Providing a framework for psychological health treatment similar to
that of a physical injury or illness, Psychological First Aid seeks
to categorize signs and symptoms of psychological illness into
three levels - mild, moderate, and severe - the same way we do with
physical injuries when seeking medical first aid. Using the concept
of the mind-body connection, this book lists integrative treatments
that are effective in the reduction of signs and symptoms of
psychological illness.
'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many
to so few.' The courageous pilots of the Royal Air Force who faced
the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, affectionately known as
'the Few', are rightly hailed as heroes. Recently, efforts have
been made to recognise the thousands who supported RAF operations
behind the scenes. And yet one group remains missing from the
narrative: the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. The Women Behind the
Few explores the Second World War from the perspective of the WAAFs
working behind the scenes to collect and disseminate vital
intelligence - intelligence that resulted in Allied victory. WAAFs
worked within the Dowding System, the world's most sophisticated
air defence network, as well as in the Y Service, intercepting
German communications. Throughout the Blitz, they used radar to aid
Fighter and Bomber Commands in protecting Britain's civilians.
WAAFs also assisted with the Allied offensive bombing campaign and
were behind the discovery of the terrifying German V-weapons. Their
work was critical ahead of the Normandy landings and they were
present in their hundreds at Bletchley Park. In this thrilling
book, Sarah-Louise Miller brings the women of the force back to
life, celebrating their wartime contribution to British military
intelligence. Hidden behind the Few but vital to their success,
WAAFs supplied the RAF with life-saving information. Here, for the
first time, is their story.
This book is designed for upper-division undergraduate and graduate
level archaeology students taking courses in ancient technologies,
archaeological craft production, material culture, the history of
technology, archaeometry, and field methods. This text can also
serve as a general introduction and a reference for archaeologists,
material culture specialists in socio-cultural disciplines, and
engineers/scientists interested in the backgrounds and histories of
their disciplines. The study of ancient technologies, that is, the
ways in which objects and materials were made and used can reveal
insights into economic, social, political, and ritual realms of the
past. This book summarizes the current state of ancient technology
studies by emphasizing methodologies, some major technologies, and
the questions and issues that drive archaeologists in their
consideration of these technologies. It shows the ways that
technology studies can be used by archaeologists working anywhere,
on any type of society and it embraces an orientation toward the
practical, not the philosophical. It compares the range of
pre-industrial technologies, from stone tool production, fiber
crafts, wood and bone working, fired clay crafts, metal production,
and glass manufacture. It includes socially contextualized case
studies, as well as general descriptions of technological
processes. It discusses essential terminology (technology, material
culture, chaine operatoire, etc.), primarily from the perspective
of how these terms are used by archaeologists.

Shortlisted for the HW Fisher Best First Biography Prize 2012 "The
only Western woman to enlist as a soldier in the First World War,
the Englishwoman Flora Sandes became a heroine and a media
sensation when she fought for the Serbian Army and pursued a
distinguished career in its ranks. This account charts her
incredible story: her tomboyish childhood in genteel Victorian
England, her mission to Serbia as a Red Cross volunteer and
subsequent military enrolment, her celebrity lecture tours, her
marriage to a fellow officer, her survival in a Gestapo prison
during the Second World War and her final years in Suffolk. A
fascinating character of her times and an inspiration to women the
world over, Flora Sandes is brought to life and restored to her
rightful place in history by this biography, compiled with the help
of her family, and using hitherto unpublished private papers and
photographs."
