    Mathematical physics provides the essential framework for formulating and solving physical problems using mathematical methods. The foundations of mathematical physics are rooted in the application of mathematical structures, such as differential equations, linear algebra, and group theory, to describe the fundamental laws of nature. Physics relies heavily on mathematical formalism to express physical quantities, relationships, and conservation laws. The development of mathematical physics has enabled the discovery and prediction of new physical phenomena, from classical mechanics to quantum field theory. 
    The language of mathematical physics is built on the concept of physical observables represented by mathematical objects such as scalars, vectors, tensors, and operators. Scalars represent single-valued quantities, vectors represent quantities with both magnitude and direction, and tensors generalize vectors to higher dimensions. Operators, such as differential operators and linear operators, act on these mathematical objects to produce measurable physical outcomes. 
    Differential equations are central to mathematical physics, as they describe how physical quantities change with respect to one another. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) govern the behavior of systems that depend on a single variable, such as the motion of a particle under a central force. Partial differential equations (PDEs) describe systems that depend on multiple variables, such as wave propagation and heat conduction. Solutions to differential equations provide the time evolution and spatial distribution of physical systems.

    Felinology, the scientific study of cats, encompasses everything from their evolutionary history to their physiology, behavior, and conservation. As one of the most beloved and enigmatic creatures, cats have captured human interest for thousands of years. Their presence in mythology, folklore, and everyday life has made them a subject of fascination, while their unique biological and behavioral traits continue to intrigue researchers and cat enthusiasts alike. Understanding felinology not only deepens our appreciation of these remarkable animals but also plays a crucial role in improving their welfare, both in domestic settings and in the wild. 
    One of the primary reasons felinology is significant is its role in bridging the gap between domesticated and wild felines. While domestic cats (Felis catus) have lived alongside humans for millennia, they retain many of the instincts and behaviors of their wild counterparts. Studying these similarities and differences helps researchers understand how domestication has shaped modern felines and provides insight into their needs and natural tendencies. Felinology also sheds light on the relationships between different feline species, allowing scientists to trace their evolutionary paths and better comprehend the intricate links between them. 
    Beyond evolutionary studies, felinology is essential in understanding feline health and well-being. From genetic predispositions to common illnesses, scientific research into feline biology has led to advancements in veterinary medicine, improving the quality of life for both domestic and captive wild cats. Research in this field has contributed to the development of vaccines, treatments for chronic conditions, and strategies for preventing diseases that affect feline populations. Furthermore, knowledge of feline nutrition and behavior has allowed pet owners and veterinarians to optimize care, ensuring cats live healthier and longer lives.

    In “Sleep”, Carlos H. Schenck, M.D., a leading sleep expert with over 40 years experience, presents a probing exploration of sleep, an activity that occupies over 200,000 hours of our lives. This timeless book delves into the intricate processes of sleep and the peculiar dysfunctions that can emerge, ranging from common issues like insomnia and sleep apnea to the more mysterious and extreme disorders known as “parasomnias”. These include dream enactment, sleep related eating disorder, sexsomnia, night terrors, and sleep violence, which surprisingly affect millions. 
    What distinguishes Dr. Schenck's work is his focus on the forefront of sleep science, particularly in identifying and treating parasomnias. He reveals their connection to more typical sleep problems and the implications for their treatment. The book is enriched with startling real-life examples from Dr. Schenck's extensive clinical practice, such as a woman who discovers chocolate wrappers in her bed upon waking or a man who, in his sleep, mistakenly perceives his wife as a threat. These narratives, drawn directly from patient experiences, illustrate the often terrifying and dangerous aspects of these disorders, offering hope and solutions to those affected and their families. 
    Significantly, each chapter of the book encompasses a wide range of sleep disorders, enriched with personal stories reported by Dr. Schenck's patients. These accounts provide an intimate first-person perspective on living with these conditions, making the book a uniquely relevant and comprehensive guide for anyone suffering from sleep disorders. By combining engaging patient narratives with the latest in medical research, "Sleep" serves as an essential resource for understanding and navigating the complex world of sleep disorders, shedding light on one of our most enigmatic medical puzzles.

    “A fascinating, comprehensive, and accessible exploration of life’s most fundamental questions. If you’re wondering who we are and why we’re here, this book is a great place to start.” —Mark Gober, award-winning author of An End to Upside Down Thinking and board member at the Institute of Noetic Sciences   Is our physical universe actually a virtual simulation that is thought into existence by consciousness? Noted astrophysicist and #1 bestselling author, Bernard Haisch explores the frontiers of science, consciousness, and God, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe and what’s behind it all.   Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist and whether there might be another experience awaiting you after the physical body dies? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? Without consciousness there is nothing. The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God. Authors Bernard Haisch and Marsha Sims tackle age-old metaphysical questions such as the following:    Are near-death experiences real?  What is the zero-point field?  What kind of being could God be?  Is there some place that God could have come from?  How does the Big Bang figure into this?  It there an afterlife, and what could it be like?  What is the purpose of life?  Is consciousness all there is?  Is the universe a virtual reality?  Why is hell impossible?

    Black maternal mortality statistics have not shifted in the past thirty years. 
     
    The maternal mortality rate for Black patients is four to five times higher than it is for White patients. This is just one example of racism as a health and national crisis, but it is a particularly tragic one. 
     
    Birthing Liberation presents reproductive justice as the pathway to equity. The issue of reproductive justice may sound specific, but it is in fact the birthplace of liberation. Its four guiding principles—analyzing power systems, addressing  
    intersecting oppressions, centering the most marginalized, and joining together across issues and identities—have the power to lead us to collective liberation in all facets of life. 
     
    Collective liberation rests on the idea that in order for us all to have equity in this world—from the safety of birthing children to the ability to bring a baby home to a safe community to having access to resources, safety, and opportunities over  
    the long term—we must all become liberated individuals. 
     
    Sabia C. Wade is a renowned radical doula and educator inspired to create a guide for how we can all achieve liberation through trauma healing and reproductive justice. 
     
    Birthing Liberation creates a path to social and systemic change, starting within the birthing world and expanding far beyond.
