This book explores the unique contribution that critical communication studies can bring to our understanding of health. It covers several broad themes: representing and mediating health; marketing and promoting health, co-producing health; and managing health crises and risks. Chapters speak to moral and social regulation through health communication, technologies of health, healthism and governmentality. They engage with historical and contemporary issues, offering readers theoretically grounded perspectives. At base, the book explores what a critical communication approach to health might look like, revealing in important-and sometimes surprising-ways how communication sits at the centre of understanding how health is constructed, contested, and made meaningful.

Where did all the matter in the universe come from?
Why is the universe expanding faster and faster? They say it's because of something called "dark energy." But is there really such a thing as dark energy? The V-Bang theory shows how there can't be, and how dark energy is not needed to explain the universe's increasing expansion rate.
Galaxies are spinning too fast for their size. Why aren't they flying apart?
They say it's because of something called "dark matter." What if there's another explanation and dark matter doesn't exist? The V-Bang theory shows how.
Space is teeming with particles that pop in and out of existence. Where do they come from?
The V-Bang theory is the only treatise that answers all of the above in one comprehensive theory.
The big bang theory has a hard time answering some of the greatest mysteries in space. The V-Bang theory answer them with ease.
A new theory that describes the beginning of our universe has been long overdue. The V-Bang is that theory. You'll be amazed at how wrong the big bang theory has been and how the V-Bang theory answer with ease what the big bang could not even begin to explain.

The evidence that life did not evolve the way described by Darwinian evolution is so compelling that the contents of the chapter "The Fossil Record Disproves Darwinian Evolution" will render the theory of evolution as obsolete as "the world is flat."

This is a riveting, action-adventure, character-driven story that takes place in the U.S., Israel and France. It's loosely based on true events and written in screenplay format to give the reader a movie experience. On September 4, 1997, DIANA CAMPUZANO, an American visiting Israel, was the victim of a terrorist attack which took the lives of seven people and injured 192, 8 critically. Diana was one of the 2 most critically injured. The attack drew international attention, with Diana's blood-covered face displayed on the front pages of many major newspapers and magazines. Actual photos of Diana before and after the attack, photos of the carnage that appeared in Newsweek, USA Today, and other publications, can be seen at www.InnocentTarget.com. One photo shows Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu visiting one Diana's injured friends. In spite of the odds against her, Diana survived. This horrific story is currently being shopped around for production as a theatrical or TV movie.

Surveillance is commonly rationalized as a solution for existing problems such as crime and terrorism. This book explores how surveillance, often disguised as risk management or harm reduction, is also at the root of a range of social and political problems. Canadian scholars from diverse disciplines interrogate the moral and ideological bases as well as the material effects of surveillance in policing, consumerism, welfare administration, disaster management, popular culture, moral regulation, news media, social movements, and anti-terrorism campaigns.
