Sinopsis

"Hands That Built" explores the vital role of craftsmanship in shaping ancient civilizations, revealing how manual labor influenced societies and technological advancements. The book delves into the evolution of building techniques, from rudimentary methods to sophisticated artistry, demonstrating that built environments are reflections of societal values. Examining the social and economic impact of manual labor, the book highlights how the act of construction spurred innovation, giving rise to specialized crafts and guilds.

 
The book progresses through three major sections, beginning with the fundamental concepts of craftsmanship and early building methods, using examples from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

The final portion focuses on unique architectural achievements from various civilizations, such as the temples of Southeast Asia, showcasing diverse techniques and materials.

    A Story of Love Conquers All 
    This is a tell-all story: the good and the bad of parenting a child with Autism and ADHD. Do you need a laugh, a cry, or release from a heavy subject of diagnosis? Why not flick through the pages of this book. In your hands, you hold an overview of information that I have researched and used. It is filled with strategies and integrated therapy methods, and with parenting tips which have been a saving grace for me and my family. 
    This is a memoir which I hope will inspire, as it is based on real life experiences and my ongoing research. I’m an ordinary person, not a doctor. I can be an actress … Yet, the truth is that I’m a mother, here to tell you a love story where “love conquerors all”. Parenting in itself is hard work and a little extra challenging with special needs. If I can do it, you can do it! Parenthood is one of the greatest gifts a person can encounter. Wouldn’t you agree? 
    Our son has contributed into who I am today, and I hope my family’s story can help your child reach their full potential, as you read about all that I have learnt and applied; it has been a game changer.

    Approximately 50 percent of the population will experience a traumatic event at some point. While reactions to trauma can vary widely, and not everyone will develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD), trauma can change the brain in some predictable ways. With increased awareness, you can seek treatment to address your symptoms and learn skills that could rewire your brain for recovery. Knowing what’s going on can be immensely helpful because it may help you realize that you’re not crazy, irreversibly damaged, or the wrong person. Instead, you can think of a traumatized brain as one that functions differently due to traumatic events. And just as your brain changes in response to your past experiences with the world, it can also change in response to your future experiences. In other words, the brain is “plastic,” and you can change it.Depth or imaginal psychotherapy is highly effective in treating and assessing adult survivors of childhood abuse. Specifically, interventions that use dreams, symbols, metaphor, and expressive art techniques are deemed especially valuable as they address dissociatively based changes (affect regulation, sense of self, and diminished imagination).Specifically, this book proposes that prominent symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (which will be further referred to as PTSD), such as changes in affect regulation, sense of self, and use of imagination, are better neurologically matched to therapeutic interventions that foster right-brain processes. By assessing specific depth psychological aspects of the individual’s shattered sense of self, a more focused and efficient treatment plan can be created sooner in the course of therapy.

    Reconciling - A Lifelong...

    It's taken most of Larry Grant's long life for his extraordinary heritage to be appreciated. He was born in a hop field outside Vancouver in 1936, the son of a Musqueam cultural leader and an immigrant from a village in Guangdong, China. In 1940, when the Indian agent discovered that their mother had married a non-status man, Larry and his two siblings were stripped of their status. With one stroke of the pen, they were disenfranchised—no longer recognized as Indigenous. 
     
    Reconciling is a series of conversations between Larry and writer Scott Steedman as they visit pivotal geographical places together. Larry tells the story of his life, including his thoughts on reconciliation and the path forward for First Nations and Canada. His life echoes the barely known story of Vancouver and spans key events of the last two centuries, including Chinese immigration and the Head Tax, the ravages of residential school and now Indigenous revival and the accompanying change in worldview. 
     
    When Larry talks about reconciliation, he uses the verb reconciling, an ongoing, unfinished process we're all going through. "I have been reconciling my whole life, with my inner self," he explains. "To not belong was forced upon me by the colonial society that surrounded me. But reconciling with myself is part of all that."

    Protecting Your Children from Internet Pornography exposes the many ways that pornography is menacing people, relationships, society, and—especially—our children. Dr. John Foubert’s ability to write about complex concepts in practical terms will help you understand issues like how pornography affects the brain, how pornography is a recipe for sexual violence, and why you should take measures to protect your children and those you love. This scholarly perspective is well balanced by practical suggestions at the end of each chapter that gives parents advice on how to apply the information in their own home. It is time for a national conversation about what pornography is really all about. Foubert’s book opens the door on that discussion and invites the reader to join the battle against porn with greater knowledge of its actual effects. You will be disturbed, shocked, motivated, and empowered to make a difference after reading this book.
