The Wolf : Culture, Nature, Heritage
New insights into the changing human attitudes towards wild nature through the depiction of wolves in human culture and heritage. Few animals arouse such strong opinion as the wolf.It occupies a contested, ambiguous, yet central role in human culture and heritage.It appears as both an inspirational emblem of the wild and an embodiment of evil.Offering a mirror to different human attitudes, beliefs, and values, the wolf is, arguably, the species that plays the greatest role in shaping our views on what nature is or should be. North America and, more recently, Europe have witnessed a remarkable return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus, and its close relative the Eurasian wolf, Canis lupus lupus) to eco-systems.The essays collected here explore aspects of this recovery, and consider the history, literature and myth surrounding this iconic species.There are chapters on wolf taxonomy, including the coywolf, the red wolf, and the many faces of the dingo.We also meet the Tasmanian wolf and encounter Nazi Werewolves from Outer Space.The book explores the challenges of separating fact from fiction and superstition, and our willingness to co-exist with large carnivores in the twenty-first century.Biologists, historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists, conservationists and museologists will all find riches in the detail presented in this wolf collection.

Health Problems : Philosophical Puzzles about the Nature of Health
Health is weird. Health is weird in a way that resists simple explanations or elegant theorizing.This book is a philosophical explanation of that weirdness, and an argument that grappling with the distinctive weirdness of health can give us insight into how we might approach difficult questions about social reality.After examining extant theories of health - and finding them lacking - the book explores some particularly intractable puzzles about the nature of health, places where we often feel pulled in multiple directions or have reason to say conflicting things.On the basis of these puzzles, the book then defends a stance called ameliorative skepticism.Although health is real, there is, on this view, no way of giving a coherent, explanatorily adequate answer to the question “what is health?” Yet adopting this skeptical stance can, it is argued, help us to better understand the role that health plays in our lives, and the work that we need a theory of health to do.

Culture, Diversity and Health in Australia : Towards Culturally Safe Health Care
Australia is increasingly recognised as a multicultural and diverse society.Nationally, all accrediting bodies for allied health, nursing, midwifery and medical professions require tertiary educated students to be culturally safe with regards to cultural and social diversity.This text, drawing on experts from a range of disciplines, including public health, nursing and sociology, shows how the theory and practice of cultural safety can inform effective health care practices with all kinds of diverse populations. Part 1 explores key themes and concepts, including social determinants of health and cultural models of health and health care.There is a particular focus on how different models of health, including the biomedical and Indigenous perspectives, intersect in Australia today.Part 2 looks at culturally safe health care practice focusing on principles and practice as well as policy and advocacy.The authors consider the practices that can be most effective, including meaningful communication skills and cultural responsiveness.Part 3 examines the practice issues in working with diverse populations, including Indigenous Australians, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Australians, Australians with disabilities, Australians of diverse sexual orientation and gender identity, and ageing Australians.Part 4 combines all learnings from Parts 1–3 into practical learning activities, assessments and feedback for learners engaging with this textbook.Culture, Diversity and Health in Australia is a sensitive, richly nuanced and comprehensive guide to effective health practice in Australia today and is a key reference text for either undergraduate or postgraduate students studying health care.It will also be of interest to professional health care practitioners and policy administrators.

Culture, Health and Illness, Fifth edition
Culture, Health and Illness is the leading international textbook on the role of cultural and social factors in health, illness, and medical care.Since first published in 1984, it has been used in over 40 countries within universities, medical schools and nursing colleges.This new edition meets the ever-growing need for a clear starting point in understanding the clinical significance of cultural and social factors.The book addresses the complex interactions between health, illness and culture by setting out anthropological theory in a highly readable, jargon-free style and integrating this with the practice of health care using real-life examples and case histories. Fully revised throughout, the fifth edition has expanded its coverage of topics that are challenging both the patient and the carer's understanding of health and illness: poverty and inequality of healthcare, genetics, biotechnology, the internet and health, chronic diseases, drug-resistant infections, changes in nutrition and body image, medical care of migrants, medical technology, global pandemics such as AIDS and malaria, drug and alcohol dependence, and patients' 'languages of distress', a complex topic central to the doctor-patient relationship. In today's world of increasing cultural, religious and ethnic diversity of populations, Culture, Health and Illness is essential reading for students of medicine, nursing, psychiatry, public health, health education, international health and medical anthropology, across the globe.

Earthing : The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!
EARTHING introduces readers to the landmark discovery that living in contact with the Earth's natural surface charge - being grounded - naturally discharges and prevents chronic inflammation in the body.This effect has massive health implications because of the well-established link between chronic inflammation and all chronic diseases, including the diseases of ageing and the ageing process itself. Earthing is the simple solution to reduce and prevent inflammation and as easy as being barefoot outdoors or sleeping, working, relaxing indoors on conductive products that conveniently ground your body to the earth.The book documents how grounding the body consistently produces these and other common benefits: · Rapid reduction of inflammation· Rapid reduction or elimination of chronic pain· Dynamic blood flow improvement to better supply the cells and tissues of the body with vital oxygen and nutrition· Reduced stress· Increased energy· Improved sleep· Accelerated healing from injuries and surgery without the hot burning inflammatory painThroughout history, humans have maintained an electrical ground connection with the Earth that naturally curbed inflammation disorder in the body.We walked barefoot and slept directly on the Earth. We were at all times naturally charged with the healing energy of the Earth.EARTHING shows us how to re-establish that link. Today, however, we mostly live and work insulated from the Earth.We wear non-conductive shoes with synthetic soles, walk on carpeted floors and sleep in elevated beds.We rarely go barefoot outside. We're disconnected. Consequently, our bodies become chronically charged with inflammation.This unnatural development represents an overlooked reason why immune dysfunction and inflammation-related health disorders have dramatically proliferated over the last half-century, ravaging adults and children alike.We've lost our electrical roots, the Earth's electrical ground that serves as our primordial anti-inflammatory protection. Earthing is a missing link in the health equation. This book tells why and what to do about it.
