  Swamplands of the Soul  
  Is the purpose of life to achieve happiness? Who does not long to arrive some distant day at that sunlit meadow where we may abide in pure contentment? in reality we know life is not like that: our road is often dreary, the way unclear. Much of the time we are lost in the dismal states of guilt, grief, betrayal, doubt, depression, anger, terror and the like. Is this all we can hope for?  
  Perhaps not, says this author. The Jungian perspective, by encompassing both the meadow and the bog, asserts that the goal of life is not happiness but meaning. And meaning, though it may not be all sunlight and blossoms, is real.  
  Swamplands of the Soul explores the quicksands where we have all floundered. It lights a beacon by showing what they mean in terms of our individual journey and the engendering of soul. For it is precisely where we encounter the gravitas of life that we also uncover its purpose, its   dignity and its deepest meaning.

  The optimal state for learning is one of safety, connection, motivation, and engagement. 
   
   
   
  Every student and teacher is different, but there's one thing each has in common: a responsive nervous system ready for action. Whether it's a fight breaking out on the playground, a difficult conversation with a parent, or an impromptu fire drill, understanding how the nervous system responds can help keep teachers and students on an even keel. 
   
   
   
  Polyvagal Theory (PVT) has had a tremendous impact on the mental health field, shedding light on how the nervous system predictably moves between different states in response to changing situations. School consultant Debra Em Wilson introduces PVT to educators and shows how using PVT-guided strategies can help create optimal learning environments. When school staff understand the role of the nervous system in learning, they can better help students develop the skills leading to increased resilience, adaptability, and flexibility: essential qualities for social, emotional, and academic success.

  The groundbreaking book "Unlocking Herbal Antivirals: A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Immune Booster" explores the field of herbal medicine in great detail, emphasizing how effective it is at treating viral infections. This book, written by Helena Brooks, bridges the gap between conventional wisdom and contemporary research to give readers a thorough grasp of herbal antivirals and how they support the body's natural defenses.  
  The book starts by explaining the basics of viral infections and going into how viruses enter the body and get past the immune system. Through a combination of historical narratives and modern research, the book vividly depicts humanity's long-standing attempt to use plants' medicinal properties to combat viral infections.  
  The book's foundation is an extensive analysis of a broad range of plants recognized for their antiviral properties. Every herb is carefully documented, including information on its traditional applications, botanical traits, and scientific backing for its antiviral properties. Astragalus and licorice root are two lesser-known but equally valuable herbal allies in the fight against viral viruses, as the reader is introduced to a veritable gold mine of plant allies.  
  "Unlocking Herbal Antivirals" stands out due to its focus on herbal treatment, supported by evidence. The author painstakingly sorts through the enormous amount of material, condensing intricate scientific conclusions into understandable ideas for readers of all stripes.

  A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
   
   
   
  From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
   
   
   
  Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.
