The Medical-Pharmaceutical Killing Machine - Children's Health Defense - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Medical-Pharmaceutical Killing Machine - Children's Health Defense - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Medical and pharmaceutical history is replete with examples of dangerous interventions that have poisoned, injured, or killed. However, events since 2020 have attracted attention as never before to medicine's potential to be both lethal and malevolent. In The Medical-Pharmaceutical Killing Machine, Children's Health Defense situates current perils in their broader context with the aim of helping readers understand how to protect themselves and their loved ones. In the Greek Trojan War saga, the god Apollo ensured that Cassandra's prophecies would never be believed, with disastrous consequences. As recounted in the book, modern medicine, too, has produced its fair share of ';medical Cassandras'doctors and writers who have tried to warn the public about medicine's life-threatening underbelly, generally to little avail. A chapter dedicated to nine of these medical skeptics, beginning with Ivan Illich and his coining of the term ';iatrogenesis' to describe adverse outcomes caused by doctors, weaves a powerful portrait of harms regularly denied and ignored, with those making the claims typically marginalized and ';canceled.' The book shows that there is no shortage of tools in the killing machine arsenal. One chapter highlights the mRNA vaccine technology inaugurated with COVID, illustrating how this new mechanism for iatrogenesis is inflicting novel forms of toxicity, not all of which are yet understood. Another chapter about assisted suicide and euthanasia describes the chilling global proliferation of policies and propaganda promoting those practices for vulnerable populations that include babies, children, people diagnosed with autism, and the mentally ill. The book also describes factors that make it possible for the killing machine to continue operating with impunity, including the ascendance of an ';evidence-based medicine' juggernaut, medical gaslighting, and a ballooning global enforcement infrastructure. Nor does it shy away from confronting what some now characterize as ';iatrogenocide'; a chapter asking ';Why Do They Do It?' considers money, prestige, and control as three possible answers. Ultimately, it is only by acknowledging the long-standing reality of an all-too-effective medical-pharmaceutical killing machine that people can learn to dodge the threats and work toward building a different model that prioritizes life and genuine health.

Back Seat with Fish - Henry Hughes - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Back Seat with Fish - Henry Hughes - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Henry Hughes has been fishing his entire life. But unlike those who stick to their local stream, Hughes has traveled the world in search of new and exciting adventures. Back Seat with Fish is unlike any memoir you've ever read. Traveling across East Asia from Beijing to Bangkok as well as throughout the United States, Hughes shares stories of the fish he's caught and the people he's met. Fishing is a sport that crosses boundaries of race, ethnicity, gender, and class. In his travels, Hughes learns lessons on issues of race and culture as he interacts with a wide variety of people who share his love for fishing and enjoy the sensual connection between the salty pleasures and tensions of human and fish life. Throughout the adventures in Back Seat with Fish are tales with carp and fugu, sharks and snakeheads, as well as exchanges with a variety of people, including a Sioux Indian from South Dakota, an elderly African American on the Mississippi, and waterside inhabitants of Beijing. But Hughes's journey isn't just for people who fish or love nature. Back Seat with Fish is for anyone who enjoys a good story. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen. Our books for anglers include titles that focus on fly fishing, bait fishing, fly-casting, spin casting, deep sea fishing, and surf fishing. Our books offer both practical advice on tackle, techniques, knots, and more, as well as lyrical prose on fishing for bass, trout, salmon, crappie, baitfish, catfish, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

A Road Back from Schizophrenia - Arnhild Lauveng - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A Road Back from Schizophrenia - Arnhild Lauveng - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A Powerful Memoir for Sufferers, Their Families, and the Professionals who Care for Them For ten years, Arnhild Lauveng suffered as a schizophrenic, going in and out of the hospital for months or even a year at a time. A Road Back from Schizophrenia gives extraordinary insight into the logic (and life) of a schizophrenic. Lauveng illuminates her loss of identity, her sense of being controlled from the outside, and her relationship to the voices she heard and her sometimes terrifying hallucinations. Painful recollections of moments of humiliation inflicted by thoughtless medical professionals are juxtaposed with Lauveng’s own understanding of how such patients are outwardly irrational and often violent. She paints a surreal world—sometimes full of terror and sometimes of beauty—in which “the Captain” rules her by the rod and the school’s corridors are filled with wolves. When she was diagnosed with the mental illness, it was emphasized that this was a congenital disease, and that she would have to live with it for the rest of her life. Today, however, she calls herself a “former schizophrenic,” has stopped taking medication for the illness, and currently works as a clinical psychologist. Lauveng, though sometimes critical of mental health care, ultimately attributes her slow journey back to health to the dedicated medical staff who took the time to talk to her and who saw her as a person simply diagnosed with an illness—not the illness incarnate.

