Beschreibung

Disability Identity Shift explores the transformation of disability from a medical diagnosis to a potent source of identity and political power. It examines how societal and political forces have reshaped perceptions, language, and self-understanding within the disability community. The book highlights the cultural construction of disability, moving away from purely medical models, which is crucial for dismantling societal barriers. It also examines the politics surrounding disability rights, revealing ongoing struggles for accessibility and inclusion. The book argues that disability identity has evolved into a source of pride, community, and political influence. This evolution is a collective movement challenging ableism and demanding social justice.

 
Beginning with the historical roots of disability identity, the book progresses through cultural factors shaping perceptions, political mobilization efforts, and concludes with a discussion of future trends and challenges. The book uses historical analysis, legal documents, media content analysis, and personal narratives to support its arguments. It offers a unique perspective by focusing on the intersection of culture, politics, and identity, making it valuable for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding disability rights and identity.

     The Battle of Britain was not an isolated event. It was the culmination of a series of escalating tensions, military buildups, and ideological confrontations that had been brewing for years. By 1939, Europe was on the brink of war. The world watched as Adolf Hitler's ambitions for territorial expansion grew, and the Nazi regime began implementing its aggressive policies across Europe. 
      
    The rise of Nazi Germany under Hitler was a response to the humiliation the country had suffered after World War I. With the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, Germany was burdened with harsh reparations, which led to economic instability and social unrest. In this environment, Hitler’s National Socialist party capitalized on the public’s desire for national renewal. He began rearming Germany in the early 1930s, violating the treaty’s restrictions and asserting military strength across Europe. 
      
    By the mid-1930s, Britain and France found themselves at odds with Germany’s expanding influence. In 1938, Hitler annexed Austria and then demanded control over Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. When the Munich Agreement failed to halt his expansionist ambitions, Britain began to realize that appeasement would not work. The threat of war was no longer theoretical; it was imminent.

    —Command respect and inspire others  
     
    —Speak with poise and clarity 
     
    —Become genuinely likable to others

    Far more than just a faint echo of the past, Ireland's fairy forts are still vibrantly alive. 
    The traditions connected to them are so powerful that, even today, people rarely interfere with Irish fairy forts or fairy trees. They aren't built on; roads curve around them; farmers don't plough over them 
    The most numerous ancient remains in Ireland today, numbering up to 50,000 or more, these enigmatic mounds and grassy banks seem to call out to us from an earlier time. So, what are they, who built them and what were they for? And how have so many survived for so long?
    With evocative photographs by Richard Mills, master folklorist Jo Kerrigan explores the origins of these mysterious circular structures: the stories and legends, the history and archaeology, the living traditions and practices connected to them. And reminds us of the dangers of disturbing the ancient spirits dwelling beneath.

    The Leather Couch provides a comprehensive overview of the BDSM and kink community and guides clinicians on how to meet the unique relational and mental health needs of its members. 
     
     
     
    The text offers a 101-style introduction to BDSM before delving into topics ranging from intersectionality within the kink community, to conducting a kink-affirming risk assessment, and how to discern between domestic violence and consensual power-exchange. The author explores differential diagnoses and clinical concerns that are relevant to health care providers, including social workers and therapists as well as primary care physicians and sex educators. 
     
     
     
    Interwoven throughout with real-world case studies, each chapter presents practical suggestions, tools, and handouts the listener can use to inform their practice and serve clients in ways that meet the needs of each individual, couple, or partnership. 
     
     
     
    Written in a conversational, accessible style for clinicians and members of the BDSM community alike, The Leather Couch is the go-to resource for any mental health professional or educator looking to transform their practice from kink aware to kink affirming.

    The self-admitted author of The Chemical Marriage, Johann Valentin Andreæ, born in Württemberg in 1586, was twenty-eight years of age when that work was first published. It was presumably written about twelve years prior to its publication--or when the author was fifteen or sixteen years old. The fact is almost incredible that one so young could produce a volume containing the wealth of symbolic thought and philosophy hidden between the lines of The Chemical Marriage. This book makes the earliest known reference to Christian Rosencreutz, and is generally regarded as the third of the series of original Rosicrucian manifestoes. As a symbolic work, the book itself is hopelessly irreconcilable with the statements made by Andreæ concerning it. The story of The Chemical Marriage relates in detail a series of incidents occurring to an aged man, presumably the Father C.R.C. of the Fama and Confessio. If Father C.R.C. was born in 1378, as stated in the Confessio, and is identical with the Christian Rosencreutz of The Chemical Marriage, he was elevated to the dignity of a Knight of the Golden Stone in the eighty-first year of his life (1459). In the light of his own statements, it is inconceivable that Andreæ could have been Father Rosy Cross.
