ARTICLES OF FAITH
$3.98 In Articles of Faith, veteran journalist Cynthia Gorney presents the first balanced political and social narrative of the most significant years in the abortion conflict, told from the perspective of the people who fought the battles on both sides. Focusing on the battle in Missouri, which mirrors the deepening abortion conflicts around the country as American states first begin changing their century-old criminal abortion laws, Gorney draws from more than five hundred interviews and previously unseen archival material to create the first narrative history of the modern American abortion conflict ever written. The central characters, whose evolving personal stories and eventual confrontation in the U.S. Supreme Court form the narrative drive of Articles of Faith, are two passionate, strong-willed leaders from opposing camps in the city of St. Louis: Judith Widdicombe and Samuel Lee. Judith Widdicombe is a registered nurse who runs the abortion underground in Missouri during the illegal-abortion days of the 1960s, and who then goes on after Roe v. Wade to set up almost singlehandedly the first legal abortion clinic in Missouri. Samuel Lee is a young pacifist and would-be seminarian who arrives in St. Louis to begin his formal religious studies and finds himself instead drawn to the more compelling and immediate work of the right-to-life movement. The state of Missouri is an ideal setting for a history of the American abortion wars. Both before and after 1973, when Roe v. Wade forces every state to legalize abortion, the real dramas of the abortion conflict unfold not in Washington, D.C., but in communities across the United States, communities like St. Louis, where Judy Widdicombe and Sam Lee are at the forefront of nearly every episode -- Judy directing her clinic, bankrolling federal lawsuits, co-founding the National Abortion Federation, covering her clinic bulletin boards with political updates, stepping through the smoldering aftermath of a clinic firebombing, and confronting head-on the moral ambiguity of late-trimester abortions; Sam studying intently the philosophical background and moral logic of the right-to-life movement and then joining sit-ins, volunteering for arrest, arguing pacifism versus confrontation with fellow civil disobedients, and eventually serving a long jail sentence for defying a court order barring him from the premises of certain St. Louis abortion clinics. When Sam completes his jail time, he makes what for him is the emotionally difficult transition away from protest and toward legislative lobbying in the Missouri state capital. Their battle culminates in 1989, when the provocative abortion bill Sam eventually lobbies through the Missouri legislature becomes the centerpiece of William L Webster v. Reproductive Health Services -- the most intently watched Supreme Court case of the late 1980s, because it is the very first case to challenge Roe v. Wade directly before what is generally assumed to be an anti-Roe ... |

Patient Patients?
$90.48 There is much debate over what motivates individuals who suffer from diabetes seeking greater empowerment over their treatment and life situation. The Swedish Health Law states that patients have the right to full information about their disease and to determine what treatment to receive. This book focuses upon the experiences of members of two diabetes branch organisations involved in prosecuting the empowerment of their members.The extent to which patient organisations exert their rights is explored via extensive surveys and interviews among the membership of two particularly influential Swedish diabetic organisations. In light of all the arguments in favour of empowerment, it is concluded here that the organisations? members were more interested in receiving personal information and socialising with each other than gaining greater influence and empowerment. This finding may partly be due to their confident belief in the Swedish health care system. Whatever the case, it is evident that patients and their organisations still have not yet fully explored the potential for greater empowerment. |

Practical Patient Safety (Paperback)
$48.16 Following recent high profile cases of surgical error in the Uk and USA, patient safety has become a key issue in healthcare, now placed at the heart of junior doctor`s training. Errors made by doctors are very similar to those made in other high risk organizations, such as aviation, nuclear and petrochemical industries. Practical Patient Safety aims to demonstrate how core principles of safety from these industries can be applied in surgical and medical practice, in particular through training for health care professionals and healthcare managers. While theoretical aspects of risk management form the backdrop, the book focuses on key techniques and principles of patient safety in a practical way, giving the reader practical advice on how to avoid personal errors, and more importantly, how to start patient safety training within his or her department or hospital. |

