  From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
   
   
   
  Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
   
   
   
  Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

  In this comprehensive series, we delve into three distinct yet impactful health conditions that affect millions of individuals across the globe. Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement, leading to tremors, stiffness, and balance problems. This progressive condition challenges not only the individuals living with it but also their families and caregivers, requiring ongoing management and adjustment to daily life. By understanding the causes, symptoms, and current treatments available, we aim to shed light on this complex disease and offer strategies for living with it. 
  Next, we explore Sciatica, a condition caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which can result in sharp, radiating pain in the lower back and legs. Sciatica can be debilitating, often limiting mobility and affecting one's ability to perform routine tasks. We will examine its causes, the various forms it takes, and the most effective treatments, from physical therapy to medication, offering practical advice on managing the pain and improving quality of life. 
  Lastly, we address Shingles, a viral infection caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. While commonly known for the painful rash it produces, shingles can also lead to severe nerve pain that persists long after the rash has healed, a condition known as postherpetic neuralgia. This book explores the risk factors, symptoms, and treatments available, along with preventive measures such as vaccination. By providing in-depth information, we aim to empower individuals to better understand and manage shingles, reducing its impact on their health and well-being. 
  Through these books, we seek to provide a detailed and compassionate approach to understanding these conditions.

  After serving as a US Marine during World War II and attending college on the GI Bill, Sam Keith decided to seek adventure in Alaska as a laborer on the Adak Navy base. There he befriended Dick Proenneke, whose shared love of the outdoors, hard work, and self-reliance quickly bonded an alliance between the two. Together they explored the wilds of South Central Alaska, while working on the Navy base, hunting and fishing with friends and breathing in the great outdoors. Keith was ready to leave after three years of finding almost everything he sought—not realizing then how his fate was intrinsically tied to his friend's and how it would lead to writing the bestselling book One Man's Wilderness. 
   
   
   
  Sam Keith passed away in 2003. But in 2013, his son-in-law and children's book author/illustrator Brian Lies discovered in an archive box in their garage a book manuscript, originally written in 1974 after the publication of One Man's Wilderness. First Wilderness is the story of Keith's own experiences, at times harrowing, funny, and fascinating. Along with the original manuscript are excerpts from his journals, letters, and notebooks, woven in to create a compelling and poignant memoir of search and discovery. Foreword by Nick Jans, one of Alaska's foremost authors and photographers, and afterword by Keith's daughter Laurel Lies.

  From the author of Tokyo Vice comes the wild, true story of cyber-era commerce, crime, cold-hard cash, and one of the greatest heists in history. 
   
  Even in hell, Bitcoin talks. This modern take on an old Japanese saying still holds true. Cryptocurrency was supposed to do for money what the internet did for information, but it didn't work out that way. Its virtual existence unleashed real-world chaos―especially in the homeland of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Tokyo was the center of the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, until that company collapsed with nearly half a billion dollars' worth of Bitcoin gone missing. It might be the greatest heist in history. If it was a heist. 
   
  So what really happened? The Devil Takes Bitcoin tells the true story of the humble-to-hot commodity, from the former geek website that launched the boom to an inside world of absent-minded CEOs, hucksters, hackers, cybercrooks, drug dealers, corrupt federal agents, evangelical libertarians, and clueless techies. You'll discover Bitcoin's connection to the infamous Silk Road, learn why hell has nothing on Japan's criminal justice system, and get the lowdown on the high cost of betting with the Devil's dollars. All of this for less than the price of a single Bitcoin.
