“From Sun to Sun” is a slim volume, only 250 pages, but feels larger, as if it expands to fill an enormous intellectual and emotional space.
Author Nina McKissock has been a nurse for 39 years and involved with hospice care for 15 years. She has been “around the block,” as it were, and, as such, a reader opens “Sun,” with some trepidation and more than a couple of questions.
The 24-chapter book is about death and dying, the most persistent and profound puzzlement faced by human beings. Apart from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and her 1969 “On Death and Dying” (and its 1975 sequel “Death: The Final Stage of Growth”), the subject has never formed an overwhelmingly popular genre, although the literature has been largely thoughtful and compelling. The problem, in a word, is that the subject is scary.
The nascent reader – especially if unfamiliar with hospice care – will wonder if this will be gruesome or frightening or, conversely, awe-inspiring and revelatory. What, goes the apprehension, has McKissock seen? What insights will she offer into this greatest mystery?
First: full disclosure. I am part of this book, although not by name — and for one small paragraph only. McKissock refers to her care for my dying father toward the end of chapter seven’s “Clarentine.” The nurse helped my brother and me, in 2006, confront a resistant stepmother as our father was dying of leukemia in his home.
McKissock smoothed my father’s path, dealing with his deepest personal issues: religious belief, love, family, the future of those he left behind and, most certainly, the hope, faith and fear he faced.
The disclosure is important for two reasons: McKissock beautifully eased the transition for our entire family, lending gentility, humor, honesty and grace to the process.

This book is great for kids’ play-dates or as an in-classroom activity for kindergarteners. The format and clarity of instructions makes it easy for kids to work with this book on their own. The characters are cute and cover most of the well known superheros. And the geometric shapes makes it easy for 5-8 year olds to draw them, both on paper and on the computer / ipad using sketchbook or other similar software.

My kids love this book and I would highly recommend it for anyone with kids who love superheros.

I have a 6 year old son who loves two things right now Superheroes and Drawing. This book is perfect for his age level! He loves it. The book breaks it down into simple shapes and steps for the child. We also bought the How to Draw Comic Book Super Villains and How to Draw More Comic Book Super Heroes from Steve Hiker, and I know I don’t know everything about comics, but I am pretty sure these books cover how to draw almost all the characters he talks about. I definitely would recommend them.

My 9 year old son totally LOVED this book. He really enjoyed making the drawings. He liked it so much, he carried this book around. Most superhero drawing books are way too complex for his skill level. This was attainable and fun. I highly recommend this. I hope Steve Hilker will continue to make more drawing books like this…maybe Minecraft!

The Psychology of Overeating Epub Free

The Psychology of Overeating: Food and the Culture of Consumerism
Author: Kima Cargill ID: 1472581083

Review

Psychologist Kima Cargill takes a tough, critical look at today’s consumerist culture from the perspective of research as well as of observations drawn from her clinical experience with patients struggling with weight issues. To stop overeating in today’s food environment means finding effective ways to counter the many moral, political, economic, and social imperatives to consume. The ideas in this book should inspire readers to think of obesity in an entirely different way–more as the result of a consumerist society than of individual weakness. — Marion Nestle, New York University

Kima Cargill’s work is at the forefront of the intersection of clinical psychology and food studies, bringing to the field the insights of hands on practice and the objective humanistic analysis current among food scholars. She is among the very few academics who understands modern eating disorders within the broader perspective of food culture. This book promises to bridge what is an enormous gulf between theory and practice and will prove to be essential reading for working psychologists and students of food in America. She writes with panache and verve in a way that will be accessible to general readers and professionals alike. (University of the Pacific, USA Ken Albala)

An important contribution to food studies scholarship, as no other work covers quite the same territory. Cargill’s discussion connecting consumerism in its broadest sense to food consumption is a unique, impressive contribution to contemporary discussions of food and health in the United States. — Amy Bentley, New York University

Book Description

A lively interdisciplinary text which brings together perspectives from clinical psychology and food studies to examine overeating as a contemporary cultural problem.

I read this book because I saw that Marion Nestle reviewed it. It’s a great book that looks at American consumerism, not just overeating, but overspending as well. It’s very critical of the food industry and shows many of the ways they trick people into eating more. This is not a diet book or a self-help book. It’s a serious read, but well worth the effort. It actually helped me to understand why overeating is not really about willpower but about bigger social problems. The author makes it very relatable with interesting stories and examples.
