Lo que tu corazón espera de ti: Descubre los 4 pilares para vivir en plena forma con una salud de hierro
Par Dr José Abellán. 2023
Un enfoque integrativo de la salud, con el corazón en el centro, para prevenir las enfermedades y mejorar nuestra calidad…
de vida. El principal motivo por el que enfermamos en la actualidad es que nuestro estilo de vida contradice lo que el cuerpo y el corazón esperan de nosotros: pasamos largas horas sentados, comemos alimentos procesados, sufrimos estrés, ansiedad, insomnio..., vivimos desconectados de nuestra naturaleza y de nuestro entorno. Esta es la raíz de muchas enfermedades, en especial las cardiovasculares, que, según la OMS, están detrás de una de cada tres muertes en el mundo y representan la mayor amenaza para nuestra salud. Y los números no paran de empeorar. En este libro, el cardiólogo José Abellán explica de manera clara y directa la importancia de cuidar la salud de nuestro corazón para evitar enfermedades y tener una vida sana, larga y activa. Con un enfoque centrado en la prevención y la incorporación de hábitos saludables, el autor profundiza en los cuatro pilares de la salud cardiovascular: * No comas, aliméntate* Muévete* Sincronízate con los ritmos del planeta y descansa* Conecta con los demás y con la naturaleza Con Lo que tu corazón espera de ti entenderás, por fin, qué necesita tu cuerpo para estar sano y aprenderás a adecuar tu estilo de vida para gozar de una salud óptima.Toma el control de la situación. Si aprendes a prevenir, no tendrán que curarte. Los expertos opinan:«José ha escrito un libro maravilloso. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti encierra mucho: por qué se produce la enfermedad y, a partir de ahí, cómo debemos alimentarnos, cómo debemos entrenar, cómo debemos sincronizarnos con el planeta y cómo debemos cuidarnos a nosotros y cuidar a los demás. Sácale jugo, aprende y disfrútalo». JORDI CRUZ, chef seis estrellas Michelin «El doctor Abellán defiende la alimentación y su poder antiinflamatorio como base para la prevención de enfermedades; en su libro desmiente de forma sencilla los principales mitos de la alimentación y su efecto en la salud cardiovascular».BLANCA GARCÍA-OREA, nutricionista, autora de Dime qué comes y te diré qué bacterias tienes «El doctor Abellán consigue transmitir los fundamentos que explican por qué el ejercicio físico y la alimentación son vitales para la salud de tu corazón. Además, explica otros factores relevantes en la salud cardiovascular, como, por ejemplo, la conexión social o el estrés. Un libro asequible y claro para mejorar tu salud plena».ISMAEL GALANCHO, nutricionista, autor de Quema tu dieta«En este libro, el doctor Abellán transmite, con un lenguaje muy sencillo y directo, lo importante que es para el corazón sincronizar tus relojes internos con los ciclos del planeta. Con su lectura aprenderás que la salud se trabaja y se gana día a día, y entenderás por qué descansar adecuadamente es uno de los pilares de una vida sana».JUAN ANTONIO MADRID, investigador experto en cronobiología, autor de Cronobiología. Una guía para descubrir tu reloj biológico «En esta época de confrontación, el doctor Abellán muestra de manera muy clara la importancia de cuidarnos, mimar nuestras relaciones con los demás y huir del estrés crónico para gozar de buena salud. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti es, en cierto modo, una delicada manera de tomar consciencia».Coronel PEDRO BAÑOS, especialista en geoestrategia y defensa, autor de Así se domina el mundoStories on a String: The Brazilian Literatura de Cordel

