Are you one of the millions of people who suffer from low back pain? While it is important that patients with low back pain educate themselves about the lower back, the information available is often more confusing than it is helpful. A single source of information should not be taken as the only truth, as this can lead to misconceptions and misunderstandings in the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain.

According to author Mario A. Gutierrez, MD, "not all patients with low back pain are the same, and not all back conditions have a common cause." Dr. Gutierrez draws on more than twenty years of neurosurgery experience and direct patient contact to guide back pain sufferers in their quest for reliable information and diagnosis with topics such as:

  • Causes of low back pain
  • Current treatments for low back pain
  • Low back surgery options
  • Treatment myths
  • Rehabilitation
  • Health insurance/disability
  • Prevention

Whether you're a patient seeking answers, an aspiring medical professional, or a practicing physician, "Understanding Low Back Pain" is a must-have reference, complete with medical terminology, a short medical glossary, and frequently used medical abbreviations.

Andreas Vesalius 1514-1564 By Stephen N. Joffe, M.D. Vesalius was the foremost pioneer of modern anatomy. Born in Brussels, he came from a family of physicians. Educated in Louvain, he studied medicine in Montpelier and Paris, returning to Louvain to teach anatomy. In 1535 he went to France to be an army surgeon to King Charles V and two years later became a professor of anatomy in Padua, Italy. Subsequently he became a physician to the court of Philip II of Spain. On a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, he received a call to return to Padua to occupy chair of Fallopius. In a storm leading to a shipwreck and subsequent death on the Isle of Zante, Vesalius was buried there in an unmarked grave in 1564. This marked the end of the 'prince of anatomy.' Vesalius' book De Humani Corporus Fabrica published in Basel in 1543, contributes one of the greatest treasures of western civilization and culture. With its companion volume the Epitome, began the modern observational science and research.

This book brings into dialogue approaches from anthropology, sociology, visual art, theatre, and literature to question what kinds of relations, frames and politics constitute pain across disciplines and methodologies. Each chapter offers a unique window onto the notoriously difficult problem of how pain is defined and communicated. The contributors reimagine the value of images and photography, poetry, history, drama, stories and interviews, not as 'better' representations of the pain experience, but as devices to navigate the complexity of pain across different physical, social, and intersubjective domains. This innovative collection provides a new access point to the phenomenon of pain and the materialities, affects, structures and institutions that constitute it. This book will appeal to readers seeking to better understand pain's complexity and the social and affective ecologies through which pain is known, communicated and lived.

Jamie Schneider's life changed with one phone call in February of 2010. After months of sensing something was not right with her body, Jamie was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer, sending her on a relentless search for information about cancer and for ideas on how to survive the devastating news. Facing her diagnosis, Jamie already knew her life would never be the same. Whether she liked it or not, she was now immersed in the dark side of cancer.

As this ancient rogue force claimed its space in her body and she became a stranger in an unfamiliar land, Jamie details how her relentless desire to understand created a voice of validation. She walked through a shadowy world of cancer that left her somewhere between alive and dead. Now Jamie exposes the harsh reality of her experience, the reactions of her friends and family, the treatment and devastating losses, the yo-yo of hope and hopelessness, and the painful paradox of living while dying.

In "Who Will Make the Pies When I'm Gone?" Jamie shares a powerful, honest glimpse into her world as she struggles to make this new limited version of her life meaningful after a cancer diagnosis.

"What do women want?" Freud's most famous question is answered by Dr. Ray Morgan in his new book, The Beauty of A Woman-Her Four Emotional, Physical & Spiritual Phases. In this book, Dr. Morgan brings his candor, wit and solid wisdoms as he chronicles each phase of a woman's journey from puberty through post-menopause. Hot flashes, night sweats, bone loss, mid-life slumps, loneliness, marital and family stress, work anxieties and issues of power all take on new urgency as women contemplate the decades ahead. Dr. Morgan explores a woman's needs, concerns, problems, passions, hopes and frustrations while drawing from the many confessions he has gained from thousands of women over the years. He guides the contemporary woman through the turbulent challenges and surprising pleasures that comes with each change in a concrete and compassionate way. Dr. Morgan reveals in this major new book that it is between puberty and post-menopause that life precisely happens and it is during this time that women are most likely to reinvent themselves and become masters of their fate.
