What is health? What does health mean to people? How do we make sense of health and experience it? There are no simple answers to these questions. Health is complex, subjective and varied. Drawing on theory, research and contemporary debates, Ruth Cross explores the nature of health in depth and challenges our thinking about it. Moving beyond taken-for-granted assumptions, she gives the meaning of ‘health’ its due attention, exploring everyday perspectives as well as ‘expert’ medical, academic and policy understandings and approaches. In doing so, the book brings together different knowledge and expertise on health, also considering the inextricable links between human and planetary health. This book is important for all those working in the health field, or training to do so, seeking a broad understanding about health and all its complexity.

Borges Alef’te düş ile gerçek, eski ile yeni, Batı ile Doğu arasındaki ikiliklerde gidip gelen bir zenginliğin anlatısını sunuyor. Borges’in en verimli döneminde yazdığı hikâyeleri bir araya getiren Alef, İbrani alfabesinin ilk harfi olan “alef”i merkezine alarak, bizi evrenin kökenine ve sonsuzluk düşüncesine götürüyor. Alef uzay boşluğundaki tüm noktaları kapsayan bir noktadır; bu noktadan içeri bakan kişi evreni görür ve onu kucaklar. Burası, sonsuzluğun hem başladığı hem bittiği yerdir. Zaman, kimlik ve ölümsüzlük temaları çevresinde kurulan Alef, farklı gerçeklik ve anlam katmanları vaat eden bir metin. Üstelik Borges’in bu kitapta okuruna bir de sürprizi var: Modern edebiyatın zaman ve uzam sihirbazı, kitapta sadece anlatıcı olarak yer almıyor, karşımıza hikâye kahramanı olarak da çıkıyor. “Jorge Luis Borges, kaderi ince, yıkıcı ve empatik bir tanrının çizimlerine göre cisimleştirir.” RICCARDO CAMPA

Když se potkali v avantgardní londýnské galerii Indica v listopadu 1966, bylo Johnu Lennonovi dvacet šest let a už byl ,,proslulejší než Ježíš". Yoko Ono, třiatřicetiletá Japonka z newyorkské fluxusové scény, vzbuzovala rozruch a provokovala svými výstředmostmi. John Lennon a Yoko Ono zinscenovali svůj vzájemný vztah jako happening a propagovali jednotu mezi uměním a erotikou.

The indomitable spirit of Bert Irvine is at the heart of Nechako Country, a story that provides a glimpse into a simpler world in simpler times. After Bert moved his young family from Barrhead in northwestern Alberta to Vanderhoof in central British Columbia, the upper Nechako country and Nechako River became integral parts of their lives. Bert's life was and still is intertwined with the wilderness, and the country itself is a major player in this tale.Spanning 1934 to 2005, a period of unprecedented and fast-paced change, the story focuses largely on the '50s and '60s. As the wilderness way of life continues to be replaced by a new world of high technology, and the wilderness itself is pushed back and badly bruised, Nechako Country provides a window into the past and a lifestyle that has all but vanished. In part the story of one man's journey through life as a trapper, guide-outfitter and jack-of-all trades, it is also a history of the upper Nechako valley, its people and the tortured Nechako River, the lifeblood of this beautiful area.
