The Pain Epidemic

A Guide to Issues, Symptoms, Treatments, and Wellness

By: Don Goldenberg

Internationally-recognized pain expert Don Goldenberg helps readers better understand the intricacies of chronic pain through the lens of personal stories, including his own. One out of three Americans lives with chronic pain. Pain is the number one reason we seek medical care and accounts for 40% of doctor visits. Chronic pain is the most common cause of work loss world-wide. The yearly cost of chronic pain in the United States is between $560-$630 billion, higher than that of heart disease, diabetes and cancer combined. Despite this, physicians and the public are woefully ill-informed about chronic pain. The litany of self-help books available to the public are largely misleading, quick-fix, junk-science. Although there is a major push to better inform primary health-care providers on chronic pain, they have been provided no authoritative treatment of the subject. The Pain Epidemic provides the latest medical information and pathways to better understanding and treatment of chronic pain. Dr. Don Goldenberg, an internationally known expert on pain, here discusses such hot topics as the opioid epidemic, mind/body interactions in chronic pain, and gender bias, as well as the role of cannabis and new potential pain treatment. Interested readers will come away with not only a better understanding of the pain epidemic but of pain itself.

Perspectives on Behaviour

A Practical Guide to Effective Interventions for Teachers

By: Harry Ayers,Don Clarke,Anne Murray

This book is a practical guide to the following eight perspectives on behaviour: biological - focusing on biological and biochemical processes in accounting for behaviour; behavioural (or behaviourist) - focusing on overt, observable and measurable behaviours and their reinforcement in accounting for behaviour; cognitive (or cognitive-behavioural) - focusing on cognitive processes (beliefs, attitudes, expectations and attributions) in accounting for behaviour; combines both the cognitive and the behavioural perspective; social learning - focusing on observational learning, perceived self-efficacy and expectancies in accounting for behaviour; psychodynamic - focusing on unconscious conflicts in early childhood as accounting for current behaviour; humanistic - focusing on low self-esteem and problems in coping with and exploring feelings in accounting for behaviour; ecosystemic - focusing on positive and negative interactions between teachers and students within the school and those that externally affect the school; these interactions are seen as accounting for behaviour; ecological - focusing on the influence of systems and the environment in accounting for behaviour. The aim of the book is to enable the reader to develop a structured approach to emotional and behavioural problems by drawing on one or more of the above perspectives.

Investor-State Arbitration

By: Christopher F. Dugan,Don Wallace,Noah Rubins,Borzu Sabahi

Investor-State Arbitration describes the increasing importance of international investment and the necessary development of a new field of international law that defines the obligations of host states and creates procedures for resolving disputes. The authors examine the international treaties that allow investors to proceed with the arbitration of their claims, describe the most-commonly employed arbitration rules, and set forth the most important elements of investor-State arbitration procedure - including tribunal composition, jurisdiction, evidence, award, and challenge of annulment. The authors trace the evolution and rapid development of the field of international investment, including the formation of the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), and the more than 2,000 bilateral investment treaties, most of which were entered into in the last twenty years. The authors explain how this development has led to far greater certainty for foreign investors in dealing with their host countries, as well as how it has incentivized growth in international trade and commerce.

Collegiality and the Collegium in an Era of Faculty Differentiation

ASHE Higher Education Report

By: Nathan F. Alleman,Cara Cliburn Allen,Don Haviland

Dramatic shifts in the demographic and labor diversity of American faculty have pressed institutions and the profession to clarify who the real faculty are, from tenured to adjunct faculty. Efforts to equalize respect, resources, and treatment, although laudable, may be missing a vital aspect of the conversation: the role of collegiality and the collegium. Collegiality, the cultural, structural, and behavioral components, and the collegium, or the shared identity collegiality serves, are ancient concepts that raise timely questions for the faculty profession: What is it about the history of the professoriate in America that has rendered the collegium inadequate and yet so important in an age of differentiated labor? How might a renewed vision for collegiality bring clarity to the question of which faculty should be regarded as experts? How can we adapt and leverage these important concepts for a professoriate that is increasingly diverse by demographics and employment category in ways that result in a more inclusive and robust profession? Engaging in these questions through the extant literature will call readers into a compelling new conversation about the needs of and possibilities for the professoriate. This is the fourth issue of the 43rd volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

More than any other psychology textbook, Don and Sandra Hockenbury’s Psychology relates the science of psychology to the lives of the wide range of students taking the introductory course. Now Psychology returns in a remarkable new edition that shows just how well-attuned the Hockenburys are to the needs of today’s students and instructors. Psychology began with a basic idea: combine scientific authority with a narrative that engages students and relates to their lives. From decades of experience teaching, the Hockenburys created a book filled with cutting-edge science and real-life stories that draw students of all kinds into the course.

