Everybody Needs Beauty - In Search of the Nature Cure (Hardcover): Samantha Walton Everybody Needs Beauty - In Search of the Nature Cure (Hardcover)
Samantha Walton
R504 Discovery Miles 5 040 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

'Beautifully written, intimate and intellectually fascinating' Nathan Filer 'This book represents, genuinely, a moment of ground-breaking importance for how we think about nature, access and wellbeing in late capitalism' Dr Alice Tarbuck 'Impeccably researched . . . A call to us all to find a place within the simplicity and complexity of nature' Lara Maiklem, bestselling author of Mudlarking Everybody is talking about the healing properties of nature. Hospitals are being retrofitted with gardens, and forests reimagined as wellbeing centres. On the Shetland Islands, it is possible to walk into a doctor's surgery with anxiety or depression, and walk out with a prescription for nature. Where has this come from, and what does 'going to nature' mean? Where is it - at the end of a garden, beyond the tarmac fringes of a city, at the summit of a mountain? Drawing on history, science, literature and art, Samantha Walton shows that the nature cure has deep roots - but, as we face an unprecedented crisis of mental health, social injustice and environmental devastation, the search for it is more urgent now than ever. Everybody Needs Beauty engages seriously with the connection between nature and health, while scrutinising the harmful trends of a wellness industry that seeks to exploit our relationship with the natural world. In doing so, this book explores how the nature cure might lead us towards a more just and radical way of life: a real means of recovery, for people, society and nature.

Your Brain on Food - How Chemicals Control Your Thoughts and Feelings (Hardcover, 3rd Revised edition): Gary L. Wenk Your Brain on Food - How Chemicals Control Your Thoughts and Feelings (Hardcover, 3rd Revised edition)
Gary L. Wenk

An internationally renowned neuroscientist, Dr. Wenk has been educating college and medical students about the brain and lecturing around the world for more than forty years. He has published over three hundred publications on the effects of drugs upon the brain. This essential book vividly demonstrates how a little knowledge about the foods and drugs we eat can teach us a lot about how our brain functions. The information is presented in an irreverent and non-judgmental manner that makes it highly accessible to high school teenagers, inquisitive college students and worried parents. Dr. Wenk has skillfully blended the highest scholarly standards with illuminating insights, gentle humor and welcome simplicity. The intersection between brain science, drugs, food and our cultural and religious traditions is plainly illustrated in an entirely new light. Wenk tackles fundamental questions, including: * Why do you wake up tired from a good long sleep and why does your sleepy brain crave coffee and donuts? * How can understanding a voodoo curse explain why it is so hard to stop smoking? * Why is a vegetarian or gluten-free diet not always the healthier option for the brain? * How can liposuction improve brain function? * What is the connection between nature's hallucinogens and religiosity? * Why does marijuana impair your memory now but protect your memory later in life? * Why do some foods produce nightmares? * What are the effects of diet and obesity upon the brains of infants and children? * Are some foods better to eat after traumatic brain injury?

Have you ever said goodbye to someone, only to discover that you're both walking in the same direction? Or had your next thought fly out of your brain in the middle of a presentation? Or accidentally liked an old photo on someone's Instagram or Facebook, thus revealing yourself to be a creepy social media stalker? Melissa Dahl, New York magazine's "Science of Us" editor, has experienced all of those awkward situations, and many more. Now she offers a thoughtful, original take on what it really means to feel awkward. She invites you to follow her into all sorts of mortifying moments, drawing on personal experience and in-depth psychological research to answer questions you've probably pondered at some point, such as: * Why are situations without clear rules most likely to turn awkward? * Are people really judging us as harshly as we think they are? * Does anyone ever truly outgrow their awkward teenage self? If you can learn to tolerate life's most awkward situations -- networking, difficult conversations, hearing the sound of your own terrible voice -- your awkwardness can be a secret weapon to making better, more memorable impressions. When everyone else is pretending to have it under control, you can be a little braver and grow a little bigger.

