  A tragedy is unfolding all around us and is receiving well overdue attention. Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy than their white peers. But Dr. Monique Rainford is working to better understand these disparities and do something about them. 
   
   
   
  Pregnant While Black is a hopeful exploration of the issues pregnant Black women face in America. In this book, Dr. Rainford draws on over twenty years of experience working in obstetrics and gynecology to offer a primer on Black pregnancies and how to better care for them. She shares the successes and testimonies of Black women who have struggled during pregnancy and childbirth, anchoring the stories of these women with carefully researched facts. Despite medical advances over the last twenty years, for Black women, the overwhelming dangers of carrying and delivering children remain and it only seems to be getting worse. 
   
   
   
  In Pregnant While Black, Rainford begins the work of "repairing the damage of the past" with an examination of the conditions that plague Black pregnancies. This important book carries the hopes and dreams of a generation looking to effect change, here and now.

  Justin Hocking grew up in a part of Colorado where so many things happened beneath the surface—mining exploits, underground nuclear testing just thirty miles from his family's home, and geothermal activity that heats one of the world's largest hot spring pools. His homelife, too, was plagued by hidden patterns of abuse and virulent masculinity. A Field Guide to the Subterranean charts the author's lifelong process of unearthing the past and reclaiming his own identity and connection to the natural world. 
   
   
   
  How might we transform our traumas into deeper care for one another and the landscapes that sustain us? How do we transcend the mythos of the rugged American male so rooted in extraction and exploitation? And how far can we move beyond the self in a memoir? Hocking explores these and other vital questions by combining personal introspection with expansive narratives that examine geology, ecology, gender theory, mining history, labor rights, and even skateboarding. 
   
    
   
  Abundant with historical research and teeming with birdlife—and ranging in location from remote caves and mountains to secluded surf breaks in Costa Rica—A Field Guide to the Subterranean heralds a boldly original and kaleidoscopic approach to the genres of memoir and nature writing.

  Hypnotherapy - Unlocking the...

  Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses the power of hypnosis to bring about positive change in a person's thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It is a natural, relaxed state of heightened awareness and focus, during which individuals are more open to suggestions and capable of accessing the subconscious mind. While hypnosis is often associated with entertainment or mysticism, hypnotherapy is a well-established and evidence-based practice used by licensed professionals to address a wide variety of issues, from stress and anxiety to chronic pain and bad habits. 
  The origins of hypnotherapy can be traced back thousands of years to ancient cultures, where the use of trance-like states was employed for healing and spiritual rituals. In more modern times, figures such as Franz Anton Mesmer and Milton Erickson helped shape the practice, bringing hypnosis into the medical field. Today, hypnotherapy is recognized as a legitimate treatment in many parts of the world, with practitioners working alongside other healthcare professionals to improve mental and physical well-being. 
  One of the core principles of hypnotherapy is that the subconscious mind plays a significant role in shaping our thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions. While the conscious mind controls our daily decisions and actions, the subconscious mind holds our deeper beliefs, memories, and automatic reactions. It is in this subconscious realm where many issues, such as phobias, unresolved trauma, and limiting beliefs, are stored and continue to influence us in ways we may not be fully aware of. Hypnotherapy works by bypassing the conscious mind and speaking directly to the subconscious, allowing for deep-seated changes to take place.

  Supermassive Black Hole - A...

  A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. This occurs when a massive amount of matter is compressed into a very small area, creating a powerful gravitational field. 
  Black holes form through various processes that involve the collapse of massive astronomical objects and the merging of smaller black holes. One primary method is the stellar collapse. Stars, during their lifecycle, fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores. When the hydrogen is depleted, they begin fusing heavier elements until iron is produced. For stars more than 20 times the mass of the Sun, the end of this fusion process leads to a supernova explosion. The core of the star collapses rapidly due to gravity, and if the core's mass is sufficiently large (typically more than about three times the mass of the Sun), it will continue collapsing into a singularity, forming a stellar-mass black hole. 
    
  Another way black holes can form is through accretion and growth. A compact object like a neutron star or a white dwarf can accumulate matter from a companion star or its surroundings. As this matter accumulates, the mass of the compact object increases, and it may eventually reach a critical mass where it collapses into a black hole.
