Synopsis

Mount Rainier: A Record of Exploration is a meticulously curated anthology that chronicles the myriad adventures and scientific endeavors surrounding the majestic Mount Rainier. Through a collection of essays, firsthand accounts, and exploratory narratives, this volume captures not only the breathtaking natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest but also the rich interplay between human aspiration and the rugged wilderness. Written in a vivid literary style that oscillates between poetic descriptions and precise scientific observation, the book sheds light on the historical context of exploration in the region, reflecting broader themes in American environmental history and mountaineering literature. The contributors to this anthology include explorers, naturalists, and scientists whose lives were shaped by their encounters with the mountain. Their collective experiences reveal how Mount Rainier has long served as a canvas for human imagination and a site of inquiry. The book's diverse voices echo the cultural and scientific shifts from early indigenous understanding to modern ecological awareness, imbued with the spirit of adventure that propelled its writers. I highly recommend Mount Rainier: A Record of Exploration to anyone fascinated by nature, history, and the enduring allure of the American wilderness. This book invites readers to not only appreciate the grandeur of Mount Rainier but also to consider their own relationship with the environments that shape our lives.

"You're Not Doing It Right" -...

Ellen Patnaude

In "You're Not Doing It Right," Ellen Patnaude bravely opens the door to the haunting reality of Lewy body dementia (LBD) and unravels its profound impact on families. One of the most common types of dementia after Alzheimer's disease, LBD is marked by fluctuations in cognition, hallucinations, and motor symptoms. The journey begins with subtle warnings of small changes in her mother's behavior that worry Patnaude's father, but go unnoticed by the author and her sibling.
Through heartfelt storytelling, Patnaude recounts her challenges in addressing the disturbing shifts in her mother's behavior and managing their long-standing, emotionally charged relationship. The pages unfold with raw honesty, detailing the struggles that ensure when a family is faced with a progressive, life-altering diagnosis. In contrast to the 'long goodbye' of Alzheimer's disease, LBD plunges Patnaude and her family into a roller coaster ride from hell. Every emotion is laid bare, from the initial denial to the desperate attempts to help and connect with a loved one slipping away.
Patnaude offers invaluable insights and lessons learned in the throes of this heartbreaking journey. With unwavering candor, she reflects on what might have made a difference for herself and her family members and shares the resources that may help other struggling families. She acknowledges the commonality of denial and the universal resistance to accepting a devastating diagnosis, especially when glimpses of normalcy persist. The relentless challenges of caring for someone with any type of dementia often lead to heightened stress, exhaustion, and severe emotional strain on caregivers. In this exploration of love, loss, and resilience, Patnaude extends a compassionate hand to those grappling with similar circumstances, offering solace and understanding within the pages of this deeply moving memoir.

The Promise of Psychedelics -...

Dr. Peter Silverstone

"Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Peter Silverstone was a young MD who took up a new position in psychopharmacology research at Oxford University. Since then, the field has bloomed into a spectrum of possibilities that include the use of psychedelics as a treatment for depression, addiction, PTSD, grief, and anxiety. The Promise of Psychedelics is for you—if you or someone you know has not received successful treatment despite trying several mental-health therapy programs and medication. You are not alone: one in five adults suffer mental-health issues that impact their functioning. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, cannabinoids, and LSD can cause profound, intense changes—not only in what we experience but how we think, how we feel, and what we do. Dr. Silverstone avoids scientific language whenever possible, so you won’t feel overwhelmed. You’ll be introduced to the most recent advances in our understanding of psychedelics: what they are, how they work, what the risks are, and which ones will transform mental-health treatment for millions of patients. You’ll gain an understanding of the complexity of the regulatory approval process and why it takes so long for some of these psychedelics to become legal for therapeutic use. You’ll walk away from The Promise of Psychedelics with a big dose of hope if you’ll pardon the pun. The good news is that we’re on the cusp of a revolution in mental health—one offering hope that many just might soon see the end of mental illness."
