HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Heart of Islam
Book SynopsisAs the specter of religious extremism has become a fact of life today, the temptation is great to allow the evil actions and perspectives of a minority to represent an entire tradition. In the case of Islam, there has been much recent confusion in the Western world centered on distorted portrayals of its core values. Born of ignorance, such confusion feeds the very problem at hand.In The Heart of Islam one of the great intellectual figures in Islamic history offers a timely presentation of the core spiritual and social values of Islam: peace, compassion, social justice, and respect for the other. Seizing this unique moment in history to reflect on the essence of his tradition, Seyyed Hossein Nasr seeks to open a spiritual and intellectual space for mutual understanding. Exploring Islamic values in scripture, traditional sources, and history, he also shows their clear counterparts in the Jewish and Christian traditions, revealing the common ground of the Abrahamic faiths.Nasr challenges members of the world''s civilizations to stop demonizing others while identifying themselves with pure goodness and to turn instead to a deeper understanding of those shared values that can solve the acute problems facing humanity today. Muslims must ask themselves what went wrong within their own societies, he writes, but the West must also pose the same question about itself . . . whether we are Muslims, Jews, Christians, or even secularists, whether we live in the Islamic world or in the West, we are in need of meaning in our lives, of ethical norms to guide our actions, of a vision that would allow us to live at peace with each other and with the rest of God''s creation. Such help, he believes, lies at the heart of every religion and can lead the followers of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) as well as other religious and spiritual traditions to a new future of mutual respect and common global purpose.The Heart of Islam is a landmark presentation of enduring value that offers hope to humanity, and a compelling portrait of the beauty and appeal of the faith of 1.2 billion people.Trade Review"This is exactly the right book... to counter the demonizing stereotypes of Islam proliferated by the war on terrorism" -- Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions "Professor Nasr has put the beauty and appeal of Islam into clear and readable English." -- John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a New World "This sensitive, insightful and beautifully written book comes as a ray of sunshine." -- Mark Juergensmeyer, author of Terror in the Mind of God Mark Juergensmeyer, author of Terror in the Mind of God Mark Juergensmeyer, author of Terror in the Mind of God Mark Juergensmeyer, author of Terror in the Mind of God "Filled with challenge and insight...an indispensable text." -- Rabbi Michael Paley "A lasting, honest, and intimate tour of Islam's basic aspects..." -- The [New Jersey] Star-Ledger "A first-tier Islamic scholar ... it is hard to imagine a better introduction to the faith." -- Library Journal "[I]t is hard to imagine a better introduction to the faith." -- Library Journal "An illuminating new book that explores the spiritual and social values of the faith of one-fifth of humanity." -- Christian Science Monitor "The most important study of Islam in all its breadth and all its depth available in the English language." -- Gai Eaton, author of Islam and the Destiny of Man "Concise, clear, and eloquent, it has the crystalline ring of the voice of reason and cuts through layers of ignorance." -- The World & I

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Bitten
Book SynopsisA riveting thriller reminiscent of The Hot Zone, this true story dives into the mystery surrounding one of the most controversial and misdiagnosed conditions of our time—Lyme disease—and of Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered the microbe behind it, revealing his secret role in developing bug-borne biological weapons, and raising terrifying questions about the genesis of the epidemic of tick-borne diseases affecting millions of Americans today.While on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, Kris Newby was bitten by an unseen tick. That one bite changed her life forever, pulling her into the abyss of a devastating illness that took ten doctors to diagnose and years to recover: Newby had become one of the 300,000 Americans who are afflicted with Lyme disease each year.As a science writer, she was driven to understand why this disease is so misunderstood, and its patients so mistreated. This quest led her to Willy Burgdorfer, the Lyme microbe’s discoverer, who revealed that he had developed bug-borne bioweapons during the Cold War, and believed that the Lyme epidemic was started by a military experiment gone wrong.In a superb, meticulous work of narrative journalism, Bitten takes readers on a journey to investigate these claims, from biological weapons facilities to interviews with biosecurity experts and microbiologists doing cutting-edge research, all the while uncovering darker truths about Willy. It also leads her to uncomfortable questions about why Lyme can be so difficult to both diagnose and treat, and why the government is so reluctant to classify chronic Lyme as a disease.A gripping, infectious page-turner, Bitten will shed a terrifying new light on an epidemic that is exacting an incalculable toll on us, upending much of what we believe we know about it.

American Psychiatric Association Publishing Handbook of Medicine in Psychiatry
Book SynopsisPoverty, substandard medical care, social neglect or withdrawal, unhealthy lifestyle—these are just some of the contributors to the substantial morbidity of patients with severe mental illness. Medical deteriorations are often unexpected and severe, and particularly difficult to evaluate in the context of psychotic disorders. For this new edition, the Handbook of Medicine in Psychiatry has been updated and streamlined to provide a realistic approach to the medical issues encountered in psychiatric practice by helping clinicians answer whether their patient: • Is at risk of dying or becoming severely disabled.• Requires an immediate therapeutic intervention for a potentially life-threatening condition.• Needs to be transferred to an emergency medicine setting.• Requires urgent investigations.• Must have changes made in the current medication regimen. Clinical vignettes for each chapter illustrate the complexity of the presentation of abnormal vital signs and somatic disorders in psychiatric settings, including fever, hypertension, seizures, and nausea and vomiting. The guide also provides risk stratification for major complications—from abnormal thyroid function and acute kidney injury to myocarditis and venous thromboembolism—enabling readers to determine the need for a transfer of the patient to an emergency medicine setting. A brand-new section features thorough discussions of topics requiring interdisciplinary collaboration with geriatricians, neurologists, anesthesiologists, addiction medicine, and adolescent medicine specialists. Clinicians working in today's busy inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings will find in these pages a cognitive framework and knowledge base that will aid them in accurate decision making in the conditions of uncertainty created by potentially major medical deteriorations of the vulnerable populations under their care.Trade ReviewThis third edition presents a more streamlined approach to some of the common medical complications clinicians may encounter in psychiatric settings. Overall, the new edition does a good job presenting easy-to-access content that would be helpful in determining who is at risk for severe complications in order to determine what level of care they need. -- Matthew Koster, D.O., MBA * Doody's Book Reviews *Table of ContentsContributorsPrefaceAcknowledgments Part I: Abnormal Vital Signs Chapter 1.

