Your Pocket is What Cures You: The Politics of Health in Senegal - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In the wake of structural adjustment programs in the 1980s and health reforms in the 1990s, the majority of sub-Saharan African governments spend less than ten dollars per capita on health annually, and many Africans have limited access to basic medical care. Using a community-level approach, anthropologist Ellen E. Foley analyzes the implementation of global health policies and how they become intertwined with existing social and political inequalities in Senegal. Your Pocket Is What Cures You examines qualitative shifts in health and healing spurred by these reforms, and analyzes the dilemmas they create for health professionals and patients alike. It also explores how cultural frameworks, particularly those stemming from Islam and Wolof ethnomedicine, are central to understanding how people manage vulnerability to ill health.While offering a critique of neoliberal health policies, Your Pocket Is What Cures You remains grounded in ethnography to highlight the struggles of men and women who are precariously balanced on twin precipices of crumbling health systems and economic decline. Their stories demonstrate what happens when market-based health reforms collide with material, political, and social realities in African societies.
Tréfál, Feynman úr? - egy mindenre kíváncsi pasas kalandjai Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Emlékeim szerint tizenegy vagy tizenkét éves lehettem, amikor laboratóriumot nyitottam aházunkban. Ez a laboratórium mindössze egy jókora, öreg faládából állt, amelybe polcokatszerkesztettem, s mindehhez jött még egy főzőlap - emlékszem, állandóan rósejbnit sütöttemrajta zsírban -, valamint egy akkumulátor és egy kapcsolótábla.A kapcsolótábla megszerkesztését azzal kezdtem, hogy lementem a vegyesboltba,vásároltam néhány foglalatot, aztán egy falapra csavaroztam és csengőzsinórral összekötöttemőket, éspedig többféleképpen, sorosan vagy párhuzamosan, hogy különfélefeszültségértékeket kapjak. Azt persze nem tudtam, hogy az izzó ellenállása a hőmérsékletétőlis függ, ennélfogva számításaim soha nem vágtak egybe a tényleges feszültséggel - de mitbántam én! Amikor a sorba kötött izzók fél fényerővel földerengtek, hát az valamigyőőőőnyörű volt!Egy biztosítékot is beépítettem a rendszerbe: ha az áramkör rövidre záródott valahol, abiztosíték rögtön kiégett. Mármost az én biztosítékomnak feltétlenül gyengébbnek kellettlennie, mint a házunkban beépített főbiztosítéknak, ezért magamnak kellett elkészítenem:sztaniol-papírba göngyöltem egy régi, kiégett biztosítékot, azután a két végére rákötöttem egyötwattos izzót. Ha kiégett a biztosíték, az akkumulátort folyamatosan tápláló csepptöltőből azáram az izzóba jutott, mire az világítani kezdett. Az izzót fölszereltem a kapcsolótáblára,aztán beburkoltam barna süteményespapírral, ami pirosnak látszik, ha fény elé tesszük; harövidzárlat támadt valahol az áramkörben, csak felpillantottam a kapcsolószekrényre, és avörös fény máris megmutatta, hol ment ki a biztosíték. Húúú, de tetszett!Imádtam a rádiókat. Egy kristálydetektorossal kezdtem; a boltban vettem odalent, éséjszakánként, már félálomban, fejhallgatóval rádióztam az ágyban. Ha anyám és apámkiruccantak valahová, és csak késő éjjel jöttek haza, mindig benéztek hozzám, levették afejemről a fejhallgatót - és közben azon aggódtak, hogy álmomban vajon miféle rémségekettölthet a fejembe a rádió...Akkortájt történt, hogy kiötlöttem egy pofonegyszerű riasztót, ami semmi másból nemállt, csak egy méretes telepből, egy csengőből és némi vezetékből. Ha kinyílt a szobám ajtaja,a vezeték vége hozzáért a telephez, záródott az áramkör és megszólalt a csengő. Egyik esteanyám és apám későn jöttek meg. Lábujjhegyen, nehogy fölébredjen a gyerek, benyitottak aszobámba, hogy szokás szerint levegyék a fejemről a fejhallgatót, mire hirtelen - DANG!DANG! DANG! DANG! - pokoli kolompolással megszólalt a csengő, én meg nagy boldogankiugrottam az ágyból: - „Működik! Működik!
