Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter what our health challenges, we all need to be able to take charge of our lives. But what we need even more is a practical way to gain insight into our health issues and then gauge how our lives are really going. Chrystal Benson is a nurse who relies on her own life experiences and those of her clients to share a three-month diary that will help anyone track daily life activities, discover what is missing, recognize patterns that both serve and disrupt health and life, and then develop a plan to get back on track to better health, improve well-being, and maximize quality of life. Through a comprehensive diary, Chrystal guides others to accurately measure five aspects of living—diet, sleep quality, exercise, mood, and social contacts—and then ultimately repair or repeat patterns and habits accordingly. Included are Keeping Well and Relapse Prevention Plans that encourage others to ensure that their voices, beliefs, opinions, and attitudes are heard not just by themselves, but also by others. My Complete Diary is a self-directed tool that encourages anyone to develop insight into how health issues impact their lives and then readjust behaviors, habits, and patterns to improve well-being.

  • Pages : 385 pages

Download or read book Eclipse and Revelation written by Henrike Lange and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two questions guide this seven-year project: First, how can we approach the phenomenon, representation, and interpretation of total solar eclipses? Second, how can we heal the historical divide separating the natural sciences from the humanities, arts, history, and theology? The result of this interdisciplinary investigation into eclipses is an exciting look behind the scenes - into labs, archives, and museums, as well as around fieldwork in astronomy, meteorology, animal behaviour, and ecophysiology. Carefully prepared for readers from all backgrounds, these voices invite us to imagine a liberated mode of discovery, perception, creativity, and knowledge-production across the traditional academic divisions. A uniquely prismatic representation of total solar eclipses emerges, itself rising to a model of communal thinking, together, across disciplinary borders. This book is Tom McLeish's final project and scholarly testament. Dedicated to him and to astrophysicist Jay M. Pasachoff (contributing author of a chapter about the solar corona, also Pasachoff's final piece of writing), the volume is a friendly companion to the chase of knowledge, encouraging its readers to embark upon their own interdisciplinary journey of discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing poetry is a bridge that allows people to express their feelings and make others like every single word they read. Poetry is to educate people, to lead them away from hate to love, from violence to mercy and pity. Writing poetry is to help the community better understand life and live it more passionately. Poetry is the most compact form of literature. A poem packs all kinds of ideas, feelings and beauty into a few carefully chosen words. I belong to a highly educated family of U.P. and presently settled in Noida.I love all forms of fine arts---music, singing,painting, reading and writing. My fascination for writing came from my father.Poetry just happens.My mantra in life is "bloom where you are planted.".and believe that poetry connects the world. Imagination revolves around me, humanity is the biggest religion.I am polite, positive, hard-working and loving person. My parents and siblings were avid readers. My parents molded us towards academics and sports. My own family helped me to fly, I am grateful to all of them. Now I am following my dreams.All poems depict different aspects of human nature, changing times, present situations and beautiful nature. One needs peace of mind and calm environment to study, concentrate and put fine thoughts on paper. You read for yourself but while writing for others one has to be aware as you articulate different situations in black and white, with positive thoughts. I write books in Hindi, Urdu and English. Our passion is a committed force that drives us to reach our goal. I am the spouse of a paramilitary officer and blessed mother of a married entrepreneur daughter,an I.A.S allied son in law, a son, who is successful sales professional, and a lovely daughter in law. I accept life with all its drawbacks. I love nature.Nature is the best sanctuary for overcoming the stress and strains of life. I love folk themes. I enjoy the simple joys, hopes, fears and life of a common citizen in a metropolis and countryside as well. I am deeply inspired and fascinated by the beauty of nature in its divergent manifestations. Joy of spring can heal a grief stricken heart. Folk culture is a synthesis of diverse cultures which adds to its richness and timelessness. Folk festivals are an integral part of Indian culture, which points to its diversity and root strength.The folk songs poetically recapture the heart beat of rural India. I often think about poor hard working Indians, who earn their livelihood by dint of hard labour only. Many awards were conferred on me.

Book excerpt: This page-turning, harrowing debut is the story of a girl trying to fit in, whose obsessive new friends and desperation to belong leads her to places she’d never imagined...dark, dangerous, and possibly even violent. "Fans of Greer Macallister, Paula Hawkins, and Janelle Brown will devour Violet’s journey.” —Booklist ~~~ In 1998, a sixteen-year-old girl is found dead. She’s posed on a swing on her boarding school’s property, dressed all in white, with no known cause of death. Whispers and rumors swirl, with no answers. But there are a few who know what happened; there is one girl who will never forget. One year earlier: a new student, Violet, steps on the campus of Elm Hollow Academy, an all-girl’s boarding school on the outskirts of a sleepy coastal town. This is her fresh start, her chance to begin again in the wake of tragedy, leave her demons behind. Bright but a little strange, uncertain and desperate to fit in, she soon finds herself invited to an advanced study group, led by her alluring and mysterious art teacher, Annabel. There, with three other girls—Alex, Grace, and Robin—the five of them delve into the school’s long-buried grim history: of Greek and Celtic legends; of the school founder’s “academic” interest in the occult; of gruesome 17th century witch trials. Annabel does her best to convince the girls that her classes aren’t related to ancient rites and rituals, and that they are just history and mythology. But the more she tries to warn the girls off the topic, the more they are drawn to it, and the possibility that they can harness magic for themselves. Violet quickly finds herself wrapped up in this heady new world of lawless power—except she is needled by the disappearance of a former member of the group, one with whom Violet shares an uncanny resemblance. As her friends’ actions take a turn for the darker and spiral out of control, she begins to wonder who she can trust, all the while becoming more deeply entangled. How far will these young girls go to protect one another...or to destroy one another?
