  “Schott’s animated account moves at a fast clip, is full of colorful anecdotes, and will delight animal lovers of all stripes.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
  		 
  Sharing the stories of 22 different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, Dr. Schott examines the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed to treat all manner of creatures. From healing dogs and horses to gorillas and even dragons, at the heart lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear.
  		 
  James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth century Manhattan
  		Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.

  Heliology - The Sun and Its...

  The Sun is the central force that sustains life on Earth, providing the energy necessary for the survival of all living organisms. Without its warmth and light, the planet would be an inhospitable, frozen wasteland, incapable of supporting even the simplest forms of life. The Sun’s role extends beyond merely illuminating the sky—it drives the climate, controls weather patterns, and enables the growth of plants that form the foundation of the food chain. Every breath of oxygen produced by photosynthetic organisms owes its existence to the Sun’s energy. It is the ultimate source of life, shaping the conditions that allow ecosystems to flourish. 
  Beyond its biological influence, the Sun dictates the very rhythm of human existence. It has shaped cultures, religions, and civilizations throughout history, serving as a symbol of power, divinity, and continuity. Ancient societies, from the Egyptians and Mayans to the Greeks and Chinese, revered the Sun as a deity or a fundamental force of the cosmos. It guided the development of calendars, agricultural cycles, and even architectural designs that aligned with solar movements. The Sun’s predictable cycles of day and night, along with its seasonal variations, have dictated human activities for millennia, influencing everything from farming practices to the establishment of timekeeping systems. 
  Scientifically, the Sun is a fascinating object of study, revealing insights into the nature of energy production, stellar evolution, and cosmic interactions. As a massive nuclear reactor, it continuously fuses hydrogen into helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the process. This nuclear fusion not only sustains the Sun’s luminosity but also provides valuable knowledge for researchers seeking to harness similar energy on Earth.

  This book takes you on an unforgettable journey across the vast stretches of space and time. In From Big Bang to Black Holes, the story begins with the birth of the universe, tracing its rapid expansion from the singularity at the beginning of time. From the primordial fireball to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets, this section delves into the powerful forces and events that set the stage for everything we know today. 
  From Light to Darkness explores the cosmic dance of light and shadow as stars ignite and eventually collapse into black holes. We examine the interplay between the visible universe, powered by light, and the mysterious dark regions governed by gravity. This section looks at how light travels across vast expanses and what happens when light is trapped forever within the gravitational pull of black holes. 
  Finally, Into the Abyss takes us into the most enigmatic realms of space—black holes themselves. What lies beyond the event horizon? Is it an end or a doorway to something else entirely? This section explores the science behind black holes, their role in the fabric of spacetime, and the possibility of life beyond the abyss, with mind-bending theories of quantum mechanics and cosmic destiny.

  We all know someone who has been touched by cancer, but for many diagnosed with the disease, that is where the human touch stops. 
  Oncology massage brings us gentle human touch when we are feeling our most vulnerable, safely creating a longed-for sense of peace, wholeness and hope. 
  In this must-read book for any practitioner, carer or patient, Eleanor Oyston shares her story of bringing oncology massage to Australia. 
  After many years as a scientist, Eleanor went from diagnosing cancer in a lab to massaging clients with a variety of medical conditions. Very quickly, she witnessed the amazing benefits and knew she wanted to spread the word. 
  This is Eleanor's story of determination, passion, commitment and vision to give others the gift of compassionate, mindful touch. 
  'Cancer is rough. Cancer treatments are brutal. I can't tell you how much oncology massage has helped with my pain and fatigue. I feel less anxious and depressed, and it has improved the quality of the time I have left.As far as I'm concerned, oncology massage is value for money, no argument. Just don't take all the appointment slots!'
