Through an exploration of everyday ethics and care practices on a local maternity ward, anthropologist Adrienne E. Strong untangles the reasons Tanzania has achieved so little sustainable success in reducing maternal mortality rates, despite global development support. Growing administrative pressures to document good care serve to preclude good care in practice while placing frontline healthcare workers in moral and ethical peril. Maternal health emergencies expose the precarity of hospital social relations and accountability systems, which, together, continue to lead to the deaths of pregnant women.

Can Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) find common ground? A distinguished historian of medicine, John… S. Haller Jr., explores the epistemological foundations of EBM and the challenges these conceptual tools present for both conventional and alternative therapies. As he explores a possible reconciliation between their conflicting approaches, Haller maintains a healthy, scientific skepticism yet finds promise in select complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies. Haller elucidates recent research on the placebo effect and shows how a new engagement between EBM and CAM might lead to a more productive medical practice that includes both the objectivity of evidence-based medicine and the subjective truth of the physician-patient relationship. Haller's book tours key topics in the standoff between EBM and CAM: how and why the double blinded, randomized clinical trial (RCT) came to be considered the gold standard in modern medicine; the challenge of postmodern medicine as it counters the positivism of evidence-based medicine; and the politics of modern CAM and the rise of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. He conducts an in-depth case study of homeopathy, explaining why it has emerged as a poster-child for CAM, and assesses CAM's popularity despite its poor performance in clinical trials. Haller concludes with hope, showing how new experimental protocols might tease out the evidentiary basis for the placebo effect and establish a foundation for some reconciliation between EBM and CAM.
Maxine Clair, award-winning author of the critically acclaimed short story collection Rattlebone and the novel October Suite, has assembled a… deeply inspirational yet practical book to help readers access their inner creativity. Imagine This is a beautifully written set of deeply personal stories from which Clair draws examples of how we can be aware of the now, keep ourselves motivated, and create work of which we are proud.Imagine This explains how some of us consciously choose the vehicle through which we express our magnificence - be it business, art, science, or other - while others of us have dutifully plied a trade in arenas that society has suggested are worthwhile, with self-expression only fixed on a hobby. Both, Clair maintains, can contribute to a good life. Occasionally, however, a moment comes that is sufficiently insistent on deep examination. In that moment we float the possibility for expression of a greater self.Imagine This shows readers how to be aware of these moments and how our inner creativity is always seeking an outlet. By combining captivating memoir with step-by-step advice, Clair helps us find and develop our own unique and personal creative outlets.
Join "Mr. Aluminum," a scientist who has made the study of aluminum his life's work, on a journey of discovery,… reflection, and the science of aluminum. Professor Christopher Exley is a firm believer that science is only useful when it is properly communicated. Scientific papers are difficult vehicles for the wider communication of science and thus he has always endeavored to tell the story of his scientific research as widely as possible through myriad blogs, presentations, and interviews. Through a series of easy-reading entries written for non-scientists, Exley will educate readers about his lifelong scientific passion: aluminum. In scientific circles, aluminum—in relation to human health specifically—has gone the way of the dinosaurs (though, unlike dinosaurs, there has not yet been a popular revival!). Yet aluminum is also the greatest untold story of science. But why do we all need to know a little bit more about aluminum? Do we need a self-help guide for living in what Exley has coined "The Aluminum Age"? What is it about aluminum that makes it different? What about iron, copper, or any of the so-called "heavy metals," like mercury, cadmium, or lead? Why must we pay particular attention to aluminum? Because its bio-geochemistry, its natural history, raises two red flags immediately and simultaneously. These two danger signals are easily missed by all of us and easily dismissed by those whose interests are conflicted by aluminum&’s omnipresence in human life and consequently, are purposely blind to its danger signals. First, aluminum, in all of its myriad forms, is super abundant; it is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon) of the Earth&’s crust. Second, aluminum is super reactive; it is both chemically and biologically reactive. However, these two red flags identify a paradox, as the abundant and biologically reactive aluminum has no biological function either in any organism today nor in any extinct biota from the evolutionary past. This means in practical terms that when we encounter aluminum in our everyday lives, our bodies only see aluminum as an impostor, something foreign, and something for which we have not been prepared through biochemical evolution. This in turn means that all of our encounters with aluminium are adventitious, random, and chaotic. And potentially dangerous. Imagine You Are An Aluminum Atom: Discussions With "Mr. Aluminum" examines the science of aluminum and human health and makes them understandable to all. Within the science you will find personal recollections of events, as well as opinions and reflections upon how the politics of aluminum have influenced and interfered with doing and reporting the science. It is at once both a personal recollection of Exley's life in aluminum research and a guide on the dangers of the constant exposure to aluminum we as humans face during this "Aluminum Age." It will inform, it will provide the means to question the science, and it will, if the reader is prepared to participate, answer those frequently asked questions on aluminum and human health.
This memoir is about life, love, facing breast cancer with its challenges and change. Nancy begins this story with segments… from her life that helped form her into the woman she is today. As a nurse practitioner with a specialty in menopause for the past 25 years, she knew she was about to face a tumultuous battle. Blindsided by the diagnosis of breast cancer, she had turned to her journal for guidance and calm. Hormone therapy had been a lifeline to her health and sanity for many years, but now she had to reconcile with the thought of letting go of her estrogen patch. As she gradually reduced the size of the patch while awaiting surgery, symptoms she had experienced years before crept back with a vengeance - hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, brain fog, irritability, mood swings. The incredible shifts overwhelmed her, she felt as if her life was falling apart. She could still help her patients, but unfortunately not help herself. Suddenly finding herself in a patient role, she knew she needed to speak up and to be heard. Thus began her process of research, seeking out and speaking with experts in the menopause field about hormones after breast cancer, daring to question medical professionals, and ultimately finding her voice. Finally, after doing her homework, journaling extensively and assuming personal responsibility for her future health, she returned to her beloved estrogen. It was not an easy path.

