Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death throughout the world. Chronic negative emotions such as depression and anxiety place cardiac patients at greater risk for death and recurrence of cardiovascular disease. In 2008 the editor published a book related to this topic, titled Psychotherapy with Cardiac Patients: Behavioral Cardiology in Practice (American Psychological Association).

In this concise but stimulating book on history and Greek culture, Hans-Joachim Gehrke continues to refine his work on 'intentional history', which he defines as a history in the self-understanding of social groups and communities – connected to a corresponding understanding of the other – which is important, even essential, for the collective identity, social cohesion, political behaviour and the cultural orientation of such units. In a series of four chapters Gehrke illustrates how Greeks' histories were consciously employed to help shape political and social realities. In particular, he argues that poets were initially the masters of the past and that this dominance of the aesthetic in the view of the past led to an indissoluble amalgamation of myth and history and lasting tension between poetry and truth in the genre of historiography. The book reveals a more sophisticated picture of Greek historiography, its intellectual foundations, and its wider social-political contexts.

Prostate cancer is diagnosed commonly in the course of general health screening. Very often it is difficult to tell whether the cancer will be aggressive and lethal or will be so slow growing that it will not affect the patient's survival. Treatment can have a major impact on the patient's health-related quality of life. This book presents cutting-edge research in predicting the behavior of localized and metastatic cancer, targeted treatment of cancer that has spread minimally, response to newer methods of treatment, and rehabilitation of patients.
La Storia è un bene comune Siamo ovviamente d’accordo. Ma occorre subito precisare che per dare dignità nelle scuole a questa disciplina è necessario ripensarne i contenuti, le metodologie di insegnamento e apprendimento, le finalità formative. In breve mettere in discussione il canone tradizionale di una storia che sempre meno appassiona, interessa, coinvolge studentesse e studenti. E forse le/gli stessi docenti chiamati a insegnarla. Con questa sfida l’Associazione Clio ‘92 si confronta da tempo. Il volume "Il Presente e le sue storie" propone un’altra importante tappa della ricerca di una nuova storia generale scolastica. Presupposti essenziali: riconnettere il passato con il ...
