Glaucoma: A Guide from Dr. Harry Quigley
by Harry QuigleyIf you or a member of your family has been told that you have glaucoma, or, if you have glaucoma and want to be sure that the treatment you're receiving is right for you, this patient-oriented guide was designed to answer the many questions you may have. The guide gives authoritative answers, easily understood explanations, helpful suggestions, and life-style advice. It won't matter if you are not a medical specialist, since it is written in plain English. Most glaucoma patients retain good vision and live a normal life. The solutions given can take the stress out of dealing with glaucoma and should maximize the chance that no further injury to your ability to see will occur. There is good evidence that patients who try to learn more about their medical care do better in the long run. The author is Dr. Harry A. Quigley, Director of the Glaucoma Center of Excellence of the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He has 40 years' experience caring for glaucoma, researching its treatments, and has performed 10,000 medical and surgical procedures for this disease. His 350 published papers on glaucoma represent the work that is most quoted by other eye doctors in the last 30 years. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the premier vision research journal, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. No other living ophthalmologist has received the Friedenwald Award (ARVO), the Doyne Medal (Oxford Ophthalmological Congress), the Jackson Lectureship (AAO), and the American Glaucoma Society Lectureship. The guide has quick "Take Home" summaries at the start of each section with the most important information. For those wishing to know much more, detailed explanations, drawings and photographs follow. The sections are designed to answer the questions that patients ask, as well as the questions that they should have asked. For those who know little about their glaucoma, it begins with a simple introduction to the disease. However, those who want in depth information will find discussions of how the disease is diagnosed, what the treatment options are, and how to live a normal life with glaucoma. There are not perfect answers to every question about glaucoma. Where there is controversy, the different sides of the issue are presented to help you and your doctor to make the better choice. There is consideration given to alternative approaches to therapy. There is no cure for glaucoma, and we cannot yet restore vision once it is lost. The guide presents ways to continue life at a high level, whatever the stage of glaucoma.

Gli Angeli di Wakán Tanka: una ternera storia per capire la relazione tra uomo e cane
by Orlando EijoOrlando Eijo ci offre un nuovo modo di comprendere il rapporto tra uomo e cane, e con esso la nostra stessa natura di esseri umani, sia sotto l’aspetto biologico che spirituale. Questa volta è attraverso una tenera storia che lascerà nel lettore la sensazione di una deliziosa brezza primaverile. Francisco, un uomo vedovo desideroso di dare sempre di più, è appena andato in pensione dopo aver lavorato tutta la vita. Con i figli ormai indipendenti, la sua casa solitaria diventa una prigione silenziosa che lo deprime. I figli decidono così di regalargli un cucciolo di border collie per fargli compagnia. Questo cucciolo lo porterà ad iniziare una nuova attività, il disc dog, approfondendolo al punto di incontrare il volto spirituale e profondo della relazione tra uomo e cane sin dal suo inizio quando, secondo la leggenda Sioux, fu il Grande Spirito, Wakán Tanka , che inviò i lupi come suoi angeli per aiutare l'essere umano a percorrere questo passaggio della vita. Con le profonde conversazioni di Francisco con suo figlio Jorge, psicologo, il lettore troverà l’opportunità di apprendere concetti di psicologia canina e umana in un modo chiaro e bello, non solo comprendendo i nostri comportamenti, ma approfondendo l'amore per la vita come il Grande Spirito volle insegnare con i suoi inviati a quattro zampe. Il piccolo border collie porterà grandi cambiamenti nella vita di Francisco e in quella di altri personaggi della storia, una storia che il lettore divorerà dall'inizio alla fine avidamente e senza sforzo. Recensioni Il consacrato poeta, narratore, critico, insegnante alle Università di Belgrado, Lubiana e Venezia, Octavio Prenz, scrisse da Trieste (Italia) su questa prima opera narrativa di Eijo "la sorpresa è stata più che piacevole, perché sa raccontare con una prosa fluida che suscita l'interesse del lettore e lo invita a continuare a leggere. Mi ha fatto scoprire cose che ignoravo e che arricchiscono, (Orlando Eij

