  Supply and Demand

  "Supply and Demand" is a book written by Hubert Henderson that explores the economic principles of supply and demand. The book examines how prices are determined in a free market economy and how changes in supply and demand affect those prices. 
  Henderson argues that prices serve as signals in a market economy, reflecting the underlying conditions of supply and demand. When demand for a product or service is high relative to its supply, prices will rise, incentivizing producers to increase production and meet the demand. Conversely, when supply exceeds demand, prices will fall, discouraging production and encouraging consumption. 
  Henderson also discusses how changes in supply and demand can be affected by factors such as technology, government policies, and consumer preferences. He argues that understanding the principles of supply and demand is essential for policymakers and business leaders in making informed decisions about economic issues. 
  Overall, "Supply and Demand" is a concise and accessible introduction to the principles of economics, and remains an important work in the field today.

  The Integration Journey - A...

  There are numerous models, theories, and resources on integrating psychology and the Christian faith. But practicing integration in the real world is something else entirely. To move from theory to practice, we need learning informed by experiences, reflection on those experiences, and feedback from others. This integration process is a lifelong journey.
  William B. Whitney and Carissa Dwiwardani offer a fresh approach to integration as embodied, lived, and practical. These two seasoned teachers guide students through the process of theological reflection on psychology as part of their spiritual formation and vocation, requiring each person to incorporate their own stories, culture, and experiences. True integration, the authors contend, should work for justice in our churches, communities, and wider society, with particular attention to the marginalized and oppressed.
  Using guided exercises and prompts for reflection and discussion, The Integration Journey invites students to make their own contributions to constructing a culturally informed, organic model of integration that works for them. The goal of integrative reflection is ultimately to be shaped so that we can better love God and others and work toward God's kingdom here on earth.

  Semi-finalist for the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Book AwardIn 1996, a terrible epidemic began killing young American women. Some died quickly, literally dropping in their steps. Others took more time, from a few months to a few years. Those who weren't killed suffered damage to their lungs and hearts, much of it permanent and reparable only with major surgery. Doctors suspected what the killer was. So did the Food and Drug Administration. The culprits were the two most popular diet drugs in the United States, Pondimin, one-half of the popular drug combination Fen-Phen, and Redux, a stronger version of Pondimin. They were also two of the most profitable drugs on the market, and both were produced and sold by a powerful pharmaceutical company, Wyeth-Ayerst, a division of American Home Products. Dispensing the Truth is the gripping storry of what the drug really knew about its drugs, the ways it kept this information from the public, doctors, and FDA, and the massive legal battles that ensued as victims and their attorneys searched for the truth behind the debacle.It tells the story of a healthy young woman, Mary Linnen, who took the drugs for only twenty-three days to lose weight before her wedding, and then died in the arms of her fiance a few months later. Hers was the first wrongful-death suit filed amd would become the most important single suit the company would ever face.Alicia Mundy provides a shocking and thoroughly riveting narrative. It is a stark look at the consequences of greed and a cautionary tale for the future.

  A gripping and deeply-felt examination of incarcerated women's lives 
   
   
   
  With unflinching clarity, Hidden Healers cuts through the myths about incarcerated women to expose the all-too-real brutalities they face within a criminal legal system never designed for them. Backed by three decades' experience providing therapeutic programs inside prisons across the United States, trauma specialist Dr. Stephanie Covington has used her unique access to amplify the voices of the women themselves. Their stories illuminate realities most never see: that most women who get caught up in the criminal justice system have themselves been victims of harm, that the degradations of today's prisons and jails only magnify their trauma— and that incarcerated women regularly risk punishment to tend to one another's well-being in unexpected acts of kindness. Grounded in research and rich with personal narrative, Hidden Healers is a poignant and riveting look inside women's prisons and jails—and what we can do to help.

  Omega-3 fatty acids can limit the inflammation that is the underlying cause of many severe diseases of modern civilization, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The Omega-Factor presents information on the mechanisms whereby inflammation damages organs and the blood vessels serving them, as well as the hard science on the mechanisms by which the omega-3 fatty acids protect those tissues. It also features peer-reviewed evidence from clinical trials on these topics. 
   
   
   
  The book gives cutting-edge information from state-of-the-art developments such as the test that can be done to measure the omega-3 status of one's own tissues, the "Omega-3 Index", which can give many years of early warning so that one can take preventive steps and decrease the odds of a heart attack, stroke, or kidney disease. It explains why a Mediterranean diet plan rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is protective, and it features a six-day meal plan with recipes. This book helps listeners understand the differences between various sources of omega-3 fatty acids. 
   
   
   
  The Omega-Factor is an essential resource for healthcare professionals, clinicians, and dietitians, as well as anyone who aims to achieve the goal of a much longer health-span, not just a longer lifespan.
