Webster Groves Mal-assombrada
by Patrick Dorsey Luísa Moderno RodriguesTodo mundo já se sentiu inquieto por alguma história assustadora de assombrações e de algum morto sem descanso. Esses espíritos que se recusam a descansar e que continuam a fazer parte da vida das pessoas. Lemos as histórias, assistimos aos filmes e, de vez em quando, nos inclinamos para ouvir a experiência pessoal de alguém com um fantasma. Especialmente quando este alguém mora na casa ao lado. Descubra as histórias horripilantes e os incríveis relatos em primeira mão do fantasmagórico e sobrenatural em uma vizinhança que pode ser bem parecida com a sua. Onde os residentes de uma cidade-dormitório chegam em casa à noite e escutam passos invisíveis; se conformam em ter móveis se movendo, desaparecendo e reaparecendo; convivem com figuras espectrais à espreita e que, de alguma maneira, dividem suas casas com o fantasmagórico e o sobrenatural. A cidade de Webster Groves, no Missouri é um dos primeiros subúrbios residenciais de St. Louis. Um lugar cuja história remonta aos tempos coloniais, passando pela Guerra Civil Americana, até os dias de hoje Alguns dos que viveram nessa época, evidentemente permancem.
Webster Groves infestata: Vere storie agghiaccianti di fantasmi, riportate con racconti di prima mano
by Patrick DorseyTutti siamo stati terrorizzati da storie agghiaccianti di infestazioni e di morti irrequieti, quegli spiriti che si rifiutano di riposare, rimanendo invece a far parte delle vite dei vivi. Abbiamo letto i racconti, visto i film, e di tanto in tanto ci siamo avvicinati per ascoltare l'esperienza personale di qualcuno con un fantasma. Specialmente quando quel qualcuno vive nella casa accanto. Scopri leggende inquietanti e racconti di prima mano inspiegabili di fantasmi e del soprannaturale in un quartiere forse proprio come il tuo, dove i residenti di una tranquilla comunità di periferia tornano a casa la notte per ritrovare dei passi invisibili; si rassegnano a vedere oggetti che si spostano misteriosamente, scomparendo e riapparendo; vivono con figure spettrali che stanno in agguato; o comunque condividono la loro casa con il soprannaturale. Webster Groves, in Missouri, è uno dei primi sobborghi di St. Louis, un posto il cui passato si estende fino all'epoca Coloniale ed attraversa la Guerra Civile fino al giorno d'oggi. Alcuni di quelli che hanno vissuto quella storia sono evidentemente rimasti...

Weekends at Bellevue: Nine Years On The Night Shift At The Psych Er (Playaway Top Adult Picks B Ser.)
by Julie HollandJulie Holland thought she knew what crazy was. Then she came to Bellevue. New York City's Bellevue Hospital, the oldest public hospital in the United States, has a tradition of "serving the underserved" that dates back to 1736. For nine eventful years, Dr. Holland was the weekend physician in charge of Bellevue's psychiatric emergency room, a one-woman front line charged with assessing and treating some of the city's most vulnerable and troubled citizens, its forgotten and forsaken, and its criminally insane. Deciding who gets locked up and who gets talked down would be an awesome responsibility for most people. For Julie Holland, it was just another day at the office. In an absorbing memoir laced with humor, Holland provides an unvarnished look at life in the psych ER, recounting stories from her vast case files that are alternately terrifying, tragically comic, and profoundly moving: the serial killer, the naked man barking like a dog in Times Square, the schizophrenic begging for an injection of club soda to quiet the voices in his head, the subway conductor who watched a young woman pushed into the path of his train. As Holland comes to understand, the degree to which someone can lose his or her mind is infinite, and each patient's pain leaves a mark on her as well---as does the cancer battle of a fellow doctor who is both her best friend and her most trusted mentor. Writing with uncommon candor about her life both inside and outside the hospital, her professional struggles, personal relationships, and the therapy sessions that help her crack the hard shell she's formed to keep the pain at bay, Holland supplies not only a page-turner with all the fast-paced immediacy of a TV medical drama but also a fascinating glimpse into the inner lives of doctors who struggle to maintain perspective in a world where sanity is in the eye of the beholder.

Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice, and the Limits of Capitalism
by Julie GuthmanWeighing In takes on the "obesity epidemic," challenging many widely held assumptions about its causes and consequences. Julie Guthman examines fatness and its relationship to health outcomes to ask if our efforts to prevent "obesity" are sensible, efficacious, or ethical. She also focuses the lens of obesity on the broader food system to understand why we produce cheap, over-processed food, as well as why we eat it. Guthman takes issue with the currently touted remedy to obesity--promoting food that is local, organic, and farm fresh. While such fare may be tastier and grown in more ecologically sustainable ways, this approach can also reinforce class and race inequalities and neglect other possible explanations for the rise in obesity, including environmental toxins. Arguing that ours is a political economy of bulimia--one that promotes consumption while also insisting upon thinness--Guthman offers a complex analysis of our entire economic system.
Weighing the Future: Race, Science, and Pregnancy Trials in the Postgenomic Era (Critical Environments: Nature, Science, and Politics #9)
by Natali ValdezEpigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene expression, has been heralded as one of the most promising new fields of scientific inquiry. Current large-scale studies selectively draw on epigenetics to connect behavioral choices made by pregnant people, such as diet and exercise, to health risks for future generations. As the first ethnography of its kind, Weighing the Future examines the sociopolitical implications of ongoing pregnancy trials in the United States and the United Kingdom, illuminating how processes of scientific knowledge production are linked to capitalism, surveillance, and environmental reproduction. Natali Valdez argues that a focus on individual behavior rather than social environments ignores the vital impacts of systemic racism. The environments we imagine to shape our genes, bodies, and future health are intimately tied to race, gender, and structures of inequality. This groundbreaking book makes the case that science, and how we translate it, is a reproductive project that requires feminist vigilance. Instead of fixating on a future at risk, this book brings attention to the present at stake.
Weighing the Options: Criteria for Evaluating Weight-Management Programs
by Paul R. ThomasNearly one out of every three adults in America is obese and tens of millions of people in the United States are dieting at any one time. This has resulted in a weight-loss industry worth billions of dollars a year and growing. What are the long-term results of weight-loss programs? How can people sort through the many programs available and select one that is right for them? Weighing the Options strives to answer these questions. Despite widespread public concern about weight, few studies have examined the long-term results of weight-loss programs. One reason that evaluating obesity management is difficult is that no other treatment depends so much on an individual's own initiative and state of mind.Now, a distinguished group of experts assembled by the Institute of Medicine addresses this compelling issue. Weighing the Options presents criteria for evaluating treatment programs for obesity and explores what these criteria mean--to health care providers, program designers, researchers, and even overweight people seeking help.In presenting its criteria the authors offer a wealth of information about weight loss: how obesity is on the rise, what types of weight-loss programs are available, how to define obesity, how well we maintain weight loss, and what approaches and practices appear to be most successful.Information about weight-loss programs--their clients, staff qualifications, services, and success rates--necessary to make wise program choices is discussed in detail.The book examines how client demographics and characteristics--including health status, knowledge of weight-loss issues, and attitude toward weight and body image--affect which programs clients choose, how successful they are likely to be with their choices, and what this means for outcome measurement. Short- and long-term safety consequences of weight loss are discussed as well as clinical assessment of individual patients.The authors document the health risks of being overweight, summarizing data indicating that even a small weight loss reduces the risk of disease and depression and increases self-esteem. At the same time, weight loss has been associated with some poor outcomes, and the book discusses the implications for program evaluation.Prevention can be even more important than treatment. In Weighing the Options, programs for population groups, efforts targeted to specific groups at high risk for obesity, and prevention of further weight gain in obese individuals get special attention.This book provides detailed guidance on how the weight-loss industry can improve its programs to help people be more successful at long-term weight loss. And it provides consumers with tips on selecting a program that will improve their chances of permanently losing excess weight.

