Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book takes an innovative approach to using narrative therapy
in counselling people who have been subject to childhood sexual
abuse. Reclaiming Lives from Sexual Violence presents an
illustrative case study of the authors, Tim the therapist in
consultation with Dale the client, who was sexually abused as a
child by a clergy member. The book is unique in documenting their
therapeutic work using transcripts taken directly from their
sessions together. This narrative approach invites the reader to
consider different ways of engaging in therapy in order to
challenge the dominant social discourses around masculinity and
shame. Looking at shame from a position of value awareness rather
than a deficit perspective, this book extends counselling to
consider the individual experience as political and one that must
be shared outside the one-to-one therapy environment. This will be
an essential resource for beginning or established therapists and
practitioners working with clients who have been victims of sexual
violence.

Watch it All, Collect it All, Control it All: In 1791, an
Englishman named Jeremy Bentham designed a new kind of prison. It
enabled a watchman in a central tower to see into every cell, but
the prisoners could not see the watchman and never knew when they
were being watched. Bentham called his building a 'Panopticon',
meaning all-seeing. Today, we don't need special buildings. We have
the ability to make every workplace, every public space, and every
home a Panopticon. On the phone, on the Internet, and whenever we
walk by a security camera, we are being watched. But who is
watching, and why? In a world where everyone is under surveillance,
Jack Stone becomes a Watcher. Assigned to the elite cases, he
Watches live video of US Foreign Service personnel in their own
homes. Soon, the games he sees them playing in their bedrooms turn
violent, and Stone must decide whether to intervene or leave the
victims to their fate. But Stone is also being Watched, and he is
dangerously close to discovering the truth. Can he help the victims
in time? And can he escape before he becomes a victim too? Warning:
For Adults Only. Contains Adult Content (strong language; sex,

Eurhythmics, a dynamic, active approach to teaching and learning
music, was developed by Swiss musician Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. These
complete, sequenced lessons give clear examples of the method in
practice. Ideal for preschool and early elementary music classes,
the lessons include detailed procedures, stories for creative
movement, songs with piano accompaniments, examples for piano
improvisation, and numerous exercises in rhythmic movement.
Romanesque mural painting was arguably the most visible field for
religious images in Western churches between the eleventh and
thirteenth centuries. Beyond its traditional justification as Bible
of the illiterate mural painting demarcated the principal
functional spaces within the church and propagated the sacred
narratives, the systems of belief and institutional politics. The
present volume provides the first accessible collection of essays
devoted exclusively to the contextual interpretation of Romanesque
mural painting. They are offered in homage to Otto Demus, who
established the essential parameters for the field with his
unsurpassed survey of the field over thirty years ago. Presenting
previously unpublished research on individual case studies from
Italy, France and Spain, the collection of essays published here
pursues Demuss premise that mural painting was designed both to
shape the experience and ritual use of distinctive spaces within
the medieval church, and to advertise certain institutional
affiliations and political agendas. The introduction, by Thomas
Dale, provides a methodological overview to the field, assessing
Demuss contribution to the study of Romanesque mural painting and
surveying the scholarship of the past thirty years. It also
furnishes the first overview of primary texts that refer to the
functions and exegesis of mural painting between the tenth and
thirteenth centuries. The ten essays are grouped under four topics:
1. Patterns of Narrative Disposition in Sacred Space 2. Reinforcing
the Praesentia of the Saints: The Church as Locus Sanctus 3. The
Burial Crypt as Mediator between the Living and the Dead,
Terrestrial and Celestial Space 4. Ecclesiastical Politics and
Institutional Identity.

The activities of a young boy on a small farm in the Texas Cross
Timbers during the 1880s seem especially distant today. No one can
remember the adventure of a sixteen-and-a-half-mile journey, which
consumed the greater part of a day; or hurried predawn dressing in
a frosty cold loft while the fragrance of a hearty breakfast wafted
upward through the floor cracks; or a two-room schoolhouse, where
the last half of Friday afternoon was given over to "speaking
pieces" or to spelling and ciphering matches. Through the
recollections of Edward Everett Dale we are able to view a pattern
of life in rural America now gone forever. For The Cross Timbers is
a story which, with but a few minor variations, could have been
told about a vast number of small boys on farms cleared from the
virgin forests in the timbered regions of many states. After
presenting a brief introduction to the members of the Dale family
and the plant, animal, and bird life of the Lower Cross Timbers
countryside, the author describes his boyhood of a past century. He
tells of his home, its furnishings, and the food served there, as
well as the neighbors and relatives who come to visit. We learn of
the superstitions, the humorous homespun expressions, the mores of
early rural Texans. We hunt and fish with young Master Dale in the
thick woods and along the clear creeks. Pioneer life demanded much
hard work, but not to the exclusion of a diverting social life-both
of which included the youngsters, as the author so graphically
relates. Dale tells us also of the religious and secular education
of the era, showing the significance of the home in supplementing
these two influences. Anyone reading this volume must be impressed
by the great differences in the lifeways of rural children today
and of those of the end of the nineteenth century.
