Beschreibung

Dust Lung Issues explores the underappreciated link between breathing airborne particles in dry climates and respiratory health. It highlights that as travel to arid regions increases, so does the risk of respiratory illnesses. The book emphasizes the need for greater awareness, research, and preventative measures, given that the health consequences of dust exposure are frequently underestimated.

 
For example, the book examines the historical context of dust-related respiratory problems, ranging from silicosis in miners to outbreaks of Valley Fever, illustrating the long-standing nature of these health threats.

 
The book progresses logically, first investigating the aerobiology of dust and identifying dangerous particulate matter. It then covers specific respiratory diseases linked to dust exposure, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and Valley Fever, detailing their causes, prevalence, and treatment.

 
Finally, it considers preventative measures and public health strategies, like air quality monitoring and protective equipment. It uniquely focuses on respiratory health risks associated with travel to and residence in dry, windy regions, an area often overlooked.

Litigating the Pandemic -...

Susan M. Sterett

As officials scrambled in 2020 to manage the spread of COVID, the reverberations of the crisis reached well beyond immediate public health concerns. The governance problems that emerged in the pandemic would be problems in other climate-related disasters, too. 
 
 
 
Many of these governance problems wound up in court. Businesses filed insurance claims for lost commerce; when the claims were denied, some companies sued. As state governments ordered closures and otherwise tried to adapt, interest organizations that had long sought to limit government authority challenged them in court. Political officials railed against litigation they argued would stop businesses from reopening. The United States, like other countries, governs partly through litigation, and litigation is one way of seeing the multiple governance failures during the pandemic. 
 
 
 
Drawing on databases of cases filed, news reports, and other sources, Susan M. Sterett argues that governing during the pandemic must include the human institutions intertwined with the effects of the virus. Those institutions reveal problems well beyond the reach of technical expertise. Failures in private insurance as a way of governing risk, conflicts about the primacy of religion, government authority, and health, are problems that predated the pandemic and will persist in future disasters.

PRAISE FROM MEDIATION STUDENTS
Dr. Neil Katz (Nova Southeastern University, Maxwell School of Syracuse University) has been assigning The Mediator’s Approach to his graduate-level mediation students since the Spring of 2022. Here’s a sample of what his students had to say:
“This really is a fabulous little book. I really enjoyed reading it – I initially got the Kindle version, but I have subsequently ordered an actual version so I can refer to it more easily and share with others. I almost wish I had read it before taking the course, and again at the conclusion.”
“Tara West’s book puts what were to me initially intimidating topics in a very relatable and easily digestible format. It helped me to process at a high level the various techniques and strategies mediators take in the various approaches that we studied throughout the semester.”

Couple Sexuality After 60 -...

Barry McCarthy, Emily McCarthy

Confronting taboos and misunderstandings about sexuality and aging, Couple Sexuality After 60: Intimate, Pleasurable, and Satisfying motivates couples to embrace sex and sexuality in their sixties, seventies, and eighties. The book busts two extreme myths—that people over sixty cannot and should not be sexual, and that the best way to be sexual is to emphasize eroticism, using sex toys, and "kinky sex." 
 
 
 
Using a variable, flexible approach to couple sexuality based on the Good Enough Sex (GES) model, this book places the essence of sexuality in pleasure-oriented touching, not individual sex performance. Barry and Emily McCarthy introduce a new sexual mantra of "desire/pleasure/eroticism/satisfaction" with the goal of presenting a healthy model of sexuality to replace the traditional double standard that couples learn in young adulthood. Specific chapters focus on important areas like coming to terms with the new normal, female–male sexual equity, satisfaction being about more than intercourse and orgasm, valuing synchronous and asynchronous sexuality, psychobiosocial approaches to sexuality, and more. 
 
 
 
In addition to aging heterosexual couples, single individuals and queer couples will find this book interesting. Additionally, this is a must-listen for sexual health clinicians and sex therapists with clients over the age of sixty.
