Sinopsis

In "The Book of the Feet," Joseph Sparkes Hall embarks on a meticulous exploration of the anatomy and symbolic significance of the foot throughout various cultures and epochs. Hall's literary style is characterized by a blend of empirical detail and poetic reflection, drawing on both scientific observation and anecdotal evidence to illuminate the multifaceted role of feet in human existence. The work situates itself within a broader literary context that interrogates the intersection of body, identity, and culture, elevating an often-overlooked subject into a profound narrative about the human experience. Joseph Sparkes Hall, a prominent thinker in the realms of anatomy and philosophy, contributes his interdisciplinary expertise to this unique volume. His background in both the sciences and humanism has equipped him with a keen sensitivity to the invisible narratives that persist beneath the surface. Hall's dedication to illuminating the human condition is evident in this work, as he seeks to connect the physicality of feet with themes of mobility, social status, and even spirituality. Readers are encouraged to delve into "The Book of the Feet" for an enlightening perspective that invites reflection on the fundamental yet often neglected aspects of our lives. This book serves not only as a scholarly resource but also offers a captivating narrative that will resonate with anyone intrigued by the deeper meanings embedded in everyday existence.

    Imagine that you are deep behind enemy lines. Your plane was shot down or perhaps you have just escaped from a prisoner of war camp. The enemy is hunting you, seeking to throw you behind barbed wire for the duration of the war. What will you do? Do you have a plan, and the skills, to make it to friendly territory? 
     
     
     
    During World War II, the Germans and Japanese held over 306,000 British and 105,000 U.S. service members as prisoners. The number of successful evaders and escapers, both U.S. and British, exceeded 35,000. Many of these were aircrew, who received intense training because of the high risk that they would have to evade or escape. This book will relate how they fared in enemy hands or managed to remain free. 
     
     
     
    This book provides a complete overview of U.S. and British escape and evasion during World War II. It tells the story of the escape and evasion organizations, the Resistance-operated lines, and the dangers faced by the escapers and the evaders in a logical and compelling narrative. Heroism, betrayal, sacrifice, and cowardice are all elements of this fascinating part of the rich tapestry of World War II.

    At age 20, Gabrielle Pelicci returned from her modeling career in NYC to her hometown of Scranton, PA where her mother suddenly passed away. At her mother’s funeral, Gabrielle had a spiritual experience that left her reeling and set her on a heroine’s journey to learn about both the scientific and mystical explanations of human consciousness. Gabrielle studied a dozen healing practices, from alternative medicine to yoga, including travel immersions in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Over the next 10 years, her complex PTSD symptoms persisted. Little by little, Gabrielle’s childhood experiences of domestic violence, and her parents’ mental illnesses and addictions are revealed. At age 30, still grieving the loss of her mother and disgusted with the fact that she can’t overcome her anxiety and depression, Gabrielle attempted to take her own life. Luckily, she survived and continued her journey of healing and trauma recovery, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a professor of Holistic Medicine, with a dissertation on Women Healers. 
    In this deeply personal and vulnerable account, Gabrielle reveals how childhood trauma impacts our physical and mental health — as well as our adult relationships. She explores how you are only as sick as your secrets and telling your story is the medicine that can save your life.  All This Healing is Killing Me is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body and celebrates one woman’s ability to write herself a happy ending.
