But it doesn't have to be deadly--now there is a way to halt the progression of the disease and reverse its effects. The Diabetes Cure gives you the means to cure yourself using hydroxycitric acid--an over-the-counter natural compound known as HCA. - 16 million people in the United States suffer from diabetes (90 to 95 percent of these cases are type 2 diabetes).
- 2,200 people are diagnosed with diabetes in the United States each day, and 798,000 will be diagnosed this year.
- Worldwide, 120 million people suffer from diabetes-that number is expected to double over the next thirty years.
- Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in people between the ages of twenty and seventy-four. Anywhere from 12,000 to 24,000 people lose their sight each year because of diabetes.
- Each year 56,000 amputations are performed because of nerve damage caused by the disease.
Pivotal to the transformation of higher education in the 21st
Century is the nature of pedagogy and its role in advancing the
aims of various stakeholders. This book brings together pre-eminent
scholars from Australia, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and the
USA to critically assess teaching and learning issues that cut
across most disciplines. In addressing long-standing and newly
emerging issues, the researchers examine the scientific evidence on
what constitutes effective teaching in college classrooms, on the
psychometric integrity of measures of teaching effectiveness, and
on the use of such measures for tenure, promotion, and salary
decisions. Systematically explored throughout the book is the
avowed linkage between classroom teaching and motivation, learning,
and performance outcomes in students.
The e-governance revolution is said to be changing everything, but
will all the modelling tools, electronic meeting management systems
and online consultations really change political judgement in
policy formation? Using case studies from local and federal
government in the US and Europe, Perri 6 examines these claims and
presents a new theory of how policy makers use and reject
information and do and don't trust each other with information in
using the new tools, before analyzing the implications for
democracy.
Emotions are central to our practices and understanding of public
life. This book examines the political, social and personal
consequences of public emotions in relation to conflict, ritual,
social classification, collective life, identity, memory and power.
A multidisciplinary collaboration between psychotherapists,
anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, and cultural
theorists, "Public Emotions" showcases cutting edge thought on the
emotional character of public life in many continents and contexts.
The book presents a novel theory of how networks of organizations
work, what varieties are possible, and how their strengths and
weaknesses differ. The argument is illustrated using four case
studies in which networks of firms and organizations in defense
contracting, biotechnology, health care, and combating crime and
disorder are examined. The book will be of major interest to
scholars and students of business and management, public
management, public policy, and organizational sociology and
practicing managers as well.
As the first African American president, Barack Obama faced unique
challenges and obstacles when addressing issues of race. While
rhetorical attacks on the basis of race directed at Obama were not
unexpected, many of the most consistent racially-motivated
criticisms of Obama were associated with his religious identity.
The Jeremiah Wright controversy gave way to the birther and 'secret
Muslim' conspiracy theories, while anxieties about Obama's identity
proved particularly potent as modes of political attack in the
context of the war on terror. This book examines the ways in which
those attacks often originated in the rhetoric of the Christian
Right and the ways in which these theories circulated amongst the
Christian Right. Perry argues that the intersections of race and
religion in American politics produced rhetoric that often
caricatured Obama as un-American, anti-Christian, and an enemy of
the state. By exploring the arguments used to cultivate these
characterizations and tracing the roots of conspiracies that worked
to delegitimize Obama's religious identity through racial claims
and stereotypes, a clearer picture emerges of what is at stake when
people can no longer separate religious convictions from political
arguments.

an informative book about African animals with beautiful
photographs. It tells us what they like to eat, and where and how
they find their food

Whilst this book is primarily compiled for nurses who care for
patients with eye disease, it will be useful to other health
professionals who are also interested in the holistic ca re of such
patients, e.g. opticians, orthop tists, social workers and junior
medical staff. The care is presented as a systematic approach to
the more common actual and potential problems. Typically, a problem
is identified with a desired outcome and the nursing interventions
possible to achieve this. Evaluation has not been included as this
is dependent on an identified time limit for outcomes to be
achieved which is individual to each patient. Part One covers the
general aspects of ophthalmie care in the various situations where
patients are nursed, e.g. casualty, theatre, wards. Part Two is
based on a medical model, where each section of the eye is studied
separately; the applied physiology of that part of the eye; the
more common conditions affecting it; the possible medical
management of the condition and the nursing care of the patient
taking into account the medical prescription. The list of medical
conditions is not exhaus tive, and only a general guideline of
medical management is given as far as it influences nursing care. A
list of widely available books for further reference to ocular
pathology and medical management is given in the Appendix.

Over the past several decades serious work in philosophy has become
almost wholly inaccessible to people who do not specialize in the
subject. To be sure, the writings of Aristotle and Kant were never
easy reading, and even relatively untechnical philosophers like
Mill or Santayana de mand careful study if we are really to
understand them. But during the last generation or two the
situation has steadily become worse for readers who may want to
know what philosophers of their own time are doing. And this is
true even though many writers have been learning to avoid the
unnecessary jargon that disfigures so much of traditional
philosophy. No matter how direct the English style of recent
philosophers may be, their methodic purposes and argument style
will re main obscure to anyone who has not gone to considerable
trouble to be introduced to them. Then too, the closeness of their
analysis and the con sequent narrowness of many of the issues
pursued make it hard to catch onto the argument without some
familiarity with slightly earlier discus sions from which those
issues emerged. All of this helps to account for the rather common
but false belief that professional philosophy is now only a
collection of technical exercises that could hardly be of interest
to anyone but the philosophers themselves."
This book, filled with beautiful photographs, tells us how animals
