Jung, Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, Otto Rank, James Hillman, Erich Fromm, Karen Horney and Susan Isaacs. Each volume is available on its own, as part of a themed mini-set, or as part of a specially-priced 204-volume set. A brochure listing each title in the "International Library of Psychology" series is available upon request.
First published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
When this book was first published in 1996, the pollution of the earth's freshwater habitats was, as it is now, a topic of major concern. This synthesis considers the effects of pollutants on aquatic animals via a series of research and review articles that present experimental evidence of sublethal and lethal effects of a range of toxicants at the physiological, cellular and subcellular levels, and that explore techniques for detection of pollution damage. Topics covered include routes of uptake of toxicants; the effect of acute and chronic exposure to toxic metal ions, particularly zinc, copper and aluminium, with emphasis on the mechanisms of toxicity and responses to chronic exposure to sublethal levels; the impact on fish biology of two chemicals of current concern, nitrites and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, which may act as oestrogenic substances or potent mutagens; and in vitro studies of the mechanisms of toxicity at the cellular and subcellular level, including damage of DNA, using cultured fish cells.
This volume aims to review and present research on acid waters and their effects on aquatic animals. Starting initially with the environment in order to assess why the problems have arisen in particular areas, the volume then deals with field and survival studies on invertebrates and vertebrates and examines the extent of the biological problem and the attempts which have been made to relate water quality and the susceptibility of animals. Major advances in this area have included the realization that declining populations are often the result of acid waters and their interactions with traces of other ions and that these situations produce the most severe physiological problems. The natural progression of environmental and field studies, toxicity and survival tests provide the background information for the physiological studies which follow. These form the major component of the book and they seek to analyse the toxic effects of acid waters and trace metals on acid-base balance, respiration, ionic balance together with cardiovascular and endocrinological effects.

"The Handbook of Transformative Learning"?provides a comprehensive and critical review of more than three decades of theory development, research, and practice in Transformative Learning (TL).?It will help adult educators understand what transformative learning is, distinguish it from other forms of learning, and foster it in their practice. The book covers five broad areas: historical, theoretical, practical, research, and future perspective. It is ? comprehensive, interdisciplinary, critical, reflective, and accessible to a wide audience of interested scholars, students, and practitioners. Co-edited by leading experts in the field with an advisory group of prominent authorities, this handbook is the leading resource for the field.
The Last White Faerie Book I Menace of the Witch Queens Within the forests of the world, there dwell the faeries, the hidden people. Once in a thousand years there is born amongst the faerie people a White Faerie. A White Faerie is a faerie of exceptional power and gifts. A White Faerie comes forth when the world is threatened by insidious evil. These days, the hidden people have receded as the time of Man has come and human civilization has spread and conquered. But the faeries still live in hiding, and evil continues to breed and grow, and against the strength of evil a power must still arise. This is the story of the last White Faerie.
From out of the mists of legend she has come, Morgan le Fay, scourge of King Arthur's court and slayer of the previous White Faerie. Now she has come to our time with vengeance and conquest seemingly on her mind. Only one force can stand against her, Daphne, the last White Faerie. But both champions will come to learn that neither is exactly what the other suspects. Will the ancient sorceress of Camelot become young Daphne's newest ally or her deadliest enemy yet?
Within this volume are nine tales that not only continue the story of Daphne, the last White Faerie, but also broaden the scope and depth of her world. There are tales that take place before you were born as well as contemporary stories of Daphne and her friends that range from humorous to terrifying. Follow a wayward girl as she searches for meaning in her life. Join a hunt for a spectacular creature beyond imagination. Journey back to the days of King Arthur and learn the terrible fate of Daphne's predecessor, the previous White Faerie. Here are stories and songs with faeries of all kinds, along with gnomes, trolls, elves, goblins, nymphs, and witches as well as a comprehensive appendix to the world of Faerie.
As a dark winter of despair seems to close in on the world...Nine-year-old Diana Cerchier has decided to go on an adventure. She wants to follow the brook behind her house back to its source. Inspired by her own spirit of adventure as well as the legends of past explorers who sought the source of the mighty Nile, she begins her quest on a late autumn day. Diana's journey will take her through wonders and perils that reflect an all too fallen humanity that has lost touch with the source and the light. And so as the darkness descends, the last hope for the world lies in one little girl. To save the world, she must find the Source.