One People, One Blood

Ethiopian-Israelis and the Return to Judaism

By: Don Seeman

Today, along with those Ethiopians who have been recognized as Jews by the State of Israel, many who are called Feres Mura, the descendants of Ethiopian Jews who have now reasserted their Jewish identity, still await full acceptance in Israel. Since the 1990s, they have sought homecoming through Israel's Law of Return, but have been met with reticence and suspicion on a variety of fronts. This book documents this tenuous relationship and the challenges facing the Feres Mura.

Unravelling Long COVID

By: Don Goldenberg,Marc Dichter

Unravelling Long COVID An authoritative medical reference on the various ways in which Long-COVID presents and an in-depth discussion of its mechanisms and potential therapeutic options. Unravelling Long COVID aims to provide a better awareness and understanding of the persistent health problems that can arise following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Variously described as Long-COVID, Long-Haulers’ Syndrome, and Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2, this newly-designated disorder is estimated to have affected somewhere between 50 to 250 million people. It is in fact considered by many as the next global public health disaster. With such a broad and important topic, the authors of Unravelling Long COVID have focused primarily on two major problems in the current understanding of Long-COVID: 1.) the failure to distinguish patients with organ damage—here called Long-COVID Disease – and those with unexplained, persistent symptoms—what is termed Long-COVID syndrome, and 2.) the failure of current medical approaches to comprehend and treat those persistent unexplained symptoms. Unravelling Long COVID is: One of the first books focused specifically on defining and understanding Long-COVID with the goal of establishing optimal management A unique reference to distinguish patients with organ damage caused by Long-COVID disease from those with unexplained, persistent symptoms that manifest as Long-COVID syndrome An in-depth exploration of neuroimmune pathways to help clarify the previously unexplained symptoms of Long-COVID Unravelling Long COVID isan essential reference for anyone interested in Long-COVID and the impact that this condition has had on the population. It will be a useful resource for both patients suffering from the Long-Covid syndrome, their physicians and for the growing number of Long-COVID clinics that have been established across the US, the UK, and other countries. This book is paired with a long-COVID blog, updated regularly by the authors, so the reader will be kept up to date with new clinical and research findings, in real time.

Freshwater Heritage

A History of Sail on the Great Lakes, 1670-1918

By: Don Bamford

Freshwater Heritage: A History of Sail on the Great Lakes, 1670-1918 represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for sailing and for the history of sail as it applies to Canada. Author/sailor/boat builder Don Bamford takes us deep into the psyche of sailing as it applies to historical events on the Great Lakes and to stories of the people and places there at the time. His extensive historical research takes us back to the time of European contact, through the fate of the luckless Griffon and the achievements of the French in the era of sail. From the 1760s through to 1815, Bamford chronicles the glory years of the brigs, the schooners, the snows and the warships that dominated the lakes during the war years, with a particular emphasis on the War of 1812 and the race for naval domination of the Great Lakes. Much deserving attention is given to the shipbuilders and to the challenges of constructing these vessels in the wilderness of the colonies, all supported by carefully researched detail. Bamford also documents the critical role played by sailing vessels in the settlement process as newly arrived immigrants struggled to establish a home in a new land. The commercial role of sail on the Great Lakes is captured through the refinements to the schooners, the place of ships in the fur trade, the early days of fishing the lakes as an industry, the role of the timber droghers, the stone hookers and the first ore carriers of the first part of the 20th century. Never before has the place of sailing vessels in the early history of Canada’s Great Lakes been so inclusive, and made so accessible to the general reader. Richly illustrated with archival visuals and photographs of significant works of art, and supported by a full index and extensive end matter, Freshwater Heritage is a must for both the armchair historian and those who love to sail.

The Social World of Deuteronomy

A New Feminist Commentary

By: Don C Benjamin

The book of Deuteronomy is not an orphan. It belongs to a diverse family of legal traditions and cultures in the world of the Bible. The Social World of Deuteronomy: A New Feminist Commentary brings these traditions and cultures to life and uses them to enrich our understanding and appreciation of Deuteronomy today. Don C. Benjamin uses social-scientific criticism to reconstruct the social institutions where Deuteronomy developed, as well as those that appear in its traditions. He uses feministcriticism to better understand and appreciate how powerful elite males in Deuteronomy view not only the women, daughters, mothers, wives and widows in their households but also their powerless children, liminal people, slaves, prisoners, outsiders, livestock and nature. Through the lens of feminist theory, Benjamin explores important aspects of the daily lives of these often overlooked peoples in ancient Israel.

