Art and Social Interaction
This second edition expands upon a program that teaches specially designed interactive visual arts activities to students to then share with individuals in jails, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities, domestic abuse shelters, and youth care centers.Creating expressive art through social interaction with those affected, students are afforded an intimate insight into social issues of our time, such as crime, mental illness, and substance abuse. Techniques and approaches are presented for drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and crafts including projected outcomes and expansive evaluation methods. Updates to the new edition include student reflections on their experiences and the influence upon their careers, and reports from institutional administrators on the effect of the program on clientele.Delivering everything needed to set up the course in any liberal arts college, the book offers approaches for diverse populations covering planning and execution, aesthetic and humanistic objectives, projected outcomes, and methods of evaluation. By adopting this manual, colleges can provide students with education relevant to their lives and potential careers while providing a unique service to social service institutions.
Newport Gardner's Anthem
Newport Gardner's Anthem explores the remarkable life of Occramer Marycoo, an enslaved African who went on to become one of early America's most important Black leaders. In the mid-eighteenth century, Marycoo was taken from West Africa to Newport, Rhode Island, where he was forced into racial bondage and given a name that symbolized the power that his new city and new enslaver held over him: Newport Gardner. In this powerful book, Edward E. Andrews pieces together newspaper articles, church records, letters, and Gardner's own writings to tell the story of his life. After acquiring his freedom via a winning lottery ticket in 1791, Gardner became a kind of Founding Father for Newport's free Black community. He established and led several Black benevolent organizations that helped the community navigate the complicated waters of freedom as Rhode Island slowly began the process of emancipation. He became a popular educator to young Black Newporters, and also emerged as a key religious figure, serving as a long-standing pillar of Newport's First Congregational Church and later founding an independent Black church in the 1820s. His final act was leading a group of about three dozen Black New Englanders to Liberia, in hopes that a new start in Africa would be better than the discrimination they faced in America. A richly textured account, Newport Gardner's Anthem tells the story of a forgotten Black leader while exploring the new, but tragically limited, opportunities for formerly enslaved people in the post-Revolutionary world.
Traumám története
”Képtelen voltam a szüleimnek a támadásról beszélni, hiszen azzal megerősítettem volna az engem ért erőszakot. Így hát az mélyen beleette magát a lelkembe. Átható szégyen kínzott, és úgy éreztem, „rossz vagyok”. Hogy eltávolítsam magamtól ezeket a borzalmas érzéseket, az iskolába és a haza vezető másfél kilométeres úton szorgosan lépegettem át a repedéseket a járdán, mintha ezzel a klasszikus rítussal el tudtam volna hárítani a fenyegetést. És közben folyamatosan imádkoztam, remélve, hogy az Isten megvéd majd egy újabb támadástól. A kezemet a fejemre tettem, ahogy az az ortodox zsidóknál előírás – annak ellenére viselkedtem így, hogy sem apám, sem anyám nem volt vallását gyakorló zsidó. Sőt, amikor apám meglátta, utánozta a mozdulatomat, és kinevetett, én pedig összetörtem ettől a megaláztatástól. Így visszagondolva gyanítom, hogy apám ezzel próbált elrettenteni, és azt hiszem, hogy – legalábbis ő így gondolhatta – igyekezett „megóvni” attól, hogy ezt nyilvánosan is megtegyem, és aztán megvessenek érte. Sajnos nem működött a dolog, minden csak rosszabb lett. Úgy éreztem, apám kigúnyol és megaláz, és teljesen egyedül maradtam a bénító félelem és a szorongás markában.”

„A lélek útjának rendkívüli története a perzselő fájdalomtól az örömig, az önutálattól az önszeretetig” – dr. Máté Gábor
Peter A. Levine úttörő módszere, a Somatic Experiencing alapjaiban változtatta meg azt, ahogyan a traumára és az abból való gyógyulásra tekintünk. Milyen személyes tapasztalatok inspirálták ezt az áttörést és az ötvenévnyi kutatói és gyógyítói munkát?
