  “Rich insights into how one country has dealt with perhaps the most central issue for any human society: the health and wellbeing of its citizens.” —The Lancet 
   
  This volume examines important aspects of China’s century-long search to provide appropriate and effective health care for its people. Four subjects—disease and healing, encounters and accommodations, institutions and professions, and people’s health—organize discussions across case studies of schistosomiasis, tuberculosis, mental health, and tobacco and health. 
   
  Among the book’s significant conclusions are the importance of barefoot doctors in disseminating western medicine; the improvements in medical health and services during the long Sino-Japanese war; and the important role of the Chinese consumer. This is a thought-provoking read for health practitioners, historians, and others interested in the history of medicine and health in China.

  Prometheus Bound (Browning...

  Aeschylus

  Whether or not it was actually written by Aeschylus, as is much disputed, "Prometheus Bound" is a powerful statement on behalf of free humanity in the face of what often seem like the impersonal, implacable Forces that rule the Universe.  As one of the most compelling rebel manifestos ever composed, it has appealed not only to the expected host of scholars of Greek drama, but also to a fascinatingly free-spirited array of translators, especially since the early 19th century; Percy Bysshe Shelley, Henry David Thoreau, and activist-poet Augusta Webster are among those who have tried their poetic and linguistic powers at rendering it into English.  Elizabeth Barrett Browning published not one but two completely different translations of it, the first in 1833 when she was twenty-seven years old and the second eighteen years later.  It is this second, far greater, translation presented here. - Summary by Expatriate

  ADHD and Women - What typifies...

  Hello, 
  My name is Suzanne Byrd, and I have been sharing my thoughts and insights on ADHD in a couple of audiobooks we have produced lately. I am an ADHD coach, and I would love to share some of the insights I have gained over the last decade or so with you. I have also found that there isn’t much in the way of informational material that is easy to digest in this area. 
  There are some very good books which talk about ADHD in a great deal of detail and others that are merely repeating what a few blogs are saying. I wanted to go for something that was easy to digest, along with something that would be eminently useful to my audience, in an audiobook format. 
  So who is my audience for this book? I believe that they will be mainly women (or their other halves!) who are interested in reading material about ADHD in adult women because 
  a) they have recently been diagnosed with ADHD or 
  b) they strongly suspect they may have adult ADHD and they want to know more information about it. There is a small sub-group 
  c) that is the spouse/other half of the the women in question, and they want to usually know more about the condition so that they can be in a better position to help their partner our (and also to understand their own emotional response to some of the signs and symptoms of adult ADHD.

It is possible to eliminate the symptoms of Lyme disease, and the author walks the readers through the exact methods he used for healing. The journey transcends traditional health books as it travels beyond the physical-biological world and explores the essential aspects of a world unseen.  
  The information in this book encompasses a rehabilitation of body, mind, and spirit. Also discussed is the philosophy behind a healing mindset. The author goes outside the standard Lyme disease narrative and addresses other hidden maladies that may be preventing recovery.
