  Resetting the Alarm - PTSD The...

  Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not a sign of weakness. It is a real condition rooted in how the nervous system responds to threat, trauma, and prolonged stress. 
  This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate, and evidence-informed explanation of PTSD through the lens of nervous system physiology. Designed for individuals with PTSD, their loved ones, clinicians, veterans, first responders, and anyone seeking understanding, it explains why symptoms such as hyperarousal, intrusive memories, emotional numbing, sleep disturbance, and physical tension can persist long after the original trauma has passed. 
  Drawing on clinical experience and current scientific understanding, the audiobook explores how trauma can lead to persistent activation of the body’s stress response system. These symptoms are described as real, involuntary, and biologically driven — protective in origin, not signs of personal failure or psychological weakness. 
  Current management approaches are discussed, including trauma-focused psychological therapies, medication, lifestyle strategies, and emerging biological interventions aimed at calming the nervous system. One such intervention explored is the stellate ganglion block (SGB), a targeted procedure acting on the sympathetic nervous system that has shown promising results in some individuals with PTSD, particularly in reducing hyperarousal, sleep disruption, and anxiety symptoms. 
  SGB is presented cautiously and responsibly — as a potential adjunct, not a cure. Responses vary between individuals, long-term data are still evolving, and recovery from PTSD is often gradual, non-linear, and multi-faceted. The aim of this audiobook is to reduce shame, provide clarity, set realistic expectations, and support informed conversations with healthcare providers. 
  This audiobook is for educational purposes only and does not replace personalised medical or psychological assessment or treatment.

  America’s Most Notorious Fires:...

  It had taken about 40 years for Chicago to grow from a small settlement of about 300 people into a thriving metropolis with a population of 300,000, but in just two days in 1871, much of that progress was burned to the ground. In arguably the most famous fire in American history, a blaze in the southwestern section of Chicago began to burn out of control on the night of October 8, 1871. Thanks to The Chicago Tribune, the fire has been apocryphally credited to a cow kicking over a lantern in Mrs. Catherine O’Leary’s barn, and though that was not true, the rumor dogged Mrs. O’Leary to the grave. Of course, the cause of the fire didn’t matter terribly much to the people who lost their lives or their property in the blaze. Thanks to dry conditions, wind, and wooden buildings, firefighters were never actually able to stop the fire, which burned itself out only after it spent nearly two whole days incinerating several square miles of Chicago. 
  Overshadowed by the much better covered and publicized Great Chicago Fire that occurred on the very same evening, the fire that started in the Wisconsin logging town of Peshtigo generated a firestorm unlike anything in American history. In addition to destroying a wide swath of land, it killed at least 1,500 people and possibly as many as 2,500, several times more than the number of casualties in Chicago.  
  On April 18, 1906, most of the residents of the city of San Francisco were sound asleep when the ground started to shake around 5:15 a.m., but what started as fairly soft tremors turned into a violent shaking in all directions. Unfortunately for San Franciscans, the worst was yet to come. During the earthquake, the city’s gas mains and water mains were ruptured, which had the effects of starting a number of fires and preventing the residents from being equipped to fight them.

  The Hidden Plague - A Holistic...

  Have you been plagued with boils, cysts, ingrown hairs, and acne-like bumps that take months to resolve, leave embarrassing scars, and cause considerable pain? Have you been to the doctor, only to leave with a prescription for antibiotics, few answers, and little to no hope? Hidradenitis supprativa (HS) is a poorly understood skin condition that is believed to affect nearly 12 million people in the US alone. Only a small fraction of those affected have been properly diagnosed, leaving many others to suffer in silence or pursue ill-advised conventional treatment methods that fail to address the cause of this painful condition. Tara Grant, a twenty-year sufferer of HS, has become an underground legend to her Internet community of HS victims by presenting a methodical, self-tested action plan to heal naturally. The centerpiece of her holistic approach rests on the understanding that HS is an autoimmune disorder caused by leaky gut syndrome. With a few simple dietary changes that eliminate certain trigger' foods, you can heal your gut, restore your skin, reclaim your health, and rid yourself of HS symptoms forever. That means no antibiotics, no experimental surgeries, and no more pain, suffering, or confusion. 
  You will learn to adopt a big picture perspective about disease and dysfunction, and understand how autoimmunity (the body attacking itself in an adverse manner) represents the root cause of many frustrating chronic health conditions. By modifying your diet and other lifestyle habits, you can break free from the suffering, frustration and uncertainty that seems to go hand in hand with autoimmune conditions and skin conditions like HS in particular. The Hidden Plague is a fabulous and comprehensive resource for not just HS specifically, but many other related inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

  For readers of David Harvey and Thomas Piketty comes a new introduction to Marx’s Capital from the author of the internationally bestselling book Slow Down. 
   
  The follow-up to his global bestseller Slow Down and a new introduction to Marx's Capital, Capital From Zero is a reading guide, a manifesto, a revision, and a reclamation of Marx's foundational work of political theory. Building on his signature argument of "degrowth communism", Saito's introduction brings Capital squarely into the 21st century, offering a uniquely non-Western, non-dogmatic, and eco-socialist reading of the famous text. 
   
  Saito is a singular intellect with an essential and innovative point of view—a fresh new voice in Marxist theory who will sit alongside David Harvey and Thomas Piketty in educating and guiding the next generation of radical intellectuals. The material reconstructs Marx’s Capital from a totally new perspective based on more recent research findings, liberating Marx from old dogmas of Soviet socialism and aiming to rekindle our ability to envision a more equal and sustainable society beyond capitalism.

  Saints of Feather and Fang - How...

  From sheepdogs to wombats to coyotes to jellyfish, animals serve important biological roles in the world. But those who love animals know there's more. We know our connection to other creatures is more than fur, scale, or feather deep. 
   
   
   
  In Saints of Feather and Fang, writer and lifelong animal lover Caryn Rivadeneira looks at the ways that animals—from the pets who share our homes to the mysterious creatures of the deep—serve as spiritual guides for our hearts, minds, and souls. 
   
   
   
  Christian scripture teems with mammals, birds, and reptiles, and research on animals' sensory responses suggests that we not only care for our beloved animals but they, at times, care for us. A therapy pony who visits stroke victims, a rescued pit bull who shows restraint, hedgehogs that scurry down highways made just for them: these stories offer entrée to tender, whimsical, and deeply theological reflection on creaturely delight, instinct, curiosity, adaptation, fear, and awe. In them we discover and connect with the God who beckons, rescues, and shelters us with stretched-out wings.