A világhírű pszichológus bensőséges emlékiratában megrázó őszinteséggel osztja meg saját gyógyulásának történetét, és az utat, mely a Somatic Experiencing módszer megalkotásához vezetett: a vadállatok megfigyeléséből, a klinikai tapasztalatból és a neurobiológiai kutatásokból nyert eredmények forradalmi ötvözését.
Levine életútja inspiráló például szolgálhat mindannyiunk számára, hogy a trauma a testi-lelki egészség elérésének szolgálatába állítható. Mert a traumatikus élményeknek története van, amiket el kell mesélni, hogy tegyünk egy lépést a remény, a méltóság és a teljesség felé.
Britain's Wilderness Frontier
How and with what prospect of success do empires manage their distant lands? In times of relative calm and security these questions hardly arise: in the early eighteenth-century British governments treated their colonies, and their frontiers, with ‘salutary neglect’.By 1748, matters were dramatically different in North America. Settler intrusion into Native American lands, apparently unfettered by provincial governments and encouraged by speculators, alongside perceived French advances, threatened to engulf the whole region in a disastrous war. Quarrelsome colonies proved unable to co-operate in self-defence, forcing ministers to centralise control of Indian and military policy. This programme, undertaken with inadequate resources and in the face of conflicting priorities, undermined colonial autonomy and provoked resistance and resentment.When London attempted to draw a continuous peacetime boundary between settled areas and Indian lands, the resentment became a major cause of the American Revolution. In Britain’s Wilderness Frontier, historian John Oliphant tells the story of how it all fell apart.
Doomsday Torpedoes
In the aftermath of the Second World War relations between the Soviet Union and their former allies in the West quickly soured and developed into the Cold War. The USSR was at a huge disadvantage at sea and sought to redress this balance through the equipping of many of its warships with nuclear weapons ranging from torpedoes to strategic missiles. Doomsday Torpedoes examines the history of these weapons and their live testing during the Cold War.The US Navy maintained a large fleet of aircraft carriers capable of encircling the Soviet Union and delivering airborne nuclear attack from many different directions. The Soviets were in dire need of finding ways to neutralise this threat, preferably with a single powerful blow: torpedoes with nuclear warheads as well as nuclear-tipped anti-ship missiles offered such a capability. Doomsday Torpedoes describes the development and fielding of such weapons by the Soviets and their navy in detail, along with strategic nuclear weapons launched from the sea, primarily submarine launched ballistic missiles. In addition, the Soviet development of submarines, as the primary launch platforms of naval nuclear weapons is examined.The main focus of Doomsday Torpedoes is the time period from 1952 up until the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963. This book examines the events of that era, including those of the Cuban Missile Crisis in which Soviet submarines came close to firing nuclear-armed torpedoes in a chain of events that came extraordinarily close to initiating the Third World War.
Gospel Birth Narratives and Historiography
Scholars today tend to view the birth narratives of Jesus as substantially less reliable than the rest of the canonical Gospel accounts. Indeed, many recent studies of the historical Jesus pass over his birth altogether or provide only scant commentary. A primary reason for this skepticism is intent oriented: ancient birth narratives (so the argument goes) were meant to be legendary, not historical, and so the Gospel birth narratives, too, should be understood as essentially legendary. Caleb Friedeman challenges this skepticism and argues that ancient birth narratives—including the accounts of Matthew and Luke—were intended to be historical. The core argument of Gospel Birth Narratives and Historiography proceeds along three lines: (1) The Gospels are ancient biographies. (2) In ancient biographies, birth narratives were not intended to be legendary but historical. (3) Therefore, the Gospel birth narratives are not intended to be legendary but historical. Part 1 examines birth material in a representative sample of ancient biographies from the works of Cornelius Nepos, Philo of Alexandria, Plutarch, and Suetonius. In each case, Friedeman demonstrates that the writer presents his birth material with historiographic intent (e.g., citing sources, noting differences between sources, evaluating the truth of sources, etc.). To show that the samples are not biased, Friedeman provides a summary chart for each author that details historiographic features in both the birth material and non-birth material of their biographies. Part 2 turns to the Gospel birth narratives to consider how the historiographic nature of birth narratives in ancient biography should shape our reading of Matthew 1–2 and Luke 1–2. The overarching aim of Gospel Birth Narratives and Historiography is not so much to argue that the Gospel birth narratives are historically true as that they are meant to be historically true. Friedeman thus reframes the discussion of Gospel birth narratives and historiography and in so doing opens a previously closed horizon for historical Jesus scholarship.
