Inquiry Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) in Practice - How to Use “the Work” of Byron Katie in Psychotherapy and Coaching.
Manual for Clinical Practice
by Marie Odiel van Rhijn, Esther Leuning
Inquiry Based Stress Reduction is the name of the method which was developed by Byron Katie as ‘the Work’. Byron Katie is the author of very well-known self-help books. However, until now there was no manual available which explains the application of this method and the methodological and scientific evidence which can be given to support it. This book provides a comprehensive and exhaustive overview of how the method can be used by therapists in psychotherapeutic settings in mental health care, business coaches and coaches in other fields of life. As well as providing an extremely precise description of the working method for each step of the protocol, all these steps are clarified by means of practical examples and case studies. Target Group: psychologists, therapists and coaches.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2024The Legacy of John Polidori
The Romantic Vampire and its Progeny
by Sam George, Bill Hughes
John Polidori's novella The Vampyre (1819) is perhaps 'the most influential horror story of all time' (Frayling). Polidori's story transformed the shambling, mindless monster of folklore into a sophisticated, seductive aristocrat that stalked London society rather than being confined to the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was thus the ancestor of the vampire as we know it. This collection explores the genesis of Polidori's vampire. It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy. Texts discussed range from the Romantic period, including the fascinating and little-known The Black Vampyre (1819), through the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, to contemporary vampire film, paranormal romance, and science fiction. They emphasise the background of colonial revolution and racial oppression in the early nineteenth century and the cultural shifts of postmodernity.

International lawSeptember 2009War crimes and crimes against humanity in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court
by Christine Byron
This book provides a critical analysis of the definitions of war crimes and crimes against humanity as construed in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Each crime is discussed from its origins in treaty or customary international law, through developments as a result of the jurisprudence of modern ad hoc or internationalised tribunals, to modifications introduced by the Rome Statute and the Elements of Crimes. The influence of human rights law upon the definition of crimes is discussed, as is the possible impact of State reservations to the underlying treaties which form the basis for the conduct covered by the offences in the Rome Statute. Examples are also given from recent conflicts to aid a 'real life' discussion of the type of conduct over which the International Criminal Court may take jurisdiction. This will be relevant to postgraduates, academics and professionals with an interest in the International Criminal Court and the normative basis for the crimes over which the Court may take jurisdiction.

Biography: historical, political & military2021Mazepa. Rights to the sabre
by Vira Kuryko
An outstanding Cossack figure, romanticized in European culture: his image was inspired by Voltaire, Hugo, Liszt, and Byron. Even during the hetman's life, the Russian tsar launched an information war against Mazepa, and for the fourth century, he has been cursed by Moscow and glorified by Ukrainians. Who is he? A hero of his homeland, a traitor, a romantic lover? This book is an attempt to look once again at what we know about Mazepa, his significant role in the history of Europe, his difficult decisions and his bright life.

FictionNovember 2018Beard's Roman Women
By Anthony Burgess
by Graham Foster
Anthony Burgess draws upon an autobiographical episode to create Beard's Roman Women, the story of a man haunted by his first wife, presumed dead. But is she? A marvellously economical book, full-flavoured, funny, and heartfelt, showing its author at the height of his powers. This new edition is the first to be published with David Robinson's photographs for over 40 years. The text of the novel has been restored using the original typescripts, and Graham Foster's new introduction provides valuable insight into the fictional and biographical contexts of the novel. The text is fully annotated with a detailed set of notes and this edition includes the previously unpublished script for Burgess's television film By the Waters of Leman: Byron and Shelley at Geneva, and a rare piece of Burgess's writing about Rome.

June 1989Vathek
by William Beckford, Franz Blei, Robert Picht, Reinhold Grimm, Stéphane Mallarmé
An Weihnachten 1781 veranstaltete Beckford – laut Byron der reichste aller Söhne Englands – auf seinem Landsitz Fonthill ein ausgelassenes Fest, dessen Teilnehmer das einzige Ziel haben sollten, »sich an allem zu erfreuen, was Geld und Macht ihnen geben konnte«. Fonthill verwandelte sich während der drei Tage des Festes in einen Palast der fünf Sinne: Zärtliche und schmachtende Blicke, ins Ohr geflüsterte Worte, das bezaubernde Lächeln auf den Gesichtern, der süße Duft der Rosen, all das erzeugt eine wollüstige Stimmung …« Unmittelbar nach dem Fest schrieb Beckford seinen »Vathek« nieder, und zwar innerhalb von drei Tagen! Er vertraute das Manuskript seinem Freund Samuel Henley an, der das Werk ohne Namen und ohne Beckfords Einverständnis 1786 veröffentlichte, und zwar in einer englischen Übersetzung (Beckford hatte das Buch in französischer Sprache geschrieben). Diese französische Urfassung erschien im folgenden Jahr in Lausanne und Paris. Das Buch erwies sich als großer Erfolg, und weitere Ausgaben wurden gedruckt in den Jahren 1809, 1815, 1819 und 1876, mit einem Vorwort von Stéphane Mallarmé. Vathek ist ein Kalif, der sich über alle göttlichen und irdischen Gesetze erhaben glaubt. Giaour, der Bote der Mächte der Finsternis, verspricht ihm den Palast des Unterirdischen Feuers zu öffnen und ihm die darin enthaltenen Schätze und Geheimnisse zu übergeben, unter der Bedingung, daß er ihm und seiner Gier die Kinder seiner Höflinge ausliefere. Vathek erfüllt die schreckliche Bedingung und gelangt nach vielen Abenteuern in der Gesellschaft einer kleinen Prinzessin, die als Knabe verkleidet ist, in den Palast von Eblis, wo er das furchtbare Los derer teilt, die sich wie er ganz den weltlichen Freuden verschrieben haben.

Zoology: InvertebratesMarch 2011Molecular and Physiological Basis of Nematode Survival
by Bishwo Adhikari, John Barrett, Ann Burnell, Byron Adams, Eileen Devaney, Warwick Grant, Richard Grencis, Parwinder S Grewal, William Harnett, Maurice Moens, Geert Smant, Ralf Sommer, Mark Viney, Denis J Wright, Jose Lozano, Matthias Hermann, Alan Tunnacliffe, Xiaodong Bai, Ganpati B. Jagdale. Edited by Roland N Perry, David A Wharton.
Nematodes are renowned for their ability to survive severe environmental fluctuations. Their mechanisms to withstand temperature extremes, desiccation, and osmotic and ionic stress are presented here together with information on the underlying biochemical basis contributing to survival. Highlighting parallels and contrasts between parasitic and free-living nematode groups, this book integrates strategies that enable nematodes to persist in the absence of food with tactics used by parasitic forms to survive the defence responses of a plant or animal host. This functional study is an essential resource for researchers in nematology, parasitology and zoology.

MedicineApril 2018Bovine Tuberculosis
by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow
This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.
