The inspiring story of one man’s relationship with his cancer and how it healed him . . . ‘You have…
cancer.’ These simple words come as a terrible shock. Life, as you know it, changes in an instant and nothing is the same again. Panic and fear overwhelm you as you desperately pin your hopes on doctors and on medical treatment. But this is only part of the story. While your doctors work towards healing your body, you must heal your inner self, just as Vijay Bhat did to beat his cancer. When he focused on himself, Vijay realized that his cancer originated within and only then manifested as a ‘tumour’ in his body. The authors believe that healing requires a ‘person-centric’ approach, where the focus is the whole person and all the aspects of his inner and outer life, rather than an ‘organ-centric’ one, where the focus is merely the disease or affected organ. According to them, cancer is the result of your physical lifestyle along with your mental, emotional and spiritual processes and the ‘stressors’ associated with these processes. For instance, negative thoughts and attitudes are mental stressors while negative emotions such as anger and guilt are emotional stressors. Healing these aspects of yourself is essential for physical healing. The authors guide you through your process of self-discovery, showing you how to find your stressors and teaching you how to recover from them. The book also gives useful information on the biological aspects of cancer and its causes; dietary and nutritional needs of cancer patients; how to maintain optimum immunity; how to confront loss and death; and the role of the caregiver. My Cancer Is Me is a thought-provoking and sensitive guide for anyone who has cancer or is supporting a loved one with cancer.By Tim Harford. 2008
A través de las fascinantes historias de cincuenta ideas e inventos, el autor de El economista camuflado explica en este…
nuevo libro cómo la innovación puede cambiar nuestras vidas y alterar el complejo sistema económico global. Hay innovaciones, ideas e inventos que permiten curar el cáncer. Otras nos permiten llegar a nuestros destinos de vacaciones mucho más deprisa. Son divertidas. Generan dinero. Y, por descontado, los inventos tienen éxito porque resuelven un problema que alguien, en algún lugar, quiere resolver. El arado, por ejemplo, tuvo éxito porque ayudó a los agricultores a producir más comida con menos esfuerzo. Sin embargo, los inventos configuran nuestra vida de manera impredecible, y, mientras resuelven un problema para alguien, a menudo crean un problema para otra persona. ¿Por qué el código de barras cambió el equilibrio de poderes en la industria alimentaria? ¿Por qué el gramófono incrementó la desigualdad económica? ¿Y cómo el alambre de púas forjó el futuro de Estados Unidos? Las innovaciones también afectan a una compleja red de conexiones económicas. A veces nos complican la vida, otras rompen viejos límites y, en ocasiones, crean patrones completamente nuevos. ¿Por qué, por ejemplo, la píldora anticonceptiva incrementó el número de mujeres en las facultades de Medicina y Derecho? Con el talento de le ha convertido en el más célebre divulgador económico, Tim Harford describe el funcionamiento de la economía a través de la sorprendente historia del plato precocinado, el Estado del Bienestar, la dinamo, la estantería Billy, la propiedad intelectual, el iPhone, las maquinillas y hojas de afeitar, el papel moneda o los paraísos fiscales. Algunas de estas historias se centran en fuerzas económicas vastas e impersonales; otras son relatos del genio o la tragedia de los humanos. Como el intento de desarrollar un «rayo mortífero» que, en cambio, llevó a inventar el radar, un dispositivo esencial para que los viajes aéreos sean seguros. Y todas estas innovaciones nos cuentan una historia, no solo del ingenio humano, sino también de los sistemas invisibles que nos rodean: de las cadenas de suministro global, de la información omnipresente, del dinero y de las ideas. Y, al final del libro, podremos aunar todas estas lecciones para preguntarnos cómo deberíamos pensar en la innovación hoy en día. ¿Cuáles son las mejores maneras de alentar nuevas ideas? ¿Y cómo podemos pensar con claridad sobre qué efectos pueden tener estas ideas y actuar con previsión para maximizar los beneficios y mitigar prejuicios?By Susan Mcclary, William Cheng. 2016
Modern academic criticism bursts with what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick once termed paranoid readings--interpretative feats that aim to prove a point,…
persuade an audience, and subtly denigrate anyone who disagrees. Driven by strategies of negation and suspicion, such rhetoric tends to drown out softer-spoken reparative efforts, which forego forceful argument in favor of ruminations on pleasure, love, sentiment, reform, care, and accessibility. Just Vibrations: The Purpose of Sounding Good calls for a time-out in our serious games of critical exchange. Charting the divergent paths of paranoid and reparative affects through illness narratives, academic work, queer life, noise pollution, sonic torture, and other touchy subjects, William Cheng exposes a host of stubborn norms in our daily orientations toward scholarship, self, and sound. How we choose to think about the perpetration and tolerance of critical and acoustic offenses may ultimately lead us down avenues of ethical ruin--or, if we choose, repair. With recourse to experimental rhetoric, interdisciplinary discretion, and the playful wisdoms of childhood, Cheng contends that reparative attitudes toward music and musicology can serve as barometers of better worlds.By Tehruna Meresh. 2013

The Third Volume in the Gallaudet Classics in Deaf Studies Series In 1917, Henri Gaillard led a delegation of deaf…
French men to the United States for the centennial celebration of the American School for the Deaf (ASD). The oldest school for deaf students in America, ASD had been cofounded by renowned deaf French teacher Laurent Clerc, thus inspiring Gaillard's invitation. Gaillard visited deaf people everywhere he went and recorded his impressions in a detailed journal. His essays present a sharply focused portrait of the many facets of Deaf America during a pivotal year in its history. Gaillard crossed the Atlantic only a few weeks after the United States entered World War I. In his writings, he reports the efforts of American deaf leaders to secure employment for deaf workers to support the war effort. He also witnesses spirited speeches at the National Association of the Deaf convention decrying the replacement of sign language by oral education. Gaillard also depicts the many local institutions established by deaf Americans, such as Philadelphia's All Souls Church, founded in 1888 by the country's first ordained deaf pastor, and the many deaf clubs established by the first wave of deaf college graduates in their communities. His journal stands as a unique chronicle of the American Deaf community during a remarkable era of transition. Henri Gaillard was the editor of the Gazette des Sourd-Muets (Deaf Gazette), at that time the only independent newspaper in France devoted to its Deaf community. He died in 1941.Have you ever wondered how some people just seem to be wired for wealth, while others spend their whole lives…

Lydia Huntley was born in 1791 in Norwich, CT, the only child of a poor Revolutionary war veteran. But her…
father's employer, a wealthy widow, gave young Lydia the run of her library and later sent her for visits to Hartford, CT. After teaching at her own school for several years in Norwich, Lydia returned to Hartford to head a class of 15 girls from the best families. Among her students was Alice Cogswell, a deaf girl soon to be famous as a student of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc. Lydia's inspiration came from a deep commitment to the education of girls and also for African American, Indian, and deaf children. She left teaching to marry Charles Sigourney, then turned to writing to support her family, publishing 56 books, 2,000 magazine articles, and popular poetry. Lydia Sigourney never abandoned her passion for deaf education, remaining a supporter of Gallaudet's school for the deaf until her death. Yet, her contributions to deaf education and her writing have been forgotten until now. All of Lydia Sigourney's of Lydia Sigourney's work on the nascent Deaf community is presented in this new volume. Her writing intertwines her mastery of the sentimentalism form popular in her day with her sharp insights on the best ways to educate deaf children. In the process, Mrs. Sigourney of Hartford reestablishes her rightful place in history.
