"Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. 'It doesn't work. It's a dewormer. Prescribe or promote it and you'll be called a right-wing quack, be banned from social media, or lose your license to practice medicine.' And yet, [Kory posits that] entire countries wiped out the virus with it, and more than ninety-five studies now show it to be unequivocally effective in preventing and treating COVID-19. If it didn't work, why was there a coordinated global campaign to cancel it? What's the truth about this decades-old, Nobel Prize-winning medication? [This book] is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory and his crusade to recommend [what he believes to be] a safe, inexpensive, generic medicine as the key to ending the pandemic"--

Ryan Hartwig may be one of the most important figures in American history. Hired by Cognizant as a content moderator for Facebook, Ryan Hartwig began by keeping gruesome images of cartel violence in Mexico off the platform. This seemed like a righteous mission and yet, as time went by, it became clear the Facebook bosses saw an even bigger threat, Americans of a different political viewpoint. Ryan watched in horror as Facebook made a monumental shift after the 2016 elections, hiring thousands of US-based content moderators with one mission, to favor leftist viewpoints while suppressing the speech of conservatives. Ryan describes more than forty examples of such behavior, and it will radically rewrite your understanding of the past four years as you learn how the news regarding prominent individuals like Greta Thunberg, Alyssa Milano, and Don Lemon was censored to remove legitimate criticism of them. Viral videos of Trump supporters being attacked were removed from the platform, and moderators were told to look for signs of hate speech in Trumps State of the Union addresses, while at the same time allowing vicious attacks against police, pro-lifers, and straight white males. As Americas de-facto town square, Facebook was systematically suppressing free speech, which has traditionally been our countrys greatest weapon to combat extremism from either side. Ryan knew he had to take action, and contacted Project Veritas, eventually filming many of these actions with a hidden camera for the world to see. We need to stand up against tech tyranny and corporations that attempt to control our conversations, our news, and our political narratives. ReadingBehind the Mask of Facebook:A Whistleblower's Shocking Story of Big Tech Bias and Censorship is the first step to learning how to confront and defeat this tyranny.

Here Julie Bruton-Seal and Matthew Seal have beautifully combined selections from John Parkinson classic book from 1640 with their own modern commentary on how each plant is used today to create a truly one-of-a-kind, comprehensive collection of herbal information old and new.Herbalist to King Charles I, John Parkinson (1567?1650) was a master apothecary, herbalist, and gardener. Famous in his own lifetime for his influential books, his magnum opus, the Theatrum Botanicum, was published in 1640 and ran to 1,766 large pages. The sheer scope and size was perhaps to prove the book's downfall, because while it was much revered?and plagiarized?it was never reprinted and, centuries later, has attained the status of an extremely rare and valuable book.Parkinson was writing at a time when Western herbalism was at its zenith, and his skills as a gardener (from his grounds in Covent Garden) combined perfectly with his passion for science, observation, and historical scholarship. This modern edition features:Agrimony & Hemp AgrimonyBlackthorn, Bugle, and BurnetDaisies and DandelionGoldenrod, Round Ivy, and GroundselLiquourice and LovageMarjoram, Milk Thistle, and MintPimpernel and PoppiesSeaweed and SorrelSt. John's Wort and StrawberryTomato and TribulusWoodruff and YarrowAnd much more!Parkinson's clear and lively description of a chosen plant's virtues or healing properties side-by-side with the editor's notes?including copious herbal recipes?make this the perfect book for students and practitioners of herbalism, historians, and gardeners, all of whom will welcome this restoration of Parkinson's lost classic.

A celebration of simple living skills. Not too long ago, handwork skills such as sewing a quilt, crocheting a washcloth, or embroidering a pillowcase were handed down from one generation to the next. Candle- and soap-making, blacksmithing, basket weaving, natural yarn dying, and repurposing were all time-honored traditions that were essential to the farm's microeconomy and long-term success. While many of these traditional skills have been lost to the convenience of today's modern economy, they are still alive and thriving among America's farmers. The FarmMade Essential Skills Book showcases fifty authentic projects from farms all over the country. Hailing from New England, the Deep South, the Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest, each farm-made project represents its region's unique array of raw materials and end products.

The Rise and Fall of the World's Most Powerful Restaurant Critic and His Battle with Severe, Debilitating Depression From the early 1980s to the mid-1990s, Bryan Miller was a household name among restaurant goers in the greater New York City area and beyond as the restaurant critic for theNew York Times, as well as the author of numerous books, a public speaker, and a radio and television commentator. Over ten years as a columnist, he dined out more than five thousand times in the United States and abroad, from haute to humble. The Wine Spectator, in a front-page profile, declared Miller ';the most powerful restaurant critic in America.' And for much of that time, he wanted to die.Dining in the Dark chronicles Miller's battle with Bipolar II disorder, also known as depression, which ruined his life, professionally and personally. Depression was directly responsible for his surrendering theNew York Times restaurant column and, shortly thereafter, leaving the paper altogether. Everything he had worked for so diligently, rising from cub reporter to big-city columnist in less than a decade, vanished. In the ensuing years, unable to work, he lost his home, his life savings, two wonderful wives, the chance to have a family, and numerous friends and colleagues. He became increasingly reclusive; like many victims of serious depression, he reached the point where he was afraid to answer the phone. Pile on a brain tumor, electroshock therapy, a near-fatal bout with Lyme disease, accidental drug overdoses (he was once carried out of the newsroom on a gurney), and you have a life in shambles.Dining in the Dark tells the story of Miller's battle, but it also brings hope by sharing his journey to coping with, and finally conquering, his depression. The coping mechanisms he employed in order to get through the day will be of benefit to those in need of a helping hand. Dining in the Dark is philosophical, inspirational, educational, and even humorous at times. And, of course, there are lots of inside-the-New York Times anecdotes, as well as lots of food, wine, travel, and celebrity.

