Menopause is a very complex and confusing subject. It's about time
truly authoritative experts wrote a readable, comprehensive,
up-to-date, and understandable 2006 guidebook not for other
doctors, but for the menopausal woman herself. Finally
.....entertaining, creatively and insightfully written, devoid of
sleep-inducing academic boring monotony, and from a menopausal
woman's point of view. Indeed, this is the first book written for
women which clearly separates fact from fiction now four years
post-WHI study. It includes very important new 2006 findings on
menopause. This book is written because of INTENSE AND OVERWHELMING
DEMAND women have for accurate information. Since the Women's
Health Initiative (WHI) Study was published in July 2002, the world
of health care decision making has been turned upside down. The
clanking of trash cans was deafening worldwide when millions of
women tossed their hormonal medications. Immediately, physicians'
phones rang off the hook. A panic-striken confused public of
sleep-deprived, anxious menopausal women began to descend on
doctors' consultation rooms waving hand fans searching for answers.
The perfect Category Five Menopausal Storm had been set into
motion. Three conspiring fronts had converged simultaneously: 1) an
Internet information savvy baby boomer generation just starting
menopause, 2) the premature release of a well done but flawed
landmark study on menopause, and 3) a journalistic media hell bent
on lightening-like dissemination of the scariest information
possible for maximum shock effect. Menopausal women are sick and
tired of getting health care information from the media. MENOPAUSE,
JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM is a book written just forthese women. Dr.
Neil C. Boland is a board-certified seasoned practicing Ob/Gyn
Physician and Menopausal Medicine Specialist. Linda LaVelle is a
practicing aesthetician of the highest caliber who is menopausal
herself. She shares her personal and professional experiences in a
delightfully humorous style. It's really about time Website:

This book studies young people who are Not in Education,
Employment, or Training (NEET); a prime concern among policymakers.
Moving past common interpretations of NEETs as a homogeneous group,
it asks why some youth become NEET, whereas other do not. The
authors analyse diverse school-to-work patterns of young NEETs in
five typical countries and investigate the role of individual
characteristics, countries' institutions and policies, and their
complex interplay. Readers will come to understand youth
marginalization as a process that may occur during the transition
from school, vocational college, or university to work. By studying
longitudinal analyses of processes and transitions, readers will
gain the crucial insight that NEETs are not equally vulnerable, and
that most NEETs will find their way back to the labour market.
However, they will also see that in all countries, a group of
long-term NEETs exists. These exceptionally vulnerable young people
are sidelined from society and the labour market. The country cases
and cross-national studies illustrate that policies intended to
help long-term NEETs to find their way in society are very limited.
The book provides useful theoretical and empirical insights for
scholars interested in the school-to-work transition and
marginalized youth. It also provides helpful insights in
vulnerability to policymakers who aim to combat youth
marginalization. The Open Access version of this book, available at

An intense discussion has recently begun regarding current
standards in the diagnosis and treatment of benign prosta tic
hyperplasia (BPH). A number of factors have led to this discussion.
In an increasing proportion of aging men, for example, BPH causes
so-called obstructive symptoms that must be relieved by medical or
operative means. This entails an immense social and economic impact
in terms of health costs. In addition, recent data indicate the
most frequently performed operation for BPH - transurethral
resection of the prostate - is associated with a higher risk of
death due to cardiac disease than open prostatectomy. Furthermore,
studies using the recently developed technique of uro dynamics to
assess bladder outflow obstruction reveal that about 20% -30% of
patients treated with transurethral resection or open prostatectomy
are actually not obstructed. This means that these patients do not
receive the most effective therapy. Finally, various new treatment
been developed, including medical treat modalities have ment
directed at endocrine pathways in the prostatic cells, balloon
dilatation, spirals, temporary or permanent stents, C). nd the
application of heat in hyperthermia or thermo therapy. The
contributions to this volume were selected from a symposium on the
diagnosis and treatment of BPH. They are intended to provide a
comprehensive review of the state of the art in treating BPH.

‘On-road’ is a complex term used by young people to describe
street-based subculture and a general way of being. Featuring the
voices of young people, this collection explores how race, class
and gender dynamics shape this aspect of youth culture. With young
people on-road often becoming criminalised due to interlocking
structural inequalities, this book looks beyond concerns about
gangs and presents empirical research from scholars and activists
who work with and study the social lives of young people. It
addresses the concerns of practitioners, policy makers and scholars
by analysing aspects and misinterpretations of the shifting
realities of young people’s urban life.

The French Revolution brought the promise of equality to many
oppressed groups living in France. French Jews, long persecuted and
considered to be a separate nation, sought to benefit from the new
freedoms promised by the Revolution. The inspiring story of Jacques
Godard, set during the dramatic years of the Revolution, shows how
one determined individual can be a catalyst for lasting and
meaningful change. Jewish leaders engaged the services of Jacques
Godard, a 27-year-old Catholic lawyer, who had previously defended
a slave seeking his freedom, a Protestant defending his property
rights, and other disadvantaged individuals. As the official lawyer
and lobbyist for the Ashkenazi French Jewish community, Godard
ultimately persuaded the Paris Municipal Assembly to become an
important advocate in favour of equal rights for Jews, and, within
two tumultuous years, the campaign for Jewish equality achieved its
goal: Jews became equal citizens of France. Gerard Leval has
performed an important service by describing the life of a young
man who lived more than two hundred years ago and fought for causes
for which we still struggle today.

There was a general rejoicing when the regime of Tsar Nicholas II
fell in February 1917, a new era of liberty dawned. But what would
come next?This book presents sketches of encounters in the new
Russia.* Emma Goldman relates her experiences of daily life, her
meeting with Peter Kropotkin and tells the story of the life of
Maria Spiridonova, a famous SR activist who escaped from a mental
hospital where she had been locked up.* Gaston Leval and Angel
Pestana were members of a delegation from the Spanish CNT union and
reported back on what they found, especially how trade unions
functioned with policeman keeping order in union meetings. Armando
Borghi tells of a meeting with Victor Serge.* Jack Wilkens wrote a
series of articles for the French journal Le Libertaire. They tell
of how Soviets functioned, of how workers live, of working
conditions for men and women and of rural life
Boys and young men have been previously overlooked in domestic
violence and abuse policy and practice, particularly in the case of
boys who are criminalized and labelled as gang-involved by the time
they reach their teens. Jade Levell offers radical and important
insights into how boys in this context navigate their journey to
manhood with the constant presence of violence in their lives, in
addition to poverty and racial marginalization. Of equal interest
to academics and front-line practitioners, the book highlights the
narratives of these young men and makes practice recommendations
for supporting these 'hidden victims'.

Since 1994 the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board has
been involved in developing an expanded approach to developing
dietary reference standards. This approach, the Dietary Reference
Intakes (DRIs), provides a set of four nutrient-based reference
values designed to replace the Recommended Dietary Allowances
(RDAs) in the United States and the Recommended Nutrient Intakes
(RNIs) in Canada. These reference values include Estimated Average
Requirement (EAR), Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), Adequate
Intake (AI), and Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL). To date,
several volumes in this series have been published.
This new book, Applications in Dietary Assessment, provides
guidance to nutrition and health research professionals on the
application of the new DRIs. It represents both a "how to" manual
and a "why" manual. Specific examples of both appropriate and
inappropriate uses of the DRIs in assessing nutrient adequacy of
groups and of individuals are provided, along with detailed
statistical approaches for the methods described. In addition, a
clear distinction is made between assessing individuals and
assessing groups as the approaches used are quite different.
Applications in Dietary Assessment will be an essential companion
to any -- or all -- of the DRI volumes.
