Universal Themes through Young Adult Novels offers readers
opportunities to explore the most common universal themes taught in
secondary English Language Arts classrooms using contemporary young
adult literature. Authors discuss adolescence and adolescent
readers, young adult literature and its possibilities in the

The first book to present mindfulness and yoga-based treatment for
dysregulated, consumption-oriented disorders Mindfulness and
yoga-based approaches as beneficial supplements to traditional
mental health paradigms are well supported by empirical research.
While numerous texts have examined these approaches for treatment
of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, this is the first to
address mindfulness and yoga-based approaches as embodied tools for
reducing dysregulation associated with self-destructive and
consumption-oriented behaviours. Introducing the basic theoretical
foundations, key practices, and comprehensive protocols of
mindfulness and yoga-based approaches for the treatment of
externally oriented behaviours, the text is targeted at mental
health professionals who wish to learn how to incorporate these
techniques into their practice. The book explores the societal
influences that lead to the externally oriented, idealized, and
ultimately self-defeating concept of the individual. It provides
the structure and practical applications for clinicians to help
their clients overcome struggles with externally oriented
behaviours and discover an internal sense of satisfaction and peace
of mind. Tapping into the concept of a ""hungry self"" within the
context of consumerism, the book advocates mindfulness and yoga
approaches as alternate pathways toward a contented, regulated, and
authentic experience of self. It addresses various aspects of the
consumptive self and defines related syndromes such as disordered
eating, compulsive shopping, substance use, and gambling. Creating
a context for using alternative and complementary approaches, the
book describes the challenges of traditional therapies. It then
covers the conceptual aspects of mindfulness and yoga and describes
specific protocols that facilitate behaviours associated a healthy
experience of the self for a variety of disorders. Key Features:
Describes mindfulness and yoga approaches as an effective treatment
for a range of consumption and self-regulation issues-the first
book of its kind Explains how to integrate mindfulness and yoga
with traditional mental health paradigms for maximum benefits
Designed for clinicians with minimal background in yoga or
mindfulness Combines a conceptual overview of embodied
self-regulation with practical techniques Reviews treatment
protocols informed by mindfulness and yoga practices covering their
evidence base and contraindications for use
Organised into 9 parts that highlight a wide range of architectural
motives, such as 'Architecture as Theatre', 'Stretching the
Vocabulary' and 'The City of Large and Small', the workbook
provides inspiring key themes for readers to take their cue from
when initiating a design. Motives cover a wide-range of work that
epitomise the theme. These include historical and Modernist
examples, things observed in the street, work by current innovative
architects and from Cook's own rich archive, weaving together a
rich and vibrant visual scrapbook of the everyday and the
architectural, and past and present.

Approximately eight to twelve million individuals in the United States are affected by peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Thus this disease is common and well represented in nearly all adult medical practices. Peripheral arterial diseases include diverse clinical entities that encompass atherosclerotic, aneurysmal, vasospastic, and inflammatory disorders that affect the arteries. The Peripheral Arterial Disease Handbook presents a unique compendium of evidenced-based and expert approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral arterial diseases, written for all practitioners who care for adults with these disorders. This comprehensive, easy-to-use book presents both epidemiological and pathophysiological data in succinct form, along with a practical clinical review of the diagnosis and treatment of the most important areas of peripheral arterial disease care.
One of the first edited collections devoted exclusively to digital
comics, Perspectives on Digital Comics demonstrates the varied ways
one can read, interpret, view, and use digital comics. These

