These poems were all written between 1978 and 1999 - until they
just became so sad as 'psyche' problems - mostly caused by my
'revolving door syndrome - based SOLIDLY on "it is not me - it is
all them others!"' - took over my 'life' while my local Ware Psyche
Social Services desperately tried their best to turn me into just
another 'psyche lifer', incredibly, while I am a FOURFOLD EMERITUS
PROFESSOR! This soon became so severe that I was in psyche
'Godhelpusall' or prison / stir /porridge WITH NO HINT OF A TRIAL
just three mere 'opinions by self-styled "experts in psychiatry"
who rarely even met me before they 'ticked boxes' to 'put me inside
yet again...!!! Never with any ENDING IN SIGHT over and over and
over again - for 16 of my last 26 years 1993-2019 - most peculiar -
I never had any actual 'psyche symptoms' in that whole period,
despite fluent lying by the BIG BROTHER MENTAL HEALTH ACTS
SYSTEM...!!! (especially my hideously neglectful and TOTALLY
ABUSIVE/STIGMATISED IMMEDIATE FAMILY !!)

A healer removes the pain of a broken wrist in fifteen minutes.
Another removes an ovarian tumor in a couple of weeks. Still
another, from thousands of miles away, regenerates the nerves of an
injured spine for a patient on whom the doctors had given up. These
sound like tabloid stories but could they be true? They are just
three out of millions of instances in which healers have claimed to
manipulate energy fields to cure the body.
Books on vibrational medicine, prayer, and spiritual healing
present readers with an array of historical and current discoveries
and techniques. But so far nobody has addressed the reality of
healing through comprehensive scientific research. "The Energy
Healing Experiments" fills that void. Harvard- educated Dr. Gary E.
Schwartz provides scientific experiments and evidence to reveal the
truth about the existence of energy fields and unlocks their
potential for enhancing your health.
The idea that buildings could be used to reform human behaviour and
improve society was fundamental to the 'modernist' architecture and
planning of people like Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier and Jose Luis
Sert in the first half of the 20th century. Their proposals for
functional zoning, multi-level transport, high-rise living, and
machine-inspired aesthetics came under attack from the 1950s
onwards, and many alternative approaches to architecture and
planning emerged. It was thought that the environmental determinist
strand of the discourse was killed off at this time as well. This
book argues that it was not, but on the contrary, that it has
deepened and diversified. Many of the most prominent
architect-planners continue to design with a view to improving the
behaviour of individual people and of society at large. By looking
at - and interviewing - major figures and movements of recent years
in Britain, Europe and America, including Leon Krier, Peter
Eisenman, Andres Duany, Jane Jacobs, Robert Venturi and Denise
Scott Brown, it demonstrates the myriad ways that
architect-planners seek to shape human behaviour through buildings.
In doing so, the book raises awareness of this strand within the
discourse and examines its different purposes and manifestations.
It questions whether it is an ineradicable and beneficial part of
architecture and planning, or a regrettable throwback to a more
authoritarian phase, discusses why is it seldom acknowledged
directly and whether it could be handled more responsibly and with
greater understanding. Richards does not provide any simple
solutions but in conclusion, is critical of architect-planners who
abuse the rhetoric of social reform simply to leverage their
attempts to secure building commissions, while being more
sympathetic towards those who appear to have a sincere desire to
improve society through their buildings.
Presents an overview of what the authors see as the roots of
Western traditional thought: Homer, the tragedians, Plato,
Aristotle, and the Bible. Each section of the book offers lucid
intepretations of a major figure through discussion of seminal
texts.

'A masterpiece' MARTIN AMIS 'The best book about homicide
detectives by an American writer' NORMAN MAILER Based on a year on
the killing streets of Baltimore, David Simon's true crime
masterpiece reveals a city few will ever experience. Day in day out
citizens are shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death. At the centre
of this hurricane of crime is the city's homicide unit, a small
brotherhood of men who fight for whatever justice is possible in a
deadly world.
Challenging existing approaches to autism that limit, and sometimes
damage, the individuals who attract and receive the label, this
book questions the lazy prejudices and assumptions that can
surround autism as a diagnosis in the 21st Century. Arguing that
autism can only be understood through examining 'it' as a socially
or culturally produced phenomenon, the authors offer a critique of
the medical model that has produced a perpetually marginalising
approach to autism, and explain the contradictions and difficulties
inherent in existing attitudes. They examine and dispute the
scientific validity of diagnosis and 'treatment', asking whether
autism actually exists at the biological level, and question the
value of diagnosis in the lives of those labelled with autism. The
book recognises that there are no easy answers but encourages
engagement with these essential questions, and looks towards
service provision and practice that moves beyond a reliance on
all-encompassing labels. This unique contribution to the growing
field of critical autism studies brings together authors from
clinical psychiatry, clinical and community psychology, social
sciences, disability studies, education and cultural studies, as
well as those with personal experiences of autism. It is essential
and challenging reading for anyone with a personal, professional or
academic interest in 'autism'.