Lost Abergavenny
Over time, towns and cities evolve and adapt to new technologies and trends. Much of the Monmouthshire town of Abergavenny has changed over the years and in Lost Abergavenny we revisit old streets which no longer stand, schools which are now silent, railway tracks which no longer rattle with trains, the military heritage of its castle, barracks and army camp, shops and businesses which once defined the town, sporting clubs and teams who have played their last, and institutions, events, and characters unique to the town. Filled with a treasure trove of pics and charming anecdotes of times gone by, Lost Abergavenny is a timely reminder in pictures and words of how life once was in this Welsh town.Lost Abergavenny presents a portrait of this corner of the Wales over the last century to recent decades that has radically changed or disappeared today, showing not only industries and buildings that have gone but also people and street scenes, many popular places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating photographic history of lost Abergavenny will appeal to all those who live in the area or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
Churches of Somerset
Somerset is renowned for its churches, many built on the wealth of the wool industry in this area in the Middle Ages. Bath, Glastonbury and Wells were powerful ecclesiastical centres in this period, but there are many fascinating and beautiful churches to be found throughout the county’s towns and villages, whether small and humble, grand or unusual. The churches are to be found in a wide variety of landscapes, from the Mendip and Quantock hills, Exmoor, the Bristol Channel coastline and the edge of Bristol, to the flat marshy areas of the Levels and agricultural river valleys. The distinctive Somerset church towers can be seen throughout the county and often a wealth of mediaeval carving welcomes the visitor. Later buildings from the Georgian and Victorian era show the changing identity of areas where industry developed and population grew into today’s many faces of Somerset.In Churches of Somerset, author Phil Draper explores a cross-section of historical churches throughout the county, both the well known and those waiting to be discovered by a wider audience. This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of Somerset over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting this splendid county in England.
Known Unto God
Why were there so many missing in the First World War? And what happened during the Second World War and in the other wars of the twentieth century? Both world wars produced casualties on an unprecedented scale. The missing were the victims of increasingly mechanised warfare. One minute they were there, the next they had vanished, vaporised by a shell.Known Unto God describes the exhaustive hunt for missing servicemen. It looks at how individual families reacted to the shocking news that their husband, son or brother was missing and how many mothers and wives could never accept the loss of their loved ones.This book reveals the bureaucratic process behind the hunt for the missing and demonstrates how vital information gathered from the Red Cross and other sources was carefully pieced together to discover the fate of these men.Simon Fowler considers the way we memorialise the missing through the Cenotaph, the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, the Menin Gate, Thiepval and many other monuments to the missing across the world.
Folkestone: A Potted History
Although Folkestone was a small fishing village on the English Channel coast for much of its time, it has witnessed many significant events in Britain’s history. The Roman established trade routes from the settlement to the European continent, radiating throughout Britain. Successfully settled by the Saxons in later centuries, Christianity arrived through St Augustine and defences built against Viking invaders. It later became a limb of the Cinque Ports. William the Conqueror gave the manor to one of his supporters, and Folkestone’s strategic position made it a target of other attempted French invasions and defences were strengthened during the threat of invasion by the Spanish Armada and later Napoleon. The coming of the railways transformed the small town into a fashionable resort, but it remained on the front line in the First and Second World Wars. Although the importance of Folkestone’s harbour diminished after the building of the Channel Tunnel, the town is once again enjoying a resurgence in popularity.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Folkestone has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the town.
Belvoir
Belvoir: An Archaeology of Maryland Slavery offers a fascinating account of the Belvoir Quarter for enslaved workers at Belvoir, a 1730's Maryland manor and plantation owned by descendants of Francis Scott Key. Julie M. Schablitsky excavated the brick and stone Belvoir Quarter and found architectural features with layers of artifacts spanning more than eighty years of habitation. Belvoir takes the discovery of the quarter along with its material culture, such as sherds, buttons, tobacco pipe stems, food remains, and spiritual items, and discusses the finds in the context of other similar sites of enslavement.
