Us After - A Memoir of Love and...

Rachel Zimmerman

When a state trooper appeared at Rachel Zimmerman’s door to report that her husband had jumped to his death off a nearby bridge, she fell to her knees, unable to fully absorb the news. How could the man she’d married, a devoted father and robotics professor at MIT, have committed such a violent act? How would she explain this to her young daughters? And could she have stopped him? 
 
A longtime journalist, she probed obsessively, believing answers would help her survive. She interviewed doctors, suicide researchers, and a man who jumped off the same bridge and lived. 
 
Us, After examines domestic devastation and resurgence, digging into the struggle between public and private selves, life’s shifting perspectives, the work of motherhood, and the secrets we keep. In this memoir, Zimmerman confronts the unimaginable and discovers the good in what remains. 
 
“This poignant, soul-baring memoir is truly one of the most moving accounts of grief, loss and resilience that I’ve read.”—Tara Parker-Pope, The Washington Post

Human Anatomy - A Comprehensive...

Ava Westwood

The human body is a remarkable and intricate system, made up of trillions of cells working in harmony to maintain life. Understanding its structure and function is essential for gaining insights into how the body operates and sustains itself. At the most basic level, the body is organized into four primary levels: cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Cells are the building blocks of life, each with specialized functions that contribute to the overall well-being of the organism. Tissues are formed from similar cells working together to perform specific functions. Organs are composed of various tissues that cooperate to carry out more complex tasks, and when organs work together in coordinated groups, they form systems that carry out essential bodily functions.
The organization of the body is designed for efficiency and survival, ensuring that all processes, from digestion to respiration, occur seamlessly. For example, the digestive system processes food and absorbs nutrients, the respiratory system ensures oxygen exchange, and the circulatory system distributes oxygen and nutrients to the cells while removing waste products. Each system is interconnected, and any disruption to one can affect the others, highlighting the importance of balance and coordination in maintaining health.
A key concept in understanding the body’s functioning is homeostasis, the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This balance is critical to the survival of cells and, by extension, the organism as a whole. The body’s systems are continuously monitoring and adjusting to changes in temperature, pH levels, fluid balance, and other internal factors to keep everything within optimal ranges. For instance, when body temperature rises, the body sweats to cool down, and when it drops, it shivers to generate heat. Similarly, the kidneys help regulate fluid balance by adjusting urine production according to hydration levels.

The Eye and I

Dr. Johan Zwaan

This book is a story book about the eye. After some 60 years in eye research and clinical work in ophthalmology there have been many instances, where I remember patients and their problems, a book I read or a place that I traveled. This book has 30 chapters and the only thing they have in common, other than all having the same writer is that all have something to do with the eye or eye associated structures such as the eye muscles.None of the chapters are meant to be clinical reports; all are stories and I have tried to keep the text understandable.Some chapters have pen drawings, but for a number I could not think of appropriate illustrations and they consist of just text. All are relatively short, easily read in an evening. Some feature bugs, blister beetles, fleas and lice or other microorganisms that might affect the eye or the tissues around it. Other chapters play away from the U.S., such as Saudi-Arabia, Grenada and Komodo Island.
