  The groundbreaking book "Unlocking Herbal Antivirals: A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Immune Booster" explores the field of herbal medicine in great detail, emphasizing how effective it is at treating viral infections. This book, written by Helena Brooks, bridges the gap between conventional wisdom and contemporary research to give readers a thorough grasp of herbal antivirals and how they support the body's natural defenses.  
  The book starts by explaining the basics of viral infections and going into how viruses enter the body and get past the immune system. Through a combination of historical narratives and modern research, the book vividly depicts humanity's long-standing attempt to use plants' medicinal properties to combat viral infections.  
  The book's foundation is an extensive analysis of a broad range of plants recognized for their antiviral properties. Every herb is carefully documented, including information on its traditional applications, botanical traits, and scientific backing for its antiviral properties. Astragalus and licorice root are two lesser-known but equally valuable herbal allies in the fight against viral viruses, as the reader is introduced to a veritable gold mine of plant allies.  
  "Unlocking Herbal Antivirals" stands out due to its focus on herbal treatment, supported by evidence. The author painstakingly sorts through the enormous amount of material, condensing intricate scientific conclusions into understandable ideas for readers of all stripes. Making informed judgments about their health is made possible by the book's use of case studies, clinical data, and expert interviews to provide readers with a balanced evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of herbal antivirals.

  The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

  Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
   
   
   
  In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
   
   
   
  With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.

  A magnificent work of original research that unravels history through textiles and cloth—how we make it, use it, and what it means to us. 
   
   
   
  How is a handmade fabric helping save an ancient forest? Why is a famous fabric pattern from India best known by the name of a Scottish town? How is a Chinese dragon robe a diagram of the whole universe? What is the difference between how the Greek Fates and the Viking Norns used threads to tell our destiny? 
   
   
   
  In Fabric, bestselling author Victoria Finlay spins us round the globe, weaving stories of our relationship with cloth and asking how and why people through the ages have made it, worn it, invented it, and made symbols out of it. And sometimes why they have fought for it. 
   
   
   
  She beats the inner bark of trees into cloth in Papua New Guinea, fails to handspin cotton in Guatemala, visits tweed weavers at their homes in Harris, and has lessons in patchwork-making in Gee's Bend, Alabama. 
   
   
   
  She began her research just after the deaths of both her parents—and entwined in the threads she found her personal story too. Fabric is not just a material history of our world, but Finlay's own journey through grief and recovery.

  While the modern science of medicine often seems nothing short of miraculous, religion still plays an important role in the past and present of many hospitals. When three-quarters of Americans believe that God can cure people who have been given little or no chance of survival by their doctors, how do today’s technologically sophisticated health care organizations address spirituality and faith? 
    
  Through a combination of interviews with nurses, doctors, and chaplains across the United States and close observation of their daily routines, Wendy Cadge takes readers inside major academic medical institutions to explore how today’s doctors and hospitals address prayer and other forms of religion and spirituality. From chapels to intensive care units to the morgue, hospital caregivers speak directly in these pages about how religion is part of their daily work in visible and invisible ways. In Paging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine, Cadge shifts attention away from the ongoing controversy about whether faith and spirituality should play a role in health care and back to the many ways that these powerful forces already function in healthcare today.
