Financial Armageddon: Protecting Your Future from Four Impending Catastrophes Michael J. Panzner See book keywords and concepts

That might mean eliminating unwatched cable tv channels, making coffee at home rather than going to Starbucks, or reading a library book instead of renting a DVD—and more than likely, a whole lot more. The new reality will force Americans to pay close attention to what they need and what is truly important in an economic sense and, perhaps, a spiritual sense. Money woes will invariably invite a host of other difficulties, including stress and conflict, suffering and sadness, and depression and illness.

Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation Charles Barber See book keywords and concepts

Lately, cocooning has taken on a new wrinkle—the creation of and deep immersion in our own customized on-demand "digital environments," which combine the realms of Web surfing, video games, instant messaging, cell phones and their photographic and text messaging capabilities, cable tv, DVDs, and on-demand television and movies.

With each new disorder came a new market of potential antidepressant users: uptight Americans, melancholy Americans, weight-obsessed Americans, shy and lonely Americans sitting at home on the couch, watching cable tv ... As long as the SSRIs were being prescribed for serious depression, their benefits clearly outweighed the risks. But nobody seriously believes that SSRIs are prescribed only or even largely for serious depression anymore."36 As Edward Shorter has argued, the threshold of what constitutes a psychiatric illness has been dramatically lowered.

Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century Alex Steffen See book keywords and concepts

Dur wireless Internet connections go to cable modems, running over incredibly expensive buried copper wires laid to carry yesterday's big thing, cable tv. The houses that contain us and our trusty laptops represent another couple of hundred thousand dollars worth of capital, and rely extensively on the availability of lumber, shingles, and glass—and on centuries of architectural refinement. This is modernity: a pile of capital, of sunk costs, running into the quadrillions of dollars. It takes this much capital to provide average Americans or Europeans with their average lifestyles.

The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century James Howard Kunstler See book keywords and concepts

At their worst, the rap videos played on cable tv resemble the war chants of a conflict that has not yet been joined. Only among a group as narcissistically lost and clueless as white suburban America would these messages be welcomed as just another species of entertainment. In the disorders of the Long Emergency, when the poor become really poor by world standards, the urban ghettos may explode again, and the next time it happens it will be in the context of a much more desperate society than the one that witnessed the 1992 Rodney King incident and its aftermath.

I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap air fares, cable tv, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. It would be churlish for me now to complain about any future hardship. I was less than entirely thrilled by what my culture managed to make of all the advantages conferred by cheap oil, and I made a career of criticizing our behavior in books. I didn't get rich but I supported myself without having to suck up to any boss. I was free and unfettered, and I was grateful to be here at all. Thirty years ago as a young newspaper reporter, I went through the OPEC oil embargo.

Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century Alex Steffen See book keywords and concepts

Two integral aspects of TRUCE are the student-run production The Real Deal, a cable tv program featuring arts and entertainment by the kids in the program, and the publication of their own newspaper, Harlem Overheard. One of the growing afflictions of inner cities everywhere is respiratory illness. The American Health Association reports that asthma plagues more children in low-income urban areas than it does anywhere else —mostly because city pollution is compounded by smokestacks and other sources of industrial pollution, which are often concentrated in these neighborhoods.

DIY culture has given rise to a number of popular publications, an entire cable tv network, and thousands of blogs and Web sites. With each experiment yielding a different result, and plenty of media outlets for sharing experiences, the wealth of resources has become a self-sustaining treasure chest growing at an exponential rate. sr DIY Culture Do-it-yourselfers do not see limits, they see sprawling potential, order drawn from chaos, hope. Outside of mainstream culture, many think this way out of necessity.

Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! F. Batmanghelidj See book keywords and concepts

We all know that, because of their network of cables to people's homes, telephone companies and cable tv distributors are able to provide other services through their wires, such as Internet and other systems of information and communication that can be connected to computer systems in the house. Their claim to fame is the fact that they have been successful in spreading their wires far and wide. The same wire can be used to pass different coded information all at the same time. All they have to do is to package the information in a particular range of wavelengths of electromagnetic energy.

The Big Fix: How the Pharmaceutical Industry Rips Off American Consumers Katharine Greider See book keywords and concepts

Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) were taken aback when in 2001, the makers of stimulants to treat kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) decided to pitch their new long-acting versions straight to moms via women's magazines and cable TV; this broke with a thirty-year-old voluntary international agreement to abstain from promoting controlled substances—drugs with addictive or abuse potential—to consumers. One DEA policy official told USA Today that the campaign, picturing happy kids and smiling mothers, evinced "the mentality of 'mother's little helpers' from the '60s.

Toxic Sludge is Good For You: Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton See book keywords and concepts

To monitor TV coverage, for example, Video Monitoring Services advertises that it "records all news and public affairs programs on local TV stations in more than 130 markets, local radio stations in 14 markets and national broadcast TV, cable tv and radio networks." VMS also monitors stories in more than 20 countries including Australia, Canada, Germany, Israel and Japan. The company notifies its clients immediately which stories it has snagged off the airwaves that correspond to a list of "keywords" the client has provided.

Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine Elson M. Haas, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

My adventures have led me to do two Neon Noodle cable tv spots on Dr. Haas' show "To Health," as well as to be a collection center for seemingly unrelated Noodleology Anthology tidbits. The noodle, through history and myriad cultures has become a universal means of food communication and is included in all types of diets, even wheat-free diets, as there are now many products available for people with an allergy to wheat.

Radical Healing: Integrating the World's Great Therapeutic Traditions to Create a New Transformative Medicine Rudolph M. Ballentine, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

If the nerves are your cable tv and the hormones your mail, the ground matrix might be thought of as your Internet. It was discovered that tiny bundles of nerve fibers and capillaries emerge from this ground substance to penetrate the skin surface at certain points. Where they do, they bring a microscopic cylinder of the extracellular matrix with them. This point is a "window" onto the ground system, and when it is punctured by a fine needle, shifts reverberate throughout. As you might have already guessed, these little points correspond to those marked on the acupuncturist's chart.

Suddenly there are big new actors in the media business, super-giant corporations like Disney, Time-Warner, TCI cable tv, and telephone companies. The magnitude of the players is incredibly large. Increasingly corporate giants and super-giants are working together in joint ventures; for instance, Turner is partly owned by Time-Warner and TCI. Journalism, news and public information have been integrated formally into the highest levels of financial and non-journalistic corporate control.

Making Them Pay: How to Get the Most from Health Insurance and Managed Care Rhonda D. Orin See book keywords and concepts

You have a contract to use a credit card, to have cable tv, to have electricity and water. You even have a contract to shop at Costco. Most of these contracts are long, complicated documents, filled with small print and technical language. You probably don't understand them, and that's not great—but in most cases it's still okay. Generally you just pay the bills when they come due. In fact, you may make monthly mortgage payments for thirty years without ever knowing what your mortgage contract really says. Your health plan, though, is a different story.

Natural Pet Cures: Dog & Cat Care the Natural Way Dr. John Heinerman See book keywords and concepts

I remember watching cable tv that day and seeing this bold announcement flash upon the screen every 30 minutes: "Shark cartilage cures cancer." In 1992 another researcher, Dr. I. William Lane, wrote the book Sharks Don't Get Cancer (Garden City Park, NY: Avery Publishing Group, Inc.), which became an overnight best-seller and set the medical, pharmaceutical, and health-food-supplement industries on their ears. Probably no single substance in recent memory has made such a tremendous impact on the health psyches of consumers worldwide as this has.

Prevention's Healing With Motion: An All-New Approach to Health and Healing Based on Simple Mind and Body Exercises The Editors of PREVENTION See book keywords and concepts

The stress producers in our daily lives are more prolific and intricate than the programming on cable tv And stress is nasty stuff. Like excessive fat in our diets, it leads to a whole host of related problems, ranging from heart disease and insomnia to colds and allergies. Well, now you can add pain in the joints and muscles of your face—called temporomandibular disorder, or TMD—to the list of stress-related problems. When you have TMD, your jaw may lock when you try to open and close your mouth, and you may find that it's painful to chew.

A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients Ruth Winter, M.S. See book keywords and concepts

The once-very-particular prestige cosmetic companies, as a result, are now out to sell us their products anywhere they can, from cable tv, direct mail, beauty salons, and, yes, even in the territory of the broad marketers—the supermarket and the drugstore. More and more prestige companies are joining the broad marketers in the use 21Rhonda Schaffler, CNN, "Personal Care for Kids," March 12, 1997, 11:16 am EST. 22Ibid. 23"Cosmetics Through the Looking Glass: Recovery Signs Upbeat, But Diversion and Shifts in Retail Patterns Create Concern," DCI, June 1993, pp. 28-39.
