La mente bien ajardinada: Las ventajas de vivir al ritmo de las plantas
Par Sue Stuart-Smith. 2020
Una maravillosa exploración del jardín como lugar mental y de los poderes de la naturaleza. Un jardín es un refugio…
ideal para huir del ajetreo del mundo y conectar con la naturaleza. Sin embargo, sabemos muy poco sobre los verdaderos beneficios de la jardinería. Investigaciones recientes demuestran que, cuando la practican, los presos tienen menos probabilidades de reincidir, los jóvenes en riesgo de exclusión tienden a perseverar en el sistema educativo y los ancianos viven más y mejor. Repleto de curiosidades científicas y emocionantes historias humanas, La mente bien ajardinada es una poderosa combinación de neurociencia, literatura, historia y psicoanálisis que indaga en el secreto que muchos jardineros conocen desde siempre: el contacto con la naturaleza puede transformar radicalmente nuestra salud y nuestra autoestima. Sue Stuart-Smith, distinguida psiquiatra, apasionada jardinera y brillante narradora, entreteje ejemplos como el papel clave de la horticultura para su abuelo tras la Primera Guerra Mundial, la obsesión de Freud por las flores y curiosas historias clínicas de sus propios pacientes. Con todo ello, nos convence de hasta qué punto puede influirnos la conexión con los ciclos de la naturaleza (en los que, tras la descomposición, brota de nuevo la vida), de las muchas formas en que la mente y el jardín interactúan y de la idea de que hundir nuestras manos en la tierra puede ser un modo de cuidarnos a nosotros mismos. La crítica ha dicho:«Sin duda el libro sobre jardinería más original de todos los tiempos.»The Sunday Times «Una investigación elegante y completa que muestra lo enriquecedor que es para la mente cambiar la pantalla por el verde. Nos ha hecho un gran favor al escribir este libro.»The Observer «Bellamente escrito y repleto de revelaciones sobre el placer y los beneficios del cuidado de las plantas. Inspirador.»The Guardian «Mezcla de horticultura, literatura e historia, es un libro edificante, alimento para el alma.»The Times «Una fascinante asociación entre la ciencia de la psiquiatría y el antiguo arte de la jardinería.»Financial Times «Un logro impresionante. Este sí que es un libro optimista.»The Spectator «Convincente y conmovedor, muestra hasta qué punto nuestro bienestar depende del contacto con la jardinería y la naturaleza. Léanlo.»Edmund De Waal «El libro más inteligente que he leído en muchos años. Un relato convincente de cómo las mentes atribuladas pueden reconectarse consigo mismas y recuperar la confianza a través de la naturaleza. Muy recomendable.»Stephen FryThe Climate is Changing, Why Aren't We?: A practical guide to how you can make a difference

Par Lisa Woodruff. 2020
We are drowning in paper. We keep stacks of it on the kitchen counter, stash it in drawers, and stuff…
file cabinets full of documents (just one file cabinet can hold 18,000 sheets of paper - yikes). Despite this clear crisis of paper, there hasn't been a book devoted to managing and organizing this single most abundant item in our homes - until now.In The Paper Solution, Lisa Woodruff delivers a proven, step-by-step guide to decluttering the paper in our lives and sorting what's left behind into easily accessible, structured, and, most importantly, manageable files. The system Woodruff offers isn't based on unrealistic advice, such as 'touch a piece of paper only once'. Instead, it accounts for paper's unique qualities: its sentimental value, ability to accumulate astonishingly fast, the generational differences in how it's treated, and the fact that it's not going anywhere despite the popularity of minimalism movements such as Kon Mari. Woodruff's approach is doable, effective, and compassionate.Much more than simply cleaning out your files, The Paper Solution will help you organize your paperwork with a purpose-removing the heavy burden of a chaotic mess and giving you the space and time to enjoy what you love and discover a sense of peace.Betty: The International Bestseller

