Vax Facts is a one-stop-shop for all the information parents and guardians need to make an informed choice about childhood vaccinations.

The challenge for most who are wrestling with whether to give a vaccine is a lack of understanding about what information they really need to make an informed decision.

Written by a pediatrician who witnessed the difference over decades in the health outcomes of the vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated children in his practice, Vax Facts will enlighten parents and guardians and provide the information needed for informed consent.

Covering each of the vaccines recommended by the CDC and doctors, from pregnancy through the teen years, this detailed guide breaks down the ingredients, the lack of safety testing, and the side effects and risks of the vaccines.

With the help of simple data tables that compare the rates of death from the diseases for which we have vaccines and the rates of death from the vaccines themselves, parents and guardians can easily decide what’s right for their children.

With almost four million births per year in the United States, this useful resource will resonate with all who are pregnant or considering pregnancy, and all parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who are considering whether vaccination is appropriate for a family member or loved one.

At the end of each chapter, Just a Mom (coauthor DeeDee Hoover) shares personal stories and reflections that allow readers to connect with the information.

This information-packed guide is for all those asking “Should I get my child vaccinated?” who want more than just a yes/no answer. After reading Vax Facts, parents and guardians will be able to decide with confidence whether vaccination is the right choice for their loved one.

Offers the most powerful case yet for ending our exploitation of animals for food

Millions of Americans see themselves as "conflicted omnivores," worrying about the ethical and environmental implications of their choice to eat animals. Yet their attempts to justify their choices only obscure the truth of the matter: in John Sanbonmatsu’s view, killing and eating animals is unethical, regardless of whether they are "free range" or factory farmed. Shattering the conventional wisdom around the meat economy, he reframes the question of animal agriculture from one of "sustainability" to one of existential and moral purpose, presenting a powerful case for the total abolition of the animal economy. In a rejoinder to Michael Pollan and other critics who have told us that we can have our meat and our consciences, too, he shows why "humane meat" is always a contradiction in terms.

The Omnivore’s Deception provides a deeply observed philosophical meditation on the nature of our relationship with animals. Peeling back the myriad layers of myth, falsehoods, and bad faith that keep us eating meat, the book offers a novel perspective on our troubled relations with animals in the food economy. The problem with raising and killing animals for food isn't just that it's "bad for the environment,” but the wrong way to live a human life.

A tour de force of moral philosophy and cultural critique, The Omnivore's Deception will change the way we think about meat, animals, and human purpose.

In Wild & Well, Dani Williamson helps readers connect to a healthy, brighter future as well as help them find a community that will support and encourage them.

In a time when there is access to more knowledge and resources than ever before, and the power of information is literally in the palm of one’s hand, a strange thing is happening: People still believe most of what they hear. Sadly, the idea that one has to feel worse and take more prescriptions as they age is just a lie, plain and simple. It’s a lie that has kept people stuck not in a healthcare system but in a sick-care system that doesn't profit from happy, healthy patients. Dani Williamson helps readers break free from that untruth and allow them to re-discover how they were meant to live… Wild & Well!

In Wild & Well, readers dive with Dani into a discussion of the modern state of health in America and learn the six steps they can take into order to reclaim their health, relationships, intimacy with their spouse, and faith in the fact that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Readers learn that it’s not as hard as they think to eat well, sleep well, poop well, move well, relax well, and connect well.

How can we learn to notice the signs of disability?

We see indications of disability everywhere: yellow diamond-shaped “deaf person in area” road signs, the telltale shapes of hearing aids, or white-tipped canes sweeping across footpaths. But even though the signs are ubiquitous, Stephanie L. Kerschbaum argues that disability may still not be perceived due to a process she terms “dis-attention.”

To tell better stories of disability, this multidisciplinary work turns to rhetoric, communications, sociology, and phenomenology to understand the processes by which the material world becomes sensory input that then passes through perceptual apparatuses to materialize phenomena—including disability. By adding perception to the understanding of disability’s materialization, Kerschbaum significantly expands our understanding of disability, accounting for its fluctuations and transformations in the semiotics of everyday life.

Drawing on a set of thirty-three research interviews focused on disabled faculty members’ experiences with disability disclosure, as well as written narratives by disabled people, this book argues for the materiality of narrative, suggesting narratives as a means by which people enact boundaries around phenomena and determine their properties. Signs of Disability offers strategies and practices for challenging problematic and pervasive forms of “dis-attention” and proposes a new theoretical model for understanding disability in social, rhetorical, and material settings.

The Zen Lobbyist offers a refreshing take on healthcare reform, blending personal wellness practices with systemic change. Gary Jacobs recounts his path from healthcare entrepreneur to advocate, drawing on experiences with meditation, yoga, and mindfulness to shape his unique approach to policy.

