Do you wish you could make the outdoors a bigger part of your life?
Liv Bolton, host of the chart-topping podcast The Outdoors Fix,
presents an inspiring collection of stories about ordinary people
who have done just that. By making time for their passions - from
walking, running, climbing, swimming and paddleboarding to
photography, filmmaking, cooking and conservation - they have found
their daily lives transformed through immersion in nature and the
countryside. The chapters include the stories of outdoor instructor
Rehna Yaseen, mental-health campaigner Alex Staniforth, Black Girls
Hike regional leader Oge Ejizu and coastal runner Elise Downing.
Time outdoors can be hugely beneficial, and even small changes can
make a big difference: improving happiness, enhancing work-life
balance, introducing new friendships and boosting physical and
mental health. Packed with stunning photographs and practical tips
encompassing everything from after-work local adventures to
spending a night out on the hills, The Outdoors Fix might just
provide the inspiration you need to embrace the great outdoors and
live more adventurously.
Finding the Way is a story of one man's spiritual quest and a
modern perspective on the life of Jesus of Nazareth. His teachings

Finding the Way serves as a guide for Christians seeking a
deeper understanding of, and relationship with, Christ, as well as
a primer for those who are "spiritually lost"--wandering from one
belief system to another. This work reveals the importance of
placing Jesus at the center of our lives to manifest permanent
peace and happiness.

Urinary tract infection is a common clinical condition with a
significant health burden. This latest volume, Vol. 22 in the
Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine series, uses a 'whole
evidence' approach to summarise management of urinary tract
infection with Chinese medicine. The first chapter provides an
overview of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment with
conventional medicine. The conceptualisation of urinary tract
infection in both contemporary and classical Chinese medicine
literature is reviewed and analysed. Attention is then turned to
the evidence from clinical studies. Systematic reviews, using
internationally accepted scientific methods, describe the
treatments tested in clinical studies and the effects of Chinese
herbal medicine, acupuncture and related therapies, and
combinations of these therapies for urinary tract infection. The
potential mechanisms of action for some of the key herbs are
summarised, based on analysis of experimental studies. The final
chapter summarises the current state of evidence and offers
suggestions for contemporary clinical practice and future
research.This book is a handy desktop reference for both clinicians
and students of Chinese and integrative medicine. It provides a
comprehensive synthesis of both traditional and contemporary
knowledge that can inform clinical decision-making.This book
provides an in-depth analysis of Chinese medicine management of
urinary tract infection.
Chronic Cough is the 20th volume of the Evidence-based Clinical
Chinese Medicine series. It provides a multi-faceted 'whole
evidence' analysis of the management of chronic cough, including
cough variant asthma, upper airways cough syndrome, and
gastroesophageal reflux disease in Chinese medicine. Evidence from
the classical Chinese medicine literature, contemporary clinical
literature, the outcomes of clinical trials and experimental
studies are reviewed, analysed and synthesised. The data from all
these sources are condensed to provide evidence-based summaries and
identity implications for the clinical practice of Chinese medicine
and for future research. This book can inform clinicians and
students in the fields of integrative medicine and Chinese medicine
regarding contemporary practice and the current evidence base for a
range of Chinese medicine therapies used in the management of
chronic cough, including herbal formulas and acupuncture
treatments, in order to assist clinicians in making evidence-based
decisions in patient care.Currently, Chinese medicine practitioners
who develop a special interest in a particular health condition,
such as chronic cough need to consult a diversity of resources to
expand their knowledge. Such sources typically included specialty
books and journal articles sourced from biomedical databases
published in Chinese and English. However, not all practitioners
have access to such sources to obtain information on the
evidence-based management of chronic cough. By providing all this
information in one handy, easy to use reference, this book allows
practitioners to focus on providing high quality health care, with
the knowledge it is based on the best available evidence.

material as well as to reflect current knowledge. In addition, the

practical herbal medicine reference. For each herb, it
includes the most useful preparation forms, along with important
dosage, caution and contraindication information. For this fourth
edition, the detailed dosages for tincture, infusion and decoction
preparations have been fully updated, based on current Western
herbal medicine practice, and the tincture strength and ethanol
content information have been added for every herb.
