Armenian Genocide: Transmission of Survivors' Experiences to Their Children and the Resultant Psychological Effects a Qualitative Research Study
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 21.44 $This paper will explore whether the Psychological and Emotional trauma experienced by the survivors of the Genocide has been transmitted to their offspring. Discussions include careful examination of the special features of extreme trauma that the survivors experienced and its enduring traces in the psychic structure of the victims that eventually help to explain why many of them consciously or unconsciously transferred their traumatization to their children. The brutality, fear, depression, anxiety, and hopelessness experienced by Genocide victims caused a "survivor syndrome" in these individuals, which was manifested in recurrent nightmares, or reliving of the past in the present (Porter, 1981). Through the children, the survivors attempt to heal and integrate their experiences. It is hoped that increased awareness of these "survivor syndrome" reactions may help therapists and investigators use them preventatively and therapeutically.

The Homeopathic Mind Maps - Remedies of the Plant Kingdom
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 57.89 $In three volumes Alicia lays out the remedies in a visual form that illustrates the unfolding nature of each remedy. The presentation gives a full view of the materia medica at a sweeping glance, and also allows the homeopath to easily follow the development from deepest mental beliefs to the resultant pathology in a flowing, logical pattern. Homeopathic mind maps are not a new idea, however, the form that Alicias mind maps follow is completely unique. It is a stream of consciousness, giving a multi-dimensional view of the remedies which we have never seen before. Whilst very complex for the author to create, they actually transform our view of the individual remedies into lovely simplicity. Whilst Alicias mind map books are written for homeopaths, and are exceptionally useful as teaching resources for materia medica, they are also of interest to the layman. Each book is enriched with history, chemistry, mythology, herbal lore, folklore, etymology, taxonomy and a wealth of other resources that enhance our understanding of the substance. Each mind map is brought to vividly expressive life with an apt photograph. The books are beautifully produced on high quality paper, in glorious colour and with a wire binding that allows the reader to double the book back on itself, making the book very simple to hold and taking up much less room on the desktop. Once you hold these marvellous books in your hands you wont want to put them down again!

Understanding Sustainability Economics
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 60.31 $This highly readable yet challenging book provides a critical examination of the failings of mainstream economics and the resultant environmental problems we are facing. Most importantly, it articulates what an alternative economics for sustainability would look like in both theory and practice. The book provides a brief history of economics and looks at the intersection between politics and the often hidden values embedded in economics. Also covered are the roles of individuals and organizations, political structures and institutions, democracy, environmental decision-making, sustainability assessment and a vision of a future underpinned by sustainability economics. A main point raised is that, in any serious attempt to come to grips with unsustainable trends, fundamental issues such as the theory of science, the role of science in society, paradigms in economics, ideological orientations and institutional arrangements need to be critically examined. The theory is supported by case studies, explanatory figures, further reading sections and discussion questions to facilitate debate and learning.

Not My Daughter: the true story of a former drug trafficker and a landmark surrogacy case
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 30.78 $How To Make a “Parentless” Child: 1. Take an egg from one woman. 2. Add a sperm cell from one man. 3. Combine the two reproductive cells in a test tube. 4. Insert the zygote into the uterus of a second woman to gestate. 5. Wait nine months then hand over the resultant infant to a third woman (my then-wife), who had contracted the gestational surrogate, despite the fact that a second man (me) was in the process of divorcing her. Add to the equation the second man’s past as an international drug-smuggler and convicted trafficker together with the reality that he did not want to become a parent. Now, who is the mother of the child? And who is the father? In the subsequent landmark case involving surrogacy rights, after a California Superior Court Judge ruled that this little girl had no legal parents, an appellate court declared that my ex-wife was the girl’s legal mother and I was the father. My legal obligation is now complete and this is my story of why I have not recognized the young life, created by science and technology and driven by maternal and monetary demand, as my daughter.

More with Less: Disasters in an Era of Diminishing Resources (International Humanitarian Affairs)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 27.27 $Natural and human-made disasters are increasing around the world. Hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, and resultant famine, floods, and armed conflicts are constant reminders of the frailty of our human race. Global warming may cause whole island states to be submerged as the oceans rise. In the past these acute and recurring crises have been met by the international community responding to UN andmedia appeals. The economic collapse of nations is now a reality; some of those most affected had been traditional, generous donors to disaster relief operations. It is unlikely―probably impossible―that they will beable to continue to contribute overseas when their own domestic needs are unmet.A recent New York Times front page report suggested that one of the few domestic issues to have bipartisan support was to cut the foreign aid budget. This book analyzes the global economic forecast and the UnitedNations pattern of philanthropy, provides a case study of how one nation with a tradition of giving will cope in the face of a marked reduction in flexible funds and then provides thoughtful chapters on new approachesto disaster preparedness and disaster response.

Pushkin : Bronze Horseman
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 35.92 $This last and most brilliant narrative poem by Russia's greatest poet, Alexander Pushkin, should form an essential part of all courses in Russian literature. It combines praise of Peter the Great and his city of St Petersburg with a dramatic account of the devastating flood of 1824 and a lowly individual's resultant insanity.

This new student edition includes an interpretative introduction which seeks to accommodate conflicting critical readings, copious linguistic and literary commentary, and a separate short essay on the poem's St Petersburg background.

