  Understanding the Paradox of Surviving Childhood Trauma offers clinicians a new framework for understanding the symptoms and coping mechanisms displayed by survivors of childhood abuse. This approach considers how characteristics such as suicidality, self-harm, persistent depression, and anxiety can have roots in behaviors and beliefs that helped patients survive their trauma. This book provides practitioners with case examples, practical tips, and techniques for applying this mindset directly to their most complex cases. By depathologizing patients' experiences and behaviors, and moving beyond simply managing them, therapists can reduce their clients' shame and work collaboratively to understand the underlying message that these behaviors conceal.

  The First Emperor 
   
   
   
  In 1974, Chinese peasants made the discovery of the century . . . Thousands of terracotta soldiers guarding the tomb of a tyrant. 
   
   
   
  Ying Zheng was born to rule the world, claiming descent from gods, crowned king while still a child. He was the product of a heartless, brutal regime devoted to domination, groomed from an early age to become the First Emperor of China after a century of scheming by his ancestors. 
   
   
   
  He faked a foreign threat to justify an invasion. He ruled a nation under twenty-four-hour surveillance. He ordered his interrogators to torture suspects. He boiled his critics alive. He buried dissenting scholars. He declared war on death itself. 
   
   
   
  Jonathan Clements uses modern archaeology and ancient texts to outline the First Emperor's career and the grand schemes that followed unification: the Great Wall that guarded his frontiers and the famous Terracotta Army that watches over his tomb. 
   
   
   
  This revised edition includes updates from a further decade of publications, archaeology and fictional adaptations, plus the author's encounter with Yang Zhifa, the man who discovered the Terracotta Army.

  A critical analysis of how social and academic discourses treat disability and how they affect disabled lives.“This book breathes the poetics of disability life, a life that is consistently under threat, in a way that is complex, clear, highly accessible, and grounded in the politics of everyday life. For this reason, it may not be just that this book is highly teachable (which it is); this is a book that must be included in any disability studies, queer theory, and feminist theory curricula.” —Canadian Journal of Disability StudiesIn Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.“Feminist, Queer, Crip makes significant contributions to our understanding of how disability works in the world, contributions that no other academic book in the recently emergent field of interdisciplinary disability studies has done so thoroughly.”―Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies“Ambitious, doggedly interdisciplinary, and accessibly written. It retains political sharpness while remaining determinedly optimistic about queer/crip futures.”―QED“Kafer interrogates the ableist assumptions that pervade social and academic discourses and offers a critique of how these assumptions are put into practice in ways that directly affect the lives of people with disabilities. This is an original and comprehensive work that brings together disability studies, feminist theory, and queer theory.”―Licia Carlson, Providence College

  JFK Assassination - What They...

  "JFK Assassination—What They Told Me" unveils a treasury of knowledge crafted by William Holiday, a dedicated educator with a passion for unraveling the truths behind the JFK assassination. In this book lies an extensive compendium of photographs, film segments, interviews, recordings, and documents, offering listeners a journey through the event's multifaceted dimensions. 
  A career educator, not a traditional researcher, William Holiday spent over five decades sharing his profound insights with students. From his years at Dummerston Elementary School to Brattleboro Union High School, and through his tenure at Keene State College and Castleton University, he fostered intellectual growth. His teachings on the JFK assassination, which spanned more than 50 years, extended most recently to the CALL Program at Keene State, where his classes often involved field studies in Dallas, Texas. 
  Notably, Holiday refrains from adopting the labels of "conspiracy theorist" or a staunch advocate of the "lone nut assassin" theory endorsed by the Warren Commission. Instead, he serves as a conduit for the firsthand accounts he has accumulated over time. The witnesses he introduces, ranging from researchers to doctors, provide unique perspectives that challenge conventional narratives. The book echoes the voices of those who were on the scene, including a young lady, an ambulance driver, an automobile salesman, and a deaf observer—all of whom recount their experiences in Dealey Plaza on November 22. 
  PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
