Summary
"This book gathers together the knowledge gained in a lifelong study of the causes of goodness and evil. Since the 1960s Ervin Staub has studied the roots of helpful, caring, generous, and altruistic behavior in adults and their development in children, as well as passivity in response to others' need. He has also studied bullying and victimization in schools, as well as youth violence and its prevention. He spent many years studying the origins (and prevention) of human destructiveness, genocide, and mass killing, and he has examined the Holocaust, the genocide of the Armenians, the disappearances in Argentina, the genocide in Rwanda, and other instances. He has applied his work in many real-world settings, in seminars, workshops, lectures, and in consultations with parents and teachers, police officers, and political leaders. He has appeared frequently in the media, since September 11 especially, to explain the causes and prevention of terrorism. Professor Staub has published, in addition to books, many articles and book chapters on these topics. A selection from these is gathered, with new writings added, in The Psychology of Good and Evil. The book presents a broad panorama of the roots of violence and caring and suggests how we can create societies and a world that are caring, peaceful, and harmonious. Two of the important themes of the book are how both evil and goodness evolve, step by step, and the great power of bystanders."--Jacket.

Summary
With recent clinical advances, millions of people survive many years after a cancer diagnosis. And while their physicians deliver conventional, evidence-based therapies to treat the cancer, sometimes the cancer patient and his or her symptoms are not treated with equal skill. To manage their physical and emotional symptoms and promote health and well-being, most cancer patients and survivors use complementary therapies: Naturopathy, Ayurveda, herbalism, homeopathy, hypnosis, yoga, acupuncture, music therapy, macrobiotics, chelation therapy, colonics, hydrotherapy and many, many more. But ... are they safe? Are they effective? What problems do they address? What are the risks? When can they help? This unique and comprehensive book guides the way through the often confusing maze of complementary and alternative therapies promoted to cancer patients and survivors. The functions, benefits, backgrounds and risks are clearly presented. Learning when, if and how to use them provides medical professionals, cancer patients and survivors with the information they need to better control the symptoms and side effects of cancer and its treatment. Unfortunately, using some of these therapies without this expert guidance can lead to medical complications, or worse. The Complete Guide to Complementary Therapies in Cancer Care is an invaluable resource in making educated health care decisions for managing life during and after cancer. Through the wise and informed use of these approaches, cancer patients - whether just-diagnosed, during treatment or throughout Survivership are better able to manage the physical and emotional stresses that accompany cancer, leading to symptom control and improved quality of life.

Summary
"In June 2015, Pope Francis published Laudato si', a magisterial vision of ecological flourishing and integral human development. At a meeting opened by Pope Francis in September 2015, world leaders came together at the United Nations to adopt Agenda 2030 and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In December of that same year, the same 193 member states of the UN met in Paris to adopt the Paris Climate Agreement. Between October 2016 and December 2018, Monsignor Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo (Chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences) and Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs (University Professor, Columbia University) led a project titled Ethics in Action. Inspired by the leadership and vision of Pope Francis and guided by the framework of the SDGs, this initiative convened a core group of about 40 religious leaders, philosophers, practitioners, and scientists to explore the possibility of a shared moral vision of human flourishing that could ground sustainable development principles, practices, and actions. At 11 meetings this core group engaged in dialogue on the values and ethics (religious and secular) needed for addressing various challenges of sustainabl e development (poverty, peace and conflict, the refugee crisis, environmental justice, and the future of work). Enlisting the participation of international religious leaders has become increasingly important in framing efforts to obtain global consensus on environmental and many other issues. Ethics in Action for Sustainable Development reflects the thoughtful planning behind this initiative to ensure diversity and intellectual depth by capturing the religious and ethical thought of over 30 of its leaders and core members based on two years' worth of discussion and reflection on the ethical consensus needed to advance the SDGs. No other volume on sustainability and ethics or religion and ecology reflects such a sustained deliberative effort, with institutional support from groups like the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, the University of Notre Dame, Religions for Peace, Columbia University, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)"--
