Douglas & McIntyre Dissident Doctor: My Life Catching Babies and
Book SynopsisHow often do you hear a doctor saying doctors need to be more accountable, Medicare needs more support and family medicine deserves more respect?Dissident Doctorbristles with refreshingly frank criticisms from inside the health sector, and its author is not just any doctor but a distinguished scientific researcher, veteran medical administrator, Professor Emeritus, recipient of the Order of Canada and lifelong gadfly.InDissident Doctor, Michael C. Klein intersperses fascinating tales of individual cases with formative elements of his personal life. As the son of American left-wing activists, he grew up singing folk songs about justice and racial equality; as a young doctor his refusal to serve as a military physician during the Vietnam War prompted his immigration to Canada. His early experience working with midwives in Ethiopiadelivering babies using techniques for natural pain relief and without routine episiotomywere formative, leading him to question many standard but unjustified procedures in Western maternity care. He made many unconventional decisions as a result of his focus on humane medicine, transitioning from a specialization in pediatrics and newborn care to become a family physician, and embracing midwifery before it was approved in Canada. Klein's determination in the face of great opposition, the strength of his convictions, and his humility and sense of humour drive this powerful story of a life and career dedicated to his patients and his principles.

Book*hug Where Things Touch: A Meditation on Beauty
Book SynopsisFinalist for the 2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial AwardTo devote oneself to the study of beauty is to offer footnotes to the universe for all the places and all the moments that one observes beauty. I can no longer grab beauty by her wrists and demand articulation or meaning. I can only take account of where things touch.Part lyric essay, part prose poetry, Where Things Touch grapples with the manifold meanings and possibilities of beauty.Drawing on her experiences as a physician-in-training, Orang considers clinical encounters and how they relate to the concept and very idea of beauty. Such considerations lead her to questions about intimacy, queerness, home, memory, love, and other aspects of human existence. Throughout, beauty is ultimately imagined as something inextricably tied to care: the care of lovers, of patients, of art and literature, and the various non-human worlds that surround us.Eloquent and meditative in its approach, beauty, here, beyond base expectations of frivolity and superficiality, is conceived of as a thing to recover.Where Things Touch is an exploration of an essential human pleasure, a necessary freedom by which to challenge what we know of ourselves and the world we inhabit.2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award Jury Citation:"Tapestry-like in form, Orang's lyrical poetic essay stitches together an exploration of beauty and aesthetics that is woven with humility and relationality to other. Her immense sense of craft and confidence make for breath stopping moments, over and over, while at the same time filling the senses with powerful and piercing revelation. 'Reading,' she writes, 'is a kind of ecological activity'– and it is a privilege to situate yourself within Orang's topographies of love." Trade Review"A strikingly lyric thoughtful new voice, Orang writes with the knowledge that feeling is intelligence and thought is sensory. 'What happens to beauty when it's removed from its own dirt?' Beauty is tangled with language, with a lover, with medicine, flowers, ocean, care and compassion. These explorations are insightful, incisive and beautiful—and yes, touching." —Gary Barwin, Scotiabank Giller Prize shortlisted author of Yiddish for Pirates "Where Things Touch: A Meditation on Beauty is an erotic conversation with the manifold relations of beauty. Refracted through the lens of caregiving and caretaking, Bahar Orang’s lyric voice roams through poetry, Persian myth, and hospitals to enchant the everyday, returning us to an intimacy beyond the page—back to the body. Orang guides us with heart-centred intelligence in this beautiful and wise book." —Shazia Hafiz Ramji, author of Port of Being"With immense poetic resources, and weaving together the fabric of her life into a great tapestry, Bahar Orang reflects on beauty in terms of medical identity, love, race, and art. Variably paced, with a vibrant feminist subjectivity, Orang’s debut is worthy of its subject, devising 'new shapes for intimacy, new words for care.'; An incredible work." —Shane Neilson, author of New Brunswick"This book would suggest that beauty is not a thing in and of itself but, instead, it is where things touch. Beauty is in points of connection: doctors pulling screaming babies into the world, lovers wanting to press places understood as too taboo to touch, places where words, thoughts, and feelings come together." —Plenitude Magazine"In a world where eyebrow raises, eye rolls, or scoffs can accompany a conversation about the philosophy of beauty or when so-called philosophers overcomplicate the concept as if that gives it more value, Orang eschews all expectations and allows the subject matter breathing room. She defines her own categories of beauty and looks inward to determine what she finds beautiful." —NUVO Magazine"This book is not one with answers, but rather, thoughtful questions on what it means to be human, the ways in which aspects of the world remain undefinable, and the overwhelming power of intimacy, memory, and art." —Columbia Journal"The insistent returning to the generalities of beauty, away from these rich specifics, might feel like a retreat, but this is the pattern of thinking that the book explores and echoes. Beauty shows not in one place but in many: in its relations to queerness, where blossoming plants become imagined embodiments; to language, in the tension between concision and excess; and to care." —Canadian Literature"Where Things Touch becomes a careful unravelling and weaving of beauty in queerness." —Arc Poetry Magazine"Where Things Touch is not sentimental, but it is tender, offering intimate glimpses of newborn babes in sunlight, textures, colours and lines, fragments and crossed out words: 'Beauty is where language fails.'" —Carousel Magazine"When you read Bahar Orang’s Where Things Touch: A Meditation on Beauty, you will want to not rush through it. These pieces are planted in the heart first, so they sort of bloom and grow inside of you as you read them. You’ll begin to think about how beauty connects to poetry, art, language, love, sexuality, and your own mortality. Find a quiet place where you can let the poems sink in and marinate a bit. You won’t regret it." —periodicities"These poetic essays are simultaneously incisive and gentle, like medicine should be." —subTerrain

Baraka Books Scandinavian Common Sense: Policies to Tackle
Book SynopsisAt a time when austerity is claimed by some to be the only answer to today’s economic woes, a close look at the best practices used in Scandinavia is edifying. Decision makers everywhere dispose of ample evidence showing that social determinants have an impact on health and wellbeing. Yet governments develop policies that diverge enormously. Scandinavian countries are often cited as models for their egalitarian social and health policies but are also known to have thriving economies where the gap dividing rich from poor is smaller than elsewhere. Despite quasi mythic status, these policies aimed to combat inequalities in health are neither well known or understood. Policies discussed in Scandinavian Common Sense include education, housing, conciliation of work and family life, daycare, sustainable development and more. For these policies to be part of political debate, be it in Quebec, Canada, the United States or elsewhere, they must be in the public domain. That is the purpose of this book.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Das QGPS-Verfahren: Qualitätsentwicklung
Book SynopsisGesundheitsförderung und Prävention sind in den letzten Jahren zu bedeutenden Handlungsfeldern im deutschen Gesundheitswesen geworden. Konsequenterweise wird zunehmend auch die Frage nach der Qualität von Programmen in diesem Bereich gestellt.Das QGPS-Verfahren leitet die Auffassung, dass die Programmqualität zentral davon abhängt, inwieweit die spezifischen Bedingungen und Zielsetzungen des jeweiligen Settings in der Entwicklung und Realisierung explizit BerÃ"cksichtigung finden. Dies gilt insbesondere fÃ"r Programme, die im Setting Schule durchgefÃ"hrt werden. Sie sind Gegenstand des Verfahrens, das auf die Qualität gesundheitsbezogener Programme in Schulen fokussiert. Dieses Buch bietet grundlegende Informationen zum Aufbau des QGPS-Verfahrens, Anleitungen und Materialien zu dessen Anwendung sowie ein Praxisbeispiel zur Veranschaulichung.
