When the Apollo astronauts went to the moon, the whole world
watched. When the Fly Me to the Moon art quilt challenge went out,
it went global. This book showcases the curated results of that
call for entries: 179 art quilts by over 130 artists from 8
countries, expressing their interpretation of the space program and
all things lunar. Walk down memory lane or discover the story of
the missions for the first time, but most importantly, enjoy a trip
to the moon and beyond without the time and rigors of space
training. As you travel into space, meet the astronauts, hum the
tunes, and listen to the artists tell you about their pieces. Find
endless inspiration and discover what the moon is really made of:
cotton, thread, crystals, paint, ink, tulle, and crocheted lace.
This comprehensive reference delves into the complex process of

insurance issues that guide choices and the cognitive and affective
factors that can make patients decide against their best interests.
Wide-ranging coverage offers a robust evidence base for
understanding decision making across the lifespan, among family
members, in the context of evolving healthcare systems, and in the
face of life-changing diagnosis. The section on applied decision
making reviews the effectiveness of decision-making tools in
healthcare, featuring real-world examples and guidelines for
tailored communications with patients. Throughout, contributors
spotlight the practical importance of the field and the pressing
need to strengthen health decision-making skills on both sides of
the clinician/client dyad. Among the Handbook's topics: From
laboratory to clinic and back: connecting neuroeconomic and
clinical mea sures of decision-making dysfunctions. Strategies to
promote the maintenance of behavior change: moving from theoretical
principles to practices. Shared decision making and the
patient-provider relationship. Overcoming the many pitfalls of
communicating risk. Evidence-based medicine and decision-making
policy. The internet, social media, and health decision making. The
Handbook of Health Decision Science will interest a wide span of

A long-overdue tribute to a selection of women who have shaped
history through herstory, this rich collection of 108 mixed-media
fiber art pieces celebrates extraordinary women who cracked glass
ceilings, made important discoveries, or shook the world by
breaking into fields dominated by men. The subjects of these
exquisite quilts, by 85 artists from 7 countries, include
politicians and scientists, environmentalists and entertainers,
activists and artists, athletes and authors-and even a fictional
heroine. The quilting medium mirrors the advances these women have
made, as the art quilt movement has inspired women to express their
creativity in a whole new way.
This new edition is a co-publication between NMS Enterprises -
Publishing and the Edinburgh Geological Society. It has been
expanded and redesigned and has a practical flexi-binding. The book
describes the varied rocks and structures that occur within the
largely metasediments of the Moine Supergroup of the northern and
central highlands of Scotland. The excursions are, for the most
part, along major roads, allowing easy access to some of the finest
outcrops of deformed and metamorphosed sandstones in Scotland.
Professional geologists will find the book invaluable as will the
enthusiastic amateur and the undergraduate student.
