The first comprehensive treatment of North American rodents of conservation concern. This action plan summarizes the rodent fauna of North America and provides available information on every rodent taxon that has been considered to be of conservation concern by state, provincial and private conservation agencies and regional experts. It is hoped that the survey provided in this action plan will serve as a common ground for all these parties in drawing up conservation strategies for rodents.
Written by two-time Golden Glove Champion Tom Fallon, "Fighting Through It" is part memoir and part guide for overcoming adversity. The book opens up to Fallon as an 8 year old boy who is struggling to survive emotional abuse, physical abuse, as well as neglect at home. Developing a fear of abandonment, he explains how a bad relationship with his father left opportunity for a pedophile to enter his life. Left to deal with these life changing events on his own, he speaks of his deepened faith in God and his remarkable road to recovery. He reveals practical ways to deal with adversity, anxiety, and self doubt without the use of prescribed medicine, recreational drugs, or alcohol.
I have been teaching since 1972. Everything and anything that was inspirational. It was always a quest, a search for the higher road, the missing chord. I was blessed to be educated at great NYC schools; my spiritual mentors were some of the most influential teachers of the twentieth century. To this day, I try and leave each person I meet with an inspiration. After a lifetime of reading voraciously, I’m still looking for that ONE exceptional source that explains things, a cookbook of life. You know when you buy a new car, it comes with an owner’s manual. Need information about the new car? It’s in the book. Should be the same with humans. When you are born, you get a book, a BOOK THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! This would be the one book that I can hand a person and honestly say, “Read this, and you’ll get it.” So, this book was created to be an owner’s manual for humans. It is a spiritual text that will directly answer why you are here and get this...how to fulfill your life’s purpose and destiny. Yeah, big stuff. YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO WALK THE PATH but at least you will have a roadmap and compass.
Drawing on previously untapped archival materials including letters, interviews, and more, Bernard F. Dick traces the history of Columbia Pictures, from its beginnings as the CBC Film Sales Company, through the regimes of Harry Cohn and his successors, and ending with a vivid portrait of today's corporate Hollywood. The book offers unique perspectives on the careers of Rita Hayworth and Judy Holliday, a discussion of Columbia's unique brands of screwball comedy and film noir, and analyses of such classics as The Awful Truth, Born Yesterday, and From Here to Eternity. Following the author's highly readable studio chronicle are fourteen original essays by leading film scholars that follow Colu...
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
High-quality primary care is the foundation of the health care system. It provides continuous, person-centered, relationship-based care that considers the needs and preferences of individuals, families, and communities. Without access to high-quality primary care, minor health problems can spiral into chronic disease, chronic disease management becomes difficult and uncoordinated, visits to emergency departments increase, preventive care lags, and health care spending soars to unsustainable levels. Unequal access to primary care remains a concern, and the COVID-19 pandemic amplified pervasive economic, mental health, and social health disparities that ubiquitous, high-quality primary care mi...

There has been an enormous increase in interest in the use of evidence for public policymaking, but the vast majority of work on the subject has failed to engage with the political nature of decision making and how this influences the ways in which evidence will be used (or misused) within political areas. This book provides new insights into the nature of political bias with regards to evidence and critically considers what an ‘improved’ use of evidence would look like from a policymaking perspective. Part...
Developed in the late ’70s by French osteopath Paul Chauffour, Mechanical Link is a gentle manual therapy that encourages the balance of tensions in the fascial system—that complex web of tissue that interconnects and affects all other body systems. It spreads throughout the body uninterrupted, providing physical stability while also allowing flexibility and mobility. Based on the principle that traumatic stress affects the interconnecting tissues of the body by forming patterns of tension called lesions, Mechanical Link therapy has successfully treated fibromyalgia, migraines, asthma, and other conditions. Extremely popular in Europe, it is rapidly gaining adherents in North America. Th...
