Greener Than Thou: Are You Really An Environmentalist? - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The Hoover Institution is designing and implementing task forces onspecific topics that coincide with Hoover’s ongoing research initiatives.Representing multiyear efforts, the task forces will adopt a method-ology whereby a team of experts, both Hoover fellows and otherprominent scholars, are brought together and organized as a team, or“virtual faculty,” to work on commonly defined topics and projects.One of these new task force efforts, with lead sponsorship by Johnand Jean DeNault, is the Task Force on Property Rights, Freedom,and Prosperity.The premise behind Terry Anderson and Laura Huggin’s newbook, Greener Than Thou, complements Hoover’s broader effort ofunderstanding the role of property rights in a free society in the above-mentioned task force. In Greener Than Thou, Anderson and Hugginsaddress the critical link between property ownership and care for as-sets, as evidenced in the poignantly titled chapter 4, “No One Washesa Rental Car.” Throughout the book, Anderson and Huggins delvedeeply into how best to use property rights and markets to convertthe environment from a problem into an asset, providing a convincingalternative to regulation via the property rights and market path. Notonly do property rights lead to prosperity, which in turn leads toenvironmental quality, but the combination of property rights andmarkets makes the environment an asset that can receive careful ste-wardship from its owner.
This Is Where I Leave You: A Novel - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Dad’s dead,” Wendy says offhandedly, like it’s happened before, likeit happens every day. It can be grating, this act of hers, to be utterly unfazed at all times, even in the face of tragedy. “He died two hoursago.”“How’s Mom doing?”“She’s Mom, you know? She wanted to know how much to tip thecoroner.”I have to smile, even as I chafe, as always, at our family’s patentedinability to express emotion during watershed events. There is no occasion calling for sincerity that the Foxman family won’t quickly diminishor pervert through our own genetically engineered brand of irony andevasion. We banter, quip, and insult our way through birthdays, holidays, weddings, illnesses. Now Dad is dead and Wendy is cracking wise.It serves him right, since he was something of a pioneer at the forefrontof emotional repression.“It gets better,” Wendy says.“Better? Jesus, Wendy, do you hear yourself?”“Okay, that came out wrong.”“You think?”“He asked us to sit shiva.”“Who did?”“Who are we talking about? Dad! Dad wanted us to sit shiva.”2 J o n a t h a n Tr o p p e r“Dad’s dead.”Wendy sighs, like it’s positively exhausting having to navigate thedense forest of my obtuseness. “Yes, apparently, that’s the optimal timeto do it.”“But Dad’s an atheist.”“Dad was an atheist.”“You’re telling me he found God before he died?”“No, I’m telling you he’s dead and you should conjugate your tensesaccordingly.......
How well are you willing to bee?: A beginners's ''auto'' fix it guide - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The contents of this guide are intended to give the reader knowledge ofsome alternatives to the manner in which he/she may view the treatment of aspecified illness. Although a variety of choices exists, the hope is that this bookmay enlighten you about some new, yet very old, ways to get better. Did thatsuper heart medication, digitalis, not come from the foxglove plant? Sure it did.Do you know where aspirin originated? It was in the willow tree. Even thebuffering agent now used in aspirin comes from that same willow tree. Whatelse does nature have to offer? This is something many of us are now asking andwe are getting answers, too. Why do so many of us use things that just mask aproblem? A bandage can help protect a scratch from further harm, but why notuse something to aid the healing process before you apply the bandage? Well,did you know that raw honey is one of the most sterile topical ointments youcould use? When used on a scratch or burn, for example, it actually assists inspeeding the healing process. Of course, honey is good on piping hot biscuits,too! However, that's another story.What else can we learn about natural healing? It's not invasive to ourbodies. It does not require a whole new way of living, but it can give you one.The cost is affordable. The "feel good" feeling is natural, not synthetic. Thedocumentation about the powers of natural healing has been handed down forthousands of years. The Bible speaks often of the benefits of honey and propolis.Since the time of Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, there is evidence of theuse of apitherapy (the therapeutic use of bee products). The Chinese have usedherbs, bees, and other natural means of healing for hundreds of centuries. Doyou realize that money has not been an issue when dealing with these ways ofhealing? Only when mankind starts to "fool with Mother Nature" does the wal-let become an important factor.Remember when you would fall down and Mom could simply kiss it andmake it all better? Of course the bad knee scrapes sometimes needed a Band-Aid. Now, for instance, many of us feel we need to 'see a doctor' for a hurt knee.What do we get? Perhaps it will be a cortisone shot. Ouch!! Your body pro-duces cortisol, so why not use it instead? Because we don't know how, right?Well, let's start learning, saving money, and getting better. First, learn whatKISS can really mean: Keep It Simple, Sweetheart!
