This is an exciting and innovative book which provides a thorough
introduction to contemporary social theory by examining the way in
which the widespread existence of violence against women is
explored. A wide range of theories from liberalism to evolutionary
psychology are considered culminating in the development of a
distinctive feminist realist position. The theories discussed are
tested against a large-scale survey, the findings of which
challenge many conventional wisdoms as to the patterning of
violence in contemporary society.
"A classic. Read it. Use it. It can help guide you step by step
into the bright light of the world of recovery." --from the
Foreword by Harry Haroutunian, M.D., Physician Director, Betty Ford
Center "The Recovery Book is the Bible of recovery. Everything you
need to know you will find in here." --Neil Scott, host, Recovery
Coast to Coast radio Hope, support, and a clear road map for people
with drug or alcohol addiction. Announcing a completely revised and
updated second edition of The Recovery Book, the Bible of addiction
recovery. The Recovery Book provides a direct and easy-to-follow
road map to every step in the recovery process, from the momentous
decision to quit to the emotional, physical, and spiritual issues
that arise along the way. Its comprehensive and effective advice
speaks to people with addiction, their loved ones, and addiction
professionals who need a proven, trusted resource and a supportive
voice. The new edition of The Recovery Book features the
revolutionary Recovery Zone System, which divides a life in
recovery into three chronological zones and provides guidance on
exactly what to do in each zone. First is the Red Zone, where the
reader is encouraged to stop everything, activate their recovery
and save their life. Next is the Yellow Zone, where the reader can
begin to rebuild a life that was torn apart by addiction. Finally,
the reader reaches the Green Zone, where he can enjoy a life a
recovery and help others. Readers also learn how to use the
Recovery Zone ReCheck, a simple, yet very effective relapse
prevention tool. The Recovery Zone System works hand-in-hand with
the 12-step philosophy and all other recovery methods. In addition,
The Recovery Book covers new knowledge about addiction mechanisms
and neuroplasticity, explaining how alcohol and drugs alter the
brain. The authors outline a simple daily practice, called TAMERS,
that helps people to use those same processes to "remold their
brains" around recovery, eventually making sobriety a routine way
of life. Written by Al J. Mooney, M.D., a recovery activist who
speaks internationally on recovery, and health journalists
Catherine Dold and Howard Eisenberg, The Recovery Book covers all
the latest in addiction science and recovery methods. In 26
chapters and over 600 pages, The Recovery Book tackles issues such
as: Committing to Recovery: Identifying and accepting the problem;
deciding to get sober. Treatment Options: Extensive information on
all current options, and how to choose a program. AA and other
12-Step Fellowships: How to get involved in a mutual-support group
and what it can do for you. Addiction Science and Neuroplasticity:
How alcohol and drugs alter pathways in the brain, and how to use
the same processes to remold the brain around recovery. Relapse
Prevention: The Recovery Zone ReCheck, a simple new technique to
anticipate and avoid relapses. Rebuilding Your Life: How to handle
relationships, socializing, work, education, and finances. Physical
and Mental Health: Tips for getting healthy; how to handle common
ailments. Pain Control: How to deal with pain in recovery; how to
avoid a relapse if you need pain control for surgery or emergency
care. Family and Friends: How you can help a loved one with
addiction, and how you can help yourself. Raising Substance-Free
Kids: How to "addiction-proof" your child. The Epidemic of
Prescription Drugs: Now a bigger problem than illegal drugs. Dr. Al
J. Mooney has been helping alcoholics and addicts get their lives
back for more than thirty years, using both his professional and
personal experiences at his family's treatment center, Willingway,
and most recently through his work as medical director for The
Healing Place of Wake County (NC), a homeless shelter. The Recovery
Book will help millions gain control of their mind, their body,
their life, and their happiness. www.TheRecoveryBook.com

This body of work represents the first volume of a book series
covering the field of tissue engineering. Tissue engineering, which
refers to a category of therapeutic or diagnostic products and
processes which are based upon a combination of living cells and
biomaterials, was defined as a field only a few years ago (1988).
