  In late 2019, Dennis Oya's persistent cough was just the beginning of a harrowing tale of neglect and systemic failure in a Washington prison. Diagnosed eighteen months later with tuberculosis (TB), Oya's case sparked one of the largest prison TB outbreaks in decades, affecting over 3,000 contacts. This outbreak, and others like it, exposes the glaring weaknesses in prison healthcare systems. 
   
   
   
  In Outbreak Behind Bars, Homer Venters reveals the grim realities of how communicable diseases thrive in the overcrowded, unsanitary conditions of correctional facilities. From TB to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), these infections spread rapidly due to systemic neglect and inadequate medical responses. The book highlights the stories of those who suffered, the failures in health care provision, and offers specific guidance for public health professionals in conducting investigations and facility inspections during outbreaks behind bars. 
   
   
   
  With firsthand accounts and expert analysis, this book illustrates the urgent need for reform in prison health care to protect incarcerated people and the wider community. Outbreak Behind Bars is a crucial listen for anyone concerned about justice, public health, and the overlooked plight of incarcerated people, especially students, faculty, and professionals in the field of public health.

  Nurturing - The Supportive...

  Nurturing growth is a fundamental aspect of both personal and collective development. It is the process of creating an environment where individuals can flourish, reach their full potential, and thrive. The journey of growth involves not only the pursuit of external success but also the cultivation of inner strength, self-awareness, and a deep understanding of one’s purpose. By providing the right kind of support, encouragement, and guidance, it becomes possible to foster an atmosphere where growth is not only achievable but sustainable. 
  At its core, nurturing growth is about offering the necessary resources and fostering the right mindset for individuals to flourish. Growth is not something that happens by accident; it requires conscious effort and dedication. It involves creating the conditions that allow for personal transformation, whether that’s emotional, mental, or spiritual. The importance of growth is multifaceted; it helps individuals develop resilience, adapt to challenges, and become more effective in their endeavors. Encouragement plays a pivotal role in this process, as it can serve as a driving force, helping individuals overcome self-doubt, fear, and obstacles along their journey. 
  Understanding development and flourishing is crucial in the context of nurturing growth. Development refers to the continuous process of improvement, whether in skills, knowledge, or emotional well-being. It’s about evolving into a more capable version of oneself, and it’s a dynamic process that often requires introspection, learning, and self-compassion. Flourishing, on the other hand, is the state of thriving—living a life full of purpose, joy, and fulfillment. It represents not just the absence of difficulties but the active presence of well-being and meaning in life.

  College is a high-stakes game, according to authors Ned Scott Laff and Scott Carlson, but students can learn how to win it. Hacking College offers college advisors, faculty, and staff in student and academic affairs a groundbreaking guide to rethinking higher education so that students can succeed in an increasingly complex world. Drawing from extensive research and real student experiences, this essential book exposes the hidden challenges and bureaucratic traps that undermine student success, from convoluted transfer processes to a single-minded emphasis on majors. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter provides strategies to help advisors lead students to tailor their education to their aspirations. Through vivid case studies, Laff and Carlson advocate for a proactive approach to education—encouraging students to "hack" their college experience by crafting a personalized field of study. This method challenges the traditional focus on declaring a major and empowers students to link their personal interests with academic pursuits so that their education aligns with future career and life goals. Enriched with insights on how to find underutilized institutional resources and foster meaningful mentor relationships, Hacking College encourages students, educators, and institutions to transform passive educational experiences into dynamic journeys of discovery and self-fulfillment.

  Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee -...

  The history of the American West is woven with the stories of lands that were once home to indigenous peoples whose lives were irrevocably transformed by the arrival of European settlers. The beginning of this contact was marked by curiosity, fear, and misunderstanding, as both sides struggled to comprehend the profound differences in their cultures and ways of life. Initially, this period was characterized by cautious encounters where indigenous communities and the newcomers exchanged gifts, ideas, and sometimes even skills. However, as explorers, traders, and missionaries increasingly set foot in native territories, the dynamics began to shift dramatically. 
  For many Native tribes, these early interactions brought both opportunity and challenge. The appearance of strangers from across the vast and mysterious ocean introduced new technologies and worldviews that were entirely foreign to the indigenous people. The initial exchange was not always violent, yet it set in motion a gradual process of disruption. Encounters with the newcomers soon revealed differences in attitudes toward land ownership and resource management. Where Native tribes had long held a spiritual connection to the land, considering it a shared, communal resource, European settlers arrived with the concept of individual property rights, leading to disputes and tensions that would only grow over time. 
  As the settlers journeyed further into the heart of the West, their presence ignited both awe and anxiety among the Native populations. The natural beauty and abundance of the land captured the imaginations of many settlers, yet it also raised concerns among indigenous communities about the lasting impact on the ecosystems and the delicate balance that had sustained them for generations.
