The Ebola virus causes a disease, often fatal to humans. This disease spreads through when people touch infected bodily fluids. The Ebola epidemic stands as a health issue of global importance. Researchers are not entirely sure on what its cause is. Also, it may pose a serious threat to healthcare systems, and, subsequently, to economies on a global scale. The most recent Ebola outbreak has attracted worldwide attention with its often deadly outcome for humans and animals. It has claimed thousands of lives and continues to spread quickly. At this rate, Ebola might quickly become a global pandemic. What are the reasons for the massive scale of the outbreak? Up to now, the Ebola epidemic has taken such a death toll mostly due to the lack of proper healthcare infrastructure in affected countries. A huge part of the problem is that the general public is completely uninformed about the manner in which the disease spreads or what the symptoms are. What can we do to prevent Ebola from spreading? While researchers worldwide are working on creating effective vaccines for human use, all that we can do is to inform ourselves about the signs of the disease and precautions that we can take. All in all, how will this particular book help you? Since a proven, effective vaccine for human use has not been developed to date, you can protect yourself and those around you from the disease by following guidelines in this book. Each chapter provides an answer to any practical question about Ebola you might have. Informing yourself is key to preventing the disease from spreading further, and this book can give you all the basic facts concerning Ebola. Ebola has raised an alarm, and this book is meant to enlighten you about the symptoms of Ebola and to provide you with the required methods and ways of dealing with a deadly virus.

When you want to change your lifestyle entirely, you need to have enough motivation but you also need to have knowledge about the lifestyle that you are adopting. Many people who want to live in an RV full-time fail to find a balance in their lives which make that living pleasurable, while others can live the dream and learn to compromise on comforts for the sake of freedom. They wake up in the mornings to feel that they have breathed fresh air. They see different scenery every morning if they so wish. What you need to know before joining them is whether you're cut out for the lifestyle and what differences there are between living in a conventional home and living in an RV. This book bridges that gap in your knowledge, and although you may choose to save a fortune by staying at home, you may also choose the lesser travelled road and discover the benefits of living in an RV. Both lifestyles, either in an RV or a home, have their pros and cons. Many who choose the RV lifestyle find that adapting their lives comes naturally. It takes a unique and free spirited person to compromise on the luxuries of home living in favor of the adventurous lifestyle offered by RV living, though many do. Once you weigh the pros and cons, you can make the choice wisely, and that's what this book is all about. The book will appeal to the free spirited who seek something more than merely surviving month to month oppressed by mortgage payments and housing taxes. Both have benefits, though those who live the life they choose, rather than the life chosen for them by responsibility, find that RV life tests their personal boundaries and skills freeing up their lives to live beyond the grid. Journey with us and learn if living in an RV will suit you, and be prepared for the journey of your life.

Psychologists and spouses, Dr. Deb Brock and Dr. Ron Johnson have published What's Your Temperament? to instruct, inspire, and encourage people to have a special understanding of themselves and other people. They describe four different temperaments that exist in people identified as "lovers" who love the world, "analysts" who understand the world, "caretakers" who protect the world, and "players" who experience the world. People with these four temperaments also approach family, friends, work and relationships all quite differently. This work focuses on the strengths and challenges of each temperament together with practical suggestions for conversation and engagement based on how differently they experience, feel, think, and do things. There is also a call for maturity within and beyond one's basic temperament.
