Local historian Frank Remer Shivers, Jr., has lived in Bolton Hill since 1951. Weaving fond recollections, character sketches, and family histories with literary excerpts, newspaper references, and maps and illustrations, Shivers captures the pride Bolton Hillers take in their quirky part of town.Shivers writes about the churches that distinguish the community and the private schools -- Bryn Mawr, Friends, and Boys Latin -- that once graced it. He remembers some of Bolton Hill's most interesting residents -- a graduate student named Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the silent-film star Francis X. Bushman, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, the Cone sisters, and the young television personality Gary Moore among them. He recounts mid- to late-20th-century efforts to preserve the neighborhood and its special character, a movement that sometimes failed, but ultimately led to new architecture that blends comfortably with the essentially nineteenth-century flavor of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599681396983,"sku":"9780938420958","price":80.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9780938420958.jpg?v=1782637049"},{"product_id":"9780943126302","title":"Home Care Guide for Cancer","description":"\u003cp\u003eFriends and family who provide care at home are an important part of the health care team, and they are most effective when given proper guidance from health care professionals. Shorter hospital stays and greater reliance on outpatient care for persons with cancer are shifting a significant part of medical care into the hands of family members and friends. To carry out these responsibilities, family caregivers need information and guidance from health professionals. More important, they need encouragement to become active problem solvers rather than passively seeking all the solutions from medical professionals.  Written for a broad audience, this easy-to-use workbook was designed for home caregivers, patients, support groups, and education programs; it features easy-to-read type and an index for quick reference. The authors include oncology nurses, social workers, psychologists, physicians, family caregivers, and persons with cancer. Home Care Guide for Cancer offers advice on twenty common cancer caregiving problems, including:  † How to succeed at caregiving † Fever and infections † Tiredness and fatigue † Appetite † Problems with the mouth † Nausea and vomiting † Diarrhea † Constipation Cancer pain † Veinsš† Bleeding † Skin problems † Maintaining positive experiences † Getting companionship and support from family and friends † Getting information from medical staff † Getting help from community agencies and support groups † Moving around the house † Coordinating care from one treatment setting to another † Coping with anxiety † Coping with depression. ''A valuable resource for any cancer caregiver involved with home care... The mundane (fatigue, constipation), the scary (fever, sexual problems, bleeding), and the technical (vein and mouth problems) are covered with practicality and aplomb.

Yet the glory of this achievement was short lived. The same treatments that delivered some normalcy to the lives of persons with hemophilia brought unexpectedly fatal results in the 1980s when people with the disease contracted HIV-AIDS and Hepatitis C in staggering numbers.  The Bleeding Disease recounts the promising and perilous history of American medical and social efforts to manage hemophilia in the twentieth century.This is both a success story and a cautionary tale, one built on the emergence in the 1950s and 1960s of an advocacy movement that sought normalcy -- rather than social isolation and hyper-protectiveness -- for the boys and men who suffered from the severest form of the disease.Stephen Pemberton evokes the allure of normalcy as well as the human costs of medical and technological progress in efforts to manage hemophilia. He explains how physicians, advocacy groups, the blood industry, and the government joined patients and families in their unrelenting pursuit of normalcy -- and the devastating, unintended consequences that pursuit entailed. Ironically, transforming the hope of a normal life into a purchasable commodity for people with bleeding disorders made it all too easy to ignore the potential dangers of delivering greater health and autonomy to hemophilic boys and men.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599682412791,"sku":"9781421401157","price":117.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781421401157.jpg?v=1782637453"},{"product_id":"9781421401300","title":"The Foot Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eAching or painful feet make it hard to stand or walk -- not to mention dance, play sports, and take part in other activities.