Empires of Spymasters
‘The Empire is the Master [in the Far East] and they are the guests,’ Yamagata Aritomo, the chief imperial strategist in Tokyo, once remarked.From the early 1900s, Imperial Japan aimed for hegemony in the Far East. During this time, resourceful and independent-minded Japanese spymasters focused on acquiring intelligence of advanced naval and aviation technology.In London, the War Office and the Foreign Office opted for an alliance treaty with Japan. Nonetheless strategists soon realised that Tokyo was antagonizing Britain in the Far East. The British Empire was deemed weak and overextended. Officials believed that avoiding confrontation with Japan was the only choice, and so Britain condoned Japanese aggression in China. Indeed, pro-Japanese bias influenced official policy at the highest levels.Only the spymasters of the Secret Intelligence Service, the Admiralty and the Security Service, recruiting spies across the Far East, were able to reveal Japan’s hostile intent towards the British Empire. In Empires of Spymasters, Panagiotis Dimitrakis tells us how they did it.
Monumental Designs
Established by Congress as part of the New Deal, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) designated parts of seven southern states for economic rehabilitation through various means, including flood control, rural electrification, and social programs. The goal was to deploy federal resources to reshape the region through infrastructure—mainly a network of hydroelectric dams. To garner political and public support, TVA officials mobilized artists. Soon state-sponsored cultural productions emerged, resulting in a body of work comprising an array of mediums. The TVA swayed public opinion and generated positive reviews at the outset because of the vital role that culture played in making public meaning, particularly regarding the near-total transformation of the Tennessee Valley through infrastructural development as part of a larger ideological and economic investment in public works. While the content was geared toward promoting the TVA agenda, aesthetic innovations had a lasting impact, influencing subsequent generations of artists who portrayed the TVA enterprise with complexity, nuance, and depth. At a time when the country is grappling with issues surrounding climate change, fossil fuels consumption, and strip mining, the TVA now struggles to balance its reputation for prosperity and development with public suspicion and skepticism. In Monumental Designs: Infrastructure and the Culture of the Tennessee Valley Authority, author Ted Atkinson presents a cultural history of the TVA that examines representations of the agency in selected works from the New Deal era to the present. With chapters organized according to medium—photography and photobooks, documentary films, New Deal theater, fiction film, and novels—Monumental Designs seeks to illuminate the entwined forms of infrastructural development and cultural production that have made the TVA a source of multivalent power and influence. This examination of cultural history intends to foster critical thinking about how public works can come to be regarded as monumental expressions of national purpose and modern engines of progress defined in terms of perpetual growth and development.
Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy maps out the whole of biblical theologyJ. Gary Millar shows how Moses's sermons in Deuteronomy highlight God's past and future faithfulness for God's people. As the rhetorical climax of the Pentateuch, Deuteronomy calls God's people to choose life in him and believe that he has already given us everything we need. In Deuteronomy, Moses preaches the gospel. The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC) series locates each biblical book within redemptive history and illuminates its unique theological contributions. All EBTC volumes feature informed exegetical treatment of the biblical book and thorough discussion of its most important theological themes in relation to the canon--all in a style that is useful and accessible to students of Scripture.
The Archaeology of Industrial Cheshire in 20 Digs
Cheshire contains some of the earliest inland saltworks, industrial canals, and purpose-built mechanised textile mills in Britain. The region’s industrial story covers 2,000 years from the Romans to the Victorians and beyond. Drawing upon archaeological excavations over the last fifty years, this book looks at the physical remains of Cheshire’s chief industries, salt, textiles, metal working, and transport, from its Roman beginnings to the area’s role as the centre of Britain’s silk industry in the nineteenth century. Michael Nevell describes the excavation of Cheshire’s internationally important industrial archaeology sites showing how this archaeological work has helped the study of not only the salt industries of Nantwich, Middlewich, and Northwich, but Chester’s role as a port, especially in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the Bridgewater Canal, the first long-distance industrial canal, and its port at Runcorn. The area’s largest industry in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, silk and cotton spinning, developed in eastern Cheshire and this area became Britain’s silk-manufacturing centre. The excavation of these textile mills, salt works, and transport networks reveals the impact of industrialisation on the landscape and people of the area, and Cheshire’s important role in the Industrial Revolution.