Residents' Teaching Skills (Springer Series on Medical Education) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: After a 2-year stint as a research fellow in nephrology, I returned to BostonCity Hospital in order to complete my 3rd year of internal medicine residen-cy. During the course of my fellowship, I'd done research on acid-basedisorders—an area that most medical students and residents find very con-fusing. Because of my research experience, the faculty and attendings as-sumed that I could teach this arcane subject to my peers and to our medicalstudents. With no training whatsoever in teaching (yes, even as a 3rd-yearresident!), I was assigned the task of putting together a lecture/seminar se-ries. To this day, I'm not sure whom the experience was worse for: theanxious, utterly unprepared "instructor" (me), or the learners, who probablygot very little satisfactory instruction from the seminar despite my mostearnest efforts.Does this sound familiar? It's an experience that nearly all of us have hadat some point during our residency: the sudden, sickening realization thatwe're going to be expected not only to care for patients, but to teach themedical students that we all too recently were ourselves. And we have abso-lutely no idea what to do. For more than a few residents, a crashing patientin the emergency room may be a lot less daunting than a clutch of earnestmedical students following in their wake and waiting for their wisdom.Traditionally, medical residents have not received the formal preparationthat is essential to the transition from full-time learner to at least part-timeteacher. Although many residents make that transition successfully through asort of osmosis, many more do not, and they remain ineffective teachersthroughout their residencies. With some estimates indicating that residentsare responsible for as much as 80% of student teaching, this is clearly anuntenable situation for medical education. Nor is it permissible according tothe standards of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which statethat "Residents must be fully informed about the educational objectives ofthe clerkships and be prepared for their roles as teachers and evaluators ofmedical students.
Light (Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It series) (Robertson, William C. Stop Faking It!,) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Back when I was in college, there was a course titled Physics for Poets. At aschool where I taught physics, the same kind of course was referred to by thestudents as Football Physics. The theory behind having courses like these was thatpoets and/or football players, or basically anyone who wasn’t a science geek, neededsome kind of watered-down course because most of the people taking the coursewere—and this was generally true—SCARED TO DEATH OF SCIENCE.In many years of working in education, I have found that the vast majorityof elementary school teachers, parents who home school their kids, and parentswho just want to help their kids with science homework fall into this category.Lots of “education experts” tell teachers they can solve this problem by justasking the right questions and having the kids investigate science ideas on theirown. These experts say you don’t need to understand the science concepts. Inother words, they’re telling you to fake it! Well, faking it doesn’t work when itcomes to teaching anything, so why should it work with science? Like it or not,you have to understand a subject before you can help kids with it. Ever triedteaching someone a foreign language without knowing the language?The whole point of the Stop Faking It! series of books is to help you under-stand basic science concepts and to put to rest the myth that you can’t under-stand science because it’s too hard. If you haven’t tried other ways of learningscience concepts, such as looking through a college textbook, or subscribing toScientific American, or reading the incorrect and oversimplified science in anelementary school text, please feel free to do so and then pick up this book. Ifyou find those other methods more enjoyable, then you really are a science geekand you ought to give this book to one of us normal folks. Just a joke, okay?
No Perfect People Allowed: Creating a Come-as-You-Are Culture in the Church - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: People ask me how long it took to write this book. The truth is—aboutfifteen years.I left the business world for campus ministry fifteen years agobecause I wanted to help my generation find authentic faith like I was begin-ning to experience. The first seven years of ministry to America’s first post-modern* generation were discouraging—I almost lost hope. Since then,God has turned my philosophy of church and ministry upside down. I nowbelieve that only a church full of imperfect people, acting as his Body, canbring the hope and healing needed to change our postmodern world for thebetter—one life at a time. That’s why I’ve written this book, because I seeGod powerfully at work in our generation.A year ago I attended a conference about ministry in a postmoderncontext. I found myself terribly discouraged and bothered—and tired ofmodern-church deconstruction! For the past six years, I’ve read numerousbooks, attended conferences, and surfed the blogs about the emergingtrends of new generations and their new ways of thinking. We have decon-structed everything, identified all the problems with the current church,and proclaimed what we knew would not work. We’ve read statisticians likeBarna, Gallup, and Regele warn of the impending doom for our generationand the church in America.
Drug Transporters: Molecular Characterization and Role in Drug Disposition (Wiley Series in Drug Discovery and Development) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Transporters are membrane proteins that span cellular membranes and are the gate-keepers for all cells and organelles, controlling the intake and efflux of crucial en-dogenous substrates such as sugars, amino acids, nucleotides, and inorganic ions.The specificity of many transporters is not, however, limited to their physiologicalsubstrates, and for some, their physiological substrates remain undiscovered. Xeno-biotics (i.e., drugs, dietary and environmental compounds) have the potential to berecognized by transporters, which crucially influence the absorption, distribution, andelimination of drugs in the body.Due to their hydrophobic nature and relatively low abundance, the molecular iden-tification of transporters had been a difficult task until the development of the expres-sion cloning technique for transporters in the early 1990s. This powerful approach,combined with recent genome analysis, has facilitated the identification and charac-terization of numerous transporters that are important in drug disposition.

That You May Prosper: Dominion by Covenant - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: FOREWORDby Milton C. Fisher 1Pick up your Bible and ask, “How do I get hold of the message ofthis Book? How do I apply it to life – not just my life, but to all life inthis complex world in which we live?” Many approaches to “dividingthe word of truth” have been proposed. Both, complex and simplesystems have been developed, propagated, and tried out. Tried, butfound wanting. That You May Prosper is not just one more experimentalsystem for organizing Bible content. It clearly expounds and appliesthe Bible’s own structure in a way that demonstrates its intent.Cleverly concocted analyses of the Bible, though often contain-ing scattered elements of truth (out of focus and disproportionate inemphasis), fall short and distort for one reason. They fail to take intoaccount the essential nature of the written Word of God. They missthe should-be-obvious fact that the Bible is by design and intent acovenant document.Jehovah God called His servant, Moses the Lawgiver, at thebush in the desert. Moses was the prepared agent, learned in all thewisdom of the Egyptians, whom God used to deliver His peoplefrom bondage and also to encode the revealed constitution for a newnation, His people Israel. Hence it is most likely that the very firstwords written as Bible were those inscribed by God’s own hand: “I amJehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, . .آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