This book provides a framework for reimagining healthcare systems that goes beyond traditional medicine, emphasizing primary care, prevention, and collaborative solutions. Jacobs demonstrates how bipartisan efforts can bridge divides to create meaningful change, while also sharing the tools he uses to stay centered amid high-pressure environments.

Readers will find practical advice on managing personal health, leading with mindfulness, and advocating for a more compassionate healthcare system. The Zen Lobbyist is a powerful call to action for anyone seeking to improve both personal well-being and the health of society.

A critical study of diabetes in the popular imagination

Over twenty-nine million people in the United States, more than nine percent of the population, have some form of diabetes. In Managing Diabetes, Jeffrey A. Bennett focuses on how the disease is imagined in public culture. Bennett argues that popular anecdotes, media representation, and communal myths are as meaningful as medical and scientific understandings of the disease.

In focusing on the public character of the disease, Bennett looks at health campaigns and promotions as well as the debate over public figures like Sonia Sotomayor and her management of type 1 diabetes. Bennett examines the confusing and contradictory public depictions of diabetes to demonstrate how management of the disease is not only clinical but also cultural. Bennett also has type 1 diabetes and speaks from personal experience about the many misunderstandings and myths that are alive in the popular imagination. Ultimately, Managing Diabetes offers a fresh take on how disease is understood in contemporary society and the ways that stigma, fatalism, and health can intersect to shape diabetes’s public character. This disease has dire health implications, and rates keep rising. Bennett argues that until it is better understood it cannot be better treated.

The Tao of Bioenergetics is the first comprehensive study of the use of Energetics as a scientific model (paradigm) in both western and eastern thought.

This book traces the history and uses of Qi (Chi), the bioenergy of China, from the I-Ching through physics, astrology, Feng Shui and alchemy.

The author demonstrates how the findings of the ancient Chinese Qigong masters were paralleled and confirmed in the early works of Hippocrates, Parclsus and Mesmer. He then shows the confirmation of Qigong theory in the modern clinical and experimental discoveries of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen. Also included are extensive excerpts from the published works of notable eastern scholars such as Yang, Ni, and Lu.

Special attention is given to the experiments of Wilhelm Reich to show the objectivity of the energy paradigm, and his experiments are quoted at length as scientific confirmation of eastern Qigong.

Finally, a synthesis is suggested and conclusions drawn for the future use of the broader energy paradigm in global science and human development.

Fairy tales, though they were originally folk tales told to adults, have been a key part of childhood for centuries and remain popular today. Their patterns and morality have a profound influence on the developing mind of children; they shape the way children understand ideas of good and evil, poverty and riches, beauty and ugliness. They stimulate the imagination and provide much-needed heroes and heroines.

The deeper meaning of these tales, however, has often been lost. Rudolf Meyer explores key themes and images, such as the prince, animals, the tailor or enchantment, in well-known fairy tales. He shows how characters such as Snow White and Cinderella represent particular aspects of our own nature and how there is a deep wisdom to be found in their stories.

This book will be fascinating and insightful reading for parents and teachers.

Eurythmy is a modern art of movement, and eurythmists work in the realms of art, healing and education. The benefits as a healing social art, for both children and adults, are well known.

Rudolf Steiner gave a course on eurythmy therapy in which he described the process of 're-enlivening the whole physiology'. The authors of this book have researched eurythmy therapy for many years and this book is a comprehensive overview of their work.

«¿Te mudarías a mi casa?» La primera vez que Jessie Inchauspé recibió esta petición de uno de sus lectores, a quien por supuesto no conocía, fue pocos días después de la publicación del libro que iba a cambiar por completo la conversación acerca de la nutrición y las dietas: La revolución de la glucosa. En su libro, Jessie había compartido numerosos y contundentes argumentos científicos acerca del modo en que la glucosa afecta a todos los aspectos de nuestra vida y nuestra salud, así como trucos sencillos para aprender a manejarnos con sus efectos. Tras esa petición y el gran éxito internacional de su obra, llegaron muchas más…

Pero, ¿por qué tantas ofertas para mudarse a casa de desconocidos? Porque sus seguidores querían que estuviera a su lado para ayudarles a poner en práctica la ciencia de La revolución de la glucosa, día a día, comida a comida. Querían un plan. Un libro práctico, recetas, ánimo e inspiración.

Este libro es el resultado de tantas y tantas de estas peticiones. En él, Jessie comparte sus trucos, recetas, listas de la compra y planes, tal y como lo haría con un buen amigo o un familiar. Se trata de una guía que abarca 4 semanas con sus 100 recetas favoritas que ayudará a los lectores a persistir en la práctica, a equilibrar sus niveles de glucosa y a empezar a sentirse mejor que nunca.

