        The Lord’s battle

        Preaching, print and royalism during the English Revolution

        by William White

        This book explores the preaching and printing of sermons by royalists during the English Revolution. While scholars have long recognised the central role played by preachers in driving forward the parliamentarian war-effort, the use of the pulpit by the king's supporters has rarely been considered. The Lord's battle, however, argues that the pulpit offered an especially vital platform for clergymen who opposed the dramatic changes in Church and state that England experienced in the mid-seventeenth century. It shows that royalists after 1640 were moved to rethink earlier attitudes to preaching and print, as the unique potential for sermons to influence both popular and elite audiences became clear. As well as contributing to our understanding of preaching during the Civil Wars therefore, this book engages with recent debates about the nature of royalism in seventeenth-century England.

        Fearless Parenting Makes Confident Kids

        by Shulamit Blank & Orly Fuchs-Shabtai

        Fearless Parenting is about parental authority in modern timesand its pivotal role in raising self-reliant, compassionate, and ethical children, and in preventing behavioral and even severe psychiatric disorders.   The last generation witnessed a backlash against disciplining children. We as parents are told to engage in negotiation with our kids about their behavior. We are afraid to be tough with them in case they won't love us or worse—break down. As a result, families today face severe behavior problems at earlier ages, and parents throw up their hands in resignation. The main theme and objective of this book is to prove that setting and enforcing reasonable and appropriate boundaries, combined with learning and education, could save parents' relationships with their kids and literally save children’s lives.   The book is unique in that it presents in a direct, simple, and yet profound way, real case studies and situations commonly encountered, along with severe cases of drug abuse, delinquencies, and mental disturbances. All cases are shown to respond very well to authority and boundaries adjusted to the specific situation and behavior. The book contains numerous references to professional material for the more advanced reader and derives inspiration from ancient philosophers and religious thinkers.   Shulamit Blank, M.D, is a pediatrician and psychiatrist, specializing in child and adolescent behavioral disturbances. Dr. Blank is the founder and, since 1993, CEO of a community-based educational and treatment facility in Israel for children and adolescents with severe psychiatric and behavioral disorders, in which she is successfully implementing her methods, preventing psychiatric hospitalization and incarceration, and minimizing the use of psychiatric drugs through teaching and education adjusted to the child's specific problems, such as ADHD, learning disabilities, etc. Due to her breakthrough approach, Dr. Blank is well-recognized and fully involved in the professional community worldwide. Dr. Blank has three children and seven grandchildren and resides with her spouse near Tel Aviv.   Orly Fuchs-Shabtai is a clinical psychologist. In 2006 she established a national program for the prevention of child violence. There are about thirty-five counselors from the therapeutic field in the program, which provides counseling to hundreds of families each year and to teachers of preschool through elementary school. Fuchs-Shabtai is the mother of three grown-up children and lives in Tel Aviv.   The authors strive to follow the ancient wisdom of the biblical aphorism: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).   An English-Language eBook  was published in fall 2014 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA.

        Cleaning Up the Environment, Revised Edition

        Hazardous Waste Technology

        by Anne Maczulak, Ph.D.

        Praise for the previous edition: "...valuable...a welcome addition for use in classroom studies and for those considering a career in the field."—School Library Journal The industrial might of the United States grew in the 1930s and flourished during the two world wars. As businesses large and small supplied the needs of the country, they discarded their wastes in landfills, pits, and waterways. It was an easy and inexpensive way to get rid of wastes before more were made. Waste dumping had not yet been linked with illnesses so few people worried about it, especially if the materials were hidden under the ground or in the ocean. Within 20 years of the end of WWII, those wastes began to cause serious health problems. Featuring full-color photographs and line illustrations, Cleaning Up the Environment, Revised Edition explores current and emerging methods in pollution cleanup. Hazardous wastes are removed from contaminated places by physical, chemical, or biological methods, and these methods are described here as well as their advantages and disadvantages. This eBook takes readers through the entire step-by-step process of finding, testing, and cleaning up hazardous waste sites, beginning with contamination assessment and ending with a cleaned and restored body of land or water. Chapters include: Measuring Contamination Excavation of Contaminated Sites Microbes and Plants for Toxic Cleanup Oxidation Technology Brownfield Sites Remediating the Water Supply Superfund Sites.

