  In this lively and entertaining work, Witold Rybczynski—hailed as "one of the best writers on design working today" by Publishers Weekly—tells the story of the most distinctive cars in history and the artists, engineers, dreamers, and gearheads who created them. Delving into more than 170 years of ingenuity in design, technology, and engineering, he takes us from Carl Benz's three-wheel motorcar in 1855 to the present-day shift to electric cars. Along the way, he looks at the emergence of mass production with Henry Ford's Model T; the Golden Age of American car design and the rise of car culture; postwar European subcompacts typified by the Mini Cooper; and the long tradition of the streamlined and elegant sports car. 
   
   
   
  Rybczynski explores how cars have been reflections of national character (the charming Italian Fiat Cinquecento), icons of a subculture (the VW bus for American hippies), and even emblems of an era (the practical Chrysler minivan). He explains key developments in automotive technology, including the electric starter, rack-and-pinion steering, and disc brakes, bringing to light how the modern automobile is the result of more than a century of trial and error. And he weaves in charming accounts of the many cars he's owned and driven, starting with his first—the iconic Volkswagen Beetle. The Driving Machine is a fascinating history of design.

  Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery.
   
  At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?
   
  They Had Names is the result of a multi-year deep dive into genetics, indigenous histories, archaeology, and linguistics—an ambitious quest to uncover answers to these questions.
   
  In this book, you will explore pre-Columbian links between civilizations of the Old World and civilizations of the New. You’ll read about unexpected connections between Mexico and tribes north of the Rio Grande. You’ll also discover that ancient ruins from North American civilizations still exist, that these ruins tell dramatic stories, and that they can still be visited today.
   
  On this continent, peoples and kingdoms rose and fell, great battles were fought, heroes were enshrined—heroes whose names have been preserved.

  Neurofeedback For Trauma - Past...

  It's not clear how change will come, but it's clear that change is coming. The current paradigms of treating mental health fall short. 
  The psychiatric view of mental health disorders as imbalances in brain chemistry treated by medication fails to address the root cause. 
  The psychological view of mental health disorders as learned behavioural issues has severe limitations. Psychosocial therapies that require the trauma to be reimagined (talking therapies, EMDR) are ineffective for many traumatised children, adolescents and adults. 
  Neurofeedback therapy reaches the parts other therapies cannot reach. It works at the physiological level first, building the scaffolding for psychological change. 
  The challenge has been understanding, adopting and scaling this obscure approach. 
  Stuart Black explains how these challenges can be addressed, makes the case for Neurofeedback for trauma, and describes how you can incorporate Neurofeedback therapy into your service.

  My Dawah Letter to Psychiatrists...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  Have you ever wondered if your psychiatric diagnosis is treating symptoms of spiritual crisis rather than mental illness? What if the mental health crisis that changed your life wasn't a chemical imbalance at all, but a spiritual battle that psychiatry refuses to acknowledge? This heartful academic testimony challenges everything you thought you knew about mental illness, religious practice, and the hidden assumptions behind psychiatric diagnoses. 
   
  Can psychiatry truly be professionally unprejudiced when it denies the existence of God, Prophethood, Divine Revelation, Angels, Demons, Magic, and spiritual realities? This book will challenge mental health professionals to examine the hidden religious assumptions in their supposedly secular practice, and offer hope to anyone who's been told their spiritual beliefs are symptoms of illness. Through extensive psychoanalysis, prophetic evidence, sociological historical facts and brutally honest self-examination, the author invites mental health professionals to reconsider the foundations of their practice and explore whether Islamic spiritual treatment offers answers that pharmaceutical intervention and secular psychotherapy cannot provide. If you've ever questioned whether psychiatry truly understands the human soul, this book provides answers you won't find in any DSM manual. 
   
  "My Dawah Letter to Psychiatrists and Therapists" offers a perspective on mental health that you've never encountered-one that challenges the very foundations of secular psychiatry while offering hope for complete healing through Islamic spiritual development. Whether you're a mental health professional questioning your field's limitations, a religious person who's been pathologized for your beliefs, or someone seeking answers beyond pharmaceutical intervention, this book will transform how you understand the relationship between faith, mental health, and human growth.
