Summary

Girlhood Needs Iron explores the vital role of iron in girls' health, highlighting how iron deficiency can impact physical and cognitive development. This book delves into the biology of iron, explaining its function in blood production and oxygen transport, while also examining the prevalence and causes of iron deficiency in different populations.

 
Did you know that iron deficiency anemia disproportionately affects adolescent girls, hindering their growth and cognitive function? The book argues that ensuring adequate iron intake isn't just about preventing anemia, but about investing in girls' future health and empowerment.

 
The book progresses logically, first introducing the basics of iron metabolism and the specific needs of girls. It then looks at the reasons behind iron deficiency, such as diet and socioeconomic factors. Subsequent chapters offer dietary strategies, focusing on iron-rich foods and enhancers of iron absorption, such as vitamin C, and critically evaluates iron supplementation, considering benefits, risks, and dosage.

 
The book's strength lies in its translation of science into actionable strategies for individuals, families, healthcare providers, and policymakers, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in adolescent health and girls nutrition.

    *Walter Russell's* *A New Concept of the Universe* offers a revolutionary perspective on the nature of reality, blending science, philosophy, and metaphysics to present a unified model of the cosmos. In this groundbreaking work, Russell challenges conventional scientific theories about atomic structure, energy, and matter, proposing instead a dynamic, rhythmic universe governed by principles of balance and unity. He emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, where opposites such as light and darkness, motion and stillness, continually interplay to sustain the cosmic order. Russell's work seeks to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, offering readers a profound understanding of the universe's underlying intelligence and the role of consciousness in shaping reality. Through this book, he invites readers to reconsider humanity's place in the cosmos and embrace a more holistic vision of existence.

    Health-care providers and their patients are human, and all humans have unconscious biases that affect how we listen, observe, and act. Bias impacts patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Health-care bias can mean the difference not just between suffering and relief, but between life and death. 
     
     
     
    For the first time, an author with the unique perspective of being one of America's top doctors, a woman, and Black, candidly addresses the issue of bias in health care, sharing personal and patient stories and pragmatic solutions. Dr. Angela Marshall, repeatedly named a "Top Doctor" by Washingtonian magazine, draws on extensive research, poignant stories from some of the thousands of patients she has treated, and her own compelling personal experience, to examine the bias from both patients' and health-care providers' points of view. She offers a bold blueprint for change, filled with fresh solutions that can help everyone in our health-care system. 
     
     
     
    Dismissed not only explains what so many people feel so profoundly—that the system is working against them. It also reveals what health-care practitioners, patients, and society in general can do to make it right.
