Good Life, Good Death

Good Life, Good Death

Derek Humphry; Stephen Jamison

Carrel Books
2017
sidottu
For nearly four decades, Derek Humphry has blazed a trail for the right to die movement. He founded the Hemlock Society, pioneered Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act, and wrote the bestselling books Final Exit (more than one million copies sold, and a New York Times bestseller for eighteen weeks) and Jean’s Way (UK bestseller). But before his wife’s terminal illness ravaged his life, Humphry was a successful journalist. In Good Life, Good Death, readers will learn how the twists and turns of fate led him to his life’s purpose. In his poignant memoir, Derek tells of his broken family, his wartime experiences as a boy in England, and rising to the highest rungs of journalism on two continents. In 1975, he lived with crippling fear and sadness when his beloved wife, Jean, was diagnosed with cancer. As the disease gradually spread, they both decided that rather than let a terminal illness run its course through extreme physical and emotional pain, Jean would end her own life on her own terms, at an agreed upon time and manner, arranging her own last days. Readers will witness the personal pain and emotional distress they endured, as well as the legal repercussions Derek faced following her death. As Humphry writes, ?It would be far more preferable to legalize medically assisted suicide for terminally ill adults, for it is a tremendous strain and risk put on families.” To know why he has maintained this struggle for choice in dying, against powerful religious and political forces it is necessary to understand the whole man. In Good Life, Good Death, readers will appreciate the fight he has gone through so that others might consider the option of dying with dignity.

We Refuse to Disappear

We Refuse to Disappear

sj Miller; Jamison Green; Hirokazu Yoshikawa

Harvard Educational Publishing Group
2026
nidottu
A comprehensive account of resisting anti-trans legislation, which serves as a blueprint for creating safe, affirming classrooms Every day, educators must navigate anti-trans policies that affect numerous dimensions of school life, including curriculum, pronouns, athletics, teacher speech, bathroom access, and gender-affirming care. In We Refuse to Disappear, sj Miller takes an in-depth look at these policies, how they impact schools, and how teachers can continue to promote equity within increasingly constrained legal environments. Based on a national policy analysis of state statutes, regulatory guidance, and enforcement patterns, this book identifies The Ten That Target—the most consequential policy areas shaping the educational terrain for trans* students and those who teach them. Miller introduces A Pedagogy of Refusal—a teaching practice that consciously resists harmful laws, policies, and norms—as the antidote to a sweeping policy regime intent on erasing trans* students and educators. Each chapter centers a statute, breaks it down to be easily understandable, and pairs it with vignettes that show how refusal is enacted and sustained across educational contexts. Through layered classroom narratives and real-world case studies drawn from elementary, middle, high school, and postsecondary settings, this book empowers educators to act as ethical protectors who nurture student safety and affirmation. In addition, Miller provides proven, classroom-ready strategies and scenarios for K–16 educators across subject areas. We Refuse to Disappear dispenses powerful guidance for educators, leaders, teacher educators, students, families, advocates, policy professionals, and others who need clarity, language, and tools to sustain justice when laws are being used to erase.

Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material, Social, and Religious Context

Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material, Social, and Religious Context

Branka Migotti; Marjeta Sasel Kos Jamison; Iva Radman-Livaja

Archaeopress
2018
nidottu
This book has come about as a result of the project 'Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material, Social, and Religious Context', unfolding between 2015 and 2018 in the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts under the auspices of the Croatian Science Foundation, with B. Migotti as the project leader and M. Šašel Kos and I. Radman-Livaja as collaborators. 'Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material, Social, and Religious Context' examines around two hundred funerary monuments and fragments (stelai, sarcophagi, ash-chests, tituli, altars, medallions and buildings) from three Roman cities in the south-west part of the Roman province of Pannonia in the territory of north-west Croatia: colonia Siscia (Sisak) and municipia Andautonia (Šcitarjevo) and Aquae Balissae (Daruvar). A juxtaposition of the evidence from three administrative units of different dimensions and municipal profiles, and of unequal importance in the wider area, offered a good opportunity for a meaningful comparison of the main components for a reconstruction of material, social and cultural components of the three Romano-provincial communities. The components studied were: 1 – territorial scope of the individual cities; 2 – quantification of the monuments in terms of kinds and chronology; 3 – structural typology and iconography; 4 – social aspects of the monument use; 5 – ritual and religious aspects (incineration vs. inhumation, classical religion vs. Christianity); 6 – geo-archaeological aspect. The most valuable contributions have been achieved in the geo-archaeological field, as such research had never been carried out in the studied area before.

Manic-Depressive Illness

Manic-Depressive Illness

Frederick K. Goodwin; Kay Redfield Jamison

Oxford University Press Inc
2007
sidottu
The revolution in psychiatry that began in the 1950s led to dramatic advances in the understanding and treatment of manic-depressive illness also known as bipolar disorder. No other mental illness has been the subject of such extensive, clinically useful, and scientifically productive research. Hailed as the most outstanding book in the biomedical sciences when it was originally published in 1990, Manic-Depressive Illness was the first to survey this massive body of evidence comprehensively and to assess its meaning for both clinician and scientist. It also vividly portrayed the experience of manic-depressive illness from the perspective of patients, their doctors, and researchers, and recounted the torments of some of the great poets and composers whose art was almost certainly enriched, energised, and deepened by the extremes of manic-depressive illness. In this magisterial second edition, Drs. Frederick Goodwin and Kay Redfield Jamison, with the assistance of a select team of other leading scientists in the field, exhaustively review the biological and genetic literature that has dominated the field in recent years and incorporate cutting-edge research conducted since publication of the first edition. They also update their surveys of psychological and epidemiological evidence, as well as that pertaining to diagnostic issues, course, and outcome, and they offer practical guidelines for differential diagnosis and clinical management. The medical treatment of manic and depressive episodes is described, strategies for preventing future episodes are given in detail, and psychotherapeutic issues common in this illness are considered. Special emphasis is given to fostering compliance with medication regimens and treating bipolar patients who abuse drugs and alcohol or who pose a risk of suicide. This book, in its newly updated and expanded form, will be a valuable and necessary addition to the libraries of psychiatrists and other physicians, psychologists, clinical social workers, neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and the patients and families who live with manic-depressive illness.
