The Plague Years - A Doctor’s...

Ross A. Slotten MD

In 1992, Dr. Ross A. Slotten signed more death certificates in Chicago—and, by inference, the state of Illinois—than anyone else. As a family physician, he was trained to care for patients from birth to death, but when he completed his residency in 1984, he had no idea that many of his future patients would be cut down in the prime of their lives. Among those patients were friends, colleagues, and lovers, shunned by most of the medical community because they were gay and HIV positive. Slotten wasn’t an infectious disease specialist, but because of his unique position as both a gay man and a young physician, he became an unlikely pioneer, swept up in one of the worst epidemics in modern history. 
 
Plague Years is an unprecedented first-person account of that epidemic, spanning not just the city of Chicago but four continents as well. Slotten provides an intimate yet comprehensive view of the disease’s spread alongside heartfelt portraits of his patients and his own conflicted feelings as a medical professional, drawn from more than thirty years of personal notebooks. In telling the story of someone who was as much a potential patient as a doctor, Plague Years sheds light on the darkest hours in the history of the LGBT community in ways that no previous medical memoir has.

Elixir for Excellence -...

Robin Mathew

Importance of the Book
1. Education has become a determining factor for everyone to scale up the ladder of success. Therefore everyone has an inherent desire to do well or rather excel in studies. Students involved with studies as well as their parents, teachers and other well-wishers will want a student to excel in studies. However, only a few students excel in studies, whereas the majority perform average or even poor. Elders and peers can motivate a student and the teachers can teach the subject content. Still, the mechanics of "How to study" is the gap that most students cannot bridge. The students who understand the mechanics of how to study are the ones who constantly excel in their studies. This book will bring out the finer details about the mechanics of "How to Study". The systematic method to excel in studies advocated in this book will cover all the aspects right from the beginning when the student gets to know that he is affected for a course until the final day of the final examinations.
Who should buy this book?
2. This book will be immensely valuable for students with a basic developed understanding capability, i.e. the age group starting twelve years of age.

City Planning - Concepts and...

Lyric Vale

City planning is more than just the design of roads, buildings, and parks; it is the blueprint for a society's future. The way cities are planned has a profound impact on the lives of their inhabitants, influencing everything from the air they breathe to their access to resources and opportunities. At its core, city planning seeks to create environments that are not only functional but also sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. In an era where urbanization is increasing rapidly, the importance of thoughtful city planning has never been greater.
The planning process involves much more than the physical layout of a city. It encompasses strategies for economic growth, social equity, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation. A well-planned city can enhance quality of life, boost economic productivity, and provide a sense of community, while a poorly planned city can lead to overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation. As more people move into cities every year, urban planners are tasked with creating spaces that are not only livable but also adaptable to future needs.
One of the most pressing reasons for effective city planning is the growing concern over environmental issues. Cities are responsible for a significant portion of global carbon emissions, and urban sprawl has led to the depletion of natural resources. Through sustainable urban planning practices, cities can reduce their environmental footprint by promoting energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy sources, and green spaces. Additionally, proper planning can mitigate the effects of climate change, such as flooding and heat islands, by incorporating resilient infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather conditions.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Coddling of the American Mind” by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt examines the rising culture of "safetyism" on college campuses and its broader impact on society. The authors explore how well-intentioned cultural shifts, such as overprotective parenting, the decline of free play, and an emphasis on emotional safety, have contributed to a generation of students who are more anxious, less resilient, and more polarized. The book delves into the consequences of avoiding discomfort, the rise of ideological purity, and the decline of open discourse. It offers insights into how these trends are affecting mental health, critical thinking, and social cohesion.

French Made Easy - Beginner -...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning French down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise French.
In Unit 1 you will hear French decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native French speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand French. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in French at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken French, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

1. Asking about family
2. Asking about relationship status
