Book Synopsis Cancer Is a Four-Letter Word by : Larry Kreps
Download or read book Cancer Is a Four-Letter Word written by Larry Kreps and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men today, closely following lung cancer. About one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. But only one in 35 will die from it. More than two million men in the United States who have been diagnosed at some point are still alive today. I am one of them. My book, Cancer is a Four-Letter Word: A Pilgrimage into the Emotional, Sexual, and Spiritual Aspects of Prostate Cancer, chronicles my own experience with this terrible disease. From early diagnosis, fear, and panic, to shopping for the best treatment, to surgery and subsequent recovery, I trace not only the physical journey of getting my stamina and good health back, but also the psychological and sexual implications. My format includes an interweaving of my own story of prostate cancer with other men's stories, along with open-ended questions at the end of each chapter to keep men and their partners talking late into the night. There's also a resource list to provide support for a lifetime. Although concise and easy to read, my book doesn't hold back any personal details. Readers will learn what to expect in regard to diapering oneself post-surgery, working through debilitating depression, and forging the uncharted territory of a different kind of sexual intimacy. More importantly, they'll hear about learning to accept support from loving friends and how to talk to God in a whole new way. Rarely does a reader find an account of experiencing God's overwhelming love and grace in the same chapter as explicit details on how to give oneself penile injections to overcome erectile dysfunction!
Book Synopsis Rationing Is Not a Four-Letter Word by : Philip M. Rosoff
Download or read book Rationing Is Not a Four-Letter Word written by Philip M. Rosoff and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Philip Rosoff offers a provocative proposal for providing quality healthcare to all Americans and controlling the out-of-control costs that threaten the economy. He argues that rationing--often associated in the public's mind with such negatives as unplugging ventilators, death panels, and socialized medicine--is not a dirty word. A comprehensive, centralized, and fair system of rationing is the best way to distribute the benefits of modern medicine equitably while achieving significant cost savings.

Book Synopsis Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word by : Fred P. Hochberg
Download or read book Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word written by Fred P. Hochberg and published by Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A sprightly and clear-eyed testimonial to the value of globalization” (The Wall Street Journal) as seen through six surprising everyday goods—the taco salad, the Honda Odyssey, the banana, the iPhone, the college degree, and the blockbuster HBO series Game of Thrones. Trade allows us to sell what we produce at home and purchase what we don’t. It lowers prices and gives us greater variety and innovation. Yet understanding our place in the global trade network is rarely simple. Trade has become an easy excuse for struggling economies, a scapegoat for our failures to adapt to a changing world, and—for many Americans on both the right and the left—nothing short of a four-letter word. But as Fred P. Hochberg reminds us, trade is easier to understand than we commonly think. In Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word, you’ll learn how NAFTA became a populist punching bag on both sides of the aisle. You’ll learn how Americans can avoid the grim specter of the $10 banana. And you’ll finally discover the truth about whether or not, as President Trump has famously tweeted, “trade wars are good and easy to win.” (Spoiler alert—they aren’t.) Hochberg debunks common trade myths by pulling back the curtain on six everyday products, each with a surprising story to tell: the taco salad, the Honda Odyssey, the banana, the iPhone, the college degree, and the smash hit HBO series Game of Thrones. Behind these six examples are stories that help explain not only how trade has shaped our lives so far but also how we can use trade to build a better future for our own families, for America, and for the world. Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word is the antidote to today’s acronym-laden trade jargon pitched to voters with simple promises that rarely play out so one-dimensionally. Packed with colorful examples and highly digestible explanations, Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word is “an accessible, necessary book that will increase our understanding of trade and economic policies and the ways in which they impact our daily lives” (Library Journal, starred review).

Book Synopsis Loss Is a Four-Letter Word by : Carole Fleet
Download or read book Loss Is a Four-Letter Word written by Carole Fleet and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word "loss" contains only four letters, but its size belies the amount of fear it produces at even its mere mention. Even more terrifying and enormous is the reality of loss—specifically, the loss of a spouse. For the loved one left behind, the loss of a spouse or partner is frightening, and the ensuing grief can be all-consuming. Regardless of the circumstances, spousal loss devastates on numerous levels and in countless ways. Whether the loss is brand new or decades old, it nonetheless leaves indelible wounds. Worst of all, widowhood has the capacity to keep those affected from moving forward into a new and fulfilling life. The need for relatable and actionable direction and advice remains a very real need for the widowed community. In Loss is a Four-Letter Word, award-winning author Carole Brody Fleet, who herself experienced the numbing pain and grief as a young widow and mother, shows readers a way out, a way to move forward—not "get over"—their most profound loss in positive ways. Fleet combines no-nonsense, directed advice with specific, boot camp style "assignments" that are framed with compassion and humor. Appropriate for both the newly bereaved as well as those who may have been grieving for years, Loss is a Four-Letter Word is also ideal for those who wish to best support the bereaved through a most challenging life-journey.