You get the basic idea.
Weight Gain During Pregnancy: Reexamining the Guidelines
by Institute of Medicine National Research Council of the National AcademiesAs women of childbearing age have become heavier, the trade-off between maternal and child health created by variation in gestational weight gain has become more difficult to reconcile. Weight Gain During Pregnancy responds to the need for a reexamination of the 1990 Institute of Medicine guidelines for weight gain during pregnancy. It builds on the conceptual framework that underscored the 1990 weight gain guidelines and addresses the need to update them through a comprehensive review of the literature and independent analyses of existing databases. The book explores relationships between weight gain during pregnancy and a variety of factors (e.g., the mother's weight and height before pregnancy) and places this in the context of the health of the infant and the mother, presenting specific, updated target ranges for weight gain during pregnancy and guidelines for proper measurement. New features of this book include a specific range of recommended gain for obese women. Weight Gain During Pregnancy is intended to assist practitioners who care for women of childbearing age, policy makers, educators, researchers, and the pregnant women themselves to understand the role of gestational weight gain and to provide them with the tools needed to promote optimal pregnancy outcomes.
Weight Loss Boss: How to Finally Win at Losing--and Take Charge in an Out-of-Control Food World
by David KirchhoffMost diet books claim to give you the recipe for losing weight fast by pushing you to follow a regimen you can't live with. No wonder most people regain the weight they lost within a month. Weight Loss Boss asks us to completely reconceive the way we approach weight loss--by not really dieting at all. It challenges us to make lasting and satisfying changes in our life that allow us to succeed by ... Choosing not to live in deprivation and loving the supremely tasty, nutrient-dense, low-calorie, and satisfying foods that love us right back; Throwing willpower out the window in favor of strategies to create habits and patterns that we can keep forever; Learning to manage our environment so that lasting change becomes automatic, not an endless struggle; Embracing the tools and support that empower us to transform repeated cycles of defeat into a journey of continued success and growth.
Weight Loss Boss: How to Finally Win at Losing--and Take Charge in an Out-of-Control Food World
by David KirchhoffWeight Loss Boss is a frank, funny, and groundbreaking guide to surviving and thriving in an obesogenic world, from the CEO of Weight Watchers International.We live in a dangerous food world, full of temptation and instant gratification. No wonder obesity among Americans has tripled since the 1960s—and that those prone to weight gain fail over and over to maintain their hard-won goals. Simply put, our brains and environments are stacked against us. Simplistic willpower-based and food-focused diets will never bring lasting change. But a solution is within reach—one that will help readers live better, longer, and more happily. In fact, David Kirchhoff isn't just the President and CEO of Weight Watchers—he's also one of its biggest success stories. In his pursuit of a trim physique, Kirchhoff divulges his slide into full-fledged obesity, his struggles to manage his relationship with food, and to find an exercise regimen that sticks. Drawing on the latest scientific research and numerous other inspiring personal stories, he makes the case that the only recipe for long-term success is to radically shift our mindset when thinking about obesity and adopting a healthy lifestyle that stays with us for good. This requires incorporating positive habits that become second nature, and rigorously managing one's food environment—as well as embracing practical behavior-change tools and other sustainable maintenance strategies. In the light of a new, healthier lifestyle that helps readers look good and feel good, change isn't a burden--it's a release.
Weight Loss Forever!: NO FADS. NO DIETS. NO STRESS. GET RESULTS IMMEDIATELY!
by Linda GabrielHow is this program different?What if I told you that it's as important to manage the thoughts you feel yourself as it is to manage the food you eat? What if your physical condition is simply a reflection of your inner world? Perhaps in the past you have managed to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. However if you didn't address the underlying subconscious thoughts that created the problem in the first place, the weight probably returned.As a hypnotherapist I have come to deeply respect the power of the subconscious mind. I believe the root cause of becoming overweight is usually mental, emotional and spiritual, rather than physical. When you change your mind, the body follows automatically. Then you lose weight easily, steadily, seemingly without effort.-Linda Gabriel
