by Ellen Lewin Virginia OlesenOriginally published in 1985, this collection of essays expands the understanding of both health itself and the ways in which women may experience their roles as consumers and providers of health care.

Women, Sex, Power, And Pleasure: Getting The Life (and Sex) You Want
by Evelyn ReshIn her new book, Women, Sex, Power & Pleasure, Evelyn Resh, a sexuality counselor and certified nurse-midwife, takes an innovative approach to helping women create the lives – and sex lives – they want. With a funny and compassionate, yet tell-it-like-it-is style, she looks at the relationship between feeling powerful in life and accessing life’s pleasures, and their combined effect on sexual desire. Resh introduces six essential qualities that women must have to live healthfully, stating that when these are out of balance women seem to exist in lives devoid of pleasure, self-empowerment, and sex. These markers of emotional well-being are: • Self-confidence and self-esteem • Healthy Habits • Spiritual Satisfaction • Creativity • Self-assurance/re-assurance • Compassion and EmpathyOnce the six traits are laid out, Resh devotes the rest of the book to exploring how, when one or more of a woman’s markers of emotional well-being are off kilter, their reasons for avoiding sex mount exponentially. She looks at some of the most common excuses she’s heard over her many years as a sexuality counselor – I Feel Nothing, It’s All He Thinks About, I’m Too Busy!, I’m Too Fat to Have Sex – and outlines the specific imbalances that create this void of sexual desire and activity. With practical guidance, self-assessment questions, and stories from her practice and personal life, Resh explains to modern women how to regain their emotional wellness and live a powerful life that includes a steady relationship with pleasure and sexual satisfaction.This book is a must read for all women. From housewives to sophisticated urban corporate types, from new moms to post-menopausal women – this book will help any woman who feels estranged from her sexual energy and a sense of empowerment, and deprived of pleasure, or who views sex as just another thing to tick off her overwhelming to-do list.
Women, Sex, and Addiction: A Search for Love and Power
by Charlotte Davis KaslFor most women, sexually addictive and sexually co-dependent behavior are intertwined. Sexually co-dependent behavior reflects basic female conditioning in our society - we are taught that a woman's power is in her sexuality, yet her sexuality is often controlled by men. Thus, sex can easily become a basic form of barter: it is the price many women pay for love and the illusion of security. The addicted woman, seeking a sense of personal power and an escape from pain, may use sex and romance as a high or as a way to feel in control, just as an alcoholic uses alcohol. Either way, however, sex never'satisfies her longing for love and self-worth. Combining remarkably candid case histories with provocative cultural analyses, Dr. Charlotte Kasl dramatically evokes both the experience of addiction and the process of recovery. She illuminates the insidious relationship between adult addiction and early abuse or neglect and explores the connections between all forms of addiction. Her guide to recovery is backed by a life-affirming discussion of healthy love and spiritual awareness. With this wise, compassionate book, women will learn to experience their sexuality as a source of love and positive power, and sex as an expression that honors the soul as well as the body.

Women’s Health in Canada: Challenges of Intersectionality, Second Edition
by Marina Morrow Olena Hankivsky Colleen VarcoeWomen’s Health in Canada considers the challenges relating to the conceptualization of women’s health. While emphasizing the importance of taking an intersectional approach to women’s healthcare, this book also focuses on the social and structural determinants at play. This revised and updated second edition brings together a collection of new chapters and contributors who collectively shed light on the problems and risks involved in perceiving women’s healthcare using a strictly "gender"- or "sex"-based lens. Contributors foreground an understanding of power as it is mediated through a range of social relations based on gender, race, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, ability, class, and geography and the ways in which privilege and oppression intersect to shape health and system responses to health. This new edition includes updates on what is currently known about women’s health nationally and internationally and situates the chapters in the current Canadian health care and policy context. Scholarship is foregrounded in new developments in gender and intersectional health research and policy. Collectively, this volume explores the important histories and contemporary realities in women’s health experiences.

Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times
by Jacques Vallee Chris AubeckOne of the most ambitious works of paranormal investigation of our time, here is an unprecedented compendium of pre-twentieth-century UFO accounts, written with rigor and color by two of today's leading investigators of unexplained phenomena. In the past century, individuals, newspapers, and military agencies have recorded thousands of UFO incidents, giving rise to much speculation about flying saucers, visitors from other planets, and alien abductions. Yet the extraterrestrial phenomenon did not begin in the present era. Far from it. The authors of Wonders in the Sky reveal a thread of vividly rendered-and sometimes strikingly similar- reports of mysterious aerial phenomena from antiquity through the modern age. These accounts often share definite physical features- such as the heat felt and described by witnesses-that have not changed much over the centuries. Indeed, such similarities between ancient and modern sightings are the rule rather than the exception. In Wonders in the Sky, respected researchers Jacques Vallee and Chris Aubeck examine more than 500 selected reports of sightings from biblical-age antiquity through the year 1879-the point at which the Industrial Revolution deeply changed the nature of human society, and the skies began to open to airplanes, dirigibles, rockets, and other opportunities for misinterpretation represented by military prototypes. Using vivid and engaging case studies, and more than seventy-five illustrations, they reveal that unidentified flying objects have had a major impact not only on popular culture but on our history, on our religion, and on the models of the world humanity has formed from deepest antiquity. Sure to become a classic among UFO enthusiasts and other followers of unexplained phenomena, Wonders in the Sky is the most ambitious, broad-reaching, and intelligent analysis ever written on premodern aerial mysteries. .