Preventing Patient Falls
$58.98 Every hospital and nursing home must face the problem of patient falls. Not only are the patients at risk for serious injury, but the institution must deal with the financial liability that can result from these accidents. Preventing Patient Falls is the culmination of Janice M. Morse's eight years of research into patient falls and what can be done to prevent them. The book presents the authoritative Morse Fall Scale for predicting the likelihood of a patient falling and, more important, how it can be implemented in a comprehensive fall prevention program. Morse addresses the issues of creating a safe institutional environment, measuring the fall and resulting injury rates in institutions, and the use and effectiveness of patient restraints, bed alarms, and safer beds. Nurses and other clinicians as well as administrators of health care facilities will find the transfer of this top-of-the-line research into direct practice to be invaluable. Nursing and health care researchers will also find Morse's expanded discussion of her Fall Scale a useful resource. |

The Patient
$3.48 With one nerve-shattering New York Times bestseller after another, Michael Palmer has demonstrated his extraordinary ability to create medical thrillers that are at once relentlessly suspenseful and chillingly realistic. And now the former ER physician returns with the stunning and explosive tale of a gifted neurosurgeon drawn into a world of escalating danger and violence, all because of...The Patient.Dr. Jessie Copeland is exactly where she wants to be: A respected neurosurgeon at Eastern Mass Medical Center, she spends her days waging life-and-death battles in the OR and her spare time holed up in a lab, spearheading the development of a tiny robot that could revolutionize brain surgery.ARTIE--Assisted Robotic Tissue Incision and Extraction--is an exciting fusion of biomechanics and radiology that, when perfected, will be able to excise tumors now considered inoperable. But it could be months before ARTIE is ready for use on human beings...or so Jessie thinks, until her ambitious department head jumps the gun and uses the robot in a high-profile case that nets immediate worldwide attention.Suddenly the hospital is swarming with media, vying for a multimillion-dollar grant, and fielding calls from patients desperate for this lifesaving technology. But what no one at the medical center realizes is that the publicity has also reached one of the most malevolent men on earth.Claude Malloche is brilliant, secretive, remorseless, and without regard for human life--a mercenary willing to bring down a world leader or a jetliner filled with people if the price is right. He is also ill with a life-threatening brain tumor that is exactly the sort ARTIE was invented to treat. Now Malloche must come into the open, and he has set his sights on the hospital that has burst to the forefront of neurosurgery: Eastern Mass Medical Center.For those caught on the neurosurgical floor, the nightmare has just begun...and no one is more aware of the stakes than Jessie Copeland. In brain surgery there are no guarantees. But that's exactly what Claude Malloche demands, leaving Jessie to face the most harrowing case of her life. Disaster is just a cut away. And the price of failure may be thousands of lives....Heart-poundingly scary and immensely entertaining, The Patient is riveting, unpredictable, page-turning suspense. It is terror to which no one is immune.Claude Malloche is a master assassin, more rumor than man, for whom murder is an art. No one can identify his face. Now Malloche has a deadly brain tumor, and he intends to have the best neurosurgeon in the world operate on it.To ensure Jessie's cooperation, Malloche has devised a plan of intimidation that puts at risk her life and the lives of hundreds of innocent people. Neurosurgery requires nerves of steel, but in coming up with a scheme to fulfill her oath as a doctor yet thwart a diabolical killer, Jessie will be performing the most complex surgery of her career--on a knife-edge of terror.With every book ... |

Shared Decision-making in Health Care (Paperback)
$41.65 When the first edition of this book came out in 2001, it examined the emerging themes of patient choice and clinical decision-making, and looked at how these might develop in the future. Since then, these issues have become even more topical. Evidence-based medicine is deeply ingrained in the practice of modern medicine, while patient choice is increasingly high on the political agenda. But can the two trends co-exist? "Shared Decision Making" has developed in response to the sometimes uneasy relationship between a patient`s right to have input into their treatment options, and a clinician`s responsibility to provide the best evidence-based health care. Imagine a patient with osteoarthritis in her knee. She and her doctor are considering whether she would benefit from surgery to replace her knee joint. This sort of decision is typical of many in health care where there is more than one reasonable alternative available to the patient and her doctor. These alternatives include surgery, physiotherapy, medication, complementary remedies, and more. What is right for one patient may be different from what is right for another. Clinical information (such as results of x-rays or even patient-reported symptom score), though necessary, is not sufficient to determine the best treatment. |

