Menopause in Perspective
by Philippa PigacheIncreasing medicalisation of the menopause has left many women feeling unsure and unconfident about this stage of their lives. While doctors may be able to help with some of the more unpleasant symptoms, menopause is a transition rather than a medical condition. Just as menarche ushered in the childbearing years, so menopause heralds the passing of this era in a woman's life; in both cases, the same hormones are making their entry and exit. So why is this hormonal change regarded as a medical event? If drugs are not needed at menarche, why should they be needed at menopause? Is the discomfort that unbearable, and are there other ways to help? This book looks at the options - both what the doctor can offer, and other ways to cope. Topics include: how naturally produced hormones change during the menopause; is it a natural event or historic accident? do you need medical treatment; if so, for which symptoms? is HRT the best thing for you? menopause and your heart and circulation; reducing the risk of cancer; taking care of your bones and skin; sex during and after the menopause; making the most of the rest of your life.

The Politics of Physical Activity (Routledge Research in Physical Activity and Health)
by Joe PigginDefining ‘politics’ as contests over ideas, values and visions about what a physically active society could be, this book uses critical analysis to challenge accepted truths about physical activity and therefore opens up a pathway to more effective, and more socially just, physical activity policy. Critiquing global and national physical activity policies which are arguing for significant change to societies around the world, The Politics of Physical Activity presents empirical case studies to illustrate the political dimensions of advocating for physical activity promotion, including discussions of resourcing difficulties, conflicts of interest and opportunity costs. It explores physical activity as a multi-sectoral tool that is being applied to political ideas and policy goals as varied as education, sustainability and social cohesion, and asks what good physical activity really looks like. This is important and provocative reading for any student, researcher, practitioner or policy maker with an interest in physical activity, public health or public policy.
Routledge Handbook of Physical Activity Policy and Practice (Routledge International Handbooks)
by Joe Piggin Louise Mansfield Mike WeedPhysical activity, inactivity and their relationship to health are serious concerns for governments around the world. This is the first book to critically examine the policy and practice of physical activity from a multi-disciplinary, social-scientific perspective. Moving beyond the usual biophysical and epidemiological approaches, it defines and explores the key themes that are shaping the global physical activity debate. Unrivalled in its scale and scope, it presents the latest data on physical activity from around the world, including case studies from Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia. Drawing on social, economic and behavioural sciences, it covers contexts from the global to the local and introduces the dominant ideas which inform the study of physical activity. Its 41 chapters examine the use of different forms of evidence in policymaking, the role of organisations in advocating physical activity, and the practical realities of public health interventions. The Routledge Handbook of Physical Activity Policy and Practice is a landmark publication for all students, academics, policymakers and practitioners interested in the social-scientific study of sport, exercise, physical activity and public health.

Die rechtliche Zulässigkeit ärztlicher Mitwirkung an verbotenen Kinderwunschbehandlungen im Ausland (MedR Schriftenreihe Medizinrecht)
by Alexander PikalIn dem vorliegenden Buch wird die Zulässigkeit einer ärztlichen Mitwirkung an verbotenen Kinderwunschbehandlungen im Ausland analysiert. Hierfür zeigt der Autor den akuten Forschungsbedarf auf, indem er den Hauptgrund für das reproduktive Reisen in das liberale Ausland identifiziert: die restriktive Rechtslage im Embryonenschutzgesetz. Im Vorfeld der rechtlichen Erörterung werden die für das Verständnis erforderlichen naturwissenschaftlichen Grundlagen ausführlich dargestellt. Daneben erörtert der Autor anhand der aktuellen Rechtslage die Zulässigkeit ausgewählter Verfahren der Kinderwunschbehandlung nach deutschem Recht, etwa die des elektiven Embryo-Transfers. Schwerpunktmäßig wird die Frage geklärt, wie ein in Deutschland praktizierender Arzt im Zusammenhang mit einer nach deutschem Recht verbotenen Kinderwunschbehandlung im Ausland noch mitwirken darf, ohne sich dem Risiko einer Strafbarkeit auszusetzen. Auch die straf- und berufsrechtlichen Konsequenzen eines ärztlichen Fehlverhaltens werden näher beleuchtet.

