Everyday Social Justice and Citizenship

Health, Mind & Body

Social justice is a concept which is widely touted and lauded as desirable, yet its meaning may differ depending on whether its focus is on the underlying values of social justice, the more specific objectives these entail, or the actual practices or policies which aim to achieve social justice. In the current global political context, we need to re-examine what we mean by social justice, and demonstrate that "making a difference" and contributing to human flourishing is more achievable than this context would suggest. The book aims to increase our sense of being able to enact social justice, by showcasing different ways of contributing to social justice, and "making a difference" in different settings and different ways. Part 1 introduces a fluid and contextual approach to social justice. Part 2 examines social justice and faith perspectives, such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam and community organisations. Part 3 illustrates perspectives on children, the family, sport and local government. Part IV provides perspectives of social justice in education. Considering concepts of citizenship and social justice from a variety of contemporary perspectives, Everyday Social Justice and Citizenship should be considered essential reading for academics and students from a range of social scientific disciplines with an interest in social justice, as well as those working in education, community work, youth work and chaplaincy.

Additionally, within these pages, you will find ways to optimize your health before, during, and after menopause and be well informed, and empowered in your own personal advocacy. You will love it!” —Dr. Anna Cabeca, OB/GYN, bestselling author of The Hormone Fix and MenuPauseYou have been misled about menopause. This comprehensive guide based on the latest research in aging, women’s health, and HRT dispels decades of misinformation. The Great Menopause Myth is your essential resource for optimized menopause care.More than simply an end to fertility, menopause is a time when a woman’s health can spin out of control. The hormonal shifts of menopause impact everything from body composition and immune system function to increased risk of chronic health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and osteoporosis.If you’re lucky enough to even be offered menopause treatment, traditional protocols, based on decades-old shoddy science and erroneous research conclusions, have gotten it wrong. Badly wrong. For years, conventional wisdom—and medical practice—have told women nothing needs to change in their lifestyle or healthcare at midlife, and they should just white-knuckle the discomfort of hot flashes, sleeplessness, weight gain and loss of muscle mass, mood swings, painful sex, joint pain, and incontinence as if it will all just (magically) go away in a decade or two.The Great Menopause Myth shows you how to age wise and well at midlife and beyond.

CBD

Health, Mind & Body

The essential book on CBD as medicineThis practical, accessible guide to using CBD-dominant cannabis contains a wealth of information for both first-time explorers and experienced patients who want to know more about safely treating a number of health conditions with remarkable results and low to no psychoactivity or negative side effects. CBD (cannabidiol) is a component of cannabis that can provide relief for conditions such as seizures, pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, arthritis, and a number of other issues. This book offers guidance on various forms of the medicine such as oil infusions, alcohol-based tinctures, capsules, and CO2 concentrated extracts. The information is organized by health condition and also by recommended CBD-rich strains, which do not produce the "highs" associated with THC. With dosage suggestions, potential side effects and contraindications, and the pharmacology of the plant, this is an essential guide for both doctors and patients looking for a nontoxic alternative to opiate-based pain medications and other pharmaceuticals.While cannabis has been used for medicinal and recreational purposes for thousands of years, only in the last fifty years have scientists begun to shed light on the chemistry of the plant and its interactions with the human body. Research has led to the discovery of a whole new system in the body, the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in mediating functions such as appetite, immunity, mood, pain response, and memory. The authors present case studies, interviews with doctors who prescribe cannabidiol products, and the latest research regarding other active phytocannabinoids and terpenoids present in cannabis that are being studied for medical use. They also address the difference between CBD products derived from industrial hemp or in a lab, versus those made from medical marijuana using the whole plant. In addition to offering the most up-to-date and comprehensive information on CBD-dominant cannabis therapy for humans, this book is the first to offer guidance for using the medicine for animals, with suggestions for dosage and delivery and useful forms and strains for common health issues in pets. Finally, the authors take a look at the future of cannabis medicine, charting trends in the legalization movement and suggesting how CBD might be used to fight the opioid epidemic.

Din cauze naturale

Health, Mind & Body

De la nivelul celular până la cel al societății, Din cauze naturale ne înfățișează pericolele la care ne expunem într-o lume dominată de incertitudini, tentații, temeri și speranțe deseori nejustificate. Din cauze naturale este o polemică incisivă, limpede, care ne demonstrează că imaginea Doamnei cu Coasa este mai puțin sumbră decât o viață petrecută cu spaima de soarta care ne așteaptă pe toți. – Matthew Desmond Descrierea pe care Barbara Ehrenreich o face celulelor grăbite să oprească sângerarea unei răni este atât de uimitoare și încântătoare, încât amintește de stilul literar al lui Italo Calvino. În frumoasele pasaje finale ale cărții, susține curiozitatea și uimirea în fața naturii și contemplarea senină a finalului vieții. – The New York Times Ehrenreich propune o viziune contemplativă asupra sănătății, care merge dincolo de limitele corpului ca să pătrundă pe un teren al posibilităților metafizice. – Booklist Criza vârstei mijlocii, cu toate neajunsurile pe care le aduce, umilințele la care suntem adesea supuși în cabinetul medical sau preocupările uneori excesive pentru diete și practici tot mai exotice, adoptate din dorința de a avea o viață mai bună – iată numai câteva dintre subiectele pe care Barbara Ehrenreich le dezbate în această carte. Documentată riguros și susținută de date verificate din domenii precum istoria, științele, sociologia și chiar cultura populară, cartea este scrisă pe un ton când amuzant, când tranșant. Ehrenreich își susține ideile făcând constant referiri la studii despre pericolele imediate sau care au ca punct de plecare fenomene media și de marketing bine-cunoscute, cum ar fi promovarea unei avalanșe de produse care ne promit miracole.
