Tarcher’s updated edition of an international, perennial bestseller—with more than 250,000 copies sold worldwide. As a young veterinarian and decathlon athlete, Dr. Ian Gawler had his right leg amputated as a result of bone cancer in 1975. The cancer returned later that year. Against almost impossible odds, he recovered and went on to found one of the world’s first lifestyle-based cancer self-help and support programs in 1981. Originally published in 1984, You Can Conquer Cancer is a revolutionary book that has sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide and has been translated into fourteen languages. This edition is completely updated and contains whole sections that provide important new information and self-help techniques. Notable for its clarity, this book expands upon what is a truly integrated, holistic approach to cancer—emphasizing nutrition, the power of the mind, meditation, family and social support, and the spiritual dimension of life.

Problems in Physical Chemistry presents problems relating to atoms, orbitals, valency, and the periodic table; to thermochemistry, heats of reaction, and bond energies; and to ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. The book also includes problems relating to kinetic theory and molecular weights; to equilibrium, dissociation and Le Chatelier's principle; and to ionic equilibria, pH, indicators and solubility product. The text also covers problems relating to redox processes; to electrical properties of solutions; to partition coefficient; and to reaction rates. Students studying the chemistry syllabus will find the book useful.

The startling economic and political answers behind Europe's historical dominance Between 1492 and 1914, Europeans conquered 84 percent of the globe. But why did Europe establish global dominance, when for centuries the Chinese, Japanese, Ottomans, and South Asians were far more advanced? In Why Did Europe Conquer the World?, Philip Hoffman demonstrates that conventional explanations—such as geography, epidemic disease, and the Industrial Revolution—fail to provide answers. Arguing instead for the pivotal role of economic and political history, Hoffman shows that if certain variables had been different, Europe would have been eclipsed, and another power could have become master of the world. Hoffman sheds light on the two millennia of economic, political, and historical changes that set European states on a distinctive path of development, military rivalry, and war. This resulted in astonishingly rapid growth in Europe's military sector, and produced an insurmountable lead in gunpowder technology. The consequences determined which states established colonial empires or ran the slave trade, and even which economies were the first to industrialize. Debunking traditional arguments, Why Did Europe Conquer the World? reveals the startling reasons behind Europe's historic global supremacy.

No one searches for adversity. Bad things happen. Yet how many of us will know what to do to prevent our lives from spiraling out of control when we encounter traumatic events that threaten our safety, careers, emotions, health, or relationships? In this pragmatic and inspirational book, experienced US-based life coach and former psychotherapist Eileen Lenson shows us tools to turn suffering into hope and develop resilience by combining scientific research with an understanding of our emotional and spiritual lives. She cuts through existing myths and provides readers with a look into what it takes to not just overcome adversity and survive, but to thrive. Written to help anyone who finds themselves in a painful place, regardless of social background, culture, religion or education, each chapter describes from a scientific, psychological and spiritual perspective, why we do the things we do. Armed with this knowledge we can learn to manage our feelings and respond to devastating events with the skills to seek healthy coping options and change our lives for the better. In this book you’ll learn how to: • Use five core factors of your life — forgiveness, courage, perspective, perseverance, and hope — to reduce emotional suffering. • Identify and replace unproductive coping skills with healthy thoughts, feelings and behaviors. • Master new skills through practice exercises. • Benefit from the stories of others, just like you, who have faced and overcome adversity.
