The 5 Biological Laws discovered by Dr. Hamer, they represent a new key of reading and understanding of all the defined processes called pathological. This book, in particular, deals in a very in-depth way the conflicts regarding the inherent conflicts of devaluation of the bones, the muscles and the articulations. A somatic map of reference, with which it is possible to go back in a precise and verifiable way to the bony and muscular pains, is illustrated. Furthermore, they are explained from the point of view of the 5 Biological Laws, most common and diffuse pathologies regarding the osteo-muscular system like: the arthritis, the arthrosis, the osteoporosis, the scoliosis, the herniated disc, the fibromyalgia, the rheumatoid arthritis and the valgus big toe. The book is composed by 2 sections: a first one, from the first to the tenth chapter, illustrates and explains the 5 biological laws, their meaning and what they involve; while from the eleventh to fifteenth chapter the conflicts, concerning the tissues resulted from the mesoderm, bones, muscles and articulations, are dealt. The book does not want to supply only a “prescription pad” of the map of the muscular, bony and articular pains, but it wants to make the reader understand the reason why, how, when and for how long the pains of the muscle-skeletal apparatus last in relation to the personal background. www.5biologicallaws.com

In Healing Night, clinical psychologist Rubin R. Naiman explores sleeping, dreaming, and awakening, going far beyond the science of sleep medicine to reflect on what he believes is the profoundly spiritual nature of night consciousness. Naiman reveals how the erosion of night by artificial light and the devaluation of sleep and dreaming have led to an epidemic of sleep disorders and consequent days of chronically dazed waking consciousness. Drawing on both clinical experience and personal explorations, Naiman offers a fresh look at sleep and dreams, and provides alternative healing practices for sleep disturbances. Moreover, he challenges us to acknowledge our spiritual night blindness and embrace the sacredness of night.This edition was revised in 2009.

Iskandr returns with it's second full-length album entitled "Eurposopon". The album's title expresses the impossibility of the ideal man. However, formulating new concepts of heroism is necessary to preserve ideas of strife and longing in an age of eternal devaluation. The record departs from previous works with more pronounced songwriting, confrontational attitude and triumphant regal flourishes.

According to the tenets of ecofeminism, there are explicit connections between society's treatment of women and the degradation of our environment, connections made apparent in the patriarchal devaluation of both women and nature. In Speaking for Nature, a groundbreaking inquiry into the contributions of early modern English women writers to ecological thought, Sylvia Bowerbank uncovers the historical roots of contemporary debates within ecofeminism as found in the works of such major literary figures as Mary Wroth, Margaret Cavendish, and Mary Wollstonecraft.In early modern England, the entry of women into the politics of nature occurred during a volatile period when the cultural meaning of nature was being destabilized by scientific advances and religious controversies, thus opening up new rights, roles, and responsibilities for women. For the two centuries covered in this book, Bowerbank describes a range of choices made by literary women in negotiating their place within the broader discourse on nature and humanity's changing relationship to it. We learn about Wroth's gendered critique of pastoral fantasies and green utopias, Cavendish's resistance to the philosophy that declared "Great Nature" dead, and Wollstonecraft's opposition to both world capitalism and local subsistence. Anna Seward champions the local as a site of environmental well-being and the eighteenth-century invention of "the study of nature" as a legitimate field of intellectual inquiry. Speaking for Nature explores this rich, diverse, and often contradictory legacy of ecological thought, the value of which is only just being appreciated and evaluated by present-day environmentalists and feminists.

Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy is a collection of essays covering the essential ingredients of depth psychotherapy with youth who have been severely wounded by toxic societal influences including abuse, violence, trauma, poverty, devaluation, traumatic or repeated losses, discrimination of all forms, as well as humiliation resulting from devaluation in its many guises. The subjects are not the kids usually included in studies of evidence-based practices because they are excluded due to co-morbidity or the severity of their conditions. Yet it is a hopeful book that expresses the conviction that healing can take place in the context of a committed, in depth, empathy and relationship-based approach.

Intense attention has been paid to Detroit as a site of urban crisis. This crisis, however, has not only yielded the massive devaluation of real estate that has so often been noted; it has also yielded an explosive production of seemingly valueless urban property that has facilitated the imagination and practice of alternative urbanisms. The first sustained study of Detroit’s alternative urban cultures, The Unreal Estate Guide to Detroit initiates a new focus on Detroit as a site not only of urban crisis but also of urban possibility.The Guide documents art and curatorial practices, community and guerilla gardens, urban farming and forestry, cultural platforms, living archives, evangelical missions, temporary public spaces, intentional communities, furtive monuments, outsider architecture, and other work made possible by the ready availability of urban space in Detroit. The Guide poses these spaces as “unreal estate”: urban territory that has slipped through the free- market economy and entered other regimes of value, other contexts of meaning, and other systems of use. The appropriation of this territory in Detroit, the Guide suggests, offers new perspectives on what a city is and can be, especially in a time of urban crisis.

The devaluation of those perceived as "different" has profound repercussions both for individuals and for society.
