Devra Davis presents a range of recent and long-suppressed research in this timely bombshell. Stunningly, the most popular gadget of our age has now been shown to damage DNA, break down the brain''s defences and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss, the risk of Alzheimer''s disease and even cancer. The growing brains of children make them especially vulnerable and half of the world''s four billion mobile phone users are under 20. As this eye-opening call to action shows, safer mobile phones can be made now, so why are they not available?

I have been on many mission trips, but during the last couple of years, several people who have served with me overseas shared with me their difficulties of preparing for their trips, as well as coming home from the mission field. I searched for devotionals and resources that I could use to help them and future team members, and I realized that there were very few resources intended to help people prepare before their trip, and none that dealt with the challenges of returning home. God laid a burden on my heart to develop a tool that could be used to encourage and prepare short-term missionaries as they follow God’s call on their lives to go and make disciples. This book contains three parts: Part One consists of stories and lessons I have learned during the past twenty years of short-term mission work. It deals with the importance of team dynamics, spiritual warfare, physical and emotional challenges, kingdom purpose, and more. Part Two is a thirty-day devotional that will guide you through the Bible prior to your mission trip. It will help prepare you spiritually for any obstacles you may encounter and will encourage you to rely on the leading of the Holy Spirit. Part Three is a thirty-day devotional that you will begin when you return home. It is designed to help you recognize and manage the many emotions you will experience as you strive to reacclimate to life at home. There will be pressure to conform, as well as discouragement from an apathetic culture that many of you will not expect. These devotionals will remind you that you are not alone and that God is more concerned with your obedience than with the reactions of others.

Why has the "War on Cancer" languished, focusing mainly on finding and treating the disease and downplaying the need to control and combat cancer''s basic causes -- tobacco, the workplace, radiation, and the general environment? This war has targeted the wrong enemies with the wrong weapons, failing to address well-known cancer causes. As epidemiologist Devra Davis shows in this superbly researched expose, this is no accident. The War on Cancer has followed the commercial interests of industries that generated a host of cancer-causing materials and products. This is the gripping story of a major public health effort diverted and distorted for private gain that is being reclaimed through efforts to green health care and the environment.

How One Courageous Woman Wasn''t Going To Let Bipolar Disorder Stand In Her Way For decades, Wonda Lee Davis suffered from an illness nobody could figure out-leaving her feeling bereft, isolated, and hopeless. Then in 2009, doctors diagnosed her with bipolar disorder. What followed is the story of a woman who refused to hide in the shadows. Real Time With Miss Bipolar Bitch is her frank and moving account of reckoning with her disorder and resolving to help others suffering from the same symptoms. In a unique, confiding prose style, Davis uses the diagnosis to examine her troubled upbringing and youth, only to discover that many of her issues-a once promiscuous lifestyle, inability to work consistently, and social problems-fit the classic definition of bipolar. In the process, Davis must come to terms with her personal failings-stubborn self-hatred, hypocrisy, and violent thoughts-to make peace with herself and the world around her. Through it all, Davis details her inspiring efforts to reach out and let others-especially kindred African-American women-know they are not alone in suffering from this poorly understood mental illness. This no-holds-barred memoir also includes the latest medical information on bipolar disorder, an introduction to terms and treatment, and references to important resources. It''s a must read for anyone suffering with bipolar and other mood disorders

The illustrated novel God''s Furry Angels bridges many genres: fantasy, contemporary, humor, action/adventure, supernatural, spiritual, allegory. It opens with the death of Sebastian, an alpha male known for playful, protective antics toward his lifetime owner, Jessica Ferguson. Her husband John didn''t mind Sebastian''s passing so much, for that feline loved to tease him and other newcomers in Jessica''s life, and the old cat''s death eased a budget strained by his wife''s pre-med school bills. But he shares Jessica''s pain, and so to soothe her broken heart, John gives her a shiny porcelain figurine resembling her lost friend, with the promise of a real cat as soon as they can afford one. That''s when strange occurrences start shaking the Ferguson household, mimicking the nuisances Sebastian was known for. These renew the anguish of his passing, until John finds a solution he didn''t expect and cannot refuse: the chance to bring home a real kitten at a very, very reasonable price. Just how Bridget entered that picture, and why she was so readily available, ties many other characters into this engaging coming-of-age saga. God''s Furry Angels tells its tale not just with words, but photographs, all by author/photographer Kirby Lee Davis. The ebook features 28 images, the paperback 61. They help make God''s Furry Angels a satisfying novel for all ages. Its companion book, A Year in the Lives of God''s Furry Angels, adds to the fun by sharing daily highlights, mishaps, and other events impacting these characters before, during, and after those in God''s Furry Angels. This narrative also weaves its magic with pictures.

