Synopsis

"The Space Race" explores the intense rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, focusing on their relentless pursuit to conquer space. This historical narrative investigates the political, social, and scientific forces driving this high-stakes competition, which culminated in the iconic moon landing. The book reveals how the Space Race became a crucial battleground reflecting each nation's ambitions and technological prowess.Central to this era was the rapid advancement in rocketry, fueled by the ideological clash between the two superpowers. It wasn't just about science; the political and propaganda objectives significantly influenced the competition. The book begins by examining early rocketry development and the influence of German scientists, then progresses through pivotal moments like the launch of Sputnik, Project Mercury, Project Gemini, and the Apollo program. It draws upon diverse evidence, including declassified documents and personal accounts, to provide a comprehensive view.By contrasting American and Soviet strategies, the book offers a valuable understanding of this transformative period in world history, highlighting the lasting impact of space exploration on communication, navigation, and environmental monitoring.

    Hard Aground brings together three intertwined stories documenting the US Navy's strategic and matériel evolution from the end of Civil War through the First World War. 
     
     
     
    The first story focuses on the reconstruction of the US Navy following the swift and near-total dismantling of the Union Navy infrastructure after the Civil War. Jampoler argues that the federal government discovered that the fleet requested by the navy, and paid for by Congress, was the wrong fleet. 
     
     
     
    The second story relates the short, tragic life of the USS Tennessee. The USS Tennessee was ordered on two unusual missions in the early months of the First World War, long before the United States formally entered the war. These little-known missions and the ship's shocking destruction in a storm surge in the Caribbean serve as the centerpiece of the story. 
     
     
     
    Jampoler rounds out this fascinating account with the story of how the USS Tennessee's destruction prompted fierce deliberations about the US Navy's operations and chains of command for the remainder of the First World War and the high-level political wrangling inside the Department of the Navy immediately after the war.

    The Life Model is a unifying approach to ministries of counseling, recovery, pastoral care, prayer ministry, deliverance, inner healing, child rearing, body life and health. Substance abuse recovery programs internationally are guided by the Life Model's five principles. Because the Life Model develops strong maturity, it is widely used as a church model, particularly where people must face suffering. Missions have adopted the Life Model for restoring hurt missionary children. Almost every major ministry dealing with trauma and abuse in the USA uses the Life Model as part of their teaching. This new version now includes study questions at the end of each chapter as well as many other bonuses. Written by James Friesen, E James Wilder, Anne Bierling, Rick Koepcke, and Maribeth Poole.

    A vital new framework for working with clients on the spectrum. 
     
     
     
    By presenting the autism diagnosis through the lens of a disordered nervous system—that is, by applying Polyvagal Theory—this book opens new avenues for intervention and treatment, while challenging age-old assumptions of what autism means and how it presents itself. 
     
     
     
    Here, Sean Inderbitzen—a therapist as well as someone living with autism—encourages clinicians to conceptualize their autistic clients' difficulties with social interactions and cognitive flexibility through a polyvagal lens. Inderbitzen argues that individuals with autism can be thought of as having deficits in accessing their ventral vagal nervous system—the system which promotes flexibility and connection to others. The book explores strategies to address these challenges through familiar tools such as motivational interviewing, clinical social work pedagogy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, mindfulness, biofeedback, and cultivating a sense of safety. Autism in Polyvagal Terms is an essential new text for anyone who works with individuals on the autism spectrum.
