Trapped in the experience of depression, it is extremely difficult to escape the experience without first intellectually understanding the complexities of your internal psychological experience. Without first understanding something, we cannot fix it. For this reason, many people experiencing depression long to escape their experience, but can't. Because their desire to break free is not reinforced with sound intellectual understanding, breaking free from the experience of depression is eventually believed to be an impossible achievement. Escaping the Experience of Depression provides the conscious awareness necessary giving you the opportunity to escape your experience of depression. The answers you've been searching for to all the unanswered questions that are keeping you in a constant state of torment, frustration and personal defeat reside within. Once you breakthrough your own barriers of ignorance you cannot undo that which you know. Escaping the Experience of Depression provides you an opportunity to regain psychological control and achieve emotional stability. Within these pages you will discover the way out, you will be provided an opportunity to break free from the experience of depression, and you will learn how to stay free.
The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your psychological, emotional and physical experiences in the present moment. In times of personal crisis, it can seem difficult to gain the psychological calm and emotional stability we desire. When a time of crisis strikes, we quickly focus on the problems and difficulties we are facing, ignoring ourselves along the way. Neglecting to take care of ourselves in hard times multiplies the negative intensity of our experience. Self-Care is an essential guide for anyone looking to navigate through a time of crisis well. You will learn how you can flourish and thrive psychologically, emotionally, physically, and practically, despite all the challenges and difficulties you face.

The mammoths of the ancient world have been wonderfully preserved in the ice of Siberia. The cold, only a few miles out in space, will be far more intense than in the polar regions and its power of preserving the dead body would most probably be correspondingly increased. When the hero-scientist of this story knows he must die, he conceives a brilliant idea for the preservation of his body, the result of which even exceeded his expectations. What, how, and why are cleverly told here.

"Remarkable for its relentless truth-telling, and the depth and thoroughness of its investigation, for the freshness of its sources, and for the shock power of its findings. Even a reader who is not unfamiliar with the sources and literature of the subject can be jolted by its impact."--C. Vann Woodward, New York Review of Books "Dark Journey is a superb piece of scholarship, a book that all students of southern and African-American history will find valuable and informative."--David J. Garrow, Georgia Historical Quarterly
This in-depth account of the rise and decline of the Citizens' Councils of America details the organization's role in the massive resistance to school desegregation in the South following the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision. Included are a new preface and updated bibliography. "A tour de force of research and narration. . . in highly readable style. [McMillen] . . . seems to have read everything the historical record has to offer on the subject and to have known exactly what to make of it. . . Himself squarely on the side of the future, he is sensitive to the anguish that prompted the hysteria of the misguided racist. . . . By any test, a masterful study." -- Journal of Southern History "Takes seriously the people who made the movement, when ridicule and caricature would have been an easier analytical technique. Solidly researched and well written. . . an intriguing story." -- Augustus M. Burns, Social Studies

A Transition to Proof: An Introduction to Advanced Mathematics describes writing proofs as a creative process. There is a lot that goes into creating a mathematical proof before writing it. Ample discussion of how to figure out the "nuts and bolts'" of the proof takes place: thought processes, scratch work and ways to attack problems. Readers will learn not just how to write mathematics but also how to do mathematics. They will then learn to communicate mathematics effectively.The text emphasizes the creativity, intuition, and correct mathematical exposition as it prepares students for courses beyond the calculus sequence. The author urges readers to work to define their mathematical voices. This is done with style tips and strict "mathematical do’s and don’ts", which are presented in eye-catching "text-boxes" throughout the text. The end result enables readers to fully understand the fundamentals of proof. Features: The text is aimed at transition courses preparing students to take analysis Promotes creativity, intuition, and accuracy in exposition The language of proof is established in the first two chapters, which cover logic and set theory Includes chapters on cardinality and introductory topology
This study examines the impact of racial, gender, and religious constructs of Jewish masculinity on a select group of male writers including George Du Maurier, Theodor Herzl, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and Philip Roth during the Modernist and Postmodern eras. In reading the work of these authors, Davison demonstrates how religious-based prejudices as well as doctrinal Judaic concepts were sustained in the discourse of race and gender surrounding "the Jew." The project engages a dynamic composed of the historically constitutive Jewish racial portrait, the psychosexual impact of that racial theory as internalized by Jewish males, and differing or conflicting discussions of Judaic-based gender and codes of male behavior. By focusing alternately on non-Jewish and Jewish writers, Davison explores how the racial/gender construct of "the feminized Jew" was pivotal to each in negotiating male-selfhood during his encounter with modernity. The study engages these issues during the Dreyfus era, within early Zionism, and in post-war High Modernism. In a final chapter on Roth, Davison explores how the author’s postmodernism remains tethered to Jewish history, liberalism, gender, and Judaic concepts.

