  Heal the Beasts - A Jaunt...

  DVM Philipp Schott

  How and why did humans begin to treat sick and injured animals? And how did those practices, and the associated attitudes, evolve from prehistory to the present day? 
   
   
   
  To answer these questions, Dr. Schott shares stories of twenty-two different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, examining the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed by these people and their colleagues. But at the heart of the tale lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. 
   
   
   
  James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth-century Manhattan. Along the way, we see every kind of person trying to heal every kind of creature. 
   
   
   
  Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.

  America’s Most Notorious Fires:...

  It had taken about 40 years for Chicago to grow from a small settlement of about 300 people into a thriving metropolis with a population of 300,000, but in just two days in 1871, much of that progress was burned to the ground. In arguably the most famous fire in American history, a blaze in the southwestern section of Chicago began to burn out of control on the night of October 8, 1871. Thanks to The Chicago Tribune, the fire has been apocryphally credited to a cow kicking over a lantern in Mrs. Catherine O’Leary’s barn, and though that was not true, the rumor dogged Mrs. O’Leary to the grave. Of course, the cause of the fire didn’t matter terribly much to the people who lost their lives or their property in the blaze. Thanks to dry conditions, wind, and wooden buildings, firefighters were never actually able to stop the fire, which burned itself out only after it spent nearly two whole days incinerating several square miles of Chicago. 
  Overshadowed by the much better covered and publicized Great Chicago Fire that occurred on the very same evening, the fire that started in the Wisconsin logging town of Peshtigo generated a firestorm unlike anything in American history. In addition to destroying a wide swath of land, it killed at least 1,500 people and possibly as many as 2,500, several times more than the number of casualties in Chicago.  
  On April 18, 1906, most of the residents of the city of San Francisco were sound asleep when the ground started to shake around 5:15 a.m., but what started as fairly soft tremors turned into a violent shaking in all directions. Unfortunately for San Franciscans, the worst was yet to come. During the earthquake, the city’s gas mains and water mains were ruptured, which had the effects of starting a number of fires and preventing the residents from being equipped to fight them.

  Too Wired For Silence Too Tired...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. There is a particular kind of evening that most people know. The day is done but the mind isn't. Too restless for silence, too tired for anything that asks much of it. The body wants to sleep. The brain has other ideas. 
   
  This audiobook was made for that exact hour. 
   
  Ten stories drawn from the science and history of sleep — each one fascinating enough to quiet a restless mind, calm enough not to keep it awake. A seventeen-year-old who stayed awake for eleven days and watched his own mind come apart. The lost practice of sleeping in two separate blocks that most of humanity followed before electric light erased it. The graduate student who discovered REM sleep by watching a child's eyes move in the dark. An Italian family carrying a gene that makes sleep impossible. The sleepwalker who cooked a full meal in the night and found the evidence in the morning. The epidemic that swept through the world in 1917 and left thousands suspended between sleep and wakefulness for decades. And the neuroscientist who discovered that the sleeping brain spends its nights quietly cleaning itself. 
   
  No chapters. No cliffhangers. One continuous, unhurried journey narrated in a single deep male voice, designed to carry the listener from the restlessness of the evening toward the quiet of sleep. 
   
  For everyone who has ever lain in the dark, too wired for silence and too tired for anything stimulating, and wished there was something in between.
