METAMORPHOSiS - A Cancer Journey Through the Mystery of Life
Train Your Brain to Beat Chronic Pain
Psychologist Carly Hunt has devoted her career to understanding chronic pain--what causes it, how it keeps going long after the body has healed from injury or illness, and, most crucially, how sufferers can reclaim their lives. State-of-the-art neuroscientific research reveals suprising new insights into pain as the brain's alarm system, designed to warn us of danger. When that alarm gets stuck in a high-alert mode, Dr. Hunt shows how a range of proven interventions can help sufferers not only cope with pain, but actively reduce it. This concise, practical guide is packed with information about brain training techniques, lifestyle changes that target inflammation and other pain triggers, resources for self-care and support, and conventional and complementary medicine approaches that readers can weave into their own integrative care plan. Freedom from chronic pain is possible--this compassionate book shows how.

Why Black People Die Sooner
There is a persistent gap in life expectancy between Black people and their white counterparts in the United States. It is a direct result of structural racism within American society and has nothing to do with genetic differences. In past eras, scientific racism sought to shift the blame to the supposed physical inferiority of people of African descent. Even today, medicine labors under false beliefs derived from nineteenth-century racial thinking, harming patients who are not of European descent. Why Black People Die Sooner is a powerful and rigorous examination of the ways racism shapes health and disease. Joseph L. Graves Jr. demonstrates that the medical profession still fails to grasp basic facts about race, tracing how deep-rooted falsehoods have perpetuated the disparity between Black and white lifespans. He equips readers with the tools to dispel the fallacies and errors of racialized medicine, including an understanding of evolutionary biology and human biological variation. Graves also debunks common misconceptions about race and health on topics such as high blood pressure, sickle cell disease, the microbiome, infectious diseases, and cancer. Why Black People Die Sooner closes by offering a sweeping vision for dismantling medical racism, from professional training to clinical practice through biomedical research. Timely and bracing, this book reveals why medicine keeps misunderstanding race--and how we can make it change.