Don Perry Produced The Music

My Journey Through The Golden Years Of Rock and Roll

By: Don Perry

Don Perry was an “eye-witness” to the birth of Rock and Roll. When Elvis Presley arrived, Rock and Roll exploded and Don knew he wanted to be a part of it. In 1963, he sold his car and armed with enough money to last six months, headed to Hollywood to become a Rock star. Surely that would be enough time. That six months stretched to nearly thirty years and as Rock evolved and changed, so did Don’s career. “Don Perry Produced The Music” traces his journey as a singer/songwriter, recording engineer, record producer, manager, concert promoter and finally, music supervisor for film and TV. It also traces the golden years of Rock and Roll and how they shaped every step of the way.

The Faith Factor in Fatherhood

Renewing the Sacred Vocation of Fathering

By: David Blankenhorn,Don E. Eberly

Edited by founder and chairman of the National Fatherhood Initiative Don Eberly, The Faith Factor in Fatherhood addresses the key role that religious institutions can play in reviving what Eberly calls the 'sacred vocation of fatherhood.' In response to the wider debate regarding the increased expectations that are being placed by policy makers on faith-based institutions to serve important public purposes, contributors to this volume guide denominations, places of worship, and religious social agencies to recover the role they once played in reaching and supporting young men with a message of responsible fatherhood. Ecumenical in scope, the book addresses what each faith community can do to recover its particular heritage of engaged, involved fathering, through methods including instruction, rites of passage programs, stories, ceremonies, mentoring, and community outreach.

History's Assassins

Motives for Murder

By: Don Mann

A fact-based book that highlights political assassins in history. The book includes the stories of the assassins rather than just their famous victims. The book dissects selected political assassinations and and why the assassins acted; detail stheir political goals, addresses why they chose the methods they chose, and describes the ultimate outcome of the assassination. In many cases, the assassinations were not effective and actually worked against the stated goals of the assassins. People of questionable sanity and cases where the act was strictly personal are not included. For the more modern subjects, there is supporting documentation with detailed accounts written at the time in question. However, with some of the historic cases, specifics on methodology, coconspirators, etc. are not well known or there are conflicting accounts. In such cases, reasoned dramatizations tare used o ensure the stories are entertaining to the reader as well as educational.The book is organized chronologically with examples from Ancient Persia and Rome and ending with several of the 19th and 20th Centuries’ high profile assassinations. The assassins and the victims are representative of men and women, and eastern and western civilizations.

Dolley Madison Saves George Washington

By: Don Brown

Dolley was a farm girl who became a fine first lady when she married James Madison. She wore beautiful dresses, decorated her home, and threw lavish parties. Everyone talked about Dolley, and everyone loved her, too. Then war arrived at her doorstep, and Dolley had to meet challenges greater than she’d ever known. So Dolley did one thing she thought might make a difference: she saved George Washington. Not the man himself, but a portrait of him, which would surely have been destroyed by English soldiers. Don Brown once again deftly tells a little known story about a woman who made a significant contribution to American history.

Military Moments Ww Ii

By: Don Saunders,Mel Saunders

American civilians who were on the home front during World War II would each have different stories to tell. With most, almost certainly their stories would not be as dramatic as the stories of many of those who lived in the battle zones of Europe and the Far East. Despite the difference, there would be many moving stories to tell of Americans who lost loved ones or received them home wounded or tarnished in some way by the war. Our parents welcomed us home untarnished, but changed by our experiences. Our stories range from the intense action of combat flying that Don experienced to the more ordinary action of flight training that both of us went through. We hope that the older reader will find in this book some things familiar to their experiences, and to those who were not living during this period in our history, may they find some of the limited history in this book to be of interest to them.

Macrowikinomics

New Solutions for a Connected Planet

By: Don Tapscott,Anthony D. Williams

In their bestseller Wikinomics, Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams showed the world how mass collaboration was changing the way businesses communicate, create value, and compete in the new global marketplace. This sequel shows that in more than a dozen fields—from finance to health care, science to education, the media to the environment—we have reached a historic turning point. Collaborative innovation is revolutionizing not only the way we work, but how we live, learn, create, govern, and care for one another. The wiki revolutions of the Arab Spring were only one example of how rebuilding civilization was not only possible but necessary. With vivid examples from diverse sectors, Macrowikinomics is a handbook for people everywhere seeking a transformation of industry and institutions by embracing a new set of guiding principles, including openness and interdependence. Tapscott and Williams argue that this new communications medium, like the printing press before it, is enabling nothing less than the birth of a new civilization.

