Mysteries of the Round Towers: The Subtle Energies of the Stone Structures of Ireland
by Christopher Freeland• Reveals how the round towers were built over the crossing of underground waterways and with every stone in magnetic polarity alignment• Explains how the siting and magnetic properties of the towers energetically enhances the surrounding environment, akin to feng shui and vastu• Presents a guide to the energetic principles behind the creation and purpose of the round towersIn Ireland, and to a lesser extent Scotland, in seemingly unconnected locations, there are more than 60 enigmatic round towers, often 90 feet tall or higher and nearly uniform in their construction. Believed to have been built between the 7th and 10th centuries CE, the Roman Catholic Church long ago laid claim to them. Yet who built them—and why—is completely unknown, and even their date of construction is debatable.Presenting a professional dowser&’s radiesthetic and magnetic analysis of the round towers of Ireland, Christopher Freeland examines previously unexplored yet fundamental facts common to all of the round towers, including geographic orientation, connections to underground waterways, historical records, and the magnetic polarity of the stones themselves. Explaining the basics of radiesthesia, the energetic science of dowsing, the author shows how the locations of the towers have far-reaching ramifications for the health of humans, animals, and plants in their surrounding areas. His in-person examinations reveal how systematic magnetic orientation of the stones in these towers&’ walls, the unusual construction techniques of the unknown architects, and the resulting access to Earth&’s telluric forces further enhance their energetic effects. He explores the types of stone used, speculates how many towers once existed, and firmly debunks the assertion that they were built by the Church.Offering a guide to the creation and purpose of the round towers, Freeland shows that we can once again embrace the ancient wisdom of our ancestors about the flow of energy in the Earth and bring back balance and harmony through understanding Nature&’s alchemy of stone, water, and magnetism.

Near Birth: Contested Values and the Work of Doulas
by Dr. Andrea Lilly FordThis insightful study of contemporary birthing uses the work of doulas to explore the questions raised near birth: What do we value, and how do we navigate those values when they are tangled in conflict? Pregnancy, birthing, and infant care offer a microcosm of cultural debates. In this ethnography of childbearing in Northern California, Andrea Ford examines how people's birthing decisions and experiences relate to and construct the American ideal of the individual through the values of progress, experience, autonomy, equality, authenticity, immunity, and redemption. Both an anthropologist and a doula who has observed and participated in dozens of births, Ford explores how parents, practitioners, activists, laws, technologies, media, and medical institutions shape the politics of care. Near Birth shows that questions about the best way to have a baby concern much more than health procedures. In the answers lie often-unacknowledged claims about what kinds of personhood matter and what ways of living are valued and valuable.
Near-Death Experience in Ancient Civilizations: The Origins of the World's Afterlife Beliefs
by Gregory Shushan• Reveals the powerful influence of near-death experiences (NDEs) on the formation of religious beliefs, mystical literature, and ritual practices• Focuses on the afterlife beliefs of five ancient world regions: Old and Middle Kingdom Egypt, Sumer and Old Babylonian Mesopotamia, Vedic India, pre-Buddhist China, and Maya and Aztec Mesoamerica• Shows how the similarities among afterlife beliefs and their correspondences with NDEs reveal that they both stem from universal truthsTaking readers on a thought-provoking journey into our ancestors&’ beliefs about death, dying, and the afterlife, Gregory Shushan, Ph.D., reveals the powerful influence of near-death experiences (NDEs) on religious beliefs and ritual practices throughout human history. Focusing on five ancient world regions in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and Mesoamerica, Shushan expertly explores each civilization&’s afterlife beliefs. He explains how each of these civilizations developed independently of one another, yet there is a series of similarities among afterlife beliefs too consistent and specific to be mere coincidence. This leads to the profound implication that afterlife beliefs are not entirely invented by cultures: they also stem from universal truths derived from NDEs.Drawing on anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, the author explores how each civilization interpreted NDEs and how afterlife beliefs develop over time. He also explores the metaphysical implications of his discoveries, including what an actual afterlife would look like. Revealing that NDEs have occurred throughout human history, Shushan shows how they continue to influence our understanding of what lies beyond death to this day.

