Pain is a part of life. It interferes with our plans, threatens our state of being, and affects our relationships with others. Since antiquity, people have searched for remedies to mitigate and prevent pain. Even now, in 2016, one of modern medicine's greatest challenges is treating chronic pain. Despite great advances in this field, it is still considered a major health problem. Most people will suffer pain at some point from common problems, injuries, or illnesses, which will affect their ability to perform routine activities as well as their long-term health. Many patients are not completely alleviated by the usual treatments they receive. With that in mind, this practical guide clearly and effectively addresses topics such as: How pain functions How to alleviate chronic pain Alternative therapies for pain relief Habits that can prevent pain Natural solutions for common pains Benefits and side effects of common pain relief drugs This guide will walk you through detailed descriptions of a variety of painful conditions, from headaches and stomachaches to phantom limb and neurological issues. You will also learn about a wide range of therapies and treatments for these conditions, including massage, yoga, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, diet, and herbal remedies, among others. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Redefining the way we view business success, Pamela Laird demolishes the popular American self-made story as she exposes the social dynamics that navigate some people toward opportunity and steer others away. Who gets invited into the networks of business opportunity? What does an unacceptable candidate lack? The answer is social capital--all those social assets that attract respect, generate confidence, evoke affection, and invite loyalty. In retelling success stories from Benjamin Franklin to Andrew Carnegie to Bill Gates, Laird goes beyond personality, upbringing, and social skills to reveal the critical common key--access to circles that control and distribute |

opportunity and information. She explains how civil rights activism and feminism in the 1960s and 1970s helped demonstrate that personnel practices violated principles of equal opportunity. She evaluates what social privilege actually contributes to business success, and analyzes the balance between individual characteristics--effort, innovation, talent--and social factors such as race, gender, class, and connections. In contrasting how Americans have prospered--or not--with how we have talked about prospering, Laird offers rich insights into how business really operates and where its workings fit within American culture. From new perspectives on entrepreneurial achievement to the role of affirmative action and the operation of modern corporate personnel systems, Pull shows that business is a profoundly social process, and that no one can succeed alone. |