Fit for Purpose: Your Guide to Better Health, Wellbeing and Living a Meaningful Life
by Richard PileAs a society we have never had so much advantage and yet been so disadvantaged by this very same society which we have built for ourselves, by ignoring our basic needs when it comes to sleep, nutrition, movement, relaxation, relationships and purpose in life. We face a rising tide of physical health problems, such as obesity and diabetes, and mental health issues such as loneliness and depression. Our medical model is a broken, disease-based one which is not fit to meet our needs, particularly when it comes to preventing health and wellbeing problems. Just as secular society is often guilty of dualism when it comes to wellbeing, focusing on the physical but ignoring the spiritual, the faith community may make the same mistake in reverse, focusing on the spiritual whilst ignoring the physical. We need to combine all these different aspects to enjoy true wellbeing and a satisfying life.The book explores what it means to be fit for purpose in life: physically, mentally and spiritually. It describes the problems we face, both individually and as communities, and succinctly summarizes the evidence for the key factors that determine our wellbeing. It lays down a challenge to avoid treating physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing as separate. Using knowledge and experience of the worlds of medicine, behavioral change and Christian faith, Dr. Pile presents real life case studies and provides practical recommendations for making changes whether for ourselves, our faith community or wider society.
Coreografía del caos
by María Luz PilheuEn Coreografía del caos María Luz Pilheu, psicóloga y astróloga, nos cuenta que nunca nos cruzamos con nadie por casualidad. Algunas personas llegan a nuestra vida a destrabar nuestro lado B y otras a conectarnos con nuestra alegría y con el deseo, para así poder conocernos un poco más a nosotros mismos.

Este es un libro en el que se comparten experiencias que marcan momentos claves y reveladores de los temas humanos, de nuestros temas. Cada una de estas experiencias es una invitación a observar la trama como una constelación energética viva que se manifiesta. Esta constelación visibiliza procesos del alma a partir de encuentros y desencuentros que permiten el despliegue del ser, el despliegue de códigos energéticos en nosotros, en los espacios, en nuestras prácticas. Nunca mejor aplicada la frase: Nada es casual. Astrología, danza consciente, constelaciones, amor, deseo, ilusiones, desilusiones, encuentros y desencuentros, exploraciones, revelaciones, descubrimientos, y tanto más. Coreografía del caos es un libro para viajar a las dimensiones más humanas que nos habitan siguiendo el pulso orgánico y vital como guía hacia la autenticidad en nuestro paso por este plano. Las páginas están abiertas para iniciar juntos el viaje.
Living with Florida’s Atlantic Beaches: Coastal Hazards from Amelia Island to Key West
by Orrin H. Pilkey Jr. David M. Bush Norma J. Longo John D. Congleton Kenyon C. Lindeman Deborah F. Pilkey William J. Neal Luciana S. EstevesFrom Amelia Island just south of Georgia to Key West's southern tip, beaches are one of Florida's greatest assets. Yet these beaches are in danger: rapid structural development on a highly erodible coast make them vulnerable to some of nature's greatest storms. The same development that has been driven by the attraction of beautiful beaches and coastal amenities now threatens those very resources. In turn, coastal structures are at risk from sea-level rise, shoreline retreat, winter storms, and hurricanes. Most of the methods for reducing losses associated with storms protect property only in the short term--at a growing cost in dollars and loss of natural habitat in the long term.Living with Florida's Atlantic Beaches is a guide to mitigating or reducing losses of property, human life, and natural resources by living with, rather than just at, the shore. This illustrated volume provides an introduction to coastal processes and geology as well as a brief history of coastal hazards and short-sighted human responses. This is the first volume in the Living with the Shore series to discuss the significant long-term impact of dredge-and-fill beach construction on living marine resources. Guidance is provided for long-term risk reduction in the form of tips on storm-resistant construction and site evaluation; maps for evaluating relative vulnerability to hazards are also included. A brief review of coastal regulations will help property owners understand and navigate the various permit requirements for developing coastal property. Living with Florida's Atlantic Beaches is an invaluable source of information for everyone from the curious beach visitor to the community planner, from the prudent property investor to the decision-making public official.
