English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 150 Pages | ISBN : 3031457730 | 4.1 MB
Oncology is a field characterized as "medicine of high complexity" and cancer is generally regarded as a complex system. Therefore, it cannot be classified and treated according only to its biology. Even though research on the biology of cancer has increased and more studies have been published, the related sociological, political and economic dimensions, as well as mathematical models that predict whether this condition will take one course or another, have often been neglected. The Invisible Hand of Cancer-The Complex Force of Socioeconomic Factors in Oncology Today unfolds the variables behind the biological disease, exploring the social aspects and presenting cancer as a model inside of the Complexity Theory.

Free Download Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic: How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal from It by Paul Conti, Tim Fannon, Recorded Books
English | 2021 | ISBN: B0971QV725 | Format: M4B / 6 hours and 9 minutes pages | EPUB | 336 Mb
Join Dr. Paul Conti for a journey toward understanding, active treatment, and societal prevention of trauma.
Imagine, if you will, a disease – one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice; one that transfers easily between parent and child; one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.
In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper, richer, and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.

Slave Religion The Invisible Institution in the Antebellum South


Free Download Slave Religion: The "Invisible Institution" in the Antebellum South by Albert J. Raboteau, Rodney Louis Tompkins, Upfront Books
English | 2022 | ISBN: B09RTQWF88 | 15 hours and 27 minutes / Format: M4B / Bitrate: 32 Kbps | 228 Mb
Twenty-five years after its original publication, Slave Religion remains a classic in the study of African American history and religion. In a new chapter in this anniversary edition, author Albert J. Raboteau reflects upon the origins of the book, the reactions to it over the past 25 years, and how he would write it differently today.
Using a variety of first and secondhand sources – some objective, some personal, all riveting – Raboteau analyzes the transformation of the African religions into evangelical Christianity. He presents the narratives of the slaves themselves, as well as missionary reports, travel accounts, folklore, Black autobiographies, and the journals of White observers to describe the day-to-day religious life in the slave communities. Slave Religion is a must-listen for anyone wanting a full picture of this "invisible institution".