Die folgenden BHitter enthalten eine Reihe von Gedanken, die sich mir bei einer von frtihester J ugend bis auf den heutigen Tag erstreckten Beschaftigung mit Musik auf gedrangt haben, einer Beschaftigung, die zwar keine berufs maBige gewesen ist, der aber doch in meiner ganzen Lebens ftihrung ein erheblicher Raum gegonnt war. Der AnlaB, solchen Gedanken ernsthafter nachzugehen, war tir mich schon dadurch gegeben, daB die der Musik entstammenden Eindrticke zu den hochsten Gemtitswerten gehoren, die mir das Leben tiberhaupt gewahrt hat. Dazu kam, daB die sich hier bietenden Erwagungen aufs engste mit Fragen der Sinnesphysiologie und der Psychologie zusammenhangen, mit denen mich zu 1;Jefassen ich durch andere Umstande ver anlaBt war. - Die groBe Zahl derer, die der Musik ein warmes und lebhaftes Interesse entgegenbringen, konnte wohl ermutigen, mit solchen Dberlegungen an die Offentlich keit zu treten. So wendet sich dies Schriftchen denn auch nicht bloB an den Musiker von Beruf, an den Psychologen von Fach, sondern an jeden Musikfreund, an aIle, denen die Tonkunst eine Quelle der Freude, Erquickung und Erhebung geworden ist. Freilich hat sich gewiB sehr vielen von ihnen in Stunden besinnlicher Ruhe gleich mir der AnlaB geboten, tiber die Beziehungen der Musik zu allen moglichen Seiten un seres Seelenlebens nachzudenken. Und so laBt sich er warten, daB jeder, der dies Btichlein zur Hand nimmt, der eine hier, der andere dort, manchem begegnen wird, was ihm wohlbekannt ist oder selbstverstandlich dtinkt. Indessen ist doch die Ftille dessen, was tiberhaupt der Psychologie Vorwort."

R1,694 Discovery Miles 16 940 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In der Seele des Menschen liegen zwei Arten der Erkenntnissuche begrundet, das Erkennen durch Begriffsbildung, durch das Suchen nach Gesetzen und Regeln unter Zuhilfenahme von Abstraktionen, Theorien und Hypothesen, und das Erkennen durch unmittelbare Bewusstseinsakte, durch das "Schauen," sei es nun einfaches sinnliches Schauen oder geistige Anschauung, Intuition. Beide Arten der Erkenntnismoglichkeit werden von jedem Menschen un ablassig in Dienst gestellt; aber dem einen Individuum liegt das Erkennen durch Schauen naher, dem anderen das Erkennen durch Begriffsbildung. Das Erkennen durch Schauen hat unzweideutig Beziehungen zur Kunst, das Erkennen durch Begriffsbildung zur Wissenschaft. So hat ein Goethe, als vorzugsweise zum Schauen geborener Mensch, stets eine Abneigung gegen begriffsbildende, zer gliedernde Wissenschaft gehabt; in seiner Farbenlehre ist uns seine aufs Schauen und unmittelbares Erleben eingestellte Erkenntnisweise im Gegensatz zu den analysierenden und begriffsbildenden Bestrebungen der Physik, zu denen er nie ein Verhaltnis gewinnen konnte, besonders deutlich gegeben. Auch die Art, wiE' er auf seiner italienischen Reise seine Eindrucke festhielt, macht seine auf;; Sinnliche, auf Anschauung eingestellte Erkenntnisweise deutlich, und erst in der nachitalieniRchen Zeit, zum TE'il unter dem Einfluss Schillers, wurdE' E'r einem diskursiven Denken geneigter und liess das intuitive Erfassen und Erleben gelegentlich zurucktreten hinter Analysc und Synthese, auch in seiner Arbeit. Sein grosser Zeitgenosse Schiller dagegen, von vornherein mehr zum begrifflichen Erfassen und abstrakten und diskursiven Denken geboren, ist fur uns zum wenigsten ebenso Wissenschaftler, Philosoph, Historiker und Synthetiker wie schauender Kunstler."

Theories, Concepts, and Practice in Social and Behavioral Health provides students with a comprehensive and illuminating overview of key concepts in public health. The opening chapter explores examples of health interventions at different social-ecological levels, beginning in Babylon and working forward across ancient and medieval civilizations. Additional chapters introduce readers to the first modern psychologists, the concept of radical behaviorism, and internal and social forces that influence us. Students learn how we observe, learn, believe, and regulate behavior. They explore social and behavioral health concepts, including fear, control, sovereignty of self, irrational behavior, stress, social networks, social support, and more. Closing chapters address how to improve health in and through organizations, community health assessment and organization, and how to build a better world through improving social structures. Theories, Concepts, and Practice in Social and Behavioral Health is an ideal textbook for courses in health promotion, community health sciences, and public health.

