Book Synopsis Seductive Delusions by : Jill Grimes
Download or read book Seductive Delusions written by Jill Grimes and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexually active young people urgently need this book. A 2009 Book of the Year, USA Book News “It can’t happen to me.” Many high school students and young adults, seduced by their sense of invincibility, are stunned when they are diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI). But the fact is that anyone can catch an STI: no age group, social class, economic class, culture, religion, gender, or ethnic group is immune. To drive home the risks and realities of unprotected sex, Dr. Jill Grimes shares real-life stories of young people—medical students, college freshmen, teenagers, young parents, talented entrepreneurs—who have gotten an STI. Dr. Grimes narrates the story of Liz, who got syphilis; Sofia, diagnosed with gonorrhea and chlamydia; and Zoe, with pubic lice. She describes how Justin got herpes, Sean got trichomoniasis, and Luke contracted hepatitis C. The accounts of these young men and women and their exam-room conversations with their doctors evoke both the physical symptoms and complicated emotional reactions that often go together with infection. Fact sheets throughout the book explain each sexually transmitted infection and answer frequently asked questions about symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Used in high schools for the past five years, this new edition of Seductive Delusions shows how technological advances have speeded doctor-patient communication, including test results and treatment recommendations. It explains simplified STI testing, explores the frighteningly high incidence of date sexual assault, examines dramatic changes in cervical cancer prevention and Pap tests, and clarifies why HPV vaccines are now routinely recommended for all children—boys and girls. Whether reading the book from cover to cover or jumping directly to a specific disease, readers will relate to the dramatic stories while learning medically reliable information. Making emotionally and physically safe decisions about sex is easier when you know how STIs are spread, how to avoid getting one, what their symptoms are, and how they are diagnosed and treated.

Book excerpt: In Seductive Delusions, Gerard Henry addresses one of the most important topics of this millennium--sexuality and the new sexual ethic. Henry emphasizes how the bombardment of sexual images on TV, billboards, the Internet and other forms of media continually assaults the message of abstinence. In response, Henry walks readers through a mine field of lies while shining light on the truth as he speaks to the issues of lust and love, marriage and commitment, premarital sex and STDS, sexual attitudes and self-respect.

Book Synopsis Calvinist Humor in American Literature by : Michael Dunne
Download or read book Calvinist Humor in American Literature written by Michael Dunne and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the phrase "Calvinist humor" may seem to be an oxymoron, Michael Dunne, in highly original and unfailingly interesting readings of major American fiction writers, uncovers and traces two recurrent strands of Calvinist humor descending from Puritan times far into the twentieth century. Calvinist doctrine views mankind as fallen, apt to engage in any number of imperfect behaviors. Calvinist humor, Dunne explains, consists in the perception of this imperfection. When we perceive that only others are imperfect, we participate in the form of Calvinist humor preferred by William Bradford and Nathanael West. When we perceive that others are imperfect, as we all are, we participate in the form preferred by Mark Twain and William Faulkner, for example. Either by noting their characters' inferiority or by observing ways in which we are all far from perfect, Dunne observes, American writers have found much to laugh about and many occasions for Calvinist humor. The two strains of Calvinist humor are alike in making the faults of others more important than their virtues. They differ in terms of what we might think of as the writer/perceiver's disposition: his or her willingness to recognize the same faults in him- or herself. In addition to Bradford, West, Twain and Faulkner, Dunne discovers Calvinist humor in the works of Flannery O'Connor, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ernest Hemingway, and many others. For these authors, the world -- and thus their fiction -- is populated with flawed creatures. Even after belief in orthodox Calvinism diminished in the twentieth century, Dunne discovers, American writers continued to mine these veins, irrespective of the authors' religious affiliations -- or lack of them. Dunne notes that even when these writers fail to accept the Calvinist view wholeheartedly, they still have a tendency to see some version of Calvinism as more attractive than an optimistic, idealistic view of life. With an eye for the telling detail and a wry humor of his own, Dunne clearly demonstrates that the fundamental Calvinist assumption -- that human beings are fallen from some putatively better state -- has had a surprising, lingering presence in American literature.
Book Synopsis An Extraordinarily Quirky Anthology of the Uncanny and Rum by : Penfold Dax
Download or read book An Extraordinarily Quirky Anthology of the Uncanny and Rum written by Penfold Dax and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who but "Penfold Dax" could write a collection of poetry titled An extraordinarily quirky anthology of the uncanny and rum: The random musings and observations from a schizophrenic mind? According to Penfold: "I started writing poetry a few years ago as a tool to help me manage the effects of schizophrenia. This method of utilizing occupational practices to aid my coping abilities is called occupational therapy and it is widely used in the field of mental health care. At first I started writing just for personal reasons, and I only saw it as a personal hobby to aid my own health. I found that writing or any form of artistic expression was extremely affective in doing so. Over a period of time I developed my own personal style, and after receiving very positive feedback from the people that I showed my work to, I decided to take writing poetry more seriously, resulting in the collection in this book." An extraordinarily quirky anthology presents a collection of poetry with both a serious and humorous take on a wide range of random subjects. You will discover many colorful characters in the book, including Fredrick Brumble, Col. Switherskew, Shadow man, Stan the waffling man, and many more in humorous, awkward, and bizarre situations and circumstances. You will also discover the serious side of life as well as mental illness issues and matters of the heart. Yes, the book is quirky! It will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, but drop you off safely at the end. First-time author Penfold Dax lives in England.Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/PenfoldDax

