As photonics becomes to the 21st century what electronics was to the 20th century, Anne proposes a new 'Light Garden' model for creating a living future in which the growth of living organisms and Life processes themselves, rather than machines, are placed at the center of the next wave of humanity's local and international cooperative efforts.Referring to multiple cultural metaphors of light from around the globe, Anne explains in an illustrated, well referenced, easy to read format how quantum biophysics has been found to be better than earlier schools of thought in explaining the behaviour of light, energy fields, waves, electromagnetism and the way in which living organisms regulate their growth, repair, reproduction and collaborative existence on planet Earth. Applying these principles and drawing upon her four decades of experience and professional qualifications in the fields of science, cultural heritage, landscape design and environmental planning, Anne then gives examples of how many 21st century cultures, rather than continuing to deplete the natural resources of the Earth, are actually rejuvenating the living systems, in both practical and spiritual terms.

Описание: Rhyming couplets describe a day in the life of an energetic, little girl who stretches "like a cat" and hangs "like a bat," while the illustrations show both the child and the succession of imaginary animals she mimics. Her activities wind up with a gentle goodnight as her parents tuck her, "snuggling like a bear," into bed.

Описание:
All around the planet in the 21st century, there are calls for changes to how we manage natural resources, as the ravages of deprivation, resource depletion and unemployment bite harshly on many fronts. We need to rejuvenate resources, not continue to deplete them. Fields such as human settlements, medicine, ecology, economics, natural resource management and climate change have lagged some one hundred years behind in implementing the principles of exciting scientific discoveries about the biophysical principles that underpin the growth of all living creatures.
It is in this context that the planetary Light Garden model that is presented in this book brings new hope. It describes the scientific, economic and cultural basis for a new decision making process that will support and rejuvenate the living systems and climate of our planet. It is not a human centered approach, nor one that is based on abstract concepts such as economic growth. It makes living systems the focus and priority of our human activities, rather than limiting the criteria for making our major resource sharing decisions to abstract concepts such as economic growth.
We can't expect abstract concepts such as economic growth to help fix problems with the growth of living organisms and the functioning of living, natural entities such as ecosystems or climate. No wonder we've been failing We need to make decisions that align with, and draw upon the Laws of Nature. One of the beauties of this approach is that it is peaceful and does not require warfare or competitive consumption of resources. As Anne Whittingham describes, the Light Garden principles provide some common ground between the individual citizen and the elite entities of the advancing global biotech, financial and digital technologies.
This is because we are all threatened by disastrous climate change and the loss of healthy livelihoods, as the protective envelope of biodiversity in which we have evolved continues to disintegrate. The Light Garden decision making model provides a way for humanity to make the changes that are needed now. As illustrated with examples from cultures on every continent, these changes are feasible. They can be made at a scale and pace that gives us an opportunity to regenerate the living systems, climate, societies and lives of the millions of young people who call this planet home.

Описание:
'Don Santiago' Whittingham and his 'Majorca Division'
Given the number of British troops involved in the Peninsular War it is, perhaps, unsurprising that there are many accounts and histories of the war in Spain and Portugal from a British perspective. The Duke of Wellington, one of greatest military figures in British history, became famous in Iberia and his success there helps give the impression that the war was a 'British Affair'. Spain itself fought a war of pitched battles and guerilla actions to liberate itself for which British writers have, in general, been inclined to give it little credit. On the battlefield, the Spanish occasionally prevailed, but mostly fared little better than the armies of other European nations against Napoleon's French forces. This book focusses on the war Spain fought against Napoleon and the principal character of this book, whose fascinating career appears regularly in histories of the war. Samford Whittingham was a liaison officer with the Spanish Army. He was present with Spanish forces during several of its most notable engagements. He also trained and led a superb body of Spanish troops on the British model, 'the Majorca Division', which became highly regarded by Wellington. Whittingham was present at Buenos Ayres during the disastrous South American venture, at Medellin, Talavera (where he was wounded), Barrosa, and Castalla making this account, especially concerning the campaign in Andalusia and upon the Spanish eastern flank, essential for all students of this war who require a broader understanding of its less reported theatres.

It is the first book written to support women, all women, through the psychological passage to motherhood, empowering them to become the kind of mother they wish to be. The psychological passage to motherhood is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most important transitions of a woman's life. It is not without its challenges. Even without complications, becoming a mum includes dramatic physical challenges, from morning sickness to the birth itself. It also has wide-reaching flow-on effects, as it changes a woman's relationship with her partner, her career, her family and her friends. Becoming a mother is a joyous adventure for many, but it is also an adventure that includes physical, mental and emotional challenges, as well as enormous personal adjustment. In Becoming Mum, Dr Koa Whittingham, a clinical and developmental psychologist, parenting researcher and mother, draws on the latest research, her clinical experience and her own experiences as a mother. In each chapter you will find suggestions on how to apply the concepts presented in Becoming Mum to your unique situation, including coping with challenges such as miscarriage, postnatal depression and preterm birth. Discover: - your unique parenting values, and how to harness these to become a confident and happy mother - how to use mindfulness and acceptance to create a loving bond with your baby and support your baby's emotional development - techniques for coping with criticism, unhelpful advice, distressing emotions and physical pain - how to keep your romantic relationship healthy and your support network strong - flexible, step by step strategies for facing major challenges that can be adapted to your personal circumstances Becoming Mum is grounded in the latest scientific literature on parenting and psychological health, drawing from mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment Theory. The book encourages women to enjoy motherhood and builds each woman's self-confidence as a mother by helping her to discover-and live by-her unique mothering values. Further, Becoming Mum liberates mothers from the dual pressures of self-doubt and criticism from others, empowering every mother to parent her child in the way that she feels is best for her own unique baby. Becoming Mum is written in a flexible style that supports each woman's individual circumstances. The practical strategies provided in the book can also easily be adapted to suit further challenges such as miscarriage, postnatal depression and preterm birth. Mums deserve psychological support that is nonjudgmental, empowering and liberating-support that is grounded in each woman's values and easily adaptable to each woman's circumstances and now they can find that support in Becoming Mum. Become the mum that you want to be