Fight Your Fear and Win

Seven Skills for Performing Your Best Under Pressure--At Work, In Sports, On Stage

By: Dr. Don Greene

We’ve all been there: that make-it-or-break-it moment of our careers—on the brink of a deal, poised at the starting gate, under the spotlight waiting to speak or perform in front of our peers. At this point, where everything seems to be on the line, most of us experience one overriding reaction-fear-and this fear can have negative physical, mental, and emotional consequences on how well we do our job. Don Greene, Ph.D., a renowned sports psychologist, teacher at the Juilliard School, and "stress" coach to top executives and entertainers, has spent decades studying fear and its effect on performance. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Greene shares the proven techniques he has used with Olympic athletes, Grand Prix drivers, the Vail Ski School, Golf Digest Schools, the New World Symphony, and Merrill Lynch traders to help them perform their best under pressure. In his years of working with Olympic and professional athletes, network news anchors, classical musicians, actors, dancers, trial attorneys, brokers, and CEOs, Dr. Greene discovered that there were certain commonalities in people's responses to high-pressure situations. Untrained, these individuals' reactions were allowing fear to take over and affect decision-making, poise, and display of skill. But Dr. Greene found that by applying methods such as the centering technique, these same people could work through their fear and perform better than ever before. Fight Your Fear and Win begins with a self-assessment performance survey that will allow you to pinpoint your own reactions to stress: how you handle distractions, how you are affected by nervousness, your mental outlook, your response to fear, and your ability to bounce back from failure. After completing this self-assessment, the book takes you through the seven essential skills required for optimal performance: 1.Determination 2.Energy 3.Perspective 4.Courage 5.Focus 6.Poise 7.Resilience Interspersed with true stories from Greene's wide variety of experiences training everyone from the San Diego S.W.A.T. team to singers at the Metropolitan Opera, each chapter includes a series of mental and physical exercises that will help you track your progress. This simple twenty-one-day plan will make a profound difference in the way you approach challenging situations, and allow you to think more clearly and creatively under pressure. Whether you are giving a closing argument in a courtroom, making a presentation at work, auditioning for a role, or stepping up to the first tee, Fight Your Fear and Win is the ultimate tool to conquering your fear and achieving success when you need it most.

Inclusive Collegiality and Nontenure-Track Faculty

Engaging All Faculty as Colleagues to Promote Healthy Departments and Institutions

By: Don Haviland,Nathan F. Alleman,Cara Cliburn Allen,Jenny Jacobs

This book focuses on the status and work of full-time non-tenure-track faculty (NTTF) whose ranks are increasing as tenure track faculty (TTF) make up a smaller percentage of the professoriate. NTTF experience highly uneven and conditional access to collegiality, are often excluded from decision-making spaces, and receive limited respect from their TTF colleagues because of outdated notions that link perceived expertise almost exclusively to scholarship. The result is often a sub-class of faculty marginalized in their departments, which reduces the inclusion of diverse voices in academic governance, professional relationships, and student learning. Given these implications, the authors ask, how can departments, institutions, and the profession do more to engage NTTF as full and active colleagues? The limited access of NTTF to the rights and responsibilities of collegiality harms institutional success in several ways. Given the full-time nature of their work and the heavy (but not exclusive) focus on instruction, NTTF are likely to be on campus as much or more than TTF, and thus be engaged with students, colleagues, and administrators in ways that more closely resemble TTF than part-time faculty. Their limited access to collegial spaces makes it harder for them to do their jobs by restricting access to information and input into decision-making. Moreover, since the greatest growth among women faculty and faculty of color is in NTTF roles, their exclusion from collegiality and decision-making negates the very diversity the profession claims to seek. Finally, colleges and universities face financial, curricular, and organizational challenges which require broad input, although the burden of governance is falling on fewer shoulders as the percentage of TTF declines and NTTF are excluded from these spaces.Ultimately, NTTF must be engaged as partners and colleagues in supporting institutional health. This book – the fruit of extensive data collection at two institutions over a five-year period – describes lessons learned from and benefits experienced by departments that have successfully supported and engaged NTTF as colleagues. Drawing on their research data and analysis of “healthy” departments that integrate NTTF, the authors identify the practices, policies, and approaches that support NTTF inclusion, shape a more positive workplace environment, improve morale, satisfaction, and commitment, and fully leverage the expertise of NTTF and the valuable human capital they represent. The authors argue that this more inclusive collegiality improves governance, supports institutional success, and serves diverse institutional missions. Though primarily addressed to institutional leaders, department chairs, tenure-line faculty, and leaders in the academic profession, it is hoped that the findings will be useful to NTTF who are engaged as advocates for and partners in the change process required to address the evolving structure of the university faculty.

