THE WILL OF HEAVEN is the powerful true story of how one woman overcame a debilitating addiction-rising from the courtrooms of her past to the grass plains of Kenya as a conservation research scientist. It was there she could finally fulfill her lifelong dream of working with wild elephants.
Debbie Ethell became obsessed by a group of elephants in Kenya when she was eight years old after seeing them on a PBS nature show. Over the next several years, her obsession grew-until a group of school bullies left her contemplating suicide.
By the time she was twenty-six, an addiction to alcohol robbed her of nearly everything except her dreams ... and it nearly took those too. Left with one final option and more judges in her life than friends, she entered a treatment center and then a halfway house, where she slowly learned how to live life sober.
THE WILL OF HEAVEN vividly captures her serendipitous journey as she discovers her inner strength-not unlike that of the elephants whose stories she tells. Part biography, part revelation, this story will inspire others to reach further than they ever thought they could. Above all, it conveys a strong message of hope, both for elephants fighting to survive poaching and for alcoholics fighting to survive addiction.

Описание: According to the popular press in the mid twentieth century, American women, in a misguided attempt to act like men in work and leisure, were drinking more. “Lady Lushes” were becoming a widespread social phenomenon. From the glamorous hard-drinking flapper of the 1920s to the disgraced and alcoholic wife and mother played by Lee Remick in the 1962 film “Days of Wine and Roses,” alcohol consumption by American women has been seen as both a prerogative and as a threat to health, happiness, and the social order. In Lady Lushes, medical historian Michelle L. McClellan traces the story of the female alcoholic from the late-nineteenth through the twentieth century. She draws on a range of sources to demonstrate the persistence of the belief that alcohol use is antithetical to an idealized feminine role, particularly one that glorifies motherhood. Lady Lushes offers a fresh perspective on the importance of gender role ideology in the formation of medical knowledge and authority.

Описание: Reprint of 1960 Edition. Jellinek was the founder of the Yale Center of Alcohol Studies and several other research centers. Jellinek coined the expression "the disease concept of alcoholism", and significantly accelerated the movement towards the medicalization of drunkenness and alcohol habituation. This book was considered the most careful and penetrating analysis of its theme up to its time of publication. In 1960 he left Yale to develop work on alcoholism for the World Health Organization and other research centers concerned with the study of alcoholism. The Disease Concept of Alcoholism is now considered a classic work in the field.

Описание: From the President of the Research Society on Alcoholism On behalf of the Research Society on Alcoholism, I am pleased to introduce this thirteenth volume of Recent Developments in Alcoholism about alcohol and violence.
Описание: 'Understanding Alcoholism as a Brain Disease' includes an in-depth explanation of how alcoholism works inside the brain; the stages of alcoholism identified by scientific researchers; and a list of clues to your genetic vulnerability. Written in plain English from a true medical perspective, even if you aren't a doctor or scientist, you'll find this book easy to read and understand. Care-givers and loved-ones ask over and over again, 'Why does the alcoholic keep drinking or continue to return to drinking, despite all they continue to lose?', 'How can they keep drinking when it is killing them and irreparably damaging relationships?', 'What is wrong with them? 'Alcoholics berate themselves and question why they keep drinking when they see the damage it causes. They ask, 'What is wrong with me?'The answers to those agonizing questions are found in this book. The answers have nothing to do with how much the alcoholic loves himself or you, their level of 'spiritual awareness', or their 'flawed character'. Instead, the answers are medical in nature, and relate to the way that alcoholism hijacks and damages the brain. Alcoholism is a brain disease: this book will help you understand the disease in a way that will give you new perspectives on this devastating neurological condition.
