Medical Anthropology and African American Health

Medical Anthropology and African American Health

Eric J. Bailey

Praeger Publishers Inc
2002
nidottu
The field of medical anthropology is a discipline that incorporates the perspective of a wide range of approaches—from anthropologists, sociologists, epidemiologists, physicians, nurses, public health administrators, biologists, and many others, including the general public, to health care. This approach places culture and cultural relativism at the forefront and center of every model, and examines the ethics and fairness of health care issues associated with the African American population. The author examines data on mortality, census, preventive health, alternative medical practices, clinical research, and intervention from a comprehensive perspective. Finally, fieldwork in a public health department setting provides the medical anthropologist with a unique opportunity to investigate cultural and health issues of a particular population in a public health setting. The author explains the steps and procedures for conducting an applied medical anthropological study, based on his experience doing fieldwork projects over the past 15 years.

Promotional Feats

Promotional Feats

Eric J. Soares

Praeger Publishers Inc
1991
sidottu
In this volume, Eric Soares offers a lively and comprehensive treatment of promotional feats--publicity efforts that generate positive and extensive media exposure and thereby enhance sales. Arguing that promotional feats are one of the most powerful yet underused tools available to the marketing manager, Soares shows how they can have a dramatic impact on consumer behavior if they are developed and executed carefully. The types of feats described and illustrated include advertisements, sales, promotions, publicity stunts, sales activities, displays, or unusual product characteristics. The common denominator, Soares demonstrates, is that each feat must be newsworthy enough to cause media attention, which is then instrumental in affecting consumers' attitudes, intentions, and buying behavior. Numerous examples of successful consumer-based promotion activities are included.The book begins by examining historical feats of publicity and promotion undertaken by military strategists, adventurers, and others. Soares explains how each incident was conceived and carried out and illuminates its applications to business. The bulk of the volume explores business promotional feats and their underlying market strategies. Separate chapters are devoted to media events, product features, outrageous advertisements, promotion gimmicks, and company icons. The final chapter reviews the process of conceptualizing, designing, and implementing a promotional feat. An indispensable resource for marketing and sales promotion managers, Promotional Feats will also be essential reading for anyone aspiring to a career in these fields.
Getting Past the Facts: Don't Let Someone's Opinion Become Your Fact
This book is about believing God at His word, instead of just believing that there is a God. Whenever anyone just believes that there is a God, then God's word will always remain their opinion. God's word becomes a fact when you trust Him at His word and believe Him to perform His word. As you read this book, open yourself to God to receive the revelation that he desires for you to receive based on where you are in your spiritual development.
Not a Bad Ride: Stories from a Boomer's Life on the Edge
A boomer memoir delivered in wry vignettes--edgy but never bitter. These reflections concentrate on the early 1970s as I drifted through a turbulent swarm of events, buffeted by psychological conflicts, underachieving, drinking, and drugs. Commune. I guess you could call it a commune: some of us were unrelated; we bought, cooked, and ate food as a group; we'd sit on the floor around a low table eating fried rice, scrambled eggs, calf brains, and lungs. The Draft. We all dealt with it one way or another. Some took cover in college throughout that period. Others enlisted for four years rather than serving the two-year minimum, sacrificing two years of their lives to gain control over how and where they spent their time during the war. Hitchhiking. People seldom hitch these days. But in the late sixties and early seventies, we shuffled along the roads with our thumbs out, ready for anything. In the world of hitching, it was axiomatic never to offend the driver. Otherwise, you might find yourself back on the shoulder of the road, or worse. Dropping Acid. I became concerned I'd have a bad trip so I went into the bathroom, locked the door, stared into the medicine cabinet mirror, and reassured myself--not aloud, but inside my head. I assessed the person I saw as if he and I were different entities. After several minutes, I felt better. Health. You know that clich , "If you have your health, you have everything"? In 1980, mine crashed like a runaway elevator. The room spun violently, faster and faster. I went blind; my body tied up in knots and started to disappear. This memoir takes you on the inside of the early seventies--life after that was up for grabs, shaped by one's youthful mistakes.

Reading Creation Myths Economically in Ancient Mesopotamia and Israel
Creation myths in the ancient Middle East served, among other things, as works of political economy, justifying and naturalizing materially intensive ritual practices and their entanglements with broader economic processes and institutions. These rituals were organized according to a common ideology of divine service, which portrayed the gods as an aristocratic leisure class whose material needs were provided by human beings. Resources for divine service were extracted from the productive sectors of society and channeled inward to the temple and palace institutions, where they served to satiate the gods and support their human servants. This Element examines various forms of the economics of divine service, and how they were supported in a selection of myths – Atra?asis, Enki and Ninma?, and Enuma Eliš from Mesopotamia and the story of the Garden of Eden from the southern Levant (Israel).

Father Pacian (Father P) is in an ongoing war with the Prince of Evil, and has just formed an alliance with one of his old childhood friends, Joseph. In this book, the two of them try to help a young woman held captive by two things: her own anger and the demons who feed on it. As they get closer to a solution, Joseph finds himself fighting many of his own demons, and he suddenly realizes that for most difficult questions, there are very simple answers. "Real Exorcisms With Father P" is a series of fictional possessions and exorcisms, but based on true and sometimes documented cases. The rule of each book is plausibility. No sensationalized, Hollywood endings. True to doctrine that has been taught for two thousand years, the series is helpful to anyone struggling with the real questions of good, evil, God, and Satan.
Originalism as Faith

Originalism as Faith

Eric J. Segall

Cambridge University Press
2018
sidottu
Originalism as Faith presents a comprehensive history of the originalism debates. It shows how the doctrine is rarely used by the Supreme Court, but is employed by academics, pundits and judges to maintain the mistaken faith that the Court decides cases under the law instead of the Justices' personal values. Tracing the development of the doctrine from the founding to present day, Eric J. Segall shows how originalism is used by judges as a pretext for reaching politically desirable results. The book also presents an accurate description and evaluation of the late Justice Scalia's jurisprudence and shows how he failed to practice the originalism method that he preached. This illuminating work will be of interest to lawyers, law students, undergraduates studying the Court, law professors and anyone else interested in an honest discussion and evaluation of originalism as a theory of constitutional interpretation, a political weapon, and an article of faith.

The clarity and guidance valuation analysts have been thirsting for The business appraisal community regularly names the valuation of pass-through entities as a major issue of concern.

Valuing Pass-Through Entities provides clarity for the analyst tasked with valuation, offering clear explanations of the different perspectives and approaches to the process. Valuing Pass-Through Entities cuts through the chatter to: Explain the advantages and limitations of different types of pass-through entities Analyze the different viewpoints currently dividing the appraisal communityGain a fresh perspective on landmark casesExplain how to properly utilize a court-tested modelExamine detailed sensitivity analyses of different inputs under the income and market approaches The book includes illustrative examples, templates, and a useful technical supplement, plus case studies that demonstrate the real-world effects of various pass-through entity valuation methods and inputs. Detailed analyses and an easy-to-apply model simplify the process while positively affecting outcomes. The companion website provides the text of landmark court decisions, a blog featuring industry trends and tidbits, additional articles, and the insight of the author and other industry leaders. Valuation requires the successful juggling of multiple variables, many of which can have a major impact on value.

Valuing Pass-Through Entities clears the air, providing real-world guidelines and tools.
