The Long Covid Handbook
Understand, manage, and treat Long Covid. Reports suggest that over 100m people around the world are living with Long Covid (more than 1.5m in the UK) yet reliable, clear information and guidance remains scarce. This book is the definitive guide to understanding, managing and treating the condition. Written by the world's leading immunologist Professor Danny Altmann and expert patient Gez Medinger, The Long Covid Handbook translates cutting-edge science, patient-led research and practical guidance with clarity. This book will equip you with expert information and advice on: - Long Covid's 200 symptoms, which include fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness and more - Tips for recovery - Which treatments are most effective and why - Who is most susceptible to the condition and why - What we can learn about Long Covid from other chronic illnesses - The impact on mental health This is the essential guide for anyone living with the condition, as well as clinicians seeking to better understand this little-understood illness.
Breaking Free from Long Covid
Making visible the real effects of Long Covid on people and their lives, this guide explores the issues of living with the condition, helping people to make sense of their experiences on the road to recovery. Rooted in the author's personal story of having Long Covid since April 2020, the book offers ideas from Narrative Therapy as a lens through which to address the emotional impact of Long Covid, and shares practical strategies for managing symptoms and regaining quality of life. Acknowledging that recovery is unpredictable, the book sheds light on the often invisible challenges faced by people living with chronic conditions, such as managing pacing and rest in a world that values productivity, the impact of illness on relationships, coping in the context of a pandemic, and negotiating day to day life when you are living between illness and wellness. Also drawing on the author's expertise as a Clinical Psychologist working in physical health, Breaking Free from Long Covid offers ideas for reconnecting with what matters most to you when illness threatens to take over your life.
The Social Photo
"Mr. Jurgenson makes a first sortie toward a new understanding of the photograph, wherein artistry or documentary intent have given way to communication and circulation. Like Susan Sontag’s On Photography, to which it self-consciously responds, The Social Photo is slim, hard-bitten and picture-free." – New York Times A set of bold theoretical reflections on how the social photo has remade our world. With the rise of the smart phone and social media, cameras have become ubiquitous, infiltrating nearly every aspect of social life. The glowing camera screen is the lens through which many of us seek to communicate our experience. But our thinking about photography has been slow to catch-up; this major fixture of everyday life is still often treated in the terms of art or journalism. In The Social Photo, social theorist Nathan Jurgenson develops bold new ways of understanding photography in the age of social media and the new kinds of images that have emerged: the selfie, the faux-vintage photo, the self-destructing image, the food photo. Jurgenson shows how these devices and platforms have remade the world and our understanding of ourselves within it.
The Language of Reality
The answer to existence is that existence is an eternal language, a language that solves itself, optimizes itself, perfects itself, and finally speaks to itself and tells itself exactly what it is. It is a language that becomes conscious of itself. It might seem as though humans became conscious through language, but in fact language became conscious through humans. In "The Selfish Gene", Richard Dawkins wrote, "We are survival machines - robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes. This is a truth which still fills me with astonishment." In fact, we are living language nodes of a living cosmic language that is using us to become conscious of itself. Because we are language beings, we create languages, and through languages we eventually arrive at the original language, the Ur Language, the language in which we ourselves are written and expressed. This is the numerical language of mathematics, the language of energy, of syntax and semantics … the language of mind.