Tissue engineering is an inherently interdisciplinary field,
combining bioengineering, life sciences and clinical sciences. The
definition of this area of work as the field of tissue engineering
brought together scientists from multiple backgrounds who already
were working toward the achievement of similar goals. Why a book
series exclusively devoted to tissue engineering? The field of
tissue engineering is heterogeneous. The cells involved in tissue
engineering can be autologous, allogeneic or xenogeneic. The
biomaterials utilized can be either naturally occurring, synthetic
or a combination of both. The appli cation of the technology can be
either for acute or permanent purposes. An attempt to cover the
field of tissue engineering in a single volume, with the degree of
detail necessary for individuals with different scientific back
grounds and disciplines, would be a difficult task to accomplish,
particularly when this field is just emerging and changing rapidly.
Therefore, addressing different technologies within the field of
tissue engineering, in a comprehen sive manner, is the main mission
of this series of volumes. A stellar group of scientists has been
brought together to form the editorial board of the series."
By breaking free from our misperceptions about what it means to be
an adult, we can reshape our world and become harbingers of grace.
"In our desire to grow up, mature, become adults, we become
enamored with who we are supposed to be. When we have finally
'grown up' we realize much of who we really are has been left
behind or buried under various masks and roles we play. But the
knowledge of who we truly are never leaves us. To reclaim our
selfhood, we must grow up again and consciously embrace all that it
means to be childlike." —from Chapter 12, "It Takes a Long Time
to Become Young" By restoring the childlike ways of humility,
trust, awe, wonder, playfulness and more, we can recover a fuller
picture of what it means to be human. This unique spiritual
resource explores what Jesus may have meant when he said, "Unless
you change and become like children, you will never enter the
kingdom of heaven." It addresses our modern misperceptions
regarding the nature of maturity and the common coping
mechanisms—distrust, guardedness, insecurity, judgmental
thinking—we acquire, and feel we require, in adulthood. Along
with the wisdom of ancient and modern spiritual luminaries, this
book provides over twenty-five spiritual practices to help us
cultivate the childlike ways of attention, self-awareness, joy and
resilience in our inner lives as well as in our relationships with
others.
There has been much interest given in therapeutic circles to
healing the inner child but little on the meaning and development
of childlike qualities in adulthood. Yet, as Jesus said, "Unless
you change and become like children, you will never enter the
kingdom of heaven."
This unique spiritual resource explores what Jesus may have
meant by these words of counsel, showing that by restoring the
childlike ways of humility, trust, awe, wonder, playfulness and
more, we can recover a fuller picture of what it means to be human.
It addresses our modern misperceptions regarding the nature of
maturity and the common coping mechanisms distrust, guardedness,
insecurity, judgmental thinking we acquire, and feel we require, in
adulthood. It makes clear distinctions between what is childlike
and childish. Along with the wisdom of ancient and modern spiritual
luminaries, this book provides spiritual practices to help readers
cultivate the childlike ways of attention, self-awareness, joy and
resilience in their inner lives as well as in their relationships
with others.
Aimed at individual spiritual seekers as well as personal growth
group settings, this book will help readers reclaim childlike
qualities by resetting their perspective, orientation and vision
for what it means to be in God's grace, the kingdom of heaven, in
the here and now."

A brutal warrior but a gentle father and husband, Chris Kyle led
the life of an American hero. His renowned courage and skill in
military service earned him two nicknames--The Devil among
insurgents and The Legend among his Navy SEAL brethren--but his
impact extended beyond that after he came home from combat and
began working with fellow veterans. Journalist Michael J. Mooney
reveals Kyle's life story, from his Texas childhood up through his
death in February 2013. Mooney interviews those closest to the late
SEAL and also sheds light on the life of the suffering veteran who
killed Kyle. The Life and Legend of Chris Kyle is a candid,
essential portrait of a celebrated warrior--a man about whom a
movie has only added to the legend.