        The return of the housewife

        Why women are still cleaning up

        by Emma Casey

        An illuminating look at the world of cleanfluencers that asks why the burden of housework still falls on women. Housework is good for you. Housework sparks joy. Housework is beautiful. Housework is glamorous. Housework is key to a happy family. Housework shows that you care. Housework is women's work. Social media is flooded with images of the perfect home. TikTok and Instagram 'cleanfluencers' produce endless photos and videos of women cleaning, tidying and putting things right. Figures such as Marie Kondo and Mrs Hinch have placed housework, with its promise of a life of love and contentment, at the centre of self-care and positive thinking. And yet housework remains one of the world's most unequal institutions. Women, especially poorer women and women of colour, do most low-paid and unpaid domestic labour. In The return of the housewife, Emma Casey asks why these inequalities matter and why they persist after a century of dramatic advances in women's rights. She offers a powerful call to challenge the prevailing myths around housework and the 'naturally competent' woman homemaker.

        Fearless Parenting

        by Shulamit Blank & Orli Fuchs-Shabtai

        "Fearless Parenting" porte sur l'autorité parentale dans les temps modernes et sur son rôle essentiel dans l'éducation d’enfants autonomes, compatissants et vertueux et la prévention des troubles du comportement et, parfois, de graves troubles psychiatriques.La dernière génération a connu un contrecoup dans la discipline des enfants. Or, en tant que parents, nous devons discuter avec nos enfants de leur comportement. Nous évitons d'être durs avec eux de peur qu'ils nous privent de leur amour ou pire - qu'ils s'effondrent. Par conséquent, les familles d'aujourd'hui font face à de graves troubles du comportement à un âge plus précoce et les parents baissent les bras en signe d’abandon. Le thème principal et l'objectif de ce livre consistent à prouver que la création et l'application de limites raisonnables et appropriées, liées à l'instruction et à l'éducation, pourraient remédier aux relations parents/enfants et, à proprement parler, sauver la vie des enfants.Ce livre est unique dans la mesure où il présente de façon directe, simple et cependant profonde des études de cas réels et des situations fréquemment rencontrées, ainsi que des cas graves de toxicomanie, de délinquance et de troubles psychiques. Le traitement de tous ces cas présente une réaction positive à l'autorité et aux limites adaptées à la situation et au comportement spécifiques. Cet ouvrage contient de nombreuses références à la vie professionnelle pour le lecteur confirmé et s'inspire d'anciens philosophes et penseurs religieux.À propos des auteursShulamit Blank, docteure en médecine, est pédiatre et psychiatre spécialisée dans les troubles du comportement des enfants et des adolescents.En Israël, le Dr Blank est fondatrice et, depuis 1993, directrice générale d'un centre communautaire d’enseignement et de traitement des enfants et adolescents atteints de graves troubles psychiatriques et du comportement. C’est dans ce centre qu’elle parvient à appliquer ses méthodes en limitant l'hospitalisation et l'incarcération psychiatriques et en minimisant l'utilisation de médicaments psychiatriques grâce à une éducation et un enseignement adaptés aux problèmes spécifiques de l'enfant, que ce soient le TDAH, les troubles d'étude, etc.Orli Fuchs-Shabtai, est psychologue clinicienne. Elle a travaillé comme psychothérapeute pour adultes et dirige actuellement un programme national de prévention de la violence infantile.Les auteurs s'efforcent de suivre la sagesse antique de l'aphorisme biblique : « Instruis l'enfant selon la voie qu'il doit suivre; Et quand il sera vieux, il ne s'en détournera pas » (Proverbes 22:6).

