Book Description
In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Book Description
A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. A MURDER. A CHILD. RAD. A GHOSTING. A psychopath murdered his young wife to avoid the mess of a divorce. To make a clean break. He left a child in the wake, broken, and in danger of violence at the hands of those who believed the lies of the boy's narcissistic father. Miles away in Alaska, a young lawyer adopted her second child with her new husband. Their son Sam was the three-year-old child of that murderer of Mexican-American descent, and an unsuspecting Japanese mistress. He desperately needed a new family far away from the lurid scandal that was rocking the State of New Mexico. Over the next fifteen years, Sam's thirteenth mother slowly, frighteningly, came to realize the damage Sam's first three years caused him. At eighteen years of age, he walked out. He walked away from his younger brother who adored him, from his sister who antagonized him, from his mother who desperately loved him. Mommy No. 13 explores the development of Sam's childhood in the Last Frontier, and of his decision to leave it all behind.
