Breaking awake : a reporter's search for a new life, and a new world, through drugs / by Moskowitz, P. E.,1988-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Why are so many of us unhappy, anxious, and without purpose? And how can we get better? Several years ago, P.E. Moskowitz had a near-death experience, followed by a nervous breakdown. As they willed themselves back to life using a variety of drugs, both prescription and illicit, they started to wonder: Why are so many of us seeking out these types of interventions to deal with our daily reality? In Breaking Awake, Moskowitz takes us on a kaleidoscopic voyage through our country's collective mental health collapse, and the drugs we take-from fentanyl to SSRIs, to ketamine to LSD and beyond-to cope with the gnawing bleakness of our present moment. In a cross-country tour of drug use-including the free heroin handed out on the streets of Vancouver, a mom in Chicago who has been on SSRIs since childhood and now can't live without them, and ravers in Brooklyn taking drugs most people have never heard of to push the limits of human consciousness-Moskowitz questions whether drugs can spark liberation or simply quell the pain of modern life. Is it time to view drugs differently? And can drugs help us envision a better future?"--

Dangerous miracle : the astonishing rise and looming disaster of antibiotics / by Shaw, Liam,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Oxford University biologist Liam Shaw reveals the fascinating history of antibiotics, how we burned through them, and what that means for our future health. The discovery of antibiotics was one of humanity's greatest achievements. Since their advent less than a century ago, antibiotics have saved millions of lives, marking one of the greatest medical advances in our history. Much like oil in the previous century, they were not invented but discovered -- the most effective antibiotics are found in nature, made by microbes. But just like oil, antibiotics came with a cost. That's because antibiotics aren't like other drugs: every time we use them, we increase the probability of resistance to them and thus undermine their future effectiveness. And like fossil fuels, they won't last forever. How did we get here? In order to understand the future of antibiotics, we need to understand their past. 'Dangerous Miracle' tells the story of antibiotics, tracing the grand arc of their evolution over millions of years with a history of the past century. Antibiotic resistance shows how easily bacteria have been able to undo human progress. If we want antibiotics to have a future, we need to prepare to adapt accordingly. And fast. 'Dangerous Miracle' is a revelatory account of the miraculous history and uncertain future of antibiotics from a visionary and gifted biologist.