A RECOMMENDED SUMMER READ BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, TIME, AND NEWSWEEK Longtime Jeopardy! host and television icon… Alex Trebek reflects on his life and career.Since debuting as the host of Jeopardy! in 1984, Alex Trebek has been something like a family member to millions of television viewers, bringing entertainment and education into their homes five nights a week. Last year, he made the stunning announcement that he had been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. What followed was an incredible outpouring of love and kindness. Social media was flooded with messages of support, and the Jeopardy! studio received boxes of cards and letters offering guidance, encouragement, and prayers. For over three decades, Trebek had resisted countless appeals to write a book about his life. Yet he was moved so much by all the goodwill, he felt compelled to finally share his story. “I want people to know a little more about the person they have been cheering on for the past year,” he writes in The Answer Is…: Reflections on My Life. The book combines illuminating personal anecdotes with Trebek’s thoughts on a range of topics, including marriage, parenthood, education, success, spirituality, and philanthropy. Trebek also addresses the questions he gets asked most often by Jeopardy! fans, such as what prompted him to shave his signature mustache, his insights on legendary players like Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer, and his opinion of Will Ferrell’s Saturday Night Live impersonation. The book uses a novel structure inspired by Jeopardy!, with each chapter title in the form of a question, and features dozens of never-before-seen photos that candidly capture Trebek over the years. This wise, charming, and inspiring book is further evidence why Trebek has long been considered one of the most beloved and respected figures in entertainment.

Narrated by a funny and friendly ant, this book is packed with humor and playful phrasing to bring lightness to the exploration of animal behavior. Brought to life by bright and wacky cartoon-style illustrations, Acting Wild will leave kids with the understanding that acting like an animal is simply in their nature.

Me gusta empezar mis libros pensando en algo. Si estás leyendo este libro, asumí que deseas experimentar una intimidad más profunda… con Dios y con otros seres amados en tu vida. ¿Qué es esta intimidad? Saquemos el sexo del camino. El sexo no es la intimidad que más dura o importa. Es un acto de intimidad; que estaba destinado a expresar la relación que ya ha tenido lugar; entre dos corazones. El amor verdadero permite que la intimidad se desarrolle primero en el corazón y es por eso que los verdaderos amantes esperan el momento adecuado para tener relaciones sexuales. Cuando la intimidad se desarrolla en el corazón, primero, el amor será más fácil de mantener en el largo plazo de la relación. La Biblia no te sostiene del placer sexual, antes del matrimonio, como castigo, pero para que no te pierdas lo que realmente importa en el área de la intimidad: dos corazones que se convierten en uno, no dos simples cuerpos físicos. Si configura su experiencia de intimidad en torno al acto; encontrará la intimidad limitada a ese acto. Sin embargo, si configura su intimidad en torno al coito de dos corazones, durará más que el acto, que eventualmente cambiará con la edad de todos modos. No importa quién sea, no importa lo bueno que sea sexualmente, no importa cuán liberal sea al participar en el acto sexual, vendrá en busca de una intimidad real algún día.

Tutto questo, per raggiungere un luogo dove smettere di cercare e cominciare ad essere. In tutto il libro, passiamo attraverso i diversi livelli di coscienza, fino ad arrivare allo stato di coscienza essenziale, in cui ci connetteremo con la nostra vera essenza, e in cui risiede il potere dell'ispirazione. In questo stato di coscienza essenziale, i miracoli accadono in un modo del tutto inaspettato, e il potere creativo si scatena permettendoci di iniziare a creare la nostra realtà. Impareremo ad attirare l'abbondanza nella nostra vita, a diluire i problemi invece di cercare di risolverli, e tutto questo liberando la paura e donandoci all'amore. Questo processo di scoperta ci aiuterà a dare un senso alla nostra vita, a scoprire il nostro proposito di vita e ad agire; un'azione consapevole e proficua che ci permetterà di rinascere e di evolverci come esseri umani.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a major concern in communities where women drink heavily. American Indian communities appear to be… particularly at risk (1). While some information is available on younger children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), little was known about adolescents and adults with this disorder until the present project was undertaken. This report is based on information gained from the FAS Follow-Up Study which involved assessments of 61 adolescents and adults who previously had been given a diagnosis of FAS or FAE, and interviews with their families, school teachers, and social service personnel.This manual is directed toward those who are involved in giving care and providing services to adolescents and adults with FAS and FAE. These include both caretakers and physicians, as well as nurses, school teachers, social workers, court workers and tribal councils. While the majority of patients in the follow-up study are American Indian, the concerns regarding FAS and FAE transcend culture, race, gender, and socioeconomic status. It is our hope that the information contained herein will result in a better understanding of adolescents and adults with FAS and FAE and that this understanding of their special problems and needs will lead to more adequate planning by community agencies and better care for affected individuals. We hope that by demonstrating the lifelong impact of FAS, this manual will also encourage even more vigorous prevention and education efforts and a decrease in this preventable form of mental retardation and developmental disability.We begin with some background information, then describe the research project, and finally present general and specific recommendations for helping adolescents and adults with FAS and their families.
