Hunger Angel Muller Herta

'I know you'll return.' These are his grandmother's last words to him. Leo has them in his head as he boards the truck to Russia one freezing mid-January morning in 1945. They keep him alive - through hunger, pain, and despair - during his time in the Gulag. And, eventually, they will bring him back home. Muller has distilled Leo's struggle into words of breathtaking intensity that take us on a journey far beyond one man's physical travails and into the depths of the human soul.

Nutrition and Mental Illness Pfeiffer Carl C. Carl C. Pfeiffer

Believing that drugs and psychoanalysis were not always the best course of treatment for a variety of mental illnesses, Dr. Carl Pfeiffer began an extensive program of research into the causes and treatment of mental illness, and in 1973 opened the Brain Bio Center in Princeton, New Jersey. Here, with a team of scientists, he found that many psychological problems can be traced to biochemical imbalances in the body. With these patients, he achieved unprecedented success in treating a wide range of mental problems by adjusting diet and providing specific nutritional supplements for those conditions where deficiences exist. This book documents his approach.Each year, thousands of people are diagnosed as schizophrenic; many more suffer from depression, anxiety, and phobias.Dr. Pfeiffer's methods of treatment presented in Nutrition and Mental Illness are a valuable adjunct

Affective Neuroscience

Some investigators have argued that emotions, especially animal emotions, are illusory concepts outside the realm of scientific inquiry. However, with advances in neurobiology and neuroscience, researchers are demonstrating that this position is wrong as they move closer to a lasting understanding of the biology and psychology of emotion. In Affective Neuroscience, Jaak Panksepp provides the most up-to-date information about the brain-operating systems that organize the fundamental emotional tendencies of all mammals. Presenting complex material in a readable manner, the book offers a comprehensive summary of the fundamental neural sources of human and animal feelings, as well as a conceptual framework for studying emotional systems of the brain. Panksepp approaches emotions from the perspective of basic emotion theory but does not fail to address the complex issues raised by constructionist approaches. These issues include relations to human consciousness and the psychiatric implications of this knowledge.The book includes chapters on sleep and arousal, pleasure and fear systems, the sources of rage and anger, and the neural control of sexuality, as well as the more subtle emotions related to maternal care, social loss, and playfulness. Representing a synthetic integration of vast amounts of neurobehavioural knowledge, including relevant neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurochemistry, this book will be one of the most important contributions to understanding the biology of emotions since Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.

Společnost jako otázka - Hermeneutický pohled na sociologii - Vít Horák

Autor se táže, jak chápat sociologii v současné pozdní době, přičemž se nepřiklání ani k postmodernímu relativismu, ani k obhajobě vědeckého charakteru sociologie. Volí třetí cestu na základě filosofické hermeneutiky H.G. Gadamera se snaží sociologii určit jako humanitní disciplínu. Využívá gadamerovské koncepty jako hermeneutický kruh, dialektiku otázky a odpovědi, sensus communis, tradici, dějinnost rozumění a ukazuje, jakým způsobem se jejich prostřednictvím dá rozumět předmětu sociologie i její epistemologii. Umožňuje tím pochopit, proč současná sociologie tak nutkavě hledá označení soudobé společnosti, proč se stále vyrovnává s vlastní minulostí diskuse o postmoderně, obraty v sociologii a proč se tříští do mnoha drobných témat.Vít Horák je odborným asistentem na Katedře sociologie FF OU v Ostravě. Věnuje se sociologické teorii, filosofickým otázkám spojeným se sociálními a humanitními vědami a v poslední době také symbolům a značkám používaných ve veřejném prostoru. Vyučuje předměty z oblasti soudobé sociologické teorie, sociologie rodiny a sociologie smrti

Pavel Toufar Lokálkou do České Kanady

Českou Kanadou je označována příhraniční oblast mezi Slavonicemi, Novou Bystřicí a Kunžakem směrem na Jindřichův Hradec. Rozkládá se na rozloze zhruba 283 km2, na níž byl v roce 1994 vyhlášen Přírodní park Česká Kanada. Jaro přichází do České Kanady později a naopak podzim se hlásí až příliš brzy. Zimy bývají bohaté na sněhové peřiny, které pokrývají návrší s jehličnatými lesy, střídajícími se s porosty buku lesního. Lesy lákají v létě na úrodu borůvek a od léta do podzimu na bohatství hub. Českou Kanadou procházejí značené turistické cesty a cyklostezky, ale také a především trať známé úzkorozchodné železnice, která vytváří výchozí osu nabízených knižních toulek. Přídavkem je nabídka zajímavého putování podél severní větve úzkokolejky již mimo oblast České Kanady, neméně však pohlednou a zajímavou krajinou. V létě trať protíná rozkvetlé pastviny a lesy, prozářené do opojné vůně slunečními paprsky, které se odrážejí od zrcadel klidné hladiny rybníků, míjí líbezné vesničky i samoty a překonává stoupání ve zvlněném terénu zakončeném panoramatem hraničních hor. Nová kniha známého autora Pavla Toufara je další z nové řady turistických průvodců Toulky, v níž se spojuje rádce na putování často málo známými místy s jejich podmanivou krásou a bohatou historií.

Kryon 11 - Nadzvedání závoje Lee Carroll

Pod slovem apokalypsa si často představujeme něco hrozného – konec světa, zánik lidstva, děs a utrpení. A při pohledu na celosvětové dění by se mohlo zdát, že přesně tam také směřujeme. Tedy alespoň podle toho, co se na nás valí z televize i některých jiných médií – chrlí jednu špatnou zprávu za druhou, zatímco ignorují všechny ty dobré. Apokalypsa však pochází z řečtiny a doslova znamená nadzvedání závoje. A přesně to také nabízí tato kniha.Ještě si někdo myslí, že jsou věci tak jak bývaly? Opravdu se nacházíme na křižovatce civilizace a Kryonova láskyplná a povzbuzující slova nám i tentokrát přinášejí jasnější pochopení skutečného významu aktuálního dění. Kam Země směřuje? Měl být rok 2012 důvodem ke strachu nebo k oslavám? Co je naším skutečným úkolem na Zemi? Naděje pro planetu spočívá v našem vědomí a naší schopnosti vystoupit ze starých předpovědí o zániku a zkáze.Toto je již jedenáctá kniha série a obsahuje zbývající informace, které nám mohl Kryon předat ještě ve staré energii před rokem 2012. Kniha Jedenáct představuje dokončení základů, na kterých můžeme v nové energii začít stavět a tvořit vzrušující novou přítomnost i budoucnost…

Queer Art of Failure Halberstam Paperback

The Queer Art of Failure is about finding alternativesoto conventional understandings of success in a heteronormative, capitalist society; to academic disciplines that confirm what is already known according to approved methods of knowing; and to cultural criticism that has extensively theorized hegemony but paid little attention to counter-hegemony. Judith Halberstam proposes "low theory" as a means of recovering ways of being and forms of knowledge not legitimized by existing systems and institutions. Low theory is derived from eccentric archives. It runs the risk of not being taken seriously. It entails a willingness to fail and to lose one's way. Tacking back and forth between high theory and low theory, high culture and low culture, Halberstam looks for the unexpected and subversive in popular culture, avant-garde performance, and queer art. She pays particular attention to animated children's films, contending that new forms of animation, especially CGI, have generated narratives filled with unexpected encounters between the childish, the transformative, and the queer.Dismantling contemporary logics of success, Halberstam demonstrates that failure sometimes offers more creative, cooperative, and surprising ways of being in the world.