Clinical Handbook of Co-exist Mental Health and Drug Alcohol Problems
$52.48 Co-existing mental health and drug and alcohol problems occur frequently in primary care and clinical settings. Despite this, health professionals rarely receive training in how to detect, assess and formulate interventions for co-existing problems and few clinical guidelines exist.This Handbook provides an exciting and highly useful addition to this area. Leading clinicians from the UK, the US and Australia provide practical descriptions of assessments and interventions for co-existing problems. These will enable professionals working with co-existing problems to understand best practice and ensure that people with co-existing problems receive optimal treatment. A range of overarching approaches are covered, including: working within a cognitive behavioural framework; provision of consultation-liaison services, training and supervision; individual, group and family interventions; and working with rurally isolated populations.The contributors also provide detailed descriptions of assessments and treatments for a range of disorders when accompanied by drug and alcohol problems, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and learning difficulties. The Clinical Handbook of Co-existing Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Problems will enhance clinicians confidence in working with people with co-existing problems. It will prove a valuable resource for all psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, social workers and all those working in both primary and secondary care health settings. |

The Intelligent Patient's Guide to the Doctor-Patient Relationship
$15.48 Do you feel that your doctor doesn't pay attention to what you say? Does your doctor cut you off when you try to explain how you feel? Do you think your doctor could remember your name without referring to your chart? Does your doctor seem to be in such a hurry that you don't even get a chance to ask your most important questions? Do you spend more time waiting than actually talking to your doctor? Do you understand what your doctor says? At one time or another, we have all had these complaints. This book will teach you how to ask the right questions, understand the answers, and show you how to take more control of your visits to the doctor and your own health. This is the first book in which communication pioneer Barbara M. Korsch, M.D., reveals what she has learned about the doctor-patient relationship dilemma during almost half a century of investigation. In clear, simple language, Dr. Korsch answers most of our common questions: How do I know when I'm sick enough to go to the doctor? How do I know if it's serious enough to go to the emergency room? What do I do if I can't follow the advice my doctor gives me? She walks us through a typical visit to the doctor, showing us how to prepare ourselves so we don't forget the question that has been worrying us for weeks as soon as we walk through the doctor's door. She gives important tips on how to survive the dreaded hospital experience. And she offers insight into the doctor's side of the relationship, showing how doctors are trained to be task-oriented and how their natural human sympathy is discouraged throughout their careers. Finally, she offers patients useful strategies for humanizing the relationship. Korsch's helpful, commonsense recommendations are extensively illustrated with real-life doctor-patient conversations which she recorded on audio and video tape over the course of the last thirty years. She was one of the first medical professionals to emphasize the importance of teaching doctors how to talk to patients as part of their medical training. She serves as consultant and lecturer to medical schools, hospitals, and medical practices throughout the world to help the next generation of doctors communicate with their patients. Above all, after years of research, she has found abundant evidence that the relationship patients form with their doctors directly determines the quality of the care they receive. This is a vital book for anyone who is concerned about their health and who wants to take control of their medical care. So much depends upon asking the right questions and on finding a doctor who will listen to you. This book gives you the tools and the confidence to do just that. |

How Not to Be My Patient
$3.98 "By the time I see most of my patients, they have weeks, not months, left to live,"says Edward T. Creagan, M.D., cancer specialist and professor, Mayo Clinic Medical School. "Let there be no doubt, they are courageous, and we have many incredible success stories that defy what we know about cancer. But truth be known, half of my patients never needed to walk into my exam room because their cancers were related to lifestyle choices they made along the way. I'm not placing blame or guilt. In this book, I will tell you what you can do, for yourself and your family, so you won't ever be my patient." How Not to Be My Patient teaches people how to talk so their doctors will listen. Dr. Creagan shares insights doctors are never taught in medical school-insights readers will be surprised to learn. He takes readers inside the examination room and teaches them how to make the most of their seven minutes-the average time of an office visit. Every one of us can lower our own risk of premature death and disability right now-it's never too late. But first, we need to take personal responsibility for our own health and welfare in order to decrease the risks of developing diseases, especially cancer-the most-feared disease of all. With Dr. Creagan's prescription for prevention and survival, readers can take control of their health care, their medical records and their decision making. Dr. Creagan will also show patients how to wisely select and build partnerships with their doctors, even though today's bureaucratic strangleholds are driving doctors to retire early and forcing patients to the Internet for advice. For those whose future includes an encounter with a life-changing illness such as cancer, heart disease or diabetes, Dr. Creagan has this empowering message: You can survive any diagnosis. |

