As someone whose life was touched briefly by ringing in the ears, I could recognise the feelings she exposed: the despair, the guilt, the hopelessness. But this book goes even further. Lisa has taken her personal experience of walking through tinnitus, and shares the secrets Jesus taught her on the way. Written in the form of letters, titled for easy reference, she speaks God's infinite wisdom and love. If you have a friend who suffers with tinnitus, this book is a gift which will give them hope and one that they will return to many times. Lisa has given the church a tool which will touch many hearts!" Joy Vee, Author of Benaiah and the Kindness Tree"As a Tinnitus Management Audiologist, I find some tinnitus materials are a bit too doom and gloom for many of my patients. Now having a resource for those who find comfort in scripture and prayer is another tool to recommend for a segment of my patients. Lisa has created a beautiful resource of reflection with Jesus who is compassionate along the tinnitus sufferer's journey. The imagery, the chosen passages and the reflection in each section help match the need and mood of the reader. I now have another extraordinary tool in helping Christian patients with managing their tinnitus." Judy Huch, AuD. Oro Valley Audiology, Holistic Audiology.

David Potter, writing on the subject of narrative validity and historiography in the Classics, cites Pliny the Younger recounting a story heard at a dinner party, I trust the person who told it, although what is truth to poets? Still, the person who told the story is one of whom you might think well if you were to write history. (9.33.1, qtd. in Potter 5) Pliny's good-natured remark seems to question the truthfulness of poets while at the same time crediting this particular poet with a kind of cultural reliability. What is poetic truth, anyway? In "Ode on a Grecian Urn" John Keats equates truth with beauty (Ferguson et al. 939). Shelley, of course, famously claims in the last line of A Defence of Poetry that "Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world" (568). In "Asphodel, That Greeny Flower," William Carlos Williams claims that poetry contains truth essential to our survival: "It is difficult/to get the news from poems/yet men die miserably every day/for lack of what is found there" (Ferguson et al. 1283). Taoists say that "knowledge of Tao lodges in the same part of the mind as poetry," which is why ancient Taoist texts like the Tao te Ching are often written in verse: "There is the same quick perception" (Deng, 365 Tao 63).

Introducing "The Balance Factor: Exploring the Effects of Balance Training in COPD Rehabilitation"In the realm of books, where knowledge intertwines with purpose, there are certain journeys that hold immeasurable worth. As a book distributor, it is my pleasure to assure you, without further ado, that this is one such journey-a voyage worth embarking upon. "The Balance Factor" ventures into uncharted territories, illuminating the effects of balance training in the rehabilitation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).In the words of Ernest Hemingway, "Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another." These words echo through the pages, revealing the profound impact of COPD on the global population. Affecting millions, this disease emerges as the fifth leading cause of mortality, claiming 5% of all lives. Its reach spans continents, engulfing 65 million individuals worldwide-a staggering number that projects it to become the third most common cause of death by 2030.Within the grasp of these pages, we delve into the multifaceted challenges faced by COPD patients-challenges that strip away their functionality, their mobility, their very essence of life. The pathophysiological intricacies are further complicated by the passage of time, as aging intertwines with the already burdensome journey. It is here, amidst these trials, that an often overlooked threat emerges-the risk of falling. With a prevalence of 40% and an incidence of 1.17 per person per year, the specter of falls casts a shadow over those living with COPD.Factors converge, contributing to this perilous dance-decreased lower limb muscular strength, gait and balance deficits, depression, cognitive impairments, nutritional depletion, malnutrition, and even reliance on a wheelchair. Yet, within this vast landscape of challenges, a glimmer of hope arises-the power of balance training. Like a steady hand guiding a wavering compass, this training offers potential for rehabilitation, enhancing stability, and ultimately improving the lives of those battling COPD.In the Ernest Hemingway style, each word carries weight, each sentence pulses with resilience. The author's narrative weaves through the intricate web of scientific knowledge, presenting it in a manner that captivates and inspires. With each turn of the page, "The Balance Factor" invites readers to witness the fusion of science and compassion, where balance becomes a gateway to reclaiming independence and embracing life to the fullest.Join us on this transformative expedition, where the pursuit of balance illuminates a path of empowerment and resilience. "The Balance Factor" serves as a beacon of hope, guiding the way toward rehabilitation and improved quality of life for those living with COPD. Let these pages be a testament to the power of perseverance and the immeasurable impact that lies within the realm of balance training.

Sometimes your own family isn't enough. Growing up different is never easy, but Michael, a deaf young man from a small town, knows that he must find his true family beyond his biological one. He struggles and fails to find others of his kind until he attends college in New York City.There, we meet a variety of people from a deaf gay family of sorts: Eddie, an older accountant aching for love; Lee, an effeminate dishwasher with a pronounced weakness for red-haired men; Vince, a charismatic dancer who lives intensely no matter the state of his health; Neil, a brooding woodcarver who becomes a deaf woman's obsession; Stan, a lanky stock boy at the A&P on Christopher Street; Ted, a hard-of-hearing college student with ambivalent feelings about the deaf community; and Rex, an ASL interpreter who avoids his own emotions during the early days of the AIDS epidemic.
