When someone is diagnosed with a serious illness, he or she is taking the first step on a challenging and confusing journey. For many, it is as if they are traveling alone to someplace entirely new, with only faded directions back to their old lives. Often, even their loved ones can only guess at what they must be experiencing. Michael Stein, M.D., uses the stories of his own patients to consider the personal narrative of sickness. Beautifully written and keenly insightful, The Lonely Patient is a valuable book for patients and their caregivers as well as a probing inquiry into this universal experience. - E-bokEngelska, 2009

"A gripping, illuminating book . . . Dr. Stein is drawn, in an almost Sherlock Holmesian way, toward trying to fathom and analyze addicts'' behavior. . . . hauntingly and successfully, Stein lets readers make a doctor''s experiences their own." — New York Times"Beautifully told… [with] great insight, empathy and compassion." — Abraham Verghese, author of The Tennis Partner, My Own Country, and Cutting for StoneThe Addict is the powerful and revealing narrative of Dr. Michael Stein''s year-long treatment of a young woman addicted to Vicodin. Dr. Stein has followed up his award winning book The Lonely Patient with "a useful, sensible, and often inspiring guide to how the medical profession does—and should—treat the sick, and the sick at heart."

A POLITICAL PROVOCATION FROM A PAIR OF PHYSICIANS WRITING OUTSIDE THEIR LANEAmericans care about their health. Americans pay lots of money in hopes of maintaining their health. So why are Americans so unhealthy? The reason is simple: as a country, the United States overinvests in medical care at the expense of the social, economic, and cultural forces that produce health. The rise of medicine as a cornerstone of American life and culture has coincided with a social and political devaluation of factors demonstrated to mean more to our vitality than anything else -- influences like where we live, work, and play; livable wages that create opportunity for healthy living; and gender and racial equity. In Pained, physicians Michael Stein and Sandro Galea push the conversation around American health where it belongs: toward matters of class, money, and culture. Across more than 50 essays and data illustrations, Pained casts a light on how the structural components of everyday life -- like school, housing, police, even cell phones -- ultimately determine who gets to be healthy in today's America. In doing so, it makes a case for reframing our political discourse in less myopic, more effectual terms.Accessible and surprising, political but not partisan, Pained is the urgent, uncomfortable conversation that American needs in this challenging moment. It will delight and infuriate readers of all political stripes. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2020

Recent news of a California city to outlaw circumcision, and anti-Semitic and anti-Zionistic activities at many U.S. Universities has already caused many Jews to recoil in horror. Bothered by this, history teacher and author Michael Stein decides to write a compelling fiction, Decision 2030, about the Jews'' decision to fight or leave.This book is a fictional account of a Jewish community, Grayvelt, that is suffering from physical and political attacks on a massive scale in the years prior to 2030. Because of the damage done to the Jewish quality of life, the community responds in two different directions. One choice is to remain in the U.S, and fight with the help of competent civilian soldiers; another choice is to move to the northern part of Israel into a new community.The three major emerging Jewish heroes are Earle Smith, Gloria Resnick, and Rabbi Moshe Weinhauser. The Jews are helped by four non-Jewish couples known as the Fearsome Foursome. The four couples show the Jews how to fight back. The growing admiration between the Jewish community and the fearsome Foursome results in the winning strategy to minimize the terrible effects of the anti-Semitic Edgar Brown Society.Decision 2030 contains the different points of view to remain or leave the U.S. for Israel. It has a great deal of adventure dealing with fire bombings, car and truck chases, midnight attacks, and military attacks. It also has nearly a dozen examples of alliteration which came forth in the natural flow of the author''s pen. The novel also contains an original prayer and an alliterative poem. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2020

In this age of shortened office visits, doctors take care of their patients' immediate needs and often elide their own personal histories. But as reflected in Broke, Michael Stein takes the time to listen to the experiences of his patients whose financial challenges complicate every decision in life they make. Stein asks his patients to tell him about their financial conditions not only to find out how to better treat them but also to bear witness to their very survival and the power of human resilience. Stein's intimate vignettes capture these encounters, allowing his patients to offer profound, moving, and unguarded reflections about their struggles, sometimes in a single sentence. Broke is a quietly passionate critique of a country that has grown callous to the plight of the poor, the tens of millions of people in the United States who live below the poverty line and who have no obvious path to security. Full of heartbreaking and surprising details and framed by a wry, knowing, and empathic humor, there is no other book that illuminates the experience of people facing economic hardship in this way. - Häftad, Engelska, 2020