Articles of Faith
$25.98 Nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Articles of Faith is a powerful exploration of one of the most divisive issues in our recent political history, and the only book to portray the passion of both sides of the abortion conflict.Drawing from more than five hundred interviews as well as previously unseen archival material, Cynthia Gorney has written a compelling narrative that explores the years between Roe v. Wade (1973) and William L. Webster v. Reproductive Health Services (1989), the first case to challenge the Roe decision before an anti-Roe court.Meet Judith Widdicombe, the registered nurse who runs the abortion underground in 1960s St. Louis and then the first legal clinic after Roe v. Wade. And meet Samuel Lee, a young pacifist and would-be seminarian whose provocative abortion bill becomes the centerpiece of William L. Webster v. Reproductive Health Services. The Supreme Court case brings the two advocates head-to-head. |

Selected Articles On Modern Industrial Movements (1920)

ANJ iQjc iKU Hb N, CONSULT AMD ljr0vTMAt KKLATIONB, WITH AW IlfTSODUCTIOir V MEYER BLOOMFIELD AUTHOR or 4 I-Aio AMD CoKMciwriOK, YOUTH, SCHOOL AND VOCAtXOM, MANAUKM NT AMI MtN, ICTl. EDITOR INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, LONDON SIR ISAAC PITMAN e SONS, LTD. 1090 Printed in U. S. A. EXPLANATORY NOTE This book presents the first collection in one volume oi articles on modern industrial movements. It covers the most important printed material which has appeared in periodicals, reports and other important sources not easily accessible. Some subjects such as Socialism, Trade Unions, Compulsory Arbi tration of Industrial Disputes, Compulsory Insurance, Minimum Wage, Open vs Closed Shop, Single Tax, are not included in this book as they are fully covered in other Handbooks pub lished by The H, W, Wilson Company. The aim of the editor and compiler has been to present each subject from all angles so that the reader may have the opportunity of forming his own judgment as to the particular movements discussed. Not only will this handbook, therefore, be of value to students at schools and colleges, but it will also appeal to the business man and the industrial manager, and the workers in industry who want to know in some detail about important movements in industry, We can arrive at the truth best by balancing what authoritative proponents of such move ments say, with the expressions of responsible writers who hold contrary points of view. A large amount of material was gone over before the arti cles in this volume were selected and the task was difficult because of the rapidly changing status of such movements as Bolshevism, and the Shop Stewards Movement. However, in those cases, the articles finally selected make clear the funda mentals underlying the growth of the movements and thus will serve their purpose in throwing light on the industrial thought of our time.

International Co-operation in Health
$112.98 This book explores the impact of globalization, economic policies, war and violence, trade and reproductive ideologies on global health and health services. It offers examples, both successful and unsuccessful, of international co-operative efforts to address these multiple issues, citing international collaboration of health professional organisations such as Jubilee 2000. It questions the efficacy, ideology and scope of several of the leading players, such as WHO, World Bank and many NGOs that are trying to address these issues, as well as pointing out the emergence of international organisations whose activities harm health, such as arms and tobacco traders. International co-operational and health focuses on those public health issues that cross national boundaries. In order to put effective policy into place, considerable international co- operation is necessary. It is primarily about international collaboration to promote health of the world's population. This book looks at the how international collaboration can and does help to tackle current and emerging public health problems. It covers issues such as emerging and re-emerging infectious disease; health consequences of global environment change; trade, public health and food; war: from humanitarian relief to prevention; the global tobacco epidemic; migration, equity and health and international co-operation for reproductive health. The overall thrust is to suggest that health professionals are uniquely placed to help develop organisations and policies, which by capitalising on their good track record on international co-operation, they would be in a relatively strong position to implement to the benefit of global health. The book is directed at a broad group of health policy makers and (public) health professionals internationally, especially those working in NGOs and international organisations but also those interested in the impact of global issues in their own country. This is an area of great interest and importance. It is seen as a priority area for a number of international bodies e.g. WHO. The contributors are of international standing. There is no book on the market, which addresses the issues as proposed in this book. Professor Martin McKee is chief editor of the European Journal of Public Health (OUP). |

