A century of family tales from two beloved but divided homelands, Iran and America Drawing on her remarkable personal history, NPR producer Davar Ardalan brings us the lives of three generations of women and their ordeals with love, rejection, and revolution. Her American grandmother's love affair with an Iranian physician took her from New York to Iran in 1931. Ardalan herself moved from San Francsico to rural Iran in 1964 with her Iranian American parents who barely spoke Farsi. After her parents' divorce, Ardalan joined her father in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he had gone to make a new life; however improbably, after high school, Ardalan decided to move back to an Islamic Iran. When she arrived, she discovered a world she hardly recognized, and one which demands a near-complete renunciation of the freedoms she experienced in the West. In time, she and her young family make the opposite migration and discover the difficulties, however paradoxical, inherent in living a free life in America.

However, therapies are still lacking and there is a great need to find novel strategies to improve injury and functional outcome.

Jeder von ihnen fand auf seine Art den Weg zu einer neuen, zeitgemäßen Weltanschauung, zum Baháí-Glauben. Dieser Glauben faszinierte sie, weil er Frieden unter Menschen, Völkern, Nationen und Religionen lehrt, ihn als den Geist einer neuen Zeit ankündigt und Liebe, Gerechtigkeit und die Besserung der Welt zu realisieren versucht. Eine ganzheitliche und weltumfassende...