Par Rudolf Carnap, W. V. Quine. 2023
Rudolf Carnap and W. V. Quine, two of the twentieth century's most important philosophers, corresponded at length—and over a long…
period of time—on matters personal, professional, and philosophical. Their friendship encompassed issues and disagreements that go to the heart of contemporary philosophic discussions. Carnap (1891-1970) was a founder and leader of the logical positivist school. The younger Quine (1908-) began as his staunch admirer but diverged from him increasingly over questions in the analysis of meaning and the justification of belief. That they remained close, relishing their differences through years of correspondence, shows their stature both as thinkers and as friends. The letters are presented here, in full, for the first time.The substantial introduction by Richard Creath offers a lively overview of Carnap's and Quine's careers and backgrounds, allowing the nonspecialist to see their writings in historical and intellectual perspective. Creath also provides a judicious analysis of the philosophical divide between them, showing how deep the issues cut into the discipline, and how to a large extent they remain unresolved.Understanding Heart Disease
Par Arthur Selzer. 2023
Diseases of the heart are the leading cause of death in the Western world. Health professionals and the general public…
alike eagerly watch advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease. Yet the more spectacular aspects of medical progress in the field are often reported prematurely and their potential benefits exaggerated. Written in clear, accessible language, this book presents an authoritative and balanced picture of how heart diseases are recognized and managed. From his many years of experience, Dr. Selzer believes a well-informed patient can cooperate more successfully with a physician, and his book includes information vital to anyone confronting heart problems and cardiac emergencies.

Par Maria Sabina. 2003
A shaman and visionary—not a poet in any ordinary sense—María Sabina lived out her life in the Oaxacan mountain village…
of Huautla de Jiménez, and yet her words, always sung or spoken, have carried far and wide, a principal instance and a powerful reminder of how poetry can arise in a context far removed from literature as such. Seeking cures through language—with the help of Psilocybe mushrooms, said to be the source of language itself—she was, as Henry Munn describes her, "a genius [who] emerges from the soil of the communal, religious-therapeutic folk poetry of a native Mexican campesino people." She may also have been, in the words of the Mexican poet Homero Aridjis, "the greatest visionary poet in twentieth-century Latin America." These selections include a generous presentation from Sabina's recorded chants and a complete English translation of her oral autobiography, her vida, as written and arranged in her native language by her fellow Mazatec Alvaro Estrada. Accompanying essays and poems include an introduction to "The Life of María Sabina" by Estrada, an early description of a nighttime "mushroom velada" by the ethnomycologist R. Gordon Wasson, an essay by Henry Munn relating the language of Sabina's chants to those of other Mazatec shamans, and more.The Making of a Social Disease: Tuberculosis in Nineteenth-Century France
Par David S. Barnes. 2023
In this first English-language study of popular and scientific responses to tuberculosis in nineteenth-century France, David Barnes provides a much-needed…
historical perspective on a disease that is making an alarming comeback in the United States and Europe. Barnes argues that French perceptions of the disease—ranging from the early romantic image of a consumptive woman to the later view of a scourge spread by the poor—owed more to the power structures of nineteenth-century society than to medical science. By 1900, the war against tuberculosis had become a war against the dirty habits of the working class.Lucid and original, Barnes's study broadens our understanding of how and why societies assign moral meanings to deadly diseases.Walt Whitman and the Civil War: America’s Poet during the Lost Years of 1860-1862
Par Ted Genoways. 2023
Shortly after the third edition of Leaves of Grass was published, in 1860, Walt Whitman seemed to drop off the…
literary map, not to emerge again until his brother George was wounded at Fredericksburg two and a half years later. Past critics have tended to read this silence as evidence of Whitman's indifference to the Civil War during its critical early months. In this penetrating, original, and beautifully written book, Ted Genoways reconstructs those forgotten years—locating Whitman directly through unpublished letters and never-before-seen manuscripts, as well as mapping his associations through rare period newspapers and magazines in which he published. Genoways's account fills a major gap in Whitman's biography and debunks the myth that Whitman was unaffected by the country's march to war. Instead, Walt Whitman and the Civil War reveals the poet's active participation in the early Civil War period and elucidates his shock at the horrors of war months before his legendary journey to Fredericksburg, correcting in part the poet's famous assertion that the "real war will never get in the books."The Psychodynamics of Medical Practice: Unconscious Factors in Patient Care