Taking a new look at the history of anatomy, Cynthia Klestinec places public dissections alongside private ones to show how the anatomical theater was both a space of philosophical learning, which contributed to a deeper scientific analysis of the body, and a place where students learned to behave, not with ghoulish curiosity, but rather in a civil manner toward their teachers, their peers, and the corpse. Klestinec argues that the drama of public dissection in the Renaissance (which on occasion included musical accompaniment) served as a ploy to attract students to anatomical study by way of anatomy's philosophical dimensions rather than its empirical offerings. While these venues have been the focus of much scholarship, the private traditions of anatomy comprise a neglected and crucial element of anatomical inquiry. Klestinec shows that in public anatomies, amid an increasingly diverse audience -- including students and professors, fishmongers and shoemakers -- anatomists emphasized the conceptual framework of natural philosophy, whereas private lessons afforded novel visual experiences where students learned about dissection, observed anatomical particulars, considered surgical interventions, and eventually speculated on the mechanical properties of physiological functions.  Theaters of Anatomy focuses on the post-Vesalian era, the often-overlooked period in the history of anatomy after the famed Andreas Vesalius left the University of Padua. Drawing on the letters and testimony of Padua's medical students, Klestinec charts a new history of anatomy in the Renaissance, one that characterizes the role of the anatomy theater and reconsiders the pedagogical debates and educational structure behind human dissection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599682478327,"sku":"9781421401423","price":127.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"9781421401485","title":"Palliative Care for Infants, Children, and Adolescents 2\/e","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are few things requiring more expertise, delicacy, and compassion than caring for an infant, child, or young adult with a life-limiting condition.

Fricchione performs masterfully in  Compassion and Healing in Medicine and Society. At the core of this book is a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between evolutionary science and neuroscience. Fricchione theorizes that the cries for attachment made by seriously ill patients reflect an underlying evolutionary tenet called the separation challenge \/ attachment solution process. The pleadings of patients, he explains, are verbal expressions of the history of evolution itself. By exploring the roots of a patient's attachment needs, we come face to face with a critical component of natural selection and the evolutionary process. Medicine engages with the separation challenge \/ attachment solution process on many levels of scientific knowledge and human meaning and healing. Fricchione applies these concepts to medical care and encourages physicians to fully understand them so they can better treat their patients. Compassionate humanistic care promotes physical, emotional, and spiritual healing precisely because it is consonant with how life, the brain, and humanity have evolved. It is therefore not a luxury of modern medical care but an essential part of it. Fricchione advocates an attachment-based medical system, one in which physicians evaluate stress and resiliency and prescribe an integrative treatment plan for the whole person designed to accentuate the propensity to health. There is wisdom in a perennial philosophy based on compassionate love which, Fricchione stresses, the medical community must take advantage of in designing future health care -- and society must appreciate as it faces its separation challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599682642167,"sku":"9781421402208","price":148.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781421402208.jpg?v=1782637460"},{"product_id":"9781421402246","title":"Masculinity Lessons","description":"\u003cp\u003eMasculinity, as both performed and studied, continues to be a particularly productive site for understanding cultural dynamics.

These displays have been lauded as educational, sparked protests, and drawn millions of visitors. This book looks at the powerful sway these corpses hold over their living audiences everywhere.Plastination was invented in the 1970s by German anatomist Gunther von Hagens. The process transforms living tissues into moldable plastic that can then be hardened into a permanent shape. Von Hagens first exhibited his expertly dissected, artfully posed plastinated bodies in Japan in 1995. Since then, his shows have continuously attracted so many paying customers that they have inspired imitators, brought accusations of unethical or even illegal behavior, and ignited vigorous debates among scientists, educators, religious leaders, and law enforcement officials. These lively, thought-provoking, and sometimes personal essays reflect on such public displays from ethical, legal, cultural, religious, pedagogical, and aesthetic perspectives. They examine what lies behind the exhibitions' popularity and explore the ramifications of turning corpses into a spectacle of amusement. Contributions from bioethicists, historians, physicians, anatomists, theologians, and novelists dig deeply into issues that compel, upset, and unsettle us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599682773239,"sku":"9781421402710","price":85.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781421402710.jpg?v=1782637466"},{"product_id":"9781421402420","title":"The Vegetarian Imperative","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe have learned not to take food seriously: we eat as much as we want of what  we want when we want it, and we seldom think about the health and environmental consequences of our choices. But the fact is that every choice we make has an impact on our health and on the environment. In  The Vegetarian Imperative, Anand M. Saxena, a scientist and lifelong vegetarian, explains why we  need to make better choices: for better health, to eliminate world hunger, and, ultimately, to save the planet. Our insatiable appetite for animal-based foods contributes directly to high rates of chronic diseases -- resulting in both illness and death. It also leads to a devastating overuse of natural resources that dangerously depletes the food available for human consumption. The burgeoning population and increasing preference for meat in all parts of the world are stretching planetary resources beyond their limits, and the huge livestock industry is degrading the agricultural land and polluting air and water.Continuing at this pace will bring us to the crisis point in just a few decades -- a reality that threatens not only our current lifestyle but our very survival. This book shows us a way out of this dangerous and vicious cycle, recommending a much-needed shift to a diet of properly chosen plant-based foods.Each of these arguments alone -- personal health, worldwide hunger, and environmental degradation -- provides reason enough to stop consuming so much animal-based food; taken together, they make an unassailable case for vegetarianism.