Book Synopsis The Postcolonial Intellectual by : Oliver Lovesey
Download or read book The Postcolonial Intellectual written by Oliver Lovesey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing a neglected dimension in postcolonial scholarship, Oliver Lovesey examines the figure of the postcolonial intellectual as repeatedly evoked by the fabled troika of Said, Spivak, and Bhabha and by members of the pan-African diaspora such as Cabral, Fanon, and James. Lovesey’s primary focus is Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, one of the greatest writers of post-independence Africa. Ngũgĩ continues to be a vibrant cultural agitator and innovator who, in contrast to many other public intellectuals, has participated directly in grassroots cultural renewal, enduring imprisonment and exile as a consequence of his engagement in political action. Lovesey’s comprehensive study concentrates on Ngũgĩ’s non-fictional prose writings, including his largely overlooked early journalism and his most recent autobiographical and theoretical work. He offers a postcolonial critique that acknowledges Ngũgĩ’s complex position as a virtual spokesperson for the oppressed and global conscience who now speaks from a location of privilege. Ngũgĩ’s writings, Lovesey shows, display a seemingly paradoxical consistency in their concerns over nearly five decades at the same time that there have been enormous transformations in his ideology and a shift in his focus from Africa’s holocaust to Africa’s renaissance. Lovesey argues that Ngũgĩ’s view of the intellectual has shifted from an alienated, nearly neocolonial stance to a position that allows him to celebrate intellectual activism and a return to the model of the oral vernacular intellectual even as he challenges other global intellectuals. Tracing the development of this notion of the postcolonial intellectual, Lovesey argues for Ngũgĩ’s rightful position as a major postcolonial theorist who helped establish postcolonial studies.

Book Synopsis Philosophical Delusion and Its Therapy by : Eugen Fischer
Download or read book Philosophical Delusion and Its Therapy written by Eugen Fischer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophical Delusion and its Therapy provides new foundations and methods for the revolutionary project of philosophical therapy pioneered by Ludwig Wittgenstein. With the help of concepts adapted from cognitive linguistics and cognitive psychology, the book analyses how philosophical reflection is shaped by pictures and metaphors we are not aware of employing and are prone to misapply. Through innovative case-studies on the genesis of classical problems about the mind and perception, and on thinkers including Locke, Berkeley and Ayer, the book demonstrates how such autonomous habits of thought systematically generate unsound intuitions and philosophical delusions.

Book Synopsis Sexually Transmitted Disease [2 volumes] by : Jill Ann Grimes MD
Download or read book Sexually Transmitted Disease [2 volumes] written by Jill Ann Grimes MD and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 951 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This up-to-date, two-volume work provides A-Z coverage of all topics related to sexually transmitted disease, ranging from anatomy to modern legal and social implications to past and present methods of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Sexually transmittable diseases are a sensitive and embarrassing subject. Many sexually transmitted diseases are silent, providing no symptoms until they cause serious medical problems. But with one in four Americans over the age of fourteen being infected with a sexually transmitted infection, the topic of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is a highly relevant health issue. This work contains over 230 entries that span the history and wide range of topics regarding STDs, from the birth of condoms over 3,000 years ago through discovery of the infectious agents and the invention of effective vaccines to the legal and societal implications of STDs. This two-volume encyclopedia investigates the spectrum of sexually transmitted diseases and related topics and issues, describing their microscopic origins, the chronology of research and medical treatment, the body parts affected, and the modern-day methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of spread. Additionally, this work addresses legal implications of disease transmission, psychosocial impacts, as well as long-term medical consequences such as potential infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and chronic pelvic pain.

