Sinossi

"The Useful Arts Employed in the Construction of Dwelling Houses" is a compendium that delves into the technical and practical dimensions of architectural design and construction practices during the 19th century. Its literary style is marked by an amalgamation of pragmatic instruction and theoretical discourse, reflecting the era's growing emphasis on industrialization and the application of scientific principles to domestic craftsmanship. Through a detailed exploration of materials, methods, and the aesthetic considerations of house building, the authors situate this work within the broader context of the transformative architectural movements of the period, including the Gothic Revival and the burgeoning Arts and Crafts Movement. The collaborative nature of this work showcases the contributions of several prominent figures in architecture and engineering, each driven by a shared vision to democratize architectural knowledge. These authors, influenced by the socio-economic changes of their time, aimed to elevate the domestic space by marrying functionality with elegance, responding to the needs of an expanding middle class eager for home ownership and tailored living environments. Their interdisciplinary backgrounds in engineering, design, and craftsmanship significantly inform the book's comprehensive approach. Highly recommended for students of architecture, historians of design, and anyone intrigued by the evolution of residential spaces, this book serves as a vital resource. It not only sheds light on the practical aspects of building but also provides insights into the cultural and artistic values associated with home construction, thus enriching our understanding of the socio-historical contexts that influenced domestic architecture.

Treating Traumatic Loss - A...

PhD Jamison S. Bottomley,...

Although grief and feelings of loss after the death of a loved one are natural and universal experiences, sudden, violent, and traumatic loss puts survivors at increased risk for a range of mental health problems and greatly complicates the grieving process. The Grief Recovery with Individualized Evidence-Based Formulation (GRIEF) approach is designed specifically for treating individuals suffering from the grief that results from a traumatic death, and provides a transdiagnostic, modular, and comprehensive framework to target the common underlying symptoms of PTSD, depression, and prolonged grief disorder (PGD). 
 
 
 
Treating Traumatic Loss starts with an introduction to traumatic loss and the GRIEF approach model, then guides you, step by step, through treatment planning—from conducting a thorough assessment of symptoms informed by a multicultural lens, to selecting modules for intervention. A chapter dedicated to each of eight modules provides recommendations on how to perform intervention techniques in your practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential, and narrative practices and strategies from both the trauma and grief fields are synthesized into one module-based approach that addresses the unique needs of your clients—providing a powerful, flexible, and individualized way to improve treatment outcomes.

The Adventures of Cammy Lambie -...

Mara-lee Stricker

“In this short story, you will see the tender heart of love and careful words of instruction of Mother. The law of kindness is on Mother’s tongue. She demonstrates watchful protection over Cammy and Sammy as she daily is in their presence. Parents can easily relate the mother’s heart, akin to the heart of Jesus as He is to His children. A wonderful and useful book. Had I had this book when my children were small, I certainly would have made use of it. I highly recommend this for all ages!” Patti Roberts- married homeschooling mother of seven with growing number of grand babies.“Mara-lee has given us a tremendous gift. Christians throughout history have systematically taught the faith to their children. This practice of systematic training in a catechism has become largely neglected by the Church in the last generation. Mara-lee’s hope is to bridge the gap between the old ways of training our kids up in solid doctrine, allowing them to wrestle with the deep things of God, and modern children’s story telling. I hope many find her work to be a blessing to the spiritual life of their children and a warm treasure in their home during the intimate times as the family gathers.” Pastor Jeff Durbin- married father of four, sought after for his debate skills and also the main host of ApologiaRadio.com“Mara-lee has peeked into a child’s inquiring mind and has given solid answers to questions about how to hear and respond to God’s voice. Children will love the way Cammy’s Adventures introduces them to new experiences in their lives. This delightful book will be a great tool for opening up discussions both at home and in the classroom.” Donna Lapp- married mother of 3, grandmother of 13 and great grandmother of 10. She is also a retired elementary grade school teacher.

Medical Research Methods -...

Ava Westwood

Medical research is the backbone of advancing healthcare, providing critical insights that shape clinical practices, influence public health policies, and guide the development of new treatments. The primary goal of medical research is to generate reliable and reproducible evidence that can inform decisions on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases. By understanding the methods of medical research, healthcare professionals and researchers can better evaluate, design, and implement studies that contribute to improving patient care.
The importance of research in medicine cannot be overstated, as it allows for the discovery of new knowledge, the development of innovative therapies, and the evaluation of existing medical practices. Medical research has been instrumental in reducing mortality rates, improving the quality of life, and enhancing the effectiveness of treatments. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in addressing emerging health challenges, such as pandemics, chronic diseases, and antimicrobial resistance.
At the heart of medical research are study designs, which dictate the methodology for investigating hypotheses and answering research questions. Different types of research designs are used depending on the objectives of the study, the nature of the research question, and the available resources. These designs are broadly categorized into two types: experimental and observational. Experimental designs, such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), involve the manipulation of variables to test the effects of an intervention, whereas observational designs, such as cohort or case-control studies, examine associations without direct manipulation. Each design has its strengths and limitations, and the choice of design depends on the specific research question, ethical considerations, and feasibility.
