  Global health is a field that aims to improve health and achieve equity in health for people around the world. It involves understanding health issues that go beyond national boundaries and are influenced by conditions in various parts of the globe. The primary goal of global health is to reduce health disparities and enhance well-being on an international level by examining how diseases spread, what factors affect health, and the most effective methods to improve public health outcomes. 
    
  Global health is defined as the study, research, and practice that focuses on improving health and promoting health equity for all populations across the world. It takes a collaborative approach that involves multiple disciplines to address health challenges globally, striving to reduce inequalities in health outcomes. 
    
  The importance of global health lies in its role in preventing and controlling diseases that can affect populations worldwide. Health issues like infectious diseases do not recognize national borders, and global health efforts are essential in minimizing their spread and impact. The field also emphasizes reducing differences in health outcomes among populations by working to ensure that all people have access to necessary healthcare services, regardless of where they live or their economic situation.

  The Moon has captivated human curiosity for millennia, and its origin remains one of the most intriguing questions in planetary science. Various theories have been proposed to explain how Earth’s only natural satellite came into existence, each offering insights into the early history of the solar system. Through extensive research and lunar sample analysis, scientists have narrowed down the most plausible explanations, with the Giant Impact Hypothesis standing as the leading theory. 
  One of the earliest theories, the Fission Hypothesis, suggested that the Moon was once part of Earth and was flung into space due to the planet’s rapid rotation. This idea, proposed in the 19th century, attempted to explain similarities in composition between the Earth and Moon, but it failed to account for the Moon’s distinct isotopic ratios and angular momentum. Similarly, the Capture Hypothesis posited that the Moon was an independent celestial body that Earth’s gravity later captured. While this could explain some differences in composition, it does not align with the Moon’s nearly circular orbit or its close chemical resemblance to Earth’s mantle. The Co-formation Hypothesis, which argues that Earth and the Moon formed together from the same primordial disk of dust and gas, also struggles to explain the Moon’s unique density and lack of a substantial iron core.

  InHumana: An American Healthcare Story tells how an only child was conscripted into a war with a soulless monstrosity that repeatedly tried to throw his widowed mom's life away with the surreptitious aid of unregulated artificial intelligence. 
  Months after a stroke and two seizures robbed author Jeremy White's mom of use of her right side, a federal judge ruled her the victor of their war against Humana for wrongfully denying critically needed care. Their battle, which involved multiple hearings and appeals, is one that fewer than 10 percent of denied Medicare Advantage Plan members like her bother fighting, despite a 90 percent success rate for appeals. A Pulitzer-nominated investigation and two class-action lawsuits would eventually demystify Humana's wanton gaslighting by revealing the shocking truth behind their inhumane decisions. 
  InHumana is a timely examination of the medical-industrial complex from the belly of the beast that explores what it means to be human and eviscerates the farce of corporate personhood. White's genuine humor buoys heavy topics and hard-learned lessons about a nebulous appeals process. His epilogue—which addresses "Deny," "Defend," and "Depose—was prompted by a surge of interest in InHumana following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

  North America was not empty nor were its inhabitants savages when Europeans arrived in 1492. Quite the opposite, North America was thickly populated by indigenous people who lived in clean cities, had a thriving economy, and transformed the landscape into bountiful productivity. Forgotten Landscapes reveals the incredible extent to which Native Americans manipulated and shaped their surrounding environs through agricultural practices and urban engineering, resulting in one of the most prosperous civilizations of their time.Well before European contact, North American cities and villages were bound together by an intricate trade network. Today, Spiro Mound in rural Oklahoma is a few piles of dirt, not on the road to anywhere. But at the time of the Mississippian civilization, about a thousand years ago, it was one of the largest cities in the world. With the controlled use of fire, Native Americans had transformed thick forests into open woodlands and expanded the ranges of prairies. Through organized hunting, Natives controlled the populations of prey animals such as passenger pigeons, and when Native populations grew large enough, they developed agriculture including irrigated crops, and even orchards. In this fascinating and overdue book, author Stanley A. Rice shows his audience the Pre-Columbian landscape of America that has been largely forgotten.
