  Global health is a field that aims to improve health and achieve equity in health for people around the world. It involves understanding health issues that go beyond national boundaries and are influenced by conditions in various parts of the globe. The primary goal of global health is to reduce health disparities and enhance well-being on an international level by examining how diseases spread, what factors affect health, and the most effective methods to improve public health outcomes. 
    
  Global health is defined as the study, research, and practice that focuses on improving health and promoting health equity for all populations across the world. It takes a collaborative approach that involves multiple disciplines to address health challenges globally, striving to reduce inequalities in health outcomes. 
    
  The importance of global health lies in its role in preventing and controlling diseases that can affect populations worldwide. Health issues like infectious diseases do not recognize national borders, and global health efforts are essential in minimizing their spread and impact. The field also emphasizes reducing differences in health outcomes among populations by working to ensure that all people have access to necessary healthcare services, regardless of where they live or their economic situation.

  Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

  These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
   
   
   
  But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
   
   
   
  In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.

  Bluebird Seasons - Witnessing...

  Mary Taylor Young

  In this A Sand County Almanac for the twenty-first century, nature writer and zoologist Mary Taylor Young tells the story of the growing effects of climate change on her land in the pine-covered foothills of southern Colorado. 
   
   
    
  Climate change wasn't yet on the public radar when Young and her husband bought their piece of the wild in 1995. They built a cabin and set up a trail of bluebird nest boxes, and Mary began a nature journal of her observations, delighting in the ceaseless dramas, joys, and tragedies that are the fabric of life in the wild. 
   
   
    
  But changes greater than the seasonal cycles of nature became evident over time: increasing drought, trees killed by plagues of beetles, wildfires, catastrophic weather, bears entering hibernation later and thinner, the decline of some familiar birds, and the appearance of new species. 
   
   
    
  Using the journal as a chronicle of change, Young tells a story echoed in everyone's lives and backyards. But it's not time to despair, she writes. It's time to act. 
   
   
    
  Young sees hope in the human ability to overcome great obstacles, in the energy and determination of young people, and in nature's resilience, which the bluebirds show season after season.

  "Look at the birds"
  Through the painful days of the pandemic stuck in her home, Courtney Ellis found herself looking down in despair. Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.
  It was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. "Took up" might not be exactly right—as she puts it, "the switch flipped," and she's been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.
  Looking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By "looking up" to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God's promises.
  Complete with bird songs at the beginning of each track, this audiobook enhances your experience as you look up and listen to the birds.
