�_~ThisA�splendid and often moving work of history�_� Schama has a gift for combining novelistically colourful detail, serious analysis and wryly amusing asides�_TA�Daily Telegraph A� �_~Superb�_TA�Observer A� �_~Extraordinary�_� A meticulous retelling of a terrible yet scientifically innovative period�_� Makes an urgent case for building a better future on our toxic past�_T Guardian A� �_~This is history of the best sort �_" humanly engaged but never sentimental�_T Mail on SundayA�Cities and countries engulfed by panic and death, desperate for vaccines but fearful of what inoculation may bring. This is what the world has just gone through with Covid-19. But as Simon Schama shows in his epic history of vulnerable humanity caught between the terror of contagion and the ingenuity of science, it has happened before.A� A� Characteristically, with Schama the message is delivered through gripping, page-turning stories set in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: smallpox strikes London; cholera hits Paris; plague comes to India. Threading through the scenes of terror, suffering and hope �_" in hospitals and prisons, palaces and slums �_" are an unforgettable cast of characters: a philosopher-playwright burning up with smallpox in a country chateau; a vaccinating doctor paying house calls in Halifax; a woman doctor in south India driving her inoculator-carriage through the stricken streets as dead monkeys drop from the trees. But we are also in the labs when great, life-saving breakthroughs happen, in Paris, Hong Kong and Mumbai. A� At the heart of it all, an unsung hero: Waldemar Haffkine. A gun-toting Jewish student in Odesa turned microbiologist at the Pasteur Institute, hailed in England as �_~the saviour of mankind�_T for vaccinating millions against cholera and bubonic plague in British India while being cold-shouldered by the medical establishment of the Raj. Creator of the world�_Ts first mass production line of vaccines in Mumbai, he is tragically brought down in an act of shocking injustice. A�Foreign Bodies crosses borders between east and west, Asia and Europe, the worlds of rich and poor, politics and science. Its thrilling story carries with it the credo of its author on the interconnectedness of humanity and nature; of the powerful and the people. Ultimately, Schama says, as we face the challenges of our times together, �_~there are no foreigners, only familiars�_T.

It's a thing...
Flavor Name: Vanilla, Size: 14 Servings (Pack of 1)
I am probably the most skeptical person when it comes to supplements. I’ve tried so many over the years and honestly… most of them felt like a waste of money or just hype. But I have to say—this combo has completely surprised me. I’ve been consistently using Thorne protein and creatine, and within a few weeks I started noticing real changes. Not just how I feel, but how I look. My shoulders especially are looking more defined, and I feel stronger in my workouts without feeling jittery or weird like some products can make you feel. What really stands out to me is how clean and simple it is. No bloating, no heavy feeling, no unnecessary extras—just something that actually supports what I’m already doing. I also love that it fits easily into my routine. I take my creatine with my morning coffee (super easy habit), and I’ve been doing a protein shake after workouts which has helped a lot with recovery and keeping me on track nutritionally. I’m currently in a calorie deficit getting ready for a trip, and this has honestly made it feel doable without feeling depleted. If you’re someone like me who is hesitant about supplements, I’d say this is the first time I’ve actually felt like something made a noticeable difference.

I didn’t know I could truly love a protein powder…
Flavor Name: Vanilla, Size: 30 Servings (Pack of 1)
The flavor and consistency are unmatched and it was actually easy to digest which is something I’ve never experienced, and is crazy for me bc I have serious issues with whey causing bloating and had actually given up on it completely. 100/10 would recommend JUST bc it’s delicious, the fact that it’s such high quality at a reasonable price is just the cherry on top. I ordered the vanilla to try first and just mixed with cold water using a frother/whisk thing just to get a gauge of taste and consistency and I would actually drink it that way, which I never ever imagined doing with protein lol- later I added it to a smoothie and it was also delicious, almost could not taste it over blueberries but the subtle and delicious vanilla flavor was there.

Gentle and easy to take, great for winding down
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Melatonin 1mg
I don’t like taking pills, so I really appreciate that this melatonin is tiny and easy to take. It dissolves quickly, and the taste is not bad at all. I take it before bedtime to help me wind down, and it seems to be working well so far. A nice gentle sleep support option.
