by Michael Paul Ladanyi and Christine E. Laine(Illustrations and cover by C. E. Laine)An astounding illustrated collection of poems by two-time Pushcart Prize Nominees Michael Paul Ladanyi and Christine E. Laine (24 pages).Poet Cheryl Snell, says... "I read this lovely book over the weekend. It is a wonderful duet, both voices sure, distinctive, true. Intensely visual, the work is deepened with the photographs and the emotional center of separate observations is bull's eyed by each poet, every time. Among the startling and memorable images, there is dark humor and a dare to have courage as we tremble on the precipice in a time of ash and sin. I recommend Suburban Fairy Tales of Brilliant Ash and Blue Sins."
Poverty and inequality in Latin America are easily recognizable in the faces of women, Afro-descendents, the indigenous, people with disabilities, victims of HIV/AIDS, and other groups outside the societal mainstream. Social Inclusion and Economic Development in Latin America reviews the common features of these excluded populations, including their invisibility in official statistics and the stigma, discrimination, and disadvantages they have long endured. But it also examines the region's inclusionary policies and programs that can improve access by these groups to the quality social services and economic and political resources these groups need to level the playing field. Case studies examine ethnic and racial political organization, gender quotas, and labor markets across the region, and social exclusion in Brazil, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. Comparative studies summarize social inclusion policies of both the European Union and selected countries on the Continent.
This book is an introduction to health care as a complex adaptive system, a system that feeds back on itself. The first section introduces systems and complexity theory from a science, historical, epistemological, and technical perspective, describing the principles and mathematics. Subsequent sections build on the health applications of systems science theory, from human physiology to medical decision making, population health and health services research. The aim of the book is to introduce and expand on important population health issues from a systems and complexity perspective, highlight current research developments and their implications for health care delivery, consider their ethical implications, and to suggest directions for and potential pitfalls in the future.
