Book SynopsisMedicine of the Prophet is a combination of religious and medical information, providing advice and guidance on the two aims of medicinethe preservation and restoration of healthin careful conformity with the teachings of Islam as enshrined in the Qur''an and the hadith, or sayings of the Prophet.

Book SynopsisA clarion call about the dangers of medicine for women, as well as a manual for how women can get the right care for their bodies.Sex Matters tackles one of the most urgent, yet unspoken issues facing women's health care today: all models of medical research and practice are based on male-centric models that ignore the unique biological and emotional differences between men and women - an omission that endangers women's lives. The facts surrounding how male-centric medicine impacts women's health every day are chilling: in the ER, women are more likely to receive a psychiatric diagnosis with regard to opioid use, while men are more likely to be referred for detoxification; the more vocal women become about their pain, the more likely their providers are to prescribe either inadequate or inappropriate pain relief medication; women often present with nontraditional symptoms of stroke, which causes delays in recognition by both them and their health professionals; and a government accountability study found that 80% of drugs that are withdrawn from the market are due to side effects that happen to women (a result of testing drugs mostly on men).Leading expert on sex and gender medicine Dr Alyson McGregor focuses on the key areas where these differences are most potentially harmful, addressing:· Cardiac and stroke diagnosis and treatment in women; · Prescription and dosing of pharmaceuticals;· Subjective evaluation of women's symptoms; · Pain and pain management;· Hormones and female biochemistry (including prescribed hormones); · How economic status, race, and gender identity are additional critical factors.Not only does Dr McGregor explore these disparities in depth, she shares clear, practical suggestions for what we can do. A work of riveting expose, revelatory insights into the medical establishment and actionable guidance for putting this information to use, Sex Matters is an empowering roadmap for reinventing modern medicine - and for self-care.(P)2020 Hachette AudioTrade ReviewI have worked with Dr Alyson McGregor as a national leader in the area of sex and gender in medicine and healthcare--I commend her on this book. * C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, Director, Barbara Streisand Women’s Heart Center, Cedars-Sinai *Alyson McGregor is a persuasive and intelligent advocate for the unique health care needs of women. The two sexes are significantly different in all the tissues of the body--even to the way the same genes are expressed. An expert in emergency medical care, her deep and informed knowledge of the way disease presents itself in women ensures their prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment. She is a powerful force in gender-specific health care. * Marianne J. Legato, MD, PhD (hon. c.), FACP, Emerita Professor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University *Sex Matters is highly learned, readable, and inspiring. A call to action-we learn exactly how women are understudied and misdiagnosed. We must all insist that medical schools and funding agencies do better. We must all support research in sex and gender medicine so that ultimately your doctor can do right by you! * Londa Schiebinger, professor of History of Science, Stanford University, and Director of Gendered Innovations in Science, Health & Medicine, Engineering, and Environment *Well-researched, riveting, and insightful, Sex Matters is a triumph for women's health. Dr. McGregor exposes the gender, racial, and economic biases in medicine and puts the spotlight back where it belongs--on the needs of individual patients. * Wendy S. Klein, MD, MACP, Medical Director, Health Brigade and co-founder, VCU Institute for Women’s Health *Enraging and clearly written, this book is a must-read for all women, who have to deal with ourbiased medical system. A call to arms for those who always suspected that women's pain and symptoms were dismissed and minimized, it also provides practical suggestions for getting better care. * Maia Szalavitz, New York Times bestselling author of Unbroken Brain *From the frontlines of the medical establishment, McGregor offers a bold indictment of a status quo that's failing women. Ultimately hopeful, Sex Matters combines actionable advice for individual patients navigating a health care system built for men with an urgent call for revolutionary collective change. * Maya Dusenbery, author of Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick *I learned so much from this new book. I am grateful to Dr. McGregor for her insight and wisdom. We need to spread the word: sex differences are about much more than ovaries and testicles! * Leonard Sax MD PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Why Gender Matters: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know About the Emerging Science of Sex Differences *Artfully relayed through storytelling, Dr. McGregor brings several familiar stories from the emergency department to your living room, showcasing the many ways men and women are different and why each requires tailored medical care. Her personal experiences of a tortuous path of advocacy are the foundation of action steps to help readers to take charge of their own health and change the future of medicine * Basmah Safdar, Associate Professor, Yale University, Sex and Gender Medicine Expert *Sex Matters is highly learned, readable, and inspiring.

