Lactoferrin and its Role in Wound Healing

’An important and timely volume that brings together different perspectives on the surprisingly little explored topic of the imagination. In its ambitious scope and rich ethnographic detail, it promises to become essential reading for anthropologists and those working in related fields of enquiry.’ Anna Grimshaw, Emory University, USA  ’Arguably the single faculty that sets humanity most decisively apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, the imagination enters into our lives at every stage, enabling humans to create invisible connections, conjure up possible and impossible worlds, expand their horizons and produce metaphors and theories. This strikingly original volume convincingly demonstrates the importance of the imagination in ethnographic observation, anthropological analysis and the local lives under scrutiny. It showcases anthropology as a fundamental humanistic discipline.’ Thomas Hylland Eriksen, University of Oslo, Norway  ’The contributors to this intriguing collection of essays criss-cross the terrain designated by the English terms imagination, the imagined, and the imaginary, and their (approximate) equivalents in other languages. The reader is guided helpfully through a variety of learned genealogies of the imagination and treated to much evocative ethnography. Classic views, going back to Kant and beyond, are brought into conversation with the most contemporary anthropological theory, and anyone who aspires to practise ethnography will be challenged to rethink the role of the imagination in that rather peculiar enterprise. Highly recommended.’  David N. Gellner, University of Oxford, UK

&ldquo;One of the most important things adults can teach children is the skill of communication and self-advocacy. What Can I Say? can not only teach children to be more confident, eloquent, and clear, it can save them from harm and give them the tools and courage they need to ask for help. I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone engaged in raising competent, proactive kids with a strong sense of self-efficacy.&rdquo; &shy; &mdash;&#160;Jessica Lahey, author of The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Inoculation "Newman is out with another totally gorgeous guide for kids about how to succeed in the world. This time, it&rsquo;s real-talk on the awkward and hard task of behaving appropriately around other humans, told with the humor and nuance of a hip babysitter. This book is to GenZ what&#160;Free To Be You And Me&#160;was to GenX. You&rsquo;ll find yourself wishing you&rsquo;d had it years ago!" &mdash;&#160;Julie&#160;Lythcott-Haims,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;How to Raise an Adult&#160;and&#160;Your Turn"What&#160;a glorious book.&#160;What&#160;Can&#160;I&#160;Say?&#160;is much-needed&#160;in this era of&#160;increased social awkwardness and conflict. Catherine Newman and&#160;illustrator Debbie Fong have created a delightfully&#160;illustrated,&#160;inclusive guide to help kids evaluate their behavior, tune&#160;into their feelings, and figure out how to start a conversation, be a good listener, and&#160;interact&#160;in simple and emotionally charged situations, with kids and adults, and&#160;in person or digitally.&#160;If&#160;I&#160;had this book as a young person,&#160;I&#160;no doubt would have handled countless relationships&#160;in a more loving and compassionate manner." &mdash;&#160;Christine&#160;Koh, co-author of&#160;Minimalist Parenting&#160;and&#160;co-host of the EditYour Life podcast "Catherine Newman&#160;is my go-to for etiquette advice, both for me and my kids, who are 4 and 11. She has the touch: compassion for awkward and uncomfortable situations, like stepping away from a friendship or comforting someone, and our complicated feelings about them. Plus, she gets how much harder these are for young people. This book, full of fabulous&#160;illustrations, "Nerd Facts," pop quizzes, and examples of how to do things the right way ("Nailing&#160;It") and the&#160;wrong way ("Not Nailing&#160;It," "Also Not Nailing&#160;It") will make kids laugh, which&#160;is the best way to make them pay attention.&#160;It&#39;s an accessible primer on how to be more loving,&#160;inclusive, self-confident, and,&#160;indeed, a better human." &mdash; Jenny&#160;Pritchett, better known as&#160;Jenny&#160;True, "Dear&#160;Jenny" columnist on&#160;Romper&#160;and author of&#160;You Look Tired: An Excruciatingly Honest Guide to New Parenthood &ldquo;A book that&rsquo;s not just for kids!&#160;What Can I Say?&#160;offers clear, practical, and reassuring guidance to children and adolescents about communicating with others in all kinds of situations. From texting and emailing to conversations with an older adult or an intimate partner, the tips in this book are thoughtful, straightforward, and inclusive to young people and their families, broadly defined. As a mother, psychologist, and professor, I&rsquo;d like to see this as required reading for all young people and those who love them. In a world where the art of communication is far too often neglected,&#160;What can I say&#160;reminds us how much interacting in a healthy way with those around us enriches our lives. From compromise to gratitude to forgiveness to compassion, Catherine Newman reminds youth and the adults who care about them the importance of humanity in communication.&rdquo; &mdash; Abigail Gewirtz, Ph.D., L.P, author of&#160;When the World Feels Like a Scary Place, and&#160;Editor-in-Chief,&#160;International Journal of Psychology

A Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year&ldquo;The spectral map Dickey creates is as broad and packed as his book&rsquo;s title implies . . . Ghostland&#160;amounts to a lively assemblage and smart analysis of dozens of haunting stories, some better known than others. In each chapter, Dickey spins riveting tales and then carefully unwinds these narratives, exposing the materials and motivations of their construction . . . The most fascinating moments in Ghostland&#160;are Dickey&rsquo;s etymological musings and his many turns down unusual paths of American history . . . All of these are absorbing . . . With Ghostland, Dickey achieves a capacious geographical synthesis that is both intellectually intriguing and politically instructive.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;For a relatively young nation, America is overrun with spirits. Mr. Dickey visits with Salem&rsquo;s witches, spectral lights at a Nevada brothel and the eccentric widow who designed the sprawling, never-finished Winchester Mystery House&hellip;[to] suggest that by analyzing them we can learn a great deal about ourselves."&mdash;The Wall Street Journal"The good news: Nothing's really haunted except by the spirits we imagine for ourselves. The bad news: We'll make anything haunted. The great news: There's&#160;Ghostland. Colin Dickey gets to the heart of the matter over and over, skirting any tourist-trap sensationalism in favor of historical context that touches on the longing and tragedy underneath ghost stories. It's a tour of America's haunted places that takes an insightful look at how ghost stories are made, how ghosts and historical visibility are so tightly intertwined, and why we keep looking for the dead."&mdash;NPR, a best book of the year pick&ldquo;Dickey neatly dissects not just the historical, but the visual and atmospheric elements that evoke a haunting . . . As he wends his way through the landmarks and their histories, Dickey thoroughly and convincingly explores the many underpinnings of ghost stories and hauntings &#8213; as manifestations of our collective guilt, anxieties, obsessions and historical losses; and as practical schemes for money-making, land acquisition, or controlling groups of people.&rdquo;&mdash;Huffington Post &#160;&ldquo;Engrossing . . . Dickey&rsquo;s book is not so much about spooks and goblins, but about tales of them that we tell, and why. Its purpose isn&rsquo;t to scare, but to intrigue &mdash; and on that level, it may well keep you up late.&rdquo; &mdash;Seattle Times&ldquo;Capacious . . .&#160; Dickey&rsquo;s omnivorous curiosity lands on everything from the fraught legacy of slavery to the role of Spiritualism in women&rsquo;s suffrage to 19th-century innovations in efficient horse stable design to the origins of the Ku Klux Klan to critiques of ruin porn in modern-day Detroit . . .&#160; Dickey is always good company, an ideal companion to take along on a ghost tour: skeptical but prone to goosebumps, with an affinity for odd, morbid historical details.&rdquo; &mdash;The Los Angeles Review of Books&#160;"A stunning work of architectural theory and a spell-binding collection of true-crime tales and historical drama."&mdash;The Atlantic's CityLab"Dickey is one of the sharpest and most erudite writers around, and his new book makes for a perfect Halloween read."&mdash;Men's Journal &ldquo;Colin Dickey&rsquo;s essays explore facets of the world that we might overlook, take readers to uncharted spaces, and delve into bizarre corners of history.&rdquo;&mdash;Vol 1. Brooklyn &ldquo;Dickey takes an erudite tour of haunted America and tells us repeatedly that the meaning of ghost stories lies not in what they claim about the occult but in what they inadvertently say about the anxieties and prejudices of the teller and the larger society . . . His analytical and reportorial talents are evident . . . Part of the special delight of GHOSTLAND is its many informed asides, revealing Dickey&rsquo;s long hours of spading up obscure facts and quotes . . . a bravura performance of storytelling, in an elegant prose style throughout that does not sacrifice intelligence for readability.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times&#160; &ldquo;Colin Dickey is a mad genius, and reading one of his books is as close to a look at his brilliant brain as we will get without use of a bone saw.&rdquo;&mdash;BookRiot&ldquo;You wouldn&rsquo;t expect to read about brothels, human psychology, Victorian architecture, even a suburban Toys R&rsquo; Us, and come out the other side with an entirely different understanding and appreciation for ghosts. But&#160;Colin Dickey&rsquo;s&#160;writing is just that good.&#160;Ghostland&#160;is strange and un-settling in the best possible way.&rdquo;&mdash;Caitlin Doughty, New York Times bestselling author of&#160;Smoke Gets in Your Eyes &#160;&ldquo;Always fascinating, sometimes horrifying. GHOSTLAND is a remarkable portrait of the ways that the walking dead&mdash;or our beliefs in them&mdash;wander through,&#160;and shape, American history.&rdquo;&mdash;Deborah Blum, author of&#160;The Poisoner&rsquo;s Handbook&#160; &ldquo;Spine-tingling...&#160;A truly creepy travelogue that&rsquo;s a must-have for Halloweeen.&rdquo;&mdash;BookPage  &#160;&ldquo;Come for the ghosts, stay for the history.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&#160; &ldquo;Dickey pops sensationalist bubbles by observing the underlying racism, sexism, and classism associated with many hauntings&rsquo; long-told tales. By exposing historical inaccuracies and sociological calumny, the work treats readers to a better understanding of the socioeconomic and political milieu in which these myths gained acceptance, ultimately providing a richer, more nuanced narrative. Sophisticated readers with gothic sensibilities who enjoy literary histories, social commentary, and authoritative travelogs will find this a worthy title.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal
