Cognitive Therapy for Psychosis provides clinicians with a
comprehensive cognitive model that can be applied to all patients
with schizophrenia and related disorders in order to aid the
development of a formulation that will incorporate all relevant
factors. It illustrates the process of assessment, formulation and
intervention and highlights potential difficulties arising from
work with patients and how they can be overcome. Experienced
clinicians write assuming no prior knowledge of the area, covering
all of the topics of necessary importance including: * an
introduction to cognitive theory and therapy * difficulties in
engagement and the therapeutic relationship * how best to utilise
homework with people who experience psychosis * relapse prevention
and management. Illustrated by excerpts from therapy sessions, this
book digests scientific evidence and theory but moreover provides
clinicians with essential practical advice about how to best aid
people with psychoses.

Revolt and Reform in Architecture's Academy uniquely addresses the
complicated relationship between architectural education and urban
renewal in the 1960s, which paved the way for what is today known
as public interest design. Through an examination of curricular
reforms at Columbia University's and Yale University's schools of
architecture in the 1960s, this book translates the "urban crisis"
through the experiences of two influential groups of architecture
students, as well as their contributions to design's lexicon. The
book argues that urban renewal and campus expansion half a century
ago recast architectural education at two schools whose host
cities, New York and New Haven, were critical sites for political,
social, and urban upheaval in America. The urban challenges of that
time are the same challenges rapidly growing cities face
today-access, equity, housing, and services. As architects,
architects in training, and architecture students continue to
wrestle with questions surrounding how design may serve a broadly
defined public interest, this book is a timely assessment of the
forces that have shaped the debate.

A growing area in the sharing economy, intentional communities
(co-living, communal living, and cohousing projects) are explored
in this timely survey via architecture, public policy, sociology,
and sustainability. In recent years, the Atlantic, Forbes, Time,
and Curbed have reported on the growth of intentional
communities-collective housing alternatives that initially gained
popularity in the United States in the early 1990s and originated
in Denmark in the 1960s. Featuring fifteen to twenty contemporary
projects that address the challenges and benefits of shared
resources and spaces, Intentional Communities addresses a growing
population: according to the Pew Research Center, nearly one in
three adults in the United States lives in a sharedhousehold. From
Copenhagen to Washington, DC, this survey covers architecture,
public policy, design, lifestyle, culture, and environmental
sustainability.
New essays examining the complex period of rich artistic ferment
that was German literary Expressionism. More than any other
avant-garde movement, German Expressionism captures the aesthetic
revolution of 20th-century modernity in all its contrasts and
conflicts. In continuous eruptions from 1905 to 1925, Expressionism
upset reigningpractices in the arts, most vividly in painting and
the visual arts. In the literature, a heady intellectualism
combined with dramatic gesture, graphic visions, exuberant emotions
and urgent proclamations to forge forceful stylesof verbal
expression. Expressionism introduced into art both visual and
verbal a shockingly new intensity with many facets and many faces.
This volume presents the literature of German Expressionism, which
is far less known in the English-speaking world, with essays by
leading scholars on Expressionism's philosophical origins, its
thematic preoccupations, and its divergent stylistic manifestations
by writers whose common bond is intensity and whose lineson the
page read like the gouges of a woodcut: Georg Kaiser, Walter
Hasenclever, and Ernst Toller in drama; Gottfried Benn, Georg Heym,
Else Lasker-Schuler, and Georg Trakl in poetry; Alfred Doeblin,
Carl Einstein, and Carl Sternheim in prose, to name just a few.
Against the background of the journals, exhibitions, and
anthologies, the cafe meeting places and public life of
Expressionism, the volume's highly focused, intrinsic analyses of
texts and comprehensive overviews of extrinsic contexts (and of the
most up-to-date research) shows the fervor and complexity of the
period and its effulgent literary formations. Neil H. Donahue is
Professor of German and Comparative Literature at Hofstra
University.
