Arrest-Proof Yourself
by Wes Denham Dale CarsonThis essential "how not to" guide explains how to act and what to say in the presence of police to avoid unnecessary arrests for petty offenses or mistakes in judgment that can lead to permanent disqualification from jobs, financing, and education. From what to do if a cop asks to search the car to dealing with a racial slur or how to handle a roach in the ashtray, this handbook details the nuances of dealing with the police. This revised and expanded edition of Arrest-Proof Yourself includes more than 100 pages of new information to reflect changes in police technique and "proactive policing." More than 50 pages are dedicated to weaponry--including how to legally own and handle guns and knives and which firearms to use for self-defense--and updates examine topics such as the current surveillance state and the ability of police to track movements and activities using data drawn from cell phones and computers. Sprinkled with not only moral outrage but also the weird humor that permeates law enforcement, this urgent, eye-opening exposé has stories from 30 years of case files, making it the go-to guide to police procedures for all Americans.

Arrêter la Fatigue Chronique : Comment retrouver votre vie
by Lisa GibsonLe Syndrome de Fatigue Chronique (SFC) est l'une des conditions "mystères" les plus fréquemment diagnostiquées. Plus d'un million d'Américains souffrent du Syndrome de Fatigue Chronique et ces chiffres sont en augmentation. Cette maladie frappe plus de personnes que la sclérose en plaques, le Lupus et de nombreuses formes de cancer. Le SFC survient quatre fois plus fréquemment chez la femmes que chez l'homme. Pourquoi le SFC est-il en hausse? S'agit-il d'une sorte d'épidémie ou le SFC est-il devenu le diagnostic fourre-tout des problèmes de santé dès que vous ressentez de la fatigue et de la douleur et qu'ils ne peuvent pas comprendre ce qui ne va pas. Un syndrome est par définition un groupe de symptômes qui se produisent constamment ensemble. Donc, en vérité, la fatigue chronique n'est pas vraiment une maladie, juste un tas de symptômes. Ces symptômes peuvent être très sérieux, potentiellement mortels et débilitants. La question demeure donc, qu'est-ce qui cause tous ces symtpômes? Est-ce le régime alimentaire, les maladies, les facteurs environnementaux, ou tout ce qui précède. Malheureusement, le domaine de santé a plus de questions que de réponses. Ces questions sans réponses peuvent laisser les personnes atteintes de SFC désespérées et résolues au fait qu'elles devront peut-être vivre avec ces symptômes débilitants le reste de leur vie. Vous n'avez pas à laisser ces symtpômes contrôler votre vie. Il existe des traitements traditionnels et non traditionnels qui vous aident à déterminer les causes profondes de vos symptômes du SFC et à gérer ces symptômes. Quelle est la solution? La meilleure façon de vaincre le SFC est de déterminer ce qui cause réellement vos symptômes. Donc, dans ce livre, je vais vous montrer. - Les virus et infections qui peuvent provoquer des symptômes du SFC - Quels tests demander à votre médecin - Des changements de style de vie que vous pouvez mettre en oeuvre pour

¡Arriba los corazones!: La muerte como reafirmación de la vida
by Fernando Del Solar¡Me voy a morir!, fue la respuesta en silencio... un angustiante, furioso y temerario silencio de Fernando del Solar cuando, el 12 de julio de 2012, supo que padecía cáncer. Recibió la noticia tres horas después de ser presentado en cadena nacional como el conductor del reality show más popular de México: La Academia. Este libro es su historia. Fernando tenía un trabajo estable y ascendente que lo había llevado a ser una figura estelar. Era también la pareja sentimental de una famosa y atractiva conductora, con quien recién se había casado y que le había dado los mejores regalos de su vida: sus dos pequeños hijos, Luciano y Paolo. De golpe, todo comenzó a transformarse. Lloró, se enojó, culpó a diestra y siniestra, puso mucha resistencia, se alejó y se abandonó en una tristeza profunda. A finales de diciembre de 2015, Fernando experimentó su mayor temor: la muerte. Tras una cirugía para controlar su terceray peor crisis médica fue inducido al coma. Sugirieron a su madre desconectarlo; sin embargo, se negó. Minutos antes ella había recibido al guía de su grupo de Cábala que le indicó: «A partir de este momento no crea en todo lo que ve, ni crea en todo lo que escuche. Crea en Dios, Él tiene la última palabra». Entre cinco y siete días fue el plazo que pidió Rosa al hospital para mantener con vida artificial a su hijo. El 31 de diciembre Fernando despertó. ¡Arriba los corazones! es el relato que, a cinco años de su diagnóstico, el famoso conductor ha decidido compartir de la manera más sencilla, honesta y apegada a sus sentimientos, revelando cómo enfrentó la pérdida de la salud, de su pareja, de su trabajo, de la fe, y de cómo esta adversidad lo llevó a aceptar estas amargas pruebas y traducirlas en bendiciones disfrazadas.

