Drawing from early modern plays and treatises on the precepts and
practices of the acting process, this study shows how the early
modern Spanish actress subscribed to various somatic practices in
an effort to prepare for a role. It provides today's reader not
only another perspective to the performance aspect of early modern
plays, but also a better understanding of how the woman of the
theater succeeded in a highly scrutinized profession. Elizabeth
Marie Cruz Petersen examines examples of comedias from playwrights
such as Lope de Vega, Luis Velez de Guevara, Tirso de Molina, and
Ana Caro, historical documents, and treatises to demonstrate that
the women of the stage transformed their bodies and their social
and cultural environment in order to succeed in early modern
Spanish theater. Women's Somatic Training in Early Modern Spanish
Theater is the first full-length, in-depth study of women actors in
seventeenth-century Spain. Unique in the field of comedia studies,
it approaches the topic from a performance perspective, using
somaesthetics as a tool to explain how an artist's lived
experiences and emotions unite in the interpretation of art,
reconfiguring her "self" via the transformation of habit.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that
approximately 40 million people in the United States suffer from a
serious illness that limits their daily activities. These illnesses
include heart and lung disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's
disease and other forms of dementia. However, significant
disparities exist across different communities in the quality and
access to care for these illnesses. Factors such as race,
ethnicity, gender, geography, socioeconomic status, or insurance
status exacerbate these complex disparities. It is critical to
reevaluate the current models of care delivery across diverse
communities and vulnerable populations. On April 4, 2019, The
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened
a workshop to investigate barriers, policy initiatives, and
opportunities for improving access to and equity of care for people
living with a serious illness. Discussions explored the current
climate of health care and opportunities to improve access to care
using organizational, community, patient and family, and clinician
perspectives. This publication summarizes the discussions and
presentations from the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter

An Eternal Affair: Scriptures and Encouragement to Carry You
throughout Your Journey with Jesus is a practical, devotional-style
book intended to introduce new believers in Christ to the faith,
providing them with basic biblical principles that every Christian
needs to know (and follow). It was also written for those who are
already walking with Jesus to be encouraged throughout many storms
of life and for them to come up higher in the things of the Lord as
they serve the body of Christ, inside and outside of church. Author
Helene Marie Cruz presents this in an autobiographical way, sharing
her heart through life experiences and revelations that God has
given her in order to evangelize and exhort Saints--old and
new.

A growing body of research indicates that social determinants of
health have a significant impact on health care utilization and
outcomes. Researchers and policymakers in the United States have
spent decades exploring and discussing approaches to integrating
health care and social services. While no nation has a truly
integrated system, many other industrialized nations invest more
heavily in social services than the United States, and are more
effective in integrating these services with health care.
Integrating health care and social services, such as accessible
housing, meals and nutrition services, transportation, and
caregiver training, is particularly important for those facing
serious illness who typically encounter multiple chronic
conditions, pain and other symptoms, functional dependency,
frailty, and significant family caregiver needs. In an effort to
better understand and facilitate discussions about the challenges
and opportunities related to integrating health care and social
services for people with serious illness, the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a full-day public workshop
on July 19, 2018 in Washington, DC. The workshop featured a broad
range of experts and stakeholders including researchers, policy
analysts, patient and family caregiving advocates, and
representatives of federal agencies. This publication summarizes
the presentations and discussions from the workshop. Table of

Statement of Task Appendix B: Workshop Agenda
Millions of Americans of all ages face the challenge of living with
serious illnesses such as advanced cancer, heart, or lung disease.
Many people with serious illness are increasingly cared for in
community settings. While the number of community-based programs to
provide care for those with serious illness has grown
significantly, the quality of care provided is not consistent
across geographic locations or care settings. Care for the serious
illness population often features gaps in coordination across sites
of care and poor patient and family perceptions as to the quality
of care provided. In an effort to better understand and facilitate
discussions about the challenges and opportunities related to
identifying and implementing quality measures for accountability
purposes in community-based serious illness care, the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a public
workshop on April 17, 2018, in Washington, DC. Workshop
participants explored the current state of quality measurement for
people with serious illness, their families, and caregivers, with
the aim of identifying next steps toward effectively implementing
measures to drive improvement in the quality of community-based
care for those facing serious illness. This publication summarizes
the presentations and discussions from the workshop. Table of
