Book Description
Even though the osteopathic profession is over 100 years old, very little literature has been available to assist the public in better understanding osteopathic medicine. Perhaps this is the primary reason many persons cling to "old wives tales" in their concept of this uniquely American medical profession.It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to relate in a few brief pages the history, nature, philosophy, methods, and processes of development of any profession and do it justice. Therefore, perhaps this effort to introduce once again osteopathic medicine to the public will encourage others to articulate their insights into osteopathic medicine and complement the work of ones who have tried.This book is written by a layman for the lay reader. Much of the information has been gleaned from the few written sources available and from personal taped interviews with more than thirty persons in the osteopathic profession and ones related to it by employment and dedication. Some of the information has not previously been widely disseminated to the public. Nonetheless, it is a documented part of the osteopathic story.The remainder of the information in the book reflects the author's observations and opinions based on years of experience with, appreciation for, and commitment to the osteopathic profession.The author hopes The Difference a D.O. Makes will make a positive difference in the public's understanding of osteopathic medicine.Bob E. JonesOklahoma City, OklahomaAll proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Oklahoma Educational Foundation for Osteopathic Medicine, whose primary function is to assist osteopathic medical students with low-interest loans.All inquiries regarding the purchase of this book should be directed to the Oklahoma Educational Foundation for Osteopathic Medicine (OEFOM), 4848 North Lincoln Boulevard, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73105-3335.

The Ring Makes All the Difference
Author: Glenn T. Stanton
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802478077
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Why not cohabitate? Many believe nothing is better for their future marriage than a trial period—cohabitation. It’s the fastest growing family type in the U.S. So how’s that working out? Are people truly happier? Author Glenn Stanton offers a compelling factual case that nearly every area of health and happiness is increased by marriage and decreased by cohabitation. With credible data and compassion, Stanton explores the reasons why the cohabitation trend is growing; outlines its negative outcomes for men, women, and children; and makes a case for why marriage is still the best arrangement for the flourishing of couples and society. This resource is ideal for those who are cohabitating or considering it, as well as pastors and counselors who need to be able to engage this issue.

The Difference Aesthetics Makes
Author: Kandice Chuh
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478002387
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
In The Difference Aesthetics Makes cultural critic Kandice Chuh asks what the humanities might be and do if organized around what she calls “illiberal humanism” instead of around the Western European tradition of liberal humanism that undergirds the humanities in their received form. Recognizing that the liberal humanities contribute to the reproduction of the subjugation that accompanies liberalism's definition of the human, Chuh argues that instead of defending the humanities, as has been widely called for in recent years, we should radically remake them. Chuh proposes that the work of artists and writers like Lan Samantha Chang, Carrie Mae Weems, Langston Hughes, Leslie Marmon Silko, Allan deSouza, Monique Truong, and others brings to bear ways of being and knowing that delegitimize liberal humanism in favor of more robust, capacious, and worldly senses of the human and the humanities. Chuh presents the aesthetics of illiberal humanism as vital to the creation of sensibilities and worlds capable of making life and lives flourish.
