La vitamina de la felicidad (con prólogo de Rafael Santandreu): La solución de la vitamina D para mejorar nuestra salud física y emocional
by Michael F. HolickLa vitamina de la felicidad ofrece un plan accesible y práctico para revertir el déficit de vitamina D y disfrutar de una vida mucho más saludable. El déficit de vitamina D se ha convertido en un grave problema en la mayoría de los países desarrollados. Su falta provoca dolores crónicos, molestias y fatiga, agrava enfermedades y empeora la calidad de vida. Tras décadas de investigación, el doctor Michael F. Holick, eminencia mundial por sus conocimientos sobre la vitamina D, nos descubre en este libro que el cuerpo humano precisa cierta exposición al sol, sin protección, para garantizar un nivel adecuado de esta vitamina en nuestro organismo. Esto es importante porque, como Holick explica, el déficit de vitamina D puede incidir en algunas dolencias complejas, como la fibromialgia, la fatiga crónica, la infertilidad, la depresión, la esclerosis múltiple, la osteoporosis, la artritis reumatoide, la hipertensión, las enfermedades del corazón, el cáncer, la soriasis y muchas otras. Reseñas:«¡Salud comprobada científicamente!: mejores defensas, más fuerza y alegría interior.»Rafael Santandreu «Lo mejor que puedes hacer para mejorar tu salud y protegerte contra numerosas enfermedades crónicas es seguir los consejos del doctor Holick.»Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, autor del best seller Anticáncer: una nueva forma de vida
La voz del conocimiento: Una guía práctica para el arte de las relaciones (Un libro de la sabiduría tolteca)
by Don Miguel Ruiz Janet MillsEn La voz del conocimiento, Miguel Ruiz nos recuerda una verdad sencilla y profunda: el único modo de acabar con nuestro sufrimiento emocional y recuperar nuestra dicha de vivir consiste en dejar de creer en mentiras — principalmente sobre nosotros mismos. Basado en la antigua sabiduría tolteca, este penetrante libro nos enseña a recuperar nuestra fe en la verdad y a regresar a nuestro propio sentido común. Ruiz cambia la manera en la que nos percibimos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Después, abre la puerta a una realidad que percibíamos cuando sólo teníamos uno o dos años de edad: una realidad de verdad, amor y dicha. &“Nacemos en la verdad, pero crecemos creyendo en mentiras. . . . Una de las mayores mentiras de la historia de la humanidad es la mentira de nuestra imperfección.&” — don Miguel Ruiz Más sobre el libro Antes de aprender a hablar, nuestra verdadera naturaleza es la de amar, ser felices, explorar y disfrutar la vida. Escuchamos la voz silenciosa de nuestra integridad. Una vez que aprendemos a hablar, las personas que nos rodean captan nuestra atención y nos programan con conocimiento. Pero ese conocimiento está contaminado por las mentiras. Al centrar nuestra atención en el conocimiento que está en nuestra cabeza, dejamos de percibir el mundo a través de los ojos del amor; sólo percibimos lo que hemos aprendido a creer. Estamos a merced de la voz del conocimiento. Esa voz no para de hablar, de juzgar, de chismorrear, y de maltratarnos. Sabotea nuestra felicidad y nos impide disfrutar de una realidad basada en la verdad y el amor. Ruiz nos enseña a recobrar la voz silenciosa de nuestra integridad y a encontrar la paz interior. Cuando la voz del conocimiento deja de controlarnos, nuestra vida se convierte en una expresión de nuestro yo auténtico, tal como era antes de que aprendiéramos a hablar. Entonces, regresamos a la verdad, al amor, y vivimos de nuevo en la felicidad.

