In all den Jahren in denen ich mit Loslasstechniken, mit befreiendem Atmen, Atemarbeit, Rebirthing, holotropem Atmen (alles passende Namen fur ein und dieselbe Sache) gearbeitet habe, kann ich diejenigen an einer Hand abzahlen, die keine gute Erkenntnis daraus mitnahmen. Eine triste Kindheit, beraubt von der Liebe einer Mutter, fuhrte Sissel Tvedte hinein in ihre innere Welt, die ihre Erkenntnisfahigkeit, ihre besondere Begabungen als eine "Sensitive" entwickelte, besonders durch ihre gesegnete Hellsichtigkeit. In diesem Buch richtet Sissel Tvedte ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf unsere Atmung, die Art und Weise wie wir unsere Lungen gebrauchen, um unseren Blutkreislauf, unsere Gehirnzellen und die Lebensenergie unseres Koerpers wieder aufzufrischen. Aber die Atmung beeinflusst auch unser inneres Wohlbefinden; ein halber Atemzug ist nur ein halbes Leben. Hier geht es um Tieferliegendes, wieder mit unserem gesamthaften Selbst in Verbindung zu treten, was unsere spirituelle Seite und unser "inneres Kind" beinhaltet, damit wir wieder unsere Leben voller leben. Wo Atem ist, dort ist Leben. Wo Krankheit ist, dort kann Heilung stattfinden.

Following her internationally bestselling book The Good Women of China, Xinran has written one of the most powerful accounts of the lives of Chinese women. She has gained entrance to the most pained, secret chambers in the hearts of Chinese mothers--students, successful businesswomen, midwives, peasants--who, whether as a consequence of the single-child policy, destructive age-old traditions, or hideous economic necessity, have given up their daughters. Xinran beautifully portrays the "extra-birth guerrillas" who travel the roads and the railways, evading the system, trying to hold on to more than one baby; naive young girl students who have made life-wrecking mistakes; the "pebble mother" on the banks of the Yangtze River still looking into the depths for her stolen daughter; peasant women rejected by their families because they can't produce a male heir; and Little Snow, the orphaned baby fostered by Xinran but confiscated by the state.
For parents of adopted Chinese children and for the children themselves, this is an indispensable, powerful, and intensely moving book. Message from an Unknown Chinese Mother is powered by love and by heartbreak and will stay with readers long after they have turned the final page.

This is the second volume of an anthology of articles about critical social science. Can critical social science chart a way out of this chaos? Well, no, sadly it cannot. That is a task for the people of the world to accomplish. But perhaps critical social science can come up with the right way of thinking and talking about problems. That way when the social movement is reanimated, it will have at its disposal a ready-made tool for action. The texts in this anthology are a small contribution towards this aim and include: a novel critique of Trumpism; sexual dysfunctions in Iran; a rhetorical analysis of Henry V; Guy Aldred and proletarian atheism; Otto Gross and psychoanalysis; history of football; humour in psychotherapy; and cricket.

This extraordinary book contains the most solid evidence yet seen of a "World shadow government", changing rumour into reality and cause for concern. It's the book "They" most definitely don't want you to read and it keeps its promises with a sharp insight into what's in store. The writer owes no confidentiality to government, commerce, media or military and so may lift the lid.

In 1982 acclaimed Washington Post columnist Colman McCarthy was invited to teach a course on writing at an impoverished public school in Washington, D.C. He responded, "I'd rather teach peace." Thus began the work he has passionately pursued for the past twenty-five years????????????????????????teaching courses on nonviolence, conflict management, and peace studies, to students in a range of schools, from Georgetown University Law Center, to a juvenile prison, and various high schools in between. I'd Rather Teach Peace chronicles one semester in six of these schools, as students find themselves challenged and inspired by an unconventional course and by a man who believes that if we don't teach our children peace someone else will teach them violence.

'I read everything he writes. Every time he writes a book, I read it. Every time he writes an article, I read it . . . he's a national treasure.' Rachel Maddow Patrick Radden Keefe's work has garnered prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize in the UK for his meticulously reported, hypnotically engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker. As Keefe says in his preface: 'They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.' Keefe brilliantly explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant, and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the 'worst of the worst', among other bravura works of literary journalism. The appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event, and collected here for the first time readers can see his work forms an always enthralling but deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up against them.
