Comedy starring Uma Thurman. Rafi (Thurman) is a 37-year-old
photographer who meets David (Bryan Greenberg), a 23-year-old
painter fresh out of college. There's an instant attraction between
them, but will the 14-year age gap prove insurmountable? And what
about the demands of David's overbearing mother, Lisa (Meryl
Streep), who also happens to be Rafi's therapist?
Not long ago, it was assumed that coronary heart disease mainly--or
only--affected men. Now that CHD is recognized as a leading killer
of women as well as men, numerous research studies have been made
of its diverse presentations in women, causal factors, and
possibilities for prevention and treatment. The expert
contributions to Psychosocial Stress and Cardiovascular Disease in
Women span the results of this cross-disciplinary awareness. This
progressive resource takes a three-dimensional approach to its
subject, focusing on epidemiology and risk factors for heart
disease in women, the psycho- and neurobiology of stress and
coronary disease, and promising clinical interventions. Chapters
identify and analyze multiple intersections of social, biological,
and psychological factors in affecting women's heart health, from
the social dimensions of depression to genetic/environmental
interactions to the demands of balancing work and family. These
wide-ranging findings will assist and motivate professionals in
choosing and creating interventions, developing appropriate
prevention strategies, and reducing gender-based disparities in
health care. Among the topics covered: Enhancing women's heart
health: a global perspective. Coronary heart disease in women:
evolution of our knowledge. Gender observations on basic
physiological stress mechanisms in men and women. Sleep as a means
of recovery and restitution in women. LifeSkills training:
benefiting both genders, for different reasons. Gender
considerations in psychosocial-behavioral interventions for
coronary heart disease. In particular this book will be helpful for
cardiologists and other clinicians who may ask themselves why
patients do not seem to make rational choices. "Why do patients not
follow the advice they are offered?" is a common complaint. The
role of psychosocial stress for patient compliance and adherence
can be traced throughout the volume. It is emphasized in the
chapters on psychosocial interventions along with other tangible
and conceptual suggestions and experiences with psychosocial stress
and life style change. Psychosocial Stress and Cardiovascular
Disease in Women offers a deep practical level of understanding of
this epidemic to help expand the work of health and clinical
psychologists, sociologists, cardiologists, primary care
physicians, and epidemiologists.
Kathy once lived in a nightmare known only to herself and her
abusive husband. She did all she could to hide the sorrow, fear,
and anger she felt inside, especially from her two daughters. For
Kathy, divorce was a release from Bruce's cruelty, psychological
games, and control. To her daughters, it was the start of a period
of great resentment.
The stress of Kathy's new home environment only aggravates
thirteen-year-old Lisa's compulsive lying. She returns sullen from
each weekend visit with her father, increasingly desperate for her
parents to reconcile. Kathy, however, is only interested in moving
on with her life.
When a chance meeting with a new neighbor rekindles a part of
Kathy's heart that she thought was too damanged to ever love again,
she's taken aback. But she cannot deny her attraction to Matthew,
and soon, the wounded divorcee is transformed into a bride-to-be.
Enraged, Lisa tells a devastating lie about Matthew, in the hopes
that her mother will cancel the wedding. Not yet satisfied with the
results, Lisa coerces her sister to lie for her, and the young
girl's false testimony is enough to get Matthew convicted and
sentenced to years in prison.
Knowing with every fiber of her being that her fiance is
innocent, Kathy prays that the truth will somehow emerge. Can she
convince her daughters to step up and do the right thing to save
Matthew? She needs a miracle-perhaps the miracle of love.
This book restores to view a masterpiece of beauty and legal
scholarship, which has been lost for almost two hundred
years. Produced anonymously in 1838, The Tree of Legal
Knowledge is an elaborate visualization in five large colored
plates of the law as stated in Sir William Blackstone’s
Commentaries on the Laws of England. Intended as “an
assistant for students in the study of law,” the study aid was
not a simple diagram but a beautiful tree with each branch and twig
labeled with legal terms and concepts from the Commentaries.
Not for law students only, the original was also intended to be of
use to the practicing attorney and educated gentleman “in
consolidating his learning and forming an instructive and
ornamental appendage to an office.” Although Blackstone’s
Commentaries had been first published eighty years earlier, it
remained the primary source for knowledge of English law and
required reading for American law students. The Commentaries
remain relevant today and are frequently cited by the U.S. Supreme
Court as a source for the original understanding of legal rights
and obligations at the time of American Independence.
Despite its artistic beauty and academic significance, The Tree of
Legal Knowledge had seemingly disappeared shortly after its
publication. It is not included in the collection of any
library, including the Library of Congress or in Yale
University’s Blackstone Collection, the largest in the
world. It is not listed in the comprehensive Bibliographical
Catalog of William Blackstone, edited by Ann Jordan Laeuchli,
published for the Yale Law Library in 2015. The
present volume reproduces the only extant copy of The Tree of Legal
Knowledge. It includes an introduction by the editor that
places The Tree in historical context and identifies the anonymous
author, an otherwise unknown lawyer. In addition, it
reprints the original author’s introduction and “explanation of
the branches,” both extensively annotated. This book
restores this lost masterpiece to its proper place in legal
history. The Tree is a beautiful—and accurate—depiction
of English law as expounded in Blackstone’s Commentaries, the
single most important book in the history of the common law.
This volume brings together contributions from experts in the field
of Pasteurella research. Its covers areas such as comparative
genomics, pathogenic mechanisms, bacterial proteomics, as well as a
detailed description and analysis of PMT and its interaction with
host tissues, cells, immune system, and signalling pathways.
