As the people of the black communities began to understand the dynamics of how things operated and began doing something about their situations instead of waiting for someone else to come and fix it for them, the price of everything began to cost plenty. The blacks just spent more and more money (besides it was becoming to be no good anywhere but on the island anyway and stuff was coming form everywhere, everything but oil, and that was what the Anglish needed to keep their thing going.)
The purpose in writing this book was to fill a void that I noticed in the texts that I was able to read authored by others. I have a unique experience and point of view of musculoskeletal pain honed over 36 years and 45,000 patients. The experience of treating patients directly has been outstanding for me in a professional and personal sense. The advice given in this text is similar to what you would have heard if I had treated you directly. Of course, I have to disclaim any direct results to you if you read this text, because I have not examined you. The ideas are sound, and proven over those many years and great number of patients. The outcome studies verify the validity of the approaches to pain that are written in this text. The approaches we use are scientific, in that the results are predictable, which is the hallmark of science. The examples given as part of the discussion in the text are from my records. This book will empower you to make decisions about your pain.

When Mary Catherine, the only child of old-fashioned parents, becomes a teacher in a ghetto school, she and her family will never be the same. New ideas and new relationships lead to trouble at home as well as on the job. Since the year is 1953, her struggle to adapt to change plays out against a daily barrage of headlines about a Soviet H-bomb and the long reach of Senator Joseph McCarthy's Red witch hunt. The two colleagues who offer support each prove to be threat to her peace of mind. The discovery of her father's double life and the demands of her own increasing sexuality finally drive her to a painful decision.
Demystifying Steroids uncovers the "other side" of anabolic steroids and their possible benefits using real case examples from thousands of patients and medical research. This book empowers the reader to discover a new truth about anabolic steroids for themselves. Dr. Jesse Haggard has organized the information into two sections. The first section is easy to read and discusses steroid use in medicine and sports. Popular beliefs about anabolic steroids are challenged, including the dangers of steroid use. Many case examples are included to illustrate the unfamiliar benefits of steroids in cancer, multiple sclerosis, women, and HIV. The effect professional sports has on the medical use of steroids is also assessed and recommendations are made to reduce such an influence. The second section is more technical and is intended for the reader who wants to achieve a greater understanding of the medical research and clinical pearls of anabolic steroid therapies. The historical and current medical literature regarding prostate cancer is examined. Intervention models of anabolic steroids and the subsequent effect on disease prevalence are projected using this information. In addition, Dr. Haggard describes clinical methods, not commonly discussed, for achieving the greatest clinical outcomes and reducing or eliminating many potential adverse effects of anabolic steroid treatments.

A timely book about assessing, coping with, and mitigating burnout in higher education. Faculty often talk about how busy, overwhelmed, and stressed they are. These qualities are seen as badges of honor in a capitalist culture that values productivity above all else. But for many women in higher education, exhaustion and stress go far deeper than end-of-the-semester malaise. Burnout, a mental health syndrome caused by chronic workplace stress, is endemic to higher education in a patriarchal, productivity-obsessed culture. In this unique book for women in higher education, Rebecca Pope-Ruark, PhD, draws from her own burnout experience, as well as collected stories of faculty in various roles and career stages, interviews with coaches and educational developers, and extensive secondary research to address and mitigate burnout. Pope-Ruark lays out four pillars of burnout resilience for faculty members: purpose, compassion, connection, and balance. Each chapter contains relatable stories, reflective opportunities and exercises, and advice from women in higher education. Blending memoir, key research, and reflection opportunities, Pope-Ruark helps faculty not only address burnout personally but also use the tools in this book to eradicate the systemic conditions that cause it in the first place. As burnout becomes more visible, we can destigmatize it by acknowledging that women are not unraveling; instead, women in higher education are reckoning with the productivity cult embedded in our institutions, recognizing how it shapes their understanding and approach to faculty work, and learning how they can remedy it for themselves, their peers, and women faculty in the future.