El 90 % de la población vive con niveles de glucosa inestables, y la mayoría ni siquiera lo sabe, aunque a todos nos resulten familiares los síntomas: antojos, fatiga crónica, hambre constante, inflamación, problemas de sueño, problemas hormonales… Sabemos ya que empezaremos a sentimos mejor y recuperemos nuestros niveles de energía normales cuando aplanamos la curva de la glucosa. Pero, ¿cómo se hace eso? Desde luego, no a base de contar calorías ni de eliminar de la dieta ciertos grupos de alimentos. No, lo que vamos a hacer es utilizar una serie de principios basados en los últimos descubrimientos científicos: tomar un sabroso desayuno salado, empezar siempre las comidas con un buen plato de vegetales, incorporar el vinagre a nuestra dieta, movernos un poco después de comer… Una vez estos principios se convierten en hábitos recuperamos nuestra salud y nos sentimos mucho mejor.

"The most insightful guide to getting moving I've ever read.” —Kelly McGonigal, author of The Joy of Movement

Break down the common everyday mental blocks to moving your body, and turn your mind from an adversary into an ally in the quest to feel better in your body.

"I know I should move my body more, but...

• I’m on my feet all day for work and I’m exhausted!"
• I’m addicted to my phone."
• I’m great at starting movement programs, just lousy at sticking with them."
• My body jiggles and embarrasses me in public."
• Movement is sooooo boring!"

Sound familiar? If not, it probably means you have another perfectly good excuse of your own. We all have our reasons for not getting the physical activity we know is good for us—reasons which stubbornly defy the same old tired prescriptive advice about hours of weekly cardio or numbers of steps. Adding insult to injury, these same excuses contribute to you feeling bad or guilty when you fail to move as much as you know you “should.”

That’s why Diana Hill and Katy Bowman have put together this simple guide to changing the way you think to change how much you move.

Diana is a modern psychologist, expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and host of the Wise Effort podcast. Her mission is to help her clients and readers grow the psychological flexibility needed to get moving in directions that matter to them. Katy is a biomechanist, author, and trailblazing movement teacher who has spent a career helping people integrate more movement into their lives. In I Know I Should Exercise, But…, the two join forces to help you challenge your barriers to movement in a new way. Katy translates her understanding of the obstacles that keep people sedentary—including dozens of real-world examples from readers and clients—into 44 essential impediments to movement. Diana responds to those common barriers, while introducing you to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), behavioral psychology, and self-compassion: evidence-based-approaches for cultivating flexibility and aligning actions with values.

Whether your internal barrier is born of fear, malaise, inertia, embarrassment, or difficulty managing competing priorities, you will learn how to disempower it by applying effective science-based tools for changing the way you think.

You’ll learn to identify your resistance—whether it’s an unhelpful thought, a misplaced motivation, or a contextual barrier—and respond wisely and effectively, using tools and techniques that can be applied to other areas of your life as well, including:

• urge surfing
• motivational interviewing
• behavioral stretching
• strengthening your acceptance muscle

This is a must-have book for anyone struggling with the mental barriers to moving more and an essential resource for personal trainers, fitness instructors, and mental health professionals wanting to better connect with their clients.

Stretch your mind, connect with what is truly important to you, and stop talking yourself out of the movement you need!

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Learn how to eliminate pain, not just soothe the symptoms.

Don’t settle for relieving your pain — eliminate it!

80% of the Western population has suffered, suffers, or will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives, yet most existing treatments focus on tackling the symptoms and forget the root of the problem.

For centuries, men have been growing and styling their facial hair, whether for the sake of vanity, religion, or cultural considerations, but most of us don’t give it a second thought. The Bearded Gentleman is an authoritative yet lighthearted guide that offers detailed information on some fifty specific facial hair styles: where they come from, how to grow them, and how to maintain them.

Among them are many well-known styles, such as the Handlebar, the Fu Manchu, the Goatee, the Van Dyck, and the more recent Soul Patch. But there are also those that are less familiar, including the Horseshoe, the Lampshade, the Painter’s Brush, the Landing Strip, the French Fork, and El Insecto (a.k.a. the Mighty). There’s also practical advice on choosing a facial hair style that’s right for you, as well as insight into how facial hair has figured in the history of masculinity, including its impact on politics, class, and sexuality.

The Bearded Gentleman is an entertaining, witty, and useful guide to facial hair styles and the men who wear them.

Allan Peterkin’s previous books include One Thousand Beards: A Cultural History of Facial Hair, featured in Time, Esquire, and The New Yorker.

Nick Burns is one of the leading writers on men’s grooming; he has covered skin care, fashion, and health for publications including The New York Times, GQ, Details, and Out, and he is author of the popular men’s style blog HommeGrooming.com.