This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a comprehensive framework for the broad subject of human sexuality, this two-volume set offers a context of historical development, scientific discovery, and sociopolitical and sociocultural movements. The broad topic of sex—encompassing subjects as varied as sexuality, sexual and gender identity, abortion, and such crimes as sexual assault—is one of the most controversial in American society today. This two-volume encyclopedic set provides readers with more than 450 entries on the subject, offering a comprehensive overview of major sexuality issues in American and global culture. Themes that run throughout the volumes include sexual health and reproduction, sexual identity and orientation, sexual behaviors and expression, the history of sex and sexology, and sex and society. Entries cover a breadth of subjects, such as the major contributors to the field of sexology; the biological, psychological, and cultural dimensions of sex and sexuality; and how the modern-day political climate and the government play a major role in determining attitudes and beliefs about sex. Written in clear, jargon-free language, this set is ideal for students as well as general readers.
Book Synopsis The Anecdotal Narration and Encyclopedic Thought of Pliny the Elder’s Naturalis Historia by : Ágnes Darab
Download or read book The Anecdotal Narration and Encyclopedic Thought of Pliny the Elder’s Naturalis Historia written by Ágnes Darab and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pliny the Elder’s Naturalis Historia, with its varied content, enables and expects the reader to employ a complex interpretative technique. One aspect of Pliny’s diction is that he often interrupts the discussions of topics with digressions and begins to address something that seemingly has nothing to do with the subject. The hypothesis suggested by this book is that these digressions that occur in different places and in great number throughout the text of Naturalis Historia should not be regarded as mistakes fragmenting the encyclopedia’s structure. Most of these digressions are anecdotes. Researching the aetiological anecdotes, and those about the life of animals, famous persons from political or intellectual life, and the most important Greek painters and sculptors requires the application of different perspectives. When we approach anecdotes from the perspective of narrative techniques, the role of the stories as exempla becomes clearer, and its further aspects can be spotted. This book also draws attention to Pliny the writer, an aspect of the text that has been contested until very recently.

This book was released on 2022-12-25 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ["Version: Dec 2022"] ► OVERVIEW: ♦ An "information-including medicine" is a material that the rendition of its respective physical information via a certain part of the living system termed "parallel body" leads to its corresponding biotic qualities in the living being. Viremedy, homeopathic medicines, and the so-called intentional healing medicines are among such medicines. ♦ Viremedy, as a basic remedy, could raise the vitality of the living creature within the framework of its nature. A rise in vitality means "a general increase in the fulfillment degree of biotic capabilities, such as resistance (resilience) to exogenous and endogenous stresses, in the broad sense". This basic remedy improves the natural regulatory and healing operations. ♦ In this text, allowing for the related facts and experiments, "the Physical Essence" and "the Mechanisms of the Actions" of information-including medicines have been generally explicated by putting forward a working theory. Additionally, "Viremedy", "its Origin", and some relevant topics have been presented. These topics are also included: "Some Controlled Experiments Conducted About any Effects of Viremedy on Vitality"; "Some Points About the Holistic Healing Process Actuated by Viremedy Use"; "Some Application Methods of Viremedy"; "The Possible Use of Other Treatments Together With Viremedy". (What is entitled the "Improved Homeopathy" has been briefly introduced in this synopsis as well.) ♦♦ As a rule, facts, rather than words, are the final judge. /●●●/ ► Information-including medicines are broadly used in practice in some therapeutic modalities like homeopathy, etc. ♦ There are controversial discussions about such medicines and the related topics. For instance, in view of the high dilution of homeopathic medicines, sometimes beyond Avogadro’s Limit, some scholars have considered them the inert substances called Placebo, having no specific virtue! Oppositely, some others have counted homeopathy as a credible therapeutic modality. ♦ Here, regarding an interdisciplinary approach, "the Physical Essence" and "the Mechanisms of the Actions" of information-including medicines have been generally clarified by putting forward a comprehensive theory. In light of this theory, the related facts can be explained and the results of some related experiences can be methodically predicted. Allowing for this theory, we can also find suitable ways for "the reproduction and the reinforcement of the special information-including remedy named Viremedy", "keeping this remedy in appropriate conditions", "the various methods of Viremedy application", and "the apposite application of other treatments, like homeopathic treatments, together with this remedy". ♦ Viremedy is Not a Monopolistic Production or Finding of any Person or Group. ♦♦ Most of all, facts, like the results of the appropriate controlled experiences suitably designed and performed to correctly evaluate the degree of vitality, are the final judge. /●●●/ ► SOME RELATED DOMAINS: Health and Medical Sciences, Integrative Medicine, Holistic Medicine, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Parallel Body Medicine, Information Medicine, So-called Energy Medicine, Homeopathy, Improved Homeopathy, Healing, Natural Medicine (Naturopathic Med.), Vitherapy, Holism, Information-including Medicines, Modern Physics, Evidence-based Medicine /●●●/ NOTIFICATION: ►► This book in paperback and Kindle formats can be bought from "AMAZON". ♦♦ All sales revenue of the book, the author’s share, will be spent on the activities involving Viremedy and the related matters like accomplishing the studies, improving Viremedy use, etc. - Citation: Esmaeili, Kamyar: «Information-including Medicines; Physics and Mechanism of Action (With Emphasis on "Viremedy") A Synopsis [Subtitle: Viremedy, Homeopathic Medicines, and the So-called Intentional Healing Medicines]».
