Called "everything a twentieth-century war memoir could possibly be" by the New York Times, this national bestseller by Colonel David H. Hackworth presents a vivid and powerful portrait of a life of patriotism.From age fifteen to forty, David Hackworth devoted himself to the US Army and fast became a living legend. In 1971, however, he appeared on television to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. With About Face, he has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation.From Korea to Berlin, from the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth's story is that of an exemplary patriot, played out against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the American military. It is also a stunning indictment of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and of the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war.
Depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses affect millions of people. Unfortunately, many suffer needlessly because mental health professionals have misdiagnosed the causes of these mental illnesses. In fact, your mental illness might be a nasty side effect of a medical problem. The idea isn't new, but few pursue it. Psychiatrists and therapists will generally assume your problem is a psychological one. Treatment is usually talk therapy (counseling) or medication to adjust your "chemical imbalance." After all, you sought help for a mental illness, so they might not check for a medical cause. And medical illnesses often affect mental state long before anyone would suspect a medical problem, so you need to know all you can about these medical illnesses which affect us mentally. Once you understand a medical issue is the culprit, you can seek the help of a medical doctor. Treat the medical problem, and the medical AND mental problems disappear. In Depression & Other Mental Illnesses caused by Medical Diseases, you'll find an easygoing, approachable, and even humorous read. Dr. Dave Skaer shares compelling case studies from his years of counseling and plenty of support from the medical literature. Dr. Skaer experienced severe depression following a bout with the flu back in the 1970s. Despite having a Ph.D. in psychology, he didn't know the flu could lead to depression. But a little research revealed that not only does the flu cause depression, it also causes other psychological problems. It opened his eyes to how important the physical state is to one's mental condition. A few weeks later, one of his counselees asked, "How many biological illnesses are there that cause mental issues?" The question motivated Dr. Skaer to search the medical literature. That's when he discovered other physical problems causing mental complications. Later, while working in a psychiatric hospital, he came across more medical issues that had resulted in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and even schizophrenia. Once the doctors treated the medical problems, the psychological symptoms vanished, giving patients a new lease on life. This book will help you understand: --The many physical causes of mental illnesses --The symptoms of medical diseases to look for --How to speak to your doctor to get the help you need --How to conduct proper research to be more knowledgeable and aid your doctor in finding the correct diagnosis --How to say goodbye to the so-called mental problem and recover your self-esteem, good family times, and better attitude toward work and life. If you or a loved one has depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or any other mental illness and typical treatment just isn't working, this book is for you.
"What you don't know about anger can make you angry " Find out what you don't know about anger in this short, enjoyable book. Don't be a victim any longer. Anger has many faces: hostility, aggression, conflict, and domestic violence, to name a few. This book is for people affected by anger, whether their own or others'. It will introduce you to causes of anger that few understand. Over the years, we've learned how and when to be angry, but not all anger is due to learning. There are actually many biological causes of anger. In Temper, Temper, Dr. Dave Skaer, Ph.D. Psychology, explains how you can identify these causes, and provides insight on how to correct the resulting anger. He also shares many fascinating counseling cases, plus findings from the medical literature. Many people don't know or understand the impact their physical state has on their moods. In this book, you'll learn: --How your biology affects your anger --How to remedy the problem that makes you angry --How the biological and the psychological interact to throw fuel on the fire Dr. Skaer has a heart for helping those with anger problems because he experienced biologically induced anger in his own life. He didn't discover how biology affected his anger while getting his Ph.D. in psychology; instead, he learned it from his wife. After he experienced a few disturbing outbursts, she suggested a possible physiological problem-and she was right He changed this one, simple thing, and his temper issue was resolved. As you might expect, his family was much happier. This experience motivated him to help others with their temper problems. Realizing there might be other biological causes of aggression and impatience, he began researching medical journals and applied this knowledge to his counseling practice. Clients would come in for psychological help but would receive a short education on the biology of anger instead. At first, many didn't believe the "cure," but these clients were pleasantly surprised as they corrected their anger problems. You, too, might find these causes unusual as you read this book, but Dr. Skaer knows that you'll appreciate the results. Being a calmer, less angry person will help improve your life and the lives of those around you.
These poems are an interlude between the hostile urban landscape, the massive influence of the politically wild cityscape together with the amnesia caused by a dyslexia of twisting and shifting metaphors from cement and humus. After years of city living I have come to learn that humankind is sustainable only at the expense of the future. That despair has brought deep anger to the inhumanism needed to nurture and care for this planet. Unless and until we look down to see where our feet touch the breath of the divine we will mark only an ending rather than a new na vet . When there is a new na vet the anthropocene will remain the formula for the end of humanity on this divine planet. It will take an abundance of life with it. These brief poems are a way to enter the humus as if there could be a rebuilding of the top soil so to interact with the soul of humankind to become a new resident of uncertainty in this new age of adjustment.
The moment a sinner trusts Christ he is united to him and is fully and freely justified by God's grace. Christ's blood washes him from his sin, and Christ's righteousness clothes him. But what is this righteousness? Some say it is pardon. David Gay disagrees. Although no single text states it, he contends that Scripture taken as a whole shows this righteousness to be Christ's life-long obedience under the law of God. Hoping that his work might help others, this book comprises his articles on the subject: 'Into the Lions' Den: Christ's Active Obedience Re-Visited'; 'Observations on a Colloquy'; 'Points to Ponder on Christ's Active Obedience'; 'A Theology By Any Other Name...'; 'Sanctification: Jesus and the Believer'.