We will all be patients sooner or later. And when we go to the doctor, when we're hurting, we tend to think in terms of cause and condemnation. We often look for relief not only from physical symptoms but also from our self-blame. We want from our doctors kindness under any of its many names: empathy, caring, compassion, humanity. We look for safety and forgiveness. But we forget that doctors, too, are often in need of forgivenes—from their patients and from themselves. No doctor enters the medical profession expecting to be unkind or to make mistakes, but because of the complexity of our current medical system and because doctors are human, they often find themselves acting much less kindly than they would like to. Drawing on his work as a primary care physician and a behavioral scientist, Michael Stein artfully examines the often conflicting goals of patients and their doctors. In those differences, Stein recognizes that kindness should not be a patient's forbidden or unrealistic expectation. This book leaves us with new knowledge of and insights into what we might hope for, and what might go wrong, or right, in the most intimate clinical moments. - Häftad, Engelska, 2022

A white man has been lynched two months before 23-year-old Donald Gambell returns to his New Jersey hometown. As the first black member of the police force, Gambell learns the routines of his new work—the traffic stops and domestic quarrels, the bullying and bragging—from his partner Frank Butras, who refuses to discuss the murder that has left the town shaken. For Gambell, life near his father and sister is familiar in both its comforts and confusions, but his home has changed in ways he finds difficult to understand. - Häftad, Tyska, 2022

The variety and increasing availability of hypermedia information systems, which are used in stationary applications like operators’ consoles as well as mobile systems, e.g. driver information and navigation systems in automobiles form a foundation for the mediatization of the society. From the human engineering point of view this development and the ensuing increased importance of information systems for economic and private needs require careful deliberation of the derivation and application of ergonomics methods particularly in the field of information systems.This book consists of two closely intertwined parts. The first, theoretical part defines the concept of an information system, followed by an explanation of action regulation as well as cognitive theories to describe man information system interaction. A comprehensive description of information ergonomics concludes the theoretical approach.In the second, practically oriented part of this book authors from industry as well as from academic institutes illustrate the variety of current information systems taken from different fields of transportation, i.e. aviation, automotive, and railroad. The reader thus gains an overview of various applications and their context of use as well as similarities and differences in design. This does not only include a description of the different information systems but also places them in the context of the theories and models, which were presented in the first part of this book. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2012

Du bist nicht faul. Du weichst aus und das ist etwas vollig anderes.Kennst du den Moment am Abend, wenn der Tag geschafft ist und dir einfallt, dass die eine Sache immer noch daliegt? Die Steuererklarung. Der Anruf. Die Bewerbung. Du nimmst dir vor, es morgen wirklich zu tun, und weit dabei schon, dass morgen genauso laufen wird wie heute.Wenn du das kennst, dann liegt das nicht an fehlender Disziplin. Aufschieben ist kein Zeitproblem und kein Charakterfehler, sondern eine Flucht vor einem unangenehmen Gefuhl. Dein Gehirn schutzt dich kurzfristig und schadet dir langfristig. Genau deshalb hat mehr Druck bisher nicht funktioniert: Du hast gegen den falschen Gegner gekampft.Dieses Buch fuhrt dich in zehn Wochen heraus. Nicht mit Motivationsspruchen, sondern mit Schritten, die auch an schlechten Tagen funktionieren: Zuerst verstehst du, was in dir passiert und wie dein ganz personliches Aufschiebe-Muster aussieht. Dann bekommst du die Werkzeuge: die Regel, mit der du anfangst, bevor dein Kopf Nein sagen kann. Die Art, groe Aufgaben so zu zerlegen, dass die nachste Stufe machbar ist. Den Platz, an dem du arbeitest, und die Zeiten, zu denen du es tust. Und zum Schluss geht es um das, woran die meisten Versuche scheitern: den Perfektionismus, die Ablenkungen und den Ruckfall, der garantiert kommt.Jedes Kapitel endet mit einer Ubung fur genau eine Woche. Kein System, keine App, kein Kalender mit Farbcodes ein Heft und ein Stift reichen.Warm geschrieben, ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger und ohne Versprechen, die niemand halten kann.Der innere Aufstieg Band 1. Jede Woche eine Stufe.- Häftad, Tyska, 2017