You will not be able to put it down until you have read it from cover to cover and then want start all over again. The sheer wealth of information is an eye opener for the intelligent lay person and a great source of up to date information for health care workers * Marek Glezerman, MD, Immediate Past -President, International Society for Gender Medicine *Dr. Alyson McGregor sounds the alarm for the state of women's health in this country. Her excellent, evidence-based book reveals that women's health is still in its infancy and needs significant research to ensure that women are receiving the best possible medical care. The fact that most drugs that were approved in this country did not even have enough women included in the studies that got them approved to know if the effects in women were the same as in men is just one of many concerning findings. Her book shows that there is much work to do in this area (much more even more than we thought) and that we can count on this call to action to spur us onward! This book will be appreciated by medical and lay people alike given its excellent readability. I am thrilled that this book is out there to provide benchmarks and goals so that we can ultimately transform women's health * Judy Regensteiner, MD, Director of the Center for Women’s Health Research at the University of Colorado *Dr. McGregor makes a clear and compelling case that women, particularly women of color, in the United States time after time receive inadequate or even harmful medical care. Dr. McGregor also explains how cultural stereotypes about women are frequently used by physicians to justify a dismissive approach to women's symptoms even when these symptoms herald conditions with potentially dire outcomes. Taking it one step further, Dr. McGregor provides the reader with suggestions on how to cut through a physician's ability to dismiss her symptoms, encouraging her to find another provider if necessary. * Molly Carnes, MD. *I have worked with Dr. Alyson McGregor as a national leader in the area of sex and gender in medicine and healthcare-I commend her on this book * C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, Director, Barbara Streisand Women’s Heart Center, Cedars-Sinai *[McGregor's] book is unashamedly activist; a how-to guide for obtaining better treatment... the core content is hair-raising and potentially life-saving * The Times *Picking up the hardback book, one could be tempted to ask, "how bad could it really be?"

Book SynopsisThere's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways? Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your life. Every parent should read this book.Trade Review"Paul Ehrlich is the world's best-known and most distinguished ecologist, and one of the best known figures in any field of science. Now, teaming up with Sandra Kahn, he offers us his most personal and practical book to date. You'll discover the widespread consequences of how you carry out such seemingly mundane, automatic, and repetitive acts as breathing, smiling, and sleeping—and how your ways of doing those things affect peoples' perceptions of you. Read, enjoy, learn, and prepare to be astonished!"—Jared Diamond, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel "The specialty of orthodontics has the potential to lead the way out of this epidemic of chronic disease (including malocclusion). We need only read and understand this book first."—Barry Raphael, Head of the Raphael Center for Integrative Orthodontics"People have some power to protect their children from this serious and cryptic environmental problem. Jaws lays out both causes and cures."—Gretchen C. Daily, Bing Professor of Environmental Science, Stanford UniversityJaws is a must read for every parent on this planet. It addresses the causes of our chronic health crisis and tells us how to prevent it while correcting our faces, jaws and airways. Airway health will give the most added value for this generation's overall wellness."—Michael Gelb DDS, MS"Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic is a well-researched book providing unique overview and insight in to a healthcare problem frequently overlooked by child healthcare professionals. Sleep is likely as important to health and well-being as food, but receives little attention. This book is an important read for all professionals who care for children. It also asks questions for possible future research in the field of pediatric obstructive sleep disordered breathing."—Stephen H. Sheldon, author of Principles and Practice of Pediatric Sleep Medicine"Drs. Kahn and Ehrlich's cogent narrative describing the structural, functional and behavioral changes in the human species truly challenges the cultural and educational orthodoxies in the West's disease management healthcare system. It begs the question, 'why did it take so long to bring this enlightened insight into mainstream thought with all the available evidence presented?' The answer to this question is meticulously answered in the very readable pages of this important work; read on!"—Mark A.

Smith, University of California, Berkeley"Your Oral Posture is your future."—John Mew, Head of the London School of Facial Orthotropics"Every parent wants their child to grow strong and healthy. Orthodontics chosen for your child can be the most important choice to give a structural foundation to health. Sandra and Paul present important information that any parent should know about in order to give their children the cranial facial structure for beauty and health. This is a brilliant work by two brilliant scientists."—Mark Abrahamson, Stanford Center for Integrative Medicine"This manuscript looks beyond the flashy smile that so many of us pay our orthodontists for and asks the hard question: Why is it we are almost all born with the faces of angels, yet so few maintain that face value of our innate and inborn beauty? The answer revealed is intriguing, thought provoking and a much needed call to action to fight for the fullest physical potential for all our children. A must read!"—Simon Wong, BDSc., London School of Facial Orthotropics"Everyone who is concerned about health needs to have this information."—William M. Hang DDS, MSD"About 90 percent of our children have bite problems. When more than 50 percent of a population has a problem it is an epidemic. Sandra Kahn and Paul Ehrlich present the causes and consequences of this epidemic affecting our young generations. This book educates the public and dental community on treating and preventing the underlying problem, instead of just aligning teeth."—German Ramirez-Yañez DDS, MDSc, MSc, PhD"Every new parent should chew on this book. Who knew that how we suckle, chew and breathe as an infant can set us off on a course toward serious orthodontic treatment, a life of sleep apnea, cardiovascular problems and sudden death while sleeping? Kahn and Ehrlich clearly and comprehensively describe a hidden epidemic that impairs the health of far too many people, young and old. They explore the causes of the epidemic, and crucially, provide practical advice that helps you prevent the epidemic from affecting your child, or amazingly, how its progress can be reversed in childhood if it has already started. This book should be in every new mom's care package when she leaves the hospital."—John Peterson Myers, Chief Scientist, Environmental Health Sciences"Sandra Kahn and Paul Ehrlich clearly define and explain the hidden epidemic that exists around us.