Written by leaders in the addictions field, 100 authors from six countries, this handbook is a thoroughly comprehensive resource. Philosophical and legal issues are addressed, while conceptual underpinnings are provided through explanations of appetitive motivation, incentive sensitization, reward deficiency, and behavioral economics theories. Major clinical and research methods are clearly mapped out (e.g. MRI, behavioral economics, interview assessments, and qualitative approaches), outlining their strengths and weaknesses, giving the reader the tools needed to guide their research and practice aims. The etiology of addiction at various levels of analysis is discussed, including neurobiology, cognition, groups, culture, and environment, which simultaneously lays out the foundations and high-level discourse to serve both novice and expert researchers and clinicians. Importantly, the volume explores the prevention and treatment of such addictions as alcohol, tobacco, novel drugs, food, gambling, sex, work, shopping, the internet, and several seldom-investigated behaviors (e.g. love, tanning, or exercise).

Nachdem ich seit langerer Zeit auf Grund zahlreicher Beobachtungen, die Anfang der 90 er Jahre besonders durch die Studien uber Hysterie von Breuer und Freud gefordert wurden, zu einer bestimmten Methode der Behandlung psychoneurotischer Zustande gekommen bin, mochte ich im folgenden ein objektives Prufungsmaterial und die fur mich daraus resultierenden Auffas sungen veroffentlichen. Als meine Aufgabe betrachte ich es, das Material so wiederzugeben, wie es sich mir dargeboten hat. Nach dem Erlernen der von mir angewendeten Methode wird so eine Nachprufung ermoglicht werden. Ich nenne meine Arbeit "Studien," weil sie keine systematische Darstellung der Psychoneurosen geben will. Eine gewisse Einteilung des Stoffes war im Interesse der Ubersichtlich keit nicht zu umgehen. Die Eigenart der Falle gestattet oft nicht die wichtigsten und interessantesten Beispiele zu zitieren, weil die Wahrung des Berufsgeheim nisses uns eine Reserve auflegt. Die Krankengeschichten, die ich als Belege anfuhre, haben nur insoweit aussere Verschiebungen erlitten, als es notig war, die Patienten vor der Preisgabe des arztlichen Geheimnisses zu schutzen. Auf die Reproduktion einer Anzahl von Krankengeschichten musste ich verzichten, weil Anderungen ohne Entstellungen unmoglich gewesen waren. Einige Kranken geschichten habe ich schon fruher veroffentlicht; ich gebe sie des Zusammen hanges wegen und auch gleichzeitig in der Absicht wieder, um es dem Leser, der solche Falle mit Interesse verfolgt, zu ermoglichen, die Heilresultate weiter zu kontrollieren. Nach reiflicher Uberlegung sehe ich davon ab, in die einzelnen Krankengeschichten Erklarungen einzuschieben."

Wenn Frerichs die Diatetik "den machtigsten, abel' auch leider am wenigsten beachteten Hebel del' arztlichen Technik" nennt, so ist dies heute nicht mehr zutreffend. Die Erkenntnis, daB die Diatetik einer del' hervorragendsten Heilfaktoren ist, hat sich nicht nur bei den Arztell, sondel'll auch im Publikum dank del' Bemiihungen und Forschungen hervorragender medizini- scher Autoritaten Eingang verschafft. Heute kann sich del' Arzt nicht mehr damit begnugen, dem Kranken diese oder jelle Speisen zu verbieten, er muE ihm nahere Angaben uber das machen, was er essen darf und sogar dariiber hinaus, wie die Speisen zubereitet sein sollen. In den groBen Lehrbuchel'll kann trotzdem die Diatetik nul' eine untergeordnete Rolle spieIen. Es liegt daher, wie mir wenigstens erscheint, im Interesse del' Arzte und auch alterer Studierender, sich in eigens der Diatetik gewidmeten, nicht zu umfangreichen Werken orientieren zu konnen. Diesel' Erwagung verdankt das vorliegende Buchlein uber die Diatetik der Stoffwechselkrankheiten seine Elltstehung. Ich habe in ihm verwertet, was sich mil' in langjahriger eigener Praxis als nutzlich erwiesen. Viel verdanke ich dabei meinem lang- jahrigen hochverehrten Lehrer Hermann Senator.

Hi, I'm Tony Weekes. I grew up in East London, the son of a consultant surgeon and a nurse. I have witnessed at first-hand the mental suffering of close family members. In trying to ease their suffering, I have tried, sometimes succeeded, other times failed, to surmount the problems caused by the current care system's serious lack of funding and the resulting lack of cohesion. I am not a professional in the field of mental health, but I could not sit back and do nothing. So I founded Unity, a grassroots movement to revolutionise mental health care in the United Kingdom through education, recognition and intervention. The NHS is a world leader, Unity will also make mental health care here world renowned.
