Eric's Story. Surviving a Son's Suicide
Eric's Story - Surviving A Son's Suicide is a mother's account of the sudden, unexpected death of her only child. Eric Michael Underwood was a highly successful 27 year-old engineer and actor living in Los Angeles when, in 1995, he took his own life. The book tells the story of his bouts with the depression his parents never knew about, his success as an engineer as well as his budding career as an actor (he was in the movie Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks). It details his mother's struggle to go on living and survive her devastating loss.
Orbs Around the World
In recent years people have shown a growing interest in the orb phenomenon: those fascinating, usually circular "spots" that often show up in our photographs. Orbs Around the World. An Anthology by Sandra Underwood, editor, is the first book to take readers around the world to six of our seven continents to hear firsthand the stories and see the photos from twenty-eight people in fifteen different countries. Their stories, spiritual journeys and pictures will amaze you, and readers will discover in a new way that orbs truly are living, conscious Light Beings from another dimension that we are now able to see thanks to advances of digital technology. Underwood has contributed two other books to the literature on orbs; this may be her most convincing one yet.
Orbs
People all over the world are fascinated by orbs – the opaque circular features that appear unexpectedly in photographs – but now that so much serious research and study has been done on the topic, the big question is this: what does their appearance mean? This book shows that these fascinating circles of light are not just interesting phenomena, but that they are here for a specific purpose – to bring us messages of hope. Written by orb expert and physicist Klaus Heinemann, together with his wife Gundi Heinemann, a healing arts practitioner, this book is a grounded and visionary presentation of facts and experiences in orb photography. Inside you will find convincing new results to convert the sceptic, and numerous reports of meaningful orb experiences from people all over the world. This book delves deep into the magical and exciting world of orbs, how and when they appear to us, and beyond – exploring what these emanations from spirit are trying to communicate.

Fulfilling the Potential of Cancer Prevention and Early Detection
Cancer ranks second only to heart disease as a leading cause of death in the United States, making it a tremendous burden in years of life lost, patient suffering, and economic costs. Fulfilling the Potential for Cancer Prevention and Early Detection reviews the proof that we can dramatically reduce cancer rates. The National Cancer Policy Board, part of the Institute of Medicine, outlines a national strategy to realize the promise of cancer prevention and early detection, including specific and wide-ranging recommendations. Offering a wealth of information and directly addressing major controversies, the book includes: A detailed look at how significantly cancer could be reduced through lif...
A Right to Read
A Right to Read is the first book to examine public library segregation from its origins in the late 19th century through its end during the tumultuous years of the 1960s civil rights movement. Graham focuses on Alabama, where African Americans, denied access to white libraries, worked to establish and maintain their own "Negro branches." These libraries - separate but never equal - were always underfunded and inadequately prepared to meet the needs of their constituencies."--BOOK JACKET.

Enhancing Data Systems to Improve the Quality of Cancer Care
One of the barriers to improving the quality of cancer care in the United States is the inadequacy of data systems. Out-of-date or incomplete information about the performance of doctors, hospitals, health plans, and public agencies makes it hard to gauge the quality of care. Augmenting today's data systems could start to fill the gap. This report examines the strengths and weaknesses of current systems and makes recommendations for enhancing data systems to improve the quality of cancer care. The board's recommendations fall into three key areas: Enhance key elements of the data system infrastructure (i.e., quality-of-care measures, cancer registries and databases, data collection technologies, and analytic capacity). Expand support for analyses of quality of cancer care using existing data systems. Monitor the effectiveness of data systems to promote quality improvement within health systems.
Childhood Cancer Survivorship
Only more recently has it been realized that the intense effort to care for and cure a child with cancer does not end with survival. Continued surveillance and a variety of interventions may, in many cases, be needed to identify and care for consequences of treatment that can appear early or only after several decades and impair survivors' health and quality of life. The more than two-thirds of childhood cancer survivors who experience late effects-that is, complications, disabilities, or adverse outcomes-as a result of their disease, its treatment, or both, are the focus of this report which outlines a comprehensive policy agenda that links improved health care delivery and follow-up, investments in education and training for health care providers, and expanded research to improve the long-term outlook for this growing population now exceeding 270,000 Americans.
Beyond Slash, Burn, and Poison
Drawing on the writings of Rachel Carson, Betty Ford, Rose Kushner, and Audre Lorde, this book explores the various ways in which patient-centered texts continue to leave their mark on the political realm of breast cancer and, ultimately, the disease itself. Ordered chronologically, the selections trace the progression of discussions about breast cancer from a time when the subject was kept private and silent to when it became part of public discourse. The texts included are personal accounts, written by women struggling to play an active role in their healing process and, at the same time, hoping to help others do the same.