The Latino Patient
$28.48 Latinos are dramatically changing the demographic profile of the United States. Developing a strong command of the Spanish language is not a realistic goal for most health care providers wishing to establish rapport with their Latino patients. Yet, growing numbers of health professionals are realizing the importance of understanding Latino cultural values as they impact the clinical encounter. Such knowledge can enhance their ability to communicate with and treat Latino patients effectively and respectfully. The Latino Patient provides an in-depth exploration of Latino diversity; relevant cultural values; health status, beliefs and practices; and effective communication strategies. The author has developed an original, practice-oriented model that leads the health practitioner from greeting the patient to ultimately negotiating treatment. The book is hands-on, providing numerous illustrative vignettes gleaned from the author's experience. |

Women's Health Needs In Patient Education
$50 The goal of this book is to fill the many gaps that health care providers face when helping women learn self care and prevention skills. Special attention is paid to minority status, low literacy, and elderly women who may have fewer opportunities to find health information independently. While this is ample information on reproductive health available, women experience a lack of timely information on nonreproductive health issues, such major killers as lung cancer and cardiovascular disease; adequate information for family caregivers, who are mostly women; and other disorders, ranging from AIDS to osteoporosis and urinary incontinence. Nurses, health educators, physicians, and those interested in women's health will find this an eye-opening and important resource. |

Co-Balt
$11.99 The strength of a perfect pairing lies in more than just the individuality of its parts; it relies on the newness of what that pairing creates. When two of Athens, Georgia's most respected musical forces--Vic Chesnutt and Widespread Panic--first came together in 1993 to form the extraordinary collective Brute, they found they had formed a powerhouse combination unachievable without each other--one so good that almost a decade later it yearns to live again. And so it does. On April 9, 2002, Widespread Records released Brute's second album, Co-Balt. Driven by Chesnutt's signature playful-yet-meaningful songwriting style (not to mention vocals and acoustic guitar), the eleven-song disc bears the indelible mark of producer John Keane (backing vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, pedal steel) and features the whole Widespread crew: Dave Schools (bass), Michael Houser (guitar), John Hermann (keyboards), Todd Nance (drums), John Bell (backing vocals, electric guitar) and Domingo Ortiz (percussion). Recording the rough mixes for Co-Balt in Keane's home studio over a three-day period in January of 2001, the Brute boys had no time to compose, let along rehearse. Vic made selections from his trunk of songs each day then the group simply hit record and played, a process not unlike their first collaboration, their 1995 debut Nine High A Pallet. While the in-the-moment approach was the same, the outcome this time was tighter, more concise, lending Co-Balt a new maturity. It's quite a feat to top an album Entertainment Weekly called ...a compelling, rollicking disc and CMJ dubbed a rare triumph, but it looks like they've done it. It [Co-Balt] has the Keane gloss to it, Schools comments, but all the heaviness that Brute implies. Vic agrees, It's slicker than the last one... This record is more pop. I see this one as more light-hearted with a couple of melancholy and dark numbers. But don't judge a tune by its tone alone. Vic's good at hiding really dark lyrics behind happy chord changes, School points out. Co-Balt is cohesive, of course. Still, each song maintains its unique identity. Scholarship is the only song Vic wrote with this particular group of musicians in mind. I wrote it right after we recorded the last Brute record. I thought of this great riff that would be perfect with Panic playing it. This is a compliment of the highest order for Schools, who unknowingly inspired yet another song, Puppy Sleeps. Co-written by Schools, it's the only tune on the album not composed entirely by Chesnutt. When we were rehearsing for a show, I had this riff and I heard Dave talking about his puppy, he explains, I took pieces of his conversation. I thought it would make a great song. These are the kind of spontaneous moments that turn into music which make Brute its own being. People are surprised at this pairing, House |
