  Medieval Medicine - Practices...

  Medieval medicine was deeply rooted in the knowledge and traditions inherited from antiquity. The healing practices of this era were shaped by ancient medical texts, religious doctrine, and the widespread belief in the humoral theory. These influences created a medical system that blended scientific understanding with spiritual and superstitious elements, guiding both diagnosis and treatment. 
  Ancient medical texts played a crucial role in shaping medieval medical thought. The works of Greek and Roman physicians, particularly Hippocrates and Galen, were preserved and studied throughout the Middle Ages. Their teachings on anatomy, physiology, and disease informed medical practice for centuries. Galen’s theories, in particular, dominated medieval medicine, as they were seen as authoritative explanations of bodily functions and imbalances. Additionally, medical knowledge from the Islamic world, especially from scholars such as Avicenna and Al-Razi, was translated into Latin and integrated into European medical education. These texts provided new insights and expanded the understanding of disease and treatment methods. 
  Religion was a dominant force in medieval medical practices. The Christian Church played a central role in both medical care and the dissemination of medical knowledge. Many hospitals were founded and operated by religious institutions, and healing was often associated with divine intervention. Monks and priests studied medical texts, offering treatments based on both practical remedies and spiritual practices. Prayers, relics, and pilgrimages to sacred sites were commonly sought as cures for illnesses. Saints were believed to have healing powers, and their relics were used in healing rituals. Despite the reliance on faith-based healing, religious institutions also preserved and transmitted valuable medical knowledge, ensuring that ancient texts survived and continued to influence medieval medical practices.

  No Scrap Left Behind - My Life...

  Teralyn Pilgrim had no idea the environmental and economic impact of food waste, or that she could save $100 a month by being waste free. But when a story of hungry children fills her with unbearable guilt, she decided to make a change to the way her family approached mealtime. Despite finicky kids and a skeptical husband, Pilgrim turned her feelings of guilt into action and created a zero-food waste kitchen. 
   
   
   
  Pilgrim began her journey by defining food waste with Rule #1: the Hungry Kid Test—would you throw something edible away with a hungry child watching? If the answer is yes, it can go in the compost. If the answer is no, then it's time to get creative. 
   
   
   
  Narrating her trials and errors—emphasis on errors—Pilgrim invites listeners to her table, where leftover food is a personal challenge to reduce waste, save money, and guard against squandering natural resources. Things get tricky when she discovers a five-year-old fish in her freezer, accidentally buys the grossest fat-free cookies in the world, and finds her dog is as picky as the kids. Addressing myths about how being waste-free is too hard (it's not) and whether expiration dates mean anything (they don't), Pilgrim teaches listeners clever ways to be resourceful while also offering a broader look at why food waste matters and the global effects of this massive problem.

  Narrative of the Life of...

  Frederick Douglass

  Part of the Hero Classics series 
  “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” 
  Douglass cultivated himself to such an extent that the listeners of his lectures doubted if his narratives were true. His autobiography is both a compelling tale of a slave and a contribution to the public discourse on slavery. His language is poetic and precise honed in its simplicity as if something artificially put together but immensely natural at the same time. Opening this book is opening the door into Douglass's consciousness and tracking his inner journey of finding himself in the world: a story of his childhood and youth – a long and laborious path to freedom. Douglass talks about the explicit punishments and tortures that slaves were exposed to. Despite the suffering, he emphasises the power of self-education and continuous resistance that pushes one to fight their predicament. The publication of this book was such an unprecedented event that the author had to leave the US for Europe for about two years. The fact that Douglass's experience and meditations were issued in print gave him a wider audience, not restricting dissemination of his beliefs to those who could physically come to his public speeches.

  Misfire - The Sarajevo...

  Paul Miller-Melamed

  The story has so often been told: Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Habsburg Empire, was shot dead on June 28, 1914, in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. Thirty days later, the Archduke's uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph, declared war on the Kingdom of Serbia, producing the chain reaction of European powers entering the First World War. 
   
   
   
  In Misfire, Paul Miller-Melamed narrates the history of the Sarajevo assassination and the origins of World War I from the perspective of the Balkans. Miller-Melamed embeds the incident in the longer-term conditions of the Balkans that gave rise to the political murder. He thus illuminates the centrality of the Bosnian Crisis and the Balkan Wars of the early twentieth century to European power politics, while explaining how Serbs, Bosnians, and Habsburg leaders negotiated their positions in a dangerous geopolitical environment. Despite the absence of evidence tying official Serbia to the assassination conspiracy, Miller-Melamed shows how it spiraled into a diplomatic crisis that European statesmen proved unable to resolve peacefully. 
   
   
   
  Contrasting the vast disproportionality between a single deadly act and an act of war that would leave ten million dead, Misfire contends that the real causes for the world war lie in "civilized" Europe rather than the endlessly discussed political murder.
