Eight Questions You Should Ask About Our Health Care System
Author: Charles E. Phelps
Publisher: Hoover Press
ISBN: 0817910565
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Charles E. Phelps provides a comprehensive look at our health care system, including how the current system evolved, how the health care sector behaves, and a detailed analysis of "the good, the bad, and the ugly" parts of the system—from technological advances (the "good") to variations in treatment patterns (the "bad") to hidden costs and perverse incentives (the "ugly"). He shows that much of the cost of health care ultimately derives from our own lifestyle choices and thus that education may well be the most powerful form of health reform we can envision.

Eight Flavors
Author: Sarah Lohman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476753954
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
This unique culinary history of America offers a fascinating look at our past and uses long-forgotten recipes to explain how eight flavors changed how we eat. The United States boasts a culturally and ethnically diverse population which makes for a continually changing culinary landscape. But a young historical gastronomist named Sarah Lohman discovered that American food is united by eight flavors: black pepper, vanilla, curry powder, chili powder, soy sauce, garlic, MSG, and Sriracha. In Eight Flavors, Lohman sets out to explore how these influential ingredients made their way to the American table. She begins in the archives, searching through economic, scientific, political, religious, and culinary records. She pores over cookbooks and manuscripts, dating back to the eighteenth century, through modern standards like How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman. Lohman discovers when each of these eight flavors first appear in American kitchens—then she asks why. Eight Flavors introduces the explorers, merchants, botanists, farmers, writers, and chefs whose choices came to define the American palate. Lohman takes you on a journey through the past to tell us something about our present, and our future. We meet John Crowninshield a New England merchant who traveled to Sumatra in the 1790s in search of black pepper. And Edmond Albius, a twelve-year-old slave who lived on an island off the coast of Madagascar, who discovered the technique still used to pollinate vanilla orchids today. Weaving together original research, historical recipes, gorgeous illustrations and Lohman’s own adventures both in the kitchen and in the field, Eight Flavors is a delicious treat—ready to be devoured.

Book Description
Whether you’re newly together and eager to make it work or a longtime couple looking to strengthen and deepen your bond, Eight Dates offers a program of how, why, and when to have eight basic conversations with your partner that can result in a lifetime of love. “Happily ever after” is not by chance, it’s by choice– the choice each person in a relationship makes to remain open, remain curious, and, most of all, to keep talking to one another. From award-winning marriage researcher and bestselling author Dr. John Gottman and fellow researcher Julie Gottman, Eight Dates offers an ingenious and simple-to-implement approach to effective relationship communication. Here are the subjects that every serious couple should discuss: Trust. Family. Sex and intimacy. Dealing with conflict. Work and money. Dreams, and more. And here is how to talk about them—how to broach subjects that are difficult or embarrassing, how to be brave enough to say what you really feel. There are also suggestions for where and when to go on each date—book your favorite romantic restaurant for the Sex & Intimacy conversation (and maybe go to a yoga or dance class beforehand). There are questionnaires, innovative exercises, real-life case studies, and skills to master, including the Four Skills of Intimate Conversation and the Art of Listening. Because making love last is not about having a certain feeling—it’s about both of you being active and involved.

God
Author: C. Stephen Layman
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268202044
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
This book explores a wide range of philosophical issues in their connection with theism, including views of free will, ethical theories, theories of mind, naturalism, and karma-plus-reincarnation. In this clear and logical guide, C. Stephen Layman takes up eight important philosophical questions about God: Does God exist? Why does God permit evil? Why think God is good? Why is God hidden? What is God’s relationship to ethics? Is divine foreknowledge compatible with human free will? Do humans have souls? Does reincarnation provide the best explanation of suffering? Based on more than thirty years of experience in teaching undergraduates and in leading philosophical discussions related to God, Layman has arranged the text to deal with each of these eight questions in one or two chapters apiece. Many philosophical works take up questions about God, but the chapters of this book plunge the reader very quickly into the arguments relevant to each question. Layman presents the arguments cogently and simply, yet without oversimplifying the issues. The book emphasizes strengths and weaknesses of both theism and its metaphysical rivals. Readers will gain a clearer understanding of theism and naturalism, and of their sometimes surprising implications. The book can be used as a text in philosophy of religion and introductory philosophy courses. Professional philosophers will find significant, novel arguments in many of the chapters.

8 Questions Every Parent Should Ask: Parenting in the Present with the Future in Mind
Author: Dr. John C. Panepinto
Publisher: BookLocker.com, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 43
Book Description
Every child is unique. So is every family. And parenting is a most demanding and important life role. So how does a parent find their way while walking a path that will certainly change the moment you feel you're starting to figure "it" out? Stock answers and internet searches can lead you astray for what works for one family may not work for you. And to parent fairly is to parent each child differently. But in the years when children are dependent and need you most, there are important fundamentals and principles of development parents can rely on. 8 Questions Every Parent Should Ask offers a unique format to empower parents to clarify the importance of their role through the lens of crucial developmental principles. Why questions? Because rules, statements, and advice are limited in scope. They are often one size fits all. But questions enlist your creativity and reach the depths of what matters most. Questions lead you to the answers that work for you and are specific to you and your family right now. Because they apply to you and your situation, you can ask these same questions every step of the way through the years. Importantly, these 8 Questions will lead you to the answers that matter most to you. Each chapter of 8 Questions Every Parent Should Ask provides key fundamentals of parenting and development. Each question guides you below the surface of quick fixes to a sturdy foundation to build upon. You may notice that these questions will feel like something you have had in the back of your mind. Something you’ve wondered about when you consider the responsibility of effectively raising children. Answering these questions will feel like the conversation you wanted to have but possibly didn’t know how. As you dig into these questions, you quickly go to the heart of an important matter in parenting. Trust the process and over time you will find yourself better able to find what works for you and your child in this stage... and the next. Not only will you discover the "how" in your parenting, but you will uncover the deepest "why" in your heart. When you know "how" and "why" then "what to do" flows from warm responsiveness and strong support. With the answers before you, the reasons why parenting matters become clearer. From inside-out, you find how parenting influences beyond parent and child, beyond family. You discover the connection between the answers you create and how they influence each generation. And the future.

Solutions to Thirty-Eight Questions
Author: Hildegard of Bingen
Publisher: Liturgical Press

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Perhaps the least studied of Hildegard of Bingen’s writings, Solutions to Thirty-Eight Questions is translated in this volume into English for the first time from the original Latin. In this work of exegesis, Hildegard (1098–1179) resolves thorny passages of Scripture, theological questions, and two issues in hagiographic texts. Solutions to Thirty-Eight Questions joins Hildegard’s Homilies on the Gospels, which were directed to her nuns, as evidence of the seer’s exegetical writing as well as her authority as an exegete. The twelfth-century saint wrote in standard genres of exegesis—homilies and solutiones—and her interpretations of Scripture were widely sought, including by male audiences.
