    A guide to authentic North Asian Shamanism, past and present 
     
     
      
    The word shamanism is frequently bandied about but rarely used accurately. Shamanologist Nicholas Breeze Wood coined the following definition: "A shaman is someone chose by the spirits [typically at/before birth] and who can go into a controlled and repeatable deliberate trance state, during which they: A) experience 'spirit flight,' where they go to meet the spirit worlds and meet spirits, who they either fight with, negotiate with, or trick, in order to create change in this physical world, or B) are often taken over/possessed by the spirits (normally ancestral shaman spirits, or local land spirits) while in this physical world—the spirits using the shaman's voice and body to heal, or give advice to members of the shaman's community.  Without the spirits, and their blessing, a shaman can not exist or function. Without the trance state, it is not shamanism." 
     
     
     
    Author David Shi, for whom these are family traditions, explores the history and practice of shamanism. What is it? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? Shi guides listeners through unfamiliar territory—the landscape of North Asia—and through what are largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions. Spirit Voices takes and in-depth look at three main cultural shamanic traditions: Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus.

    Do fears, excessive worries and anxiety prevent your child from living what should be the best and most carefree years of their life? 
    Wouldn't it be nice if you could just flip a switch and make his or her shyness disappear? 
    Have the various strategies that you have used been useless, leaving you with the feeling that you have missed something? 
    I recommend that you read and have your child read this manual if, in the past three months, he has been overwhelmed by:Nervousness and irritability: adolescents may feel nervous or angry for no reason.Sleep disturbances: difficulty falling asleep, interrupted or shallow sleep or early awakening or, conversely, hypersomnia, or the need to sleep more than necessary.Outbursts of anger: sometimes girls or boys, even quiet or introverted ones, may have outbursts of anger or fits of tears for no apparent reason.Distractibility, loss of contact with the outside world: sometimes, some adolescents are so caught up in their malaise that they appear extremely disoriented or detached from reality.Depressed mood, negativity, pessimism and low self-esteem.Physical symptoms: anxiety in adolescence often manifests itself mainly through the body. Headache, stomach pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, diarrhoea, muscle aches and the need to urinate frequently are just some of the most common somatic symptoms. 
    Unlike other publications, this book isn't just for teens. Anyone can use it. And it doesn't read like a college course, it'll let you know what's going on in a teenager's head. 
    In reality, there is no aspect of your life in which this workbook is not helpful. So why let shyness and anxiety rule your life any more?

    More than 5 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease or a related form of dementia. By the year 2030, experts estimate that as many as 66 million people will be faced with this life-altering disease. These statistics impact millions of caregivers. Compared with all types of caregivers, those who assist someone with dementia experience the highest levels of burnout, depression, poor health, and premature death. A Dignified Life, Revised and Expanded offers hope and help. 
     
     
     
    Ten years ago, the first edition of A Dignified Life changed the way the caregiving community approached Alzheimer's disease by showing caregivers how to act as a Best Friend to the person. Firmly grounded in the latest knowledge about dementia, this expanded edition offers a wealth of tips and advice. 
     
     
     
    While medical treatment of the disease hasn't changed, our understanding and awareness of treating people in a more caring way has changed. With no cure, respectful care by effective and compassionate care partners is the only real "treatment" available. The Best Friends Approach is successful because it sustains people's connection to their world, their loved ones, and themselves. A Dignified Life shows how to bring dignity, meaning, and peace of mind to the lives of both those who have Alzheimer's and dementia and those who care for them.

    Americans are more familiar with his signature than with the man himself. In this spirited account of John Hancock's life, Brooke Barbier depicts a patriot of fascinating contradictions—a child of enormous privilege who would nevertheless become a voice of the common folk; a pillar of society uncomfortable with radicalism who yet was crucial to independence. 
     
     
     
    Orphaned young, Hancock was raised by his merchant uncle, whose business and vast wealth he inherited—including household slaves, whom Hancock later freed. By his early thirties, he was one of New England's most prominent politicians, earning a place on Britain's most-wanted list and the derisive nickname King Hancock. While he eventually joined the revolution against England, his ever moderate—and moderating—disposition would prove an asset after 1776. Barbier shows Hancock appealing to southerners and northerners, Federalists and Anti-Federalists. He was a famously steadying force as president of the fractious Second Continental Congress. As governor of Massachusetts, Hancock convinced its delegates to vote for the federal Constitution and calmed the fallout from the shocking Shays's Rebellion. An insightful study of leadership in the revolutionary era, King Hancock traces a moment when passion was on the side of compromise and accommodation proved the basis of profound social and political change.
