  • The Language of Illness - cover

    The Language of Illness

    Fergus Shanahan

    The practice of medicine has advanced dramatically in recent years, but the language used to discuss illness – by medical practitioners, patients and carers – has not kept pace. As a result, clinicians and, just as importantly, patients and their relatives and carers, are not able to communicate clearly in relation to illness. The upshot is misunderstanding and confusion on all sides.
    In this ground-breaking book, Dr Fergus Shanahan, an eminent gastroenterologist who has practised in Ireland, the United States and Canada, and published widely around the world, looks at memoirs of illness, and outlines the lessons we can learn from a better understanding of the words we use to describe illness. He looks at the ways in which language can act as a barrier with regard to illness, and proposes practical ways in which we can dismantle these barriers. The book is written for the general reader: as Dr Shanahan puts it himself, he is "enough of an expert to be wary of experts".
    The Language of Illness, part manifesto, part memoir, and part instruction manual, is an appeal for the use of clearer, more holistic language, by all those involved with, and affected by, illness. Like the great American poet-doctor William Carlos Williams, he aims to help us develop a new language by means of which we can develop a new way of living with illness – which is an integral part of the human condition. Put simply, it is a book for all those who care about caring.

  • Assuming the Ecosexual Position - The Earth as Lover - cover

    Assuming the Ecosexual Position...

    Annie Sprinkle, Beth Stephens,...

    What's sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have spent many years bringing to light in their live art, exhibitions, and films. In 2008, Sprinkle and Stephens married the Earth, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, materialist, exuberant, and steeped in humor.Assuming the Ecosexual Position tells of childhood moments that pointed to a future of ecosexuality—for Annie, in her family swimming pool in Los Angeles; for Beth, savoring forbidden tomatoes from the vine on her grandparents' Appalachian farm. The book describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory, which involved influential performance artists Linda M. Montano, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and feminist pornographer Madison Young.

    A guided meditation designed to help you make more moolah!  
    The secret to making more money doesn’t come from a different business model or taking another “waste my time” expensive online course.  
    To increase your wealth you have to tackle the cause of the problem...your negative thoughts. 
    Abundance begins between your two ears. 
    To stop playing small in the money game, you need to stop the mental thinking self-sabotage. 
    In this guided meditation, you will move past the fears and nasty thinking that have held you back and you’ll decide to never again play small. You’ll begin regaining your confidence, and you will choose that you are worthy of the security and luxury that abundance brings. 
    Increase Your Wealth has been designed carefully to erase the negative thoughts that block you from accessing the abundant life you want and deserve. 
    This guided meditation comes with two valuable ‘extras’ 
    1.	2 different endings. Besides the actual guided meditation itself, you will receive a choice of a ‘sleep’ or ‘wake’ ending depending on whether you are listening in the morning or evening. 
    2.A deep sleep music track. If you choose a sleep ending, this track will help deepen your sleep after you have completed your meditation session.  
    Hi:) I’m Amy Applebaum. And I’m really glad you are here! 
    As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’. 
    Success is first and foremost an Inside Job. 
    I have seen it in my own life. 
    I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs. 
    Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so. 
    We are giving so much to the world around us. 
    But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat. 
    And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation. 
    And I make doing meditation dead easy. 
    My MOVE collections are guided meditations. 
    You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation.  
    All you need to do is throw those earbuds in and drift off to sleep! 
    Downloaded over 500,000 times on places like iTunes and Audible, my MOVE meditations don’t just ‘relax’ and destress, they are specifically designed to help you get MOVING and unstuck. 
    So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted! 
    “In just a short period of time I’ve noticed that it’s made a significant difference in my life. The confidence and money-making downloads have been especially helpful. I’ve been telling friends and family about them ever since. Thank you so much for your time, and for the benefit I’ve already gotten from your amazing meditations.” ~ David Menconi 
    Isn’t it time?  
    Isn’t it time to set aside the roadblocks that are impeding you from being the most abundant possible version of you?And it’s so easy. 
    Just put the earbuds in and listen. 
    Nothing simpler. 
    All you need to do to open the door to abundant living the EASY way 
    is waiting for you here.

    Body Am I - The New Science of...

    The body is central to our sense of identity. Bodily awareness, says scientist-writer Moheb Costandi, is key to self-consciousness. In Body Am I, Costandi examines how the brain perceives the body, how that perception translates into our conscious experience of the body, and how that experience contributes to our sense of self. Along the way, he explores what can happen when the mechanisms of bodily awareness are disturbed, leading to such phenomena as phantom limbs, alien hands, and amputee fetishes. Costandi explains that the brain generates maps and models of the body that guide how we perceive and use it, and that these maps and models are repeatedly modified and reconstructed. Drawing on recent bodily awareness research, the new science of self-consciousness, and historical milestones in neurology, he describes a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders that result when body and brain are out of sync, including not only the well-known phantom limb syndrome but also phantom breast and phantom penis syndromes; body integrity identity disorder, which compels a person to disown and then amputate a healthy arm or leg; and such eating disorders as anorexia. Wide-ranging and meticulously researched, Body Am I offers new insight into self-consciousness by describing it in terms of bodily awareness.
