Long Lens: New and Selected Poems (American Poets Continuum)
by Peter Makuck"Peter Makuck sees through the detritus of daily life to what matters. . . . It’s that essence that lives deep down in things, looked for in people, sea- and landscapes, and creatures, that lifts the quotidian toward the marvelous, and animates this selection of poems from four decades."—Brendan GalvinFrom "Long Lens":Folding laundry, I can see our clotheslinewaving its patches of color like the flagof a foreign country where I had happily livedin a small clapboard house surrounded by pines.I can hear my mother in her strong accentsaying she didn’t want a dryereven when we could finally afford one—Our sheets won’t smell of trees and sunlight anymore.Long Lens represents forty years of Peter Makuck’s work, including twenty-five new poems. With precise language, Makuck’s imagery evokes spiritual longing, love, loss, violence, and transcendence. His subjects include the aftermath of the 1970 killings at Kent State University; scuba diving on an offshore shipwreck; flying through a storm in a small plane; rescuing a boy caught in a riptide; and lucid observations of spinner sharks, a gray fox, a spider, and a pelican tangled in a fishing line.Peter Makuck taught at East Carolina University from 1976 to 2006, where he founded Tar River Poetry. He was 2008 Lee Smith Chair in Creative Writing at North Carolina State University. Winner of the Brockman Award and the Charity Randall Citation, he lives on Bogue Banks, one of North Carolina’s barrier islands.

Long Lever Techniques: An Illustrated Guide for Practitioners to Treat Neuro-Musculoskeletal Pain
by Bobby Nourani Richard HuffA full-color introductory guide to a revolutionary new osteopathic treatment: a direct manual medicine approach for reestablishing cranial rhythmic impulse, improving primary respiration mechanism, and restoring potency at the site of dysfunction.In the first book to discuss the long lever technique, Bobby Nourani, DO, introduces a manual medicine treatment for treating somatic dysfunction, reducing pain, and manipulating the body for effective and efficient healing. Written for professionals--osteopaths, physicians, bodyworkers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, craniosacral therapists, and other practitioners who want to integrate osteopathic techniques into an existing practice--Long Lever Techniques focuses on how we can mobilize interconnected structures to positively restore the body to better health and function. The long lever approach--using the arm or leg as lever and fulcrum to mobilize an area of somatic dysfunction--is a manual application of corrective force that can be applied once or multiple times. It has wide-ranging applications, from pain reduction to autonomic rebalancing to improved respiration rate, and is presented with full-color photos and illustrations so that medical professionals can put it into practice quickly. Readers will learn about: • The history and development of long lever techniques • Its clinical applications to cervical, thoracic, rib, lumbar, sacral, and pelvic dysfunction • Coccyx and craniococcygeal anatomy, evaluation, indications, and informed consent and documentation • How to integrate long lever techniques in practice
Long Life in Florida
by Prof. Hilton HotemaHARD TO BELIEVE THAT MAN1. EATS TO DIE.2. DRINKS TO DIE3. BREATHES TO DIE.Is The Vegetarian Diet Harmful As Well As The Flesh Diet???For more than half a century, the author of the course titled LONG LIFE IN FLORIDA, Hilton Hotema, read books on food and feeding, and closely followed the arguments and explanations. He found those who favored VEGETARIANISM omitted all the bad features, and the same course was pursued by those who favored CARNIVORISM.Books favoring VEGETARIANISM say nothing of the damaging qualities of vegetables and cereals. Those favoring CARNIVORISM carefully omit the damaging properties of flesh.These authors lead their readers astray with HALF TRUTHS. A half-truth is more dangerous than a lie, as it is more misleading.“WE EAT TO LIVE, AND WE EAT TO DIE”This statement was issued, by a group of eminent doctors of the 19th century.If we eat to live, how can we eat to die? If we eat to die how can we eat to live? These puzzling questions are considered and answered in this book, first published in 1962.YOU will be given a proper understanding of the word HEALTH and shown HOW we were intended to live in GOOD HEALTH and full of VIM, VIGOR and VITALITY and not like most of the people of today...sick, nervous, irritable, etc.After reading over the manuscript of this course, one of our leading NATUROPATHS wrote: “It is the best I have ever found in the field of health and long life. It is a work whose equal has never been produced.”LEARN the simple laws of COSMIC EXISTENCE, known to the birds and beasts and explained so clearly in these lessons they may be understood by a child, yet as certain in action as the laws of electricity.