into you'Naoise Dolan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Exciting Times 'I felt consumed by this book. I loved it, you will love it' Daisy Johnson, Booker Prize shortlisted author of Everthing Under'I loved Betty: I fell for its strong characters and was moved by the story it portrayed' Fiona Mozley, Booker Prize shortlisted author of Elmet 'A girl comes of age against the knife.' So begins the story of Betty Carpenter. Born in a bathtub in 1954 to a Cherokee father and white mother, Betty is the sixth of eight siblings. The world they inhabit is one of poverty and violence - both from outside the family and also, devastatingly, from within. When her family's darkest secrets are brought to light, Betty has no choice but to reckon with the brutal history hiding in the hills, as well as the heart-wrenching cruelties and incredible characters she encounters in her rural town of Breathed, Ohio.Despite the hardship she faces, Betty is resilient. Her curiosity about the natural world, her fierce love for her sisters and her father's brilliant stories are kindling for the fire of her own imagination, and in the face of all she bears witness to, Betty discovers an escape: she begins to write.A heartbreaking yet magical story, Betty is a punch-in-the-gut of a novel - full of the crushing cruelty of human nature and the redemptive power of words. 'Not a story you will soon forget' Karen Joy Fowler, Booker Prize shortlisted author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves 'Shot through with moonshine, Bible verses, and folklore, Betty is about the cruelty we inflict on one another, the beauty we still manage to find, and the stories we tell in order to survive' Eowyn Ivey, author of The Snow ChildZero Waste Kids

Par Tobias Warnecke, Rainer Dziewas, Susan Langmore. 2021
This book is a clinical manual that covers the whole spectrum of swallowing and its disorders. It starts with physiology…
of swallowing, pathophysiology of disordered deglutition, diagnostic methods (clinical and instrumental) and ends with an in-depth’s and up-to-date presentation of current treatment options. The clinically most relevant topics of dysphagia management on the stroke unit and the intensive care unit are dealt with in separate chapters. Also the closely intertwined issue of nutritional management is specifically addressed. Most importantly, the book covers all obligatory topics of the Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)-curriculum, an educational initiative that started in Germany in 2014 and is currently being extended to other European and non-European countries. The book is richly illustrated and an online video section provides a number of typical patient cases. FEES is probably the most commonly chosen method for the objective assessment of swallowing and its disorders. It is used in stroke units, intensive care facilities, geriatric wards but also in rehabilitation clinics and within dedicated outpatient services. This book on neurogenic dysphagia therefore addresses a wide range of different medical disciplines, such as neurologists, geriatricians, intensive care physicians, rehabilitation physicians, gastroenterologists, otolaryngologists, phoniatrists and also speech-language pathologists.Guide de Sécurité de Votre Maison: Protéger votre maison et famille avec des systèmes de sécurité, caméras, alarmes et automatisation.

Par The Xerces Society. 2021
The plight of the monarch butterfly has captured public attention and sparked widespread interest in helping to save their dwindling…
populations. In this in-depth portrait of the monarch butterfly—covering its life cycle, its remarkable relationship with milkweed, its extraordinary migration, and the threats it now faces due to habitat loss and climate change—detailed instructions on how to design and create monarch-friendly landscapes are enriched by guidance on observing and understanding butterfly behavior and habits. Following the model of their previous best-selling book, 100 Plants to Feed the Bees, the Xerces Society provides at-a-glance profiles of the plant species that provide monarchs with nourishment. The plants, which are all commercially available, range from dozens of species of milkweed—the only food of monarch caterpillars—to numerous flowering plants, shrubs, and trees that provide nectar for the adult butterfly, including those that bloom in late season and sustain monarchs in their great migration. Gorgeous photographs of monarchs and plants, plus illustrations, maps, and garden plans, make this a visually engaging guide.Emergency General Surgery in Geriatrics (Hot Topics in Acute Care Surgery and Trauma)
Par Rifat Latifi, Fausto Catena, Federico Coccolini. 2021
There is a growing need for a book on emergency general surgery in the elderly, as adults age 65 and…
older are the fastest growing segment of the population worldwide, and their number is expected to double to 89 million between now and 2050. Based on these changing demographics, it is expected that there will be a concurrent rise in the demand for a variety of surgical services, including vascular surgery (with a projected growth of 31%) and general surgery (with a projected growth of 18%), as well as in all sub-disciplines of surgery (thoracic, cardiac, oncology, hepatobiliary, transplant, plastic colorectal, orthopedic, gynecologic, urology and neurosurgery).In addition, older surgical patients often require a different level of care than younger patients during the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases. Many of our geriatric population have multiple chronic illnesses beyond the one for which surgery is required, and therefore are prone to developing postoperative complications, functional decline, loss of independence, and other undesirable outcomes. In response, this book offers surgeons, geriatrists and nurses state-of-the-art surgical approaches and essential information on the complex perioperative care of the elderly.Dese la oportunidad y equípese con recursos que le ayuden a vivir una vida plena y fructífera a cualquier edad…
