By Gabriel Agbo, Martha Mauri. 2017
Los sacrificios son poderosos, ¡muy poderosos! El hombre más rico, el más fuerte, los hombres y mujeres más bendecidos, el…
más sabio, el rey más grande, los profetas más poderosos fueron hombres y mujeres de sacrificio. Lo dieron todo, arriesgaron todo por su gente, por la humanidad y por Dios para lograr sus metas y proezas de las que incluso se enorgullece la eternidad. ¿Quiere conocer sus secretos? Pues bien, si quiere ser grande, primero debe convertirse en un hombre o una mujer de sacrificio. Para aquellos que pueden pagar el precio, todo es posible. Los capítulos El poder del sacrificio, Sólo sacrifica lo tuyo, Mi paso por Egipto, Pago el precio, ¡Síganme!, Venimos por ustedes, Te protejo, Prepara la última cena, El poder de salvar, La alabanza, La oración y El ayuno, serán sumamente reveladores. En la Biblia no sólo se habla de los grandes sacrificios de extraordinarios hombres y mujeres y cómo sus acciones los hicieron grandes, sino también de personas como Yonatan 'Yoni' Netanyahu, el joven israelí que dirigió la unidad de comando para rescatar a los rehenes judíos que se encontraban en el avión que fuera secuestrado y desviado al aeropuerto de Entebbe, Uganda en 1976. También vimos a algunos héroes militares, especialmente los de Operaciones Especiales, como los SEAL y la Fuerza Delta. Estos hombres dan lo mejor de sí; constantemente arriesgan todo, incluso su vida, para defender a su gente y a la humanidad. Sacrifican su vida para proteger a otros. Jesús dijo que el sacrificio más grande es que un hombre dé su vida por los demás. ¡Nuestros respetos! Ellos nos enseñan lo que debe ser el sacrificio. Jesús dijo ¿qué sacrificio puede ser mayor que el de un hombre que da su vida por sus amigos? Alabamos su coraje y patriotismo extremo. Aquí aprenderemos sobre los sacrificios de fe, amabilidad, patriotismo, oración, ayuno y alabanza. Cuando se traspasa de lo ordinario en cualquiera de los anteriores, de inmediWisdom of the Ages: 60 Days to Enlightenment

By Meriflor Toneatto. 2018

By Paul A. Offit. 2015
In recent years, there have been major outbreaks of whooping cough among children in California, mumps in New York, and…
measles in Ohio’s Amish country--despite the fact that these are all vaccine-preventable diseases. Although America is the most medically advanced place in the world, many people disregard modern medicine in favor of using their faith to fight life threatening illnesses. Christian Scientists pray for healing instead of going to the doctor, Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse blood transfusions, and ultra-Orthodox Jewish mohels spread herpes by using a primitive ritual to clean the wound. Tragically, children suffer and die every year from treatable diseases, and in most states it is legal for parents to deny their children care for religious reasons. In twenty-first century America, how could this be happening? In Bad Faith, acclaimed physician and author Dr. Paul Offit gives readers a never-before-seen look into the minds of those who choose to medically martyr themselves, or their children, in the name of religion. Offit chronicles the stories of these faithful and their children, whose devastating experiences highlight the tangled relationship between religion and medicine in America. Religious or not, this issue reaches everyone--whether you are seeking treatment at a Catholic hospital or trying to keep your kids safe from diseases spread by their unvaccinated peers. Replete with vivid storytelling and complex, compelling characters, Bad Faith makes a strenuous case that denying medicine to children in the name of religion isn’t just unwise and immoral, but a rejection of the very best aspects of what belief itself has to offer.Hookup culture dominates the lives of college students today. Most students spend hours agonizing over their hopes for Friday night…
and, later, dissecting the evenings’ successes or failures, often wishing that the social contract of the hookup would allow them to ask for more out of sexual intimacy. The pressure to participate comes from all directionsfrom peers, the media, and even parents. But how do these expectations affect students themselves? And why aren’t parents and universities helping students make better-informed decisions about sex and relationships? In The End of Sex, Donna Freitas draws on her own extensive research to reveal what young men and women really want when it comes to sex and romance. Surveying thousands of college students and conducting extensive one-on-one interviews at religious, secular public, and secular private schools, Freitas discovered that many studentsmen and women alikeare deeply unhappy with hookup culture. Meaningless hookups have led them to associate sexuality with ambivalence, boredom, isolation, and loneliness, yet they tend to accept hooking up as an unavoidable part of college life. Freitas argues that, until students realize that there are many avenues that lead to sex and long-term relationships, the vast majority will continue to miss out on the romance, intimacy, and satisfying sex they deserve. An honest, sympathetic portrait of the challenges of young adulthood, The End of Sex will strike a chord with undergraduates, parents, and faculty members who feel that students deserve more than an endless cycle of boozy one night stands. Freitas offers a refreshing take on this charged topicand a solution that depends not on premarital abstinence or unfettered sexuality, but rather a healthy path between the two.Hot, Healthy, Happy: The 21-Day Diet to Eat, Drink and Think Your Way to Self-Love and Skinny Jeans

