Hardback. Etat : Good. From the co-director of the Endangered Language Alliance, a captivating portrait of contemporary New York City through six speakers of little-known and overlooked languages, diving into the incredible history of the most linguistically diverse place ever to have existed on the planet Half of all 7,000-plus human languages may disappear over the next century and--because many have never been recorded--when they're gone, it will be forever. Ross Perlin, a linguist and co-director of the Manhattan-based non-profit Endangered Language Alliance, is racing against time to map little-known languages across the most linguistically diverse city in history: contemporary New York. In Language City, Perlin recounts the unique history of immigration that shaped the city, and follows six remarkable yet ordinary speakers of endangered languages deep into their communities to learn how they are maintaining and reviving their languages against overwhelming odds. Perlin also dives deep into their languages, taking us on a fascinating tour of unusual grammars, rare sounds, and powerful cultural histories from all around the world. Seke is spoken by 700 people from five ancestral villages in Nepal, a hundred of whom have lived in a single Brooklyn apartment building. N'ko is a radical new West African writing system now going global in Harlem and the Bronx. After centuries of colonization and displacement, Lenape, the city's original Indigenous language and the source of the name Manhattan ("the place where we get bows"), has just one fluent native speaker, bolstered by a small band of revivalists. Also profiled in the book are speakers of the Indigenous Mexican language Nahuatl, the Central Asian minority language Wakhi, and the former lingua franca of the Lower East Side, Yiddish. A century after the anti-immigration Johnson-Reed Act closed America's doors for decades and on the 400th anniversary of New York's colonial founding, Perlin raises the alarm about growing political threats and the onslaught of "killer languages" like English and Spanish. Both remarkable social history and testament to the importance of linguistic diversity, Language City is a joyful and illuminating exploration of a city and the world that made it.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. If you're in chronic pain and you're not getting adequate relief from your treatment, this book is for you. You don't have to learn to live with your pain or put up with unpleasant side effects from your medication. There are treatments available that could safely cure your pain. The Truth About Chronic Pain Treatments reviews the evidence for the safety and effectiveness of a wide variety of treatments and reveals how organized medicine is keeping you from getting the care you need and deserve. It's a comprehensive guide to avoiding the treatments that don't work or are likely to cause harm and selecting the therapies that are most likely to promote healing. Here are some things you will learn about in The Truth About Chronic Pain Treatments: Prescription opioids like hydrocodone and oxycodone are highly addictive, even for medical patients taking them as directed. Pain patients who take opioids have more pain, more disability and lower quality of life than similar patients who don't take opioids. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and Celebrex significantly raise your risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney damage. So many people have abnormal findings on MRIs even when they don't have any pain that if you have herniated, bulging or degenerated disks, chances are that it has nothing to do with your pain. Spinal fusion surgery fails about 50% of the time. The more types of childhood trauma you have had, the more likely that back surgery will fail. Psychological factors, including chronic stress, emotional repression and unresolved trauma, are frequent causes of pain and barriers to healing. Mind/body treatments including relaxation training, biofeedback and psychotherapy can in many cases eliminate pain. Chiropractic treatment is considered highly effective for back and neck pain by the World Health Organization and many governments around the world, including the U.S. government. The chance of a serious adverse event from a low back chiropractic adjustment is just 1 in 100 million. Low Level Laser Therapy, a little known treatment, has over 400 randomized controlled studies demonstrating its effectiveness for a wide variety of pain conditions, including back and neck pain, diabetic neuropathy, post herpetic neuralgia (shingles pain), post-surgical pain and wound healing, yet all insurances refuse to cover it because it is experimental. What you eat can have a major impact on your pain levels. Nutritional supplements, including vitamin D, magnesium and omega 3 fatty acids can have very potent pain relieving effects. Marijuana is a powerful pain reliever which is also protective against cancer. No one has ever died from a marijuana overdose. In The Truth About Chronic Pain Treatments you will also learn about the power of the following additional therapies to heal your pain: Physical therapy Exercise Massage Acupuncture Herbs Homeopathy Energy medicine Multidisciplinary pain treatment programs. Unlike most books on chronic pain treatment that advocate one specific treatment, The Truth About Chronic Pain Treatments provides information about a wide variety of treatments so that you can make informed decisions about the best treatments for you. The Truth About Chronic Pain Treatments also explains why you haven't heard more about the many safe, effective pain treatments that are available. It includes a legislative proposal, the Pain Treatment Parity Act, which would eliminate the barriers to pain patients getting safer and more effective care. This is a book that will change your life for the better. If you are one of the 116 million Americans in chronic pain, READ THIS BOOK YOU CAN HEAL YOUR PAIN.…