During the German advance through Belgium into France in 1940,
Captain de Reixach is shot dead by a sniper. Three witnesses,
involved with him during his lifetime in different capacities - a
distant relative, an orderly and a jockey who had an affair with
his wife - remember him and help the reader piece together the
realities behind the man and his death. A groundbreaking work, for
which Claude Simon devised a prose technique mimicking the mind's
fluid thought processes, The Flanders Road is not only a
masterpiece of stylistic innovation, but also a haunting portrayal
- based on a real-life incident - of the chaos and savagery of war.
Radioaktive und stabile Isotope gehoren zu den wichtigsten
Forschungswerkzeugen der organischen Chemie und der Biochemie. Die
mit ihrer Hilfe in den letzten Jahrzehnten gewonnenen Erkennt-
nisse konnen kaum uberschatzt werden. Aber auch in Zukunft wird die
Isotopen-Anwendung nichts von ihrer Bedeutung verlieren. Von der
Archaologie bis zur Zahnheilkunde gibt es kaum ein natur-
wissenschaftliches bzw. medizinisches Spezialfach, in dem nicht
auch mit Isotopen gearbeitet wird. Solche Arbeiten sind stets mit
Mes- sungen verbunden. Ihre AusfUhrungen entscheiden, ob die groBen
Moglichkeiten der Isotopentechnik zu richtigen oder zu quantitativ
oder gar qualitativ falschen Ergebnissen fuhren. Die Gefahr,
falsche Ergebnisse zu erhalten, ist besonders groB beim Umgang mit
weichen -Strahlern und stabilen Isotopen. Hier beeinfiussen viele
Parameter, die mit dem Isotopengehalt gar nichts zu tun haben, das
MeBergebnis. Entscheidend ist haufig die Praparation der Proben. Ob
sie richtig oder falsch geschehen ist, sieht man dem MeBergebnis
nicht an, zumal ein groBes oder zumindest teures Gerat oft sehr
uberzeugend eine mitunter vielstellige Zahl anzeigt und groBe
Genauigkeit vortauschen kann. Die Problematik der Isotopen-Analyse,
insbesondere die von radioaktiven Isotopen, liegt darin, daB es so
einfach ist, ein MeBgeriit zum Ansprechen zu bringen. Das Buch solI
auch dem weniger Versierten Kriterien fUr die opti- male Auswahl
beim Kauf der meist teuren Gerate an die Hand geben.
Isotopen-Analysen sind nach verschiedenen Prinzipien moglich.
Ad Paria is the seventh and final story in the Quest of Eight saga.
All is revealed in the battle to keep the Kelpies from fully
reuniting and regaining control.
God has 3 answers to prayer: Sometimes he says, "YES." Other times,
he says, "YES, but wait - not right now." And sometimes he says,
"NO." The "YES" may come rather quickly, but the "YES, but wait"
may take months, even years to manifest. How can you tell the
difference between the "YES, but wait" and the "NO?" What do you do
while you are waiting on the answer? How do you know when to stop
praying for something that is not in God's will for you? How do you
respond to a "NO" from God? If you want answers to these questions,
then this book is for you No matter what the answer is to your
prayer, this book will provide hope and encouragement for your
journey. This compact book is the first in a series designed to
educate, encourage and edify believers in the Christian Faith.
Based on a true story, Only Bloody Lovely tells of one family's
experiences of some of Sheffield's history of disasters and the
ensuing impact and distress on the family. During his national
service Harold Kingswood was stationed at Pembroke Dock, a flying
boat station in Wales. At the end of the war he came home to
Sheffield to start his new life as husband and family man. However,
the Hillsborough disaster, the Falklands war, the Sheffield floods
and the Sheffield blitz all tore away the family's 'happy ever
after' dream. But that's just for fairy tales, anyway ...isn't it?
The project of interpreting contemporary forms of punishment means
exploring the social, political, economic, and historical
conditions in the society in which those forms arise. The SAGE
Handbook of Punishment and Society draws together this disparate
and expansive field of punishment and society into one compelling
new volume. Headed by two of the leading scholars in the field,
Jonathan Simon and Richard Sparks have crafted a comprehensive and
definitive resource that illuminates some of the key themes in this
complex area - from historical and prospective issues to penal
trends and related contributions through theory, literature and
philosophy. Incorporating a stellar and international line-up of
contributors the book addresses issues such as: capital punishment,
the civilising process, gender, diversity, inequality, power, human
rights and neoliberalism. This engaging, vibrantly written
collection will be captivating reading for academics and
researchers in criminology, penology, criminal justice, sociology,
cultural studies, philosophy and politics.