consumption, digital reproductions of print-comics, and scanned
comics. Written for those who may not be familiar with digital
comics and/or digital comic scholarship, the contributors explore
theories for understanding and reading digital comics, criticism
and analysis of specific digital comic titles, the global reach of
digital comics, and how digital comics can be used in educational
settings.
"World Cinema's 'Dialogues' with Hollywood" looks at the way
Hollywood has interacted with a range of national and transnational
cinemas, from German Expressionism to Bollywood and Chinese film.
While Hollywood has had a profound impact upon the history of the
medium - suggesting that if there is 'dialogue' to be identified it
is one where Hollywood has done all the talking - it is impossible
to understand this history without examining the impact of World
Cinema's economic, aesthetic and political relationship with
Hollywood.
Focusing on the creative and inventive significance of drawing for
architecture, this book by one of its greatest proponents, Peter
Cook, is an established classic. It exudes Cook's delight and
catholic appetite for the architectural. Readers are provided with
perceptive insights at every turn. The book features some of the
greatest and most intriguing drawings by architects, ranging from
Frank Lloyd Wright, Heath-Robinson, Le Corbusier, and Otto Wagner
to Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Arata Isozaki, Eric
Owen Moss, Bernard Tschumi, and Lebbeus Woods; as well as key works
by Cook and other members of the original Archigram group. For this
new edition, Cook provides a substantial new chapter that charts
the speed at which the trajectory of drawing is moving. It reflects
the increasing sophistication of available software and also the
ways in which 'hand drawing' and the 'digital' are being eclipsed
by new hybrids injecting a new momentum to drawing. These
'crossovers' provide a whole new territory as attempts are made to
release drawing from the boundaries of a solitary moment, a
single-viewing position, or a single referential language.
Featuring the likes of Toyo Ito, Perry Culper, Izaskun Chinchilla,
Kenny Tsui, Ali Rahim, John Berglund, and Lorene Faure, it leads to
fascinating insights into the effect that medium has upon intention
and definition of an idea or a place. Is a pencil drawing more
attuned to a certain architecture than an ink drawing, or is a
particular colour evocative of a certain atmosphere? In a world
where a Mayer drawing is creatively contributing something
different from a Rhino drawing, there is much to demand of future
techniques.
This is the first research-based text intended to help teachers and
practitioners implement mindfulness and yoga programs in schools. A

the efficacy of mindfulness and yoga in reducing stress and
conflict and enhancing student engagement to serve as a rationale
for integrating such programs into schools How-to sections for
training, classroom and lesson plan preparation, and implementing
specific techniques and comprehensive programs Photographs,
scripts, and figures to help implement your own programs A tool for
assessing and cultivating teacher and student self-care. Part I

Paul Cooke looks at Hollywood's interaction with national and
transnational cinemas, from German Expressionism to Bollywood and
Chinese film. While Hollywood has had a huge impact on the medium -
doing all the talking in the 'dialogue' - world cinema's economic,
aesthetic and political relationship with Hollywood is of profound
importance.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Spanish authorities
restricted emigration to the Americas to those who could prove they
had been Catholic for at least three generations. In doing so, they
hoped to instill religious orthodoxy in the colonies and believed
Muslim converts, or Moriscos, would hamper efforts to convert
indigenous people to Catholicism. Nevertheless, Moriscos secretly
made the treacherous journey across the ocean, settling in the
forbidden territories and influencing the nature of Spanish
colonialism. Once landed, Morisco men and women struggled to define
and practice their religion or pursue their trades, all while
experiencing increasing anxiety about their place in the emerging
Spanish empire. Many Moriscos were accused by authorities of
descending from Muslims or practicing Islam in secret and turned to
the courts to assert their legitimacy. Forbidden Passages is the
first book to document and evaluate the impact of Moriscos in the
early modern Americas. Through close examination of sources that
few historians have used-some one hundred cases of individuals
brought before the secular, ecclesiastical, and inquisitorial
courts-Karoline P. Cook shows how legislation and attitudes toward
Moriscos in Spain assumed new forms and meanings in colonial
Spanish America. Moriscos became not simply individuals struggling
to join a community that was increasingly hostile to them but also
symbols that sparked authorities' fears about maintaining religious
purity in the face of territorial expansion. Cook reveals how
Morisco emigrants shined a light on the complicated question of
what it meant to be Spanish in the New World.
