Story
On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, asserting that the Constitution did not confer the right to abortion. This ruling, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, was the culmination of a half-century of pro-life activism promoting the idea that fetuses are people and therefore entitled to the rights and protections that the Constitution guarantees. But it was also the product of a much longer history of archaic ideas about the relationship between pregnant people and the fetuses they carry.

Story
BEWUSSTSEIN IST ALLES - OHNE BEWUSSTSEIN IST ALLES NICHTS. Dieses Hörbuch führt Sie durch die Geschichte der Medizin, angefangen beim heiligen Tempelschlaf der Antike - wo das Körper - Seele - Geist Prinzip noch vorhanden war - bis hin zum Momentum der Trennung und weiter zu den ganzheitlichen Bestrebungen der heutigen Zeit. Die faszinierendste neue Wissenschaftsdisziplin ist die Psychoneuroimmunologie. Erstmals wird auf dem Sektor der modernen Medizin die geistig-seelische Dimension miteinbezogen und ernsthaft erforscht. Es kann keinen Zweifel mehr geben, dass der Geist auf den Körper einwirkt.

Story
It’s hard today to remember how recently cancer was a silent killer, a dreaded disease about which people rarely spoke in public. In hospitals and doctors’ offices, conversations about malignancy were hushed and hope was limited. In this deeply researched book, Elaine Schattner reveals a sea change—from before 1900 to the present day—in how ordinary people talk about cancer. From Whispers to Shouts examines public perception of cancer through stories in newspapers and magazines, social media, and popular culture.

Pubblicato sotto forma di libello, nel 1727, "The Friendly Daemon, Or, the Generous Apparition" riporta lo scambio epistolare fra Duncan Campbell - guarito dall'epilessia per il fortuito intervento di un angelo custode - e il suo medico, a cui viene chiesto un parere professionale su quanto avvenuto. L'uomo, esortato a dire la propria, finirà col raccontare altri eventi simili, esibendosi poi in un’erudita disamina di tutte le tecniche più strane utilizzate per guarire dai mali peggiori.

Story
Quando Jennifer Doudna ainda cursava a sexta série, encontrou em sua cama um exemplar de A dupla hélice, de James Watson, deixado por seu pai. Avançando pelas páginas, Doudna ficou fascinada com os bastidores da competição científica pela descoberta dos tijolinhos que constroem a vida. Motivada pela paixão de entender o funcionamento da natureza e por transformar descobertas em invenções práticas, Doudna ajudaria a realizar aquilo que o próprio James Watson, um dos descobridores da estrutura do DNA, classificara como o próximo avanço científico mais importante da biologia.

Story
Em 1918, um novo vírus de influenza, até então restrito às aves, passou a se manifestar também em humanos. Um ano mais tarde, o saldo era de pelo menos 100 mil mortos daquela que ficaria conhecida na história como gripe espanhola, marcando o primeiro grande embate entre a ciência e uma pandemia. Em apenas dois anos o vírus matou mais pessoas do que a Aids em todo o mundo ao longo dos 24 anos desde a sua descoberta, e mais pessoas em um ano do que a peste negra ao longo de um século.