Glimpses of the Devil: A Psychiatrist's Personal Accounts of Possession, Exorcism, and Redemption
by M. Scott PeckThe legendary bestselling author and renowned psychiatrist M. Scott Peck, whose books have sold over 14 million copies, reveals the amazing true story of his work as an exorcist -- kept secret for more than twenty-five years -- in two profoundly human stories of satanic possession. In the tradition of his million-copy bestseller People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil, Scott Peck's new book offers the first complete account of exorcism and possession by a modern psychiatrist in this extraordinary personal narrative of his efforts to heal patients suffering from demonic and satanic possession. For the first time, Dr. Peck discusses his experience in conducting exorcisms, sharing the spellbinding details of his two major cases: one a moving testament to his healing abilities, and the other a perilous and ultimately unsuccessful struggle against darkness and evil. Twenty-seven-year-old Jersey was of average intelligence; a caring and devoted wife and mother to her husband and two young daughters, she had no history of mental illness. Beccah, in her mid-forties and with a superior intellect, had suffered from profound depression throughout her life, choosing to remain in an abusive relationship with her husband, one dominated by distrust and greed. Until the day Dr. Peck first met the young woman called Jersey, he did not believe in the devil. In fact, as a mature, highly experienced psychiatrist, he expected that this case would resolve his ongoing effort to prove to himself, as scientifically as possible, that there were absolutely no grounds for such beliefs. Yet what he discovered could not be explained away simply as madness or by any standard clinical diagnosis. Through a series of unanticipated events, Dr. Peck found himself thrust into the role of exorcist, and his desire to treat and help Jersey led him down a path of blurred boundaries between science and religion. Once there, he came face-to-face with deeply entrenched evil and ultimately witnessed the overwhelming healing power of love. In Glimpses of the Devil, Dr. Peck's celebrated gift for integrating psychiatry and religion is demonstrated yet again as he recounts his journey from skepticism to eventual acknowledgment of the reality of an evil spirit, even at the risk of being shunned by the medical establishment. In the process, he also finds himself compelled to confront the larger paradox of free will, of a commitment to goodness versus enslavement to the forms of evil, and the monumental clash of forces that endangers both sanity and the soul. Glimpses of the Devil is unquestionably among Scott Peck's most powerful, scrupulously written, and important books in many years. At once deeply sensitive and intensely chilling, it takes a clear-eyed look at one of the most mysterious and misunderstood areas of human experience.

The Global War on Tobacco: Mapping the World's First Public Health Treaty
by Heather WipfliThe first in-depth review of the World Health Organization’s groundbreaking Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.The tobacco industry has capitalized on numerous elements of globalization—including trade liberalization, foreign direct investment, and global communications—to expand into countries where effective tobacco control programs are not in place. As a consequence, tobacco is currently the leading cause of preventable death in the world. Each year, it kills more people than HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. Amid evidence of an emerging pandemic, a committed group of public health professionals and institutions sought in the mid-1990s to challenge the tobacco industry’s expansion by negotiating a binding international law under the auspices of the World Health Organization. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)—the first collective global response to the causation of avoidable chronic disease—was one of the most quickly ratified treaties in United Nations history. In The Global War on Tobacco, Heather Wipfli tells the engaging story of the FCTC, from its start as an unlikely civil society proposal to its enactment in 178 countries as of June 2014. Wipfli also reveals how globalization offers anti-tobacco advocates significant cooperative opportunities to share knowledge and address cross-border public health problems.The book—the first to delve deeply into the origin and development of the FCTC—seeks to advance understanding of how non-state actors, transnational networks, and international institutionalization can impact global governance for health. Case studies from a variety of diverse high-, middle-, and low-income countries provide real-world examples of the success or failure of tobacco control. Aimed at public health professionals and students, The Global War on Tobacco is a fascinating look at how international relations is changing to respond to the modern global marketplace and protect human health.
Globality
by Harold L. Sirkin James W. Hemerling Arindam K. BhattacharyaGlobality primarily involves large western corporations expanding their operations and moving aggressively into new overseas markets. GLOBALITY radically defines a 'post-globalization' world, where companies from India, China, Russia, eastern Europe, Brazil and Mexico are expanding beyond their home base, entering and building new markets, creating whole industries, and competing for customers, resources, market share and attention. In short, the tide has turned. As a result, western companies need to understand these emerging new businesses and the economies they come from in order to stay ahead and stay alive.

Gloria: ¿QuÉ quieres decir?
by DR Pensacola H. Jefferson¿Qué es la SANTA GLORIA de Dios en este versículo? La SANTA GLORIA de Dios encarna TODAS las manifestaciones de su SANTA presencia atestiguada en sus SANTAS BONDADURAS, sus SANTOS BUENOS HECHOS / PODER, y su SANTO NOMBRE que lo distingue de TODOS los demás dioses falsos. “… Tú (Dios) eres BUENO y haces BIEN (bondad santa)…” (Salmo 119: 68 KJV). “… Cuenta Su gloria entre las naciones, Sus maravillas (santas) entre todos los pueblos…” (1 Crónicas 16:24 LBLA). “… Gloria en su santo nombre…” (1 Crónicas 16:10 NASB). Cuando era niño, le decían que no mirara directamente al sol. Si mira al sol a simple vista, el daño a la retina es irreversible. La SANTA GLORIA de Dios es más brillante que la del sol. “… Y la ciudad no tenía necesidad de sol… porque la (santa) gloria de Dios la iluminaba…” (Apocalipsis 21:23 RV). LA SANTA GLORIA de Dios se manifiesta a través de sus creaciones. Su SANTA GLORIA por sí sola está tan APARTE del PECADO y TAN PURA que es como una luz cegadora y transparente que es demasiado brillante para el ojo humano desnudo. “… Resplandeció con la GLORIA de Dios, y su resplandor era como el de una joya preciosa, como un jaspe, claro como el cristal…” (Apocalipsis 21:11 NVI). En Éxodo, "... Moisés dijo," ... muéstrame tu gloria ". ... El Señor dijo ... "no puedes ver mi rostro, porque nadie puede verme y vivir". … Cuando pase mi GLORIA, yo… te cubriré con mi mano hasta que haya pasado… ”(Éxodo 33: 16-23 NVI).

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.&” (ESV)