James Joyce, Ulysses, and the Construction of Jewish Identity

Representations of ‘the Jew’ have long been a topic of interest in Joyce studies. Neil Davison argues that Joyce’s lifelong encounter with pseudo-scientific, religious and political discourse about ‘the Jew’ forms a unifying component of his career. Davison offers new biographical material, and presents a detailed reading of Ulysses showing how Joyce draws on Christian folklore, Dreyfus Affair propaganda, Sinn Fein politics, and theories of Jewish sexual perversion and financial conspiracy. Throughout, Joyce confronts the controversy of ‘race’, the psychology of internalised stereotype, and the contradictions of fin-de-siècle anti-Semitism.
Popular Christian expressions like 'walking in the Spirit' or living in 'resurrection life' can often appear shallow without practical application to business ministry and organisational leadership.This book plumbs new depths in the necessary foundations for leadership and for aspiring leaders in business, ministry and media. It explores how leaders manage the necessary call to action in emerging from the shallow dimension of a Secular Age.Prepare to discover the source of inspiration for new strategies empowering the resources already in your hand to engage in the public battle for hearts and minds.Uncovering the riches of biblical 'transcendence' unlocks the power that reshapes human desires.Only a change of season can reverse the encroaching secularization that marginalises faith and threatens to trap even unwary Christians in a secular dimension.Public Christians in a Secular Age introduces the idea that the future of faith requires Christians in business, ministry and media not to be'secular' but to reimagine life and activity according to a higher purpose.The environment we create, the products of our work, and the leaders we raise up, may be more powerful than we ever imagined.
As millions of young men marched off to war, they left behind mothers, wives, sisters, and sweethearts who were determined to contribute to the British cause. Women enrolled as nurses to treat wounded soldiers, and over 700,000 became workers in factories making munitions. Women also took on hundreds of jobs formerly done by men, such as bus conductors and billposters. Later in the war women were accepted into the armed services, serving behind the lines as auxiliaries. This book looks at the realities and the myths of the role of women in the war effort. Illustrated with archive photographs, this is an ideal introduction for anyone wanting to know more about the vital role played by women in the First World War.
As the world became embroiled in the second global conflagration in just over two decades, the women of Britain once more answered the call of duty. Many of the first volunteers had served in the Great War and now they offered their services again – this time bringing their daughters with them. During World War II women proved themselves indispensable to the war effort, serving in both military units abroad and in home-front organisations through the darkest hours of the Blitz. Illustrated with contemporary black-and-white and some rare colour photographs, documents and ephemera, this poignant and moving book tells the stories of these women.
From gaslit city streets to dark wooded estates, crime was rife in Victorian Britain; through a wide array of historical court records, newspaper accounts and prison books, The Victorian Criminal gives a fascinating overview of those involved in it. Within these pages may be found accounts of petty criminals and poachers, baby farmers and notorious murderers, along with stories of the development of detective forces and forensic techniques. Countless novels, plays and films are testament to an enduring fascination with the dark aspects of the time and place that gave us Sherlock Holmes, Wilkie Collins and the great works of Charles Dickens.
A history of the women who worked the Land and the organisation of the Women's Land Army in the Second World War.When war broke out in 1939, the Women's Land Army (WLA) was already organised and ready for action. Women who had served in the WLA in the First World War returned to service with their daughters, ready to fill in for the male labourers sent abroad to fight: livestock was tended, fields were ploughed, harvests were reaped and everything possible was done to keep Britain self-sufficient. Neil R. Storey and Molly Housego here tell the story of the Women's Land Army – how it was organised, what its members did, what training was provided, and the work of the Timber Corps of the WLA, also known as the 'Lumber Jills'. Colourful illustrations of women at work, their uniforms and insignia bring to life the experiences of the ladies who helped keep Britain fed during the Second World War.
The burden of the Great War was not shouldered by soldiers alone: the tasks, the camaraderie, the day-to-day life and the devastation were all shared with the animals that accompanied the forces abroad. The horses that took part in the last cavalry charges or hauled heavy guns are the most famous examples, but were far from alone: pigeons carried vital messages, dogs sniffed out wounded soldiers, camels were used as beasts of burden in the desert, and even ships’ cats and baby orang-utans had their parts to play. From noted historian Neil R. Storey, this book looks at all the practical ways in which animals were essential to the war effort, but is equally interested in their roles as companions, mascots and morale boosters – on land, in the air and at sea. Neil R. Storey is a social and military historian specialising in the impact of war on society. He has written over twenty-five books, countless articles and has given lectures across the UK, including at the Imperial War Museum. He has acted as a consultant on a number of television documentaries and dramas.
Did you know that in the 17th century Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfinder General, found witches in King's Lynn, Norwich and Great Yarmouth. In 1885 at Norwich Castle gaol an event occurred that was so horrible it blighted the Public Executioner's entire career. In 1813 the executed corpse of Mary Turrell was buried under the road at Harleston with a stake through her heart. In 1805 a runaway wife was traced to Norwich and sold for #5 in the market-place. Neil Storey has collected together a macabre series of stories from over 300 years of Norfolk's gruesome past - including all the above, as well as tales of murder, smuggling, strange deaths, bodysnatching, plague, medical curiosities, public punishments, conspiracies, duels, bizarre disasters - and much more. Presented as an almanac, with one story for every day of the year, the book is illustrated with well-chosen engravings, paintings, photographs and rare documents. Violent, bloodthirsty and horrific, "A Grim Almanac of Norfolk" should appeal to anyone interested in the seamier side of social history.
