Summary

On Travel presents a pyrotechnic display of cracking one-liners, cynical wordplay and comic observation, mining three thousand years of global wit and wisdom: from Pliny to Spinoza and from Albert Einstein to Aunt Augusta. Beyond the mad diversity of opinions and ideas, there is a gradually emerging consensus: that other people are crucial to our understanding of ourselves and that there is more than one right way to be. It also offers occasional practical tips to make the most of your trip, ranging from advice on choosing your companions to the importance of tethering your camel. And it proves that travel – far from being an indulgent escape – is real preparation for the journey through life.

  • The Deadly Rise of Anti-science - A Scientist's Warning - cover

    The Deadly Rise of Anti-science...

    During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others.  
     
    Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed. During that time, he was one of the most trusted voices on the pandemic and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for  
    his selfless work. He also became one of the main targets of anti-science rhetoric that gained traction through conservative news media.  
     
    In this eyewitness story of how the anti-vaccine movement grew into a dangerous and prominent anti-science element in American politics, Hotez describes the devastating impacts it has had on Americans’ health and lives. As a scientist who has endured antagonism from anti-vaxxers and been at the forefront of both essential scientific discovery and advocacy, Hotez is uniquely qualified to tell this story. By weaving his personal experiences together with information on how the anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world, Hotez opens readers’ eyes to the dangers of anti-science. He explains how anti-science became a major societal and lethal force: in the first years of the pandemic, more than 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly died despite the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Even as he paints a picture of the world under a shadow of aggressive ignorance, Hotez demonstrates his innate optimism, offering solutions for how to combat science denial and save lives in the process.

    Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? 
    When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital? 
    I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. 
    Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. 
    Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work. 
    Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.

    Workplace harassment is an issue that extends far beyond isolated incidents—it is a systemic problem that affects employees across industries and at all levels of employment. From overt discrimination and verbal abuse to more insidious forms of intimidation and exclusion, workplace harassment can take many shapes. Yet, despite growing awareness, countless cases go unreported, leaving victims to suffer in silence while companies turn a blind eye. The consequences of this widespread problem are severe, impacting not only individuals but entire organizations.  
      
    At its core, workplace harassment is about power and control. It is often perpetuated by those in positions of authority or influence, creating a culture where victims fear retaliation if they speak up. In some cases, even when complaints are filed, they are dismissed or mishandled by employers who prioritize their company’s reputation over the well-being of their employees. This failure to address harassment fosters a toxic work environment, leading to decreased productivity, high turnover rates, and lasting emotional damage for those affected.  
      
    While laws and regulations exist to protect workers from harassment, enforcement remains inconsistent. Many employees are unaware of their rights, and even those who do understand them may hesitate to take legal action due to the stigma attached to being labeled a troublemaker. Human resources departments, which are meant to serve as a safeguard against workplace misconduct, often struggle to balance their duty to employees with their loyalty to the company. As a result, the burden of addressing workplace harassment frequently falls on the victims themselves, leaving them with difficult choices that can impact their careers and mental health.
