  What In God's Name Are We Doing?...

  What In God's Name Are We Doing? is a direct and uncompromising examination of modern society and the systems that shape our lives. Drawing from philosophy, spirituality, lived experience, and practical observation, this book challenges the assumptions we take for granted about government, education, work, money, mental health, and our relationship with nature. 
  Rather than arguing from political allegiance or ideology, it asks a more fundamental question: how did we build a world that feels increasingly disconnected from purpose, meaning, and one another? The book explores how division, hierarchy, and the pursuit of money have come to dominate human life, often at the expense of quality, community, and well-being. 
  Moving beyond critique, it invites the reader to consider a different way forward—one rooted in cooperation, simplicity, durability, and respect for natural systems. Without calling for violence, revolution, or authority, it focuses on internal change, shared values, and practical shifts in how we live and build our world. 
  This book is for readers who are willing to question deeply held assumptions, think beyond partisan narratives, and ask what it would mean to live in alignment with purpose, responsibility, and love.

  A geneticist and internationally recognized anti-racism educator provides a powerful, science-based rebuttal to common fallacies about human difference. 
   
   
    
  Well-meaning physicians, parents, and even scientists today often spread misinformation about what biology can and can't tell us about our bodies, minds, and identities. In this accessible, myth-busting book, geneticist Shoumita Dasgupta draws on the latest science to correct common misconceptions about how much of our social identities are actually based in genetics. 
   
   
    
  Dasgupta weaves together history, current affairs, and cutting-edge science to break down how genetic concepts are misused and how we can approach scientific evidence in a socially responsible way. With a unifying and intersectional approach disentangling biology from bigotry, the book moves beyond race and gender to incorporate categories like sexual orientation, disability, and class. Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins is an invaluable, empowering resource for biologists, geneticists, science educators, and anyone working against bias in their community.

  Dr. David Sandberg, an internationally renown pediatric neurosurgeon, combines his deep scientific and medical knowledge with raw emotion and unforgettably powerful stories of courage and love. The brain is the most complicated and perplexing of our organs, and it is also the one that makes us human. When it comes to a child's brain, the hearts of those who love them become inextricably linked to that story. 
   
   
   
  In Brain and Heart, Dr. Sandberg describes the joy, heartbreak, uncertainty, and physical and emotional challenges that come with performing brain surgery on children. While most medical memoirs focus largely on the patient perspective, Dr. Sandberg allows listeners access to his private thoughts when making agonizing decisions. 
   
   
   
  A father himself, Dr. Sandberg understands deeply how every one of his patients is an entire world, and his devotion to his patients and his work shines through. We follow him as he finds his way to neurosurgery as a young doctor through to his most heartbreaking cases and greatest triumphs. We also travel with him to underserved countries, where lifesaving surgeries that are common here are almost nonexistent, and Dr. Sandberg shares the stories of the dedicated doctors and surgeons trying to enact change. Brain and Heart is an unforgettable book that will strengthen our sense of compassion and hope.
