Tuberculosis is an ancient disease, but it's not a disease of history. With more than a million victims every year - more than any other disease, including malaria - and antibiotic resistance now found in every country worldwide, tuberculosis is once again proving itself to be one of the smartest killers humanity has ever faced. But it's hardly surprising considering how long it's had to hone its skills. Forty-thousand years ago, our ancestors set off from the cradle of civilisation on their journey towards populating the planet. Tuberculosis hitched a lift and came with us, and it's been there ever since; waiting, watching, and learning. In The Robber of Youth, Kathryn Lougheed, a former TB research scientist, tells the story of how tuberculosis and humanity have grown up together, with each being shaped by the other in more ways than you could imagine. This relationship between man and microbe has spanned many millennia and has left its mark on both species. We can see evidence of its constant shadow in our genes; in the bones of the ancient dead; in art, music and literature. Tuberculosis has shaped societies -- and it continues to do so today.The organism responsible for TB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has had plenty of time to adapt to its chosen habitat - human lungs - and has learnt through natural selection to be an almost perfect pathogen. Using our own immune cells as a Trojan Horse to aid its spread, it's come up with clever ways to avoid being killed by antibiotics. But patience has been its biggest lesson -- the bacterium can enter into a latent state when times are tough, only to come back to life when a host's immune system can no longer put up a fight. Today, more than one million people die of the disease every year and around one-third of the world's population are believed to be infected. That's more than two billion people. Throw in the compounding problems of drug resistance, the HIV epidemic and poverty, and it's clear that tuberculosis remains one of the most serious problems in world medicine. The Robber of Youth follows the history of TB through the ages, from its time as an infection of hunter-gatherers to the first human villages, which set it up with everything it needed to become the monstrous disease it is today, through to the perils of industrialisation and urbanisation. It goes on to look at the latest research in fighting the disease, with stories of modern scientific research, interviews doctors on the frontline treating the disease, and the personal experiences of those affected by TB.

In this engrossing and informative book, National Public Radio commentator Tim Brookes conducts a passionate inquest into the origins and treatment of asthma. His motives are both journalistic -- some 12 million Americans have asthma -- and personal: Brookes himself is asthmatic and nearly died from an attack. Catching My Breath records Brooke's mystifying and sometimes infuriating encounters with doctors, insurance companies, and homeopathic healers. He peers into a living human lung, undergoes homeopathic injections of silver and tobacco leaf in his back and neck, and even sees a psychic to ask otherworldly spirits about the causes of asthma. He surveys the dubious history of treatments (which include the use of decayed flesh and cockroach intestines) and grapples with an insurance company that agrees to cover him only if he doesn't get sick. A thoroughly unconventional exploration of illness from a patient's point of view, Catching My Breath is also the first book to give serious attention to the social roots of asthma, and raises profound questions about our attitudes toward illness in general.

I came to my own rescue And inked my emotions. Penning my feelings Is like playing music In wavelengths, Connected with notes, Creating a melody, Staying in tune with my soul. From time to time, we all experience difficulties that seem to consume our lives. Yet at some point, our struggles can become a source of strength that motivates us to move forward. In a debut collection of poetry, Stephanie Chakiryan reflects on her real-life experiences and the many mountains she has climbed during her personal journey—some which remain constant today. Within her varied poems, Stephanie explores the complex emotions that accompanied her grief after her mother passed away, the battles she has fought within her soul, the anxiety that seemingly appears out of nowhere, the art of penning poetry, the strength she has found in the battles she has faced, and much more. Catching My Breath is a volume of inspirational free verse that breathes hope, love, and light into the world.

For Judd, time cannot move fast enough. Time to head to college…time to leave this town…time to set aside all the painful memories that come along with it. With the clock ticking, he heads off with his friends to help on a summer job at the lake with no expectation of having a good time, but his whole world is overturned when he sees her. Is she the one piece of the puzzle that has been missing? Can she breathe new life into him? Unfortunately, past differences, heartache and loss have taught him that good things never last. Just when life is going in the right direction, everything always seems to come crashing down, spinning out of control and leaving him with one thought: Will I ever Catch My Breath?
