Religions, Culture and Healthcare
Established as the first guide to stress written specifically by GPs for GPs this new edition has been completely revised and up-dated. The first edition was published privately and its success created a demand for it to be more widely available. With contributions from a range of eminent GPs this book has a personal and reflective approach that gives practical and 'tried and tested' advice for busy practitioners. It explores the causes of stress with case histories and details of specific problems that relate to the increasing pressures put on primary care teams. Illustrated throughout with cartoons by Martin Davies the book is easy to read from cover to cover and can be dipped into and used for reference as required.
Jewish Identity in Early Rabbinic Writings
Jewish Identity in Early Rabbinic Writings is more than a question of legal status: it is the experience of being Jewish or of 'Jewishness' in all its social and cultural dimensions. This work describes this experience as it emerges in Talmudic and Midrashic sources. Besides the question of “who is a Jew?”, topics include the contrast between Israel and the non-Jews, the physical embodiment of Jewish identity, the 'boundaries' of Israel and resistance to assimilation. Jewish identity, it is argued, hinges essentially on the Divine commandments (mitzvot) and on Israel's perceived proximity with the Divine. Drawing on a variety of disciplines, including the theories of William James and Merleau-Ponty, this study raises important issues in anthropology, as well as accounting for central aspects of early rabbinic Judaism.
Talent
In the early 1850s, the Rogue Valleys ancient inhabitants were forced into war by the arrival of transitory miners looking for the quickest way to get rich. The miners along Wagner Creek scoured every nook and cranny but discarded the real riches in the productive soil. The first white settlers of Talent traded the gold pan for the plow and claimed the best land in the valley to build a community that continues today. Farmers and their families depended on the soil and sun for their livelihood. Years of improvement followed and life progressed to a now bygone rhythmthe school bell rang, train whistles blew, hammers pounded, violins played, and mothers called their children for supper. The images in this book celebrate Talent residents pride in what they built, worked for, amused themselves with, and loved.

Caring for Dying People of Different Faiths
'This book is a tribute to expert nursing. It should be seen as a celebration of all that is good in nursing. It also sets out the path for nursing that is centred on relationships - the essence of person-centred nursing is based on the quality of relationships both between nurse the client and others and also between nurses their colleagues and peers. Increasingly it is a challenge for nurses to hold on to humanistic care when we practice in a world of healthcare which is performance and fiscally driven. The concept of partnership and reciprocity runs through the book like a golden thread gleaming in a rich tapestry of person-centred practice expressed via the perspectives of the contributo...