How can we protect our kids onlineand teach them to protect themselves? Do you feel overwhelmed with technology in your home? Do headlines about this app or that website make you feel anxious and undecided as a parent? Do you get advice from many expertsbut still feel unclear on what to do? This book unpacks the ';3 Ms' of parenting in the digital age, a proven approach used with thousands of parents through the work of Digital Respons-Ability and its founder, Carrie Rogers-Whitehead.

Not only were parents not informed enough around technology, they also didn't understand child developmental stages. Parents' expectations for their children were unrealistic because they didn't know how online responsibility changes at different ages, as children's brains change. From this realization, Carrie developed the 3 Msthree approaches to digital parenting, based on specific age ranges: Model (ages 0-8)Manage (ages 8-13)Monitor (ages 13-18) By teaching parents how to change their approach to digital responsibility based on the developmental stage of their child, she has seen significant success in fostering happier and healthier relationships between parents and kids, as well as safer tech use by kids at all ages. This book presents Carrie's approach in an accessible, easy-to-implement manner, giving all parents the opportunity to develop better tech use in their own homes and families, and to parent confidently and without fear.

Discover the history of one of the most exciting eras in the history of the United States and some of its most fascinating characters . . . the mountain men! They were the first white men to penetrate the continent, and they soon lost their identity, becoming something completely new and different. The popular legends of the mountain men were generated from a surprisingly short period in American history. From the first forays up the Missouri River in the early 1800s to the final Rendezvous at Horse Creek in 1840, fewer than forty years had passed. The legends were based on tales of incredible survival against the odds. Harsh winter conditions, dangerous terrain, and the constant threat of Indian encounters all challenged the mountain men. Some stories, like that of John Colter, who is thought to be the fist white man to have explored what is now Yellowstone National Park, were derided as being far-fetched. In order to survive, the mountain man had to be a superb marksman, a skilled horseman, and a trapper, and one who knew about nature and the seasons. As they sought ever more distant trapping grounds, the mountain men carved out a path that made the crossing of the American continent a reality rather than a dream. The demand for beaver fur has long since died out, but the tracks of the mountain men are still there to be seen.Through this detailed and comprehensively illustrated book, The Lives of Mountain Men brings us their stories!

Focus on Abortion: Americans Share Their Storiesintroduces the often-missing and most important voices in the abortion conversation: the voices of those who have experienced abortion. This projectprovides a platform for these voices to be heard.Sixty-two individuals are featured. They have had an abortion or are close to the abortion experience, including partners, friends, relatives, counselors, and professionals who provide abortion care. Each person is represented by a photographic portrait and a first-person narrative.The storytellers come from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and generations. They live in urban, suburban and rural areas throughout America. Together they will provide a broad, complex and poignant picture of abortion in our country.These nuanced stories have the potential to mitigate the profound stigma that surrounds abortion. Few people talk about their abortions so many will be surprised to learn that one out of four women in the US will have an abortion during their reproductive years.These narratives touch on the complex circumstances leading up to the decision to end a pregnancy, the persons ability to access healthcare, and life after having had an abortion.Most importantly, these stories have the potential to widen public understanding of abortion. We learned from the Civil Rights and Gay Rights movements that deep-seated beliefs can evolve once people give voice to their personal stories.

';A breezy, tantalizing view of the woman who, through wiles and a complete lack of scruples, briefly transcended the role of presidential mistressand may have paid for it with her life.'The New York Times John F. Kennedy said he needed sex every three days or he got a headache. In the White House, he never had a headache. Kennedy met Mary Pinchot in 1935, when he was eighteen and she was sixteen. Twenty years later, when she was living in Virginia and married to Cord Meyer, a high-ranking CIA official, she was Jack and Jackie Kennedy's next-door neighbor. In 1962, she was an artist, divorced, living in Washingtonand Kennedy's first serious romance. Mary Pinchot Meyer was more than a bedmate. She was Kennedy's beacon light: his sole female adviser, spending mornings in the Oval Office, and, at night, discussing issues. After the 1964 election, Kennedy said, he would divorce Jackie and marry her. After the assassination, Mary didn't believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, and she shared that view, loudly and often, in Washington's most elite circles. Her ex-husband urged her to be silent, but when the report of the Warren Commission was released, she was even more loudly critical. On October 10, 1964, two days before her forty-forth birthday, as she walked in Georgetown, a man shot her in the head and the heart. That night, Marys best friend called her sister. ';Mary had a diary,' she said. ';Get it.' The diary was filled with sketches, notes for paintingsand ten pages about an affair with an unnamed lover. Her sister burned it. In JFK and Mary Meyer: A Love Story, Jesse Kornbluth recreates the diary Mary might have written. Working from a timeline of Kennedy's presidency and every documented account of their public relationship, he has written a high-octane thriller that tracks this secret, doomed romanceand invites readers to solve Mary's murder.

The medical establishment could only help manage his condition, but not diagnose or cure him. Doing her own research and documenting everything Knute ate and his reactions to certain foods, she came across two ubiquitous food additives. Diving deeper, she learned how Calcium ATPase, a fundamental regulator of intercellular calcium, is negatively impacted, not only by these additives, but by a torrent of other inhibitors. Knute's health is a testament to Brunde's discoveries, and The Calcium Connection gives readers a front-row seat to understanding how to maintain optimized cellular health.
