  Memory flows like a river, and it is through its constant flow that we come into being.
  
  
  Twelve of our most exciting contemporary writers consider the subject of rivers and how they shape us throughout our lives, demarcating cities as well as moulding our creative consciousness.
  
  Tessa Hadley revisits Rumer Godden's The River; Jo Hamya pays homage to Virginia Woolf; Michael Malay goes nightfishing for eels along the River Severn; Marchelle Farrell revisits the tropical waterfalls of her childhood home in Trinidad; and Caleb Azumah Nelson is drawn to the Guadalquivir in Seville.
  
  Tender and astute, By the River explores the cultural, social and psychological significance of the rivers that run through our societies and our minds, bringing together writers in a celebration of water and its transformative qualities.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  Written for curious beginners, students, clinicians-in-training, and informed patients, this guide explains the science and day-to-day realities of multiple sclerosis in clear, compassionate language. You’ll learn how an immune-mediated attack on myelin disrupts brain and spinal cord signaling; how typical presentations such as optic neuritis, sensory change, imbalance, and weakness are evaluated; and how diagnosis uses clinical history plus MRI evidence of dissemination in time and space, sometimes supported by cerebrospinal-fluid oligoclonal bands and the McDonald criteria. Understand current disease-modifying therapies (injectable, oral, and monoclonal), what they can and cannot do, and how acute relapses are treated (usually high-dose corticosteroids; plasma exchange when steroid-refractory). Equally, this book emphasizes rehabilitation, fatigue and mood management, heat sensitivity, cognition, exercise, nutrition, pregnancy planning, and shared decision-making. A vivid opening vignette follows “Aisha,” a young designer with sudden blurred vision, through referral, imaging, treatment choices, and building a relapse action plan—turning complex neurology into practical steps. 
   
  ✓ Plain-English primers with clinician-level sidebars, flowcharts, and a jargon-free glossary. 
  ✓ Case vignettes and “ask your neurologist” checklists mapped to every stage of care. 
  ✓ MRI & lab walkthroughs: lesion patterns, dissemination rules, red flags, and pitfalls. 
  ✓ Treatment landscape decoded: DMT classes, safety monitoring, vaccination timing. 
  ✓ Daily-living playbook: fatigue pacing, mobility, cognition, work, travel, and heat. 
  ✓ Practical tools: symptom tracker, flare diary, medication matrix, goal-setting sheets.

  “Provocative and thrilling ... Loeb asks us to think big and to expect the unexpected.” 
  —Alan Lightman, New York Times bestselling author of Einstein’s Dreams and Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine 
   
  Harvard’s top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star. 
   
   In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Avi Loeb, Harvard’s top astronomer, showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization. 
   In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his controversial theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our species and our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to aim for the stars—and to think critically about what’s out there, no matter how strange it seems.
