Wie Patienten ticken? Wie Konsumenten handeln!: Strategische Überlegungen für eine wirkungsvolle Gesundheitskommunikation
by Klaus HubatkaSind Patienten inzwischen Konsumenten? Dieser Frage mit ihren Konsequenzen für die Gesundheitskommunikation geht dieses Fachbuch nach. Einleitend wird das aktuelle Konsumverhalten – als nicht rational handelnder Mensch – allgemein analysiert. Es folgt eine Analyse des Marktes im Gesundheitsbereich und seiner weiteren Entwicklung im Vergleich zum allgemeinen Markt, um entsprechende Analogien festzustellen. Nach einer Darstellung der in den letzten Jahren sich verändernden Patientenrolle werden die empirischen Ergebnisse des neuen Patientenverhaltens – auf Basis von Forschungsarbeiten des Autors – präsentiert. Im Rahmen einer analytischen Betrachtung der Patienten als Konsumenten werden die konkreten Veränderungen aufgezeigt und im Konsum-Modell schlüssig erläutert. Daraus ableitend werden neue wirkungsorientierte Ansätze für Aktionen und Interventionen im Gesundheitsbereich vorgestellt und Ausblicke in die Zukunft eines Gesundheitsmarktes gegeben, in dem der selbstbestimmte Patient als internationaler Konsument agiert. Dieses Buch ist wegweisend für alle, die Konzepte für eine zukunftsorientierte Gesundheitskommunikation entwickeln und umsetzen wollen. Besondere Bedeutung erhalten die behandelten Themen durch die aktuelle gesellschaftliche Relevanz von Gesundheitsvorsorge, Prävention und konkret auch von Impfverhalten (von Konsumenten).

These captivating stories feature American men, love-starved and striving, who try and often fail to connect with the women they imagine could be their wives.

In “Bill,” a trip to a flea market highlights the essential differences between a man and his fiancée. Throughout this thoroughly entertaining read, Wingate’s sympathetic characterizations reveal both the hopefulness and the heartache behind our earnest but sometimes misguided attempts at intimacy.

Wikipenis: Dr. Nicola's Penis Book—Maintenance, Prevention, and Care
by Dr. Nicola Mondaini Patrizia PreziosoA taboo-breaking guide to the male sexual and urinary system, raising awareness of anatomy, upkeep, and the emergencies that can occur throughout a lifetime. When it comes to men and their medical health, age can lead to a distressing lack of discussion. Boyhood curiosity gives way to reticence in adult men, a discomfort in asking questions and sharing insecurities about their own bodies—especially when it comes to the penis. Though highly focused on in art, daily conversations, and even spam emails, the general public&’s knowledge of the form, function, and evolution of the penis is sorely lacking. This knowledge gap is the inspiration for Wikipenis. With this book, urologist Nicola Mondaini offers men and the women in their lives—mothers, grandmothers, girlfriends, and wives—a learning tool for the healthy and correct care of the male genital system. Four chapters cover childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Readers can flip to relevant sections to learn about maintenance, diseases, and hazards related to each stage of development. A comprehensive and authoritative handbook, Wikipenis includes information on: Penis structure and function Circumcision and hygiene Effects of smoking, drugs, alcohol consumption, and obesity Sexually transmitted diseases Erectile dysfunction Prostate pathologies Penile cancer Gender dysphoria Piercings Testosterone And more Wikipenis aims to establish a preventative culture from the start, to redesign the relationship between boys and this part of their body—a user&’s guide that men can consult whenever necessary for a happy and healthy life. &“A valuable addition to the world&’s literature on this important topic.&” —John P. Mulhall, Director of Male Sexual and Reproductive Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

The Wild and the Toxic: American Environmentalism and the Politics of Health
by Jennifer ThomsonHealth figures centrally in late twentieth-century environmental activism. There are many competing claims about the health of ecosystems, the health of the planet, and the health of humans, yet there is little agreement among the likes of D.C. lobbyists, grassroots organizers, eco-anarchist collectives, and science-based advocacy organizations about whose health matters most, or what health even means. In this book, Jennifer Thomson untangles the complex web of political, social, and intellectual developments that gave rise to the multiplicity of claims and concerns about environmental health. Thomson traces four strands of activism from the 1970s to the present: the environmental lobby, environmental justice groups, radical environmentalism and bioregionalism, and climate justice activism. By focusing on health, environmentalists were empowered to intervene in the rise of neoliberalism, the erosion of the regulatory state, and the decimation of mass-based progressive politics. Yet, as this book reveals, an individualist definition of health ultimately won out over more communal understandings. Considering this turn from collective solidarity toward individual health helps explain the near paralysis of collective action in the face of planetary disaster.
