  ●   How the 4-point P.A.C.E. Method makes it easier to practice and apply common nursing aide skills without needing a crib sheet 
  ●   5 full-length practice tests featuring 300 different questions based on real CNA Exam questions 
  ●   The 6 principles of physical care every nursing assistant should know by heart, and how each one applies to the various basic nursing skills 
  ●   A slight tweak in how you perform your skills that can help ensure you don’t get mistakenly penalized during the demonstration 
  And much more! 
  With 5 full-length practice tests and dozens of extra practice questions, you’ll have a full grasp of what to expect on each section of the exam. You’ll also discover how to use the P.A.C.E. Method to guide your way through the skills portion.

  How the Clinic Made Gender - The...

  An eye-opening exploration of the medical origins of gender in modern US history.  
   
  Today, a world without “gender” is hard to imagine. Gender is at the center of contentious political and social debates, shapes policy decisions, and informs our everyday lives. Its formulation, however, is lesser known: Gender was first used in clinical practice. This book tells the story of the invention of gender in American medicine, detailing how it was shaped by mid-twentieth-century American notions of culture, personality, and social engineering.  
   
  Sandra Eder shows how the concept of gender transformed from a pragmatic tool in the sex assignment of children with intersex traits in the 1950s to an essential category in clinics for transgender individuals in the 1960s. Following gender outside the clinic, she reconstructs the variable ways feminists integrated gender into their theories and practices in the 1970s. The process by which ideas about gender became medicalized, enforced, and popularized was messy, and the route by which gender came to be understood and applied through the treatment of patients with intersex traits was fraught and contested. In historicizing the emergence of the sex/gender binary, Eder reveals the role of medical practice in developing a transformative idea and the interdependence between practice and wider social norms that inform the attitudes of physicians and researchers. She shows that ideas like gender can take on a life of their own and may be used to question the normative perceptions they were based on. Illuminating and deeply researched, the book closes a notable gap in the history of gender and will inspire current debates on the relationship between social norms and medical practice.

  How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences 
   
   
   
  In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. 
   
   
   
  Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.

  Urban Environmental Studies -...

  Urban Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the complex relationship between cities, their natural environments, and the sustainability of both. As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, understanding the environmental challenges and opportunities within urban settings is crucial for creating sustainable, livable cities. This chapter introduces the core principles of Urban Environmental Studies, outlining the essential role of urban ecosystems and their impact on the broader global environment. 
  Cities, as centers of human activity, consumption, and growth, have a significant effect on the planet's natural systems. The rapid expansion of urban areas, particularly in developing regions, has led to heightened concerns regarding air quality, water management, waste disposal, and biodiversity loss. These environmental issues are exacerbated by factors such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality, highlighting the need for integrated approaches to managing urban environments. 
  Urban Environmental Studies seeks to address these challenges by examining the ways in which cities interact with their surrounding ecosystems. It focuses on how urban areas can mitigate their environmental footprint while enhancing the quality of life for their inhabitants. Central to this field is the concept of sustainability—an approach that promotes the careful use of resources to meet the needs of present and future generations. This includes developing green infrastructure, managing natural resources efficiently, and creating green spaces that benefit both people and the environment.
