The spirits of the Shakers are still active in their historic
homes, meeting houses, and on the land where they once toiled,
prayed, and sang. Shaker Spirits, Shaker Ghosts offers ghost hunter
investigations, haunted tales from White Water Shaker village in
Ohio, walkthrough village reports from psychics, and an interview
with a Shaker scholar. Thomas Freese was immersed in their music
for ten years when he performed with the Pleasant Hill Singers. At
Shakertown in Mercer County, Kentucky, he heard, then recorded,
true tales from both visitors and employees of Pleasant Hill.
Ghostly singing is heard in the Meeting House, children are scared
of moving tombstones in the graveyard, spirit figures walk the
village lane, and ghosts enter guest rooms. Are you ready to have
an encounter with a Shaker ghost? We thought so.
This collection explores Kuhn's 1970 perception of a scientific
revolution in the form of a cyclical sequence of anomaly
recognition; insecurity, alternative ideas, schools of thought and
dominating practices. Cash flow reporting has become a dominant
accounting practice which emerged from a developmental process of
Kuhnian form. The text is constructed around the various stages
identified by Kuhn and selected readings are categorised
accordingly.
From the author of The Epidemic of Empathy in Healthcare and The
Good Doctor comes a book that explores how the persistent pandemic
has revealed what excellence in healthcare truly means and presents
an action plan to achieve it. The goal of healthcare has always
been to reduce suffering, but Covid-19 has sharpened and added
important nuances to our understanding of what that means. In
Healthcare's Path Forward, Thomas Lee explores how the work of
healthcare is being transformed by a deeper knowledge of what
suffering means for patients, their families, and healthcare
providers themselves. He reveals how to: build patient trust,
starting with their initial internet search develop a
high-reliability culture that eases patient fears make equity and
inclusiveness a cultural norm actively listen to patients across
all channels of communication enhance understanding of important
issues through AI and other means Lee uses data to demonstrate
trends and insights into how health systems should respond, offers
examples of organizations making major advancements, and provides
specific, practical recommendations for healthcare leaders,
clinicians, and other caregivers. This book is a thoughtful,
impassioned call to action.

This work reviews and explores various aspects of uchuva growth and
development from seed germination, vegetative growth and
phyllotaxy, floral development, pollination, and pollen morphology
through fruit development, properties and health benefits. Other
sections of the book cover uchuva genetic diversity, hybridization,
chromosome number and morphological diversity. Uchuva is
economically important in most South American counties, has been
growing in popularity in Central America, and is marketed in North
American and Europe as the golden berry. This is the first concise
reference work that delves into the fascinating world of uchuva
reproductive biology. It includes the latest scientific references,
some of which have been contributed by the authors of the current
book. The authors have observed the plant in the field and have
produced a unique photographic record to help the reader see the
actual morphological structures and developmental processes in
action.
"He's the toughest street fighter alive." Freddie Foreman Picture a
man, he's tall, not excessively so, yet as wide as he is high. This
man is a spitting and growling street brawler; a tank full of ready
to blow, muscle-fuelled aggression. Imagine, if you will, the comic
book style Bulldog of Great British stamp. Well, there you have
him! The prototypical face taken from the terraces of an '80s
football fan's rolled-up newspaper cosh; a poster-boy of
malevolence left over from Thatcher's post-punk Britain. Stormin'
Norman's his name and when this storm is erupting, he's like a
force-nine gale fused with a hurricane. In his heyday, Norman saw
off a plethora of gangland minders, and with his own style of
hands-on education, taught Glasgow's prolific hitman, Billy McPhee,
the laws of the Guv'nor's land. He's the Godfather of Aylesbury,
former British Bare-Knuckle Champion, and undefeated European
Boxing Federation 'Guv'nor'. The loveable lunatic with the heart of
a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Yes, this my accidental friends, is the new
Guv'nor. He is the man who rebuked many a heathen, but was also
everyone's friend, and for all the right reasons. So, settle in
with your favourite tipple, and let us regale you with a lifetime
of fronting the doors, serving at Her Majesty's pleasure, righting
wrongs, and brutal bare-knuckle tear-ups.
Aims and Scope Patients are more empowered to shape their own
health care today than ever before. Health information technologies
are creating new opportunities for patients and families to
participate actively in their care, manage their medical problems
and improve communication with their healthcare providers.
Moreover, health information technologies are enabling healthcare
providers to partner with their patients in a bold effort to
optimize quality of care, improve health outcomes and transform the
healthcare system on the macro-level. In this book, leading figures
discuss the existing needs, challenges and opportunities for
improving patient engagement and empowerment through health
information technology, mapping out what has been accomplished and
what work remains to truly transform the care we deliver and engage
patients in their care. Policymakers, healthcare providers and
administrators, consultants and industry managers, researchers and
students and, not least, patients and their family members should
all find value in this book. "In the exciting period that lies just
ahead, more will be needed than simply connecting patients to
clinicians, and clinicians to each other. The health care systems
that will be most effective in meeting patients' needs will be
those that can actually design their 'human wares' around that
purpose. This book provides deep insight into how information
technology can and will support that redesign." Thomas H. Lee, MD,
MSc, Chief Medical Officer, Press Ganey Associates; Professor of
Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Professor of Health Policy and
Management, Harvard School of Public Health The Editors: Drs. Maria