The goal of this dissertation was to better understand how working on projects in makerspaces might affect the development of students'' skills and knowledge. However, because makerspaces support an enormous variety of activities, it was necessary to restrict the focus to a specific type of activity and a specific set of outcomes. The activity was building mechanistic systems through the engineering design process, and the outcomes of interest were the development of mechanistic problem-solving skills and the construction of mechanistic understanding. In the first study, high-school students took part in a year-long digital fabrication course in a makerspace. Over the course of the study, they worked on two long-term projects using the engineering design process. Both of the projects involved designing a single object that consisted of many interacting parts, and completing the projects required progressive refinement over the course of multiple iterations of the engineering design cycle. In the second project in the course, the students worked together to design and build a mechanistic system, the Rube Goldberg machine. After taking part in the course, the students received significantly higher scores on a set a hands-on problems involving mechanisms, and a fine-grained analysis of their problem-solving approaches indicated that they had become significantly more like expert mechanical engineers. This study suggested that designing and developing complex systems over multiple iterations of the engineering design process supported the development of mechanistic problem-solving skills in the high-school students. The second study was designed to learn more about how building a mechanistic system through the engineering design process might support the construction of mechanistic knowledge. This study used a 2x2 factorial design to understand the impact of different aspects of the engineering design process--problem-centered making and reflection--on specific dimensions of mechanistic understanding. Students in this study were tasked with building a LEGO pendulum clock, and they all had access to a webpage containing text, diagrams, and videos about how pendulum clocks worked. The two factors in this study were problem-centered making [building the clock with step-by-step instructions vs. having to figure out how to build the clock using information on the webpage] and reflection [self-explaining the text on the webpage vs. not self-explaining]. Crossing these factors resulted in four groups: Read, Build, Explain, and Build+Explain. By comparing these groups on a set of posttest questions designed to measure different dimensions of mechanistic understanding, it was possible to learn more about how each of these activities supported learning about the pendulum-clock mechanism. The first finding was that problem-centered making and self-explaining each supported learning about distinct dimensions of mechanistic knowledge. The students who self-explained learned more about what the purposes of the parts in the clock, and scored higher on a set of questions designed to assess declarative knowledge about the clock. The students who worked on the building problem (as opposed to the students who simply rebuilt the clock using instructions) learned more about the structural organization of the parts in the clock. However, neither of these activities was superior at supporting the construction of causal knowledge about the parts in the clock. The second finding was that the students in the Build+Explain group who engaged in both activities learned significantly more about the causal relations between components in the clock than any of the other groups. Additionally, this group of students were significantly more likely to transfer their knowledge to infer how an analogous, novel mechanism worked. These findings suggested that the combination of problem-centered making and reflection was most effective at supporting the construction of complete, transferable knowledge about a mechanism. Together, the studies in this dissertation suggest that building mechanisms through a problem-centered, reflective process may support the development of mechanistic problem-solving skills as well as the construction of mechanistic understanding. This work has implications for researchers who are interested in how people learn about mechanisms, and for practitioners who are interested in supporting students in learning about how things work. Future work is needed to better understand the mechanisms through which skill and knowledge develop during the process of problem-centered, reflective making. These findings point to future directions for research, including the investigation of educational engineering design processes and the use of virtual, problem-centered, reflective making activities to support learning about a larger number of mechanistic systems.
