Book excerpt: In Twenty Years of Life, Suzanne Bohan exposes the ugly truth that health is largely determined by zip code. Life expectancies in wealthy versus poor neighborhoods can vary by as much as twenty years. Bohan chronicles a bold experiment to challenge that inequity. The California Endowment, one of the nation's largest health foundations, is upending the old-school, top-down charity model and investing $1 billion over ten years to help distressed communities advocate for their own interests. With compassion and insight, Bohan shares stories of students and parents, former street shooters, urban farmers, and a Native American tribe who are tapping into their latent political power to make their neighborhoods healthier. Their stories will fundamentally change how we think about the root causes of disease and the prospects for healing.

Bohan details how to safely ventilate an underground bunker or shelter-in-place room, sealed with duct tape and plastic sheeting, so you can escape the airborne particulate threats of anthrax, nuclear fallout, dirty bombs, biological and pandemic agents, or other airborne threats. This book educates you about all the variables involved in providing fresh air to your shelter before the need arises, including passive and active ventilation, air pumps, plumbing the bunker, air filters, and gas masks. After studying Emergency Air, you can breathe easier knowing you have done all you can to ensure your family's emergency air supply during a chemical, biological, ¬radiological, or nuclear emergency.

She was the only woman to serve on the American Historical Association's Committee of Seven and the first woman to be elected to its Executive Council.

Download or read book Conversations about Psychology and Sexual Orientation written by Janis S. Bohan and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1999-08-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology's approach to sexual orientation has long had its foundation in essentialism, which undergirds psychological theory and research as well as clinical practice and applications of psychology to public policy issues. It is only recently that psychology as a discipline has begun to entertain social constructivism as an alternative approach. Based on the belief that thoughtful dialogue can engender positive change, Conversations about Psychology and Sexual Orientation explores the implications for psychology of both essentialist and social constructionist understandings of sexual orientation. The book opens with an introduction presenting basic theoretical frameworks, followed by three application sections dealing with clinical practice, research and theory, and public policy. In each, the discussion takes the form of a conversation, as the authors first consider essentialist and constructionist approaches to the topic at hand. These thoughts, in turn, are followed by responses from distinguished scholars chosen for their expertise in a particular area. By providing an array of comments and thoughtful responses to topics surrounding psychology's approaches to sexual orientation, this valuable study sheds new light on the contrasting views held in the field and the ways in which essentialist and constructionist understandings may be applied to specific practices and policies.

A dedicated prepper and the author of Living on the Edge: A Family's Journey to Self-Sufficiency , F.J. Bohan takes you through the wide array of possible fortifications—including barbed-wire fences and entanglements, concrete posts and barriers, and simple but effective sandbags— that will enable you to determine the best course of action for your needs. Bohan details everything from the tried-and-true methods of cover used since the trenches of World War I to more modern methods such as the stout Jersey barrier. You'll see how to build bunkers and shelters using what's available to you, from logs to buried shipping containers or concrete sewer pipes. Whether you're planning to protect your family's home from armed insurgents during a time of unrest or designing a last-stand bunker complete with a system of trenches, tunnels, and manned fighting positions, Bohan's assessment of what's possible, practical, and affordable will put you on the right path to a safe and free future.
