Investigative journalist Scott Carney has spent five years tracing the lucrative and deeply secretive trade in human bodies and body parts. The Red Market reveals the rise, fall, and resurgence of this multibillion-dollar underground trade through history, from early medical study and modern universities to poverty-ravaged Eurasian villages and high-tech Western labs; from body snatchers and surrogate mothers to skeleton dealers and the poor who sell body parts to survive. While local and international law enforcement have cracked down on the market, advances in science have increased the demand for human tissue--ligaments, kidneys, even rented space in women's wombs--leaving little room to consider the ethical dilemmas inherent in the flesh-and-blood trade.--From publisher description.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5751866</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5751866</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carney, Scott, 1978-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5751866109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>On the Trail of the World&apos;s Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780061936463/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Doesn't Kill Us]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5496745</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5496745</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carney, Scott, 1978-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5496745109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude, and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781623366902/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vortex]]></title><description><![CDATA[November 1970. Over the course of just a few hours, the Great Bhola Cyclone would kill 500,000 people and begin a chain reaction of turmoil, genocide, and war. The cyclone made landfall when Pakistan was on the brink of a historic election. The fallout ignited a conflagration of political intrigue, corruption, violence, idealism, and bravery that played out in the lives of tens of millions of Bangladeshis. Carney and Miklian take us deep into the cyclone and its aftermath, told through the eyes of the men and women who lived through it, including the infamous president of Pakistan, General Yahya Khan, and his close friend Richard Nixon. The storm ripped Pakistan in two-- and led the world to the brink of nuclear war. -- adapted from jacket]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6245566</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6245566</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carney, Scott, 1978-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6245566109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A True Story of History&apos;s Deadliest Storm, An Unspeakable War, and Liberation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062985415/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wedge]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the New York Times Bestselling author of "What Doesn't Kill Us." "Crazy good writing" - Wim Hof. Thrive or die: That's the rule of evolution. Despite this brutal logic, some species have learned to survive in even the most hostile conditions. Others couldn't--and perished. While incremental genetic adaptations hone the physiology of nearly every creature on this planet, there's another evolutionary force that is just as important: the power of choice. In this explosive investigation into the limits of endurance, journalist Scott Carney discovers how humans can wedge control over automatic physiological responses into the breaking point between stress and biology. We can reclaim our evolutionary destiny.In his New York Times bestseller, What Doesn't Kill Us, Carney submerged himself in ice water and learned breathing techniques from daredevil fitness guru Wim Hof. It gave him superhuman levels of endurance and quieted a persistent autoimmune illness. At the core of those methods is a technique called The Wedge that can give a person an edge in just about any situation.In this thrilling exploration of the limits and potential of the human body, Carney searches the globe for people who understand the subtle language of how the body responds to its environment. He confronts fear at a cutting-edge neuroscience laboratory at Stanford, and learns about flow states by tossing heavy weights with partners. He meets masters of mental misdirection in the heat of a Latvian sauna, experiments with breathing routines that bring him to the cusp of transcendence, searches his mind in sensory deprivation tanks, and ultimately ends up in the Amazon jungle with a shaman who promises either madness or universal truth. All of this in service of trying to understand what we're really capable of. What can we accomplish when we there are no true human limits?]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6146710</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6146710</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carney, Scott, 1978-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6146710109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Evolution, Consciousness, Stress, and the Key to Human Resilience</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781734194319/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Doesn't Kill Us]]></title><description><![CDATA[Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our ancestors? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney also enlists input from an Army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how they have cured autoimmune diseases, lost weight, and reversed diabetes. In the process, he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers. An ambitious blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism, What Doesn't Kill Us explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5694958</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5694958</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carney, Scott, 1978-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5694958109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude, and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781623366919/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Death on Diamond Mountain]]></title><description><![CDATA["An investigative reporter explores an infamous case where an obsessive and unorthodox search for enlightenment went terribly wrong.
