Bodybuilding, Drugs and Risk

Autor: Lee Monaghan

Número de Páginas: 234

Current popular interest in bodies, fitness, sport and active lifestyles, has made bodybuilding more visible and acceptable within mainstream society than ever before. However, the association between bodybuilding, drugs and risk has contributed to a negative image of an activity which many people find puzzling. Using data obtained from participant observation and interviews, this book explores bodybuilding subculture from the perspective of the bodybuilder. It looks at: * How bodybuilders try to maintain competent social identities * How they manage the risks of using steroids and other physique-enhancing drugs * How they understand the alleged steroid-violence link * How they 'see' the muscular body. Through systematic exploration it becomes apparent that previous attempts to explain bodybuilding in terms of 'masculinity-in-crisis' or gender insecurity are open to question. Different and valuable insights into what sustains and legitimizes potentially dangerous drug-taking activities are provided by this detailed picture of a huge underground subculture.

The Superman Syndrome

Autor: Robert H. Kamm

Número de Páginas: 312

Buy Robert H. Kamm's CD, Johnny McConnell September 11th Suite and other Songs by Bob Kamm at www.springbound.com/bobkamm In his unique book, the superman syndrome, consultant Robert H. Kamm looks beneath the obvious advances of the shimmering new technology-centered economy. He finds increasing evidence of substantial emotional and spiritual pain across America, not just among those who have benefited least, but also among those who have benefited most. In a realm of blurred boundaries and vanished time, business people and their spouses are negotiating away central elements of their existence, most notably the sweet enterprise of parenting. Parenting calls us to live at depth, but we cannot live at depth when we live at speed. Why are we so easily caught up in the flash and rush of The Information Age? Why don't we hold our ground against its momentum? Why do we seem to lack the vision, strength and determination to truly structure our lives around what we espouse as our most deeply cherished values – God, family, friendship, community – rather than around work? American parents are spending dramatically less quality time with their children than was the case thirty years...

My Flesh Is out of Control

Autor: Pastor R.a. White

Número de Páginas: 58

My Flesh Is Out of Control was written to bring spiritual awareness so you can recognize the tricks of the enemy. It is as if some of us are in a minefield or in a place of destruction, not knowing that one bad step will cause you to commit spiritual suicide. Many of us are unaware of our surroundings, because we are blinded by our addictions and struggles. We feel that we have failed God and ourselves, and have allowed guilt and shame to drive us into a place of depression and low self-esteem. We have tried to control our environment and have become spiritually blind. Our sight has gone dim. The plan of the enemy is left undetected; we are not able to see him coming. The ability to focus and make clear decisions pertaining to our everyday lifeour ministries, health, finances, and how we govern our familyis now lost.

A Child’S Health Journal

Autor: Dr. Vincent N. Cefalu Sr.

Número de Páginas: 454

This book is a simplified version for the child who must begin looking at life from the real side. I was severely overweight for a very long time, and because of this, there was damage to my blood vessels and heart that will be permanent. So my intention is to warn the extremely young person that healthy eating is absolutely necessary, and the earlier it is started, the better the child will be able to keep the weight down later on in life and avoid its consequences. I present what I consider to be the perfect diet for the youngster to become healthier. It is a sad fact that overweight children are constantly teased by their friends, and they know that losing weight and becoming more attractive is the only answer. I explain some reactions that are constantly taking place inside our body so that the child can understand why it can be difficult to lose weight, why we become overweight, how overeating causes type 2 diabetes, and what must be done to prevent these problems. Also, a diabetic would hopefully come to realize that losing weight is the only sure cure. Along with this, I remind all my young readers that there are many dangerous things that exist around us, some made by man, ...

Lyric Heart

Autor: Bob Kamm

Número de Páginas: 300

This is poetry everyone can enjoy, but do yourself a favor and read it aloud Norm Jackson, Ph.D. Poetry should be more than a clever collection of words and images. The poet must be a person who has truly lived and experienced the joys and agonies of the heart. Bob Kamm is that type of poet Barry Bernfeld, Ph.D. Bob Kamm rejects the idea that poetry is a language of the gods. He makes it fully human in this collection of exceptional scope, addressing all the major domains of the average persons lifefamily, love, work, war, spirit and laughter. Yes, these are poems that should be read out loudon the subway or in the suburbs, in the workplace or at funerals, weddings or births, on ordinary days, days of epiphany, days of sorrow, days of falling in love and out, days when you lose your faith in humanity and regain itany and all days when your own heart longs to sing and either cant find the words or needs another to take up harmony.

Is Our Vision of God Obsolete?

Autor: G.r. Pafumi

Número de Páginas: 490

Our vision of God varies by culture. It has changed over the millennia. We no longer believe in the pagan gods of the Romans and Greeks. Why should we expect that our current view of God will not change? Scientific knowledge and discovery is occurring at a pace never before experienced in human history. Yet our concept of God remains mired in the 15th century. This is about to change. It will become increasingly difficult for religions to convince believers educated in modern science to blindly accept as truth religious dogmas conceived centuries ago. Religious scripture is a combination of literature, myth and superstition. Science will invalidate many of these myths. This is why intelligent design advocates fear science.

The Affairs of Men

Autor: Harvey E. Kaye

Número de Páginas: 224

Dr. Harvey Kaye, emeritus assistant clinical professor of Psychiatry at New York Medical College, has spent decades analyzing matters of gender and sexual orientation. He's seen modern men lured by the siren song of the "Masculine Mystique" and pressured to fulfill the "Dominance Drive" and the "Heroic Imperative." The result is The Affairs of Men, a wry view of the masculine wilderness. Pressured by conflicting societal and familial standards, besieged by unrelenting demands to be sexier, wealthier, more successful, "more of a man," men pay a price in marriage, in the bedroom, in the workplace, and most important, in their sense of identity. It's clear that men are at a cultural crossroads, facing difficult questions: Why do men attempt to achieve impossible goals? How do gay men fit into overall images of masculinity? Are traditional male-female relationship passé? What roles should men take in their families? The Affairs of Men wittily illuminates the world of men, looking at both the origins of western society's image of masculinity and its current landscape. Dr. Kaye states that men must embrace a new vision of what it means to be a man. Men must give up the entrenched myth...

Número de Páginas: 235

American Dream or American Nightmare? Norman Spinrad describes The Star-Spangled Future: "America is something new under the sun. not so much a nation at all as a precog flash of the future of the species . . . I wrote believing that I was simply writing disconnected science fiction stories from whatever came into my head . . . And they all turned out to be about America, the leading edge of all possible futures unfolding around us . . . After all, that was what was coming into my head, that's the mother lode of science fiction realities - the American fusion plasma of which we are creatures - and all we have to do is keep ourselves open to it . . . that's my definition of science fiction. We have seen the future and it is us."

This Place of Wrath and Tears

Autor: Clyde V. Collard

Número de Páginas: 285

What appears to be a tale of progressive development and reversal of a life path in the portrayal of a single individual is, in reality, a quest for answers and a declaration of opinion concerning the questions we ponder. In describing the 78 years of his own chronological development, Dr. Clyde v. Collard has painted a vivid picture of the human condition and the forces explicit in shaping the biological and social existence of each of us. In the generic sense, that which applies to one human applies to all humans. John Donne expressed that sentiment when he wrote, And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. The author here states, Look, then into the glass, perceive yourself And now . . . choose.
