Sinossi

'End-of-Life Care' presents a comprehensive exploration of palliative care, focusing on the delicate balance between medical expertise, patient autonomy, and emotional support in terminal care settings.

 
This evidence-based guide navigates the complex landscape of end-of-life care through three fundamental pillars: medical aspects of palliative treatment, preservation of patient dignity through autonomous decision-making, and psychological support for both patients and families. The book traces the evolution of palliative care from the 1960s hospice movement to modern integrated care models, highlighting how medical advances have transformed end-of-life care possibilities and challenges.

 
Through extensive research and case studies from leading facilities, it offers practical solutions for common challenges in palliative care settings, including pain management protocols, advance directive implementation, and communication strategies for difficult conversations. The text skillfully addresses controversial topics like terminal sedation and assisted dying with a balanced, evidence-based approach.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary perspective, connecting medicine with psychology, ethics, and social work to provide a holistic understanding of end-of-life care. The book progresses logically from theoretical frameworks to practical applications, making complex medical and ethical concepts accessible to healthcare professionals, medical students, and informed general readers.

 
Throughout its chapters, it emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and religious considerations while providing specific guidelines for both hospital and home-care settings.

The Wolverine Way

Douglas H. Chadwick, Rick Ridgeway

Glutton, demon of destruction, symbol of slaughter, mightiest of wilderness villains . . . The wolverine comes marked with a reputation based on myth and fancy. Yet this enigmatic animal is more complex than the legends that surround it. With a shrinking wilderness and global warming, the future of the wolverine is uncertain. The Wolverine Way reveals the natural history of this species and the forces that threaten its future, engagingly told by Douglas Chadwick, who volunteered with the Glacier Wolverine Project. This five-year study in Glacier National Park—which involved dealing with blizzards, grizzlies, sheer mountain walls, and other daily challenges to survival—uncovered key missing information about the wolverine's habitat, social structure, and reproduction habits. Wolverines, according to Chadwick, are the land equivalent of polar bears in regard to the impacts of global warming. The plight of wolverines adds to the call for wildlife corridors that connect existing habitat that is proposed by the Freedom to Roam coalition.

Unsettled - Lord Selkirk’s...

Robert Lower

The fascinating story of the Red River Settlement, now Winnipeg, in the years 1813 to 1816, told with archival journals, reports, and letters
		 
Unsettled tells the story of two hundred Highlanders who flee the Scottish Clearances in 1813 to establish a settlement on the Red River in what eventually became Winnipeg. They are sponsored by the Earl of Selkirk, a man who has never been west of Montreal. Families who have never left their Highland crofts take an epic journey over ocean, up wild rivers, and through boundless wilderness, surviving disease and brutal winter only to face the determined opposition of fur barons who want no sodbusters threatening their trade and are prepared to stop at nothing to destroy their dream.
		 
The “empty” land they’ve been promised is also anything but, already occupied by First Nations bands and the beginnings of that proud nation soon to be called Métis, whom they must befriend or fight.
		 
Unsettled takes you inside the experience, relying on journals, reports, and letters to bring these days of soaring hope, crushing despair, and heroic determination to life — to bring their present into ours.

The Unity of Science - Exploring...

Irwin Shapiro

A journey guided by science that explores the universe, the earth, and the story of life 
 
 
  
For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. 
 
 
  
Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence. 
 
 
  
With his knowledgeable yet conversational approach, Shapiro offers an enjoyable way for the curious to learn about the foundations of a range of scientific topics: the motions of bodies in the cosmos, the history and structure of the earth, the evolution of organisms, and the search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence.
