  Invisible Illness - A History...

  A moving cultural history of disability—and a powerful call to action to change how our medical system and society supports those with complex chronic conditions 
    
  From lupus to Lyme, invisible illness is often dismissed by everyone but the sufferers. Why does the medical establishment continually insist that, when symptoms are hard to explain, they are probably just in your head? 
    
  Inspired by her work with long COVID patients, medical anthropologist Emily Mendenhall traces the story of complex chronic conditions to show why both research and practice fail so many. Mendenhall points out disconnects between the reality of chronic disease—which typically involves multiple intersecting problems resulting in unique, individualized illness—and the assumptions of medical providers, who behave as though chronic diseases have uniform effects for everyone. And while invisible illnesses have historically been associated with white middle-class women, being believed that you are sick is even more difficult for patients whose social identities and lived experiences may not align with dominant medical thought. Weaving together cultural history with intimate interviews, Invisible Illness upholds the experiences of those living with complex illness to expose the failures of the American healthcare system—and how we can do better. 
    
  "This book challenges us to address discrimination in clinical care for people with complex chronic conditions like long Covid, questioning why some are believed while others aren't—a persistent disparity in US healthcare."—Oni Blackstock, primary care and HIV physician and founder of Health Justice

  Pharmacology - Drugs and Their...

  The study of pharmacology has a rich and complex history that dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations relied on plants, minerals, and animal-derived substances to treat various ailments, laying the foundation for modern drug development. The evolution of pharmacology is a testament to human ingenuity and the ongoing quest for medical advancement. 
  In early human societies, medicine was largely based on trial and error. Traditional healers and shamans experimented with natural substances to alleviate pain, heal wounds, and cure diseases. Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek civilizations made significant contributions to early pharmacology by documenting medicinal plants and their effects. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical text from around 1550 BCE, provides one of the earliest records of pharmacological knowledge, listing hundreds of remedies derived from herbs and minerals. Similarly, the works of Hippocrates and Dioscorides in ancient Greece emphasized the importance of observation and classification in medicine. 
  The transition from natural remedies to synthesized drugs gained momentum during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. With the development of the scientific method, researchers began isolating active compounds from plants and studying their effects in controlled settings. The 19th century saw groundbreaking discoveries, such as the isolation of morphine from opium and the synthesis of aspirin. These advancements paved the way for the pharmaceutical industry, leading to the development of more effective and standardized treatments.

  A military historian analyzes the ingenious WWII tanks known as Hobart’s Funnies, detailing their development and their role in the D-Day campaign. When the British and Canadians landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, they were accompanied by specialized armored vehicles designed to remove German obstacles and mines. Developed by the Royal Engineers, these tanks known as Hobart's Funnies featured a range of ingenious innovations, from carpet-laying and bridge-laying devices to a giant 290-millimeter mortar.   Examining these vehicles from technical development to combat deployment, military historian Richard C. Anderson Jr. gives a minute-by-minute account of D-Day's early hours on Sword, Juno, and Gold Beaches—the critical moments when success hinged on the assault engineers’ ability to  clear a path or breach the seawall.   Anderson also describes the events on Omaha and Utah Beaches, where U.S. troops, despite being offered these vehicles, stormed ashore without them. Through careful comparison of conditions and outcomes, Anderson assesses the vehicles’ performance and impact on D-Day's successes and failures.
