Besides finances and the economy, the topic of health is constantly in the media. Reports on advancements in medicine, new diets, beneficial foods, and exercise tips are commonplace. Of specific interest for Christians is that many reports are urging people to adopt healthful practices that God prescribed as the best methods to achieve optimum health. In The Distant Sound of Wisdom, Warren A. Shipton argues that the human race was created for a purpose, which includes the enjoyment of life. The natural laws governing life and well-being include the mind and the body—physical, mental, and spiritual health. Within this volume, Shipton examines the factors that contribute to physical health, including the benefits of a plant-based diet, which is a significant determinant of a long and healthy life. He then moves into a discussion of mental and social health and how individuals can improve in those areas. Finally, he focuses on the importance of spiritual health and a relationship with the Creator of life. The book contains extensive documentation of scientific studies and current research in the areas of health while presenting corresponding biblical truths that affirm the authority of the Bible.
This volume unearths the emerging pattern of consumption of opium in colonial Assam and the creation of drug-dependency in a social context. It analyses the competing forces of the empire which played a key role in the production and distribution of opium; national politics alongside international drug diplomacy and how these together shaped the discourse of opium in Assam; the wider implications of opium production and consumption in the agrarian economy and the narrative of the nationalist critique of intoxication. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
This is the first book that analyzes and systematizes all the general ideas of medicine, in particular the philosophical ones, which are usually tacit. Instead of focusing on one or two points — typically disease and clinical trial — this book examines all the salient aspects of biomedical research and practice: the nature of disease; the logic of diagnosis; the discovery and design of drugs; the design of lab and clinical trials; the crafting of therapies and design of protocols; the moral duties and rights of physicians and patients; the distinctive features of scientific medicine and of medical quackery; the unique combination of basic and translational research; the place of physicians and nurses in society; the task of medical sociology; and the need for universal medical coverage. Health care workers, medicine buffs, and philosophers will find this thought-provoking book highly useful in their line of work and research.
