For more than two decades, legendary British photographer David
Yarrow has created evocative photography of some of the world s
most iconic personalities, sporting moments, and endangered
wildlife. With his images raising huge sums for charity, he is one
of the most relevant and best-selling photographers in the world
today. This stunning volume is a retrospective of Yarrow s
storytelling work, which has earned him wide acclaim in the
fine-art market. This assemblage of truly unmatched work brings the
magic and brilliance of the big screen to each singular image.
Inspired by the great cinematic directors, Yarrow tells stories
from the Wild West to the pirates of the Caribbean, the coasts of
Alaska to the plains of Africa, Manhattan to an old saloon in
Montana. Whether poignant, dramatic, or provocative, they are
always epic. Offering additional insight are behind-the-scenes
photos and Yarrow s own first-person contextual narratives. The
book features a mix of more than 150 yet-to-be-published and
already iconic photographs, including work from assignments with
some of the biggest names and brands in fashion, sports, and
culture, like Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Russell Wilson,
Ciara, and Alessandra Ambrosio.
International supermodel Cindy Crawford chronicles her life and
career, sharing stories and lessons learned, and featuring her most
memorable images in this New York Times bestseller. Cindy Crawford
was the cornerstone of the golden age of the supermodel in the
1990s. She blazed a trail during that decade, seamlessly moving
between the runway to unconventional outlets, such as cutting-edge
MTV, Super Bowl commercials, and even Playboy magazine. On the eve
of her fiftieth birthday, Crawford looks back, photo shoot by photo
shoot, on a remarkable career and various life lessons she
absorbed. She discusses her earliest modeling years and learning
how to become less self-conscious in front of a camera; trusting
her own instincts about creating positive messages about a healthy
and strong body image that she knew would reach women of all ages;
her feelings about becoming a wife and a mother; and her thoughts
about turning fifty and what she would tell her younger self if she
had the chance. The photographs span her entire career, beginning
from the mid 1980s, and feature unpublished images from Crawford's
personal archive in addition to images by every top name in fashion
photography, including Annie Leibovitz, Arthur Elgort, Helmut
Newton, Herb Ritts, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier, and Richard
Avedon, among others. A beautifully illustrated series of stories,
Becoming is a smart and engaging book that sheds light into the
life and work of an extraordinary woman.
This book provides a clear and authoritative summary of the results
and clinical implications of research in spiritual healing, energy
medicine and the effects of intentionality. Recent publications in
the Archives of Internal Medicine, the Western Journal of Medicine,
JAMA and the Annals of Internal Medicine have focused on prayer,
distant healing and spiritual healing. Therapeutic touch is taught
in many nursing schools and laying-on-of-hands and mental healing
are of great interest to the public. But what is the science behind
these practices? Is there any research? Is it any good? What are
the implications of this research for medicine and science? How
should investigation of spiritual healing proceed, if at all? These
are the questions this book explores. This book derives from a
project sponsored by the Lawrence S. Rockefeller for the purpose of
rigorously evaluating the science of spiritual healing. To produce
the book, some of the best researchers in these areas were asked to
use a standard set of quality criteria for the evaluation of
science and clinical research. A conference of scientists,
physicians, ministers and others then reviewed and discussed this
literature and addressed methods for their further evaluation. The
conference was organised by the Uniformed Services University of
the Health Sciences, Duke University, Wake Forest University and
the Institute of Noetic Sciences. The evidence level of these areas
was rated using standards established by government groups and
published in JAMA for classification of the amount and quality of
evidence in medicine. Each area was summarised, and clinical
implications identified. Recommendations for future research and
investigating the impact of healing practices in the clinical
setting were also made. Provides the most authoritative discussion
of the science of healing intention and energy medicine. Offers a
clear analysis and assessment of research results and their
relative quality. Explores the clinical implications for research
results and demonstrates how they may be applied in practice.
Provides guidelines for further research and study on the subject.

From the farm to the jobs that protect our freedoms, this book
shows and tells through the words and colored pencil illustrations.
Trooper chuckled at this answer and said, "Funny Face has a job?"
"Why yes," I replied. "Everyone of us has a job to do. The hens lay
eggs for people to eat. That is their job." I told him people have
jobs too. That is what makes the world go 'round.
Book #3 is filled with many lessons which involve medical issues.
As a child with a heart defect, I remember going through medical
procedures and test which left me with scars that saved my life.
Told through one of our hens, that in fact, has a scar. With a
sense of humor and colorful illustrations, she tells the story to
her animal friends, about how she came about her scar and the
medical procedures she went through. She realizes the scar is what
helped her to have a normal life and how the medical staff made her
feel safe. This story has many lessons. More stories about other
test to follow. Dedicated to my parents, my family, my friends, and
all the medical staff that took care of me.
