Emotions of Menace and Enchantment examines four pivotal human
emotions. It explores what defines these emotions, how they
interact, and how they impact the experience of self-boundary. All
four feelings speak to the boundary around the self, to whether we
stiffen that boundary, relax it or worry about its fraying.
Psychoanalysis has looked closely at conflicts that human beings
experience, but has paid relatively less attention to the specific
emotions through which conflict is known and managed. The disgust
emotion is unique in operating like a gatekeeper that manages what
approaches us closely. Disgust appears prominently in our
relationship with the physical world, but surprisingly, is just as
common in the world of politics. It moves people to action,
including deeds of great violence. Horror occurs when we feel
invaded and altered by something that leads to profound insecurity.
Human beings behaving inhumanly is one common source of horror.
While disgust is a moral emotion, horror makes no judgments but
speaks to the misery of being unsafe. Awe opens the self to the
outside world, and creates moments that sustain us through times of
stress. Fascination also involves openness but its characteristic
attitude and attention shows its differences from awe. It forms the
foundation for deep learning. All four emotions find their way into
psychopathology; for example, fascination plays a role in addiction
and awe in masochism and cult formation. Emotions of Menace and
Enchantment will help mental health professionals in
psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, psychiatry and social work to better
parse clinical encounters with the four emotions and to think as
well about defensive patterns aimed at blunting contact with them.
It will engage anyone interested in examining the roles these
emotions play in politics, societal violence, addictions, and
everyday joys and suffering.

Mainly set in remote and isolated northern Canada, this wilderness
adventure is a stand alone book. However, it is also a sequel to
the top selling novel Survival at Starvation Lake and takes up
where the first book left off. Susan, a 24 year old widow and
single mother was facing a big financial problem. She had been on
her own since her husband lost his life five years ago, only months
after her father died. Susan had spent her whole life in the
Canadian bush but the local saw mill had closed. The saw mill's
closing caused the local school to close for lack of students. That
meant Susan would lose custody of her daughter Lilly if they didn't
move to somewhere Lilly could attend school. Susan thought her only
hope to find a job in the middle of a major economic recession was
to move to Sault Ste. Marie. She didn't know anyone there and
lacked the finances for the move. Susan knew she would feel out of
place in the big city and didn't want to move. The move seemed like
her only option, until a mysterious stranger left her a large
financial gift which meant a job wouldn't be essential. This would
allow her to move to the much smaller town of Wawa. The stranger
left a note and a very large check, then disappeared. From the note
it was obvious the woman knew a lot about Susan and Lilly but Susan
couldn't understand how. The lady had signed the note Sally Sinhuna
but the name wasn't familiar to Susan or anyone she asked. Months
later the lives of this stranger and Susan were destined to become
entwined.

find Gramma and how will they get away from the man-eating guards

on a great adventure to save their Gramma and find amazing
surprises.
The topics covered by this pioneering collection of essays range
from peninsular Spanish to Latin American literature, from the
eleventh to the twentieth centuries, and from the subject of women
as portrayed in Hispanic literature to the literature of Hispanic
women writers. Some pieces present polemical feminist arguments,
other are more traditional. All the contributors use their subject
to take new stands on old controversies, ask new questions, and
reevaluate important aspects of Hispanic literature. While there is
ample evidence in these essays of the dual archetype in Hispanic
literature of women as icon and woman as fallen idol, the
collection reaches beyond these stereotypes to more complex
sociological and theoretical concerns. Although such research has
ben abundantly pursued by scholars of English and American
literature, it has been notably absent from Hispanic studies. This
anthology is a comprehensive introduction to its subject and a
stimulus to further work in the area. Contributors: Fernando

When Champ, a German Shepherd, was adopted from a local breed
rescue, his family hoped and expected to spend many fun-filled
years together. However, Champ suffered physically and mentally
from neglect and trauma from his first years of life. Despite
numerous treatments, Champ was never able to overcome that trauma
to become a "normal" dog, and his family made the painful decision
to give him peace through behavior euthanasia. This work serves not
only as an account of Champ's life and his family's attempts to
help him, but also as a resource on behavior euthanasia, which is a
compassionate choice for unmanageable aggression, reactivity, bites
or severe anxiety. Investigating the potential causes of these
issues, chapters examine scientific research on dog behavior and
emotions.