America's Path Back to Moral Leadership - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

America's Path Back to Moral Leadership - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Government institutions have betrayed the trust of the American people for too long. Instead of serving a democracy that is of, by, and for the people, these organizations have been captured by the corporate greed of regulatory agencies—the agencies who look the other way because they are bankrolled by those they are supposed to regulate. It is no mystery why trust in government is at an all-time low. Most Americans, including those working for big corporations and government agencies, are decent and upstanding citizens who are tired of the paralysis of a broken system. They are looking for a way out, a path toward a government that cares about people over profits. They are looking for America’s Path Back to Moral Leadership . Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explains how his administration will build a government that serves the public, not the other way around. He discusses how to make government transparent, protect whistleblowers, and prosecute officials who abuse the public trust, and how to rein in the lobbyists and slam shut the revolving door between government agencies and lucrative positions in the companies they were supposed to regulate. To bring true moral leadership back to America, Kennedy makes clear that his administration will get the money out of politics, open up our institutions to real citizen involvement, and restore the lost integrity of our democracy.

Bringing Me Back - Beth Vrabel - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Noah is not having a good year. His mom is in prison, he''s living with his mom''s boyfriend—who he''s sure is just waiting until his mother''s six month sentence is up to kick him out—and he''s officially hated by everyone at his middle school, including his former best friend. It''s Noah''s fault that the entire football program got shut down after last year. One day, Noah notices a young bear at the edge of the woods with her head stuck in a bucket. A bucket that was almost certainly left outside as part of a school fundraiser to bring back the football team. As days go by, the bear is still stuck—she''s wasting away and clearly getting weaker, even as she runs from anyone who tries to help. And she''s always alone. Though Noah ignores the taunts at school and ignores his mother''s phone calls from jail, he can''t ignore the bear. Everyone else has written the bear off as a lost cause—just like they have with Noah. He makes it his mission to help her. But rescuing the bear means tackling his past—and present—head-on. Could saving the bear ultimately save Noah, too?

Back to Istanbul - Bernard Ollivier - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Back to Istanbul - Bernard Ollivier - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

After trekking nearly 7,500 miles, from Istanbul, Turkey to Xi’an, China, French travel writer Bernard Ollivier thought he had put the Silk Road behind him—enough for a retiree to rest on his laurels! But that was before meeting his now-partner-in-life Bénédicte Flatet. Why, she asked, hadn’t he set out from France? After all, the city of Lyon was once Europe’s silk capital. Now, at seventy-five years old, Ollivier decides to lace up his walking boots and head out to complete his Silk-Road journey, once and for all: 1,900 miles, from Lyon to Istanbul. Only this time, he won’t be alone. Flatet has long yearned to hike side-by-side with Ollivier, so the couple sets out together . . . This unexpected fourth volume in Ollivier’s Silk Road series ( Out of Istanbul , Walking to Samarkand , and Winds of the Steppe ) is a wonderful bonus for the author’s fans: not only is it the enthralling continuation of his long walk across Asia, it’s a new journey unto itself, across Europe, full of delightful firsts, such as the inclusion of short chronicles by Flatet. Through ten countries—from familiar France and Italy to the more mysterious Balkans—the intrepid pair invites us to discover the sometimes happy, sometimes tragic history of those they encounter, and to share in their daily lives. Back to Istanbul is both a fervent appeal for greater understanding among peoples, and a magnificent declaration of love.

Back on the Map - Lisa Ann Scott - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

With their mother long dead and their father unknown, eleven-year-old Penny Porter and her twin brother Parker have been bouncing around foster homes for as long as they can remember. Inspired by the historical figures in her favorite book, Penny likes to imagine who she could be related to. Sacagawea? Her genes would be good ones to have. Or maybe Gandhi, or Harriet Tubman. There are endless possibilities!But while Penny embraces the question marks in her family tree, she and Porter are both ready for a real home. Living with their aging, ornery Grauntie isn’t easy, but it’s better than other places they’ve been, and they don’t want to get moved again—or worse, split up. Penny believes the key to keeping them from being bounced to another new home is getting their town of New Hope, North Carolina back on the state map. And what better way to do that than to spruce up and sell New Hope’s Finest—an old orphanage that was supposed to reopen years ago as the best attraction ever, but never did. She’s got the creativity and the gumption to do it. And maybe knowing who you are doesn’t matter so much as knowing what you can do. But will that be enough to finally keep her and Parker in one place for good?

Some Recollections of St. Ives - David Mamet - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Some Recollections of St. Ives - David Mamet - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

From the acclaimed playwright and author of Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo comes Some Recollections of St. Ives , a masterful novel that masquerades as a memoir of the fictional Charles Hollis, a man whose life spanned continents, conflicts, and a decades-long career at one of America’s most storied institutions—the St. Ives School. Written in the final years of Hollis’s life, Some Recollections of St. Ives offers a candid yet poignant reflection on his forty years at the school. Through the allegorical tales woven into Hollis’s recollections, Mamet delivers a sharp, incisive examination of an isolated institution and, by extension, society as a whole. Once again, Mamet proves himself a master of language, balancing history’s weight on our culture with profound emotional depth. With wit and keen insight, he explores the complexities of human nature and the undercurrents of an American institution.
