Do Your Own Thing

Richard Phoenix

Synopsis

Do Your Own Thing is a full-length work of non-fiction from artist and musician Richard Phoenix detailing his experiences of the best underground arts scene you've never heard of——Do Your Own Thing, a project run by learning disability arts organisation Heart n Soul.

Looking at the transformative potential of working to support creative young people make the music and art they want to, this book contributes essential new voices, reflections and considerations to the established ideas of 'Do It Yourself' culture. Phoenix's book, written with a disarming and idiosyncratic voice, asks what our often reductive understanding of DIY aesthetics might mean in light of questions about access, support and who gives permission to whom to make art, guiding us through the kind of project only spoken about in funding reports and transforming it into a polyphonic, collaborative and joyful work of art.

The Real Problems Destroying...

Bryan Wetzel

Make no mistake, education in America is undeniably broken and careering off the tracks. This viewpoint is shared from the perspective of a father who had children navigating the education system, a husband with a wife actively contributing to the education system, and an entrepreneur who developed and sold educational resources to public schools around the country. These unique vantage points have provided an invaluable insight into the inner workings of the American education system. 
This book aims to offer an intimate glimpse behind the curtains, shedding light on the multitude of factors, policy decisions, and political entanglements that have contributed to the current state of our public education system. It serves as a wake-up call, revealing a myriad of issues that the majority of parents are blissfully unaware of, issues that are quietly eroding the foundations of our children's education. In addition to the author's personal experiences, we conducted interviews with 69 former teachers and administrators to gain a comprehensive understanding of how education has evolved over the years, and unfortunately, the findings indicate a negative trend. If parents were aware of these disconcerting revelations, it is safe to assume that they would have legitimate concerns. 
The purpose of this book is to reveal the true extent of the challenges that plague our education system in America, in the hopes of igniting a collective desire to take action and secure a brighter future for education in our nation.

Endocrinology - The Body's...

Mike Crawford

The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and organs that produce, regulate, and secrete hormones—chemical messengers that influence nearly every physiological process in the body. These hormones control metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, mood, and overall homeostasis. Unlike the nervous system, which relies on rapid electrical signals, the endocrine system operates through the bloodstream, allowing hormones to exert long-lasting effects on target organs and tissues.
The endocrine system consists of several major glands, each responsible for specific hormone production. The hypothalamus, often referred to as the control center, regulates hormonal signals and maintains communication between the nervous and endocrine systems. It directs the pituitary gland, known as the "master gland," to release hormones that influence other endocrine organs. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism through thyroid hormones, while the parathyroid glands control calcium levels in the blood. The adrenal glands produce cortisol and adrenaline, essential for stress response and energy regulation. The pancreas, an organ with both endocrine and exocrine functions, plays a crucial role in blood sugar regulation through insulin and glucagon secretion. The gonads—testes in males and ovaries in females—produce sex hormones that govern reproductive functions and secondary sexual characteristics. Additionally, the pineal gland regulates sleep-wake cycles through melatonin production.
