Encyclopedia of Weather and Climate

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Allaby, Michael / Garratt, Richard, PUBLISHER: Facts on File, From the Introduction: The weather we experience today is different from that of the Little Ice Age of the 17th century and of the Middle Ages...Today, though, there are fears that the climate may be changing faster than it has done for thousands of years and that the gases we release into the air, from our cars, factories, domestic fires, power stations, farming, and forest clearance may be accelerating that change...If we are to make informed decisions about climate change and the possibility that our activities may be partly responsible for it, we need to know something of the way the atmosphere works, of how our weather is produced.-Michael Allaby For most of history

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moalem, Sharon / Prince, Jonathan, PUBLISHER: Harper Perennial, Joining the ranks of modern myth busters, Dr. Sharon Moalem turns our current understanding of illness on its head and challenges us to fundamentally change the way we think about our bodies, our health, and our relationship to just about every other living thing on earth. Through a fresh and engaging examination of our evolutionary history, Dr. Moalem reveals how many of the conditions that are diseases today actually gave our ancestors a leg up in the survival sweepstakes. But "Survival of the Sickest" doesn't stop there. It goes on to demonstrate just how little modern medicine really understands about human health, and offers a new way of thinking that can help all of us live longer, healthier lives.

Medicine Challenged: How Greed and Abuse of Power Are Making

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sarmiento, MD Augusto / Sarmiento, Augusto, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, Medicine is experiencing crises of unprecedented proportion. This book addresses, in a critical though constructive manner, the increasing commercialization of medicine, the greed and loss of professionalism of many of its members, its excessive fragmentation into subspecialties, and the education of the physician, which is increasingly controlled by the pharmaceutical and surgical implant industry. All these factors have played a major role in the current healthcare crisis, manifested by the inexcusable millions of uninsured people, the unaffordable cost of health insurance, and the grossly inferior care the poor receive in this country. The author blames the medical profession for having contributed to the perpetuation of some of the problems, and calls its fellowship and its representative organizations to respond by correcting the flaws that are correctable, and to throw their support behind initiatives that will ensure restoration of the high moral standards that made medicine a most noble profession.

Leisure: The Basis of Culture: Including the Philosophical

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pieper, Josef / Dru, Alexander / Schall, James V., PUBLISHER: Ignatius Press, One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Josef Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial, today than it was when it first appeared more than fifty years ago. This edition also includes his work The Philosophical Act. Leisure is an attitude of the mind and a condition of the soul that fosters a capacity to perceive the reality of the world. Pieper shows that the Greeks and medieval Europeans, understood the great value and importance of leisure. He also points out that religion can be born only in leisure -- a leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. Pieper maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for non-activity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture -- and ourselves.

Romance, Poetry, and Surgical Sleep: Literature Influences

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Papper, E. M., PUBLISHER: Greenwood Press, Pain and suffering, once associated with punishment for sin, became regarded as a purposeless evil that was hostile to human welfare. The works of Thomas Beddoes, Coleridge, and Shelley embody the change in attitude toward suffering and lay the groundwork for the general use of anesthesia in modern medicine. Papper contends that there was no real societal readiness to treat or prevent pain until the idea of the worth of the common man or woman was established by the upheaval of the French Revolution. The humanitarian concepts that we take for granted were relatively recent developments in Western society and were associated with the recognition of the importance of the individual.

The Name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast and 666 Identification

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Franklin, Frederick E., PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, This book is an addition to our book, "The Name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast." In that book, we provided you with the name of the (Anti-Christ) Beast and how the person that we named fits the description given to us in the Holy Bible. We also said in that book that God had told us who the (Anti-Christ) Beast was at least twenty times. That book was produced from Chapter 1 of our second book. The title of our second book is "What God Is Now Telling His Prophets About The End Times." As of December, , we know of only two others that God has revealed who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is. We believe that one of those who told us that God had shown him who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is was an angel. For very many years, theologians and so-called prophecy teachers have diligently tried to figure out who the (Anti-Christ) Beast is. For those of you who do not understand, the so-called Anti-Christ is who the Holy Bible refers to as a man that will, during a period in the near future, reign over the entire earth. This time is the (3) three and one half year period of the Great Tribulation. He will be worshipped as God, but he will be Satan that has possessed an evil man that desired to be worshipped as God. All will worship this devil except God's people that will endure until the end, those that will be in the rapture.

The Power of Kindness: The Unexpected Benefits of Leading a

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ferrucci, Piero / Ferrucci, Vivien Reid, PUBLISHER: Jeremy P. Tarcher, Piero Ferrucci warns against the dangers of "global cooling." As the pace of living grows faster and the impact of new technologies more insistent, communications become hurried and impersonal. The drive for profit overrides the heart. Warmth and genuine presence fade. "The Power of Kindness" is a stirring examination of a simple but profound concept. Piero Ferrucci, one of the world's most respected transpersonal psychologists, explores the many surprising facets of kindness and argues that it is this trait that will not only lead to our own individual happiness and the happiness of those around us, but will guide us in a world that has become cold, anxious, difficult, and frightening. In eighteen interlocking chapters, Dr. Ferrucci reveals that the kindest people are the most likely to thrive, to enable others to thrive, and to slowly but steadily turn our world away from violence, self-centeredness, and narcissism- and toward love. Writing with a rare combination of sensitivity and intellectual depth, Dr. Ferrucci shows that, ultimately, kindness is not a luxury in our world but rather a necessity for us all.
