Breathing is a continuous battle between our need for oxygen and forces in nature that attack our lungs. Three hundred thousand Americans will die of respiratory diseases this year. Gasping for Air is the dramatic story of how infections, toxins, carcinogens, and air pollution strike against one of our basic body functions. The book also describes how we come into the struggle with diseases like asthma, cystic fibrosis, and sleep apnea, which make us vulnerable to assaults on breathing from without and within. We have powerful weapons to defend breathing. Medical science, public health, engineering, and business, all play important roles in the effort to support breathing. Yet, Gasping for Air also reminds readers how breathing support has been at the eye of the storm in many ethical dilemmas of modern healthcare. Here, Kevin Glynn, an experienced pulmonologist and lifelong asthma sufferer tells stories about the third most common cause of premature deaths in the developed world, describes lethal forces in Nature (infections, genetic predispositions) and from human activities (dusty occupations, tobacco smoking, chemical toxins, drug overdoses) that threaten to suffocate us, and offers sage advice for how to prevent and address those threats and the damage they cause.

What would you do if the government and its elected officials you had swore to defend had become corrupted enough to where you decided they were not fit to remain in power? What if the policies and laws they have created no longer serves the best interests of its citizens? What would you think of a government that leaves its citizens in peril while it gives hundreds of billions of dollars to other people in other countries? What if you realized it secretly breaks its own laws to serve its own end so those who are in power can remain and dictate to the average person how they live? What if they tell you what you can and cannot do, while they drain you of your finances? And then try to convince you that you do not know what is best for you and your loved ones? Then they meet in secret and slowly take away your freedoms one by one so when you wake up one morning, you realize that this government, of the people and by the people, no longer cares about those they serve in Washington D.C. How much will you tolerate? How many freedoms will you lose? How much money will they drain from you before you decide they should no longer govern your country? When will you say 'Enough is enough'? Where is your breaking point? This is their story.

Gasping for Air is the story of Cami Bonner, a middle-aged housewife who is desperately looking for purpose in her life. Becoming cemented in her daily rut, which she finds suffocating, Cami sets out to alter her behavior in ways that are totally unbefitting of her personality. The irony of Cami's life is that she loves being a wife to her husband, Jacob, and mother to their three daughters and seems to be truly living the dream life. That is until she becomes entangled with a married couple who forever change her life. Ben and Hilary Daniels are a married couple with problems just like everyone else. As fate would have it, Cami Bonner becomes involved with Ben as his lover and Hilary as her confidant. The relationship among the three of them becomes an impossible dynamic that doesn't survive the consequences. It's Cami Bonner's sense of stagnancy and craving for change that women everywhere can relate to. The grass is not always greener on the other side as she learns firsthand. Feeling remorseful for her mistakes, Cami tries to atone for her sins. Regrettably, it may be too late. Gasping for Air is an interesting read with a twist at the end.

The word reality holds much different definitions for one individual as it does for another. What one considers real is based on ones point of view and their correlation to the world around them based in all of the five senses. But, what if your perception of the world around you was distorted? What would happen if you couldn't rely on your own sense of reality? John has just been in a near fatal car accident. He had several seizures. John could be anyone. Everyman. He is suffering from an illness that he seemingly cannot control which is deteriorating his memory. As we travel within John's illness, within his life, we try to unravel what is the truth and what is a lie. There is also a great correlation between John is experiencing and what their Australian Shepard/ Border Collie is experiencing, as if she gave him these seizures. We experience the illness of epilepsy in different ways and through different realities throughout the book. Nestled within the lives of these two individuals, Helen and John, we not only come to see their relationship but to understand their individual points of view. Touched by horror and fear, "Like the universe gasping for air," is a culmination of human endeavors, of what we allow to dictate our emotions and in the end who we love.

This book will examine the role and the opportunity for EDI advancement as a requisite in healthcare, particularly in the context of the professional landscape as this directly affects care delivery. It considers the problems of clinicians who continue to suffer the ill effects of being othered within a medical setting. It argues that clinicians lacking the awareness and skills necessary to engage in an EDI-informed manner with members of their professional setting and patients, and benignly unaware of their privilege cannot effectively deliver care. The goal is to engage readers in a more inclusive practice.

Attempts to think anew about philosophical questions from the perspective of breath and breathing. As a physiological or biological matter, breath is mostly considered to be mechanical and thoughtless. By expanding on the insights of many religions and therapeutic practices, which emphasize the cultivation of breath, the contributors argue that breath should be understood as fundamentally and comprehensively intertwined with human life and experience. Various dimensions of the respiratory world are referred to as “atmospheres” that encircle and connect human existence, coexistence, and the world. Drawing from a number of traditions of breathing, including from Indian and East Asian religion and philosophy, the book considers breath in relation to ontological, hermeneutical, phenomenological, ethical, and aesthetic concerns in philosophy. The wide-ranging topics include poetry, theater, environmental issues and health, feminism, and media studies. Lenart Škof is Professor of Philosophy and Head of the Institute for Philosophical Studies at the Science and Research Center of Koper, Slovenia, and the coeditor (with Emily A. Holmes) of Breathing with Luce Irigaray. Petri Berndtson is a doctoral candidate of philosophy at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