New Perspectives in Health Promotion: Health in All Policies (HiAP)
by Roar AmdamThis important book introduces the Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach to health promotion, not only detailing how policy-making at all levels can foster the right conditions for better public health but also examining the inherent challenges to such an overarching approach.Building on the author’s extensive experience in health promotion planning in both regional and international contexts, the book recognizes those factors which influence public health outside of healthcare services themselves. Addressing these broader social, economic and even cultural issues, it discusses how policy-making between the public and private sectors, as well as local and national government, should be both collaborative and holistic. But the book also reflects upon the key difficulties in integrating multi-sector and multi-level approaches – both top-down and bottom-up policy-making – to create processes that further health equity and empower individuals and communities.Now at the forefront of current thinking in health promotion and health policy, this insightful overview of HiAP will be essential reading for students and researchers across the Health Sciences, specifically Public Health and Social Policy, as well as every practitioner in the field.
New Perspectives on Transparency and Self-Knowledge (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)
by Adam Andreotta Benjamin WinokurIt is natural to think that self-knowledge is gained through introspection, whereby we somehow peer inward and detect our mental states. However, so-called transparency theories emphasize our capacity to peer outward at the world, hence beyond our minds, in the pursuit of self-knowledge. For all their popularity in recent decades, transparency theories have also met with myriad challenges. This volume presents new perspectives on transparency-theoretic approaches to self-knowledge. It addresses many under-explored dimensions of transparency theories and considers their wider implications for epistemology, philosophy of mind, and psychology. Some chapters in this volume aim to deepen our understanding of key themes at the heart of transparency theories, such as the ways in which transparent self-knowledge is properly "first-personal" or "non-alienated". Other chapters offer arguments for extending transparency accounts of self-knowledge to different kinds of mental states and phenomena, such as memory, actions, social groups, and credences. Finally, there are chapters in the volume which discuss interesting relationships between transparency theories, projection, second-order sincerity, and Moore’s Paradox.This book will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and psychology.

Nighttime Breastfeeding: An American Cultural Dilemma (Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality: Social and Cultural Perspectives)
by Cecília TomoriNew parents in the United States are caught between responding to infant needs for closeness and breastfeeding, and cultural and medical norms that emphasize solitary sleep.

In this new edition, the author describes shifting medical guidance that increasingly supports breastfeeding yet remains largely separated from infant sleep guidance. The volume also provides a path towards more equitable approaches to nighttime infant care grounded in reproductive justice.

Occupational Diseases in the Construction Industry (ISSN)
by Imriyas Kamardeen Abid HasanDespite occupational diseases in construction contributing to a significant proportion of fatalities, and permanent and temporary incapacities, they have not gained as much attention as occupational injuries from practitioners and researchers. The research in this book aims to discover occupational diseases that cause fatalities and permanent and temporary incapacities in the construction industry, along with their epidemiological causal mechanisms.Through chapters examining cancers, circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases, nervous system and sense organ diseases, and musculoskeletal diseases, the authors provide new knowledge and insights to help proactively prevent and control these diseases. The research underpinning the development of the book applies empirical analyses of real-world occupational disease data for the construction industry alongside a detailed review and meta-analysis of literature pertinent to risk factors and methods and strategies to prevent and/or control occupational diseases in construction.Knowing the riskiest diseases and occupations for construction workers, along with organisational and personal risk factors, is critical to optimising risk management efforts. This book should be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners in construction management, occupational health and safety, and risk management.

Of My Own Making: A Memoir
by Daria BurkeWe are not defined by our origin stories. We choose who we become. Daria Burke&’s childhood growing up under the shadow of an absent father and a mother debilitated by drug addiction was marked by neglect and poverty. Despite these fractured beginnings, she forges a triumphant path out of Detroit and into fashion&’s C-Suite. After ten years of therapy, she believes her healing journey is complete. When she discovers a photograph of the car accident that she believes altered the course of her early life, Burke is forced to confront the parts of her childhood she had avoided. This discovery sparks a four-year immersion into neuroplasticity, epigenetics, the impact of adverse childhood experiences on early brain development, and ultimately, why some of us remain stuck in past trauma while others experience post-traumatic growth. She dives headfirst into an exploration of her trauma, grappling with the enduring grip of the past on the present and the mind's influence over the body. More than a story of personal triumph, Of My Own Making is a soulful and scientific exploration of the power to shape one's destiny. In facing the stark reality of her past, Burke reminds us that every moment demands a choice, and that we owe it to ourselves to reparent our inner child and reclaim the lives we deserve. Burke&’s lyrical account of a life lived with courage and intention offers an empathetic and hard-won perspective on the nature versus nurture debate and the power of acceptance. Part memoir, part methodology, it is a fearless rallying cry inspiring us to excavate and examine the stories that define our lives. Ultimately, the narratives that we craft with our own hands are the only ones that matter.
