Paperback. Condizione: Gut. Gebraucht - Gut Leichte Lagerspuren -In a powerful blending of memoir and practical strategies from a medical doctor's perspective, The Gift of Caring: Saving Our Parents - and ourselves - from the Perils of Modern Healthcare reveals the hidden side of modern healthcare practices for aging Americans. This ground-breaking book, co-written by award-winning author Marcy Houle and nationally-recognized geriatrician and public health advocate, Elizabeth Eckstrom MD MPH, sheds new light on aging by showing it from twin perspectives: the story of a daughter desperately seeking help for the parents she loves, and a geriatrician who offers life-changing strategies that can protect our loved ones and ourselves. Today, for many older adults, the medical delivery system is confusing, fragmented, and ill-equipped to provide comprehensive, person-centered care. Under our current healthcare model, thousands of aging persons face unnecessary suffering, hospitalizations and nursing home stays, and even preventable death. Seniors and families often feel powerless as they travel this sad journey. Not having knowledge of aging's changes, they resign themselves to believing there is nothing anyone can do to help, while some health care professionals simply write off symptoms seniors endure as 'just old age.' But as Marcy Houle discovered in caring for her parents, many of the problems often are not 'just old age.' Further, the real issue is not that the answers to ease suffering don't exist. Rather, what we need to know is generally not available to the general public. Even more concerning, many health care professionals have had little or no training in the care of older adults. The Gift of Caring hopes to change that. It is written to give empowerment to all older adults, family members, and health care professionals, by sharing much needed knowledge and practical strategies. The Gift of Caring shows the best ways to advocate for our parent's health care . and our own . by giving us the tools we need to insist upon the better way. Your parents and you deserve the best healthcare as you age- But there are so many reasons why that's not happening.You can change that. 338 pp. Englisch.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Leichte Lagerspuren -The Tamils have an unbroken history of more than two thousand years. Tamil, the language they speak, is one of the oldest living languages in the world. The only people comparable to the Tamils in terms of their hoary past and vibrant present would be the Jews with one marked difference. The Tamils have always had their homeland 'Tamilaham' (alternately pronounced and spelt 'Tamizhaham') known today as Tamil Nadu which to them represents their mother and is revered by them as 'Tamizh Tai' literally 'Tamil Mother'. This is in striking contrast to the Jews who have been through a long and arduous struggle to gain their homeland, a deeply contested site to this day with Hebrewisation of Israel being a key marker of Jewish identity in the region. Tamils, by contrast have a clear numerical majority in the region that now comprises Tamil Nadu and the language unites rather than divides adherents of different faiths. The second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Tamils contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Tamils. 518 pp. Englisch.…

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times called him âone of the unsung heroes of modern times. â Fazle Hasan Abed was a mild-mannered accountant who may be the most influential man most people have never even heard of. As the founder of BRAC, his work had a profound impact on the lives of millions. A former finance executive with almost no experience in relief aid, he founded BRAC, originally the Bangladesh Rehabilitation Assistance Committee, in 1972, aiming to help a few thousand war refugees. A half century later, BRAC is by many measures the largest nongovernmental organization in the worldâ"and by many accounts, the most effective anti-poverty program ever. BRAC seems to stand apart from countless failed development ventures. Its scale is massive, with 100,000 employees reaching more than 100 million people in Asia and Africa. In Bangladesh, where it began, Abedâs work gave rise to âsome of the biggest gains in the basic condition of peopleâs lives ever seen anywhere,â according to The Economist. His methods changed the way global policymakers think about poverty. By the time of his death at eighty-three in December 2019, he was revered in international development circles. Yet among the wider public he remained largely unknown. His story has never been toldâ"until now. Abed avoided the limelight. He thought his own story was of little consequence compared to the millions of women who rose from poverty with BRACâs help, bending the arc of history through their own tenacity and grit. The challenges he faced often seemed insurmountable. Abedâs personal life was a tapestry of love and griefâ"a loverâs suicide, a wife who died in his arms. He was a taciturn man with a short temper that erupted on rare occasions. Many of his ventures failed, but Abed persevered. This book is also the biography of an ideaâ"the idea that hope itself has the power to overcome poverty. âFor too long, people thought poverty was something ordained by a higher power, as immutable as the sun and the moon,â Abed wrote in 2018. His lifeâs mission was to put that myth to rest. This is the story of a man who lived a life of complexity, blemishes and all, driven by the conviction that in the dominion of human lives, hope will ultimately triumph over fate. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In Buddhism, the self is not a thing, but a processimpermanent, dependent, and ultimately empty. Our Fictional Minds explores this central truth in modern language, tracing how identity forms through habit, memory, and mental fabrication.Drawing from Buddhist teachings alongside neuroscience, psychology, and physics, this revolutionary book shows how clinging to self-stories leads to suffering. David Fisher shows that, when we try to manage the uncontrollable, preserve what cannot last, and explain what cannot be pinned down, we reinforce suffering rather than escaping it.Through psychological case studies, meditation-inspired reflections, and clear writing, Our Fictional Minds shows how Western science is only beginning to glimpse what Buddhist thought understood long ago: that perception is shaped, not found; that mind is a maker of models, not a mirror of truth. Each chapter is a gentle dismantling of ego's constructionspointing not to despair, but to freedom, speaking to those who have sat on a cushion and watched the mind build identities from thoughts.You'll find reflections on impermanence, karma, interdependence, and the illusion of control. But more than concepts, the book encourages a practice: to witness how we create our world, and to loosen our grip. The goal isn't to reject the self, but to stop mistaking it for what we are.For readers of Buddhist psychology, modern brain science, Zen philosophy, or mindfulness traditions, Our Fictional Minds offers a bridge between contemplative insight and modern life. Our Fictional Minds invites you to pause the search for a solid selfand consider the possibility that what you are is already wide open. If liberation begins with seeing clearly, this book helps clear the dust.…
