Human beings are inherently cultural beings -- growing up in an
environment that is steeped in culture and developing our
self-construal accordingly. The psychology book series Self in
Culture in Mind (SICIM) gathers current research perspectives on
this issue. This second volume in the series offers new theoretical
and methodological frameworks for a deeper understanding of how
self-construal is enabled, influenced and lived in culture. The
book comprises four approaches to basic research, four applied
perspectives, and a meta-theoretical integration. The basic
research approaches highlight the roles of early memories, cultural
artefacts, parents and peers in developing a cultured self, and
examine the relationship between well-being and self-serving bias
across culture; and the applications concern psychopathologys
variation with culture, identity reconstruction after immigration
and gendered violence, and family therapy across cultures. The
integrative chapter identifies different kinds of self-knowledge
captured by the preceding approaches and argues for a dynamic
understanding of self-in-culture.
The HIDDEN ADDICTION Behind Shoplifting and Other Self-defeating
Behaviors is based on the premise that people don’t want to make
their life any harder than it is and that when they are shown who
they really are as individuals and how to easily change their
thinking and beliefs which are false or self-destructive, they can
be guided to significantly alter their life solely on their own
steam. The goal is to strengthen people to be who they want
to be by presenting core issues in life rarely taught at home or in
school in this practical and unique manner.
Featuring the work of Berlin along with images by Tom of Finland,
Robert Mapplethorpe, and Andy Warhol, Peter Berlin: Icon pays
tribute to the man who in the early to mid-1970s revolutionized the
landscape of gay male eroticism and became an international
sensation. His self-portrait photography graced the covers of gay
magazines, and defined a look that re-imagined a new masculinity
among gay men and an emerging gay male culture. Peter Berlin was a
self-created. Tailoring his own clothes to accentuate an already
naturally defined physique, every part of his anatomy became
showcased. Cruising was his career, and with a background in
photography, Peter embarked on recording thousands of
self-portraits. The book is edited by Michael Bullock is a writer
and publisher of BUTT, Pin-Up, Fantastic Man, Gentlewoman, and
Apartamento magazines.
This is a coming of age story from the sixties. Largely based on
letters exchanged between friends in college, the memoir captures
adolescence and enduring friendship through turbulent times.
Berlin offers an in-depth look into all the engineering aspects of
geostationary satellite design, construction, and launch.
Geostationary satellites have opened new doors for the peaceful use
of outer space. From vantage points 22,000 miles above the equator,
they permit people anywhere on land, at sea, or in the air to
communicate with each other, and they provide meteorologists,
geologists, and other scientists with photographs of the earth.
This book gives equal emphasis to the explanation of launch
vehicles, orbital mechanics, the space environment, spacecraft
structures, mechanisms, thermal control, telemetry tracking and
command, communications technology, meterological payloads, product
assurance and testing.