'Edward Miall? Never heard of him ' No, I dare say not. But David Gay, convinced that what Miall wrote in the 1840s merits serious consideration by believers today, has published his comments on copious extracts from Miall. 'The 1840s? What relevance can such a work have today' Why not put it to the test and read what Gay has produced? To whet your appetite, here are the relevant chapter headings: Miall on Man-Centred 'Religion'; Miall on Motive; Miall on Sabbath Enforcement; Miall on Assent; Miall on Clericalism; Miall on Buildings and Meetings.
'Every once and a while a gem of great worth is uncovered and put on display for others to appreciate. David H.J.Gay has once again unearthed and polished for us a wonderful theological jewel in this booklet, Clarity Dispelling Confusion: S.W.Lynd on the Abrahamic Covenant. Samuel W.Lynd was an influential 19th-century American Baptist minister who has sadly long been forgotten. Drawing on Lynd's 1863 Circular Letter, written for the Miami Baptist Association, Gay shows the relevance of correctly understanding the relationship between the Abrahamic covenant and that of the new covenant in Christ. For anyone interested in Baptist historical-theological studies, this little work is essential' (Chris Hanna, church elder, Maplelawn Baptist Church, Wyoming, Michigan). 'Which aspects of God's promises to Abraham are yours, believer? And which were for the Israelites, Abraham's physical descendants? That distinction required clarification in Samuel Lynd's time, and it is still necessary today. Then, as now, whole denominations were misguided by failure to distinguish between God's promises to the Israelites and those to all the people of the earth who share Abraham's faith. Again and again the New Testament teaches this vital distinction, but such is the muddling of the old and new covenants by many, that David Gay has reintroduced Lynd's letter of explanation. I encourage every believer to check this against the Bible's teaching to be clear on what is for Christians and what is not' (Steve Guest). A free audiobook is available at davidhjgay.com

Whether or not Martin Luther actually said, in precise terms, that 'justification is the article by which the church stands and falls', David Gay is convinced that the sentiment is right. And because of that, and because justification by faith alone on the basis of God's grace is under attack today, an attack which is both heavy and insidious, he publishes this booklet. Yes, justification by faith is the make-or-break doctrine. For most evangelicals and Reformed believers this is a truism. And herein lies the danger. Apparent familiarity breeds, if not contempt, something akin to venerable neglect. As Gay sees it, many, locking the doctrine of justification in a Confession, seem to treat it as little more than a prime exhibit, a treasured heirloom sitting quietly in a museum, something to be gawked at through a glass screen, or wheeled out on appropriate Reformed-anniversaries, but little more. Let out the glorious truth and set it to work is Gay's theme. Justification by faith alone on the basis of God's grace needs to be better understood. More, it needs to be preached far more than it is, and preached with power and passion. A free audiobook of the author reading this work is available at davidhjgay.com
The Emancipation of the Salty Dog tells the compelling yet tragic story of Cameron Michael Burdette, a decent though somewhat idealistic young man growing up in the midst of the turbulent political and social climate of the late 1960's and early 1970's. It paints a picture of a young man with a bright and promising future who, through no fault or conscious intent of his own, stumbles upon a series of cruel circumstances that literally rip that future from his grasp. Over the course of nearly a quarter of a century, those circumstances will deprive Cameron of his freedom, his health his sanity and very nearly, his soul. Yet despite these horrific circumstances, the boundless power of heartfelt love and the strength of the human spirit will, in the end, serve to bring Cameron back from that precipice and restore in him a sense of hope that had long seemed far beyond any possibility of redemption. The Emancipation of the Salty Dog is quite literally the story of one man's epic journey from the joys of Heaven, to the torments of Hell and against all odds back to Heaven again.

This book dives into the mise-en-scène of contemporary China to explore the “becoming cinema” of Chinese cities, societies, and subjectivities. Set in the wake of China’s radical and rapid period of urbanization and infrastructural transformation, and situating itself in the processual city of Ningbo, the book combines empirical, ficto-critical, and philosophical methods to generate a dynamic account of everyday life as new forms of consumer culture bed in. Harnessing a Realist approach that allows for different scales of analysis, the book zooms in on five architectural assemblages including: surreal real estate showrooms; a fragmented history museum; China’s “first and best” Sino-foreign university; a new “Old town”; and weird gamified “any-now(here)-spaces.” Together these modern arrangements and machines for living cast light upon the broader picture sweeping up greater China.

This monograph is dedicated to the lives and scientific achievements of the physiology pioneers Warren and Margaret Lewis. Their story spans the first half of the 20th century, from their respective educations through early, independent research to joint research from 1910 to 1955. Among the numerous developments they initiated, were the discovery of pinocytosis, the beginnings of video microscopy and the development of the first mammalian tissue cultures. Their research expanded the theoretical knowledge of cell structure and function. On a more practical level, they advanced many laboratory methods, like the first recipes for culture media. The text is beautifully enriched with personal anecdotes about their lives. This is the story of two scientific pioneers in the context of early 20th century biology and physiology. It is an inspiration for senior and aspiring researchers.
