Book excerpt: Buying the safest car for your family shouldn’t be up for debate. Yet for decades, car safety advocates, manufacturers, and lawmakers in the United States have clashed over whether to make automobiles safer. All sides armed themselves with data in the hopes of winning the great car safety debates. In this way, crash statistics and the analysts who studied them made history. But data were always in the backseat, merely supporting different points of view. That is, until now. With car safety, it’s the value we place on every human life that counts. Automobile safety expert Dr. Norma Faris Hubele delivers a lively discussion of the role data play in protecting you and your family on the road.

Download or read book Revival Hallelujah written by Paul Juby and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2012-05-17 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REVIVAL, HALLELUJAH! presents a collection of evangelical poems by author Paul Juby as a personal message to unbelievers, fencesitters, pastors, church leaders, and congregations. Church leaders are wonderfully dedicated people, yet their churches are often lacking in members. They need the Holy Spirit to awaken in them the need to evangelize, to bring people to accept Jesus, and to save lives. Revival can be accomplished through enthusiasm that is contagious and sets each church and congregation on fireby telling people gently but firmly that they need to move into action for Jesus. A dedicated worship leader can read the poems from Revival, Hallelujah! to their congregations as they worship together. Too often people talk of revival as impossible, but God delights in impossibilities. These poems can help to spur anyone into action who might be hesitating.

Author Carrie Arnold, a trained scientist, science writer, and past sufferer of anorexia, speaks with clinicians, researchers, parents, other family members, and sufferers about the factors that make one vulnerable to anorexia, the neurochemistry behind the call of starvation, and why it’s so hard to leave anorexia behind. She also addresses: • How environment is still important and influences behaviors • The characteristics of people at high risk for developing anorexia nervosa • Why anorexics find starvation “rewarding” • Why denial is such a salient feature, and how sufferers can overcome it Carrie also includes interviews with key figures in the field who explain their work and how it contributes to our understanding of anorexia. Long thought to be a psychosocial disease of fickle teens, this book alters the way anorexia is understood and treated and gives patients, their doctors, and their family members hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jim Crimmins explains what really drives human behavior. For anyone who hopes to influence what people do or what they buy, Jim's book is required reading." —Keith Reinhard, chairman emeritus of DDB Worldwide and a member of the Advertising Hall of Fame 7 Secrets of Persuasion is the first book to take the latest scientific insights about the mind and apply them to the art of persuasion.

Download or read book Women at the Wheel written by Katherine J. Parkin and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Ford Model T became a vehicle for the masses, the automobile has served as a symbol of masculinity. The freedom of the open road, the muscle car's horsepower, the technical know-how for tinkering: all of these experiences have largely been understood from the perspective of the male driver. Women, in contrast, were relegated to the passenger seat and have been the target of stereotypes that portray them as uninterested in automobiles and, more perniciously, as poor drivers. In Women at the Wheel, Katherine J. Parkin illuminates the social implications of these stereotypes and shows how they have little basis in historical reality. With chapters on early driver's education and licensing programs, and on buying, driving, and caring for cars, she describes a rich cast of characters, from Mary Landon, the first woman ever to drive in 1899, to Dorothy Levitt, author of the first automotive handbook for women in 1909, to Margie Seals, who opened her garage, "My Favorite Mechanic . . . Is a Woman," in 1992. Although women drove and had responsibility for their family's car maintenance, twentieth-century popular culture was replete with humorous comments and judgmental critiques that effectively denied women pride in their driving abilities and car-related expertise. Parkin contends that, despite women's long history with cars, these stereotypes persist.