Labor of Love: Gestational Surrogacy and the Work of Making Babies
by Heather JacobsonWhile the practice of surrogacy has existed for millennia, new fertility technologies have allowed women to act as gestational surrogates, carrying children that are not genetically their own. While some women volunteer to act as gestational surrogates for friends or family members, others get paid for performing this service. The first ethnographic study of gestational surrogacy in the United States, Labor of Love examines the conflicted attitudes that emerge when the ostensibly priceless act of bringing a child into the world becomes a paid occupation. Heather Jacobson interviews not only surrogate mothers, but also their family members, the intended parents who employ surrogates, and the various professionals who work to facilitate the process. Seeking to understand how gestational surrogates perceive their vocation, she discovers that many regard surrogacy as a calling, but are reluctant to describe it as a job. In the process, Jacobson dissects the complex set of social attitudes underlying this resistance toward conceiving of pregnancy as a form of employment. Through her extensive field research, Jacobson gives readers a firsthand look at the many challenges faced by gestational surrogates, who deal with complicated medical procedures, delicate work-family balances, and tricky social dynamics. Yet Labor of Love also demonstrates the extent to which advances in reproductive technology are affecting all Americans, changing how we think about maternity, family, and the labor involved in giving birth.

Laboratories of Art
by Sven DupréThis book explores the interconnections and differentiations between artisanal workshops and alchemical laboratories and between the arts and alchemy from Antiquity to the eighteenth century. In particular, it scrutinizes epistemic exchanges between producers of the arts and alchemists. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the term laboratorium uniquely referred to workplaces in which 'chemical' operations were performed: smelting, combustion, distillation, dissolution and precipitation. Artisanal workshops equipped with furnaces and fire in which 'chemical' operations were performed were also known as laboratories. Transmutational alchemy (the transmutation of all base metals into more noble ones, especially gold) was only one aspect of alchemy in the early modern period. The practice of alchemy was also about the chemical production of things--medicines, porcelain, dyes and other products as well as precious metals and about the knowledge of how to produce them. This book uses examples such as the Uffizi to discuss how Renaissance courts established spaces where artisanal workshops and laboratories were brought together, thus facilitating the circulation of materials, people and knowledge between the worlds of craft (today's decorative arts) and alchemy. Artisans became involved in alchemical pursuits beyond a shared material culture and some crafts relied on chemical expertise offered by scholars trained as alchemists. Above all, texts and books, products and symbols of scholarly culture played an increasingly important role in artisanal workshops. In these workplaces a sort of hybrid figure was at work. With one foot in artisanal and the other in scholarly culture this hybrid practitioner is impossible to categorize in the mutually exclusive categories of scholar and craftsman. By the seventeenth century the expertise of some glassmakers, silver and goldsmiths and producers of porcelain was just as based in the worlds of alchemical and bookish learning as it was grounded in hands-on work in the laboratory. This book suggests that this shift in workshop culture facilitated the epistemic exchanges between alchemists and producers of the decorative arts.
Laboratory Guide to Human Physiology: Concepts and Clinical Applications
by Stuart Ira FoxThe seventh edition of this laboratory guide, like the previous editions, is a "stand-alone" human physiology manual that can be used in conjunction with any human physiology textbook. It includes a wide variety of exercises that support most areas covered in a human physiology course, thus affording instructors the flexibility to choose those exercises best suited to meet their particular instructional goals. Background information that is needed to understand the principles and significance of each exercise is presented in a concise manner, so that little or no support is needed from the lecture text. <p><p> The lecture and laboratory segments of the human physiology course, however, are most effectively wedded when they cover topics in a similar manner and sequence. Thus, this laboratory guide is best used in conjunction with my textbook, Human Physiology, fifth edition (Wm. C. Brown Publishers, 1996). <p> The laboratory experiences provided by this guide allow students to become familiar--in an intimate way that cannot be achieved by lecture and text alone--with many fundamental concepts of physiology. In addition to providing hands-on experience in applying physiological concepts, the laboratory sessions allow students to interact with the subject matter, other students, and the instructor in a personal, less formal way. Active learning is required to perform the exercises and to complete the laboratory report at the end of each exercise.

