Be Grateful: Brighton College's Fallen 1939–45

David Turner

Beschreibung

A roll-call and history of the ex-students of Brighton College who fell in the Second World War. 
 
Eighty years on from the beginning of the Second World War it is easy to forget that, for a time, democracy, the rule of law and even everyday values of tolerance and kindness were in danger of being snuffed out in Europe. 
 
Given the sacrifices made, we must not forget the people who fought to protect these virtues – particularly those who laid down their lives for this cause. To this end, all Fourth Form pupils at Brighton College have researched an individual Old Brightonian who died in, or as a result of, the war. The list includes former masters, pupils and one German old boy who was doubtless a good man, but fighting for a bad cause. 
 
What emerges in this book, a companion to a volume on the fallen of the Great War already published, is a collection of extremely varied personal histories. Where possible, this book recalls the family lives of each man in addition to his war service. The quality of research has been high, and pupils have also excelled at storytelling: finding the excitement and humour in each life, as well as the poignancy. The 170 fallen Old Brightonians of the Second World War, nurtured by the College but cut off in their prime, have been honoured by the current crop of Brightonians, several generations below them.

Biologic Dentistry and a Better...

Robert Herzog

People all over America enjoy some of the best dental care in the world. We enjoy the expertise of 201,927 actively practicing dentists in the US.Many of us create long-term, family-wide relationships with our trusted dentists and have enjoyed some new technologies along the way. We are all beginning to hear about innovations in dentistry and discoveries about the relationship of dental health to overall well-being.What if we thought about dental health as the foundation for physical health?WebMD notes that “up to 91 percent of patients with heart disease have periodontitis, compared to 66 percent of people with no heart disease. The two conditions have several risk factors, such as smoking, an unhealthy diet, and excess weight. And some suspect that periodontitis has a direct role in raising the risk for heart disease.”These new ideas and evidence-based innovations are bubbling up all over the country, and we call this biologic dentistry. That can mean many things, so we need to sort out the evidence-based innovations from the hopeful theories. __________________________American Dental Association, Health Policy Institute, https://www.ada.org/resources/research/health-policy-institute/dentist-workforce#:~:text=Dentist%20workforce%20FAQs,dentists%20per%20100%2C000%20U.S.%20population, accessed July 27, 2022.Joanne Barker, WEB MD, Oral Health: The Mouth-Body Connection, https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/features/oral-health-the-mouth-body-connection, Accessed July 27, 2022.These new ideas and evidence-based innovations are bubbling up all over the country, and we call this biologic dentistry. That can mean many things, so we need to sort out the evidence-based innovations from the hopeful theories.One of America’s top champions of biologic dentistry is Dr. Robert Herzog, a general dentist with twenty-five years of experience practicing in Albany, NY. As a trained and gifted engineer who later completed training as a general dentist, Dr. Herzog has made a passion out of sorting out the best innovative new processes and tools.He wants to educate people on what they should know but perhaps don't know yet.Dr. Herzog’s new book Biologic Dentistry and a Better You constructs a well-engineered bridge you can safely traverse to a place to better look at the marvels of holistic dentistry. You can stop and absorb the original new ideas rushing to meet you. You can move closer to your horizon and consider some carefully curated holistic ideas about biologic dentistry and its impact on your total health.Dr. Herzog offers a fascinating view of the mouth-body connection and the danger most of us face with mercury amalgam fillings. Many of us have different and dissimilar metals in our mouths, which can create microcurrents and, consequently, brain fog.He champions cleaner methods, safer extractions, 3D x-ray CT imaging, ozone and lasers, solutions for jaw disorders, better breathing and sleep, the lymphatic system, retaining wisdom teeth, and discusses newly revealed dangers of root canals.Biologic Dentistry and a Better You helps us visualize our family’s dental health from a new perspective. It’s not just about teeth anymore. Medical science now embraces the electrifying realization that the body is deeply interconnected. When something isn’t right, it often shows up in the mouth. "

Outsmart Your Anxious Brain -...

David A. Carbonell PhD, Martin...

It's time to outsmart your worry and anxiety. Drawing on the same cutting-edge psychology presented in author David Carbonell's The Worry Trick, this irreverent, on-the-go guide offers ten powerful "counter-intuitive" strategies to help you put worry in its place—anytime, anywhere.Anxiety is a powerful force. It makes us question our decisions and ourselves, worry about the future, and it fills our days with dread and emotional turbulence. But what if we understood that anxiety is merely a trick of the mind, trying to convince us we're in danger? Anxiety is like a magician behind the curtain, playing subtle tricks on us to convince us that we're in danger when we're not. When we understand this, we can observe our anxious feelings with some distance.Based on the author's popular book, The Worry Trick, this helpful and humorous guide identifies the "trick" of chronic anxiety, and provides the ten most powerful techniques based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you respond differently to panic, anxiety, worry, and phobias. Once you learn to respond differently to the worry trick, you'll be able to break the cycle of chronic anxiety for good.

Preventing Suicide - A Handbook...

Karen Mason

v
12th Annual Outreach Resource of the Year
What is the church's role in suicide prevention?
While we tend to view the work of suicide prevention as the task of professional therapists and doctors, the church can also play a vital role. Studies show that religious faith is an important factor reducing the risk of suicide. Yet many pastors, chaplains and pastoral counselors feel overwhelmed and unprepared to prevent suicides.
In this practical handbook, psychologist Karen Mason equips ministry professionals to work with suicidal individuals. Integrating theology and psychology, she shows how pastoral caregivers can be agents of hope, teaching the significance of life, monitoring those at risk and intervening when they need help. Because church leaders are often present in people's lives in seasons of trouble and times of crisis, they can provide comfort in the midst of suffering and offer guidance for the future.
When our church members struggle in the darkness, the darkness need not overcome them. Discover how you and your church can be proactive in caring for those at risk of self-harm.
