Abstract

"The fitness innovators behind The Ready State and the movement bible Becoming a Supple Leopard present a new way to enhance mobility and improve day-to-day wellness for anyone and everyone"-- "After decades spent working with pro-athletes, Olympians, and Navy Seals, mobility pioneers Kelly and Juliet Starrett began thinking about the physical well-being of the rest of us. What makes a durable human? How do we continue to feel great and function well as we age? And how do we counteract the effects of technology-dependence, sedentary living, and other modern ways of life on our body's natural need for activity? The answers lie in an easy-to-use formula for basic mobility maintenance: 10 tests + 10 physical practices = 10 ways to make your body work better."--

Abstract

"Inclusion. Wellbeing. Care. This is the future of work. The new generation no longer wants to accept that work hurts and that to succeed, we must sacrifice our well-being and health. Throw in the fact that our three core relationships - "self," "others," and "work," are overlapping like never before, and to create the future of work we all want to see, we must rethink self-care in the workplace and stop seeing it as something we do on our own time, but rather a mindset that provides us with the fuel and tools to change and grow. The Self-Care Mindset is an extension of Jeanette's most valuable teachings; rooted in solving the burnout crisis and navigating change and uncertainty through a more inclusive and holistic approach to self-care where we protect and harness our most important resource: our humanity. Once presented with the many paradoxes surrounding self-care, readers will be walked through three sections: "Think," "Engage," and "Act." In each section, they will be introduced and given proven tools and frameworks Jeanette has designed to help navigate FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) including, the "Power Pause," the "C.A.R.E. Framework," and "AAA." Focusing on "work-life balance" is outdated and not relevant to our new world. Now is the time we focus our efforts on "work-life quality" and this starts with recognizing that work is an ecosystem of relationships, and it starts with the one we have with ourselves. Accessing what it means to be human and equipping ourselves with the tools to reclaim agency in our lives and our work - which is the true definition of self-care"--

Abstract

The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient’s bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.

Abstract

"Cancer Entangled explores the shifts that took place in Denmark around the millennium, when health promoters set out to minimize delays in cancer diagnoses in hope of improving cancer survival. The authors suggest a temporal reframing of cancer control that emphasizes the importance of focusing on how people - potential patients as well as healthcare professionals - experience and anticipate cancer before a diagnosis or a prediction has been made. This argument compellingly challenges and augments anthropological work on cancer control that has privileged attention to the productive role of science and technology and to life with cancer or cancer risk. By offering rich ethnographic insights into the introduction of the first cancer vaccine, cancer signs and symptoms, public discourses on delays, social class and care seeking, cancer suspicion in the clinic, as well as the work on fast-track referral - the book convincingly situates cancer control in an ethical registrar involving attention to acceleration and time, showing how cancer waiting times become an index of the 'state of the nation'"--

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the material and social foundations of the world more than any event in recent history and has highlighted and exacerbated a longstanding crisis of care. While these challenges may be freshly visible to the public, they are not new. Over the last three decades, a growing body of care scholarship has documented the inadequacy of the social organization of care around the world, and the effect of the devaluation of care on workers, families, and communities. In this volume, a diverse group of care scholars bring their expertise to bear on this recent crisis. In doing so, they consider the ways in which the existing social organization of care in different countries around the globe amplified or mitigated the impact of COVID-19. They also explore the impact of the global pandemic on the conditions of care and its role in exacerbating deeply rooted gender, race, migration, disability, and other forms of inequality.

Abstract

Women from Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia, who migrate to Guam, a U.S. territory, suffer disproportionately poor reproductive health outcomes. Though their access to the United States is unusually easy, through a unique migration agreement, it keeps them in a perpetual liminal state as nonimmigrants, who never fully belong as part of the United States Chuukese women move to Guam, sometimes with their families but sometimes alone, in search of a better life: for jobs, for the education system, or to access safe health care. Yet, the imperial system they encounter creates underlying conditions that greatly and disproportionately impact their ability to succeed and thrive, negatively impacting their reproductive health. Through clinical and community ethnography, Sarah A. Smith illuminates the way this system stratifies women's reproduction at structural, social, and individual levels. Readers can visualize how U.S. imperialist policies of benign neglect control the body politic, change the social body, and render individual bodies vulnerable in the twenty-first century but also how people resist.