Ten Things I Love About You (Bevelstoke, Book 3) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ―Annabel!‖Annabel snapped to attention. Louisa was addressing her with uncommon urgency, and she‘d dowell to listen.―Annabel, this is important,‖ Louisa said.Annabel nodded, and an unfamiliar feeling washed over her—maybe of gratitude, certainly oflove. She‘d only just got to know her cousin, but already there was a deep bond of affection, andshe knew that Louisa would do everything in her power to keep Annabel from making anunhappy alliance.Unfortunately, Louisa‘s power was, in this capacity, limited. And she did not—no, she couldnot—understand the pressures of being the eldest daughter of an impoverished family.―Listen to me,‖ Louisa implored. ―Lord Newbury‘s son died, oh, I think it must be a bit over ayear ago. And he started looking for a wife before his son was cold in his grave.‖―Shouldn‘t he have found one by now, then?‖Louisa shook her head. ―He almost married Mariel Willingham.‖―Who?‖ Annabel blinked, trying to place the name.―Exactly. You‘ve never heard of her. She died.‖Annabel felt her eyebrows rise. It was really a rather emotionless delivery of such tragic news.―Two days before the wedding she took a chill.‖―She died in only two days?‖ Annabel asked. It was a morbid question, but, well, she had toknow.―No. Lord Newbury insisted upon delaying the ceremony. He said it was for her welfare, thatshe was too ill to stand up in church, but everyone knew that he really just wanted to make sureshe was healthy enough to bear him a son.‖―And then?‖―Well, and then she did die. She lingered for about a fortnight. It was really very sad. She wasalways very kind to me.‖ Louisa gave her head a little shake, then continued. ―It was a near missfor Lord Newbury. If he‘d married her, he would have had to go into mourning. As it was, hehad already tried to wed scandalously soon after his son‘s death. If Miss Willingham hadn‘t diedbefore the wedding, he‘d have had another year of black.‖―How long did he wait before looking for someone else?‖ Annabel asked, dreading the answer.―Not more than two weeks. Honestly, I don‘t think he would have waited that long if he thoughthe could have got away with it.‖ Louisa looked about, her eyes falling on Annabel‘s sherry. ―Ineed some tea,‖ she said.

23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism", one of today's most iconoclastic thinkers destroys the biggest myths about the world we live in. It may have its flaws, but there's no real alternative to free-market capitalism - ultimately it's making us all more prosperous. The West is more efficient and financially savvy than the developing world. And technology is the way forward for everyone. Right? Wrong. This book will turn every piece of received economic wisdom you've heard on its head. It reveals the truth behind what 'they' tell you and shows how the system really works, including: There's no such thing as a 'free' market; Globalization isn't making the world richer; We don't live in a digital world - the washing machine has changed lives more than the internet; Poor countries are more entrepreneurial than rich ones; and, Higher paid managers don't produce better results. This galvanizing, fact-packed book about money, equality, freedom and greed proves that the free market isn't just bad for people - it's an inefficient way of running economies too. Here Chang lays out the alternatives, and shows there's a better way.
Virus of the Mind: The Revolutionary New Science of the Meme and How It Can Help You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: We are surrounded by information in the 21st Century: we are bombarded by advertising, attitudes, celebrities, news, wars, fashion, the latest fads...the sheer amount of information we have access to appears untameable, unworkable, and too much to gain sense from unless we pick and choose very carefully. However, our choices are very often made for us as the result of advertising, media companies, the government and popular culture. The results of these choices are called memes, and their impact is shaping not just society but us individually, and on a core level, beyond psychology, personal free will, and even genetics. The very first book on the subject of memes, and how they behave just like viruses, this is an incredible study into the power of communication and 'going along with everyone else'. "Virus of the Mind" explains just how we are 'infected' by the deliberate shaping of society's attitudes and behaviours - and how we can cure ourselves.