The Long Life of Magical Objects: A Study in the Solomonic Tradition (Magic in History)
by Allegra IafrateThis book explores a series of powerful artifacts associated with King Solomon via legendary or extracanonical textual sources. Tracing their cultural resonance throughout history, art historian Allegra Iafrate delivers exciting insights into these objects and interrogates the ways in which magic manifests itself at a material level.Each chapter focuses on a different Solomonic object: a ring used to control demons; a mysterious set of bottles that constrain evil forces; an endless knot or seal with similar properties; the shamir, known for its supernatural ability to cut through stone; and a flying carpet that can bring the sitter anywhere he desires. Taken together, these chapters constitute a study on the reception of the figure of Solomon, but they are also cultural biographies of these magical objects and their inherent aesthetic, morphological, and technical qualities.Thought-provoking and engaging, Iafrate’s study shows how ancient magic artifacts live on in our imagination, in items such as Sauron’s ring of power, Aladdin’s lamp, and the magic carpet. It will appeal to historians of art, religion, folklore, and literature.

Long Life Strategy: A Guide for Living a Longer, Healthier, and More Fulfilling life
by Ronald M. CaplanThe second edition of Long Life Strategy builds upon the practical tips and knowledge in the first edition by providing readers with an outline to living a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life and late life. The book elaborates on three major areas, which include what you can do to live a long life, what your doctor should be doing to help you achieve this goal, and what society, of which we are all part, should be doing to better accommodate a growing number of older people in the coming decades. Dr. Caplan begins by introducing what it means to live a longer life and explaining the current research on delaying, preventing, and reversing aging in our cells. The next chapters detail how to prevent diseases and conditions commonly associated with aging, including diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, mental health decline, sexual dysfunction, and heart disease. The author provides instruction for good diet and exercise choices. The concluding chapters provide useful advice for managing a fixed income, becoming a grandparent, dealing with the sickness and loss of a life partner, and how to maintain social relationships into late life. No matter where you are on life’s journey, Long Life Strategy can provide a roadmap to living a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
Long Lives Are for the Rich: Aging, the Life Course, and Social Justice (Aging and Society)
by Jan BaarsLong Lives Are for the Rich is the title of a silent ominous program that affects the lives of millions of people. In all developed countries disadvantaged and, especially, poor people die much earlier than the most advantaged. During these shorter lives they suffer ten to twenty years longer from disabilities or chronic disease. This does not happen accidentally: health inequalities – including those between healthy and unhealthy life styles – are mainly caused by social inequalities that are reproduced over the life course. This crucial function of the life course has become painfully visible during its neoliberal reorganization since the early 1980s. Studies about aging over the life course, from birth to death, show the inhumane consequences as people get older. In spite of the enormous wealth that has been piled up in the US for a dwindling percentage of the population, there has been growing public indifference about the needs of those in jobs with low pay and high stress, but also about citizens from a broad middle class who can hardly afford high quality education or healthcare. However, this ominous program affects all: recent mortality rates show that all Americans, including the rich, are unhealthier and dying earlier than citizens of other developed countries. Moreover, the underlying social inequalities are tearing the population apart with nasty consequences for all citizens, including the rich. Although the public awareness of the consequences has been growing, neoliberal policies remain tempting for the economic and political elites of the developed world because of the enormous wealth that is flowing to the top. All this poses urgent questions of social justice. Unfortunately, the predominant studies of social justice along the life course help to reproduce these inequalities by neglecting them. This book analyzes the main dynamics of social inequality over the life course and proposes a theory of social justice that sketches a way forward for a country that is willing to invest in its greatest resource: the creative potential of its population.

