  A photo-filled history of the world-renowned medical center, based on the award-winning PBS documentary by Ken Burns, Erik Ewers, and Christopher Loren Ewers.   On September 30, 1889, W.W. Mayo and his sons Will and Charlie performed the very first operation at a brand-new Catholic hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. It was called Saint Mary’s. The hospital was born out of the devastation of a tornado that had struck the town six years earlier, after which Mother Alfred Moes of the Sisters of Saint Francis told the Mayos that she had a vision of building a hospital that would “become world renowned for its medical arts.”   Based on the film by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, The Mayo Clinic: Faith, Hope, Science chronicles the history of this unique organization, from its roots as an unlikely partnership between a country doctor and a Franciscan order of nuns to its position today as a worldwide model for patient care, research, and education. Featuring more than 400 compelling archival and modern images, as well as the complete script from the film, the book demonstrates how the institution’s remarkable history continues to inspire the way medicine is practiced there today.   In addition, case studies reveal patients, doctors, and nurses in their most private moments as together they face difficult diagnoses and embark on uncertain treatments. The film and this companion book tell the story of an organization that has managed to stay true to its primary value: The needs of the patient come first. Together they make an important contribution to the critical discussions about the delivery of health care today in America—and the world.

  Anti-vaxxers - How to Challenge...

  In Anti-Vaxxers, Jonathan Berman explores the phenomenon of the anti-vaccination movement, recounting its history from its nineteenth-century antecedents to today's activism, examining its claims, and suggesting a strategy for countering them.After providing background information on vaccines and how they work, Berman describes resistance to Britain's Vaccination Act of 1853, showing that the arguments anticipate those made by today's anti-vaxxers. He discusses the development of new vaccines in the twentieth century, including those protecting against polio and MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), and the debunked paper that linked the MMR vaccine to autism; the CDC conspiracy theory promoted in the documentary Vaxxed; recommendations for an alternative vaccination schedule; Kennedy's misinformed campaign against thimerosal; and the much-abused religious exemption to vaccination.Anti-vaxxers have changed their minds, but rarely because someone has given them a list of facts. Berman argues that anti-vaccination activism is tied closely to how people see themselves as parents and community members. Effective pro-vaccination efforts should emphasize these cultural aspects rather than battling social media posts.

  From the desk of the How-To Junkie for the Peak Performance Junkie:
  
  Howdy friend, who wants to push yourself to the limit, to perform at your best when it matters?
  
  What if I were to tell you that you could enhance your performance in any area of your life, right now, at will? How?
  
  First off, if you want to achieve anything worthwhile, you have to absolutely be on top of your A-game - however, not all of us can sustain our very best all the time. Whenever there is any sign of struggle or setback making you want to quit, that is when your limit is truly being tested. You can either give up, or push yourself past that threshold into a new peak mental state you never knew you had before, surprising even yourself.
  
  Let's be honest, we all just want to relax and take things easy, especially during hardships where much-needed efforts are required - hence, we are lazy by nature. Do you deny that? OK fine, if you had a choice, which one would you opt for a) soaking up sun on the beach in the Caribbean with endless cocktails to your heart's content, or, b) returning to work Monday morning to the endless tasks ready to sink your teeth into? The answer is obvious.
  
  Is all this because of a lack of energy, mental toughness, or motivation, causing poor performance? Whatever the issue is, it no longer matters, because what I'm about to show you will put you into a state of mental-hyperactive overdrive, to perform at your peak when it really counts.
  
  This is none other than the Peak Performance Junkie.
  
  By being a Peak Performance Junkie, you will know:
  
  How to always push past your limits when you need to the most, where failure is not an option.
  How to condition yourself to create new threshold limits to level up your performance each time.
  
  How to incite enthusiasm to increase efficiency, and effectiveness to perform being in the zone.
  
  How to physically stimulate your whole being and pump up your energy level, whenever you are tired.
  
  How to use this one powerful mental hack to trick your mind to keep working non-stop, relentlessly.
