Who would have thought that the discrimination of a black woman could lead to so many tragedies unfolding? This book Small Great Things tells the story of Ruth, adiscriminated black woman from the perspectives of the main characters Turk, Kennedy and Ruth herself. Ruth was relieved from her duties as a delivery nurse because of herskin colour by a White Supremacist father. The baby she was supposed to attend to died while Ruth was alone with the baby in the bursary and this led to a court case that would teach us lessons aboutempathy, forgiveness and love.

"Some lessons can't be taught. They simply have to be learned." – Jodi Picoult
This incident has not only affected Ruth's life but also the people around her, especially her son, Edison. However, with empathy, forgiveness and love, all things canheal. Racism comes in many forms; active racism, passive racism and even when we are being overly nice to the minority groups.
P.S. Small Great Things is an important novel that not only sheds light on discrimination that people of colour face but also teaches us important values in life that we must keep close to our hearts.

Quantum Psychology

Introbooks Team

Who are we? Where we came from? Where are we going? Here are some questions that carry throughout life and are more present from the metanoia (or second half of life) - Greek word that has two roots: meta, which means both "significant change" and "beyond," derived from nous, a word of multiple and complex meanings, including "higher consciousness" - when man begins to wonder about the meaning of life, in search of spirituality. Respond to them has been the great challenge of science, performing research and studies in an attempt to clarify such mysteries. 
What brought this work can not carry the truth claim, but is only an understanding of reality mode. Nothing I can say about the origin or purpose of man since the process still takes place, that is, there is always a "being" (becoming, coming-to-be), a processing that seems to have to do with what Jung called "individuation" - or principle individuation - which is to carry out or consciously realize the full potential of each. What is up with this work is only the communication of compliance.

Investigating the Supernatural -...

Sofie Lachapelle

“A convincing account of science’s flirtation with the marginal and the marvelous” from the author of Conjuring Science (Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences). 
 
Séances were wildly popular in France between 1850 and 1930, when members of the general public and scholars alike turned to the wondrous as a means of understanding and explaining the world. Sofie Lachapelle explores how five distinct groups attempted to use and legitimize séances: spiritists, who tried to create a new “science” concerned with the spiritual realm and the afterlife; occultists, who hoped to connect ancient revelations with contemporary science; physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists, who developed a pathology of supernatural experiences; psychical researchers, who drew on the unexplained experiences of the public to create a new field of research; and metapsychists, who attempted to develop a new science of yet-to-be understood natural forces. 
 
An enlightening and entertaining narrative that includes colorful people like “Allan Kardec”—a pseudonymous former mathematics teacher from Lyon who wrote successful works on the science of the séance and what happened after death—Investigating the Supernatural reveals the rich and vibrant diversity of unorthodox beliefs and practices that existed at the borders of the French scientific culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 
 
“What is science? . . . In her engaging book, Sophie Lachapelle probes for an answer by looking at the liminal realm between science and superstition and the attempt to render the supernatural explicable in naturalistic terms.” —Isis 
 
“A welcome addition to the growing literature on spiritism, occultism and physical research in modern France.” —French History
