Sinossi

"Pyramid Death Traps" unveils the sophisticated security systems within ancient Egyptian pyramids, designed to protect pharaohs' remains and treasures. These weren't just simple barriers; they were elaborate combinations of deceptive architecture, like hidden passages and false doors meant to disorient intruders, and intricate mechanical traps, such as falling stones triggered by unsuspecting footsteps. 

 
The book explores how religious beliefs about the afterlife fueled the creation of these defenses, reflecting the high status of pharaohs who required unparalleled protection even in death. The book examines the evolution of tomb security from simple chambers to complex labyrinths, categorizing death traps by their mechanisms and psychological deterrents. 

 
It details the operation of devices like spring-loaded mechanisms and explores how curses and intimidating imagery were used to discourage tomb robberies. Ultimately, "Pyramid Death Traps" analyzes the effectiveness of these measures, drawing on historical accounts and archaeological evidence to understand how and why some tomb breaches succeeded while others failed, giving insight into ancient Egyptian culture and engineering.

The Tanning of America - How...

Steve Stoute, Mim Eichler Rivas

The business marketing genius at the forefront of today's entertainment marketing revolution helps corporate America get hip to today's new consumer—the tan generation. 
When Fortune 500 companies need to reenergize or reinvent a lagging brand, they call Steve Stoute. In addition to marrying cultural icons with blue-chip marketers, Stoute has helped identify and activate a new generation of consumers. He traces how the "tanning" phenomenon raised a generation of black, Hispanic, white, and Asian consumers who have the same "mental complexion"—one based on shared experiences and values rather than the increasingly irrelevant demographic boxes that have been used to a fault by corporate America. But there is a language gap that must be bridged to engage the most powerful market force in the history of commerce. 
The Tanning of America provides the needed translation guide. Drawing from his company's case studies, as well as from extensive interviews with leading figures in multiple fields, Stoute presents an insider's view of how the transcendent power of popular culture is helping reinvigorate and revitalize the American dream.

Analytic Idealism in a Nutshell...

Bernardo Kastrup

As the failures of physicalism begin to shake the confidence of even the most biased of its supporters, a new view on the nature of reality is establishing itself as the only tenable alternative: Analytic Idealism. According to it, there is a world out there independent of our individual minds, but such world is—just like ourselves—also mental or experiential. While being a realist, naturalist, rationalist, and even reductionist view, Analytic Idealism flips our culture-bound intuitions on their head, revealing that only through understanding our own inner nature can we understand the nature of the world. This book embodies its author's years-long experience on how best to explain Analytic Idealism to someone who has never studied it before and has no background in the technical fields involved. It meets the listeners where they are, holding their hand as they are shown—through a series of evocative metaphors—how to see through their own unexamined assumptions, so to realize how the impossible dilemmas of physicalism disappear when nature is regarded from a slightly different slant. The conclusions have tremendous implications for our values and way of life, as well as our understanding of purpose, self, identity, and death.

This was the Weekly Poem for 20 May 2006. We stretched our poetry-reading muscles with five versions of this much longer selection than usual (some 96 lines), in which D.H. Lawrence evokes a gritty yet sensitive picture of urban poverty before the First World War. (Summary by LauraFox)

So, how can you incorporate mindfulness into your treatment—safely and effectively—for improved outcomes?

You'll learn how to form individualized, trauma-informed case conceptualization and treatment plans, and integrate mindfulness into psychotherapy with a focus on four interconnected mindfulness mechanisms: attentional focus, body awareness, emotion regulation, and changes in perspective on the self. 
 
 
  
You'll also find a framework for targeting specific trauma symptoms, with an emphasis on when and how to effectively integrate mindfulness into sessions, and a variety of mindfulness practices to help your clients make and sustain treatment gains. Strategies for how to intervene when difficulties such as panic attacks or painful memories arise during a mindfulness practice are also provided, along with discussions of therapist mindfulness and trauma stewardship.
