Pánik - Tények és tévhitek


Szendi Gábor könyve megkísérli eloszlatni azokat a hiedelmeket és hamis mítoszokat, amelyeket a pszichiátria, a gyógyszeripar és a média évtizedek alatt épített fel a pánik körül. Álláspontja szerint a pánik fogalma az idők során elveszítette eredeti tartalmát, s ma már nem több ügyes marketingeszköznél. Sokan vagyunk szemtanúi, rosszabb esetben áldozatai annak, hogyan fokozzák le a szenvedő embereket egyszerű fogyasztókká. A kötet bemutatja annak folyamatát is, hogyan rombolta le mindeközben a pszichiátria önnön pozitív törekvéseit, és távolodott el eredeti céljaitól. SZENDI GÁBOR megközelítésében a pánik nem betegség, csupán az emberi szervezet védekező reakciója, a kialakult körülményekre; evolúciósan jól értelmezhető, természetes életjelenség, amelyet a propaganda tett aránytalanul félelmetessé. A szerző elemzi a pánik kezelésére javasolt módszereket, bemutatja a pánik modern szemléletét, valamint a pszichoterápiás megközelítés lehetőségeit. Hogyan tanuljuk a félelmet, és hogyan győzhetjük le? Hogyan dagadhatnak a problémák hatalmassá, miközben a megoldásukkal küszködünk? Hogyan ismerhetjük fel a pánikkal kapcsolatos tévhiteket, a pánikként félrekezelt kórképeket? Mit tehet a pániktól szenvedő ember a félelmeivel? A szerző szerint a pszichoterápia lényege egy új életszemlélet, a konfliktusok, a problémák újszerű megközelítésének elsajátítása. "A felmérések szerint az emberek 30%-a él át élete során pánikrohamot.... Lehet-e betegség vagy betegségtünet az, ami ennyire gyakori? Nem lehet-e az, hogy itt egy természetes, ősi reakciómódról van szó, ami a pszichiátria malmaiban betegséggé őrlődött? A válasz szerintem egyértelműen igen. Egy természetes emberi reakció betegséggé vált. Persze nem kellemes élmény egy ilyen roham, és ha azt ígéri a pszichiátria, hogy meg tud minket szabadítani tőle, legyen az mégoly ősi és természetes is, persze hogy a legtöbb ember szabadulni szeretne tőle."

Rendszerek jönnek. Elmúlnak?


A vitairatnak is felkínált kötet felvillantja, miképp lehetne átállítani a váltót. A történelem harsányan szólt bele az életembe" - tekint vissza idestova fél évszázados pályafutására Bod Péter Ákos, az 1990-es szabad választások után megalakult Antall-kormány ipari és kereskedelmi minisztere, majd a Magyar Nemzeti Bank elnöke, évtizedek óta szellemi életünk aktív közszereplője. De ha már beleszólt, érteni és hasznosítani kellene az üzeneteit. Különösen azon az útszakaszon, amikor a navigáció géphangja megszólal: újratervezés. A kiváló közgazdász személyes élményeivel színesített eszmetörténeti kalandozásokat kínál az Olvasónak, áttekinti a korábbi krízisek, sokkok, irányváltási kísérletek és rendszerváltozások máig ható tapasztalatait, például azt, hogyan csúszott le az 1990-es években éllovas magyar gazdaság a sereghajtók közé, hogyan szorult a peremvidékre. Bod Péter Ákos megállapítja: az Európai Unióhoz és főleg az európaisághoz a társadalom nagy többsége kötődik, ez pedig lényeges tétel a 2026-tól követendő irányt tekintve is. Majd hozzáteszi: "a parlamenti demokrácia intézményeinek a visszaállítása az alapja mindannak, amit a zsákutcás szakaszból való kijutáshoz meg kell tenni. Bod Péter Ákos portréját Szalmás Krisztina készítette. A borító Földi Andrea munkája.

Hypochondria


Hypochondria proposes a bold reimagining of a frequently dismissed condition. Susannah B. Mintz reframes health anxiety not as a pathology but as a site of creative potential – exploring hypochondria as a form of communication, a reorientation to time, a convergence of personal and communal identity, a declaration of bodymind needs and an embrace of ageing’s transformations. Far-ranging in its attention to historical periods, national literatures, philosophical thought and medical discourse, the book challenges the containment of suffering within narratives of professional authority. In doing so, it seeks to dispel shame and stigma, opening space for new forms of connection and understanding through a deeper attentiveness to the experience of illness.