Morgan James Publishing llc Mere Spirituality
Book SynopsisWith new insights into ancient wisdom, Mere Spirituality will challenge people to embark on their own spiritual journey with practical and tangible results in mind. Western society is in cognitive dissonance, paying lip service to scientific materialism while simultaneously searching for meaning in life, believing in spiritual realities, and experimenting with different religious practices. Being fed an anemic diet of the shallow and superficial, society is starving for depth and searching for purpose. Mere Spirituality offers a concise commentary on the state of Western civilization, highlighting the successes and failures of its modern worldview and philosophy while reintroducing essential elements that formed its foundation. By diagnosing the current spirit of the age, it then prescribes a healthier alternative without sacrificing rationality, explaining the concept, reason, and practice of spiritual disciplines. Bridging the gap between the left and right brain, Mere Spirituality speaks the language of reason to establish the deeper purpose and meaning of life and the logical arrival at spiritual conclusions. The result is a fascinating and insightful study of humanity, society, and reality, with a greater understanding of the what and why of spiritual disciplines that don't just preach to the choir. This inspirational guide will encourage peoplewhether they're mystics or skepticsto step out of their spiritual comfort zone.

Hatred, either of neighbors or strangers, is not inevitable. -- Sara Lipton * New York Review of Books *Terrifying and learned…Her book can be read more broadly as an allegory for our age, a story about how technological change, religious beliefs, struggles for power, and a politics of demonization can produce memes capable of transmitting the potential for violence across vast amounts of time and space…Teter’s book assumes a well-deserved place in this illustrious tradition of forensic history on the blood libel, and we should all be grateful for it, since the task remains vitally necessary. -- David Nirenberg * The Nation *[A] magisterial account of the blood libel and its origins. -- Geoffrey Alderman * Times Higher Education *Reads like a high-end crime novel; it’s a page-turner that the reader will have difficulty putting down…The conceit of the book is that how and why the libelous stories of ritual murder were spread across Europe, using new broadcast technologies, were as significant—perhaps more so—than the blood libel incidents themselves. -- Jerome A. Chanes * New York Jewish Week *Draws on archives in eight countries, including Vatican City, in a detailed analysis of the establishment of this monstrous myth in medieval and early modern Europe…Blood Libel presents a cogent account of this persistence of hate…An informative account of the different ways in which European countries handled blood libel accusations against Jews…A timely reminder that ‘leadership matters, as do words and official statements.’ -- Glenn C. Altschuler * Jerusalem Post *Although there is a great deal of research on the history of the blood libel, much of it recent, Magda Teter’s book is one of the rare works to focus extensively on the early modern period (1450–1790s). She does so with impressive erudition…The product is a dazzling intellectual history, a foray into hundreds of well-known and little-known sources that, examined together, provide a comprehensive picture of the creation, dissemination, and reception of this stubbornly persistent antisemitic myth…A monumental work of scholarship likely to stand for a long time as the definitive study of this scurrilous anti-Jewish myth. -- Edward Berenson * Antisemitism Studies *Begins and ends on a warning note, with an attentiveness to modern-day incidents. With its wealth of archival material, Blood Libel will engage readers who are interested not only in the history of antisemitism but also in the historical and cultural contexts with which it intersects. -- Heather Blurton * H-Net Reviews *Unique…A detective-like reconstruction of blood libel accusations…[These are] extraordinary stories Teter reconstructs. We have in them a unique, unprecedented, and expansive window into a scourge, which, as even the briefest online glance reveals, is sadly still alive. -- Kenneth Stow * Journal of Modern History *A well-written, masterful examination of one of the most deleterious examples of ‘fake news’…Teter is fully conversant with canon and civil law, iconography, church-state relations, and social history—all requisite in exploring the regional similarities and differences between Christian attitudes regarding, and Jewish responses to, the blood libel charge. * Choice *An intellectual tour de force. This authoritative study of the blood libel and its ramifications in early modern Europe will become a classic. -- Ronnie Po-Chia Hsia, author of Trent 1475: Stories of a Ritual Murder TrialA work of wide-ranging research, great insight, and remarkable erudition. This will be the definitive book on blood libel for a long time to come, equally important for readers of Jewish history and Christian history in early modern Europe. -- Larry Wolff, author of Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the EnlightenmentIn this deeply researched and meticulously argued book, Magda Teter offers the first comprehensive study of the origins and afterlife of one of the most virulent and harmful of all anti-Jewish accusations. But Blood Libel is far more than a narrative history. By highlighting the central role of printed books, broadsheets, and images in the dissemination of the libel, Teter illuminates the mechanisms by which hate can be generated, and offers a powerful and sobering lesson for our own time. -- Sara Lipton, author of Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Semitic Iconography

They demonised natural fat in foods, driving patients to eat processed carbohydrates as obesity soared.Modern medicine shines when it draws on good scientific studies.
