Product Description: Fifteen to 20 years ago, physicians more or less treated everybody the same way with two or three pills, and that's all they had to offer. The clock was ticking while doctors waited until patients were so sick they needed heart transplants. The medical landscape is completely different today. Now doctors methodically dissect cases of heart failure; they figure out the underlying issues. It's critical to have a proper diagnosis, but it is equally important to determine the cause of heart failure. Not all stories about patients with heart failure have happy endings. But many do. Throughout this book, readers will find case studies about patients who triumphed over their diagnosis. Whether it's the patient, a family member, or a friend confronting heart failure, this book can helps show the way through the diagnosis and treatment.

    Product Description: These never before published teaching stories of the yoga master Swami Kripalu are at once down-to-earth and transcendent. The Swami was fond of telling stories as a way of making his often subtle and surprising points. For example, in a parable about mind control, "The Demanding Daughter," we learn of a young spoiled woman who will only marry on the condition that she can find a husband who will allow her to strike him on the head seven times a day with her shoe. Each story is set off by a particular yoga principle that the Swami illustrates through the story.

    Product Description: The causal point of the things that occur in our everyday experience
    isn t in the actions of others, but within each of us. During our early years, we are imprinted by the emotional condition of those responsible for us. Their emotional state overlays the essence of who we are, so that we learn to behave like them instead of growing up to be ourselves.

    Product Description: Members of the bleeding heart family, such as the well-known Chinese bleeding heart, have long been among the best-loved flowers of the perennial border. In recent years, however, excitement about this group has reached fever pitch with the introduction of dozens of stunning new discoveries, particularly among the genus Corydalis. Super-hardy and adorned with blossoms in a spectrum of jewel-like colors, their popularity has surged to new heights. Despite this fame, however, and the long-standing interest in the bleeding heart family, little has been written about these versatile and easily grown plants until now. This thorough guide for gardeners and botanists covers all the cultivated species, hybrids, and cultivars of Corydalis, Dicentra, and allied genera in the bleeding heart family.

    Product Description:

    This straightforward volume examines today’s health care picture in human and financial terms, focusing on the three leading causes of death in America—cardiovascular disease/stroke, diabetes, and cancer—and four debilitating conditions that confound both patients and professionals—arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and low back pain.

    Morewitz applies current figures and expert future projections to the often-vague concepts of chronically ill patients and associated spiraling costs of care. Composite case studies put a needed human face on these growing populations and their needs. The book’s consistent format and the author’s lucid style make it as accessible as it is clinically useful.

    Up-to-date, real-world coverage for each disease includes:

    - Risk factors, including socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, gender, and age

    - Typical disease processes and psychosocial symptoms

    - Treatment options and rehabilitation outcomes

    - Stress, quality of life issues, and coping strategies

    - The impact of health care disparities on illness and disability

    - Patient education and self-management techniques

    Chronic Disease and Health Care describes the realities of diseases and their treatment with great clarity and insight, to give practitioners better understanding of patient populations and researchers access to critical health areas. In addition, the book is imperative reading for health care administrators involved in resource allocation, program planning, and cost reduction.
