Описание: My psychologist, Dr. J. Mark Pratt, says "What you do most is what you do best." Certainly, full-time paid employment takes up most of my time, and I am so grateful for that. Coming in close second, however, is mental health treatment. Appointments with psychiatrists/psychologists, mental health support groups, obtaining required blood work from the lab, filling pharmacy prescriptions, going to church, reading literature, and praying/meditating. Also common is doing volunteer work, helping friends and family with tasks, and listening to them when they are troubled. These activities give me positive thoughts that I am contributing to society and help keep me away from the negativity that has been a hallmark of my mental illness. Thus it has become a life that I truly believe is one worth living. In the early stages of recovery (the late 1990s) I did not share this view. But I survived those tumultuous days and have now entered into an expansive place where peace, even joy, is a common experience. The psychiatric and psychological treatments that have made this possible cost my mom, Gwen, a lot of money. Although, I have been able to remove this burden from her more recently. It occurred to me that if I could write a book delineating the various aspects of my treatment program, I could share these helpful concepts with others, virtually for free. That is the spirit in which this book is published, and I hope you can utilize it for increased mental health and well-being!

Описание: Explores the language of wonder in the history of the New World. Traces the preoccupation with this concept in the history of the Americas from the colonial era to the twentieth century, with the emergence of so-called magical realism.
This is the first accessible collection of interdisciplinary scholarship that expands on gridded modalities, with a strong affinity to the arts. It strives to inspire new avenues of research by exploring a new horizon of gridded relationships among humans, between humans and the environment, and between human and non-human actors. By bringing together philosophical and more applicable themes, it illustrates how a multifaceted genealogy of the "grid" can operate as an exercise in grasping its inherent complexity and incomplete quality. Built as a collective effort made by a group of researchers, practitioners and designers, it promotes an understanding of gridded modalities as complex networks that interact with other networks, generating new meanings that reflect a change of thought.
