Psychology and the social sciences are in need of a new foundation,
one that provides a better model for understanding complex
behavior. Chaos theory and its newest permutation, complexity
theory, offers an innovative, exciting and potentially
revolutionary leap forward in the evolution of scientific thought.
In Clinical Chaos, therapists and theoreticians from various areas
in the social sciences will explore the relevance and implications
for non-linear dynamics in observing, explaining, and understanding
human behavior. At last, the scientific search can again encompass
surprise, transformation, unpredictability, and pattern. This book
is intended to introduce social scientists to chaos through paths
that are already familiar. By linking chaos theory with existing
psychological theories and established areas of clinical pursuit,
Clinical Chaos emphasizes the relevance of this new science in
providing a more flexible useful model for complexities of life.
The true story of one woman's fight against horse shoes.
Linda Chamberlain feared metal shoes were harming horses. In this light-hearted account she tells how she battled with her farrier, coped with derision from other riders and saved a horse from slaughter.
Mistakes, falls and triumphs are recorded against the background of a divided equine world which was defending the tradition of shoeing...with prosecutions.
Star Pebble is a fast-paced action novel. The action takes place in
the near future, in space colonies orbiting the Earth. It explores
a culture where life is more precious than in Terran cultures and
looks at how this affects the individual lives as well as the
relationships between the characters. It also looks at the very
question of how to define life and what our destiny as sentient
humans might be. Star Pebble is a look at what your future may be
like, sooner than you think.
