Esta obra ofrece una descripción de los eventos, los personajes, las políticas, los conflictos y las decisiones que han marcado la evolución histórica de la medicina, tanto biomédica como tradicional, y las prácticas corporales de salud conocidas como qigong en la China contemporánea, es decir, desde el final de la dinastía Qing (1644-1911) a la actualidad. La primera parte se centra en la medicina y aborda cuestiones tan importantes como los motivos que llevaron a los gobernantes chinos a modernizar la medicina nacional bajo el referente del modelo biomédico occidental, el papel que jugaron las pandemias originadas en China a principios del siglo XX para desencadenar dicho proceso, las reacciones de los representantes de la medicina tradicional a los nuevos conocimientos anatómicos, fisiológicos e higiénicos que llegaban de Occidente, el proceso de “reinvención” de la acupuntura para adaptarla a los nuevos tiempos o la situación actual de la investigación científica con relación a los beneficios que aporta la Medicina Tradicional China. La segunda parte está dedicada a las prácticas identificadas bajo el término de qigong. Aquí se describe el proceso político que enmarcó el nacimiento de este término en los años 50, las condiciones que facilitaron la introducción de estas prácticas dentro del nuevo sistema sanitario chino, el “boom” del qigong que se produjo en China a mediados de los años 80-90 y todos los problemas que se derivaron de ello, el proceso de regulación oficial del sector que se puso en marcha debido a los escándalos y fraudes protagonizados por supuestos maestros y los efectos negativos que se estaban documentando entre sus practicantes, así como el estado actual de las investigaciones científicas en este ámbito.
A tale of Europe in the days just before the war. It tells of a small group of Jewish holiday makers in the resort of Badenheim in the Spring of 1939. Hitler's war looms, but Badenheim and its summer residents go about life as normal."
The importance and influence of professions in public life has grown increasingly over the twentieth century but the question of whether they subordinate their own self-interests to the public interest has yet to be adequately researched within a major sociological perspective. In Professions and the Public Interest Mike Saks develops a theoretical and methodological framework for assessing professional groups in Western society. The empirical applicability of this framework is demonstrated with particular reference to a novel case study of the response of the medical profession to acupuncture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Professions and the Public Interest will be of great interest to all lecturers and students of social policy, sociology, and medical sociology as well as to professional groups and their members.

Poised between the secular values of socialism and the conservatism of a tenuously balanced government, Istanbul of 1977 was a fractured city haunted by demons of its own making. Along with thousands of other left-wing activists, Oak's interest in politics leads him to join the annual May Day rallies. There he encounters Zuhal, a fearless girl with a gun. As battles rage between nationalists and socialists, Oak witnesses the violent suppression of dissident minorities by his fellow citizens. The bewitching Zuhal begins to shape his ideals, bringing him face to face with disillusionment, and death.
In this timely book, Roman de la Campa asks to what degree the Latin America studied in U.S. academies is actually an entity "made in the U.S.A." He argues that there is an ever-increasing gap between the political, theoretical, and financial pressures affecting the U.S. academy and Latin America's own cultural, political, and literary practices. De la Campa focuses on the conduct of Latin American literary criticism in U.S. universities and compares this with the "Latin Americanism" of Latin America itself.
In this work, the authors provide the first systematic exploration of the philosophical foundations and the historical development of qualitative inquiry for language and literacy researchers, novices and experts alike.