Age of Deception
At the heart of cybersecurity lies a paradox: Cooperation makes conflict possible. In Age of Deception, Jon R. Lindsay shows that widespread trust in cyberspace enables espionage and subversion. While such acts of secret statecraft have long been part of global politics, digital systems have dramatically expanded their scope and scale. Yet success in secret statecraft hinges less on sophisticated technology than on political context. To make sense of this, Lindsay offers a general theory of intelligence performance - the analogue to military performance in battle - that explains why spies and hackers alike depend on clandestine organizations and vulnerable institutions. Through cases spanning codebreaking at Bletchley Park during WWII to the weaponization of pagers by Israel in 2024, he traces both continuity and change in secret statecraft. Along the way, he explains why popular assumptions about cyber warfare are profoundly misleading. Offense does not simply dominate defense, for example, because the same digital complexity that expands opportunities for deception also creates potential for self-deception and counterdeception. Provocative and persuasive, Age of Deception offers crucial insights into the future of secret statecraft in cyberspace and beyond.
A tigris felébresztése
„A pszichológia hagyományosan a lélekre gyakorolt hatásain keresztül közelíti meg a traumát. Ez a legjobb esetben is csak a történet fele, és messze nem elégséges. Kizárólag akkor leszünk képesek tökéletesen megérteni és feldolgozni a traumát, ha a testet és a lelket együtt, egy egységként kezeljük.”
„Ádáz harcosok, gyengéd gondozók és e kettő között lévő minden egyéb is vagyunk.”
Miért nem traumatizálódnak az állatok annak ellenére, hogy számos, a biztonságukat, életüket, kicsinyeiket fenyegető veszéllyel kell szembenézniük? Azért, mert ösztönösen felszabadítják és használják természetes túlélési energiáikat. Bár ez a képesség bennünk is ott rejlik, mi, racionális emberek sokszor mégsem tudjuk levezetni a veszélyhelyzet elmúltával ezeket az energiákat, amik megrekednek a testünkben, és hosszú távon megbetegíthetnek, megmérgezhetik az életünket, a döntéseinket, a kapcsolatainkat.
A Somatic Expreriencing testfókuszú terápia megteremtője immáron klasszikussá vált művében az idegtudomány, a fiziológia és a pszichológia eredményeinek ötvözésével forradalmasította azt, ahogyan a traumára tekintünk, és a traumafeldolgozás máig érvényes alapjait fektette le. Levine szerint a trauma nem „hiba a rendszerben”, nem örökre szóló ítélet, hanem az élet természetes velejárója, és fizikai és mentális tüneteink számottevően enyhíthetők, ha figyelünk a testünk jelzéseire, és felébresztjük velünk született, ösztönös képességünket a gyógyulásra.
Devil Reads Nietzsche, The
The Devil Reads Nietzsche intends to both excavate Nietzsche and explicate how American culture has selectively adopted and appropriated Nietzschean ideals into its stories, symbols, and practices. To be clear, this project is more than a historical excavation of Nietzsche; it?s primary aim is to disciple readers to engage with cultural ideologies from within the biblical-theological narrative, and an interaction with the grandfather of postmodernism and deconstructionism will serve as a ?case study? of how we might do this charitably, wisely and winsomely.
Waging War and Building Peace
The British economy altered radically between 1934 and 1947. Some of the most dramatic changes were in Wales as its struggling private-sector-led economy was supplanted by one dominated by the state. Initial changes were barely noticeable as pre-war rearmament had little impact on its economy and labour market – yet wartime demands for munitions and raw materials prompted the state to govern an all-encompassing mobilisation that upended its relations with business and eliminated unemployment. New factories employed many thousands of people, agriculture was modernised and metal manufacturing thrived, although coal mining remained mired in crisis. As the war ended, lessons learnt during the conflict helped guide the government as it reconverted the economy to peacetime while retaining a dominant role. This book is the first to fully set out and explore these linkages in Wales between government planning, workplaces and their employees.
