For each chapter in the text, the web study guide supplies readers with an introductory self-assessment activity on the chapter’s topic; application and learning activities; self-reflection writing prompts to help students process the chapter’s content; suggested websites and readings for further exploration of the topic; and an interactive key terms quiz. (The web study guide is included with all new print books and some ebooks. For ebook formats that don’t provide access, the web study guide is available separately.)Christian Paths to Health and Wellness offers instructors free access to online ancillaries, including an instructor guide, a presentation package, and a test package. “This text,” says coauthor Peter Walters, “is a book about accepting our God-given roles and capacities. Then empowered by the Spirit of God, we can make healthy choices regarding our mind, body, and soul. The end result is what ancients called ‘the good life,’ current academics call ‘human flourishing,’ and what scriptures call ‘shalom’.” “Personal wellness is often achieved through mental and physical discipline,” adds coauthor John Byl. “However, it is also important to open yourself to the power of God through the Holy Spirit. It is written in Bible that ‘the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control’ (Galatians 5:22–23). Ideas related to the fruit of the Spirit have been woven through the text, and a couple of chapters offer brief vignettes on a particular fruit of the Spirit, which demonstrates how the Spirit heals and makes one well.”Christian Paths to Health and Wellness, Third Edition, will equip students with the knowledge and tools they need to adopt healthy lifestyles in all aspects of their lives. And that lifestyle will be pleasing to God and help them live out their purpose.Table of ContentsPart I. Understanding Your Wellness and MissionChapter 1.

Lexington Books Chiropractic Medicine
Book SynopsisFrom its very beginning, chiropractic medicine has faced challenges about the scientific validity of the treatment and the credibility of its practitioners. Since those early years, many of these criticisms have remained, but legislation, licensure, and litigation have created an environment where chiropractic care is allowed in all 50 states, and licenses are required of all chiropractors who wish to practice medicine.The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has changed the way insurance companies provide reimbursement for services by medical providers. With a greater emphasis on administratively documenting how and in what ways a particular form of treatment actually improves a patient's health, coupled with a greater level of restriction on the types of services medical providers can offer without justification and authorization, many medical providers, including chiropractors, have had to re-examine the services they provide and how they operate.This study attempts to explore Trade ReviewBased on the existing research literature and empirical evaluation, this book sheds light on an industry that has long existed in the shadows. It answers questions that many of us have asked, and in doing so is an extremely useful work that should be read by anyone considering chiropractic treatment and others interested in better understanding health care. McNamara’s research-based approach is refreshing as he overcomes various obstacles in assembling a comprehensive account of an industry that has operated without much scrutiny. -- Ronald Burns, Texas Christian UniversityMcNamara is a fine story teller, and in many ways, gives us a wealth of information on the scientific merits of chiropractic medicine. Even though we are left at times distressed by some of the findings, the book is compulsively engaging. McNamara writes with lucidity, passion, and keen knowledge; he engages our collective conscience in a way that helps us understand the world of chiropractic medicine. This book is a dynamic study of a relatively unknown profession. -- Terry Williams, The New SchoolTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Chapter One: Introduction and Methods Chapter Two: History of Chiropractic Medicine Chapter Three: The Cast and Setting Chapter Four: Scope of Practice Chapter Five: The Joint Chapter Six: Chiropractic Colleges Chapter Seven: Health Care Reform Chapter Eight: Conclusion

Hachette Children's Group What is Consent? Why is it Important? And Other
Book SynopsisWhat is consent? Why does it matter? How does it affect our daily lives? Why is it such a grey area, sometimes? The concept of consent is easy to oversimplify - yes means yes, and no means no. Often, though, it isn't that black and white. Have you ever said 'yes' to something when, really, you wanted to say 'no'? Or have you ever tried to convince someone to do something they don't want to? What is Consent? explores how consent works, and why it matters. It explains how consent plays a part in almost every interaction or relationship we have, and how it affects almost every area of life, from healthcare to the law. The book encourages children to think about what consent means to them, and about the importance of personal boundaries - both knowing your own, and respecting other people's. It talks about how to say no, and what to do if you feel your consent has been violated. The book also includes contributions from people such as David Bartlett, chief executive of the White Ribbon campaign, and Zara Todd, a youth worker and activist, about what consent means to them.Broad and far-reaching, and simultaenously gentle and accessible, this is an important book, vital for giving young readers the necessary understanding to build and develop healthy relationships.Trade ReviewIn a clear straightforward manner, this book explores how consent works, and why it matters * Parents in Touch *Well written and an excellent starting point for further discussion * Parents in Touch *Table of Contents 1: Introducing consent 2: What is consent? 3: My views on consent: Yas Necati 4: My views on consent: Louise Spilsbury 5: Your body, your choice 6: My views on consent: Zara Todd 7: Under pressure 8: My views on consent 9: Recognising consent 10: My views on consent: David Bartlett 11: Types of consent 12: My views on consent: Hibo Wardere 13: Consent and the law 14: My views on consent: Jack Fletcher 15: What if I didn't consent? 16: What do you think? 17: Useful information 18: Glossary

Hachette Children's Group Doing It: Let's Talk About Sex...
Book SynopsisBook of the Year at the Summer in the City Awards 2017Sexting. Virginity. Consent. The Big O ... Let's face it, doing it can be tricksy. I don't know anyone (including myself) who has sex all figured out. So I've written a book full of honest, hilarious (and sometimes awkward) anecdotes, confessions and revelations. And because none of us have all the answers, I've invited some friends and fellow YouTubers to talk about their sexuality, too.

Turner Publishing Company EndoMEtriosis: A Guide for Girls
Book SynopsisFrom the award-winning Dr. Tamer Seckin comes a book written for all of the Endo Warriors out there, from the thirteen-year-old girl who is being told that her pain is “part of becoming a women,” to the woman who has been misdiagnosed for decades—and needs to know she is not alone. Every girl has the right to be pain-free. To live the life they want to live. The journey toward new and happy lives for young women begins now! Endometriosis is a physically and mentally debilitating disease that has tortured women for centuries. It currently affects 176 million of childbearing age worldwide, including one in ten in the U.S. Despite those startling statistics, this horrific and incurable ailment is still relatively unknown to the general population and medical professionals alike. Symptoms of heavy periods and excruciating pain most often begin in middle school or high school, yet doctors take an average of twelve years to diagnose it in a patient. As a result, these undiagnosed and misdiagnosed women suffer into at least their mid-twenties or early thirties, repeatedly told that the pain is in their minds, that it’s simply part of becoming a woman, or that it’s caused by some other disease or condition. That nonsense must stop, and it must stop now! This book will explain what endo is in terms that adolescents can understand, along with potential remedies, treatments to avoid, and how to manage the psychological and social effects of the disease. It will also include riveting stories from women in their teens and mid-twenties, and from those closest to them such as mothers, fathers, teachers, and coaches. One of the most terrifying aspects of having endo is feeling like nobody believes the pain is real or severe, which can cause a woman to feel scared, isolated, and depressed. This book will fully arm her with the truth and knowledge about the disease so that she can overcome her fears and confidently advocate for herself. If her cry for help has been dismissed by anyone, she will be able to educate them so that they can empathize with her and fully support her in her quest for healing.
