    In the shadows of history, some stories challenge our understanding of humanity. 'The Sterilization Experiments: The Barbaric Legacy of Carl Clauberg' is one such story. 
    The atrocities committed during the Nazi era are a dark stain on human history. Among the many horrors of this period were the medical experiments conducted on concentration camp prisoners by Nazi doctors. One of the most notorious of these doctors was Carl Clauberg, an expert in gynecology who was tasked with developing a method for sterilizing women quickly and inexpensively. Clauberg's experiments were carried out with a callous disregard for human life and dignity, resulting in immeasurable suffering for his victims. The legacy of these experiments continues to shape our understanding of medical ethics, human rights, and the dangers of unchecked power and ideology.  
    The Sterilization Experiments' is not just a recounting of facts; it is a solemn reminder of the depths to which humanity can sink and a call to remember the victims who endured unimaginable suffering. 
    This book is an essential read for those who seek to understand the true cost of hatred and the importance of vigilance against such evils. It challenges us to confront the past and ensure that such atrocities never happen again.

    What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it. 
     
    Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we're bored or feel uncomfortable. 
     
    NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital 'addiction', how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light. 
     
    Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence - unviable for most people - The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones ¬- and therefore the real people around us.