Lacan on Desire: Reading Seminar VI (The Palgrave Lacan Series)
by Bruce FinkThis companion to Lacan’s Seminar VI guides readers through an examination of desire, fantasy, dream interpretation, death, object a, and the signifier of the lack in the Other as they are elaborated by Lacan. Bruce Fink draws on his extensive experience as a practicing analyst and as a leading translator of Lacan’s work (including Seminar VI), in this highly accessible exploration which includes both close textual analysis and illustrative clinical vignettes. Seminar VI, Desire and Its Interpretation, and Fink’s discussion of it here constitute a timely intervention for clinicians, for whom an engagement with desire is pivotal to the direction of the treatment, and for students and scholars interested in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, comparative literature, art, film, and social and political theory, for whom desire, fantasy, and object a may be useful conceptual tools. Combining rigorous analysis and a clear writing style, this guide provides an invaluable new resource.

Lactivism: How Feminists and Fundamentalists, Hippies and Yuppies, and Physicians and Politicians Made Breastfeeding Big Business and Bad Policy
by Courtney JungIs breast really best? Breastfeeding is widely assumed to be the healthiest choice, yet growing evidence suggests that its benefits have been greatly exaggerated. New moms are pressured by doctors, health officials, and friends to avoid the bottle at all costs--often at the expense of their jobs, their pocketbooks, and their well-being. In Lactivism, political scientist Courtney Jung offers the most deeply researched and far-reaching critique of breastfeeding advocacy to date. Drawing on her own experience as a devoted mother who breastfed her two children and her expertise as a social scientist, Jung investigates the benefits of breastfeeding and asks why so many people across the political spectrum are passionately invested in promoting it, even as its health benefits have been persuasively challenged. What emerges is an eye-opening story about class and race in America, the big business of breastfeeding, and the fraught politics of contemporary motherhood.
Ladled
by Kimberly HarrisA hearty stew on a cold winter night; a light, clear soup as a start to a meal; a spicy pho soup to warm the body and soul...It's hard to imagine a more comforting, nourishing food than a homemade soup or stew. And it is even harder to find a food more steeped in history. The art of creating homemade stocks and soups has known no borders, leading to such delicacies as Scottish yellow broth, Vietnamese pho soup, Indian lentil soup, and English pea soup. But these types of tantalizing creations, once a part of most households, have been largely replaced with canned foods or overly salted and MSG-laden restaurant fare. With homemade soups and stews being nourishing, delicious, frugal, and simple to make, this has been a great loss indeed. Ladled: Nourishing Soups for All Seasons seeks to rekindle a love for making soups and stews at home, with instructions for every part of soup making. It details how to create a wide variety of stocks and how to salt a soup correctly. It describes how to create soups and stews both simple and complex, offers a detailed shopping guide that helps you find fresh ingredients, and breaks down all the healthy benefits of making your own homemade stocks. As a busy mother, Kimberly Harris shares many soups that are simple enough to enjoy on an everyday basis and shows you how to integrate this traditional art into a busy modern lifestlye.

Lady Lushes: Gender, Alcoholism, and Medicine in Modern America
by Michelle L. McClellanAccording to the popular press in the mid twentieth century, American women, in a misguided attempt to act like men in work and leisure, were drinking more. “Lady Lushes” were becoming a widespread social phenomenon. From the glamorous hard-drinking flapper of the 1920s to the disgraced and alcoholic wife and mother played by Lee Remick in the 1962 film “Days of Wine and Roses,” alcohol consumption by American women has been seen as both a prerogative and as a threat to health, happiness, and the social order. In Lady Lushes, medical historian Michelle L. McClellan traces the story of the female alcoholic from the late-nineteenth through the twentieth century. She draws on a range of sources to demonstrate the persistence of the belief that alcohol use is antithetical to an idealized feminine role, particularly one that glorifies motherhood. Lady Lushes offers a fresh perspective on the importance of gender role ideology in the formation of medical knowledge and authority.
