  The Apothecary's Wife - The...

  The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments—and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century. 
   
   
   
  Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today's global for-profit medication system. A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary's Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine's values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.

  In Get Off My Neck, Debbie Hines draws on her unique perspective as a trial lawyer, former Baltimore prosecutor, and assistant attorney general for the State of Maryland to argue that US prosecutors, as the most powerful players in the criminal justice system, systematically target and criminalize Black people. Hines describes her disillusionment as a young Black woman who initially entered the profession with the goal of helping victims of crimes, only to discover herself aiding and abetting a system that prizes plea bargaining, speedy conviction, and excessive punishment above all else. In this book, she offers concrete, specific, and hopeful solutions for just how we can come together in a common purpose for criminal justice and racial justice reform. 
   
  Get Off My Neck explains that the racial inequities in the prosecutorial system are built into our country’s DNA. What’s more, they are the direct result of a history that has conditioned Americans to perceive the Black body as insignificant at best and dangerous at worst. Unlike other books that discuss the prosecutor’s office and change from inside the office, Hines offers a proactive approach to fixing our broken prosecutorial system through a broad-based alliance of reform-minded prosecutors, activists, allies, communities, and racial justice organizations—all working together to end the racist treatment of Black people. 
   
  Told intimately through personal, family, and client narratives, Get Off My Neck is not only a deeply sobering account of our criminal justice system and its devastating impact on Black children, youth, and adults but also a practical and inspiring roadmap for how we can start doing better right now. 
   
  “Years as a prosecutor taught Debbie Hines that justice in America isn’t colorblind—it’s color coded. In Get Off My Neck, Hines not only exposes the staggering racial inequities in our prosecutorial system and the harsh history that produced it, she lights a brilliant path toa more just and equitable future.”—Marc H. Morial, President and CEO, National Urban League

  Successful Introvert in...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  We often seem to be living in an extroverted world—it is the route to attention. We teach our children to speak up, not be shy, and encourage them to be bold. Even our parents would tell us that “the squeaky wheel gets the oil!” The media tells us that the person willing to be the loudest will win the reality show, get the recording contract, get hits on YouTube… Growing up, we were encouraged to find our voice, choose a research area, and set the framework for a lifetime profession. 
  Many claims that Americans live in an “extroverted society” that rewards extroverted behavior and rejects introversion. This is because the United States is currently a culture of personality, whereas other cultures are cultures of character. Being an introvert in an extrovert’s world is doable—maybe even pleasant. And maybe the world does not truly belong to one or the other, but to the symbiosis between the two. The most important point to remember is that both types are equally important in their worth and contributions to society. Introverts should not be viewed as the “underdog” or disadvantaged because they are less outgoing or verbal. We have all heard of famous introverts such as Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, J. K. Rowling, Albert Einstein, Jane Austen, Thomas Jefferson, and Mahatma Gandhi, individuals who, through their quiet ways, have made a tremendous impact on human culture. 
  In this book, you will learn all about introverted and extroverted personalities, the right way to communicate, and the solutions to success today.
