Aids, Behavior, and Culture: Understanding Evidence-Based Prevention
ISBN: 9781598744781 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. AIDS, Behavior, and Culture presents a bold challenge to the prevailing wisdom of "the global AIDS industry" and offers an alternative framework for understanding what works in HIV prevention. Arguing for a behavior-based approach, Green and Ruark make the case that the most effective programs are those that encourage fundamental behavioral changes such as abstinence, delay of sex, faithfulness, and cessation of injection drug use. Successful programs are locally based, low cost, low tech, innovative, and built on existing cultural structures. In contrast, they argue that anthropologists and...

ISBN: 9781609112196 / Angielski / Miękka / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1958, South Africa was going through one of its most horrendous eras - Apartheid. Andrina Abrahamse writes a riveting, personal account of her experiences growing up and working during this pivotal period. Drina, as she was known to her family and friends, suffered atrocities beyond comprehension as a child.

Viewing contemporary history from the perspective of the AIDS crisis, Jennifer Brier provides rich, new understandings of the United States' complex social and political trends in the post-1960s era.

Infectious Ideas places recent...

ISBN: 9780754645795 / Angielski / Twarda / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The political impact of HIV/AIDS varies greatly and is difficult to map. States depend on how governments choose to manage the political implications of HIV and AIDS, both those stemming from the erosions of its own capacity as well as those that originate from their changing relationship on a national and international level. Across the developing world, HIV/AIDS is slowly killing adults in their most productive years, hollowing out state structures, deepening poverty and raising profound questions that touch on the organization of all aspects of social, economic and political life. With the...

Naturalne leczenie boreliozy
ISBN: 9788360170410 / Polski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. „Borelioza jest uleczalna; nie ma powodu do strachu!”
Do takiego wniosku doszedł Wolf-Dieter Storl, etnobotanik, który sam padł ofiarą boreliozy, po przeprowadzeniu intensywnych i szeroko zakrojonych badań. Przenoszona przez kleszcze borelioza jest chorobą wieloukładową, która może zaatakować każdy narząd i upozorować każdy objaw. Krętki boreliozy potrafią zmylić układ odpornościowy, a antybiotyki w konfrontacji z nimi są często bezsilne. Elementy skutecznego leczenia boreliozy można jednak odnaleźć w tradycyjnej medycynie chińskiej, w uzdrowicielskiej wiedzy... „Borelioza jest uleczalna; nie ma powodu do strachu!”

This book discusses the significance of late twentieth century and early twenty first century American fiction written in response to the AIDS crisis and interrogates how sexual identity is depicted and constructed textually. Pearl develops Freudian psychoanalytic theory in a complex account of the ways in which grief is expressed and worked out in literature, showing how key texts from the AIDS crisis by authors such as Edmund White, Michael Cunningham, Eve Sedgwick - and also, later, the archives of The ACT UP Oral History Project - lie both within the tradition of gay writing and a...

The Gentrification of the Mind: Witness to a Lost Imagination
ISBN: 9780520280069 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this gripping memoir of the AIDS years (1981-1996), Sarah Schulman recalls how much of the rebellious queer culture, cheap rents, and a vibrant downtown arts movement vanished almost overnight to be replaced by gay conservative spokespeople and mainstream consumerism. Schulman takes us back to her Lower East Side and brings it to life, filling these pages with vivid memories of her avant-garde queer friends and dramatically recreating the early years of the AIDS crisis as experienced by a political insider. Interweaving personal reminiscence with cogent analysis, Schulman details her...

Morality, Hope and Grief: Anthropologies of AIDS in Africa
ISBN: 9781845456634 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "We have come to expect that an emergent disease, once the initial hysteria it sparks has died down, will either be eradicated by money and medicine, or it will settle into the prosaic landscape of ordinary maladies with attendant routines, inconveniences, and bureaucratic exasperations. In Africa, AIDS has not followed either pathway. This outstanding collection of essays takes explicit aim at the tensions that this 'non-resolution' has generated in the world region that has felt the greatest impact of the disease: eastern and southern Africa. In these papers, we see vividly how the...