A Marketing Approach to Physician Recruitment

By: James O. Hacker,Don C. Dodson,M. Thane Forthman

A Marketing Approach to Physician Recruitment is a how-to manual designed to assist hospitals in the physician recruitment process, or to enhance already existing recruitment programs. Given the ever-changing status on health care reform, hospital administrators and physicians are faced with the challenge of meeting the growing needs of patients, as well as their own internal priorities. In order to survive, the medical profession as a whole must make the commitment to identify the needs of the community it serves, while integrating the activities and roles of departments, boards and staff. In the past, physician recruitment has tended to itself. As part of a competitive system, neither the individual provider nor the medical group can afford to ignore its physician profile. This book is aware of the needs of today's hospitals and presents a program to facilitate the process of recruiting physicians. The authors provide the reader with a step-by-step physician recruiting process. They include additional materials to support the recruiting process. The book is comprised of four sections. The process section provides organization for the recruitment program by assisting readers with creating a written plan. The resources section facilitates that plan's effectiveness by providing information for developing pro forms, community support, letters, tracking forms, incentive packages, and legal documents. The reference section lists organizations, contact names, addresses, and phone numbers needed for recruiting. A Marketing Approach to Physician Recruitment is the only book of its kind. Hospitals can use it to develop a practical and proven process for recruiting physicians. It is an effective tool for meeting the needs of patients and physicians alike.

Remembrances and other Observations

By: don david Calderon y Aroesty

Reflections by Dr. Sofija Grandakovska, Professor, CUNY, on the book Remembrances and Other Observations This book, first and foremost, is committed to the importance of remembering the past and its careful preservation at the gates of oblivion. The importance is emphasized in plural form: “remembrances.” It is not one story; it is more than fifty varied short stories. The author recognizes the multilayered and polyvalent existence of remembering. It is personal and collective. It is mythical, genealogical, literary, historical, and anthropological. Short stories were written as prose poems. Although we cannot qualify these prose forms as typical short stories in a literary genre context, they qualify as short stories because they each reflect an event, history, and truth about the overarching event: the Holocaust. The author, don david Calderon y. Aroesty, chooses poetic prose to guide the readers through the tragic dimensions of the Holocaust by cherry-picking some exceptional heroes, heroines, and gratifying events through the duality of poetry and prose without solid metrical patterns but with rhythmic moderation of poetic expression. Remembrances come alive as a coherent and legitimate whole. No description of the criminality, suffering, and sadness would ever be sufficient. The author does not forget the bleakness and the horrors while challenging all of us to remember the shining lights, the occasional rays of human sunshine, extraordinary courage, and amazing bravery exhibited by some. The hybrid linguistic form becomes clear and legitimate, highlighted at the very beginning of the volume in the qualifications section where he asks the question and expresses his suspicion: How dare me, dare to write about the Holocaust? Who am I? The first philosophical question, which he answers with a dare to all of us to each undertake to study, learn, and write about the Holocaust. This is where the message of the book is strongly positioned. It is a message of deep humanistic, anthropological, and historical significance. Dr. Grandakovska teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Department of Anthropology where her areas of specialization are comparative literature and interdisciplinary studies in the Holocaust and Jewish history. She served as one of the advisers to the author’s book of remembrances.

Teedie

The Story of Young Teddy Roosevelt

By: Don Brown

Teedie was not exactly the stuff of greatness: he was small for his size. Delicate. Nervous. Timid. By the time he was ten years old, he had a frail body and weak eyes. He was deviled by asthma, tormented by bullies. His favorite place to be was at home. Some might think that because of these things, Teedie was destined for a ho-hum life. But they would be wrong. For teeedie had a strong mind, as well as endless curiosity and determination. Is that all? No. Teedie also had ideas of his own--lots of them. It wasn't long before the world knew him as Theodore Roosevelt, the youngest president of the United States.
