Very good. ISBN 10: 0805042083 "Unlike ancient cultures that prized the wrinkled faces of the elderly, we worship supermodels' smooth, expressionless skin and spend billions on cosmetics to achieve a youthful look. The human skin-its anatomy, physiology, diseases, racial connotations, its physical and symbolic role as our boundary with the outer world-is the subject of this involving, often eloquent study by science writer Lappe (Chemical Deception: The Toxic Threat to Health and the Environment). Considered a mirror of inner wellness in traditional Chinese medicine, and a vulnerable shield or a trophy in Greek mythology, the skin is today increasingly recognized as a permeable system, and recent research suggests that it has its own built-in, autonomous immune defenses. Lappe chronicles skin diseases from smallpox in ancient Egypt to modern epidemics of skin cancer, acne, vitiligo and psoriasis. He documents the hazards of silicone injections, ultraviolet lamps, excessive suntanning and chemicals in factories and farms, and alerts us to the potential dangers of cosmetic products such as soaps, lotions, moisturizers and skin tighteners.

Editorial Revie ws From Publishers Weekly Prevention and self-care are the watch words for this hefty health manual by a Seattle physician whose p ractice combines conventional and alternative medicine. Golan exa mines the underlying causes of chronic ailments, which he dubs th e Ten Common Denominators of Illness. Dietary hazards and nutriti onal deficiencies receive the greatest attention; most of the oth er sources of illness he lists are also diet-related, e.g., toxic bowel, food allergies. In another section, he offers an alphabet ical list of 100 common ailments from abscesses to water retentio n, identifying symptoms, common causes and suggested treatments a nd preventive measures for each. While approaches to wellness occ asionally include conventional medical treatment, most are recomm endations for dietary changes, herbal remedies and nutritional su pplements. Although Golan, who teaches naturopathic medicine, sli ghts other alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, chiropract ic and massage, his holistic approach will appeal to those frustr ated by the disease-oriented approach of conventional medicine. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Jour nal Holistic physician Golan provides here a detailed compilation of self-care methods from both New Age and age-old approaches. H is focus is on developing health rather than fixing disease. Chap ters cover fasting, herbal therapies, acupuncture, homeopathy, na tural immunity, improved diet, environmental health, and detoxifi cation. Golan also includes a master symptom survey to identify c onditions for which modern medicine has no cure, offering specifi c guidance in using alternative methods to create optimal wellnes s. This useful health reference is recommended for public librari es.?Valerie Vaughan, Hatfield P.L., Mass. Copyright 1995 Reed Bus iness Information, Inc. From Booklist By means of a mixture of c ommonsense advice, concise definitions, and comforting bromides, Golan melds New Age health strategies and practices with responsi ble conventional medical care. Probably more useful to true belie vers and those sympathetic to New Age culture, his big book may s erve well as both a small library's one resource on wellness and a larger collection's most accessible book on the point where mai nstream and alternative medicine meet. Including copious bibliogr aphical references, many nice mnemonic touches, and plenty of han dy tables and charts, the comprehensive tome is just the thing to help those seeking wellness avail themselves of it.

Pandora's Poison presents a solution to one of the most insidious environmental problems of our time: the global build-up of toxic chemicals. Everywhere on the planet, hundreds of industrial chemicals called organochlorines are accumulating in the environment, the food supply, and our bodies. These substances--such infamous pollutants as dioxins, PCBs, and DDT, along with thousands of lesser-known hazards--are produced when chlorine gas is used to make plastics, paper, pesticides, and many industrial chemicals. In a thorough and accessible analysis, biologist Joe Thornton shows how global organochlorine pollution is already contributing to infertility, immune suppression, cancer, and developmental disorders in humans and wildlife.Thornton proposes a major shift in environmental science and policy. He shows that the current framework radically overestimates the ability of science and technology to address the complex global hazards of chemical mixtures. And he reveals how the "sound science" that dominates environmental regulations disguises political biases that protect polluters and gamble with public health.Articulating principles for a new environmental strategy, Thornton shows that the only practical solution is to take global action on broad classes of hazardous chemicals and the processes that produce them, starting with organochlorines. He lays out a democratically controlled program to replace the production and use of chlorine gas and its derivatives with safer, effective, and economically feasible alternatives, which are already available for the majority of chlorine uses. With an innovative interdisiciplinary approach, Pandora's Poison promises to revolutionize the debate over pollution, health, and the role of science in public policy.., The MIT Press, 2000, 3, Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2007. Hardcover. Like New/Fine. 6x0x9. New evidence seems to arrive daily--from stories about tainted pet food to toxic toys--of the dangerous consequences that lax environmental policies are having on the consumer products that we, and our children, use every day thanks to lobbying efforts by the U.S. chemical industry.Meanwhile, the European Union is forcing these global corporate giants to chart a new path that, by requiring safe products, is revamping how businesses can create safe products and make money.In Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power investigative journalist Mark Schapiro takes the reader inside the corridors of global power where tectonic battles are occurring that will impact the health of ourselves and the planet.Schapiro's expos© shows how laws adopted by the European Union--where stricter consumer-safety standards are in place--have forced multinationals into manufacturing safer products. And, short of such strong government action the United States will lose its claim of economic and environmental supremacy.Increasingly, products developed and sold in the United States are equated with serious health hazards, and many of those products are soon to be banned from Europe and other parts of the world.Schapiro's revelations in this thought-provoking work will change the way American consumers think about everyday products--from plastic softeners that can contribute to sexual malformations to lipstick additives that are potential toxins to the brain, liver, kidneys, and immune system. And it will stir them into forcing our government to take the lead of others, including the European Union, China, and countries in Central and South America.Exposed is a revealing and fascinating look at global markets, everyday products, and the toxic chemicals that bind them. It will shock, inform, and warn American businesses and government leaders about the risks of being left behind in the international marketplace., Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2007, 5, Mit Press, 2001.

