Medicine by the People: How Ordinary People Changed American Healthcare (A Norton Short)

"A grassroots history of American medicine that shows how regular people were architects of medical knowledge and care. Most histories of medicine center doctors: the standard-bearers of expertise and innovation. Yet these narratives underplay the role that ordinary people have, and always have had, on medicine and public health. In colonial America, Black people's knowledge led to smallpox inoculations, stymying that epidemic. Midwives, more plentiful than doctors, also delivered babies more successfully. The Black community of the early 1900s educated the public on preventing tuberculosis. In the last half of the twentieth century, the Young Lords fought for better sanitation and increased medical infrastructure in their East Harlem neighborhood and queer people pushed the federal government for HIV/AIDS research with their activism. Grassroots community care has always been at the cutting edge of medicine, a hidden tradition of meeting need with dignity. Medicine by the People reveals that the history of American healthcare is, at its heart, a struggle over who gets to tell the story of illness."

A-Z of Memory: 160 Essential Concepts

"The quest to understand how memory works and how it fails remains a cornerstone of both psychology and neuroscience; however, defining memory is not easy. At a higher level, memory is sometimes seen as a psychological function for the preservation of information, while other definitions focus on remembering. In this innovative book, John P. Aggleton delves into the many definitions and attributes that constitute memory. He guides the listener through over 160 entries on a wide range of topics, including aging, repression, dementia, and working memory. Each entry explores the various psychological and biological elements of memory. This guide will serve as an overview and introductory resource for students and scholars involved in memory studies and memory research, as well as practitioners working with sufferers of memory disorders. It will also be of great interest to anyone interested in the utterly remarkable memory skills we all possess."

From Silence to Sinai: A Guided Tour of Exodus

"What adjectives would you use to describe the Bible? Inspired. Amazing. Unique. Authoritative. Perfect. Pure. Life-changing. Those descriptions are all deserved. Your pastors and parents and Sunday School teachers were right. There's no book like God's Book. Here's another adjective: confusing. The Bible can be confusing, especially certain parts of the Old Testament. Moments after coming across something inspiring and encouraging, you'll read something that makes you wonder, What is even happening right now!? The book of Exodus is no exception. This sequel to Genesis begins with God's surprising silence. What a stark contrast to Genesis, where God's words set everything in motion. It then tells the story of God's miraculous liberation of his people, complete with frogs falling from the sky and life-saving blood being painted over doorways. Finally, for the last half of the book, the action slows down as the people of God gather at the mountain of God to receive the Law of God in order to engage in the worship of God. From silence to Sinai, that's the story of Exodus. To understand it all, most of us will need a guide. We'll need some help. That's what From Silence to Sinai is for. Alex Duke walks readers through the book of Exodus to show that nothing in God's story is wasted--not the silence, not the ten signs, and not even the confusing parts. In Exodus, God is not absent, random, or unclear. He is revealing himself, redeeming his people, and teaching them how to live in his presence."

The World Made Right: Finding Confident Hope in the Book of Revelation

"Read by the author. Are we living in the end times--and are you exhausted by the question itself? You're not alone. Ever since Jesus announced, 'Behold, I am coming soon!'--every generation has expected a firework show. But with each round of apocalyptic speculation, believers have grown more anxious, confused, and disillusioned. In The World Made Right, pastor Michael Rowntree walks us through every chapter of Revelation, dialing down the hype--and zeroing in on Jesus. If the Gospels reveal Christ's humiliation, no book displays His exaltation more clearly than Revelation. From the right hand of the Father, Jesus unveils God's plan for the end of the age and the beginning of a world made right. This exalted vision of Jesus--enthroned, victorious, and near--is the heartbeat of The World Made Right. Rowntree blends personal stories with theological clarity, drawing more from Scripture and scholars than the latest headline. He aims less to win arguments than to restore confidence in God's inspiring solution to beastly governments, godless culture, human depravity--and the spiritual forces behind them. If you've been torched by end-times mania or left bewildered by John's imagination, this book endeavors not only to make sense of Revelation--but also, to make sense of our world. Figures can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download."

It’s a battle of epic proportions as Deborah rallies her army, and the kids and their trusty dog are swept up in the action even as they try to solve the secret of the scroll. Meanwhile, in the present day, it seems like someone is trying to sabotage Great-Uncle Solomon’s museum exhibit and maybe even steal the ancient map. Who is the mysterious figure known only as The Collector, and can the kids uncover their identity before it’s too late?

"Our lives are shaped by contradictions. Competing voices tell us who to be, what to want, and how to live. The result? A fragmented moral imagination. We're handed a thousand broken messages and left to cobble together something resembling a life. But instead of clarity, we get exhaustion. Instead of wisdom, we get anxiety.

In To Live Well, Alan Noble shows you how you can not only endure but flourish in life. Through exploring the seven virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, faith, hope, and love, you'll learn how to choose gracefully, act justly, suffer steadfastly, live moderately, believe soundly, hope resolutely, and love rightly.

The Secret History

"A scandalous and vengeful cult favorite of the Byzantine Empire. Procopius held a position of esteem in Justinian’s empire as an advisor to the military commander Belisarius. He even wrote the official histories of Justinian’s military conquests, lauding both the emperor and his commander. But secretly… Procopius hated them both, so he wrote Anecdota, later known as Secret History, in private. Published a thousand years after it was written, Secret History labels Justinian as a demonic figure and a despot and takes huge shots at him, Belisarius, and both of their wives, Theodora and Antonina. This book was suppressed and hidden for hundreds of years because of its capacity to throw the whole empire into disarray, but it was eventually found in its full form in the Vatican Library and then published in 1623. Filled with explosive revelations and the smart and sardonic voice of Procopius, Secret History will appeal equally to armchair historians and those just looking for a Byzantine way to throw an insult."
