Obedience to Authority - An...

Stanley Milgram

One of the most important books in social psychology of the last fifty years, “The classic account of the human tendency to follow orders, no matter who they hurt or what their consequences.” (Washington Post Book World) 
The landmark examination of humanity's susceptibility to authoritarianism, Stanley Milgram's classic speaks to the present with disturbing urgency. ""Milgram's experiments on obedience have made us more aware of the dangers of uncritically accepting authority,"" observed Peter Singer in the New York Times Book Review. 
In the 1960s, Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram famously carried out a series of experiments that forever changed our perceptions of morality and free will. The subjects—or “teachers”—were instructed to administer electroshocks to a human “learner,” with the shocks becoming progressively more powerful and painful. Controversial but now strongly vindicated by the scientific community, these experiments attempted to determine to what extent people will obey orders from authority figures regardless of consequences. ""The aim of this investigation was to find when and how people would defy authority in the face of a clear moral imperative."" 
With an introduction from Dr. Philip Zimbardo, who conducted the famous Stanford Prison Experiment, Obedience to Authority is Milgram’s fascinating and troubling chronicle of his classic study and a vivid and persuasive explanation of his conclusions.

I No Longer Dream

Michael Brandt

In 2018, I suffered a massive cerebral stroke at the age of 24 after cracking my neck. I woke up in a hospital with little knowledge of myself, the world, or any grounding in reality because of the damage to my brain along with left-sided paralysis. I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over. This is how I came to terms with my new existence while letting go of my past, not because I want to but because it is a requirement to move forward.

Digestive & Internal Issues -...

Lilly Richardsen

Within the human body's complex internal landscape, disorders of the digestive and related systems represent some of the most common yet frequently misunderstood challenges to health and wellbeing. From the violent gastric upheaval of viral infections to the inflammation of specialized tissues and the painful complications of venous structures, internal disorders can dramatically disrupt daily functioning while remaining largely invisible to outside observers. This comprehensive exploration delves into three distinct yet equally significant conditions—Norovirus infection, Mastitis, and Hemorrhoids—each representing a unique window into how internal physiological disruptions manifest, progress, and impact quality of life. 
The narrative of internal disorders transcends mere symptomatology; it encompasses the intricate biological mechanisms, environmental triggers, and personal experiences that shape both clinical presentations and therapeutic approaches. By examining the virulent nature of Norovirus, the inflammatory complexities of Mastitis, and the structural challenges of Hemorrhoids, this book illuminates the multifaceted nature of conditions that affect internal systems with remarkable frequency yet often remain shrouded in discomfort and silence. Readers will journey through the physiological landscapes where these conditions develop—from the highly contagious viral particles that wreak havoc on gastrointestinal function to the inflammatory processes within mammary tissues and the vascular complications of rectal veins—while exploring the broader contexts of prevention, diagnosis, and comprehensive management strategies. Through evidence-based information and clinical insight, we aim to transform understanding of these common yet challenging conditions, providing healthcare professionals, affected individuals, and curious readers with a nuanced perspective on disorders that significantly impact internal health across diverse populations.
