Communication Perspectives on HIV/AIDS for the 21st Century (Routledge Communication Series)
by Seth M. Noar Timothy Edgar Vicki S. FreimuthReflecting the current state of research into the communication aspects of HIV/AIDS, this volume explores AIDS-related communication scholarship, moving forward from the 1992 publication AIDS: A Communication Perspective. Editors Timothy Edgar, Seth M. Noar, and Vicki S. Freimuth have developed this up-to-date collection to focus on today’s key communication issues in the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Chapters herein examine the interplay of the messages individuals receive about AIDS at the public level as well as the messages exchanged between individuals at the interpersonal level. Acknowledging how the face of HIV/AIDS has changed since 1992, the volume promotes the perspective that an understanding of effective communication through both mediated and interpersonal channels is essential to winning the continued battle against AIDS. Issues addressed here include: Social stigma associated with the disease, social support and those living with HIV/AIDS, and the current state of HIV testing Parent–child discussions surrounding HIV/AIDS and safer sexual behavior, and cultural sensitivity relating to developing HIV prevention and sex education programs The effectiveness of health campaigns to impact attitudes, norms, and behavior, as well as the current state of entertainment education and its ability to contribute to HIV prevention News media coverage of HIV/AIDS and the impact of the agenda-setting function on public opinion and policy making Health literacy and its importance to the health and well-being of those undergoing HIV treatment. The role of technological innovations, most notably the Internet, used for both prevention interventions as well as risky behavior The volume also includes exemplars that showcase the diversity of approaches to health communication used to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These cases include interpersonal and mass communication mediums; traditional along with new media and technology; research by academics and practitioners; individual as well as community-based approaches; work based in the United States and internationally; and campaigns directed at at-risk, HIV- positive, as well as general populations. With new topics, new contributors, and a broadened scope, this book goes beyond a revision of the 1992 volume to reflect the current state of communication research on HIV/AIDS across key contexts. It is designed for academics, researchers, practitioners, and students in health communication, health psychology, and other areas of AIDS research. As a unique examination of communication research, it makes an indelible contribution to the growing knowledge base of communication approaches to combating HIV/AIDS.

Communication With All Life: Relevations Of An Animal Communicator
by Joan RanquetAlthough Communication with All Life is about animal communication, it isn’t just a how-to book, but a guide that will help you discern how much you’re already exchanging feelings, words, and pictures with your pet. Woven throughout the book are many stories to illustrate and support the theory that animal communication isn’t something that you do or need to learn . . . it just is. By tuning in telepathically, Joan Ranquet has helped thousands of people and animals deepen their connections with each other, resolve behavioral problems, assist in the process of death and dying, and examine issues surrounding illness and accidents. Many of the situations that are dealt with throughout the book are actually people —perception problems rather than stories of an ill-behaved dog, cat, horse, bird, or other pet. Communication with All Life illustrates how to move past the emotional patterns that create unwanted behavior and ultimately demonstrates that animal companions give humans the opportunity to enact leadership and responsibility in their thoughts and feelings to ensure harmony at home.
Communicative Biocapitalism: The Voice of the Patient in Digital Health and the Health Humanities
by Olivia BannerThe Precision Medicine Initiative, Apple’s HealthKit, the FitBit—the booming digital health industry asserts that digital networks, tools, and the scientific endeavors they support will usher in a new era of medicine centered around “the voice of the patient.” But whose “voices” do such tools actually solicit? And through what perspective will those voices be heard? Digital health tools are marketed as neutral devices made to help users take responsibility for their health. Yet digital technologies are not neutral; they are developed from an existing set of assumptions about their potential users and contexts for use, and they reflect dominant ideologies of health, dis/ability, gender, and race. Using patient-networking websites, the Quantified Self, and online breast cancer narratives, Communicative Biocapitalism examines the cultural, technological, economic, and rhetorical logics that shape the “voice of the patient” in digital health to identify how cultural understandings and social locations of race, gender, and disability intertwine with whose voices are elicited and how they are interpreted.

