Doctors and Demonstrators - How Political Institutions Shape Abortion Law in the United States Britain and Canada

Drew Halfmann

Editora: The University of Chicago Press

Sinopse

Since Roe v. Wade, abortion has continued to be a divisive political issue in the United States. In contrast, it has remained primarily a medical issue in Britain and Canada despite the countries’ shared heritage. Doctors and Demonstrators looks beyond simplistic cultural or religious explanations to find out why abortion politics and policies differ so dramatically in these otherwise similar countries. Drew Halfmann argues that political institutions are the key. In the United States, federalism, judicial review, and a private health care system contributed to the public definition of abortion as an individual right rather than a medical necessity. Meanwhile, Halfmann explains, the porous structure of American political parties gave pro-choice and pro-life groups the opportunity to move the issue onto the political agenda. A groundbreaking study of the complex legal and political factors behind the evolution of abortion policy, Doctors and Demonstrators will be vital for anyone trying to understand this contentious issue.

Inspired Life Beautiful Death -...

Tom Nehmy

What if the pain of grief could truly be healed? What if love never dies?
For years, clinical psychologist Dr. Tom Nehmy struggled to help his grieving clients. Traditional therapy could offer support—but not the profound healing they truly needed. That changed when he discovered Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) Therapy, a groundbreaking technique that not only alleviates deep sadness but also facilitates extraordinary reconnections with the deceased.
In Inspired Life, Beautiful Death, Dr. Nehmy embarks on a deeply personal and scientific journey—one that bridges psychology, grief therapy, and the spiritual dimensions of life after death. Through vivid case studies and cutting-edge research, he reveals how IADC Therapy is transforming lives. Yet, his most powerful insights come from his own experiences—revelations that challenge everything we assume about death, consciousness, and the nature of existence.
This book is not just about grief— it’s about how to live. Drawing from the wisdom of those who have glimpsed the afterlife and reflecting on his own vulnerability, Dr. Nehmy explores what truly matters, offering practical guidance on cultivating love, spiritual awareness, and finding meaning in our greatest struggles. All the while he assures us our loved ones never truly leave us, we can heal from loss in ways once thought impossible, and our deepest fear—the fear of death—is the greatest illusion of all.
Whether you are navigating your own loss, seeking deeper meaning, or simply curious about what lies beyond, this book will challenge your beliefs, move your heart, and leave you with an unshakeable sense of hope.

Greek Mythology - Legends...

Christiano Farrezi

Greek mythology is a rich tapestry of stories, deities, and heroes that has profoundly influenced not only ancient Greek culture but also the broader Western literary and artistic traditions. Rooted in the oral traditions of storytelling, these myths served multiple purposes within Greek society, including providing explanations for natural phenomena, reinforcing social norms, and offering insight into the human condition. 
  
In ancient Greece, mythology was intricately woven into the fabric of everyday life. The gods and goddesses were believed to interact with humans, influencing their fate, guiding their actions, and embodying the ideals and values of society. The Greeks worshiped a pantheon of deities, each representing different aspects of life and the natural world. For instance, Zeus ruled the sky and upheld justice, while Athena symbolized wisdom and warfare, and Demeter represented agriculture and fertility. These gods were not only worshiped in temples but also featured prominently in festivals, rituals, and public ceremonies, reinforcing community bonds and shared beliefs.
