It examines how different societies have historically relied on wild plants for food, medicine, and materials, highlighting the ecological knowledge that underpinned these practices. The book emphasizes that foraging is more than just a primitive skill; it's a sophisticated system of ecological understanding and cultural practice essential for sustainable living.

 
Did you know that Paleolithic societies possessed an intimate knowledge of edible and medicinal plants, forming the basis of early diets and healthcare? Or that traditional Chinese medicine has deep roots in the use of foraged medicinal herbs? 

 
The book journeys chronologically, starting with hunter-gatherer societies and moving through the development of agriculture to the impact of globalization on foraging. It also looks at the modern resurgence of interest in foraging. Through case studies from various regions, Wild Foraging illustrates the diverse ways societies have utilized wild plants, from crafting textiles to incorporating wild mushrooms into indigenous diets. It's unique in its historical perspective, focusing on the evolution of foraging and its cultural and ecological dimensions.

 
The book progresses by first introducing plant identification and ethical harvesting, then exploring case studies, and finally offering practical insights for contemporary foragers.

U.S. Army Center of Military...

World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the East Indies from 1 January to 22 July 1942. 
On 7 December 1941 Japan turned its war on the Asian mainland south and eastward into the Pacific. Attacks within hours on the Malay Peninsula, Hong Kong, Hawaii, Wake, Guam, and the Philippines not only shocked Allied governments, who believed Japanese envoys had been negotiating in good faith in Washington, but also caught them poorly prepared for war along the Asian rimlands. By the end of the day a sizable Japanese amphibious force had established itself on the Malay Peninsula; the backbone of the U.S. Pacific Fleet lay twisted and burning in the mud of Pearl Harbor; hundreds of Western aircraft sprawled crumpled on airfields and hillsides across the Central and South Pacific; and neither the British Eastern Fleet nor Royal Netherlands Navy units in the Pacific could steam safely through the Indian Ocean, around Malaya, or in the East Indies. It was imperative that the Western Powers somehow stop the Japanese southward advance, which now threatened to drive a wedge between the British in the Indian Ocean and the Americans in the Pacific, to seize the East Indies with its valuable natural resources, and to isolate Australia from both the United States and the British Commonwealth...

Adolescent Psychotherapy - A...

Bronagh Starrs

Counsellors and psychotherapists are faced with ever-increasing complexity in their work with adolescents. In this book, Bronagh Starrs offers an understanding of developmental and therapeutic process from a relational-phenomenological Gestalt perspective. 
 
 
 
Starrs shows how the adolescent's presenting symptom issues are statements of compromised life space integrity and demonstrates therapeutic sensibility to the adolescent's first-person experience. Throughout the book, the clinician is offered extensive relational and creative strategies to support integrity repair for the adolescent. The developmental impact of various life space contexts are discussed, including parental separation, complex family configuration, grief, adoption, and emerging sexual orientation and gender experience. Therapeutic responses to common creative adjustments are explored including anxiety, school refusal, depression, self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, alcohol and drug use, and sexual trauma. 
 
 
 
Adolescent Psychotherapy will help counsellors and psychotherapists to develop deeper levels of competency in their work as adolescent psychotherapists, as they navigate the complex and fascinating experience of therapy with teenagers. This exceptional contribution is suitable for both experienced practitioners and students of counselling and psychotherapy.
