Описание:
It had all started because of that wretched David Harrison. Although her resistance to his command had her digging her heels into the soil of England, one part of her heart anticipated the adventure of escaping the past and entering a new future in the great North West of Canada.
From a young age, Elizabeth Davison's life was filled with tears and heartache. After both her parents' death at the castle, she became an indentured cleaning girl in their stead and was required to work for seven years to pay off the remaining debt owed by them. But Elizabeth just could not be content. She longed to be free.
Life takes an unexpected twist and she moves across the ocean to a newly founded land. Will she survive the long journey ahead with an infuriating person who always seems to best her? And when danger comes calling, can she vanquish it with the sharp wit of her tongue or will she perish like a withering rose?
Her search for a glimpse of the rainbow left her feeling so small. Her future seemed so obscure...
Would she ever be content?

Описание: Chronic stress, a factor in everyday life, leads to several dysfunctions of the mind and body, resulting in disorders ranging from addictions to cancers. We are now aware of the emotional brain, its role in brain biology, and the devastation it causes when it dysfunctions. "Your Happy Brain-Why and How to Hug it" presents specific and practical steps which combat stress and nurture the Insula, the emotional center in the brain. The book explains how the 5 senses, especially the sense of touch, reduces stress, prevents many psycho-social disorders, makes people happy, and improves the immune system. It is estimated that in a year, 25% of adults and 20% of children are diagnosed with a mental illness. These statistics make mental illness the third leading health-care problem, affecting all ages. An alarming number of young people are diagnosed with ADHD and addictions; while seniors often suffer from the many "proteinopathies" such as Parkinson's, dementia and Alzheimer's. Mental health statistics do not include social issues such as anger, divorce, truancy, and poor school performance which leads to student drop-out. Yet, as the book points out, all these may have a biological basis. The mental health topics may seem unrelated, but they are linked by the lack of arousal of "Touch Receptors" in the skin and the Insula. The book presents the biological basis for how the touch sensation reduces stress and helps the immune system. This information will hopefully inspire individuals and families to lead happy, fulfilled lives, and contribute towards a more content society with fewer mental health issues. Addiction is a vexing social problem. Nicotine, drugs and alcohol lead the list of chemical addictive agents. There are also behavioral addictions such as binge-eating and gambling, as well as compulsive disorders such as incessant texting, checking social media, and playing video games, etc. These addictions can lead to depression and suicide. The latter is the second most common cause of death in young adults. Behavioral troubles can have their roots in infancy, and the book discusses ways to nurture a child's brain at this critical period of life. Your Happy Brain describes how different parts of the brain can be modulated to work in concert, the factors that influence brain growth, and the vital role a positive childhood plays in lifelong happiness. Readers who will benefit from this book: - Work in the medical and allied-medical fields. - Are interested in behavioral issues, including those involved in criminal justice, law and order, and social work. - Are parents, grandparents and educators interested in understanding the maturation of the brain in children and teenagers. - Seek to improve balance in seniors and prevent common falls and hip fractures. - Recognize the biological effects of stress on humans. - Understanding student drop-out and behavioral issues. - Comprehend the biology of emotional distancing, which is a prelude to divorce. The authors take readers through brain biology and evolution, and provide well-labeled diagrams of relevant areas of the brain. Pictorial models are included to point out how various components of the brain work together, and how to maximize the synergy to produce a Happy Brain. In an easy-to-understand manner, the book describes brain development in general, and the emotional brain in particular. It presents information in a lucid and easy-to-read format, and takes the reader through the blue-print of how evolution designed our emotional and subconscious brain to function in a happy state of mind. The non-medical reader will gain insight into the serious social and medical problems we face today, especially the potential neurological issues we create for ourselves. Some of the biological basis for our common social practices will provide the reader with an "Aha Now I understand " moment. More information on the book is available at yourhappy
Описание: This international edited collection examines how racism trajectories and manifestations in different locations relate and influence each other. The book unmasks and foregrounds the ways in which notions of European Whiteness have found form in a variety of global contexts that continue to sustain racism as an operational norm resulting in exclusion, violence, human rights violations, isolation and limited full citizenship for individuals who are not racialised as White. The chapters in this book specifically implicate European Whiteness – whether attempting to reflect, negate, or obtain it – in social structures that facilitate and normalise racism. The authors interrogate the dehumanisation of Blackness, arguing that dehumanisation enables the continuation of racism in White dominated societies. As such, the book explores instances of dehumanisation across different contexts, highlighting that although the forms may be locally specific, the outcomes are continually negative for those racialised as Black. The volume is refreshingly extensive in its analyses of racism beyond Europe and the United States, including contributions from Africa, South America and Australia, and illuminates previously unexplored manifestations of racism across the globe.
