Who We Are Is Made - An...

Nicole Combeau, Daniel Amador,...

Who We Are Is Made is an audio-anthology of South Florida writers and their roots, a collection of histories that came together through an open call for submissions, through workshops, through mentorships, and sometimes through phoning a friend. We set out to explore how much of us is actually the gift, legacy, the influence of those from other generations. How do they shape the language we use to describe the world around us? We carry histories across continents and cultivate them locally. We ferry recipes across the Americas and we share them with our neighbors, our friends. When we take a closer look at these things we carry, we start to see beyond the thing itself, to see it differently. These stories portray the complex and diverse makeup of Miami and South Florida, honoring the generations that shape who we are.

American Bulk - Essays on Excess

Emily Mester

What if we explored our relationship to consumption with the same depth and feeling we use to tell stories of great loves and losses? 
 
 
 
Americans are caught up in bulk. We guiltily watch Amazon boxes pile up on the porch, wade through endless reviews to find the perfect product, and crave the comforting indulgence of a chain restaurant. In American Bulk, Emily Mester intertwines cultural critique and personal history to explore how the things we buy, eat, amass, and discard become an intimate part of our lives. With humor and sharp intellect, she reflects on the joys and anxieties of family Costco trips, how a seasonal stint at Ulta Beauty taught her the insidious art of the sale, and what it means to get Mall Sad. In a nuanced examination of diet culture and fatness, Mester recounts her teenage summer at fat camp and the unexpected liberation she finds there. Finally, she ventures to Storm Lake, Iowa, to reckon with her grandmother's abandoned hoard, excavating the dysfunction that lies at the heart of her family's obsession with stuff. American Bulk introduces listeners to a striking new literary talent from the American heartland, one who dares to ask us to regard consumption not with guilt but with grace and empathy.

Mania - A Short History of...

David Healey

This provocative history of bipolar disorder illuminates how perceptions of illness, if not the illnesses themselves, are mutable over time. 
 
 
 
Beginning with the origins of the concept of mania—and the term maniac—in ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, renowned psychiatrist David Healy examines how concepts of mental afflictions evolved as scientific breakthroughs established connections between brain function and mental illness. Healy recounts the changing definitions of mania through the centuries, explores the effects of new terminology and growing public awareness of the disease on culture and society, and examines the rise of psychotropic treatments and pharmacological marketing over the past four decades. Along the way, Healy clears much of the confusion surrounding bipolar disorder even as he raises crucial questions about how, why, and by whom the disease is diagnosed. 
 
 
 
Drawing heavily on primary sources and supplemented with interviews and insight gained over Healy's long career, this lucid and engaging overview of mania sheds new light on one of humankind's most vexing ailments.