By Scott O. Lilienfeld, Sally Satel. 2013
In recent years, the advent of MRI technology seems to have unlocked the secrets of the human mind, revealing the…
sources of our deepest desires, intentions, and fears. As renowned psychiatrist and scholar Sally Satel and psychologist Scott O. Lilienfeld demonstrate in Brainwashed, however, the explanatory power of brain scans in particular and neuroscience more generally has been vastly overestimated. Although acknowledging its tremendous potential, the authors argue that the overzealous application of the burgeoning field of brain science has put innocent people in jail, prevented addicts from healing themselves, and undermined notions of free will and responsibility. A provocative challenge to the use and abuse of a seductive science, Brainwashed offers an essential corrective to determinist explanations of human behavior.Girls on the Edge: The Four Factors Driving the New Crisis for Girls

Compelling and inspiring, Girls on the Edge points the way to a new future for today's young women.Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
By Amber Cooper. 2016
Presenting the most current and relevant information on the diagnosis and management of primary ovarian insufficiency, also known as premature…
ovarian failure (POI/POF), this book presents two equally important voices. The first is the scientific, evidence-based voice discussing the latest information on POI/POF in a concise and logical fashion: etiologies, symptoms, genetics, mechanisms, associated conditions, as well as psychological and lifestyle considerations. The second voice presents the first-person stories of affected women, who are often faced with a diagnosis of irreversible infertility at a very young age and who somehow learn to live with great uncertainty about their ability to create a family - a core identity issue for many women. It is thus not simply a clinical, case-based presentation, but a more collaborative effort between clinicians who are well-versed in the field and women who have POI/POF. Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: A Clinical Guide to Early Menopause will therefore be an excellent practical yet personal reference for OB/GYNs, reproductive medicine specialists, and any clinician, nurse or health care worker treating women living with POI/POF.Health Inequities Related to Intimate Partner Violence Against Women
By Mandi M. Larsen. 2016
This book examines the extent to which social position impacts exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) and whether women with…
IPV exposure are more vulnerable to social inequities in health. At the intersection of sociological theories on health, gender, and policy, this book explores these issues against the social policy contexts of the United States, Germany, and Norway. It applies a conceptual framework which argues that differential exposure to IPV and differential vulnerability to poor health are two primary mechanisms driving health inequities for IPV survivors. Empirical analysis reveals context-specific nuances in the interactions of social position and IPV exposure in their impact on health, and suggests that encouraging women's economic independence and ensuring access to health care are vital policy intervention points for reducing the health inequities of IPV survivors. This book offers a cross-national comparative look at the role of social policy in the lives of IPV survivors, highlighting the effects of various policy approaches in three modern welfare states and suggesting policy implications.Joint Care of Parents and Infants in Perinatal Psychiatry

In addition, an overview of maternal perinatal psychopathology is provided and other relevant aspects are fully discussed, including the establishment of parent-infant interactions and the impacts of parental psychiatric illness on parenting skills and infant development. The book will be invaluable for adult and child psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, midwives, nurses and all others involved in the provision of perinatal psychiatric care.Manual del guerrero de la luz

By Samantha D. Gottlieb. 2018
In Not Quite a Cancer Vaccine, medical anthropologist S.D. Gottlieb explores how the vaccine Gardasil—developed against the most common sexually-transmitted…
infection, human papillomavirus (HPV)—was marketed primarily as a cervical cancer vaccine. Gardasil quickly became implicated in two pre-existing debates—about adolescent sexuality and pediatric vaccinations more generally. Prior to its market debut, Gardasil seemed to offer female empowerment, touting protection against HPV and its potential for cervical cancer. Gottlieb questions the marketing pitch’s vaunted promise and asks why vaccine marketing unnecessarily gendered the vaccine’s utility, undermining Gardasil’s benefit for men and women alike. This book demonstrates why in the ten years since Gardasil’s U.S. launch its low rates of public acceptance have their origins in the early days of the vaccine dissemination. Not Quite a Cancer Vaccine addresses the on-going expansion in U.S. healthcare of patients-as-consumers and the ubiquitous, and sometimes insidious, health marketing of large pharma.While the big bad corporation has often been the offender in many of the world's greatest environmental disasters, in the…
case of the mass poisoning at Camp Lejeune the culprit is a revered institution: the US Marine Corps. For two decades now, revelations have steadily emerged about pervasive contamination, associated clusters of illness and death among the Marine families stationed there, and military stonewalling and failure to act. Mike Magner's chilling investigation creates a suspenseful narrative from the individual stories, scientific evidence, and smoldering sense of betrayal among those whose motto is undying fidelity. He also raises far-reaching and ominous questions about widespread contamination on US military bases worldwide.The Bhagavad Gita
By Eknath Easwaran. 1961

battle.

Most importantly, this translation uses simple, clear language to impart the poetry, universality, and timelessness of the Gita's teachings.Mindful Medical Practice

By Nazilla Khanlou, F. Beryl Pilkington. 2015
This book focuses on the social and societal context of women's mental health. Drawing from multidisciplinary perspectives and scholarship, it…
pays particular attention to how women's mental health is experienced at the personal level, yet it is influenced by their relationships and interacts with the larger societal context (such as prevailing gender equality policies, income distribution, role burden, peace and security). Specific attention is given to the positive aspects of women's mental health (such as agency, resilience) and how women's personal relations across diverse domains (such as family, work, neighbourhoods) are constructed and influenced by, and in turn influence, broader societal structures/ policies/ opportunities. A unique feature of this book is that, at the end of each chapter, there is a Response section written by a non-academic such as a community member, practitioner or policy maker in which the invited authors respond to the chapter texts in the form of narrative, poetry, and/or prose, according to their various backgrounds, interests, and experiences.