Book SynopsisIt all began in June 2005 when Bobby Henderson wrote an open letter to the Kansas School Board proposing a third alternative to the teaching of evolution and intelligent design in schools.Bobby is a prophet of sorts, the spiritual leader of a growing, world-wide group of followers who worship the teachings of The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM).The FSM appeared to Bobby as a giant ball of spaghetti, with meatballs for eyes, and touched Bobby with His noodly appendage resulting in the revelation that the FSM is the real creator of the universe. The FSM faithful look to Bobby as their prophet and spiritual leader. Shortly after Bobby's revelation a website (www.flyingspaghettimonster.org) came into existence to promote the word. Then came the articles, which were worldwide: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian (UK), Die Welt (Germany), Surprise (Austria), and many others chimed in to report the existence of the FSM.

Book SynopsisBridges the gap between AI and neuroscience by telling the story of how the brain came to be.''I found this book amazing'' Daniel Kahneman, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and bestselling author of Thinking Fast & SlowThe entirety of the human brain's 4-billion-year story can be summarised as the culmination of five evolutionary breakthroughs, starting from the very first brains, all the way to the modern human brains. Each breakthrough emerged from new sets of brain modifications, and equipped animals with a new suite of intellectual faculties.These five breakthroughs are the organising map to this book, and they make up our itinerary for our adventure back in time. Each breakthrough also has fascinating corollaries to breakthroughs in AI. Indeed, there will be plenty of such surprises along the way. For instance: the innovation that enabled AI to beat humans in the game of Go temporal difference reinforcement learning was an innovation discovered by our fish ancestors over 500 million years ago. The solutions to many of the current mysteries in AI such as common sense' can be found in the tiny brain of a mouse. Where do emotions come from? Research suggests that they may have arisen simply as a solution to navigation in ancient worm brains. Unravelling this evolutionary story will reveal the hidden features of human intelligence and with them, just how your mind came to be.Trade Review‘Max Bennett published two scientific papers on brain evolution that blew me away. Now he has turned these into a fabulous book, A Brief History of Intelligence. His friendly writing style, clear jargon-free prose, and well of information make this book a winner.’ Joseph LeDoux, Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Neural Science & Psychology at NYU, bestselling author of Anxious and A Deep History of Ourselves ‘With a truly mindboggling scope, A Brief History of Intelligence integrates the most relevant scientific knowledge to paint the big picture of how the human mind emerged. The red line through this book never gets blurred by unnecessary detail or jargoned language. It makes for exciting reading for virtually everybody, laypersons and experts alike.’ Kurt Kotrschal, Professor at Department of Behavioral Biology at University of Vienna, author of Dog & Human: The secret of our soul mates ‘If you’re in the least bit curious about that 3-pound grey blob between your ears, read this book. Max Bennett’s entertaining and enlightening natural history of brains is a tour de force–as refreshing as it is entertaining. It made my brain happy.’ Jonathan Balcombe, bestselling author of Super Fly, and the New York Times bestseller What a Fish Knows ‘Max Bennett gives a lively account of how brains evolved, and how the brain works today. A Brief History of Intelligence is engaging, comprehensive, and brimming with novel insights.’ Kent Berridge, James Olds Distinguished Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience at University of Michigan ‘If you want to know how our ancestors were able to “weaponize their imaginarium to survive”, then this is the book for you.

Book SynopsisIn the past three decades, archaeologists have made great strides in recovering the lost world of the Old Testament. Dozens of digs in Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Lebanon have changed experts'' understanding of ancient Israel and its neighbours- as well as their vision of the Bible''s greatest tales. Yet until now, the public has remained almost entirely unaware of these discoveries which help separate legend from historical truth. Here, at last, two of archaeology''s leading scholars shed new light on how the Bible came into existence. They assert, for example, that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob never existed, that David and Solomon were not great kings but obscure chieftains and that the Exodus never happened. They offer instead a new historical truth: the Bible was created by the people of the small, southern nation of Judah in a heroic last-ditch attempt to keep their faith alive after the demise of the larger, wealthier nation of Israel to the north. It is in this truth, not in the myths of the past, that the real value of the Bible is evident.Trade ReviewBaruch Halpern author of The First Historians: The Hebrew Bible and History The boldest and most exhilarating synthesis of the Bible and archaeology in fifty years.John Shelby Spong author of Here I Stand: My Struggle for a Christianity of Integrity, Love, and Equality A bold and provocative book, well researched, well written, and powerfully argued.

Book SynopsisAbout our authors Elaine Marieb received her Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to better understand the relationship between the scientific study of the human body and the clinical aspects of nursing practice. To that end, while continuing to teach full-time, Dr. Marieb pursued her nursing education, which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical specialization in gerontology from the University of Massachusetts. It is this experience that has informed the development of the unique perspective and accessibility for which her publications are known.