Par David B. Morris. 2023
We become ill in ways our parents and grandparents did not, with diseases unheard of and treatments undreamed of by…
them. Illness has changed in the postmodern era—roughly the period since World War II—as dramatically as technology, transportation, and the texture of everyday life. Exploring these changes, David B. Morris tells the fascinating story, or stories, of what goes into making the postmodern experience of illness different, perhaps unique. Even as he decries the overuse and misuse of the term "postmodern," Morris shows how brightly ideas of illness, health, and postmodernism illuminate one another in late-twentieth-century culture.Modern medicine traditionally separates disease—an objectively verified disorder—from illness—a patient's subjective experience. Postmodern medicine, Morris says, can make no such clean distinction; instead, it demands a biocultural model, situating illness at the crossroads of biology and culture. Maladies such as chronic fatigue syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder signal our awareness that there are biocultural ways of being sick.The biocultural vision of illness not only blurs old boundaries but also offers a new and infinitely promising arena for investigating both biology and culture. In many ways Illness and Culture in the Postmodern Age leads us to understand our experience of the world differently.This Is Not a Pipe (Quantum Books #24)
Par Michel Foucault. 1983
What does it mean to write "This is not a pipe" across a bluntly literal painting of a pipe? René…
Magritte's famous canvas provides the starting point for a delightful homage by French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault. Much better known for his incisive and mordant explorations of power and social exclusion, Foucault here assumes a more playful stance. By exploring the nuances and ambiguities of Magritte's visual critique of language, he finds the painter less removed than previously thought from the pioneers of modern abstraction.Unlike most infertility books that focus on medical treatment, Healing the Infertile Family examines the social and emotional problems experienced…

Par Victor Richards. 2023
This book presents in lucid and concise terms the main facts known today about cancer. It is directed to laymen…
filling to make a modest effort to understand the biology of cells, and to many doctors and scientists who do not specialize in the study of cancer. The author combines a scientific and humanistic approach to the subject in an effort to temper the cold facts of science with personal concern for patients and their families. Cancer: The Wayward Cell answers, insofar as possible, the questions most often asked about cancer. It is divided into four major parts (1) the biology of the cell, including a discussion of normal and abnormal growth; (2) the history, ecology, and environmental origins of cancer; (3) current methods of treatment of cancer; and (4) the psychological and social problems relevant to this perplexing disorder. Throughout the book new attempts to apply research advances to the problem of cancer are analyzed, with particular emphasis on prevention, control, and treatment.

Par Judith Steinberg Turiel. 2023
Beyond Second Opinions is both an exposé of the risks, errors, and distortions surrounding fertility medicine and an authoritative guide…
for people seeking treatment. Accessible, comprehensive, and extremely well-informed, this book takes the reader beyond hype to the hard data on diagnoses and treatments. Judith Steinberg Turiel, a consumer health activist and herself a veteran of fertility treatments, uses the most up-to-date medical literature to shed new light on difficult decisions patients face today and on reproductive questions society must begin to address now. Those who are seeking a more balanced perspective to help them make better, more informed decisions will find a wealth of information about current reproductive interventions—from simple fertility pills to dazzling experimental options—as well as a discussion of the non-medical forces (economic and political) that shape an individual's treatment choices and reproductive outcomes. Despite quantities of information showered upon patients, they remain woefully misinformed; some fertility treatments may actually reduce chances for a successful pregnancy and threaten a patient's health. Turiel looks beyond surface claims to the real information, often uncovering counterintuitive findings and sometimes scandalous revelations. She exposes a realm of unregulated expansion, unscientific experimentation, and recent scandal over stolen embryos. Weaving together first-hand accounts, compelling stories, a range of scientific information, and lively anecdotes, Turiel addresses the persistent gulfs that separate medical professionals and health care consumers. In the process she arms laypeople with what they might not learn about infertility practices from doctors, patient education brochures, and the newspaper.
