  Identity Theft: Rediscovering...

  Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.

  Marine Pollution - What Everyone...

  Judith S. Weis

  For millennia, human societies have viewed the ocean as a dumping ground for waste products of all kinds. The sources of marine pollution are extensive, including oil spills, sewage, fertilizers, pesticides, industrial wastes, heavy metals, ocean acidification, plastics, and even invasive species, considered biological pollution. Yet, the solutions are not as clear. 
   
  Updated to reflect recent research, this book discusses the sources of marine pollutants, their effects on marine organisms and humans, and how to reduce or eliminate them. Weis covers the aftermath of oil spills in addition to "emerging" topics like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, noise pollution, and PFAS. A new chapter examines the prevalence of microplastics and how they rise through the food chain into human beings, along with their associated toxic chemicals. Additional chapters address the deadly effects of climate change in the ocean but also focus on actions that all people can take, citing recent environmental improvements as a cause for hope.

  HOW THIS PRODUCT CAN WORK FOR YOU
   
  For a restful night's sleep, there are several phases you go through. With each phase our sleep gets deeper, our body becomes more relaxed, and our brain wave patterns slow down. We experience our deepest sleep phase when our brain enters the delta wave state. Delta sleep is the phase in which the body regenerates and rebalances itself for the new day.
   
  
   
  Getting enough sleep is therefore essential for a healthy, productive life. This program has been proven to increase delta wave activity in your brain. The program has already helped many people to find regular, restful, and revitalizing sleep. ULTIMATE SLEEP SOUNDS is a pioneer in the field of audio-acoustic research. Numerous companies, health professionals, meditation groups, and individuals swear by their audio programs and their spectacular soundscapes that stimulate our brain waves and put them into a state of deep relaxation.
