This extraordinary text for undergraduate urban students is a reflection of Mark Hutter’s academic interests in urban sociology and his life-long passion for experiencing city life. His deep academic roots in the Chicago School of Sociology help inform and appreciate the variety of urban structures and processes and their effect on the everyday lives of people living in cities. This text, however, extends the Chicago School perspective by combining its traditions with a social psychological perspective derived from symbolic interaction and also with a macro-level examination of social organization, social change, stratification and power in the urban context, informed by political economy. This entirely new, 3rd Edition has a global outlook on city life, and a visual presentation unmatched among books in this genre.

With approximately 40 percent of men and women in the United States being diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime, very few of us escape having cancer touch our lives in some way--whether it is our own life or that of a loved one.

Supported by extensive research and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Stengler and Dr. Anderson thoroughly explain: • the different types of cancer and their causes • how proper nutrition can help to prevent and treat cancer • the most well-studied supplements to use with cancer treatment • cutting-edge naturopathic therapies, and • natural solutions to common problems, such as the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation With a clear and focused approach, Dr. Stengler and Dr. Anderson provide a definitive and comprehensive resource for anyone seeking to heal from cancer or a professional looking for the most cutting, up-to-date integrative approaches to treatment.
It is widely acknowledged that we have a duty to protect the environment. Yet, current environmental policy discussions demonstrate that fulfilling this in practice is a difficult, complex, and costly task. There are many ethical questions arising from such discussions. Should we care about the environment because it is economically valuable or because nature has intrinsic value? How do we establish an ethical trade-off between our current needs and those of future generations? Should we protect individual species or entire ecosystems instead? What way should we discuss societal values and ideals, or should scientific analysis take precedence within decision making practice? This book aims to tackle some of these thorny sustainability issues and responds to them with a cohesive, original alternative in the form of the precautionary ecosystem health principle (PEHP). It provides a detailed philosophical approach and advocates that a PEHP approach is able to overcome many of these stark and challenging difficulties within sustainability theory and environmental policy.

Here is a medical doctor's drug-free, individualized program for defeating depression--with an extraordinary 90 percent success rate. Gabriel Cousens, M.D., shows how to heal depression safely at the biochemical level, synergistically rebalancing what he calls "the natural drugs of the brain" through a highly effective five-step program of mood-boosting substances (which occur naturally in the body and are even more effective than herbs such as St. John's wort), vitamin and mineral supplements, and a mood-enbancing diet and lifestyle. A seven-day menu plan and thirty savory but simple recipes give readers a jump start on feeling great. Dr. Cousens, an Ivy League-trained physician, has based his groundbreaking program on the fundamental truth that not all depressions are alike and they do not always have the same physical or mental causes. Research shows that positive mood depends on much more than just the neurotransmitter serotonin. Restoring~ the delicate balance among many body chemicals--including amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose levels--is essential in order to return us to our natural state of joyous health. Through easy self-assessments, readers discern their unique depression profiles and learn how to customize Dr. Cousens's program to fit their biochemical needs. Grounded in cutting-edge science yet accessible and safe, Depression-Free for Life shows how you can correct your personal biochemistry and regain optimism, energy, and joy in life, which are every person's birthright. Recent bestsellers (The Arthritis Cure, Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health) prove the public's interest in finding medically safe, natural cures for common ailments. Now Dr. Gabriel Cousens, an Ivy League-trained physician, shares his drug-free program for helping the millions who suffer from depression. This is the first program to acknowledge that all depression is not alike--it has multiple and often surprising physical causes. Readers learn to customize Dr. Cousens's program to fit their unique depression profile, rebalancing what Dr. Cousens calls "the natural drugs of the brain" through his highly effective combination of amino acid therapy (which may soon supplant milder herbs such as St. John's wort), vitamin and mineral supplementation, and diet and lifestyle changes. Unlike drug therapy, which only soothes symptoms, Depression-Free for Life actually repairs depression at its biological source, restoring our control and joy in life.Recent bestsellers (The Arthritis Cure, Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health) prove the public's interest in finding medically safe, natural cures for common ailments.
