This practical guide provides patients who have inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD) with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies
for coping with IBD. It teaches a number of skills that can make
coping with Crohn's or colitis easier. Chapters provide an overview
of Crohn's and colitis as well as the interplay between stress and
the gut, before offering strategies on relaxation training,
physical activity, managing stress and avoidance, diet and
nutrition, and medical treatment options. The book also emphasizes
the importance of the doctor-patient relationship and helps
patients learn how to think about medical management (including the
possibility of surgery) to minimize anxiety from catastrophic
thoughts and balance potential risks and benefits appropriately.
Dr. Hunt challenges readers to engage in specific behavioral
experiments to reduce shame and stigma and highlights practical
applications with case illustrations and clinical vignettes. This
book can be used as a standalone self-help book or in conjunction

Deciding Where to Live: Information Studies on Where to Live in
America explores major themes related to where to live in America,
not only about the acquisition of a home but also the ways in which
where one lives relates to one's cultural identity. It shows how
changes in media and information technology are shaping both our
housing choices and our understanding of the meaning of personal
place. The work is written using widely accessible language but
supported by a strong academic foundation from information studies
and other humanities and social science disciplines. Chapters
analyze everyday information behavior related to questions about
where to live. The eleven major chapters are: Chapter 1: Where to
live as an information problem: three contemporary examples Chapter
2: Turning in place: Real estate agents and the move from
information custodians to information brokers Chapter 3: The
Evolving Residential Real Estate Information Ecosystem: The Rise of
Zillow Chapter 4: Privacy, Surveillance, and the "Smart Home"
Chapter 5: This Old House, Fixer Upper, and Better Homes &
Gardens: The Housing Crisis and Media Sources Chapter 6: A
Community Responds to Growth: An Information Story About What Makes
for a Good Place to Live." Chapter 7: The Valley Between Us: The
meta-hodology of racial segregation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Chapter
8: Modeling Hope: Boundary Objects and Design Patterns in a
Heartland Heterotopia Chapter 9: Home buying in Everyday Life: How
Emotion and Time Pressure Shape High Stakes Deciders' Information
Behavior Chapter 10: In Search of Home: Examining Information
Seeking and Sources That Help African Americans Determine Where to
Live Chapter 11: Where to Live in Retirement: A Complex Information
Problem While the book is partly about the goal-directed activity
of individuals who want to buy a house, and the infrastructure that
supports that activity, it is also about personal activities that
are either not goal directed or are directed at other goals such as
deciding in which geographic location to live, personal
entertainment, cultural understanding, or identity formation.

This book examines food in the United States in the age of the
Internet. One major theme running through the book isbusiness
opportunities and failures, as well as the harms to consumers and
traditional brick-and-mortar companies that occurred as
entrepreneurs tried to take advantage of the Internet to create
online companies related to food. The other major theme is the
concept of trust online and different models used by different
companies to make their web presence seem trustworthy. The book
describes a number of major food companies, including AllRecipes,
Betty Crocker, Cook's Illustrated, Epicurious, Groupon, OpenTable,
and Yelp. The book draws on business history, food studies, and
information studies for its approach. "
Formal approaches are those taken by government bodies through
laws, court decisions and actions of government regulatory bodies.
Informal approaches are those taken by individuals, non profit
organizations, industries working at self-regulation, etc. Because
the formal means are tied to a particular legal system, this kind
of approach is nation-specific and the book focuses on the United
States. But many of the things the authors have to say about US
food policy and the interactions between formal and informal
approaches would also be of interest to policymakers and food
industry professionals in other countries. Coverage includes the
regulation of food advertising on children's television and the
internet, regulation of school lunch programsand the influence of
Eleanor Roosevelt and Michelle Obama."
The world of publishing is changing, and you've already begun to
realize it. While there are still the same authors on the same
tables at your local bookstore, there are other names that are
showing up online and in your email inbox. But how are they getting
attention if they're not doing publishing 'the way it's always been
done'? For a thought leader like you, you already have bigger ideas
about how the world should, rather, how the world COULD work to
support the cutting edge thoughts you want to share. You're not
interested in simply doing the same old things because you're not
interested in the same old results. In the past year, you've
noticed how social media has changed the way we interact and the
way we share information. You've seen Facebook turn into a sort of
gathering place and Twitter become the first place where thoughts
are born. But you want to publish. You want to take your ideas a
step further and you're not interested in spending a lot of money
or sending out hundreds of proposals. "Lead Me to Success in
Publishing: 101 Ways" is the book for you. Bestselling author
Melissa G. Wilson and literary agent and author Jon Malysiak help
set you on your path to bestseller status with these 101 publishing
tips that break down the ever-changing world of publishing, and get
you thinking about not only writing your book but-just, if not
more, importantly-how to market and promote your book once it's
published. You may not hit the bestseller lists right away, but
with "Lead Me to Success in Publishing," you will be well on your
way. Welcome to 2012. This is YOUR year of success.
In Baring Witness, Holly Welker and thirty-six Mormon women write
about devotion and love and luck, about the wonder of discovery,
and about the journeys, both thorny and magical, to humor, grace,
and contentment. They speak to a diversity of life experiences:
what happens when one partner rejects Church teachings; marrying
outside one's faith; the pain of divorce and widowhood; the horrors
of spousal abuse; the hard journey from visions of an idealized
marriage to the everyday truth; sexuality within Mormon marriage;
how the pressure to find a husband shapes young women's actions and
sense of self; and the ways Mormon belief and culture can influence
second marriages and same-sex unions. The result is an unflinching
look at the earthly realities of an institution central to Mormon
life.

For nearly two decades, Preston Singletary has straddled two unique
cultures, melding his Tlingit ancestry with the dynamism of the
Studio Glass Movement. In the process, he has created an
extraordinarily distinctive and powerful body of work that depicts
cultural and historical images in richly detailed, beautifully hued
glass. Singletary has translated the visual vocabulary of patterns,
narratives, and systems of Native woodcarving and painted art into
glass, a material historically associated with Native peoples
through an extensive network of trading routes. Singletary entered
the world of glassblowing as an assistant, mastering the techniques
of the European tradition as he worked alongside Seattle-area
artists such as Benjamin Moore and Dante Marioni. He also had
opportunities to learn the secrets of the Venetian glass masters
while working with Italian legends Lino Tagliapietra and Pino
Signoretto. The Northwest Native icons, supernatural beings,
transformative themes, animal spirits, shamanism, and basketry
design of Singletary's Tlingit heritage are manifested in his work,
creating a unique whole that resonates on many levels and reveals a
new artistic direction. This mid-career retrospective of his work
includes contributions by Melissa G. Post, Steven Clay Brown, and
Walter Porter, as well as a DVD of Singletary working in his
studio. Preston Singletary's works are in museum collections around
the world, including the National Museum of the American Indian;
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Seattle Art Museum; Corning Museum of
Glass; Mint Museum of Art; the Heard Museum; and the Handelsbanken
(Stockholm, Sweden).