Citizens into Dishonored Felons


Over the course of its history, the German Empire increasingly withheld basic rights—such as joining the army, holding public office, and even voting—as a form of legal punishment. Dishonored offenders were often stigmatized in both formal and informal ways, as their convictions shaped how they were treated in prisons, their position in the labour market, and their access to rehabilitative resources.  With a focus on Imperial Germany’s criminal policies and their afterlives in the Weimar era, Citizens into Dishonored Felons demonstrates how criminal punishment was never solely a disciplinary measure, but that it reflected a national moral compass that authorities used to dictate the rights to citizenship, honour and trust.

Globalizing Automobilism


Why has “car society” proven so durable, even in the face of mounting environmental and economic crises? In this follow-up to his magisterial Atlantic Automobilism, Gijs Mom traces the global spread of the automobile in the postwar era and investigates why adopting more sustainable forms of mobility has proven so difficult.

Fundamentals of Biological Psychology


This undergraduate biological psychology textbook offers a critical introduction to brain and behavior. Psychology lectures open with 'the brain is the most complex and mysterious object in the universe', only to quickly reduce that complexity by teaching simplified models. This textbook challenges these narratives by focusing on the latest neurotechnological advances, to clarify the limits of current models, and to inspire the development of safe and accessible technologies for human use. Its central aim is to promote critical thinking and inspire students to pose novel research questions that build from current advances. It is an ideal textbook for instructors who are eager to push beyond a conventional introductory curriculum. Beautifully illustrated and full of practical applications, it is accompanied by teaching slides and a test bank.

Arab Philosophical Trends


This book studies the responses of the founders of twentieth-century Arab philosophical schools to the question of (primarily Western) modernisation in the Arab world, particularly to its relationship with Arab heritage. For some intellectuals, there are calls for a new Nahda or Renaissance, for the Arabs to modernise on their own terms within their own heritage, in various forms. Others are more interested in choosing Western modernisation and accepting the inevitable consequences of secularisation.

Mecca in Morocco


This book concerns the ways in which the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, the Hajj, is embedded in Moroccan society. Approaching pilgrimage from the perspective of lived religion, the book seeks to answer the question: How does Hajj feature in the everyday lives of Moroccans and how are Moroccan views on Hajj negotiated in pilgrims’ micro-practices? The red thread that runs through this book is the argument that although the Hajj is performed in a place far away from Morocco, taking Moroccans out of their daily life worlds, the practices, experiences and the meanings that they attach to Hajj are shaped by, and in turn go on to shape, their life and world upon return. The chapters demonstrate - - from different perspectives - how the everyday Moroccan context shapes pilgrims’ perceptions of their experience in Mecca and, in return, how after having completed Hajj they position themselves and are positioned as members of their community. Particularly important are the myriad ways in which the experience of being a ?ajj/ ?ajja shapes their everyday life.

Christian-Muslim Relations in the Aftermath of the Arab Spring


This book uses 'The Innocence of Muslims' controversy as an entry point into the study of relations between Christians and Muslims in Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan. Instead of dismissing the condemnations and joint reactions as shallow and ritualised displays of solidarity, Anna Hager argues that they offer insights into the mechanisms of Christian–Muslim relations. Christians and Muslims, including Islamist figures, channelled the potential violence – turning it into an occasion to strengthen inter-communal relations and, crucially, their own positions.

Categories


In ancient and modern Western thought, the problem of the nature of categories has been inseparable from arguments about the nature of selfhood; about how knowledge is organised; about how power should be distributed; and about how history should be understood. For Plato, Forms belonging to a timeless order of being played the role of categories or fundamental concepts; for Aristotle categories were immanent in things; for Kant they were a priori logical structures of our consciousness; and for Hegel they were dynamic, dialectical inter-related ideas. In Categories, O’Sullivan shows how these answers have gone forward into the contemporary era, and identifies three key schools of thought that have developed since Hegel in particular. He explains modern thought as a tension between a desire for a single dominant perspective, whether scientific or phenomenological; a belief in irretrievable fragmentation; and an effort to find a middle ground.

