Beschreibung

In this oral history, Vietnam veterans recount their stories of patrol and combat on the coast and in the Mekong Delta. Developed specifically for the Vietnam War, Swift Boats were versatile craft “big enough to outrun anything they couldn’t outfight” but too small to handle even a moderate ocean chop, too loud to sneak up on anyone, and too flimsy to withstand the mildest of rocket attacks. This added challenges to an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines.   The stories in this book cover the Swift Boats’ early years, which saw search-and-inspect operations in Vietnam’s coastal waters, and their later years, when the Swift Boats' mission shifted to the Mekong Delta’s labyrinth of three-thousand miles of rivers, streams, and canals. This is an intimate, exciting oral history of Swift Boats at war in Vietnam.

    As you know, mindfulness is a powerful tool for treating a variety of mental health issues. However, if you're a clinician treating clients who have suffered from trauma, you are also aware that mindfulness can sometimes cause significant stress or discomfort. So, how can you incorporate mindfulness into your treatment—safely and effectively—for improved outcomes? 
     
     
     
    Integrating Mindfulness into Psychotherapy for Trauma offers a transdiagnostic, process-based approach to treating trauma with mindfulness, with interventions that are practical, simple, and easy to teach. 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.

    The “Collaring Ceremony” is the most infamous prison ritual. 
    I wanted to join the prison gang, but these dangerous inmates had different plans for me. I hope my girlfriend never finds out about this… 
    They got me on my knees, wrapped a leather collar around my neck, and made me swear an oath of absolute loyalty. I’m their property now. 
    I serve. I worship. I obey. 
    Within this cold, testosterone-fueled universe, I’m passed around from one aggressive alpha male to the next. 
    I’ve become the prison boytoy.

    Unlock the more straightforward side of The Plague with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Plague by Albert Camus, an existentialist classic in which he continues to question the absurdity of life and applies the notion of rebellion. It is the story of a plague epidemic in the city of Oran in the 1940's and tells of the individual destinies of some of its inhabitants, who all react to the situation in a different way. The novel is believed to be based on the cholera epidemic that killed a large portion of Oran's population, or perhaps even the plague of the 16th and 17th centuries. Camus was a French author who was known for his thought-provoking novels and essays that often discussed fate, religion and philosophy, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 for his incredible works.

    The Woods Without Gods

    The Woods Without Gods is a poetic and philosophical meditation on the disappearance of the sacred from the modern world. Where once every forest was a temple and every shadow whispered divinity, now there is only silence — the echo of meaning lost to measurement. This book journeys through that silence, tracing how humanity’s hunger for mastery erased mystery, and how, in our pursuit of progress, we forgot how to listen. 
     Neither nostalgic nor cynical, The Woods Without Gods reveals what remains after faith: attention. It argues that awe can survive without theology, that reverence can exist without ritual. Through the lens of ecology, memory, and philosophy, it mourns the world’s disenchantment while celebrating the possibility of rediscovering holiness through perception itself. 
     This is not a lament for lost gods — it’s a call to presence. The sacred is not gone; it has only gone quiet, waiting in the moss, in the fog, in the patience of trees.
