Summary

The Story of the Volsungs (Volsunga Saga); with Excerpts from the Poetic Edda is a mythological text that is part of the Norse Saga. Excerpt: "Then spake Volsung the king, "All people and nations shall tell of the word I spake, yet being unborn, wherein I vowed a vow that I would flee in fear from neither fire nor the sword; even so have I done hitherto, and shall I depart therefrom now I am old? Yea withal never shall the maidens mock these my sons at the games, and cry out at them that they fear death; once alone must all men need die, and from that season shall none escape; so my rede is that we flee nowhither, but do the work of our hands in as manly wise as we may; a hundred fights have I fought, and whiles I had more, and whiles I had less, and yet ever had I the victory, nor shall it ever be heard tell of me that I fled away or prayed for peace."

    Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's syndrome, Asperger disorder (AD) or simply Asperger's, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. 
    Many people are afflicted with and suffer from Asperger’s and there is little to no understanding by the general public in regards to this syndrome. There is a lack of awareness, so when people encounter someone who has Asperger’s they view them strangely because aspies (as they commonly refer to themselves as) act and communicate differently from the rest of society so they are easily misunderstood. 
    In his book entitled “Asperger Syndrome” author and Asperger expert Frank Ryan offers a comprehensive guide for understanding, living with and treating Asperger syndrome. 
    Here are some of the topics covered: 
    • Detail overview and history of the Asperger Syndrome 
    • Effects of the syndrome on social interactions 
    • Effects of the syndrome on behavior and interests 
    • Effects of the syndrome on speech and language 
    • Effects of the syndrome on motor and sensory perception 
    • Therapies and medication 
    • Alternative therapies and treatments 
    • Available aids 
    • Children who suffer from Asperger 
    • Adults who suffer from Asperger 
    • How to deal with and manage a loved one who has Asperger 
    And much more……

    The sexual landscape has changed dramatically in the past few decades, with the meaning of gender and sexuality now being parsed within the realms of gender fluidity and nonheteronormative sexuality. The sea change in sexual attitudes has also made room for the mainstreaming of internet pornography and the use of virtual reality, cybersex, and teledildonics for sexual pleasure. The New Sexual Landscape and Contemporary Psychoanalysis surveys modern sex culture and suggests ways psychoanalysis can update its theories and practice to meet the novel needs of today's generations.
