Banish burnout, worry, and stress once and for all with these
practical tips and strategies for relaxing, going beyond simple
self-care to chill your mind, body, and soul. Women are resilient
leaders driven to achieve but can often feel stressed out. They are
being adversely impacted by the Covid-19 “she-cession” with
less and less women returning to the workforce due to the
multi-faceted responsibilities they face inside and outside of
their homes. And in a world where heart disease is the leading
cause of death for women, they can’t afford to wait to relax.
Author Angela D. Coleman’s prescription in The Art of Chilling
Out for Women teaches women the value of chilling out. Here women
can learn to seek self-awareness, self-love, happiness, peace, and
health. With this essential resource, women will eliminate burnout,
stress, and excessive personal sacrifice with practical tips and
holistic wellness, like creating cleansing spaces and sacred spots,
releasing childhood trauma, establishing boundaries, increasing
compassion and self-love, eliminating doubt, regulating with herbs,
and listening to your physical self, and much more. This book is a
must-have for any woman burdened by taking on the world.
Elegant dining rooms in the nineteenth century served an important
role in the social discourse of the Victorian household. They
tended to be "masculine" spaces and typically were filled with
solid, heavily carved sideboards and tables, and draped with rich,
velvet curtains. Sideboards "groaned" with the weight of opulent
silver serving pieces, set off by the jewel-like tones of colored
art glass vases and bowls. There could never be too many objects;
after all, these were rooms that were meant to impress. So it was
perfectly fine to have silver asparagus tongs or orange slicers,
sitting beside the silver spoon warmer in the shape of a shell.
This richly colorful book is a visual journey through the
nineteenth century dining room. From the sideboard to the tea
table, the serving pieces, silver, glass, and unusual Victorian
oddities are presented. Through over 200 photographs, it becomes
clear why the whimsical, beautiful, and sometimes bizarre products
of that inventive and colorful time continue to astound and
fascinate us. Also included is a facsimile of "How to Set the
Table," a rare booklet from 1901, which will help the reader
understand the variety and uses of the Victorian table setting. A
Value Guide completes the work.
This interdisciplinary volume sheds much needed light on the
relationship between national policies, regional integration
patterns and the wider global setting. It covers regional patterns
in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Individual chapters focus on
topics ranging from industrial or financial policies to social
welfare regimes, as well as broader assessments and comparisons of
regional arrangements in a global context. The chapters point to
the diversity of regional patterns in the world economy and the
continuing importance of national regulatory structures, yet they
also point to the common pressures of globalization felt by all,
especially in the domain of capital markets. With broad coverage
and clear but sophisticated analysis this book will be vital
reading to all those seeking to clarify their understanding of the
contemporary regional/global paradox.

As the world changes rapidly, there exists a challenge to develop
new conceptualizations, paradigms, definitions and strategies for
surviving in an intensely competitive global community. In response
to these changes, helping professionals must expand their knowledge
of therapeutic approaches and re-evaluate their philosophies and
objectives in order to interact effectively with diverse
populations.; Enabling therapists and educators an opportunity to
embrace two modalities at once, this text applies a combined
approach to individual, family and group counselling situations.
The authors contend that the use of artistic expression as an
element of the counselling prescription transcends age, race,
culture and gender in its effectiveness. Hence, art therapy,
blended with and enhanced by traditional psychotherapy, lends
itself naturally to the multifaceted clientele of the 21st
century.; Presented first in this resource is a theoretical
framework for art therapy and psychotherapy, and a thorough review
of the existing literature. The authors then discuss integration of
theory into practice through case studies complete with original
client artwork. The final chapters focus on other important issues,
including ethical and legal considerations, multicultural concerns,
career development, and further implications for the field.
The establishment of good governance is a major challenge for the
developing world, along with the need to sustain the progress
resulting from developmental efforts. Although there are numerous
studies on the development and governance of emerging nations, few
volumes make a serious effort to bring together these two critical
concepts. International Development Governance combines the two
concepts - development and governance - by examining the issues and
problems faced by nations in their attempts to establish
sustainable governance. This textbook also initiates discussions on
the concept of development governance in an international context.
The book fills the gap in existing literature by drawing upon the
experience and expertise of scholars from a broad spectrum of
knowledge. Their views explain the issues and problems with
reference to a number of tools that could establish "development
governance" and sustain it. The text offers in-depth examinations
of developmental sectors, resulting in a textbook that will inspire
future public officials, policy makers, and consultants to
contribute to the betterment of life for citizens of developing
countries.

