Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In these personal reflections on his thirty years of clinical work with victims of genocide, torture, and abuse in the United States, Cambodia, Bosnia, and other parts of the world, Richard Mollica describes the surprising capacity of traumatized people to heal themselves. Healing Invisible Wounds reveals how trauma survivors, through the telling of their stories, teach all of us how to deal with the tragic events of everyday life. Mollica's important discovery that humiliation--an instrument of violence that also leads to anger and despair--can be transformed through his therapeutic project into solace and redemption is a remarkable new contribution to survivors and clinicians. This book reveals how in every society we have to move away from viewing trauma survivors as "broken people" and "outcasts" to seeing them as courageous people actively contributing to larger social goals. When violence occurs, there is damage not only to individuals but to entire societies, and to the world. Through the journey of self-healing that survivors make, they enable the rest of us not only as individuals but as entire communities to recover from injury in a violent world.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. This book is written in the hope of preventing strokes, based on advice Dr. Spence has given to the more than 16,000 at-risk patients he has seen. It is divided into two sections - ""What Your Doctor Can Do"" and ""What You Can Do."" Quitting smoking, following a Mediterranean diet, taking appropriate drugs to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood clotting, and appropriate surgery for severely narrowed arteries in the neck can reduce stroke by as much as 75 percent in high-risk people. This book contain information, such as: especially among African Americans, but in anyone with blood pressure that is difficult to control, two simple blood tests (measuring renin and aldosterone) make all the difference to successful treatment; a Mediterranean diet will reduce stroke by nearly half in high-risk people. Dr. Spence provides a collection of gourmet ""anti-stroke"" recipes that he prepares for himself; vitamin treatment with folic acid, B6, and B12 may prevent stroke by lowering levels of a new risk factor called homocysteine; advanced imaging methods are improving management of arteries by providing feedback on the effectiveness of therapy; and, Transcranial Doppler embolus detection can identify, among patients with narrowing of the carotid arteries who do not yet have symptoms, the ones who are likely to benefit from surgery or stenting. This approach is the powerful medicine for stroke prevention that patients and their physicians need and will learn from this book.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. On investigative visits to nursing homes across the nation, Beth Baker has witnessed profound changes. Culture change leaders are tearing up everything - the floor plans, the flow charts, the schedules, the lousy menus, the attitudes, the rules - and starting from scratch. They are creating extraordinary places where people live in dignity and greet the day with contentment, assisted by employees who feel valued and appreciated. Perhaps most surprising, these homes prove that a high quality of life does not have to cost more. Some of the best homes in the nation serve primarily low-income people who are on Medicaid. In this new book, Baker tells the story of a better way to live in old age. Although each home is different, they share common values: respecting individual choices; empowering staff; fostering a strong community of elders, staff, family members, and volunteers; redesigning buildings from a hospital model to a home (where pets and children are part of everyday life); and honoring people when they die. Her visits to more than two dozen facilities include those associated with the Eden Alternative, Green House, Kendal, and the Pioneer Network. Whether these transformational homes become the norm or the domain of a lucky few is the question that faces the next generation of elders, the baby boomers.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. The behind-the-scenes story of an abrupt political transition, unprecedented in U.S. history. Based on 160 interviews, Hunt describes how collaborators came together from opposite sides of the political aisle and, in an extraordinary few hours, reached agreement that the corruption and madness of the sitting Governor of Tennessee, Ray Blanton, must be stopped. The sudden transfer of power that caught Blanton unawares was deemed necessary because of what one FBI agent called ""the state's most heinous political crime in half a century"" - a scheme of selling pardons for cash. On January 17, 1979, driven by new information that some of the worst criminals in the state's penitentiaries were about to be released (and fears that James Earl Ray might be one of them), a small bipartisan group chose to take charge. Senior Democratic leaders, friends of the sitting governor, together with the Republican governor-elect Lamar Alexander (now U.S. Senator from Tennessee), agreed to oust Blanton from office before another night fell. It was a manoeuver unique in American political history.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A selection of the best writing and photography published in the 25-year history of the most influential magazine devoted to country music. The great George Jones--so taciturn in conversation, so expressive in song--revealed in a no-holds-barred profile by Nick Tosches. Elvis Presley's explosive first year of stardom considered afresh by Peter Guralnick. The seminal 1927 Bristol, Tennessee, recording sessions (during which the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers were discovered) examined and explained by Charles K. Wolfe. The songwriting of Hank Williams appraised by novelist Lee Smith. These are among the highlights to be found in The Country Reader, an anthology of articles, reviews, and photographs originally published in the Journal of Country Music. Established in 1971, the Country Music Foundation's Journal has quietly acquired an unmatched reputation for publishing some of the most eloquent and thoroughly researched articles available on the subject of country music. Its contributors have included the most respected journalists and historians writing about American music. Among the other notables whose work appears in The Country Reader are Roy Blount, Jr., Greil Marcus, Robert K. Oermann and Mary A. Bufwack, and Douglas B. Green (a.k.a. Ranger Doug of the western group Riders in the Sky). In addition to collecting outstanding writing about the subject, this book functions as a kind of country primer. Taken together, the articles collected in The Country Reader offer a rough outline of country music history, stretching from the earliest recordings on up to the recent careers of Tanya Tucker and Alan Jackson. Along the way, articles touch on monumental figures (Bill Monroe, Patsy Montana, Hank Williams, Elvis Presley) and important sub-genres within country music, such as western swing and the singing cowboy phenomenon. Reviews of Bill C. Malone's revised version of Country Music U.S.A (reviewed by Bill Ivey) and a trio of recent star autobiographies (reviewed by Bob Allen) help provide an overarching framework for the various figures discussed. The Country Reader also includes several outstanding photographers whose work was originally published in the magazine. Their striking photos complement the lively text and tell their own eloquent stories. Finally, as an aid to researchers, librarians, and longtime subscribers, The Country Reader includes comprehensive subject and author listings for all articles published in the Journal of Country Music between 1971 and 1995. This is a book that belongs in the hands and libraries of every fan of country music. …
