"Though accessible in style, this book is not an easy read. Chapters brim with information and analysis. A lesser author could have written an entire book from the information Robertson squeezes into a single chapter. So insightful is his analysis that he leaves the mind racing with thoughts and ideas." Nursing Standard "Men's health texts are hard to find - delighted this text addresses issues like access to health services." Margaret McLoone, Sligo Institute of Technology, Ireland 
 "Steve Robertson has written a valuable book that will serve as an excellent introduction to social science perspectives on the links between masculinities and men’s health … The book is clearly written and the coverage of existing literature is excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending it to all those wishing to extend their understanding of masculinities and health." Professor Lesley Doyal, Journal of Men's Health
 "This book offers something very different; it is easy to read and is set out in a logical order. The chapters have sub-headings, which enable the reader to either read the book by subject, or from cover to cover depending on reading style. The book offers an excellent description and analysis of concepts and issues relating to gender and its effect on engagement with health services. Each chapter is drawn together with a summary, key points and also additional suggestions for improving practice ... This book is a useful resource and a timely reminder to view each patient or client holistically and in a humane way." Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing

<li>How do men understand ‘health’? </li>
<li>What do men consider to be the role of health services in helping them stay well? </li>
<li>What inhibits or facilitates men’s engagement with health services?</li>
</ul> Notions about men’s health are wide ranging and much is said about the role masculinity plays in creating health outcomes for men. Based on empirical research and data, this book provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the links between men, health policy, gender and masculinity. It also offers explicit guidance for practice for those working in the health field looking to better understand and improve men’s health. Importantly the book:
<ul>
<li>Incorporates the views of disabled and gay men to highlight issues of diversity </li>
<li>Draws out key implications for health promotion work with men </li>
<li>Includes ‘key points for practice’ within each chapter</li>
</ul> The book uses interviews with men and health professionals, to explore the key aspects of men’s health and healthcare delivery. Although set within the UK context, it also has wider resonance as it considers how men conceptualize health, how this becomes embodied, the importance of relationships and emotions in men’s preventative health practices, and the socially contingent nature of men’s engagement with preventative health care services. Understanding Men and Health will be of particular interest to academics, students and researchers in nursing, health, sociology and gender studies as well as to pre- registration and post-registration health professionals with an interest in men and health.

The Confederacy put a $4,000 bounty on his head. Astonished Northerners showered him with adulation. Robert Smalls, the son of a white plantation owner, stunned the nation in 1862 when he commandeered Charleston's most prized warship and sailed it past the deadly guns of Fort Sumter to freedom. The heroic escape, which made him the most famous black man in the United States, also earned Smalls a meeting with Abraham Lincoln that changed the course of the Civil War. While his name may have been erased from some history books, the story of one man's heroic fight to free a race from bondage continues to amaze and inspire all Americans

Blooms of Oleander: A collection of romantic and inspirational poetry

Blooms of Oleander is a collection of poems and one emotional short story that have had a dramatic impact on the author. Tales of loves lost and found as well as lessons learned along the way are included on each page in excruciating and inspirational detail. As noted throughout the work, what the heart wants can often be hazardous to one's health mentally, physically and spiritually.The scars of those experiences stay with us long after the infatuation of the moment has passed. Love has no middle ground. Romance teaches us that we emote in extremes. What once was adored can be loathed in an instance. Expectations and ideals are often unreasonable. The imperfections of those we place on pedestals eventually become evident. More times than not, those personal blemishes become guideposts to something or someone else better suited for our love and lives. Being in love with love can be a dangerous undertaking. Loving the ideal of someone rather their authentic self is the road to lasting heartache. Blessed with the gift of hindsight, I count all of those disappointments as gain. I am grateful to have lived long enough to tell the tale. These are my stories. At times, the pain of it all capsized my vessel on the sea of life. Rather than drown in my own despair, I kicked against the waves of misery and swam for shore. A native of Mississippi, Steve Robertson has worked as a professional writer since 1997. Blooms of Oleander is his fourth book and first in the poetry genre. His previous works Flim Flam, Stark Villains and Alpha Dawgs have all been mainstays on the Mississippi best seller's list for the past few years. Robertson and his family live in Starkville, Mississippi where he covers Mississippi State sports on a full-time basis.

The Way of The World is not always the right way because we often get caught up in it. Once this happens, we slowly loose our sense of direction. If we all would be pro-active and take that next step to look within before we act upon-most of the world's "people problems" would gradually fade away. Which would lead us living in contentment with one another. This is the meaning of the Lord's Prayer were it says: Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Just think about it; we do not have to wait to get to Heaven to have peace and contentment. We can all start here.