        FURCHTLOSE ELTERN

        by Dr. Shulamit Blank und Orly Fuchs-Shabtai

        FURCHTLOSE ELTERN – Ein mutiger Erziehungsansatz f?r Eltern von Heute Von Dr. Shulamit Blank und Orly Fuchs-Shabtai Furchtlose Eltern geht dem Problem mit der Autoritהt auf den Grund, den Eltern heute hהufig haben. Die Autoritהt der Eltern spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Erziehung selbststהndiger, mitf?hlender und ethisch handelnder Jugendlicher und bei der Vorbeuge gegen Verhaltensprobleme und psychische Stצrungen. Die j?ngste Generation erlebt eine starke Tendenz gegen die Disziplinierung von Kindern. Eltern werden angehalten, mit Kindern ?ber ihr Verhalten zu verhandeln. Wir haben Angst davor, zu rau im Umgang mit Kindern zu sein, wenn sie nicht tun, was wir sagen, oder widerspenstig werden. Das Ergebnis sind Familien mit schweren Verhaltensstצrungen von immer j?ngeren Kindern und Eltern, die angesichts ihrer Kinder resignieren. Zentralthema und Ziel dieses Buchs ist der Beweis, dass das Setzen und Durchsetzen vern?nftiger und angebrachter Grenzen in der Schule und bei der Erziehung in der Familie die Beziehung zwischen Kindern und Eltern heilen und buchstהblich das Leben von Kindern retten kann. Die direkte, einfache und tiefgehende Prהsentation, zahlreiche Fallstudien und hהufig erlebte Situationen, darunter auch Fהlle von Drogenmissbrauch, kriminellem Verhalten und psychischen Stצrungen, zeichnen dieses Buch aus. In allen vorgestellten Fהllen reagierten die Kinder sehr gut auf die Autoritהt und die gesetzten Grenzen in den jeweiligen Situationen und zeigten eine Verbesserung ihres Verhaltens. Das Buch enthהlt zahlreiche Literaturhinweise auf pהdagogische Literatur zum weiteren Studium sowie inspirierende Hinweise auf antike Philosophen und Theologen. Shulamit Blank Dr. Blank ist Gr?nderin und (seit 1993) CEO eines israelischen Erziehungs- und Behandlungszentrums f?r Kinder und Jugendliche mit schweren psychischen und Verhaltensstצrungen, in dem sie ihre Methoden erfolgreich in der Praxis umsetzt. Ihrer Arbeit ist es zu verdanken, dass zahlreichen Jugendlichen die Einlieferung in psychiatrische Anstalten erspart wurde und der Einsatz von Psychopharmaka minimiert werden konnte. Ihre pהdagogischen Methoden sind auf die spezifischen Probleme von Kindern und Jugendlichen, darunter ADHD und Lernstצrungen, abgestimmt. Der wegweisende Ansatz von Dr. Shulamit Blank ist in der pהdagogischen Forschung und Lehre weltweit anerkannt. Sie hat drei Kinder und sieben Enkelkinder und lebt mit ihrem Partner in der nהhe von Tel Aviv. Orly Fuchs-Shabtai Die Autorinnen sind bestrebt, in ihrer Arbeit die Weisheit des folgenden biblischen Spruchs walten zu lassen: „Erzieh das Kind auf seinem Lebensweg: dann weicht es auch im Alter nicht davon ab.“ (Sprichwצrter 22:6) ist klinische Psychologin. Sie gr?ndete 2006 ein nationale Programm zur Verhinderung von Gewalt gegen Kinder. Im Rahmen dieses Programms beraten f?nfunddrei�ig Therapeuten jedes Jahr hunderte von Familien sowie Lehrer von Kindern im Kindergarten bis zur Grundschule. Orly Fuchs-Shabtai ist Mutter drei erwachsener Kinder und lebt in Tel Aviv. , M.D. ist Kinderarzt und Psychologe mit Schwerpunkt auf Verhaltensstצrungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen.
