Question: Does the world really need another breast cancer memoir?
Answer: Probably not.
But writing is the only way Carolyn Redman knew how to process a heartbreaking breast cancer diagnosis and the year-long treatments that ensued. These honest, heartfelt, and sometimes humorous e-mails and essays, written solely to keep family and friends informed of her medical condition morphed into the definitive exercise in self-compassion and healing. In the end, no one was more surprised or more grateful than she was to find purpose and meaning masquerading as cancer.
When Sonia and Gordon Jones left New York City for a quiet life on a farm in Nova Scotia, they never dreamed they'd end up creating a multi-million dollar yogurt industry. But when Daisy gave too much milk for the family, Sonia started making yogurt for a local health food store. The product was so popular that it got shelf space in all the supermarket chains in the Maritime provinces. Sonia Jones wrote a book called "It All Began With Daisy" which was published by E.P. Dutton, adopted by the Literary Guild of America, condensed by the Reader's Digest and translated into many languages. But competition from a successful small business is not always welcomed by big business interests, so Goliath rose up to challenge Daisy. At this point the action diverges from the Old Testament narrative, where David uses his own ingenuity to overcome Goliath. In this true story the federal government requires that the slingshot be disallowed in favor of regulation swords for all parties to the conflict. The poignancy of the betrayal of Citizen Daisy by her own government is palpable. Yet this is not just an attack on the co-conspiracy of big government and big business. The story of Daisy and Goliath, like all good parables, crystallizes the issues and provides us with hope for a better future.

Now with an introduction from Dolly Alderton, author of Everything I Know About Love, revealing how a new generation of women can take inspiration from Nora's sharp wit and wisdom about life.
* Never marry a man you wouldn't want to be divorced from.
* If the shoe doesn't fit in the shoe store, it's never going to fit.
* When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.
* If only one third of your clothes are mistakes, you're ahead of the game.
* Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for by the age of forty-five. __________________________________________________________________

For decades, the diet wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, high-fat paleo diet against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and dozens of other diets leaving most of us bewildered and confused.
For those of us on the sidelines, trying to figure out which approach is best has been nearly impossible - both extreme diets have unique benefits and drawbacks. But how can it be, we've asked desperately, that our only options are bacon and butter three times a day or endless kale salads? How do we eat to reverse disease, optimal health, longevity and performance. How do we eat to reverse climate change? There must be a better way!
Fortunately, there is. With The Pegan Diet, a food is medicine approach, Mark Hyman explains how to take the best aspects of the paleo diet (good fats, limited refined carbs, limited sugar) and combine them with the vegan diet (lots and lots of fresh, healthy veggies) to create a delicious diet that is not only good for your brain and your body, but also good for the planet.
Featuring 30 recipes, and plenty of infographics illustrating the concepts, The Pegan Diet offers a balanced and easy-to-follow approach to eating that will help you get, and stay, fit, healthy, focused, and happy - for life.
'Now, more than ever, we need to utilize the power of food to help our society overcome the epidemic of chronic disease. The Pegan Diet offers an easy-to-implement solution for anyone to get started on their health journey using 21 basic principles that show how we can use food as medicine.' Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global
Maggy Van Eijk knows where the best place to cry in public is: the top deck of a bus, right at the front. She also knows that eating super salty liquorice or swimming in an icy cold pond are things that make you feel alive but aren't bad for you.
Turning 27, Maggy had the worst mental health experience of her life so far. She ended a three-year relationship, was almost fired (twice), went to A&E over twelve times, saw three different therapists and had three different diagnoses.
But she didn't let that year stop her. Taking pen to paper, Maggy started writing lists. Lists to remind her when she's anxious or when the world won't stop spinning, that everything will be okay, whether it's starfishing her heart out in bed first thing in the morning, or just simply phoning a friend.
In her brave and important book, with a brand new chapter, Maggy lays bare the true reality of mental illness in the hope it can help others come out the other side too.

I understand the magnitude of damage left behind in the aftermath of trauma. Not only through my years of coaching trauma survivors, but because I too am a survivor of unimaginable trauma. A few years ago, I watched my 3 year old son die in an auto accident just days after losing my Dad to cancer.Shortly after losing my son I found myself homeless and beyond broke. I desperately needed help from somebody who not only understood trauma, but had survived and HEALED after experiencing trauma. I needed help and I didn't know where else to turn. So, I began weekly therapy sessions. After thousands of dollars and many years of meeting with different counselors, I was diagnosed with PTSD. The diagnosis was great, at least now I had a name for the beast in my head, but I was still not feeling the peace I was desperately seeking. So, I began my quest to heal from PTSD on my own so I could get control over my mind and emotions and create a new life for myself- my life after trauma.I know from personal experience that trauma can destroy everything you value. It can leave you broke mentally, financially and spiritually. It destroys friendships and relationships. The very things you once placed so much value on, no longer matter.After years of studying trauma and PTSD I began to coach other trauma survivors and I dicovered that we all seem to have a common theme in the way our brains and bodies react when they try to process the trauma and damage that has taken place.I made a promise to myself that when I had healed from trauma that I would help others heal from their traumas so I created a simple step by step guide in the pages of this short book called The Trauma Survivor's Guide To Healing.

Public health students at all levels need to understand the biological basis for public health. New understandings of genetics, immunology, and brain function require basic knowledge of biology. New preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic technologies cannot be successfully applied without a comprehension of the underlying biology. Essentials of Public Health Biology starts by introducing students to basic concepts of cellular biology, immunology, and physiology which are key to appreciating the connections between biology and public health. The authors build on these concepts to discuss the biological aspects of important public health problems from communicable diseases and non-communicable diseases to aging, nutrition, environmental exposures, and injuries. Key Features: * Organized into three sections including fundamental concepts, applications, and connecting the science and public health * Examines fundamental biologic concepts of the disease process as they relate to important communicable and noncommunicable diseases observed globally in public health * Emphasizes the population perspective as the key to understanding the biology of epidemic disease and immunizations as well as issues of environmental risk * Filled with graphics, case studies, and in-depth examples to engage the reader in learning Essentials of Public Health Biology is part of the Essential Public Health series. The text provides the basis for course work which addresses the Council on Education for Public Health expectations for accreditation and also serves as preparation for the certifying examination in public health.

The Western Mystery Tradition is based on a bedrock of pagan magic, yet too many important developments are over-influenced by post-pagan Judeo-Christian-Islamic dogma. One of these is the concentrated "storming of the gates of heaven" technique known as the Abramelin system, in which the magician attempts to contact a spirit called the Holy Guardian Angel after an intense six- or 18-month programme.
In Helios Unbound, Nick Farrell liberates the Western Mystery Tradition from its Christian past by adapting modern ceremonial magical techniques with pagan practices to provide a working system to contact a person's divine self. The Ancients called this divine self their Higher Genus, and Farrell sees this sprit as the key to understanding your spiritual and material destiny and working practical magic.
The book takes you through the practical information you need covering a wide range of magical subjects including Ceremonial Magic, Hellenistic Astrology, Astral Work, Meditation, Theurgy and Philosophy based on Ancient and Modern sources.
Magicians who do not see the need to follow the mainstream religions but wish to return to more ancient symbols will find many of the answers they are seeking in this book.
