Delphi Collected Works of Alexis de Tocqueville (Illustrated)

Alexis de Tocqueville

Beschreibung

Alexis de Tocqueville was a French nineteenth century political philosopher and historian. His landmark work ‘Democracy in America’ (1840) analyses the improved living standards and social conditions of individuals as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. The treatise won Tocqueville an immediate reputation as an esteemed political scientist. In later years, he turned to the subject of the French Revolution and, after years of research, he published ‘The Old Regime and the Revolution’, exploring French society before the French Revolution, the so-called “Ancien Régime”, while investigating the forces that led to the 1789 Revolution. The book is now generally considered one of the major early historical works on the subject, which expands on Tocqueville’s main theory about the Revolution — the theory of continuity. This eBook presents Tocqueville’s collected (almost complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

ACT for Treating Children - The...

PhD Tamar D. Black, Russ Harris

If you treat children struggling with mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety, you know that approaches designed for adults do not work with younger clients. ACT for Treating Children presents skills grounded in evidence-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help children regulate emotions and cope with the inevitable ups and downs of life, and is suitable for clinicians with no prior knowledge of or training in ACT, as well as seasoned ACT clinicians. 
 
 
 
Written by an experienced educational and developmental psychologist, this practical clinician's guide outlines a simplified version of the ACT Hexaflex—a key component of this treatment model—called the Kidflex, to help young clients build resilience and psychological flexibility.  You'll find strategies for involving parents in treatment when appropriate, and enlisting them as 'ACT coaches' in the child’s therapy. 
 
 
 
It can be difficult to know where to start when using ACT for individual therapy with children. That's why the skills in this go-to guide are practical and easy-to-implement, can be done with children in both face-to-face therapy and online sessions, and are simple enough for children to put into practice in any setting—whether it's at home, in school, or out in the world.

Rise of the Machines

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

For decades science fiction writers have amazed us and terrorized us with their portrayal of the world of robots. The coming army of super artificially intelligent machines that will help us or hinder us. From the crazy daleks of Dr Who to the funny and human like androids of Star Trek, everything has been imagined.

Today we are living in that future age of robots and artificial intelligence. Today all those dreams of the past are coming true. Around the world scientists, engineers and software creators are bringing to life the fantasy world of the films.

Mechanical robots will soon be outdated with biologically created humanoids implanted with artificial intelligence and connected to each other across the globe. They will self-repair, gather energy from the sun and live forever. They will be all-knowing and all-powerful like Gods that will walk the earth.

And all the time we humans are blindly following. We are walking away from millions of years as beings of a natural world into something so unnatural that even the science fiction writers will be amazed. This future world is now inevitable and cannot be stopped. We have no choice but to be part of it and so we had better be armed with knowledge inorder to be better prepared for the circumstances. The greatest brains on earth today have warned us about the consequences of getting this new technology wrong. They have predicted catastrophe. Prepare to meet your future now.

Service - The Act of Helping -...

Esther Jameson

Service is much more than a mere act of giving; it is a transformative experience that intertwines our personal growth with the welfare of others. At its core, service is an expression of compassion, empathy, and responsibility. It calls upon us to use our unique gifts to address the needs of our communities and to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. When we engage in service, we recognize that our contributions, no matter how small, have the potential to bring about significant change.
Understanding service begins with a deep reflection on our own lives. It requires us to assess our strengths and passions, asking ourselves what we can offer that might alleviate another’s struggle or enhance their quality of life. This process is not solely about what we do for others but also about how these actions enrich our own lives. The act of helping fosters a sense of purpose and fulfillment that can lead to personal development and a more resilient, positive mindset.
Service is also a powerful tool for building community. In a world where isolation and disconnection are increasingly prevalent, acts of service serve as a bridge that connects individuals from diverse backgrounds. Whether it is lending a hand to a neighbor, volunteering for a local charity, or engaging in community projects, each act of service contributes to a larger tapestry of collective well-being. These actions remind us that we are part of a larger whole and that every contribution is vital to the strength and success of our communities.

Trained by the Football Team...

Archer Vale

I always thought I was straight…but now I’m not sure. 
“P-please! I promise to be a good boy!” 
I kneel before the ripped, suntanned alpha male, begging for his most precious gift. He’s the college quarterback and I’m the water boy. He’s my king and I’m his loyal servant. 
This all began when the football team invited me into their hidden clubhouse. It began when they put a collar around my neck and fed me their seed. The strange flavor…it made my head spin and caused my muscles to relax. 
I’ve never been the same since. 
I think I’m addicted…