Life Under the Baobab Tree: Africana Studies and Religion in a
Transitional Age is a compendium of innovating essays meticulously
written by early and later diaspora people of African descent.
Their speech arises from the depth of their experiences under the
Baobab tree and offers to the world voices of resilience,
newness/resurrection, hope, and life. Resolutely journeying on the
trails of their ancestors, they speak about setbacks and
forward-looking movements of liberation, social transformation, and
community formation. The volume is a carefully woven conversation
of intellectual substance and structure across time, space, and
spirituality that is quintessentially “Africana” in its
centering of methodological, theoretical, epistemological, and
hermeneutical complexity that assumes nonlinear and dialogical
approaches to developing liberating epistemologies in the face of
imperialism, colonialism, racism, and religious intolerance. A
critical part of this conversation is a reconceptualization and
reconfiguration of the concept of religion in its colonial and
imperial forms. Life Under the Baobab Tree examines how Africana
peoples understand their corporate experiences of the divine not as
“religion” apart from its intimate connections to social
realities of communal health, economics, culture, politics,
environment, violence, war, and dynamic community belonging. To
that end Afro-Pessimistic formulations of life placed in dialogic
relation Afro-Optimism. Both realities constitute life under the
Baobab tree and represent the sturdiness and variation that anchors
the deep ruptures that have affected Africana life and the creative
responses. The metaphor and substance of the tree resists
reductionist, essentialist, and assured conclusions about the
nature of diasporic lived experiences, both within the continent of
Africa and in the African Diaspora.
We here attempt to give a complete but concise treatment of the
theory of steady viscometric flows of simple (non-Newtonian) fluids
and to use that theory to discuss the design and interpretation of
ex periments. We are able to present the theory with less
mathematical machinery than was used in our original papers, partly
because this Tract has more limited aims than those papers, and
partly because we employ a method, found by Noll and published here
for the first time, for dealing with visco metric flows without the
apparatus of rela tive Cauchy-Green tensors and reduced
constitutive equations. To make the theory accessible to students
not familiar with modern mathematics, we have added to our Tract an
appendix explaining some of the mathe matical concepts essential to
continuum physics. Pittsburgh, July 1965 BERNARD D. COLEMAN HERSHEL

It is during the nineteenth-century, the age of machinery, that we
begin to witness a sustained exploration of the literal and
discursive entanglements of minds, bodies, machines. This book
explores the impact of technology upon conceptions of language,
consciousness, human cognition, and the boundaries between
materialist and esoteric sciences.
This volume brings together a team of leading scholars in Spanish
studies to interrogate the contemporary significance of the
medieval past, offering a counterbalance to intellectual withdrawal
from urgent public debates.
If the idea of the medieval has been widely deployed in the
colonial and neocolonial West as a marker of cultural backwardness,
the Anglo-American perspective has often regarded Spain as part of
a historically underdeveloped world and as a late-comer to
Protestant/Enlightenment traditions of democracy, tolerance, and
progress. Yet the many cultural dimensions of medieval Iberia make
it pressingly relevant to current critiques of western modernity.
This volume, which brings into dialogue historians and literary
scholars in medieval and modern Iberian cultures, interrogates the
contemporary significance of the distant Spanish past, particularly
in regard to tensions in the relationship between the West and
Islam. Rejecting an illusory space of neutrality, the search for
relevance is envisioned as an ethically and politically necessary
form of inquiry.
"Drama and the Sacraments in Sixteenth-Century England" is the
first book-length study of the relationship between early modern
drama and sacramental ritual and theology. The book examines a
range of dramatic forms, including morality plays, Tudor interludes
and the Elizabethan professional stage. Offering new insights into
the religious practices on which early modern subjectivity is
founded, David Coleman both uncovers neglected texts and documents,
and offers radical new ways of reading canonical Renaissance plays.

The global scope of the changes in the international financial and
monetary systems ensured that no nation-state could protect itself
from their effects. The quarter-century, 1970-95, included the most
extensive legislative overhaul of financial services policy since
the Great Depression, if not the greatest set of changes ever. This
book examines how five such states - Canada, France, Germany, UK,
USA - adapted by reforming their financial services policies.
The 39 papers in this collection are devoted mostly to the exact
mathematical analysis of problems in continuum mechanics, but also
to problems of a purely mathematical nature mainly connected to
partial differential equations from continuum physics. All the
papers are dedicated to J. Serrin and were originally published in
the "Archive of Rational Mechanics and Analysis."
This volume collects papers dedicated toWalterNoll on his sixtieth
birthday, January 7, 1985. They first appeared in Volumes 86-97
(1984-1987) of the Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis. At
the request ofthe Editors the list of authors to be invited was
drawn up by B.D. Coleman, M. Feinberg, and J. Serrin. WalterNoll's
influence upon research into the foundations of mechanics and
thermodynamics is plain, everywhere acknowledged. Less obvious is
the wide effect his writings have exerted upon those who apply
mechanics to special problems, but it is witnessed by the now
frequent use of terms, concepts, and styles of argument he
introduced, use sometimes by young engineers who have learnt them
in some recent textbook and hence take them for granted, oftenwith
no idea whence they come. Examples are "objectivity", "material
frame- indifference", "constitutive equation", "reduced form" of
the last-named, "sim- plematerial", "simplesolid", "simplefluid",
"isotropygroup",andtheassociated notations and lines of reasoning.

Learning Civil Procedure provides a broad, student-centered,
user-friendly approach to civil procedure that is both clear and
sophisticated. Students build mastery of the material through the
presentation of examples and analyses. Students then move on to
involved problems similar to what they will encounter on final
examinations, bar examinations, and as lawyers. The book makes
great use of problems to facilitate dialogue in class and
correspondingly uses many fewer case excerpts than does the typical
casebook. Students will emerge as competent and culturally literate
lawyers because the book also includes the core "canon" of civil
procedure opinions as well as sufficient historical background.
Learning Civil Procedure is a book designed by authors who both
teach and litigate, making it the perfect tool for ensuring that
students are ready for the classroom, the bar exam, and real-world
litigation practice.
