Download or read book Men at Risk written by Shari L. Dworkin and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents a unique approach to HIV prevention at the intersection of sociological and public health research Although the first AIDS cases were attributed to men having sex with men, over 70% of HIV infections worldwide are now estimated to occur through sex between women and men. In Men at Risk, Shari L. Dworkin argues that the centrality of heterosexual relationship dynamics to the transmission of HIV means that both women and men need to be taken into account in gender-specific HIV/AIDS prevention interventions. She looks at the “costs of masculinity” that shape men’s HIV risks, such as their initiation of sex and their increased status from sex with multiple partners. Engaging with the common paradigm in HIV research that portrays only women—and not heterosexually active men—as being “vulnerable” to HIV, Dworkin examines the gaps in public health knowledge that result in substandard treatment for HIV transmission and infection among heterosexual men both domestically and globally. She examines a vast array of structural factors that shape men’s HIV transmission risks and also focuses on a relatively new category of global health programs with men known as “gender-transformative” that seeks to move men in the direction of gender equality in the name of improved health. Dworkin makes suggestions for the next generation of gender-transformative health interventions by calling for masculinities-based and structurally driven HIV prevention programming. Thoroughly researched and theoretically grounded, Men at Risk presents a unique approach to HIV prevention at the intersection of sociological and public health research.
Download or read book Men Masculinities 2 volumes written by Michael S. Kimmel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-12-11 with total page 920 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first encyclopedia to analyze, summarize, and explain the complexities of men's lives and the idea of modern manhood. The process of "making masculinity visible" has been going on for over two decades and has produced a prodigious and interesting body of work. But until now the subject has had no authoritative reference source. Men & Masculinities, a pioneering two-volume work, corrects the oversight by summarizing the latest historical, biological, cross-cultural, psychological, and sociological research on the subject. It also looks at literature, art, and music from a gender perspective. The contributors are experts in their specialties and their work is directed, organized, and coedited by one of the premier scholars in the field, Michael Kimmel. The coverage brings together for the first time considerable knowledge of men and manhood, focusing on such areas as sexual violence, intimacy, pornography, homophobia, sports, profeminist men, rituals, sexism, and many other important subjects. Clearly, this unique reference is a valuable guide to students, teachers, writers, policymakers, journalists, and others who seek a fuller understanding of gender in the United States.

Download or read book Older Men s Lives written by Edward H. Thompson (Jr.) and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1994-06-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive exploration on the subject of older men, Older Men's Lives offers a multidisciplinary portrait of men and their concerns in later life. Using both a life-course and gendered perspective, the contributors to this collection of original articles point out that the image and self-image of men are continuously reconstructed over the life cycle. They examine older men's position in society and the changes wrought in their status and roles over time. Their relationship with their spouses, children, grandchildren, and friends are also explored, as are policy implications of a gendered, life-cycle view of masculinity. This volume also discusses faith development in older men, masculinity identity from work to retirement, older men's sexuality, and older men's friendship patterns. Older Men's Lives will be of interest to professionals and students interested in gender, men's studies, gerontology, and sociology. "This book begins to remedy the lack of information and provides data and research on aging men. . . .The strength of this book is the specificity of its focus. By focusing solely on male concerns the book is able to identify issues in the male aging process and discuss them on their own terms rather than simply as a contrast to females." --Clinical Gerontologist

But food products come and go. So if there is a frozen entrée or soup selection in this diet that is out of stock, or that's been discontinued, or perhaps you don't like, or that you forgot to pick up while shopping, please substitute another food that has approximately the same caloric value and nutritional content. In addition, frozen entrée and soup ingredients sometimes are changed by the manufacturer without notice and without changing the product's name but the calorie count may have been increased or decreased. So make sure you check the calories noted on the food or soup container, and if the calorie value is different than shown in this book make an allowance for the calorie difference or substitute another frozen entrée or soup. In this regard, many dieters have found the many frozen foods and soups listed in the Appendices at the end of this book to be helpful.

Download or read book Americans Anonymous written by Mel K and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several decades, Americans have become increasingly aware that the people of this nation no longer determine its destiny, despite the intentions our founding fathers made clear in our founding documents. The two-party system has become a weapon used by those in power to maintain the dysfunctional status quo in Washington and on Wall Street. This system has revealed itself to be steeped in corruption, covert agendas, and a fast-evolving surveillance state. As overwhelming as it may seem at times, we are not helpless—in fact, there is a lot of hope. People all over this nation, across all boundaries and divisions, are awakening with a sense of duty and purpose to become active participants rather than sideline players in determining the future of this country. This requires a reframing and a reimagining of our relationship with our government, our fellow citizens, and ourselves. The key to reclaiming our republic lies not in any politician or party, but in the untapped potential of patriotic individuals like you. Americans Anonymous is your guidebook for igniting a peaceful revolution of personal responsibility, civic engagement, and local action on a national scale. Within these pages, you’ll discover: · The forgotten history of how our nation’s founders envisioned a government of, by, and for the people · How to break free from the “us vs. them” tribalism that keeps us divided and powerless · Strategies for holding elected officials accountable and navigating the political system as an empowered citizen · The transformative power of living your values and leading by example in your community · How to build resilient local networks and become an effective advocate for liberty in your daily life · Why decentralization, self-sufficiency, and voluntary cooperation are antidotes to the growth of digital tyranny and totalitarian social control. This book is a call to action for every American who still believes in the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If you’re ready to stop waiting for someone else to fix our problems and start being part of the solution, Americans Anonymous will show you the way.

Download or read book Preventing AIDS written by Ralph J. DiClemente and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public health has a legacy of neglect regarding social and behavioral research. Too often, prompted by technical and scientific progress, we have ignored even marginalized-the vital "human element" in health thinking and prac tice. Thus, for example, while family planning programs focused on providing a choice among safe and effective contraceptive methods (a supremely worthy goal), the central issue of sexuality and sexual behavior was generally neglected. Similarly, the enormous and important efforts to develop rapid and reliable diagnostic and treatment methods for sexually transmitted diseases helped divert attention away from the crucial issues of sexual practice. In short, we seem to have difficulty addressing the fundamental behaviors-including sex, drug taking and other intoxications, and violence-that are central to the major causes of preventable morbidity, disability, and premature mortality in the world today. Our collective reluctance to examine and understand ourselves is also expressed in the oft-repeated pipedream that scientific progress will "take care of" the HIV / AIDS pandemic by delivering a preventive vaccine, an effective cure, or both. Yet even a cursory glance at the relationship between scientific/ technical progress and health shows that meeting the scientific challenges is only one step toward effective application of the vaccine or drug. It is typical, not atypical, that hepatitis B vaccine is only now becoming relatively freely available to large populations in the developing world, more than a decade after the vaccine's licensure.
