In recent years, there have been no books published on paediatric cardiac pathology despite enormous developments in genetics, a marked explosion of paediatric transplant programmes, surges in knowledge of fetal cardiac pathology and understanding of congenital heart disease, and the emergence of a flourishing cardiac imaging discipline. This book will be the first unified and comprehensive source of reference for childhood heart disease, covering the full field of paediatric cardiac pathology, in one volume. Comprising the twenty-five year experience of a single pathologist, the full spectrum of the pathology of heart disease, from the fetus to the adult, is uniquely presented here. Richly illustrated, with over 800 colour photographs, general and paediatric pathologists alike will be able to examine the microscopic features of the conditions described, with a specific focus on metabolic disease for practitioners worldwide.

...the first book to cover the entire spectrum of lesions, focusing on benign, reactive proliferations that may stim- ulate neoplasms in all organ sites...organized by anatomic region and complemented by full-color illustrations.

In this book, psychologists and philosophers describe and discuss a range of case studies of delusional beliefs, drawing out general lessons both for the cognitive architecture of the mind and for the notion of rationality, and exploring connections between the delusional beliefs that occur in schizophrenia and the flawed understanding of beliefs that is characteristic of autism.

Dr. Rajan Sankaran says in his foreword to this book, "This book by Dr Ashok Borkar, his first one, is an important contribution. It highlights the fact that beyond matching the Sensation and the Symptoms of the patient with the remedy, one also has to consider if the Genius matches too. This facilitates healing at the deeper levels and not only relief of symptoms or state of mind."

Many things can wrong on our spiritual journey, and in fact, they are supposed to if we are doing our practices correctly. An odd notion, but one deeply rooted in spiritual traditions including Qabala and Alchemy. For over twenty years the “pathology of the sublime” as some have called it, has been an integral part of the teachings and practices of the Institute for Hermetic Studies Topics covered include: · Why It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better · What's My Motivation? Balancing Service and Positive Self-Interest · Problems With Authority – Invoking Authority Figures to Overcome Them · Nightmares, Night Terrors, and Why You Think You Are Going Crazy and When You Really Are Going Crazy · Spontaneous, and No So Spontaneous Awakenings (Yoga Instructors Take Note) · Hauntings, Paranormal Phenomena, and Obsession, and Possession · Mapping the Energy Flow – Why Tradition is Critical · Keeping It Safe – The Great Marketing Lie of Modern Spirituality · Initiation is Terror, Death, Not for the Weak, and How To Get Over It These teachings are ideal for those practicing or instructing others in yoga, meditation, psychotherapy, shamanism, healing energy modalities, and psychosomatic medicine, as well as psychic investigators. Referencing original research for the Philosophers of Nature (LPN-PON), the Institute for Hermetic Studies, Psychosynthesis, the works of Arthur Guirdham, M.D., M. Scott Peck, M.D., William Gray, Jacques Vallee and others, specific side-effects and pathologies as they relate to the effects of spiritual practices are explored along with why crisis is essential on the spiritual journey.

“A disturbing look at the military state using evidence from committees of the Congress, whistle-blowers, and concerned citizens. . . .A thoughtful and chilling look at Fortress America, its architects and its victims.” ―Kirkus Reviews In this book, a seasoned commentator on world affairs discusses the way power in government becomes enlarged, exploited, and institutionalized―not just as the result of external dangers, real or contrived, but as the result of the way the arms race spills over into and dominates foreign policy. The clandestine operation that led to the Iran-Contra affair, Norman Cousins observes, is a recent example of dangerous trend with its own momentum. Mr. Cousins returns here to the central theme that dominated the editorial pages of the Saturday Review during the thirty years of his editorship: the challenge to human freedom and safety represented by vast destructive power slipping away from the means of control.

This is the first comprehensive critical evaluation of the use of rational choice theory in political science. Writing in an accessible and nontechnical style, Donald P. Green and Ian Shapiro assess rational choice theory where it is reputed to be most successful: the study of collective action, the behavior of political parties and politicians, and such phenomena as voting cycles and Prisoner's Dilemmas. In their hard-hitting critique, Green and Shapiro demonstrate that the much heralded achievements of rational choice theory are in fact deeply suspect and that fundamental rethinking is needed if rational choice theorists are to contribute to the understanding of politics. In their final chapters, they anticipate and respond to a variety of possible rational choice responses to their arguments, thereby initiating a dialogue that is bound to continue for some time.

Axel Honneth has been instrumental in advancing the work of the Frankfurt School of critical theorists, rebuilding their effort to combine radical social and political analysis with rigorous philosophical inquiry. These eleven essays published over the past five years reclaim the relevant themes of the Frankfurt School, which counted Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, Jürgen Habermas, Franz Neumann, and Albrecht Wellmer as members. They also engage with Kant, Freud, Alexander Mitscherlich, and Michael Walzer, whose work on morality, history, democracy, and individuality intersects with the Frankfurt School's core concerns.Collected here for the first time in English, Honneth's essays pursue the unifying themes and theses that support the methodologies and thematics of critical social theory, and they address the possibilities of continuing this tradition through radically changed theoretical and social conditions. According to Honneth, there is a unity that underlies critical theory's multiple approaches: the way in which reason is both distorted and furthered in contemporary capitalist society. And while much is dead in the social and psychological doctrines of critical social theory, its central inquiries remain vitally relevant. Is social progress still possible after the horrors of the twentieth century? Does capitalism deform reason and, if so, in what respects? Can we justify the relationship between law and violence in secular terms, or is it inextricably bound to divine justice? How can we be free when we're subject to socialization in a highly complex and in many respects unfree society? For Honneth, suffering and moral struggle are departure points for a new "reconstructive" form of social criticism, one that is based solidly in the empirically grounded, interdisciplinary approach of the Frankfurt School.
