"This book is a great asset to all men who need to make their own
health a priority." --Joe Gibbs, NFL Hall of Fame coach and owner
of 4x NASCAR champion Joe Gibbs Racing Everything you need to know
about men's health in one handy package--updated, revised, and
expanded. The authors' first edition (2018) concentrated on the
male pelvis and health concerns "down there." Urologists Neil Baum
and Scott Miller described the male pelvic region and its complex
functions before moving on to a comprehensive list of related
medical concerns, including pelvic pain, prostate problems, urinary
leakage, urinary tract infections, testosterone deficiency, STDs,
prostate cancer, and questions about infertility and sexual
dysfunction. Both authors approached these very personal and
sensitive topics with straightforward, reader-friendly language,
using case examples, illustrations, research, and occasional humor
to explain the potential causes and cures for each medical
challenge. Five years later, the authorship has been doubled to
include one more urologist, David Mobley, and a Doctor of Pharmacy,
Mindi Miller. With this expanded team of experts, the goal is to
provide men with health information--not only from prostate to
penis--but from head to toe. Nine totally new chapters address a
wide range of topics that altogether equip the reader with key
information to assess and improve his mental, physical, and
emotional health. The authors even provide step-by-step processes
to use when selecting a doctor or surgeon, and what signs might
indicate that a doctor's visit is a must. Men's Complete Health
Guide means that men no longer need to suffer in silence or dwell
in denial. This valuable resource enables every man to become his
own health advocate, more likely to discuss body concerns with
family or friends, and more open to seeking a doctor's advice for
remedy.
This collection of short stories showcases the talents of new
mystery writers from across the USA and the UK. Though neither
connected with nor endorsed by Sisters in Crime, as the title
suggests it was inspired by that fine organization, which
celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.
With the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan opened its doors to the
West and underwent remarkable changes as it sought to become a
modern nation. Accompanying the political changes that Western
trade ushered in were widespread social and cultural changes.
Newspapers, novels, poems, and plays from the Western world were
soon adapted and translated into Japanese. The combination of the
rich storytelling tradition of Japan with the realism and modernism
of the West produced some of the greatest literature of the modern
age. Historical Dictionary of Modern Japanese Literature and
Theater, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 500
cross-referenced entries authors, literary and historical
developments, trends, genres, and concepts that played a central
role in the evolution of modern Japanese literature.
While free trade agreements and other intermediary trade agreements
allow emerging nations increased access to markets, many low- and
middle-income countries lack the capacity required to meet global
standards. Deficiencies in quality of product, speed of transport,
or quality of regulation can prevent countries from reaping the
benefits of trade agreements, particularly with the United States.
This report of the CSIS Congressional Task Force on Trade Capacity
Building-cochaired by Representatives Charles Boustany (R-LA) and
Jared Polis (D-CO)-focuses on how projects to build trade capacity
can be planned and coordinated to maximize the benefits of new
trade agreements, both for the United States and its partners.
Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is a provision in
Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and other international
investment agreements that allows investors to enter arbitration
with states over treaty breaches. ISDS has become controversial in
the United States and our negotiating partners; critics, including
some governments, have argued that ISDS is unnecessary, while
others insist it is illegitimate as public policy. Treaty-based
investment protection represents a major advance in the fair
treatment of aliens and the peaceful resolution of disputes. Given
the alternatives, withdrawing from investment treaties-the logical
conclusion of the critics' position-would likely have negative
consequences for economic growth and the rule of law. This report
is an empirical review of ISDS, based on the record of disputes
under existing investment treaties.
This report focuses on the ways that a federated defense approach
can strengthen strategic partnerships and deliver more innovative
defense technologies at a lower cost-by better harnessing global
supply chain networks to expand the military supplier base and
increase the net capability available to the network of partners
and allies.
The link between economic development and state security has been
well documented. As policymakers consider that link, the model for
international development in the twenty-first century must include
both governments and the private sector. In this new report, the
CSIS Scholl Chair in International Business and the CSIS Project on
Prosperity and Development examine the myriad ways that the private
sector can engage emerging markets. Inasmuch as demand for private
capital exceeds supply, those economies that enhance investor
return and minimize security risk will be most successful in
attracting private investment. The report s authors examine the
potential implications of trade, investment, and procurement in
propelling economic development and the collaborative efforts of
the public and private sectors needed to achieve the desired
gains."
Economic integration has been a focus of Asia-Pacific affairs for
the last quarter century. To support and strengthen economic ties,
governments in the region have pursued an array of integration
initiatives, from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
forum launched in 1989 to bilateral and regional trade negotiations
currently underway. APEC has been the most successful tool of
regional trade and investment integration thus far and has the
potential to continue bridging differences between various
integration efforts in the region. This report, with input from a
wide variety of regional and topical experts, posits that
developing a common, high-standard policy approach to value chains
could pull together the various integration efforts to the
substantial economic benefit of the entire region. The report
offers eight recommendations for a broad-based APEC initiative
building on existing work in the region on supply chains and
connectivity.

Former Major League pitcher and mental skills coach for two of
baseball's legendary franchises (the Boston Red Sox and San
Francisco Giants) Bob Tewksbury takes fans inside the psychology of
baseball. In Ninety Percent Mental, Bob Tewksbury shows readers a
side of the game only he can provide, given his singular background
as both a longtime MLB pitcher and a mental skills coach for two of
the sport's most fabled franchises, the Boston Red Sox and San
Francisco Giants. Fans watching the game on television or even at
the stadium don't have access to the mind games a pitcher must play
in order to get through an at-bat, an inning, a game. Tewksbury
explores the fascinating psychology behind baseball, such as how
players use techniques of imagery, self-awareness, and strategic
thinking to maximize performance, and how a pitcher's strategy
changes throughout a game. He also offers an in-depth look into
some of baseball's most monumental moments and intimate anecdotes
from a "who's who" of the game, including legendary players who
Tewksbury played with and against (such as Mark McGwire, Craig
Biggio, and Greg Maddux), game-changing managers and executives
(Joe Torre, Bruce Bochy, Brian Sabean), and current star players
(Jon Lester, Anthony Rizzo, Andrew Miller, Rich Hill). With
Tewksbury's esoteric knowledge as a thinking-fan's player and his
expertise as a "baseball whisperer", this entertaining book is
perfect for any fan who wants to see the game in a way he or she
has never seen it before. Ninety Percent Mental will deliver an
unprecedented look at the mound games and mind games of Major
League Baseball.
