The Lost Art of Healing: Practicing Compassion in Medicine
Bernard Lown Manufacturer: Ballantine Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0345425979 Release Date: 1999-02-02 |
Book Description
The real crisis in medicine today is not about economics, insurance, or managed care--it's about the loss of the fundamental human relationship between doctor and patient. In this wise and passionate book, one of our most eminent physicians reacquaints us with a classic notion often overlooked in modern medicine: health care with a human face, in which the time-honored art of healing guides doctors in their approach to patient care and their use of medical technology.Customer Reviews:
Awesome!.......2007-06-03

He makes several critical points: the most important task for us as physicians is to first listen to our patients. He encourages us to make our diagnoses and prognoses on the basis of careful history taking and examination, rather than by laboratory testing. He also exhorts us to take the responsibility of appropriately reassuring and encouraging our patients, rather than just always hedging our bets to cover our malpractice worries.
The book is very well written and edited, and contains dozens of fascinating doctor/patient vignettes. He explores the boundaries of the patient/doctor relationship, and is well aware of the times it leads him astray.
He is not afraid to interject his personal religious philosophy (as an agnostic from a Jewish background) but respects those with other opinions.
This text contains far more valuable information for physicians than any biochemistry or histology text. Hopefully wise Deans will make it required reading for their medical school

What a Bargain!.......2003-11-18
One bonus about this book: almost every pattern has a slightly different way to turn a heel (and none of them are done with seams -- they're all knit in the round like real socks). If you have ambitions about being a sock knitter, this is an excellent place to start, since you can practice the techniques without the sock ever having to be comfortable enough to wear!

Required reading for parents.......2000-10-24
Claudia's approach is both practical and informative. She has created a book that is in reality, a reference for the first six years. The activities are easy to understand and perform. For most activities, the only materials needed are a parent, a child, some patience, some encouragement, some love, and some time. I was pleased that the book also included educational components, such as the Stages of Learning (by Jean Piaget) and Alternatives to Television.
Great gift for new parents!.......2000-05-18

What Are the Other Models?
by Susan Mogensen
The discussion forums on PolicyGovernance.com host many illuminating conversations about governance, and occasionally, Board Leadership publishes a particularly articulate and timely post, with grateful acknowledgement of the author. The following is one such post: a pointed question about the alternatives to Policy Governance.
Policy Governance and Other Governance Models Compared
by Caroline Oliver
Many observers would say that Policy Governance is the first "governance model," but boards are presented with a range of other options. In this article, Caroline Oliver gives an overview of those other options. What are they? How do they function? Are they really models, or are they merely descriptions of some common board arrangements? What are their relative advantages and disadvantages? And most important, are they likely to foster good governance?

Violin Music by Women Composers: A Bio-Bibliographical Guide (Music Reference Collection)
Manufacturer: Greenwood Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0313266522 |
Book Description
This bibliography enhances the repertoire of the violinist by providing convenient access to a "new" solo recital, concerto, and chamber music literature: the music of women composers. While other source books exist in which some of this information could be found, it is often incomplete or in such abundance that selection is difficult. This well-organized bibliography will not only simplify the process of obtaining such information, but it represents a valuable contribution to the relatively new study of the musical compositions of women. Violin Music by Women Composers is divided into three main sections: Biographies, Music, and Discography. Preceding these is a general alphabetical index to all the composers included in the work, with reference to information on them contained in the three main sections following. The Biographies section is divided among five eras beginning with Baroque and concluding with Twentieth Century International. The second section of the book, Music, is organized in twelve genre categories in which composers are entered alphabetically along with the titles of their compositions. Wherever possible, information is provided on date of composition, publisher and/or source, and duration; often with additional comments included. Library sources are given for manuscripts and for published music that is out of print; otherwise, a current publisher is listed. The Discography section organizes recorded works alphabetically by composer, then alphabetically by title. This section also includes a directory of recording companies. The volume concludes with a bibliography and references. Violin Music by Women Composers is a unique, up-to-date, and thoughtfully organized resource. Exploring its contents will certainly inform and add to the repertoire of violinists and their presenters.