Biological evolution is a fact-but the many conflicting theories of
evolution remain controversial even today. When Adaptation and
Natural Selection was first published in 1966, it struck a powerful
blow against those who argued for the concept of group
selection-the idea that evolution acts to select entire species
rather than individuals. Williams's famous work in favor of simple
Darwinism over group selection has become a classic of science
literature, valued for its thorough and convincing argument and its
relevance to many fields outside of biology. Now with a new
foreword by Richard Dawkins, Adaptation and Natural Selection is an
essential text for understanding the nature of scientific debate.
Systems Concepts in Action: A Practitioner's Toolkit explores the
application of systems ideas to investigate, evaluate, and
intervene in complex and messy situations. The text serves as a
field guide, with each chapter representing a method for describing
and analyzing; learning about; or changing and managing a challenge
or set of problems. The book is the first to cover in detail such a
wide range of methods from so many different parts of the systems
field. The book's Introduction gives an overview of systems
thinking, its origins, and its major subfields. In addition, the
introductory text to each of the book's three parts provides
background information on the selected methods. Systems Concepts in
Action may serve as a workbook, offering a selection of tools that
readers can use immediately. The approaches presented can also be
investigated more profoundly, using the recommended readings
provided. While these methods are not intended to serve as
"recipes," they do serve as a menu of options from which to choose.
Readers are invited to combine these instruments in a creative
manner in order to assemble a mix that is appropriate for their own
strategic needs.

Around the turn of the millennium, a young woman with outstanding
academic achievements in science and mathematics applied to study
engineering at a Eu- pean university. She had chosen to study
engineering particularly because of the opportunities she expected
it would give her to make a contribution to the well- ing of
others. It happened that the university engineering department to
which she applied had just been involved in the design of a vehicle
for a world speed record attempt. When the young woman visited the
university for interview this "triumph of technology" was presented
as being a quintessential example of good engine- ing. However,
though it was clear to her that the vehicle was technically ing-
ious, she also recognised that it was of no practical use. She
concluded that she had misunderstood the nature of engineering, and
still wishing to help others she changed her plans and studied
medicine, at which she assuredly excelled. This young woman's
change of career was undoubtedly a specific loss for en- neering.
Additionally, it had a broader, tragic dimension; for her
understanding of the purpose of engineering was more mature than
that of the academics she - countered. Moreover, their imbalanced
prioritisation of technical ingenuity over helping people is not
uncommon within parts of the profession.
In this globetrotting tour of seventeen houses, discover how
bamboo, one of the most sustainable building materials on the
planet, can be used in ingenious ways in residential design. Bamboo
is a perennial grass that grows rapidly and rivals steel, concrete,
and wood in strength. Bamboo Contemporary shows the many ways this
incredible material can be used to build sustainably. Featuring
locales from China to the Czech Republic and the United States, the
survey includes homes built entirely from bamboo as well as
building projects and renovations that use bamboo as the primary
component. Fascinating descriptions, documentary photography, and
architectural drawings will appeal to aspirational lifestyle
readers interested in sustainability and natural materials as well
as design professionals.
Grandmaster Simon Williams was taught the English Opening at the
age of six and 1 c4 was his weapon of choice until long after he
became an International Master. For this new work, he teamed up
with acclaimed theoretician International Master Richard Palliser
to explore his old favourite. 1 c4 remains an excellent choice for
the club and tournament player. This book focuses on the set-up
popularised by the sixth world champion, Mikhail Botvinnik, the
so-called Botvinnik formation with 2 Nc3, 3 g3, 4 Bg2, 5 e4 and 6
Nge2. This system is compact but still aggressive and rewards an
understanding of plans and strategies rather than rote memorisation
of moves. In Opening Repertoire: The Iron English leading chess
authors Simon Williams and Richard Palliser guide the reader
through the complexities of this dynamic variation and carves out a
repertoire for White. They examine all aspects of this highly
complex opening and provide the reader with well-researched, fresh,
and innovative analysis. Each annotated game has valuable lessons
on how to play the opening and contains instructive commentary on
typical middlegame plans. * A dynamic and easy-to-play repertoire
for White * Complete coverage featuring several new ideas * Take
your opponents out of their comfort zone!
