The Holistic Approach To Cancer
When people are told they have cancer, they are apt to feel shocked, angry and frightened. They usually still have the idea that they have 'caught' a fatal disease, and, unless it has been found early on, that they will inevitably slip towards death within a measurable period of a few years or even a few months. Furthermore, most patients still think that only the doctors can help them, and tend to assume that even this help is regrettably limited. For most patients have not yet heard of a very different idea about the nature of cancer and its cure, which is now gaining ground. You have been told that you have cancer. There is a great deal you can do to help yourself. You have a good chance ...

Hinduism and the Ethics of Warfare in South Asia
This book challenges the view, common among Western scholars, that precolonial India lacked a tradition of military philosophy. It traces the evolution of theories of warfare in India from the dawn of civilization, focusing on the debate between Dharmayuddha (Just War) and Kutayuddha (Unjust War) within Hindu philosophy. This debate centers around four questions: What is war? What justifies it? How should it be waged? And what are its potential repercussions? This body of literature provides evidence of the historical evolution of strategic thought in the Indian subcontinent that has heretofore been neglected by modern historians. Further, it provides a counterpoint to scholarship in political science that engages solely with Western theories in its analysis of independent India's philosophy of warfare. Ultimately, a better understanding of the legacy of ancient India's strategic theorizing will enable more accurate analysis of modern India's military and nuclear policies.

A Geography of Stories
When students leave the classroom, interesting things can happen, especially when they write. These sophomores from Waverly High venture out of their comfort zones in rural eastern Nebraska and do a kind of multi-genre research project by interviewing people, learning about various businesses, and researching native species, local events, and write even a little bit of poetry when they look at the landscape. The results are enjoyable and interesting.