How does it challenge or reinforce contemporary medicine? How do you assess and address spirituality in clinical practice? How do your own beliefs influence your interactions with patients?

Frank and his field-defining book Persuasion and Healing, this volume of essays by distinguished contemporary scholars broadly assesses the current state of research and practice in psychotherapy. Editors Renato D. Alarcón, a former student of Frank's, and Julia B. Frank, Jerome Frank's daughter and coauthor, bring diverse perspectives to this work. Each chapter, based on one of the themes of Frank's classic book, offers honest critique and fearless criticism of psychotherapy as it has evolved in the twenty-first century. Contributors update classical psychotherapeutic concepts such as demoralization, hope, meaning, rhetoric, and cultural variation and add new insight into how the neuroscience revolution affects our understanding of mental organization and psychotherapy. As Frank did in his own time, these authors challenge the claims made for the specificity or superiority of cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and other varieties of psychotherapy, providing an honest evaluation of the value and limitations of many competing approaches to diagnosis and treatment. They also focus attention on psychotherapies for special populations, including children, people with serious medical illness, and those with culturally and religiously diverse backgrounds. Like Persuasion and Healing, The Psychotherapy of Hope advocates not for any particular approach but for psychotherapy more generally grounded in principles of evolutionary biology, culture, narrative, and behavior change. It provides researchers, theorists, and practitioners of every level of training with a genuinely phenomenological approach to a wide range of psychiatric issues. Echoing Frank's voice, in particular his emphasis on the commonalities of suffering and the therapeutic power of hope, this book offers scholarly wisdom and practical advice on how to understand psychotherapy broadly-and to apply its basic principles to the greatest benefit of patients.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599683002615,"sku":"9781421403045","price":127.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781421403045.jpg?v=1782637470"},{"product_id":"9781421403137","title":"Borderline Personality Disorder","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorderline personality disorder is a severe and complex psychiatric condition that, until recently, many considered nearly untreatable.

Freud considered Rank to be the most brilliant of his disciples. The two collaborated on psychoanalytic writing, practice, and politics; Rank was the managing director of Freud's publishing house; and after several years helping Freud update his masterpiece, The Interpretation of Dreams, Rank contributed two chapters. His was the only other name ever to be listed on the title page. This complete collection of the known correspondence between the two brings to life their twenty-year collaboration and their painful break.The 250 letters between Freud and Rank compiled by E. James Lieberman and Robert Kramer humanize and dramatize psychoanalytic thinking, practice, and organization from 1906 through 1925. The letters concern not just the work and trenchant contemporaneous observations of the two but also their friendships, supporters, rivals, families, travels, and other details about their personal and professional lives. Most interestingly, the letters trace Rank's growing independence, the father-son schism over Rank's ''anti-Oedipal'' heresy, their surprising reconciliation, and the moment when the two parted ways permanently. Presenting a candid picture of how the pioneers of modern psychotherapy behaved with their patients, colleagues, and families, the correspondence between Freud and Rank demonstrates how psychoanalysis grew in relation to early twentieth-century science, art, philosophy, and politics.

