Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With thirty-five years of clinical experience as a Canadian family physician and a master's degree in bioethics, Barry explores the practice of medicine like a scientist studying a new-found species: Homo sapiens. Using countless anonymized clinical stories, he leads the reader through an exploration not only of the health care system but the human condition as well. Going right back to the big bang, he takes the reader on a search for how we got here, who we are now and where we might be heading as human beings attempting to care for one another in a complex world. Be warned: Barry breaks down a lot of barriers in his investigation of what makes us tick. Expect to be surprised, entertained, and challenged. And be prepared for outside-the-box thinking, where nothing is out of bounds, not even death. All profits of this book are being donated to individuals needing financial assistance to attend addiction rehabilitation facilities.
Book Synopsis Mortal Musings: Waiting for Dawn by : John Wait
Download or read book Mortal Musings: Waiting for Dawn written by John Wait and published by BLKDOG Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many of us, cancer is an inescapable reality. It is estimated that one in two people will be affected by the disease during their life. ‘Mortal Musings: Waiting for Dawn’ is a moving, thought-provoking and intensely personal account of one man’s journey. In October 2016 my indigestion turned out to be cancer. A few days later, the news got worse when it was discovered my cancer was not only rare and incurable, but it was Stage IV and I likely had only a few months to live. A death sentence like that naturally makes you think about your own mortality and what lies beyond. But I was not about to give in to the inevitable. I refused to believe in a no-win scenario. People say it is always darkest before the dawn, so I set about waiting for the sunrise. Being impatient, I did everything I could to hurry it along. Mortal Musings is about my fight -- physically, mentally and spiritually. It is about hope, faith and denial, how the cancer impacted my life and the lives of those around me, my treatments and the emotional struggle I endured. But it also delves into speculation about what lies ahead, beyond this mortal coil. That I am still here, three years later, is a miracle. That I am now cancer free is even more amazing. As Jimmy Valvano said, “don’t give up, don’t ever give up.” And I didn’t. **** “A must-read for anyone affected by this life-changing disease.” – Bethan White, Fade “A powerful testimony of how all of us must accept our own mortality.” – Richard Denham, Arthur: Shadow of a God

Book Synopsis Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine Considered by : David W. Ramey
Download or read book Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine Considered written by David W. Ramey and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-01-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine Considered is a book that belongs in your veterinary library. If you are a veterinarian wondering if you should incorporate complementary and alternative veterinary medicine (CAVM) into your practice, if you have recently hired an associate eager to try such things as acupuncture or homeopathy, or if you have clients asking you about chiropractic, herbal, or magnetic field therapy for their pets, you’ll want to understand the history, science and ethics behind such therapies. In its 2001 Guidelines for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) recognizes the growing interest in CAVM, and encourages the critical examination of these therapies using the scientific method. Following the AVMA’s lead on this subject, Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine Considered thoroughly examines a variety of CAVM therapies and asks important questions regarding alternative treatments. For example, is acupuncture effective in pain relief? What is homeopathy? What is the history behind chiropractic? What does the research say (and not say) about various CAVM modalities? And, just as importantly, what are the ethical and regulatory considerations concerning such therapies? This book has the answers to those questions and more. Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine Considered will help practicing veterinarians to make informed decisions about specific CAVM therapies. This text evaluates various prevalent therapies, and will give veterinarians the ethical and scientific bases they need to make sound decisions regarding CAVM therapies Coverage includes but is not limited to: Acupuncture and acupressure; Energy medicine; Manual therapy (chiropractic); Manual therapy (massage); Magnetic and electromagnetic therapy; Laser and light therapy; Homeopathy; and Herbal therapy.
Book Synopsis This Is How You Die by : Matthew Bennardo
Download or read book This Is How You Die written by Matthew Bennardo and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If a machine could predict how you would die, would you want to know? This is the tantalizing premise of This Is How You Die, the brilliant follow-up anthology to the self-published bestseller, Machine of Death. THIS IS HOW YOU DIE Stories of the Inscrutable, Infallible, Inescapable Machine of Death The machines started popping up around the world. The offer was tempting: with a simple blood test, anyone could know how they would die. But the machines didn't give dates or specific circumstances-just a single word or phrase. DROWNED, CANCER, OLD AGE, CHOKED ON A HANDFUL OF POPCORN. And though the predictions were always accurate, they were also often frustratingly vague. OLD AGE, it turned out, could mean either dying of natural causes, or being shot by an elderly, bedridden man in a botched home invasion. The machines held onto that old-world sense of irony in death: you can know how it's going to happen, but you'll still be surprised when it does. This addictive anthology--sinister, witty, existential, and fascinating--collects the best of the thousands of story submissions the editors received in the wake of the success of the first volume, and exceeds the first in every way.

Book Synopsis Dinosaur Enlightenment by : Duane Nash
Download or read book Dinosaur Enlightenment written by Duane Nash and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several decades a glut of new information has created a golden era in dinosaur studies. While the scientific methodology underpinning this sustained revolution has been robust, myopic tendencies have created entrenched gaps in our idea making and narrative creation. This book is a bold attempt to fill in some of these narrative blank spots, often times in strange, unexpected, and utilitarian ways. Nash offers a customized "bounded speculation" approach to his idea making, resulting in a breadth of new thought for dinosaurs including their anatomy, physiology, ecology, diet, biting technique, soft tissue and reproductive strategies. Not since Robert Bakker's Dinosaur Heresies has a dinosaur book offered such a bold, compelling, vast and visceral shotgun blast to not only dinosaur establishment, but academia and the Neo-liberal culture underpinning. Nash seamlessly blends the kaiju/archetypal sensibility of dinosaurs with their biological and ecological reality but suggests that this blending is not only unavoidable but ultimately useful. Dinosaur Enlightenment is a book that can be seen on many levels and in many directions all at once. And in era of ecological, environmental, social, and political disruption Dinosaur Enlightenment offers the hint of an unexpected, but strangely familiar, path forward.