Community-Based Prevention
by David Mclean Sonia Lamont Hans Krueger Dan WilliamsCancer and chronic disease are a rapidly increasing global health burden: according to the Milken Institute, the annual cost to the national US economy of the seven most common chronic conditions will rise to $4.2 trillion by 2023. The data are just as dramatic in Canada, Europe, Australia, and increasingly, in countries in the developing world.

The authors review representative global experiences with community based prevention educators, focusing on the prevention coordination work that can be accomplished within geographical areas ranging from local communities to broader regions. Among the findings they reveal in this book are the fundamental elements of successful Community Based Prevention programs - skilled staff, high-quality evaluation, and sustained investment in prevention efforts.
Como Aprender a Cocinar en un Periquete Incluso si Jamás has hervido un Huevo
by Prasenjeet Kumar CamJamás has hervido un huevo pero quieres aprender el mágico arte de la cocina? Entonces no salgas de casa sin este libro de cocina de supervivencia. Ya sea comidas sanas para los universitarios, o cocinar para una sola persona, o incluso para comer fuera—este es el libro de cocina más simple del mundo que te enseña a como sobrevivir en cualquier situación sin problemas. Lo que hace que este libro sea más efectivo que otros libros de cocina al estilo “Cómo hacer…” es su estructura que sigue un proceso de ”graduación” paso a paso. Especialmente, este libro enseña el concepto de “secuencia y procesamiento paralelo” en la cocina para permitir que las personas con un estilo de vida acelerado preparen una comida de 3-4 platillos en menos de 30 minutos. Este libro es divertido y entretenido para leer, con el autor compartiendo sus propias historias de como torpemente se introdujo en el maravilloso mundo de la cocina, con sabiduría y humor.
Como Cozinhar em um Instante Mesmo se Você Nunca Cozinhou Sequer um Ovo
by Prasenjeet Kumar Patrícia S. C. ChamorroNunca cozinhou um ovo antes, mas deseja aprender a arte mágica de cozinhar? Então não saia de casa sem este Livro de Receitas de Sobrevivência. Este livro, por Prasenjeet Kumar, reconta com inteligência e humor, as experiências autobiográficas do autor em participar de um "ritual de encontrar comida... (e) atrapalhar-se na terra das maravilhas da cozinha em Londres, onde ele buscou por quatro anos a graduação em Direito assim como um diploma no Curso de Práticas Jurídicas. Onde este livro supera outros livos de receita "como fazer" é porque ele não trata nenhuma pergunta como "estúpida demais". Outra característica única é sua abordagem muito lógica e estruturada na qual segue-se um processo de "evolução" passo a passo. Inicia-se com algumas técnicas muito básicas de culinária como quebrar, escalfar, fritar, cozinhar (e descascar, que também é uma habilidade) um ovo, aprende-se como lidar com frango, legumes e verduras, e peixe e depois "evolui-se" para fazer receitas "complicadas" como omelete de queijo, legumes gratinados, frango assado ou sopa francesa de cebola. A ideia de progressão é lógica e quase de senso comum. Por exemplo, assim que cozinhar um ovo, você aprende como fazer um sanduíche de ovo e depois evolui para fazer um sanduíche de ovo grelhado. Da mesma forma, você aprende primeiramente a cozinhar um frango, depois a usar o caldo para fazer sopa de frango com milho doce, e a usar o frango cozido para fazer um frango empanado estilo KFC. Mais singular ainda, o livro ensina o conceito de "sequenciamento e processamento paralelo" para capacitar pessoas ocupadas a criar uma refeição com 3-4 pratos em menos de 30 minutos. O livro é divertido e entretido de ler. As fotografias usadas no livro foram todas tiradas pelo próprio autor, à luz natural, sem usar quaisquer guarnições ou enfeites não comestíveis, dos pratos que foram feitos na cozinha dele. Elas se destinam apena
