    Saving Ryan is the inspiring story by physician-scientist Dr. Emil Kakkis about his journey to develop a new, first-ever treatment for an ultra-rare genetic disease called MPS. The scientist had great challenges getting grant and industry support for this rare disease despite the solid science behind doing the treatment. Simultaneously across the country, Mark Dant was in a quest to save his 9-year-old son, Ryan, afflicted by MPS for which there was no cure. Through extraordinary persistence, and with a clock-ticking on Ryan’s declining health, Mr. Dant eventually learns of Dr. Kakkis and his work, whose enzyme replacement therapy could potentially treat Ryan successfully. With renewed hope of saving his son’s life, Mr. Dant turns his attention to fundraising through his own Ryan Foundation to support the continued development of the life-saving treatment. Through an extraordinary series of obstacles and heartaches, Dr. Kakkis develops a successful treatment and ultimately gains the required support of a biotech company to complete the project. Despite early success treating MPS patients, the FDA’s abruptly changing policies caused great uncertainty as to whether the therapy would ever get approved – leading to a dramatic showdown at an FDA Advisory Committee meeting.

    Bluebird Seasons - Witnessing...

    In this A Sand County Almanac for the twenty-first century, nature writer and zoologist Mary Taylor Young tells the story of the growing effects of climate change on her land in the pine-covered foothills of southern Colorado. 
     
     
      
    Climate change wasn't yet on the public radar when Young and her husband bought their piece of the wild in 1995. They built a cabin and set up a trail of bluebird nest boxes, and Mary began a nature journal of her observations, delighting in the ceaseless dramas, joys, and tragedies that are the fabric of life in the wild. 
     
     
      
    But changes greater than the seasonal cycles of nature became evident over time: increasing drought, trees killed by plagues of beetles, wildfires, catastrophic weather, bears entering hibernation later and thinner, the decline of some familiar birds, and the appearance of new species. 
     
     
      
    Using the journal as a chronicle of change, Young tells a story echoed in everyone's lives and backyards. But it's not time to despair, she writes. It's time to act. 
     
     
      
    Young sees hope in the human ability to overcome great obstacles, in the energy and determination of young people, and in nature's resilience, which the bluebirds show season after season.

    AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF LIFE IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S RICHEST NATIONS AHEAD OF THE FIFA 2022 WORLD CUP
    
    Just 75 years ago, the Gulf nation of Qatar was a backwater, reliant on pearl diving. Today it is a gas-laden parvenu with seemingly limitless wealth and ambition. Skyscrapers, museums and futuristic football stadiums rise out of the desert and Ferraris race through the streets. But in the shadows, migrant workers toil in the heat for risible amounts.
    Inside Qatar reveals how real people live in this surreal place, a land of both great opportunity and great iniquity. Ahead of Qatar's time in the limelight as host of the 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup, anthropologist John McManus lifts a lid on the hidden worlds of its gilded elite, its spin doctors and thrill seekers, its manual labourers and domestic workers.
    
    The sum of their tales is not some exotic cabinet of curiosities. Instead, Inside Qatar opens a window onto the global problems - of unfettered capitalism, growing inequality and climate change - that concern us all.

  • Resetting the Alarm in Long COVID: The Nervous System Persistent Symptoms and the Role of Stellate Ganglion Block - cover

    Resetting the Alarm in Long...

    Resetting the Alarm in Long COVID is a calm, evidence-informed, and patient-focused audiobook for people living with persistent symptoms after COVID-19 — especially those who feel unheard, confused, or unsure why their body has not returned to normal. 
    Many people with Long COVID continue to experience fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, palpitations, pain, dizziness, and gut symptoms long after the initial infection has cleared. Often, medical tests appear normal, leaving patients feeling dismissed or uncertain about what is happening. 
    This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate explanation of Long COVID that goes beyond the virus itself — focusing on the role of the nervous system and how prolonged dysregulation can drive very real physical symptoms. Using accessible, non-technical language, it explains concepts such as sickness behaviour, autonomic imbalance, and why standard treatments and rehabilitation approaches do not always lead to full recovery. 
    A central section of the audiobook explores stellate ganglion block (SGB) — a targeted procedure that has gained growing attention as a potential option for some people with Long COVID. You will learn what SGB is, how it works, why it may help certain symptoms, who might be an appropriate candidate, and where its limitations lie. Importantly, SGB is not presented as a cure or guaranteed solution, but as one possible tool within a broader recovery framework. 
    The later chapters focus on what recovery looks like when it is not linear, including life after SGB, maintaining improvement, and supporting a calmer nervous system through pacing, rest, sleep, and gentle rehabilitation. 
    This audiobook is not about blame, pressure, or false promises. It is about understanding, dignity, and informed choice — offering reassurance that your symptoms are real and that a thoughtful, hopeful path forward is possible.
