A Alquimia das Ervas: Um Guia para Iniciantes - Conhecendo, cultivando e aplicando ervas medicinais.
by Adidas Wilson Rodrigo BrandaniAo selecionar ervas que consigam se desenvolver excepcionalmente bem, seja em ambientes abertos ou fechados, seja em vasos ou no solo, você deverá ter em mente o que você deseja obter de seu cultivo de ervas e vegetais. Se o espaço destinado ao seu cultivo recebe menos do que cinco horas diárias de luz solar talvez seja melhor plantar suas ervas em um ambiente fechado, e para agua-las e para colhê-las quando for cozinhar usando elas. Aliás, plantar em um ambiente fechado ainda lhe ajudará a ficar livre de ervas daninhas, pragas e variações de temperatura. Sementes são baratas, porém, demoram muito tempo para crescer demandam muitos recursos para fazê-lo. Por outro lado, existem as mudas, que crescem mais rapidamente, porém, geralmente encontram-se disponíveis somente na primavera e no verão. Muitas ferramentas são necessárias para se fazer o trabalho na sua plantação, dentre elas temos: pás, enxadas, luvas, vasos, enfim, tudo o que for necessário para fazer o serviço. Lembre-se de que solo fértil também é um elemento importante, pode-se prepara-lo naturalmente ou compra-lo pronto em lojas especializadas. Caso opte por fazer seu cultivo em um espaço fechado utilizando vasos você pode comprar misturas de adubos prontos, feitos especialmente para este tipo de cultivo, assim não terá problemas para plantar suas ervas, e, além de facilitar seu trabalho, estes adubos prontos também previnem que pragas destruam suas plantas.

A Back and Forth between Tourism and Health: From Medical Tourism to Global Health
by Sebastien FleuretHealth is an often-overlooked issue in the touristic development of territories. However, the recent pandemic linked to Covid-19, by bringing the tourism sector to a halt, has revealed the importance of health issues for this economic sector.This book deals with the interaction between tourism and health in all its facets and offers a complete overview of the subject, the beginnings of which date back to Antiquity. The arguments presented here are based on a back-and-forth approach between tourism studies and health sciences. Various themes are thus addressed, such as health risks, health issues for travellers linked to tourism practices, medical tourism, health mobility and the global processes that accompany it, as well as the impact of tourism development on public health in destinations.A Back and Forth Between Tourism and Health highlights the need to include the health dimension in tourism planning and invites a paradigm shift in thinking about the tourism sector.
A Bad Reaction: A Memoir
by Sarah BridgesA mother’s story of raising an autistic son, navigating the vaccine court, and confronting the widespread denial of a link between vaccines and autism.At four months old, Porter Bridges went in for his well-baby checkup and received an array of vaccines. That night he spiked a 105-degree fever and had a two-hour grand mal seizure. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors struggled to stabilize him while his family paced the halls waiting to hear if he was conscious. Though no one could know it at the time, Porter’s hospitalization marked the start of a terrifying and tragic decline in his health and the health of his family. And while the effects of Porter’s reaction would take years to fully develop, the cause was never in doubt-Porter’s hospital record reads, "Brain injury from pertussis vaccine.”Cognitive dissonance is the psychology term for that queasy feeling we get when things just don’t line up. Here are the facts: Porter is a healthy infant one moment and has brain damage the next. The CDC says vaccines are always safe, but the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program awards Porter’s family millions of dollars to pay for his pertussis injury. The CDC sends a press release saying vaccines never cause autism. That afternoon, government funds pay for Porter’s autism therapy. He goes three times a week.A Bad Reaction is a personal journey-sometimes painful, sometimes funny. It confronts the dissonance between what the government tells us about the vaccine-autism link and its secret payments compensating the vaccine-injured. It tackles broader issues such as individual versus government responsibility, the conflicts of interest in vaccination-safety research, and the balance of individual and collective good. Vaccines hold the special distinction of being the only mandated drugs all children receive and have saved innumerable lives. They also have safety risks. This book is about one of those "negative outcomes.” His name is Porter.Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as villains from history, such as Heinrich Himmler, John Wayne Gacy, and O.

A Better Death: Conversations about the art of living and dying well
by Dr. Ranjana SrivastavaA powerful, timely exploration of the art of living and dying on our own terms by one of Australia’s most respected voices Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: we were all born and we will all die. We don't have a choice in how we enter the world but we can have a say in how we leave it. In order to die well, we must be prepared to contemplate our mortality and to broach it with our loved ones, who are often called upon to make important decisions on our behalf. These are some of the most important conversations we can have with each other - to find peace, kindness and gratitude for what has gone before, and acceptance of what is to come. Dr Ranjana Srivastava draws on two decades of experience to share her observations and advice on leading a meaningful life and finding dignity and composure at the end. With an emphasis on advocacy, leaving a legacy and staying true to our deepest convictions, Srivastava tells stories of strength, hope and resilience in the face of grief and offers an optimistic meditation on approaching the end of life. Intelligent, warm and deeply affecting, A Better Death is a passionate exploration of the art of living and dying well. Dr Ranjana Srivastava OAM is a practising oncologist, award-winning writer, broadcaster and Fulbright scholar. See www.ranjanasrivastava.com