The War to End All Wars


During World War I, New Jersey played a prominent role in the manufacturing of war-related munitions, created the infrastructure necessary to train and mobilize troops, and supplied a portion of the manpower necessary to fight overseas. Without the support of New Jersey’s industrial base, the war effort of the United States may very well have failed. Contributions from New Jersey ranged from artillery rounds from Amatol, fuses from Bloomfield, shells from Lyndhurst, gun carriages (Singer), aircraft engines (Duesenberg), Handley Page Bombers from Elizabeth, and ship building (New York Shipbuilding and ELCO). Over 140,000 New Jerseyans served during the war, and the state was home to 38 military installations by the end of the war, including Camp Dix. Troops from New Jersey included National Guard units activated and assigned to the 29th Division that trained at Camp McClellan, Alabama, and National Army soldiers (draftee) assigned to the 78th Division that trained at Camp Dix. New Jersey-based units from the 29th and 78th Infantry Divisions would fight in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Women, too, underwent training in New Jersey, in preparation to serve in the Army Signal Corps, while women from the state volunteered to serve with aid organizations including the Red Cross, and raised money for the war effort. In the post-war years, over 160 monuments were constructed across New Jersey to memorialize the war dead and honor the veterans who served in the Great War, including several of the famous “Spirit of the American Doughboy” statues produced by E. M. Viquesney. New Jersey mothers and widows would travel in pilgrimages to the battlefields and cemeteries of France, such as the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, as well as to Brookwood cemetery in Great Britain to visit the graves of their loved ones in the 1930s as part of the Gold Star Mothers and Widows Pilgrimage. This book will for the first time reveal the full extent of New Jersey’s pivotal role in America’s war effort during the Great War, and will shed light on prominent figures and their connections to New Jersey, such as Dr. Fred Albee, the father of bone grafting, Cecil Dorrian, the first American female War Reporter in World War I, Amabel Roberts, the first American nurse from New Jersey to die during the war in France, and Lillian Marx, who danced and sang in Newark during war support donation events.

Becoming Prayer


Inspired by a vivid account of St Francis – where he didn’t merely pray but became prayer – Becoming Prayer introduces readers to the heart of Franciscan spirituality. Drawing on the enduring wisdom of Francis, Clare and generations of Franciscans, including voices like Richard Rohr and Ilia Delio, it offers a rich and accessible introduction to prayer as a way of life. From moments of thanksgiving and praise to silent contemplation, readers will learn how Franciscans aim to pray not just in church, but in every moment. Simon Cocksedge and Nicholas Alan Worssam explore communal practices such as the Daily Office and Eucharist, and delve into prayer rooted in Scripture – through the Passion, the Stations of the Cross, and the Rosary. They also embrace the stillness of solitude: night time reflection, silence and the Jesus Prayer. Rooted in a tradition that speaks powerfully to today’s world, and published in a milestone year for Franciscans globally, this is an invitation to an ancient yet ever-renewing journey of prayer.

Protestantism, Revolution and Scottish Political Thought


During the Scottish Revolution (1637-1651), royalists and Covenanters appealed to Scottish law, custom and traditional views on kingship to debate the limits of King Charles I’s authority. But they also engaged with the political ideas of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Protestant and Catholic intellectuals beyond the British Isles. This book explores the under-examined European context for Scottish political thought by analysing how royalists and Covenanters adapted Lutheran, Calvinist, and Catholic political ideas to their own debates about church and state. In doing so, it argues that Scots advanced languages of political legitimacy to help solve a crisis about the doctrines, ceremonies and polity of their national church. It therefore reinserts the importance of ecclesiology to the development of early modern political theory.

Child and Adolescent Development


Only when we fully appreciate the origins and foundations of child and adolescent behaviors will we succeed in uncovering why they do what they do. By emphasizing evolutionary viewpoints of human psychological development, this textbook explains the fundamental underpinnings of young minds and how they grow. New chapters on the biological basis and cultural context of development introduce students to dynamic new debates in the field. The integrative, topical approach incorporates the perspectives that guide today's practitioners and gives students a holistic and up-to-date understanding of development. Box features highlight key debates, Section Reviews reinforce essential points, and “Ask Yourself” questions and end-of-chapter exercises encourage engagement and extend learning, supporting and enhancing student understanding. Revised and updated throughout, this comprehensive, topical textbook uniquely integrates the central themes of modern developmental theory – developmental contextualism, sociocultural perspective, and evolutionary theory – in a strong, theoretical introduction to child and adolescent development.

Breaking, not Broken


How have inherited and contemporary notions of perfection distorted our theology and the way in which we have expressed and lived out our fait? reaking, not Broken exposes how Western Christianity, post-Constantine, assimilated a Greco-Roman ideal of the flawless body as its anthropology and built its theology, architecture, and memory around it. Against this ableist inheritance, Timothy Goode offers a radical alternative: a return to a risen body anthropology grounded in the wounded yet glorified body of Christ. Drawing deeply on disability and liberation theology, critical heritage studies, and his own lived experience of disability, Timothy Goode reframes how the Church understands the body, healing, time and space. Here, disabled lives are not marginal but central: living archives of God’s story, prophetic voices that disrupt and renew, and bearers of hope for a more just ecclesiology. Written with theological depth and human honesty, this book bridges scholarship and practice, inviting the Church to rediscover its true heritage not in monuments of stone or ideals of perfection, but in the scars of resurrection and the grace of embodied diversity.
