Astrology Alive: A Guide to Experiential Astrology and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schermer, Barbara, PUBLISHER: Crossing Press, We usually associate serious astrology with maps and angles and arcane terminology. Barbara Schermer gives us dance, music, art, and drama...exercises, rituals, meditations, and games. Astrology Alive is an entertaining book, valuable for the seasoned astrologer as well as the novice. It breathes life into the signs and planets by teaching us playful ways to experience their archetypal power. But it's fun with a purpose, helping us to better understand and meet the challenges posed by our own horoscopes. In her work, Schermer acknowledges the debt that experiential astrology owes to the psychology of Cad Jung and the humanistic astrology of Dane Rudhyar. She also makes the case for its ancient connection to Florentine renaissance man Marsilio Ficino, who synthesized philosophy, theology, magic, medicine, music, art, and astrology in his own "proto-psychology."

Biosciences : Current Aspects and Prospects Into the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pasternak, Charles A., PUBLISHER: World Scientific Publishing Company, As the new millennium approaches, it is appropriate to ask how far medicine and the life sciences have brought us, and to wonder how specific fields will develop over the next decade or so. This volume gathers together a number of leading scientists to give a bird's eye view of their field. Much of the emphasis is on cancer, microbial infections and immunology, because these are some of the most rapidly advancing areas of research. However, the book is wide-ranging and interdisciplinary, and covers topics as diverse as reproductive health technology, animal-to-human transplants, drug resistance, non-invasive diagnosis by magnetic resonance, novel membrane technology, and carbon nanotubes. The graduate student faced with a decision regarding his or her future topic of research could do worse than browse through this collection of articles by experts in the field.

The Politics of Anxiety in Nineteenth-Century American

The Politics of Anxiety in Nineteenth-Century American

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Murison, Justine S., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, For much of the nineteenth century, the nervous system was a medical mystery, inspiring scientific studies and exciting great public interest. Because of this widespread fascination, the nerves came to explain the means by which mind and body related to each other. By the s, the nervous system helped Americans express the consequences on the body, and for society, of major historical changes. Literary writers, including Nathaniel Hawthorne and Harriet Beecher Stowe, used the nerves as a metaphor to re-imagine the role of the self amidst political, social and religious tumults, including debates about slavery and the revivals of the Second Great Awakening. Representing the 'romance' of the nervous system and its cultural impact thoughtfully and, at times, critically, the fictional experiments of this century helped construct and explore a neurological vision of the body and mind. Murison explains the impact of neurological medicine on nineteenth-century literature and culture. Acquista Ora

Improving the Quality of Cancer Clinical Trials: Workshop

Improving the Quality of Cancer Clinical Trials: Workshop

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Patlak, Margie / Nass, Sharyl, PUBLISHER: National Academies Press, Scientists and clinicians seek a new paradigm that could improve the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall success rate of cancer clinical trials, while maintaining the highest standards of quality. To explore innovative paradigms for cancer clinical trials and other ways to improve their quality, the National Cancer Policy Forum held a workshop, Improving the Quality of Cancer Clinical Trials, in Washington, DC. The main goals of the workshop were to examine new approaches to clinical trial design and execution that would: (1) better inform decisions and plans of those responsible for developing new cancer therapies (2) more rapidly move new diagnostic tests and treatments toward regulatory approval and use in the clinic (3) be less costly than current trials The resulting workshop summary will serve as input to the deliberations of an Institute of Medicine committee that will develop consensus-based recommendations for moving the field of cancer clinical trials forward.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bailyn, Bernard / Denault, Patricia L. / Behrendt, Stephen D., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, These innovative essays probe the underlying unities that bound the early modern Atlantic world into a regional whole and trace some of the intellectual currents that flowed through the lives of the people of the four continents. Drawn together in a comprehensive Introduction by Bernard Bailyn, the essays include analyses of the climate and ecology that underlay the slave trade, pan-Atlantic networks of religion and of commerce, legal and illegal, inter-ethnic collaboration in the development of tropical medicine, science as a product of imperial relations, the Protestant international that linked Boston and pietist Germany, and the awareness and meaning of the Atlantic world in the mind of that preeminent intellectual and percipient observer, David Hume. In his Introduction Bailyn explains that the Atlantic world was never self-enclosed or isolated from the rest of the globe but suggests that experiences in the early modern Atlantic region were distinctive in ways that shaped the course of world history.

Prevention in General Practice

Prevention in General Practice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fowler, Godfrey / Gray, J. A. / Anderson, Peter, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Spectacular advances in therapeutic medicine have not diminished the need for prevention, and there is widespread acknowledgment that avoidance of disability and premature death often depends on prevention rather than cure. There is also recognition that family practice has a key role to play in this, because of the opportunities it provides for influencing the future well-being of large numbers of individuals. Since the first edition of this book was published, the scope for prevention has become more clearly defined, and the evidence for effectiveness better established. The second edition has therefore been completely rewritten. It assesses the evidence for prevention effectiveness in relation to the major causes of disability and premature death, describes what measures should be taken, and gives practical guidance on carrying them out. Although aimed primarily at family practitioners, this book will also be of value to medical students, public health professionals and policy makers.