Taking a multi-disciplinary perspective, and one grounded in human
rights, Unaccompanied young migrants explores in-depth the journeys
migrant youths take through the UK legal and care systems. Arriving
with little agency, what becomes of these children as they grow and
assume new roles and identities, only to risk losing legal
protection as they reach eighteen? Through international studies
and crucially the voices of the young migrants themselves, the book
examines the narratives they present and the frameworks of culture
and legislation into which they are placed. It challenges existing
policy and questions, from a social justice perspective, what the
treatment of this group tells us about our systems and the cultural
presuppositions on which they depend.

Great passenger ships that never were is a completely revised and
updated version of Damned by Destiny (Teredo Books, 1982), a
comprehensive account of the large passenger ships that, for one
reason or another, never entered commercial service. Some never
made it off the drawing board or out of the model shop, some met
with disaster after launch and some were diverted to wartime
service but didn't survive, never used for their original purpose.
They were all the victims of circumstance, whether due to financial
crises, timing or changing technology. Some of these liners and
cruise vessels may have become the greatest passenger ships ever
achieved. They would have surpassed the most famous, not only in
speed and splendour but in size and appearance, besides setting
trends that were subsequently adopted for ships that did enter
service. With beautiful pictures and detailed diagrams this book is
a true insight into what might have been.
Sacred Knowledge is the first well-documented, sophisticated
account of the effect of psychedelics on biological processes,
human consciousness, and revelatory religious experiences. Based on
nearly three decades of legal research with volunteers, William A.
Richards argues that, if used responsibly and legally, psychedelics
have the potential to assuage suffering and constructively affect
the quality of human life. Richards's analysis contributes to
social and political debates over the responsible integration of
psychedelic substances into modern society. His book serves as an
invaluable resource for readers who, whether spontaneously or with
the facilitation of psychedelics, have encountered meaningful,
inspiring, or even disturbing states of consciousness and seek
clarity about their experiences. Testing the limits of language and
conceptual frameworks, Richards makes the most of experiential
phenomena that stretch our understanding of reality, advancing new
frontiers in the study of belief, spiritual awakening, psychiatric
treatment, and social well-being. His findings enrich humanities
and scientific scholarship, expanding work in philosophy,
anthropology, theology, and religious studies and bringing depth to
research in mental health, psychotherapy, and psychopharmacology.
J. Samuel White & Company was the oldest firm on the Admiralty
List and built 252 ships for the Royal Navy alone. The yard's
closure in 1966 ended 300 years of shipbuilding during which time
the company had gained acclaim from mercantile and naval customers
alike. Famed early on for fast Revenue cutters and naval brigs, in
its final years Royal Navy destroyers earned it great distinction.
Highly innovative, it developed and patented many pioneering
products while other innovations included semi-diesel engines, heat
exchangers, air conditioners and compressors, besides a range of
marine thruster units. Not only did the company build ships and
boats but it also constructed a range of marine aircraft. During
the First World War, White's production accounted for 100 ships,
including twenty-seven destroyers, and 201 seaplanes. Production
during the Second World War added up to 317 ships, among them
twenty-six destroyers and a large minelayer. Illustrated with
photographs of these and many of the company's other products, this
book tells the story of J. Samuel White and its subsidiary
concerns, a business built on a reputation of quality which earned
it the slogan: "White's-built - well-built!".
This anthology of contemporary American poetry, short fiction,
and nonfiction, explores issues of identity, oppression, injustice,
and social change. Living American writers produced each piece
between 1980 and the present; works were selected based on literary
merit and the manner in which they address one or more pressing
social issues.
William Reichard has assembled some of the most respected
literary artists of our time, asking whose voices are ascendant,
whose silenced, and why. The work as a whole reveals shifting
perspectives and the changing role of writing in the social justice
arena over the last few decades.