Avery Publishing Group, 2020 New The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr B," illuminates in this groundbreaking book, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health What studies clearly now show--and what Dr B preaches with his patients--is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from an abundant variety of colorful plantsForget about the fiber your grandmother used to take--the cutting-edge science on fiber is incredibly exciting As Dr B explains, fiber energizes our gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are essential to our health SCFAs are scientifically proven to promote weight loss, repair leaky gut, strengthen the microbiome, optimize the immune system, reduce food sensitivities, lower cholesterol, reverse type 2 diabetes, improve brain function, and even prevent cancer Restrictive fad diets starve the gut of the critical fiber we need, weaken the microbes, and make our system vulnerableAs a former junk-food junkie, Dr B knows firsthand the power of fiber to dramatically transform our health The good news is that our guts can be trained Fiber-rich, real foods--with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes--start working quickly and maintain your long-term health, promote weight loss, and allow you to thrive and feel great from the inside out With a 28-day jumpstart program with menus and more than 65 recipes, along with essential advice on food sensitivities, Fiber Fueled offers the blueprint to start turbocharging your gut for lifelong health todayWill Bulsiewicz, MD, MSCI is a board-certified, award-winning gastroenterologist He's a graduate of Georgetown University School of Medicine and was chief medical resident at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and chief gastroenterology fellow at the University of North Carolina Hospitals He's authored more than twenty articles in the top American gastroenterology journals and has been featured in Shape, Women's Health, Men's Health, and on HuffPost He lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with his wife and two children, Avery Publishing Group, 6, N.Y.: Dell Publishing Company, Inc., 1943. 1st pbk printing, September 1943.

All Vintage Paperbacks come sealed in 2.5 mil plastic bag and taped closed with removable tape which will not tear the covers if it sticks to them when the book is removed. Sara Hazard died when her car slid across the drive into the murky depths of East River. The police crossed it off as an accident until Ins.McKee of the Homicide Squad received an anonymous letter calling it murder. There was ample motive for any one of several people to put her out of the way. McKee uncovered the fact that Steven, her husband, was in love with Cristie Lansing and had asked his wife for a divorce; also, that Mrs. Hazard had some strange power over the rising young politician Clifford Somers. When Cristie came upon evidence which seemed to point to Steven’s guilt, she proposed that they be married immediately. He did not suspect that she did this to acquire immunity from having to testify against her husband. All arrangements were made when a voice from the dead changed everything. There were others in this well-to-do group of New York sophisticates whose behavior puzzled McKee. Strangest of all to McKee was the scream on Halloween night at Hazard’s farm where they were all gathered. Murder was done there too. It wasn’t, however, until McKee had the answer to that strange sound of little horses galloping that all the pieces fitted into place and a dash in the squad car prevented still another killing. .

No defects to this pristine book with glossy laminated pictorial boards. Interior text pages are flawless. No country, community, or individual is immune to the impacts of disasters. Disasters can be prepared for, responded to, and their consequences mitigated. The profession and academic discipline that addresses this management of disasters is called emergency management, and this book is designed to provide the reader with a comprehensive foundation on the history, structure, organization, systems, and concerns that shape the management of disasters and other emergencies. Contained are details and descriptions of contemporary emergency management practices and this book will provide the reader with a working knowledge of how the functions of emergency management operate and the influence they can have on everyday life. This fourth edition represents the current status of the discipline. The 2001 terrorist attacks set in motion events that changed not only the way governments address the terrorism attacks but also the way members of the public, and businesses prepare for disaster events. Popular opinion is that these actions were mostly knee-jerk and the failed response to Hurricane Katrina confirmed such fears. In 2005, we saw a national system of emergency management-once regarded as one of the most effective and emulated systems in the world, proven incompetent in responding to an event that had been long predicted, planned for, and studied: Hurricane Katrina.

New. Research physicians face intractable dilemmas when they consider introducing new medical procedures. Innovations carry the promise of preventing or curing life-threatening diseases, but they can also lead to injury or even death. How have clinical scientists made high-stakes decisions about undertaking human tests of new medical treatments? In Lesser Harms, Sydney Halpern explores this issue as she examines vaccine trials in America during the early and mid-twentieth century. Today's scientists follow federal guidelines for research on human subjects developed during the 1960s and 1970s. But long before these government regulations, medical investigators observed informal rules when conducting human research. They insisted that the dangers of natural disease should outweigh the risks of a medical intervention, and they struggled to accurately assess the relative hazards. Halpern explores this logic of risk in immunization controversies extending as far back as the eighteenth century. Then, focusing on the period between 1930 and 1960, she shows how research physicians and their sponsors debated the moral quandaries involved in moving vaccine use from the laboratory to the clinic. This probing work vividly describes the efforts of clinical investigators to balance the benefits and dangers of untested vaccines, to respond to popular sentiment about medical hazards, and to strategically present risk laden research to sponsors and the public. &quot;Concise and extremely well-written. . . .
