The Guide to Medical Diagnosis -...

Ava Westwood

In medical diagnosis, understanding symptoms and signs is fundamental to identifying and treating illness. These two elements are the building blocks that guide healthcare professionals in determining the appropriate course of action. While often used interchangeably, symptoms and signs have distinct meanings in the diagnostic process. 
Symptoms are subjective experiences reported by the patient. They include sensations like pain, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea that the patient feels but that cannot be directly observed by others. Symptoms are important because they are often the first clues that something is wrong in the body. Healthcare providers rely on detailed questioning to gather this information and help form a diagnosis. However, symptoms alone can be vague and nonspecific, making it crucial to follow up with a physical examination and additional diagnostic tests to confirm the cause. 
Signs, on the other hand, are objective findings that can be observed, measured, or detected by healthcare professionals. These may include visible changes in the body such as swelling, rash, or jaundice, as well as measurable indicators like blood pressure readings or abnormal heart sounds. Unlike symptoms, signs do not depend on the patient’s report but are evident to the clinician. The ability to recognize signs accurately is critical in diagnosing conditions early and accurately.

Memes For Mummyji - Making Sense...

Santosh Desai

A portrait of India in mid-sentence - caught between tradition and transformation, noise and nuance. 
 
From selfies and what they mean to the travails of modern love and the new vocabulary of politics, Santosh Desai returns to chronicle the invisible revolutions of Indian life with his signature wit and insight. In Memes for Mummyji, he explores how the mobile phone - now as common as the pressure cooker - has quietly reshaped everything: how we shop, flirt, pray, protest, and parent.  
This is not a book about technology. It's about us. Our habits, our contradictions, our new-found freedoms - and the deep cultural software that still runs underneath. Warm, keenly perceptive and deeply human, this book, with essays drawn from over a decade of observation, is a love letter to the everyday theatre of Indian life in the digital age.

BLEED - Destroying Myths and...

Tracey Lindeman

Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That's the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as endometriosis. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood—and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo care, often leaving patients worse off. 
 
 
 
Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of BLEED—part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day. 
 
 
 
BLEED isn't a self-help book. It's an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging book. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur listeners to fight for nothing short of revolution.

Tidy First? - A Personal...

Kent Beck

Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable, requires breaking it up into manageable sections.

● Understand the basic theory of how software design works and the forces that act on it 
 
 
 
● Explore the difference between changes to a system's behavior and changes to its structure