Healy recounts the changing definitions of mania through the centuries, explores the effects of new terminology and growing public awareness of the disease on culture and society, and examines the rise of psychotropic treatments and pharmacological marketing over the past four decades. Along the way, Healy clears much of the confusion surrounding bipolar disorder even as he raises crucial questions about how, why, and by whom the disease is diagnosed. Drawing heavily on primary sources and supplemented with interviews and insight gained over Healy's long career, this lucid and engaging overview of mania sheds new light on one of humankind's most vexing ailments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599683395831,"sku":"9781421403977","price":62.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781421403977.jpg?v=1782637483"},{"product_id":"9781421403984","title":"Wrong Place, Wrong Time","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedical school taught John Rich how to deal with physical trauma in a big city hospital but not with the disturbing fact that young black men were daily shot, stabbed, and beaten. This is Rich's account of his personal search to find sense in the juxtaposition of his life and theirs.Young black men in cities are overwhelmingly the victims -- and perpetrators -- of violent crime in the United States. Troubled by this tragedy -- and by his medical colleagues' apparent numbness in the face of it -- Rich, a black man who grew up in relative safety and comfort, reached out to many of these young crime victims to learn why they lived in a seemingly endless cycle of violence and how it affected them. The stories they told him are unsettling -- and revealing about the reality of life in American cities.Mixing his own perspective with their seldom-heard voices, Rich relates the stories of young black men whose lives were violently disrupted -- and of their struggles to heal and remain safe in an environment that both denied their trauma and blamed them for their injuries. He tells us of people such as Roy, a former drug dealer who fought to turn his life around and found himself torn between the ease of returning to the familiarity of life on the violent streets of Boston and the tenuous promise of accepting a new, less dangerous one.Rich's poignant portrait humanizes young black men and illustrates the complexity of a situation that defies easy answers and solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599683428599,"sku":"9781421403984","price":51.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781421403984.jpg?v=1782637485"},{"product_id":"9781421404073","title":"Confronting Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Be informed.

Though the governments of both nations viewed rising levels of opiate use as a problem, Britain and France took opposite courses of action in addressing the issue. The British sanctioned maintenance treatment for addiction, while the French authorities did not hesitate to take legal action against addicts and the doctors who prescribed drugs to them. Howard Padwa draws on primary documents to examine the factors that led to these disparate approaches. He finds that shifts in the composition of drug-using populations of the two countries and a marked divergence in British and French conceptions of citizenship influenced national policies. Beyond shared concerns about public health and morality, Britain and France understood the threat opiate abuse posed to their respective communities differently. Padwa traces the evolution of thinking on the matter in both countries, explaining why Britain took a less adversarial approach to domestic opiate abuse despite the productivity-sapping powers of this social poison, and why the relatively libertine French chose to attack opiate abuse. In the process, Padwa reveals the confluence of changes in medical knowledge, culture, politics, and drug-user demographics throughout the period, a convergence of forces that at once highlighted the issue and transformed it from one of individual health into a societal concern.An insightful look at the development of drug discourses in the nineteenth century and drug policy in the twentieth century,  Social Poison will appeal to scholars and students in public health and the history of medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599683526903,"sku":"9781421404202","price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781421404202.jpg?v=1782637490"},{"product_id":"9781421404080","title":"Confronting Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you are concerned that the cancer in your family is hereditary, you face difficult choices.

The Morehouse School of Medicine was conceived to address both problems and mdash;it was a minority-serving institution educating doctors who would practice in underserved communities.The school's history involves political maneuvering, skilled leadership, dedication to training African American physicians, and a mission of primary care in disadvantaged communities.

When health officials in San Francisco thought they discovered plague in their city's Chinatown in 1900, they responded with intrusive, controlling, and arbitrary measures that touched off a sociocultural clash still relevant today. Guenter B. Risse's history of this epidemic features the tale of desperately ill Wong Chut King, believed to be the initial person infected, and is the first to incorporate the voices of those living in Chinatown at the time. Lasting until 1904, the plague in San Francisco's Chinatown reignited racial prejudices, re-sparked efforts to remove the Chinese from their district, and created new tensions among local, state, and federal public health officials quarreling over the presence of the deadly disease. Risse's rich, nuanced narrative of the event draws from a variety of sources, including Chinese-language news reports and other accounts. He addresses the ecology of Chinatown, the approaches taken by Chinese and Western medical practitioners, and the effects of quarantine plans on Chinatown and its residents. Risse explains how the presence of plague threatened California's agricultural economy and San Francisco's leading commercial role with Asia, discusses why it brought on a wave of fear mongering that drove perceptions and intervention efforts, and describes how Chinese residents organized and successfully opposed government quarantines and evacuation plans in federal court.  In probing public health interventions in the context of one of the most visible ethnic communities in United States history,  Plague, Fear, and Politics in San Francisco's Chinatown offers insight into the clash of Eastern and Western cultures in a time of medical emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49599683920119,"sku":"9781421405100","price":104.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/4630\/9367\/files\/9781421405100.jpg?v=1782637536"},{"product_id":"9781421405483","title":"A Woman's Guide to Living with HIV Infection 2\/e","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten by three experts with extensive experience helping people with HIV\/AIDS, this trusted resource is the complete guide to better physical and emotional health for women living with HIV or AIDS.