The First World War as a Clash of Cultures
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 132.51 $This volume of essays examines the perceived rift between the British and German intellectual and cultural traditions before 1914 and how the resultant war of words both reflects and helped determine historical, political, and, ultimately, military events. This vexed symbiosis is traced first through a survey of popular fiction, from alarmist British and German "invasion novels" to the visions of Erskine Childers and Saki and even P.G. Wodehouse; contrastingly, the "mixed-marriage novels" of von Arnim, Spottiswoode, and Wylie are considered. Further topics include D. H. Lawrence's ambivalent relationship with Germany, Carl Sternheim's coded anti-militarism, H. G. Wells's and Kurd Lasswitz's visions of their countries under Martian invasion, Nietzsche as the embodiment of Prussian warmongering, and the rise in Germany of anglophobic, anti-Spencerian evolutionism. Case histories of the positions of German and English academics in regard to the conflict round out the volume. Contributors: Iain Boyd White, Helena Ragg-kirkby, Rhys Williams, Ingo Cornils, Nicholas Martin, Gregory Moore, Stefan Manz, Andreas Huther, Holger Klein Fred Bridgham is Senior Lecturer in the Department of German at the University of Leeds.

The Plans that Failed: An Economic History of East Germany, 1945-1989 (Studies in German History)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 10.25 $The establishment of the Communist social model in one part of Germany was a result of international postwar developments, of the Cold War waged by East and West, and of the resultant partition of Germany. As the author argues, the GDR’s ‘new’ society was deliberately conceived as a counter-model to the liberal and marketregulated system. Although the hopes connected with this alternative system turned out to be misplaced and the planned economy may be thoroughly discredited today, it is important to understand the context in which it developed and failed. This study, a bestseller in its German version, offers an in-depth exploration of the GDR economy’s starting conditions and the obstacles to growth it confronted during the consolidation phase. These factors, however, were not decisive in the GDR’s lack of growth compared to that of the Federal Republic. As this study convincingly shows, it was the economic model that led to failure.

Scenario Planning for Climate Change (Paperback)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 46.49 $Climate change, and the resultant impact on resource management and societal well-being, is one of the greatest challenges facing businesses and their long-term performance. Uncertainty about access to resources, unanticipated weather events, policy changes, rapidly changing market conditions and potential social unrest is felt across all business and industry sectors. This book sets out an engaging step-by-step scenario planning method that executives, board members, managers and consultants can follow to develop a long-term strategy for climate change tailored for their business. Most climate change strategy books focus on climate mitigation, addressing how companies can engage with carbon policy, new technologies, markets and other stakeholders about reducing carbon emissions. This book explores these themes as well as strategizing for climate change adaptation, which is equally important, because organizations cannot negotiate with nature. This book will help you interpret climate science for business in a way that acknowledges the realities of climate change, and help build the skills to identify ways forward that embrace the uncertainty.

Judging Jehovah's Witnesses: Religious Persecution and the Dawn of the Rights Revolution
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 65.08 $Peters (journalism and mass communication, U. of Wisconsin- Madison) depicts how the multiple attacks on Jehovah's Witnesses during the 1930s and 40s (for their unwillingness to salute the flag or enter the military) and the Witnesses' resultant responses in the courts, provided a necessary precursor to the American civil rights movement. He explores the roles of the ACLU and many individual Witnesses to illustrate the politics and personalities behind their efforts to gain 1st Amendment freedoms. Annotation c.

When Johnny Came Sliding Home: The Post-Civil War Baseball Boom, 1865-1870
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 32.09 $As the Civil War ended, the thoughts of many Northern soldiers turned to a game that some had learned about for the first time during the war--baseball. Their newfound interest in the sport, combined with the postwar economic boom and the resultant growth of many cities, took the game from one practiced by a few amateur clubs in New York City before the war to a professional sport covering almost the entire northeastern United States. Researched from primary sources, the game of the late 1860s is described season-by-season: the fields, the crowds, the strategy, the rules, the style of play, and the confusing struggles to crown a national champion, with all the chicanery and machinations of the contenders. Such landmark events as the Washington Nationals' pioneering 1867 tour and the Cincinnati Red Stockings' undefeated 1869 season are covered.

Fundamentals of Quantum Chemistry: Molecular Spectroscopy and Modern Electronic Structure Computations
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 129.65 $As quantum theory enters its second century, it is fitting to examine just how far it has come as a tool for the chemist. Beginning with Max Planck’s agonizing conclusion in 1900 that linked energy emission in discreet bundles to the resultant black-body radiation curve, a body of knowledge has developed with profound consequences in our ability to understand nature. In the early years, quantum theory was the providence of physicists and certain breeds of physical chemists. While physicists honed and refined the theory and studied atoms and their component systems, physical chemists began the foray into the study of larger, molecular systems. Quantum theory predictions of these systems were first verified through experimental spectroscopic studies in the electromagnetic spectrum (microwave, infrared and ultraviolet/visible), and, later, by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Over two generations these studies were hampered by two major drawbacks: lack of resolution of spectroscopic data, and the complexity of calculations. This powerful theory that promised understanding of the fundamental nature of molecules faced formidable challenges. The following example may put things in perspective for today’s chemistry faculty, college seniors or graduate students: As little as 40 years ago, force field calculations on a molecule as simple as ketene was a four to five year dissertation project.
