  Skulls, height, hands, legs, sex organs, blood, brains, stomachs, ears and corpses – discover Irish history anew through the utterly unique prism of the human body.
  From the brutal beheading of the red-headed Clonycavan Man some 2,000 years ago to the ancient skulls – believed to be those of giants – stolen from islands off Ireland's west coast, medical historian Dr Ian Miller brings readers on a delightfully gruesome journey through our rich heritage.
  Learn about the fears of excessive tea drinking that were once such a great cause for concern on this isle – scarcely believable! Meet the doctors who revolutionised Irish medicine in the 19th century – along with the deplorable bodysnatching that accompanied this progress.
  Fact and folklore intertwine seamlessly throughout, providing the reader with an endlessly fascinating account of matters historical and mythological.

  So, this is how it often goes… even though you feel exhausted and cannot wait to get some relaxing good night’s sleep… when you get into bed and close your eyes, you just cannot seem to turn your mind off… your body feels tense… or you find yourself waking up every hour to check your phone. In an age of information and hustle, the natural rhythm of our bodies can often be easily disturbed… Your lifestyle, daily activities, diet, and emotional or physical well-being may all play a role in your body’s natural ability to fall asleep or enjoy deep sleep. While you may not have much control over how your day goes and how much caffeine you end up consuming to meet that deadline… imagine that the minute you get into bed is when you gain complete control over your mind and body 
  If it is difficult for you to disconnect from the day and make the decision to surrender to your body’s natural needs, you may consider creating a relaxing nighttime routine to help you with this. This may include putting your phone away from your bed, reading a book, journaling, practicing gratitude, and listening to this deep sleep meditation and affirmations. Regardless of what this may look like for you, consider this time as an opportunity to prep your mind and body to transition from an active state of doing to a state of relaxing. Let your body know that it is time to slow down and immerse itself in deep relaxation. 
  Centering our attention on our body, allows us to listen to it, acknowledge it and be aware of the cues it is giving us. When we lead hectic lifestyles or go through hardships, we disconnect from our bodies. Consider that nighttime is when you give love to your body by acknowledging all the hard work it did for you throughout the day… and invite it to relax and let go. By sending your loving attention to the different parts of your body, you are communicating that it is safe to let go and move into a state of relaxation

  Viral Infections - Stealthy...

  In the microscopic realm of human disease, viral pathogens represent some of the most elusive, adaptable, and consequential threats to global health. Operating at the boundary between living and non-living entities, viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to hijack cellular machinery, evade immune detection, and persist within host populations. This comprehensive exploration delves into three viral infections of profound clinical and social significance—HIV-AIDS, Hepatitis, and Herpes—each representing a distinct paradigm of viral pathogenesis, chronicity, and impact on human health and society. 
  The narrative of viral infections extends far beyond clinical manifestations; it encompasses complex immunological interactions, epidemiological patterns, and profound social dimensions that reshape individual lives and collective health systems. By examining the molecular mechanisms, transmission dynamics, clinical progression, and therapeutic approaches to these viral conditions, this book illuminates how these stealthy pathogens navigate human biology to establish persistent infections with far-reaching consequences. Readers will journey through the intricate biological landscapes where these viruses operate—from the immune devastation of HIV to the liver-centric pathology of hepatitis viruses and the neurotropic persistence of herpes viruses—while also exploring the broader contexts of stigma, public health challenges, and the remarkable scientific advances that have transformed many of these once-devastating diagnoses into manageable chronic conditions. Through evidence-based information, historical context, and forward-looking analysis, we seek to deepen understanding of these complex viral infections that continue to challenge medical science while profoundly affecting millions of lives globally.
