Book Description
This open access textbook represents a vital contribution to global health education, offering insights into health promotion as part of patient care for bachelor’s and master’s students in health care (nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiotherapists, social care workers etc.) as well as health care professionals, and providing an overview of the field of health science and health promotion for PhD students and researchers. Written by leading experts from seven countries in Europe, America, Africa and Asia, it first discusses the theory of health promotion and vital concepts. It then presents updated evidence-based health promotion approaches in different populations (people with chronic diseases, cancer, heart failure, dementia, mental disorders, long-term ICU patients, elderly individuals, families with newborn babies, palliative care patients) and examines different health promotion approaches integrated into primary care services. This edited scientific anthology provides much-needed knowledge, translating research into guidelines for practice. Today’s medical approaches are highly developed; however, patients are human beings with a wholeness of body-mind-spirit. As such, providing high-quality and effective health care requires a holistic physical-psychological-social-spiritual model of health care is required. A great number of patients, both in hospitals and in primary health care, suffer from the lack of a holistic oriented health approach: Their condition is treated, but they feel scared, helpless and lonely. Health promotion focuses on improving people’s health in spite of illnesses. Accordingly, health care that supports/promotes patients’ health by identifying their health resources will result in better patient outcomes: shorter hospital stays, less re-hospitalization, being better able to cope at home and improved well-being, which in turn lead to lower health-care costs. This scientific anthology is the first of its kind, in that it connects health promotion with the salutogenic theory of health throughout the chapters. the authors here expand the understanding of health promotion beyond health protection and disease prevention. The book focuses on describing and explaining salutogenesis as an umbrella concept, not only as the key concept of sense of coherence.

Book Description
Kendra can't stand Wade. The feeling is mutual. Until someone changes the rules. This has been an epic trashy week. I’m studying to write the bar exam, and my best friend is getting married soon. As much as I hate it, my friends and I take her out for a bachelorette party. There’s a live band playing, and the lead singer just drips cocky attitude. The guy literally crashes into me in the bathroom hallway and he acts like it’s my fault. With his rudeness and course language, it takes everything in me not to clock him the way that my father taught me when I was a little girl. And then, when I don’t think that my week could get any worse, he shows up at the law firm the next day…and he’s my new client. *** What a horrible night. Normally, every chick in this place gives me bedroom eyes, but this one redhead, if looks could kill, I’d be dead. She’s like a disgruntled librarian with a bun in her hair so tight it’s like a facelift. We all but duke it out after she ploughs into me. Then this other chick shows up later, none-too-pleased, claiming that I fathered her unborn child! I should wear a sign that says, ‘Newsflash: I’m the only Ford kid that doesn’t have an inheritance, so back off!’. That should do it. But the message never gets across. I mean, what can you take away from a man to hurt him, when he already has nothing? Truth is, there’s plenty, especially after tonight… HEA (Happily Ever After) Hate to love romance Rock star romance Military romance Medium heat Course language Mild cliffhanger ending Second book in a complete 5 book standalone series "Music with fireworks!

Book Description
A dazzling story of fathers, sons, and brothers - bound by love, divided by history. The Auberons are a lovably neurotic, infernally intelligent family who love and hate each other-and themselves -- in equal measure. Driven both by grief at his young mother's death and war with his distant, abusive immigrant father, patriarch Isidore almost attains the life of his dreams: he works his way through Harvard and then medical school; he marries a beautiful and even-keeled girl; in his father-in-law, he finds the father he always wanted; and he becomes a father himself. He has talent, but he also has rage, and happiness is not meant to be his for very long. Isidore's sons, Leo and Mack, haunted by the mythic, epic proportions of their father's heroics and the tragic events that marked their early lives, have alternately relied upon and disappointed one another since the day Mack was born. For Leo, who is angry at the world but angrier at himself, the burden of the past shapes his future: sexual awakening, first love, and restless attempts live up to his father's ideals. Just when Leo reaches a crossroads between potential self-destruction and new freedom, Mack invites him on a road trip from Los Angeles to Cleveland. As the brothers make their way east, and towards understanding, their battles and reconciliations illuminate the power of family to both destroy and empower-and the price and rewards of independence. Part family saga, part coming-of-age story, In the Land of the Living is a kinetic, fresh, bawdy yet earnest shot to the heart of a novel about coping with death, and figuring out how and why to live.

Book Description
The ex-military pilot. The bewitched single mother. The plane crash that saves their lives. Getting pregnant by the wrong man and trying to make it right didn’t serve me well. It’s been years and we’re not any closer to where we should be. Working night and day in an I.C.U. doesn’t bode well for a relationship, either, but I’m doing my best. Tonight, the most beautiful man walks into the hospital. He’s here for his father, who was just rushed in with a massive heart attack. If the man lives through the night, I’ll be surprised. His son, Garrett Ford, is a pilot, and he’s dressed like one. It’s difficult to focus on my job with a man who is larger than life, and dressed to kill, with piercingly blue eyes and full lips. What’s more, he’s very polite and professional, which gets me. When his father wakes up for just a second and thinks I’m his estranged wife, Garrett looks at me in a way that I’ll never forget. *** She’s hands down the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Nora could stop traffic. What’s more, she’s smart, hard working, independent, and she’s the best single parent I’ve ever met. Her kid’s dad is a pill, but I have to turn the other cheek with him around, even though I know he’d rather see me crash and burn than see Nora and I together. I soon learn what lengths he’ll go to to remove me from the picture. We’ll see how far he gets. Trouble is, Nora sees him through a different set of eyes, and there is no convincing her that he is what he is. It’s tough being the outsider in this three person relationship, and sometimes I feel like Nora’s daughter Missy just puts up a front for me. I mean, what kid wouldn’t want her natural father and mother to be together? Soon, it’s clear just how much that is true… HEA (Happily Ever After) Second chance romance Medical romance Military romance Medium heat Course language Mild cliffhanger ending Third book in a complete 5 book standalone series "An emotional story that grabs you from the beginning.

Full of passion, heartbreak, misunderstandings and family togetherness through tough times. It also touches on the effects of mental illness too. I really couldn’t put it down." - 5 Stars from Bella Gwyn, Goodreads reviewer "So many twists and turns, the depth of emotions as the story explores many issues faced by couples and families, especially when adding in mental health issues and estranged parents. The power of family strength shines through all the Ford brothers books and this is another incredible read!!!" - 5 Stars from Mandy Foley, Goodreads reviewer