Word: For Everybody Who Thought Christianity Was for Suckas
by Mykel MitchellGrowing up, Mykel Mitchell found more truth in the words of Run DMC than any preacher's sermon. He saw more prosperity in the lives of local drug dealers than in the lives of neighboring saints. It was only natural that he would gravitate toward hustling. Years later, when "the life" left him empty and he had nothing to lose, he gave Jesus Christ a chance-and he's never looked back. <P> In Word, Mitchell takes us on the personal, moving, and at times, humorous journey that helped him reconcile his faith in Christ, not only with his intellect and instincts-but with his passion for all things hip-hop. In this refreshingly candid take on church doctrine, he addresses questions like "Why does God need my money?" and "What's the big deal with sex anyway?" and explains how he came to rock baggy jeans and sports jerseys right along with his platinum cross and tattered Bible, without shame or apologies.
Words That Free You: What You Say Is What You Become
by Jacques MartelA guide to how the right choice of words can liberate, strengthen, and heal us• Explains how each word carries an energy that increases or decreases our energy level and how our choice of words creates our reality • Offers tables for converting the negative to the positive and shows which words to use to change our lives for the better • Shares healing words in mantras, guided relaxation, and chants as well as a writing technique that brings emotional healing Not only are the words and phrases we use an expression of our innermost thoughts, they also influence our wellbeing and the overall nature of our character. Positive words create a higher vibration and thus a positive experience of life. Words with negative connotations, however, especially if used frequently, create a limiting and possibly self-destructive reality for us, since our brain cannot decide between what is real and what only exists in our imagination. In this easy-to-follow guide, therapist and coach Jacques Martel details how to create a more positive, optimistic, healthy, and happy reality by choosing words filled with freedom, wisdom, and love. The messages we transmit through our words are understood more easily at the level of the heart. Jacques explains how each word we speak or write carries a power that increases or decreases our energy level. Sharing practical communication tools, such as a table to convert words and expressions from the negative to the positive, he reveals which high-vibration words to use to change our lives for the better and explores how to integrate them when speaking with family, friends, coworkers, and in front of an audience for more effective communication. He also shares healing words in mantras, guided relaxation, and chants as well as a writing technique using words that free us to bring emotional healing. When we are more aware of our language, we understand that changing the words we use will transform our reality and our lives. As we become more comfortable communicating how we feel, our words truly become the mirror of our heart and the reflection of our thoughts.
Words at the Threshold: What We Say as We're Nearing Death
by Lisa SmarttWhat Our Last Words Reveal About Life, Death, and the AfterlifeA person’s end-of-life words often take on an eerie significance, giving tantalizing clues about the ultimate fate of the human soul. Until now, however, no author has systematically studied end-of-life communication by using examples from ordinary people. When her father became terminally ill with cancer, author Lisa Smartt began transcribing his conversations and noticed that his personality underwent inexplicable changes. Smartt’s father, once a skeptical man with a secular worldview, developed a deeply spiritual outlook in his final days — a change reflected in his language. Baffled and intrigued, Smartt began to investigate what other people have said while nearing death, collecting more than one hundred case studies through interviews and transcripts. In this groundbreaking and insightful book, Smartt shows how the language of the dying can point the way to a transcendent world beyond our own.

Words of Wisdom: Quotations from One of the World's Foremost Spiritual Teachers
by Ram DassWords of Wisdom is a distillation of the last five decades of Ram Dass&’s life containing the most powerful quotes from his most resonant core teachings. Ram Dass always had a knack for heart-to-heart transmission. Far before he had a vocabulary to describe his spiritual experiences, he was Richard Alpert, a Harvard professor and early experimenter with psychedelics. After these early soul-expanding journeys, he spoke and wrote about his transcendent experiences with the innate, intuitive understanding of a true inner-voyager. Even before Alpert realized that psychedelics weren't the final answer to enlightenment, he was more interested in cultivating a shared heart space with his patients and friends than he was in the clinical, scientific side of psychedelia. Words of Wisdom is a distillation of hundreds of lectures and many hours of audio and video recordings from the last five decades—his core essential teachings. This anthology celebrates the spark that helped to ignite the flame of grace and Loving Awareness in so many hearts. By the end of his life, Ram Dass was a true conduit for soul connection. This anthology celebrates the spark that helped to ignite the flame of grace and Loving Awareness in so many hearts. By the end of his life, Ram Dass was a true conduit for soul connection. Through five decades of teaching in both the institutional and public realms, Dass has served as a leader in spirituality, psychology, and psychedelia, fusing these elements to embody a purposeful intention of love and joy.
