Pai de filho depressivo, é o resultado de uma longa experiência que vivi com a depressão de meu filho e que tem por finalidade chamar a atenção de pais, avós, professores, pastores e líderes para essa triste realidade. Em nosso caso, as duas tentativas de suicídio não alcançaram o resultado por intervenção milagrosa do Senhor, mas, infelizmente, nem todos os pais tiveram a mesma sorte. Não se trata de um manual técnico, mas sim de um descritivo analítico escrito em linguajar de fácil assimilação, cujo objetivo é o de alcançar o maior número de lares e famílias que lutam contra a depressão em suas casas. Este livro também é indicado, como obra de orientação e auxílio, a todas as pessoas que ainda que de maneira indireta mantenham contato com pessoas deprimidas e ansiosas. Por fim, esta obra não deve ser utilizada como substitutivo ao tratamento médico, mas sim como auxílio a todos aqueles que, assim como eu, passaram ou estão enfrentando um quadro depressivo na família, posto que apresenta respostas a uma série de questionamentos, tanto dos pais quanto dos próprios enfermos.
"This book traces the history of rock 'n' roll in Mexico and the rise of the native countercultural movement La Onda (the wave). This story frames the most significant crisis of Mexico's postrevolution period: the student-led protests in 1968 and the government-orchestrated massacre that put an end to the movement".--BOOKJACKET.
Medical Geology is a rapidly growing field concerned with the relationship between natural geological factors and human and animal health, as well as with improving our understanding of the influence of environmental factors on the geographical distribution of health problems. This book brings together the work of geoscientists and medical/public health researchers, which addresses health problems caused, or exacerbated by geological materials (rocks, minerals, atmospheric dust and water) and processes (including volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Among the environmental health problems discussed in this book are: exposure to toxic levels of trace essential and non-essential elements such a...

Walking west on 46th Street in Manhattan, just three blocks from Rockefeller Center, one passes Brazilian restaurants, the office of New York's Brazilian newspaper, a Brazilian travel agency, a business that sends remittances and wires flowers to Brazil, and a store that sells Brazilian food products, magazines, newspapers, videos, and tapes. These businesses are the tip of an ethnic iceberg, an unseen minority estimated to number some 80,000 to 100,000 Brazilians in the New York metropolitan area alone. Despite their numbers, the lives of these people remain largely hidden to scholars and the public alike. Now Maxine L. Margolis remedies this neglect with a fascinating and accessible accoun...

Groundwater resources naturally contain high levels of arsenic in many parts of the world. Over the last two decades, the As-containing groundwater in South-East Asia has received much attention, but the situation is just as crucial in Latin America, where the number of studies is still relatively low, and the extent and severity of As-exposure in the populations has yet to be fully evaluated. This book aims to promote knowledge of the occurrence and genesis of As-rich groundwater in Latin America. It deals with constraints on the mobility of As in groundwater, As-uptake from soil and water by plants, As-propagation through the food chain, human health impacts, and As-removal technologies. C...
