Product Description

Pharmacology: Connections to Nursing Practice recognizes that pharmacology is not an academic discipline to be learned for its own sake, but a critical tool to prevent disease and promote healing of illness. This connection to patients, their assessment, diagnoses, and interventions, supports basic nursing practice. Like other core nursing subjects, the focus of pharmacology must be to teach and promote wellness for patients. Pharmacology: Connections to Nursing Practice identifies key pharmacologic concepts and mechanisms and clearly connects them to current nursing theory and practice for providing optimal patient care.

Maternal-Newborn Nursing: The Critical Components of Nursing Care

Product Description
Millions of people suffer from digestive disorders including irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation, but comparatively few realize that good overall health begins in the gut. We’re all equipped with our own “Gut Protection System”, or GPS, populated by a delicate balance of friendly bacteria that help us digest and synthesize nutrients, defend us from toxins, and fortify our immunity to disease. When there is an imbalance of the bacteria (friendly vs. harmful) in the GPS whether from anti-­biotics, antacids, poor diets, or simply the natural course of aging we experience digestive disturbances, which if left unchecked can lead to more serious health issues. In this publication, you will discover that by consuming probiotics (beneficial bacteria), especially strains of lactobacillus or bifidobacterium, you can safely and effectively restore balance to your GPS, ease digestive disturbances, and maintain optimum health.

Product Description
Occult Science is Rudolf Steiner’s term for the ancient Way of Initiation, and in this book he shows that an objective description of the spiritual experience, (one quite as balanced as the findings of external science), is both possible and attainable. Material scientists pour scorn on the idea of other spiritual worlds, but it is unreasonable to expect that instruments of gross matter will ever detect the highly attenuated spiritual dimensions. Occult scientists consider the human body is the best, perhaps the only, instrument capable to reaching these dimensions, and while all such detection must perforce be subjective, it is no means non-objective. Regarded by many as Steiner’s masterpiece, ‘An Outline of Occult Science’ is a book with many levels of meaning, one that will repay re-reading on a regular basis.

Product Description

The collection of ten absorbing tales by master psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom uncovers the mysteries, frustrations, pathos, and humor at the heart of the therapeutic encounter.  In recounting his patients’ dilemmas, Yalom not only gives us a rare and enthralling glimpse into their personal desires and motivations but also tells us his own story as he struggles to reconcile his all-too human responses with his sensibility as a psychiatrist.  Not since Freud has an author done so much to clarify what goes on between a psychotherapist and a patient.
