If you are struggling to help a loved one recover from addiction--and to cope with the devastating impact on the whole family--you are not alone. But until now, there has been no single book that gives the millions of families like yours the comprehensive, unbiased information you need. This expertly written guide addresses the painful questions that spouses, parents, and grown children face every day. Why do addicts make such bad choices? How can you find (and afford) treatment that works--and convince your loved one to try it? Can relapse be prevented? When does being supportive cross the line to enabling? Providing science-based answers and resources, the authors cover crucial emotional, financial, and legal issues that simply aren't discussed in other books. The more your family knows about the myths and realities of addiction, the better equipped you will be to overcome it.

DEATHWORLD (SF Novel)

DEATHWORLD (SF Novel)

In "Deathworld," Harry Harrison masterfully constructs a vivid tapestry of life on a hostile planet, where the environment itself is a formidable antagonist. The novel follows the journey of Jason dinAlt, a gambler with a unique ability to manipulate chance, as he navigates the treacherous landscapes of a world where survival is a daily struggle. Harrison employs a dynamic blend of hard science fiction and adventure narrative, intricately detailing the ecological and psychological facets of life on Deathworld, while also embedding humor and satire throughout. This combination reflects the broader literary context of 1960s science fiction, which was increasingly exploring themes of ecological balance and human adaptability in the face of adversity. Harry Harrison, an influential figure in the genre, often drew from his experiences as a writer and artist to navigate the complexities of speculative worlds. His own upbringing--a mix of scientific curiosity and a love for storytelling--shaped his understanding of humanity's relationship with nature. "Deathworld" can be seen as a reflection of Harrison's interests in chance, ecology, and moral quandaries, making it a seminal text that resonates with readers who ponder the consequences of man's actions on their environments. This novel is highly recommended for any reader intrigued by thought-provoking science fiction that not only entertains but also challenges perceptions of survival and ethics in an alien context. Harrison's engaging prose and compelling characters will enthrall both seasoned fans of the genre and newcomers alike, offering a thrilling exploration of what it means to endure in an unforgiving world.

In "Planet of the Damned," Harry Harrison crafts a riveting science fiction narrative that delves into themes of survival and the human spirit against a backdrop of a harsh, hostile planet. Written in the 1960s, a period marked by a surge in speculative fiction and sociopolitical discourse, Harrison employs a direct and engaging literary style, infused with sharp dialogue and vivid descriptions. The story follows a group of outcasts on the planet Blasnik, where the unforgiving environment serves as both antagonist and crucible, compelling characters to confront their fears, ambitions, and alliances in a vividly imagined world. Harry Harrison, an influential figure in science fiction, was notable for his ability to blend adventure with social commentary. Drawing from his background in art and his acute observations of societal trends, he infuses "Planet of the Damned" with an exploration of class struggle and human resilience. His experiences during World War II and his deep understanding of technological advancements shape the complex world-building and character dynamics in this novel. A compelling read for both seasoned fans of the genre and newcomers, "Planet of the Damned" is an essential work that combines thrilling adventure with poignant reflection on humanity's place in the cosmos. Harrison's masterful storytelling invites readers to ponder the moral dilemmas faced by its characters and, by extension, our own societal challenges.

PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK SERIES From the depths of the centuries, when man acquired an evolutionarily sufficient brain, the most developed brain of all other animals, in order to acquire self-consciousness, at one point he wondered: "Why do I exist? Why do I live? Why should I be born? Why should I die? " These questions remain unanswered to this day. There is no scientific answer from the rational animal "human", which, as we now know for sure with scientific knowledge, evolved from the Australopithecus. In 1924, British anthropologist Raymond Dart discovered a 2.8- to 3.8-million-year-old skull in an East African quarry. He named his find the Australopithecus because it was found in the southern regions (Austral) of East Africa. However, the study of other fossils found in various parts of Africa (such as Australopithecus bosei) showed that the Australopithecus is one of the direct ancestors of humans, as based on its characteristics it is placed in Humans, the family of Humans in which belongs to man. The only thing we can say with absolute certainty, that is, with sensory knowledge, is that life is an experience. However, religion, metaphysics, literature and fiction, with only the imagination, provide answers and solutions to the above problems and offer man expectations, hopes, life after death, paradise, hell, for god, devil, angels, soul, etc. each of them, in its own version. These, unfortunately, present the claim as knowledge, that is, as scientific knowledge unique to man. In this series of books, in general, the question flows what is philosophy, what is science and whether philosophy should be scientific, that is, to seek knowledge, truths, exclusively with the scientific method and the specialized scientific instruments, the scientific observation, experiment and calculation devices. In this series of books the question arises whether the only source of knowledge, truth, experience of life for man is the sensual, sensory, empirical scientific method.

Selwyn Francis Edge, invariably known simply as ‘SF’, was a highly significant pioneer of motoring in Britain. When, in 1902, he drove a Napier to victory in the Gordon Bennett Cup, a mighty event on public roads between Paris in France and Innsbruck in Austria, he initiated serious British endeavour in motor racing. He was deeply involved in the birth of Brooklands, setting a 24-hour solo driving record there when the circuit opened in 1907. As a towering industry figure most closely associated with Napier and AC Cars, he played an important role in the growth of car manufacture in Britain. In the words of ‘Bentley Boy’ S.C.H. ‘Sammy’ Davis, ‘His keen grey eyes, the bushy eyebrows and the hawk-like face… made him a notable figure in any assembly.’ This biography uncovers the life of an extraordinary man whose achievements deserve to be far more widely recognised.

This is the first full collection of all 122 of Russell Ackoff's f/laws - previously only available in two separate books from Triarchy Press (Management f-Laws and Systems Thinking for Curious Managers.) Each f/law in this full collection is accompanied by Ackoff's own witty and acerbic explanatory text and (in the printed edition) by his original drawings and cartoons. The collection reverts to Ackoff's original typescript without any commentary or other introduction. As Ackoff himself says: "Over time I have become aware of some very important truths about the practice of management. These truths, which I call the 'F/laws of Management', contradict assumptions that are commonly held by managers. These simple management truths are much more important than the fundamental, but complex, truths revealed by scientists, economists, politicians, or philosophers. The truths these wise thinkers reveal are at most frosting on the cake. The truths presented here are the cake." This definitive collection distils Ackoff's wisdom and a lifetime of experience about management, leadership, innovation, teamwork and organizations. It should be required reading for anyone who works in an organization.