Long-Term Conditions: Challenges in Health & Social Care
by Cathy E. Lloyd Tom HellerSome people have always had to find ways of living with long term conditions such as diabetes or coeliac disease, but as people live longer, increasing numbers of us now experience long-term poor health. While some conditions that previously limited the length of life are manageable a growing number of people live with long-term conditions. Against this backdrop, Long Term Conditions explores the complex issues surrounding the experience of long-term illness and the enormous pressure this puts on individuals, their families and carers and on health and social care services. The perspectives of each of these groups are voiced within this book, with chapters written by people who use health and social care services, carers, policy-makers and practitioners. Using a variety of research methods to get to the heart of the matter, the book probes assumptions about the experience of long-term poor health and what constitutes good care. Its aim is to challenge readers to think critically about existing policy and provision and to inspire change based on sound evidence and a drive towards greater multi-professional working. Long Term Conditions provides academics, practitioners and students with a thorough grounding in the complex issues surrounding the experience and management of long-term illness. It is an ideal text for courses on policy, management and practice in health and social care.
Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Basic Text (Second Edition)
by Glen O. GabbardAt the time Dr. Glen O. Gabbard's first edition of Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy came out in 2004, the Psychiatry Residency Review Committee (RRC) mandated that all psychiatric residents must become competent in five different psychotherapies, including psychodynamic psychotherapy. Just a few years later, the RRC reduced the number of mandated psychotherapies from five to three, with psychodynamic psychotherapy being one of the triad needed in training. Also during that time, much rigorous research appeared in the pages of major psychiatric and psychological journals further confirming the efficacy and value of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Basic Text, Second Edition, is focused on the key concepts, assessment, indications, formulations, therapist interventions, goals of therapy, and the mechanisms of therapeutic action all mental health professionals need in their daily clinical experience. In this manual, Dr. Gabbard expands on the application of basic theory and techniques in actual clinical practice. Therapeutic topics are brought to life on a companion DVD that gives students and residents a visual reference to the text through video vignettes of a senior clinician at work. As useful to educators as it is to students, Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy serves as a guide to understanding the thinking behind the therapist's actions in a wide variety of situations. This "fly on the wall" glimpse into therapeutic mechanisms helps future psychologists, social workers, licensed counselors, nurses and others put psychodynamic psychotherapy into the proper context for long-term, successful treatment. This manual delves into the goals of therapy and the mechanisms for therapeutic action, including: #149; Assessment#149; Indications and formulation#149; Therapist intervention#149; Using fantasies and dreams in therapeutic action#149; Identifying and working with countertransference#149; Optimal use of supervision In addition to the DVD that serves as a guide to understanding the thinking behind the therapist's choices, this book also features a greatly expanded discussion of the evidence base for psychodynamic psychotherapy and a more extensive discussion on gender in transference. It also updates the neurobiological correlation between dreaming and its implications in psychotherapy and elaborates on the contribution of resistance to contemporary thinking. Equally important, Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy provides its readers with a clear road map to greater understanding through practical, hands-on application such as case writeups, oral presentations at case conferences, written examinations, oral examinations, videotaped recordings and direct observations, audiotape recordings, and supervision to help build competent skills and broad knowledge.

Longevita' Decodificata: La Dieta Plant-Based che Ti puo' Salvare La Vita
by Bram AltonSiamo una societa' molto, molto malata. Se aveste qualche dubbio su quanto malati siamo, pensate a quanti medicinali sono disponibili senza prescrizione medica. Quante medicine prendono i vostri amici e la vostra famiglia? Quel numero dovrebbe essere un campanello d’allarme circa il precario stato di salute della societa' moderna. Se nutriste ancora dei dubbi, quante persone conoscete che sono affette da cancro, problemi di cuore, diabete di tipo 2, depressione, ansia, infertilita’, o altre malattie croniche? Una o due generazioni fa, questi problemi erano praticamente inesistenti. Ora, rientrano piu’ nella norma che nell’eccezione. I medicinali sono in grado di mascherare i sintomi delle malattie a cui facciamo fronte. Oltretutto, i medicinali hanno molti effetti collaterali che possono provocare ulteriori problemi di salute, il che porta al bisogno di assumerne altri. La causa di queste patologie e’ qualcosa che la medicina non puo’ sanare: la dieta scorretta. Sul punto, si da credito ad Aristotele per aver sostenuto che il cibo dovrebbe essere la vostra medicina.
