Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Last Gasp takes us to the dark side of human history in the first full chronicle of the gas chamber in the United States. In page-turning detail, award-winning writer Scott Christianson tells a dreadful story that is full of surprising and provocative new findings. First constructed in Nevada in 1924, the gas chamber, a method of killing sealed off and removed from the sight and hearing of witnesses, was originally touted as a "humane" method of execution. Delving into science, war, industry, medicine, law, and politics, Christianson overturns this mythology for good. He exposes the sinister links between corporations looking for profit, the military, and the first uses of the gas chamber after World War I. He explores little-known connections between the gas chamber and the eugenics movement. Perhaps most controversially, he has unearthed new evidence about American and German collaboration in the production and lethal use of hydrogen cyanide and about Hitler’s adoption of gas chamber technology developed in the United States. More than a book about the death penalty, this compelling history ultimately reveals much about America’s values and power structures in the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Airway Centric(R) Model prevents Airway-Centered Disorders, Sleep-Disordered Breathing to maintain mental and physical health. Learn how to recognize and correct Airway-Centered Disorders, Sleep-Disordered Breathing.Gasp is about our airway, breathing and sleep. Problems can start at birth. Many premature babies are mouth breathers. A poorly structured and functioning airway leads to mouth breathing, snoring and sleep apnea; it can interfere with restorative sleep and ultimately damage the part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, which controls executive function skills, attentiveness, anxiety and depression. Learn how to restore an ideal airway with early intervention, and where to go for help. Learn how once the airway is established with breastfeeding, allergy treatment, and other methods, neurocognitive and neurobehavioral problems are greatly improved-often without any medication. Anxiety and depression are alleviated, and the behavior and performance of children are remarkably transformed.Today there is a health movement toward "Wellness." Wellness is about diet and nutrition, exercise, and mental attitude. The new paradigm is called "Functional Medicine." It addresses the causes of chronic disease with an individualized approach and emphasizes early intervention. It restores the balance amongst functional systems and the networks that connect them. The missing link is airway, breathing, and sleep. If we don't breathe well when we sleep, 1/3 of our life is affected. Gasp describes the impact of a narrowed airway from cradle to grave. Every day, we encounter fatigued patients with chronic headaches and neck pain. They have difficulty concentrating; they suffer with GI problems from acid reflux to irritable bowel syndrome. They range from thin women to men who have put on a few pounds. And you do not have to be obese to have an airway problem. Many of our younger patients with ADHD and airway issues have little body fat.Time after time we see that once the airway is opened during the day and maintained during sleep, the transformation is quick and dramatic.Breathing is life.

Book excerpt: "My first thought was, "That house is insane." Not just a house for the insane, but that the building itself was insane, as if the layout of the walls themselves belied a shattered psyche dwelling within the stone...."

There, hidden deep in the snow-covered pines, they find an ancient manor house containing an inhuman evil that defies any sense of reality.

Download or read book Sounds written by John Mowitt and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book about sound. It is a study of sounds that aims to write the resonance and response they call for. John Mowitt seeks to critique existing models in the expanding field of sound studies and draw attention to sound as an object of study that solicits a humanistic approach encompassing many types of sounds, not just readily classified examples such as speech, music, industrial sounds, or codified signals. Mowitt is particularly interested in the fact that beyond hearing and listening we ÒauditÓ sounds and do so by drawing on paradigms of thought not easily accommodated within the concept of "sound studies." To draw attention to the ways in which sounds often are not perceived for the social and political functions they serve, each chapter presents a culturally resonant soundÑincluding a whistle, an echo, a gasp, and silenceÑto show how sounds enable critical social and political concepts such as dialogue, privacy, memory, social order, and art-making. Sounds: The Ambient Humanities significantly engages, provokes, and contributes to the dynamic field and inquiry of sound studies.

Download or read book Delusions of Brandeur written by Ryan Wallman and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I love this book. Anything I spend my time on, I either have to learn something or be entertained, with this book I get both - along with great art direction. The only problem is that the people it takes the piss out of won't know how funny it is. But that's okay, they'll buy it thinking it's a genuine 'How to' guide." Dave Trott, Author and Advertising Legend. If you're a fan of books by people like Gary V and Simon Sinek, you should probably stop reading now. This book is the opposite of those. And not just because it won't be anywhere near as popular. Delusions of Brandeur is an antidote to the insanity that now pervades the marketing industry. A collection of articles, satirical posts and assorted miscellany, it is a no-holds-barred commentary on modern marketing, advertising and business. Is it an invaluable guide that will guarantee your marketing success? No. But is it exhaustively researched and full of evidence? Also no. So what the hell is in it for you, then? A fair amount of good sense, some laughs, and plenty of handy snippets that you can use at your next meeting with fans of Gary V and Simon Sinek. "Wallman slips into his Raging Bull costume and stampedes through the marketing industry smashing every bit of phony china in sight. What wonderful fun!" Bob Hoffman, Author, Former Advertising CEO, and the original Ad Contrarian. "Marketing leaders the world over, get your hands on this book. You may not have mine because I can't put it down (except when weeping with laughter)." Maureen Blandford, B2B Tech CMO, Author. "Marketing has been walking around in the emperor's new clothes, with a big pair of shiny new AI/VR bollocks on public display, but Ryan has thankfully come along and lopped them off with his sharp satirical scythe of perceptive brilliance." Giles Edwards, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Gasp. "As with all really good satire, smuggled inside every one of Wallman's lovingly-crafted jokes is a serious message: that too many marketers reject proven principles for unproven pseudo-science, plain English for pretentious marketing jargon, the tried and tested for the shiny and new." Tom Roach, Head of Effectiveness at adam&eveDDB. "A former doctor takes a scalpel to the advertising industry. Not only is this a marvellous book - but no one but Dr. Wallman could have written it." Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman at Ogilvy UK, TED Global speaker, Author. "Is it a guide book for our industry? Or is it a good laugh at our industry? It's both. It's Ryan at his most erudite and entertaining. And it's Gasp at their most gorgeous. Get it to get ahead - or to get the hell out of the mess we've made of marketing, branding and advertising." Vikki Ross, Copy Chief. "Thoroughly digestible, very insightful, loads of great tips (for people who are trapped in places where the bullshit is inescapable) and funny as fuck - cutting through the nonsense in the way that only Ryan knows how. Top work." Dave Harland, Copywriter. "The good Doctor slides his satirical blade between the Marketing body's ribs using humour as laughing gas. Just wait 'til they all come round. And it's not as funny as they thought." Mark Sareff, Director at Prophecy Consulting & former Chief Strategy Officer at Ogilvy Australia. "Marketing as we know it is dead. It's just been completely annihilated by Ryan Wallman. Somewhere between a comedy roast and a how-not-to guide, this book is an utter goldmine for the beginners, side-splitting for the seasoned, and utterly baffling for the 'experts'. Satire so sharp it will slice you - and you'll say thank you." Clare Barry, Copywriter and Queen of Sass. A Gasp Book (published by Gasp 2019)
