Light Award for Applied Medical Sociology, American Sociological Association Medical Sociology Section Winner, 2018 Distinguished Scholarship Award presented by the Pacific Sociology Association Honorable Mention, 2017 ESS Mirra Komarovsky Book Award presented by the Eastern Sociological Society Outstanding Book Award for the Section on Altruism, Morality, and Social Solidarity presented by the American Sociological Association A rich, multi-faceted examination into the attitudes and beliefs of parents who choose not to immunize their children The measles outbreak at Disneyland in December 2014 spread to a half-dozen U.S. states and sickened 147 people. It is just one recent incident that the medical community blames on the nation’s falling vaccination rates. Still, many parents continue to claim that the risks that vaccines pose to their children are far greater than their benefits. Given the research and the unanimity of opinion within the medical community, many ask how such parents—who are most likely to be white, college educated, and with a family income over $75,000—could hold such beliefs.For over a decade, Jennifer Reich has been studying the phenomenon of vaccine refusal from the perspectives of parents who distrust vaccines and the corporations that make them, as well as the health care providers and policy makers who see them as essential to ensuring community health. Reich reveals how parents who opt out of vaccinations see their decision: what they fear, what they hope to control, and what they believe is in their child’s best interest. Based on interviews with parents who fully reject vaccines as well as those who believe in “slow vax,” or altering the number of and time between vaccinations, the author provides a fascinating account of these parents’ points of view. Placing these stories in dialogue with those of pediatricians who see the devastation that can be caused by vaccine-preventable diseases and the policy makers who aim to create healthy communities, Calling the Shots offers a unique opportunity to understand the points of disagreement on what is best for children, communities, and public health, and the ways in which we can bridge these differences.
Описание: An inside look into why Millennials are rejecting careers in politics, and what this means for the future of America's political system Millennials are often publically criticized for being apathetic about the American political process and their lack of interest in political careers. But what do millennials themselves have to say about the prospect of holding political office? Are they as uninterested in political issues and the future of the American political system as the media suggests? Out of the Running goes directly to the source and draws from extensive research, including over 50 interviews, with graduate students in elite institutions that have historically been a direct link for their graduates into state or federal elected office: Harvard Law, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, and Boston's Suffolk University Law School. Shauna Shames, herself a young graduate of Harvard University, suggests that millennials are not uninterested; rather, they don't believe that a career in politics is the best way to create change. Millennials view the system as corrupt or inefficient and are particularly skeptical about the fundraising, frenzied media attention, and loss of privacy that have become staples of the American electoral process. They are clear about their desire to make a difference in the world but feel that the "broken" political system is not the best way to do so--a belief held particularly by millennial women and women of color.
The implications of Shames' argument are crucial for the future of the American political system--how can a system adapt and grow if qualified, intelligent leaders are not involved? An engaging and accessible resource for anyone who follows American politics, Out of the Running highlights the urgent need to fix the American political system, as an absence of diverse millennial candidates leaves its future in a truly precarious position.

Linguadynamics(R)-The Sci-Art of Effective Self-Expression for Winning Life's Riches and Greater Rewards is presented in a series of seven-books collectively called The 7 Gems of Winning. Each book in the series is named for a particular gem stone. The first book in the series is The Diamond Gem of Winning. The remaining six books are the Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, Topaz and Pearl Gems of Winning. (TM) The cover of each book in the series is the color of its gem stone.
The 7 Gems of Winning present the authors' new, trademarked methodology of language-usage called "Linguadynamics." (R) "Lingua" refers to "language;" "dynamics" to "power." Linguadynamics(R) means "language power."
The Gems provide ingenious Linguadynamic Techniques that instruct, train, rehearse and groom readers in using the "language power" of Linguadynamics(R) to become more effective in communication, presentation, and self-expression, more successful in social situation, business transactions and personal endeavors. Linguadynamic Techniques(R) instill unshakeable confidence, imperturbable assurance and unruffled composure when communicating and interacting with others, making presentations, pursuing objectives and fulfilling aspirations.
The authors of the series are Dominic J. Potts, Esq., J.D. and his wife Mena E. Potts, MSW, Ph.D. Author Dominic Potts is a retired award-winning, precedent-setting medical-legal trial attorney with doctoral studies in classical rhetoric, dialectics and forensics conducted under a doctoral fellowship granted by the University of Pittsburgh.
Author Mena E. Potts has a masters degree in psychiatric social worker and was awarded the first ever doctorate in The Psychology of Dreams and Dreaming. She developed the first Mental Health Service in Jefferson County, Ohio, developed the first Head Start Program, first Community Action Council Program and first Family Services Professional Counseling Service in Jefferson County, Ohio.
While litigating against powerful insurance companies on behalf of his clients, the author Dominic Potts employed classical rhetorical principles from his doctoral studies and developed his new methodology of language-usage in order to become more persuasive in his arguments to the court and final summation to a jury. The authors' trademarked language-methodology, "Linguadynamics," proved that during internecine litigational warfare with financially-powerful insurance companies, "Language power eclipsed financial power."
In The 7 Gems of Winning the author has adapted the classical rhetorical principles enunciated by such towering orator-rhetoricians as Cicero, Quintilian, Cato and Fronto so readers can readily use them and become more effective in communication, impressive in presentation and persuasive in self-expression, enabling readers to "win" desired objectives, succeed in sought endeavors and fulfill aspirations not otherwise possible.
The 7 Gems of Winning are interesting, informative, witty and enjoyable to read and readily understandable, providing witty illustrations, enabling the to use Linguadynamics to impress, bond and win over others in the course of pursuing objectives, enterprises or aspirations previously beyond reach.