Book Synopsis Night Song of the Last Tram - A Glasgow Childhood by : Robert Douglas
Download or read book Night Song of the Last Tram - A Glasgow Childhood written by Robert Douglas and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2007-10-13 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a wonderfully colourful and deeply poignant memoir of growing up in a 'single end' - one room in a Glasgow tenement - during and immediately after the Second World War. Although young Robert Douglas's life was blighted by the cruel if sporadic presence of his father, it was equally blessed by the love of his mother, Janet. While the story of their life together is in some ways very sad, it is also filled with humorous and happy memories. "Night Song of The Last Tram" is a superb evocation of childhood and of a Glasgow of trams and tenements that has long since disappeared.
Book Synopsis I Love Growing Older, But I'll Never Grow Old by : J. Ellsworth Kalas
Download or read book I Love Growing Older, But I'll Never Grow Old written by J. Ellsworth Kalas and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing older is a process. Growing old is a conclusion. If you're growing older you see some hope because you have perspective and you keep learning. If you've grown old, you may cynically think that times have never been as bad as they are now, and that they can only get worse. This book is about learning how to "make peace with where you are right now." It's about learning from the past and then moving past it. It's about growing--personally, spiritually, and in our relationships with God and with others. If we think properly about growing older we'll never have to grow old.
Book Synopsis On the Translation of Swearing into Spanish by : Betlem Soler Pardo
Download or read book On the Translation of Swearing into Spanish written by Betlem Soler Pardo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audiovisual translation has attracted the attention of many researchers in the years since it became recognised as an academic discipline with an established theory of translation. For its part, cinema is one of today’s most powerful and influential media, and the vast number of US films translated for Spanish audiences merits particular academic attention. This book presents an analysis of the insults from seven films directed by the North American filmmaker Quentin Tarantino – Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill (vols. I and II), Death Proof, and Inglourious Basterds – and how these insults have been translated from English into Spanish. One of the main reasons for building a corpus of this nature was to document the way Tarantino’s work is dubbed, and, using concrete examples, to describe the reality of translation and provide linguistic material with which to study dubbing, the most widespread translation modality in Spain. In an analysis of this nature, Tarantino’s films offer an interesting opportunity from a social perspective because of the exceptional number of insults they contain: 1526 insults have been recorded, classified and analysed in the preparation for this book. The magnitude of this figure is evidence of Tarantino’s constant use of swearwords, regardless of what his audiences might think, and whether or not they might sometimes prefer not to hear such a steady stream of foul language. Furthermore, his popularity has been achieved precisely because he refuses to allow distribution companies to alter his dialogues in any way, or modify the violence of his scenes, making Tarantino’s films of particular interest to the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Stevens, a professional in the field of advertising, suffers through another steamy Midwest summer and the grueling hours of his job, only to realize he's on the edge of physical and psychological burnout. Confronting the situation, he arranges a short vacation to help reestablish some balance in his life. Involved in a rather questionable relationship at the time, Stevens' significant other gives strong opposition to his taking a solo vacation. Despite her objection, he accepts an offer from an old friend to meet at an event in the Southwest. He also arranges an overnight trek on horseback into a land that has always captivated his curious mind. Stepping away from the pressures of his job and a hectic urban environment, he responds to the forces of nature and confronts certain issues in his life. Stevens also examines the illusions of the contemporary world he helped to create through his professional endeavors. During a one-on-one tour of a remote canyon, Stevens finds his hired guide doubles as a spiritual mentor helping him to see things in a new light. Plagued by unnatural and supernatural events on their journey, he develops a strong bond with this guide. He then returns home -- life turned upside-down from his vacation experience. Back in his usual environment, Stevens soon realizes he brought home an intangible souvenir determined to change him, so he not only struggles with the unexplainable anomalies he encountered on his trip, but deals with a force that is relentlessly acting on him to alter his ways. Over the course of a few months a battle ensues in Stevens' mind between his comfort zone and the unknowns that go with the challenge of a brave new life. He winds up faced with some very tough choices in order to seek the happiness he's been longing for.
