  Americans knew polio as the "summer plague." In countries further North, however, the virus arrived later in the year. It was described by one writer as "the autumn ghost." 
   
   
   
  Intensive care units and mechanical ventilation are the crucial foundation of modern medical care: without them, the appalling death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic would be even higher. In The Autumn Ghost, Dr. Hannah Wunsch traces the origins of these two innovations back to a polio epidemic in the autumn of 1952. Drawing together testimony from doctors, nurses, medical students, and patients, Wunsch relates a gripping tale of an epidemic that changed the world. 
   
   
   
  Wunsch tells the true story of how insiders and iconoclasts came together in one overwhelmed hospital in Copenhagen to save the lives of many polio patients dying of respiratory failure. Their radical advances in care marked a turning point in the treatment of patients around the world—from the rise of life support and the creation of intensive care units to the evolution of rehabilitation medicine. 
   
   
   
  The Autumn Ghost will leave listeners in awe of the courage of those who battled the polio epidemic, and grateful for the modern medical care they pioneered.

  In 1976, the Teton Dam collapsed, unleashing a wall of water that ravaged eastern Idaho and shattered the publics trust in American infrastructure. Engineers, historians, and survivors have asked the same question: Why did it fail? For decades, the disaster has been reduced to a cautionary tale, a grim case study, a footnote in engineering textbooks. But what if the real story is more complicated than we have ever been told?Failure and Fortitude is a meticulously researched, vividly written account of the Teton Dams rise and ruin. It reconstructs the hours that changed everything and the decisions behind the failure. Failure and Fortitude also recounts the remarkable story of the communities who refused to be defined by devastation - neighbors who dug each other out, rebuilt from mud and memory, and proved that resilience can be as powerful as any flood. This is not just a story of seepage and soil mechanics, but of faith and ambition, bureaucracy and blind spots, and the razor-thin line between confidence and catastrophe.

  Sleep better with hypnosis

  Who is this hypnosis for:- If you have difficulty falling asleep- or you wake up frequently over the night- or your sleep is simply not restful enough- or you can sleep only with medication and would like a more natural solution… this hypnosis will help.This hypnosis is an easy, gentle way to prepare for falling asleep. At the same time, it will help you experience a deep, restful, regenerating sleep.How it works:So many of us are affected these days by sleeping troubles.Unfortunately, this is bound to be: our world is fast, overloaded with information and constantly stimulated by screens. Thus, our brains are overly activated and less acquainted with the state of non-activity.This "monkey mind" is what keeps us away from a good sleep. Over the night, our brains keep on being busy solving problems. Moreover, our bodies cannot have a good, regenerative rest either – did you notice how an agitated mind matches and agitated body?Fortunately, methods based on hypnosis are very effective.While in themselves, they are very relaxing (4 time stronger than sleep), when specific suggestions for taking a break from thoughts and slipping into a profound, regenerative sleep are added, our mind and body finally gets the break it needs.This is what this 28 min hypnosis does.Play it after you have already laid down in bed and found a comfortable position so that you can easily fall asleep during it or after it ends.My recommendation is to use it for 3 days in a row and feel if it works for you. If it does, continue. The more you do it, the easier it will become for you to relax and fall asleep.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiMedical doctor · Coach for mental self-regulation · HypnotherapistInner stability for stress, anxiety and personal crises
