This book includes a foreword by Peter Baker, Chief Executive, The Men's Health Forum. Male weight problems are a serious public health issue and can lead to hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes and cancer. If current trends continue, the prospect of the majority of men becoming overweight is a very real one, and urgent action is imperative. The middle-aged spread that most men 'expect' to develop as they enter into their thirties and forties is now occurring much earlier with boys and young men developing life limiting weight problems. This multidisciplinary guide provides a gender...

"Being and God" argues that defensible philosophical theorization concerning the topic God is both possible and necessary within the framework of an adequate systematic philosophy which must include a theory of Being but is not possible in the absence of such a framework. The book provides critiques of philosophical approaches to this topic that have not relied on such frameworks; targets include the most important and influential treatments presented by historical, contemporary analytic, and contemporary continental philosophers. The book also further develops the systematic framework...

A magisterial work in the grand tradition of systematic philosophy not seen in this country perhaps since Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality (1929), this book by a leading German philosopher aims to resurrect systematic philosophy as an essential part of the theoretical enterprise. In Lorenz Puntel's vision, philosophy as the universal science can be holistic without being imperialistic.
The book presents theoretical frameworks as indispensable for any and all theorizing. It argues that there can be truths only relative to sufficiently determinable theoretical...

Moral values are real--we don't just make them up. Beauty is in the world--it's not just in the eye of the beholder. You are free--what you do is not always determined by electrochemical processes in your brain. And the universe we live in is God's creation.
These are radical claims. But they are widely rejected in contemporary philosophy because they are almost always considered in relative isolation from one another. This book shows that when they are considered in conjunction, they gain mutual support. And it shows this both clearly and concisely.
But its systematic approach...

Alan's years of experience as a natural health practitioner and counsellor helped him and his wife, Fiona, to make the choice that no man really wants to make - surgical removal of the prostate gland - and to recover, physically and emotionally.
Talking about the things not usually discussed - sex after surgery, giant incontinence pads and how to wrangle your overnight urine bag - Alan shares his story and his discoveries. Fiona...

Just one season...it can change things. Even in the backwoods of south Alabama.
It seemed the whole world was changing in 1969, but Joe Parker, widowed and 67, had little hope that his lonely life would ever be different. At least turkey season was about to start, and his grandson Connor was coming to visit soon.
Connor was embittered by a tragedy he didn't understand. In the city, being 15 was harrowing enough. Spring Break promised a reprieve from the distress and some time with PawPaw.
Strange how things can change.