Arriving at Your Own Door: 108 Lessons in Mindfulness
by Jon Kabat-ZinnMindfulness opens us up to the possibility of being fully human as we are, and of expressing the humane in our way of being. Mindlessness de facto closes us up and denies us the fullness of our being alive. This book may on the surface appear to be merely another offering in the genre of daily readings. But deep within these 108 selections lie messages of profound wisdom in a contemporary and practical form that can lead to both healing and transformation. We so urgently need to rotate in consciousness in order to safeguard what precious sanity is available to us on this planet. How we carry ourselves will determine the direction the world takes because, in a very real way, we are the world we inhabit. Our world is continuously being shaped by our participation in everything around us and within us through mindfulness. This is the great work of awareness. Welcome to the threshold . . . to the fullness of arriving at your own door!

An Arrow Through the Heart
by Deborah Daw HeffernanIn the words of Mehmet Oz, MD: "An Arrow Through the Heart is an epiphany for women who mistakenly believe that they are immune from the ravages of heart disease. Using her heart as a magnifying glass, Deborah Daw Heffernan provides readers with a window into their souls." This groundbreaking memoir was first mentioned on Oprah Winfrey's life-saving 2002 show announcing cardiovascular disease as a leading cause of death among young women. That tragic fact is still true. With both depth and humor, Deborah Daw Heffernan recounts her first year of recovery from the massive heart attack that ambushed her in a gentle yoga class--during the prime of her life and despite her impeccable health history. Ranging from high-stakes action in the OR at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston to quietly unfolding seasons on a lake in Maine, An Arrow Through the Heart is a moving and informative story of what it takes to find one's own path to true healing. Ultimately, Heffernan combines allopathic and complementary medicine to create a sensible recovery strategy for our times. She touchingly describes her husband's devotion and the toll that her cardiovascular disease takes on him, as well as how he, too, grew from the experience. Weaving their story with the lives of family and friends, Heffernan demonstrates how illness can be transformative for all involved. Not only an empowering companion for cardiac patients, this medical classic is a guide to recovery from catastrophic change of any kind. Above all, it is a powerful testament to the unexpected joy that can come from leading a life of acknowledged impermanence. Updates include cardiovascular data for today's reader, links to the author's website and other resources, a new section on SCAD (spontaneous coronary artery dissection), and-- spoiler alert--a heart transplant in 2006. All author's proceeds are donated to cardiac causes. Deborah Daw Heffernan is a graduate of Georgetown and Harvard Universities. She has worked as a teacher in Switzerland, an associate dean at Boston University, and a freelance writer. For fourteen years she was vice president of a leading Boston-based corporate training/consulting firm--until a near-fatal heart attack changed her life forever. She lives with her husband, Jack, on a small lake in Maine.
An Arrow Through The Heart
by Deborah Dew HeffernanWhat if, like most women, you were overwhelmed by the struggle to balance work and family? So you did everything to be healthy and stress-free -- ate right, kept fit, never smoked, practiced yoga. And what if, out of the blue, your body betrayed you? Like most American women, Deborah Daw Heffernan worried about breast cancer, not heart disease, the nation's number-one killer of women. Yet on May 12, 1997, Deborah, a slim and health-conscious executive in her mid-forties, was stricken by a near-fatal heart attack in her weekly yoga class. There was no warning and no family history of heart disease. There was only the sudden explosion inside her chest. After emergency surgery and a harrowing string of complications, Deborah faced a long and uncertain recovery, overshadowed by the looming prospect of a heart transplant. An Arrow Through the Heart is her unflinching, soulful, and surprisingly funny chronicle of that first year -- which might easily have been her last. Anchored by the rugged landscape of Maine, by the fierce love of her husband, and by their two estranged families, who dropped everything to rally around her, she learned to do simple things all over again, one breath at a time. Ultimately, it was a year of healing both body and soul, of "finding meaning everywhere, like Easter eggs." This book is about how illness, oddly enough, can give life back to us. For the tens of thousands with cardiac disease, it will be a welcome companion on the road to recovery. For the rest of us, Deborah offers a powerful testament to the unexpected joy that can come from living in a state of impermanence.

Art and Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking
by David Bayles Ted Orland"This is a book about making art. Ordinary art. Ordinary art means something like: all art not made by Mozart. After all, art is rarely made by Mozart-like people; essentially--statistically speaking--there aren't any people like that. Geniuses get made once-a-century or so, yet good art gets made all the time, so to equate the making of art with the workings of genius removes this intimately human activity to a strangely unreachable and unknowable place. For all practical purposes making art can be examined in great detail without ever getting entangled in the very remote problems of genius. " ---from the Introduction Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. The book's co-authors, David Bayles and Ted Orland, are themselves both working artists, grappling daily with the problems of making art in the real world. Their insights and observations, drawn from personal experience, provide an incisive view into the world of art as it is experienced by artmakers themselves. This is not your typical self-help book. This is a book written by artists, for artists --- it's about what it feels like when artists sit down at their easel or keyboard, in their studio or performance space, trying to do the work they need to do. First published in 1994, Art & Fear quickly became an underground classic. Word-of-mouth response alone--now enhanced by internet posting--has placed it among the best-selling books on artmaking and creativity nationally. Art & Fear has attracted a remarkably diverse audience, ranging from beginning to accomplished artists in every medium, and including an exceptional concentration among students and teachers. The original Capra Press edition of Art & Fear sold 80,000 copies. An excerpt: Today, more than it was however many years ago, art is hard because you have to keep after it so consistently. On so many different fronts. For so little external reward. Artists become veteran artists only by making peace not just with themselves, but with a huge range of issues. You have to find your work. . .
