  Rehabilitation therapy is a cornerstone of recovery for individuals who have experienced trauma, injury, or illness, providing a structured and supportive path to restoring physical, emotional, and social well-being. It is a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on helping individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life, tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. 
  At its essence, rehabilitation therapy seeks to address the diverse challenges that arise from trauma. Whether the trauma is physical, such as a broken bone or a neurological injury, or psychological, such as the aftermath of emotional distress, rehabilitation offers a comprehensive strategy for recovery. By emphasizing both short-term and long-term goals, it provides a clear framework for progress, helping individuals reclaim their ability to participate in daily activities and achieve a sense of normalcy. 
  One of the defining aspects of rehabilitation therapy is its reliance on collaboration. It brings together a team of professionals—physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and medical specialists—who work in unison to create personalized care plans. These plans are designed to address the specific needs of the individual, recognizing that no two recovery journeys are alike. Family members and caregivers also play a crucial role, providing support and encouragement that can significantly enhance the healing process.

  With our earliest utterances, we announce ourselves—and are recognized—as persons ready for social life. With our final ones, we mark where others must release us to death's embrace. In Bye Bye I Love You, linguist and author Michael Erard explores these phenomena, commonly called "first words" and "last words," uncovering their cultural, historical, and biological entanglements and honoring their deep private significance. Erard draws from personal, historical, and anthropological sources to provide a sense of the breadth of beliefs and practices about these phenomena across eras, religions, and cultures around the world. 
   
   
   
  What do babies' first words have in common? How do people really communicate at the end of life? In the first half of the book, Erard tells the story of first words in human development and evolution, and how the attention to children's early language—a modern phenomenon—arose. In the second half, he provides a groundbreaking overview of language at the end of life and the cultural conventions that surround it. Throughout he reveals the many parallels and asymmetries between first and last words and asks whether we might be able to use a linguistic understanding of end of life to discover what we truly want.

  The words of China's most famous political prisoner 
   
   
   
  In Xinjiang, the large northwest region of China, the government has imprisoned more than a million Uyghurs in reeducation camps. One of the incarcerated—whose sentence, unlike most others, has no end date—is Ilham Tohti, an intellectual and economist, a prolific writer, and formerly the host of a website, Uyghur Online. In 2014, Tohti was arrested; accused of advocating separatism, violence, and the overthrow of the Chinese government; subjected to a two-day trial; and sentenced to life. Nothing has been heard from him since. 
   
   
   
  Here are Tohti's own words, a collection of his plain-spoken calls for justice, scholarly explanations of the history of Xinjiang, and poignant personal reflections. While his courage and outspokenness about the plight of China's Muslim minorities is extraordinary, these essays sound a measured insistence on peace and just treatment for the Uyghurs. 
   
   
   
  Winner of the PEN/Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought while imprisoned, this book is the only way to hear from a man who has been called "a Uyghur Mandela."

  Islamic Golden Age - A History...

  The Islamic Golden Age, a period marked by extraordinary cultural, economic, and scientific prosperity, spanned roughly from the 8th to the 14th century. This era is often considered to have begun during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid (786–809), particularly with the establishment of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. At this time, Baghdad was the world's largest city, serving as the epicenter of intellectual activity. The House of Wisdom became a hub for scholars and polymaths from a diverse range of backgrounds who were tasked with gathering, translating, and preserving the classical knowledge of the ancient world. Key works from Greek, Syriac, Middle Persian, and Sanskrit texts were translated into Arabic and Syriac, with some later making their way into Latin and Hebrew. This immense intellectual undertaking played a significant role in preserving and expanding upon the knowledge that would later form the foundation of the Renaissance in Europe. 
  The decline of the Abbasid caliphate, culminating in the Mongol invasions and the Siege of Baghdad in 1258, is commonly regarded as marking the end of this flourishing period. However, the exact timeline of the Golden Age’s conclusion is debated among scholars. Some place the end around 1350, coinciding with the Timurid Renaissance, while others extend it until the 15th or even the 16th century, linking it with the rise of the Islamic Gunpowder Empires. 
  One of the driving forces behind the Islamic Golden Age was the emphasis placed on learning within Islamic teachings. The Quran and Hadiths, which contain numerous references to the pursuit of knowledge, were fundamental in motivating Muslims during this period to engage in scientific, philosophical, and literary endeavors.
