Quetzalcoatl: The Hero-God of the Aztec Tribes

Daniel Garrison Brinton

Sinossi

Daniel Garrison Brinton (1837-1899) was an American surgeon, historian, archaeologist and ethnologist. After graduating from Yale University in 1858, he studied at Jefferson Medical College for two years and spent the next year travelling in Europe. He continued his studies at Paris and Heidelberg. From 1862 to 1865, during the American Civil War, he was a surgeon in the Union Army. He became professor of Ethnology and Archaeology in the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia in 1884; and was professor of American linguistics and Archaeology in the University of Pennsylvania from 1886 until his death.
From 1868 to 1899, Brinton wrote many books, and a large number of pamphlets, brochures, addresses and magazine articles.
From Brinton's fundamental essay American Hero-Myths (which our publishing house has already republished in 2019), undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and complete work on the comparative mythology of the ancient American peoples, we have selected the study Quetzalcoatl: The Hero-God of the Aztec Tribes. We propose it to our readers today.

Easy Guide to Attachment...

Vanessa Alvarez

If you're like many adults today, you've experienced some kind of loss of a loved one. Whether it was a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or child, losing someone close hurts. 
People who develop attachment disorders have trouble regulating emotions and forming healthy relationships. They think negatively about themselves and find it hard to trust others. They often withdraw from social situations because they fear rejection. Some develop fears of intimacy and relationships. Others struggle with anger management issues. Still, others have difficulties controlling impulses and acting responsibly. 
But, an attachment disorder doesn't mean you'll never recover. Many people overcome these challenges through therapy and support groups. 
The book describes how attachment disorders affect adults, what they look like, and how to recognize them. It discusses the different types of attachment disorders, such as secure, avoidant, ambivalent/resistant, disorganized, and unresolved, and describes how they are diagnosed and treated. The authors discuss common comorbidities associated with ADs, including anxiety disorder, mood disorder, substance use disorder, eating disorders, personality disorders, and trauma exposure. 
The Vanessa Alvarez explains why people develop these disorders, and he provides advice on how to help someone who suffers from one. She also includes suggestions for parents, teachers, and therapists.

DESCRIPTION
The title of the book is Bhartiya Shoorveer .Earlier I had given the title of the book as bravery of India. Then I felt that the name of this book should be changed. Finally, I name my book BHARATIYA SHOORVEER. The name
Bhartiya Shoorveer was given because it felt good to speak in Hindi and our mother tongue is Hindi so I named the book Bhartiya Shoorveer. Now the question comes to why I wrote this book. The answer is that I love and respect my Indian Army very much. It is also a dream of mine to write a book on the Indian armed forces. I chose the topic of the Army only because what our Indian soldiers are doing for us on the borders protects us day and night whether it's a cold or hot or Stormy. It is also our duty to pay a thankfulness to our Indian Soldiers. The purpose of writing this book is to thank every Indian brave through this book. In Indian bravery, every soldier has been called bharatiya shoorveer. As you all know that our Indian Army is the second largest Army in the world. The responsibility of the security of the entire nation rests on them. Para SF Commandos have been given the title of Indian Warriors Bhartiya Shoorveer . In this book and how difficult and tough their journey is,
Jai hind 🇮🇳
