This unique novel is written by the military officer and is based on true events. It explores the impact of war and the challenges it poses on one’s personality and character. After the main character was deployed to the war zone in the 3rd year of his military service, his brigade landed on the stretch of the front line that saw the heaviest fighting. Each new day could be the last for the young armored vehicle mechanic, who was shelled, lost his friends, and overcame psychological trauma.

Transcendent Dreaming: Stepping into Our Human Potential (Winds of Change Books, October 2008) by Christina Donnell, PhD, recounts a series of dreams that, much to the author's surprise, revealed within her a capacity for prophecy, clairvoyance, stepping out of time, materialization, and ultimately, a state of oneness with all creation. These faculties of expanded consciousness, she proposes, lie dormant in humankind, ready to be awakened. This multiple award-winning book chronicles Donnell's radical spiritual awakening through "transcendent dreaming," a form of dreaming that expands consciousness, allowing dreamers to identify with the intelligence that animates the universe. Through example, the book invites readers to access their infinite nature by delving into their own dream experiences. In the process, it eases theirtransition from identifying with the individual self to identifying with the underlying intelligence pervading the universe. This blueprint for a transcendent humanity guides us toward a future of inner peace, joy, and wonderment independent of external circumstances. Donnell offers ten of her own dreams, not so much as revelatory epiphanies, rather as sources of inspiration so that readers will want to delve deeply into their own dream experiences. Her dreams are organized in a way that lets readers witness the dream experiences as they unfolded, and learning more about their significance for expanding consciousness and accessing transcendent reality.
People with dementia experience their condition as a big change in which, for example, new events are not linked to existing experiences and wishes, thoughts, and actions can no longer be connected to each other. This kind of experience of the self, due to the intergative function of the brainbeing temporarily or permanently lost, is called dissociative self-experience. Based on this understanding of dementia, the author develops an approach to effectively understand and support people with dementia in everyday activities. Typical everyday situations and behaviours are presented and reflected on in a practical context.
Cough, hay fever or herpes are at least as troublesome during pregnancy and breast-feeding as under normal “conditions” - and yet everything is different. Physiological changes to the body in pregnancy and lactation, together with the vulnerability of the unborn baby or infant, set particular requirements when selecting the correct, safe medication. Especially in the area of self-medication, the needs of pregnant and breast-feeding women for information are great and call for competent advice! This comprehensive handbook is the key: General information about pharmacotherapy, supplementary measures, vaccinations, questions about diet and infections in pregnancy and lactation creates a broad knowledge base. The core feature of the book are the traffic light tables, with precise recommendations for medicinal products for all types of treatment. All the important indications for selfmedication in pregnancy and lactation are listed and the tables are supported by detailed explanations of the individual assessments. The sections “Advice from medical specialists” are particularly useful, with additional tips from gynaecologists and “Footnotes” with relevant information on the use of prescription- only medicines – and as the ultimate practical tool: the enclosed sales counter leaflets with all traffic light tables to enable quick reference for first-class advice!
In his wide-ranging study of architecture and cultural evolution, Chris Abel argues that, despite progress in sustainable development and design, resistance to changing personal and social identities shaped by a technology-based and energy-hungry culture is impeding efforts to avert drastic climate change. The book traces the roots of that culture to the coevolution of Homo sapiens and technology, from the first use of tools as artificial extensions to the human body, to the motorized cities spreading around the world, whose uncontrolled effects are changing the planet itself. Advancing a new concept of the meme, called the 'technical meme,' as the primary agent of cognitive extension and technical embodiment, Abel proposes a theory of the 'extended self' encompassing material and spatial as well as psychological and social elements. Drawing upon research from philosophy, psychology and the neurosciences, the book presents a new approach to environmental and cultural studies that will appeal to a broad readership searching for insights into the origins of the crisis.
Intentional self-harm, often in the form of cutting one's self, is generally associated with emotional or mental distress, especially when observed among teens. When in pain, the human body releases calming endorphins, leading some to injure themselves to experience the endorphin euphoria. Self-harm is associated with mental health disorders such as borderline personality disorder, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa. And while those who engage in self-harm may not intend themselves any serious physical injury, such risky behavior can result in death. Cutting and Self-Harm discusses the most common types of self-injurious behavior, what they mean, how they can be treated, and how they can be prevented.Chapters include: What Is Self-Harm? Who Engages In Self-Harm? Self-Harm and Mental Illness Diagnosis and Treatment of Self-Harm Prevention of Self-Harm
Suicide and the Gothic is the first protracted study of how the act of self-destruction recurs and functions within one of the most enduring and popular forms of fiction. Comprising eleven original essays and an authoritative introduction, this collection explores how the act of suicide has been portrayed, interrogated and pathologised from the eighteenth century to the present. The featured fictions embrace both canonical and the less-studied texts and examine the crisis of suicide - a crisis that has personal, familial, religious, legal and medical implications - in European, American and Asian contexts. Featuring detailed interventions into the understanding of texts as temporally distant as Thomas Percy's Reliques and Patricia Highsmith's crime fictions, and movements as diverse as Wertherism, Romanticism and fin-de-siècle decadence, Suicide and the Gothic provides a comprehensive and compelling overview of this recurrent crisis in fiction and culture.
Drawing from the latest research on interoception— which examines how our senseof self arises from subjective appraisal of bodily signals and how those appraisal habits develop in childhood—the book argues for a reframing of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other “mental health” issues as social-emotional illnesses rooted in the body. Saga Briggs harnesses psychedelic science to show how interoception can be altered by psychoactive substances, providing an additional framework for understanding their therapeutic benefits.
