  Rehabilitation therapy is a cornerstone of recovery for individuals who have experienced trauma, injury, or illness, providing a structured and supportive path to restoring physical, emotional, and social well-being. It is a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on helping individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life, tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. 
  At its essence, rehabilitation therapy seeks to address the diverse challenges that arise from trauma. Whether the trauma is physical, such as a broken bone or a neurological injury, or psychological, such as the aftermath of emotional distress, rehabilitation offers a comprehensive strategy for recovery. By emphasizing both short-term and long-term goals, it provides a clear framework for progress, helping individuals reclaim their ability to participate in daily activities and achieve a sense of normalcy. 
  One of the defining aspects of rehabilitation therapy is its reliance on collaboration. It brings together a team of professionals—physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and medical specialists—who work in unison to create personalized care plans. These plans are designed to address the specific needs of the individual, recognizing that no two recovery journeys are alike. Family members and caregivers also play a crucial role, providing support and encouragement that can significantly enhance the healing process.

  A deeply researched investigation that reveals how the United States is like a spider at the heart of an international web of surveillance and control, which it weaves in the form of globe-spanning networks such as fiber optic cables and obscure payment systemsAmerica’s security state first started to weaponize these channels after 9/11, when they seemed like necessities to combat terrorism—but now they’re a matter of course. Multinational companies like AT&T and Citicorp build hubs, which they use to make money, but which the government can also deploy as choke points. Today’s headlines about trade wars, sanctions, and technology disputes are merely tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the surface.Slowly but surely, Washington has turned the most vital pathways of the world economy into tools of domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether they are rivals or allies, allowing the U.S. to maintain global supremacy. In the process, we have sleepwalked into a new struggle for empire. Using true stories, field-defining findings, and original reporting, Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman show how the most ordinary aspects of the post–Cold War economy have become realms of subterfuge and coercion, and what we must do to ensure that this new arms race doesn’t spiral out of control.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

  The Myth of the Litigious...

  Why do Americans seem to sue at the slightest provocation? The answer may surprise you: we don’t! For every “Whiplash Charlie” who sees a car accident as a chance to make millions, for every McDonald’s customer to pursue a claim over a too-hot cup of coffee, many more Americans suffer injuries but make no claims against those responsible or their insurance companies. The question is not why Americans sue but why we don’t sue more often, and the answer can be found in how we think about injury and personal responsibility.             With this book, David M. Engel demolishes the myth that America is a litigious society. The sobering reality is that the vast majority of injury victims—more than nine out of ten—rely on their own resources, family and friends, and government programs to cover their losses. When real people experience serious injuries, they don’t respond as rational actors. Trauma and pain disrupt their thoughts, and potential claims are discouraged by negative stereotypes that pervade American television and popular culture. (Think Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad, who keeps a box of neck braces in his office to help clients exaggerate their injuries.) Cultural norms make preventable injuries appear inevitable—or the victim’s fault. We’re taught to accept setbacks stoically and not blame someone else. But this tendency to “lump it” doesn’t just hurt the victims; it hurts us all. As politicians continue to push reforms that miss the real problem, we risk losing these claims as a way to quickly identify unsafe products and practices. Because injuries disproportionately fall on people with fewer resources, the existing framework creates a social underclass whose needs must be met by government programs all citizens shoulder while shielding those who cause the harm. It’s time for America to have a more responsible, blame-free discussion about injuries and the law. With The Myth of the Litigious Society, Engel takes readers clearly and powerfully through what we really know about injury victims and concludes with recommendations for how we might improve the situation.
