Synopsis

"Touch and Meaning" presents a comprehensive exploration of physical touch's vital role in human development, relationships, and psychological well-being. Drawing from neuroscience, developmental psychology, and anthropological research, the book reveals how this fundamental sense shapes our mental health and social connections from infancy through adulthood. Through extensive clinical studies and research findings, it demonstrates how tactile experiences influence everything from early childhood development to adult emotional regulation and social bonding.

 


 
The book progresses logically through three key areas: the developmental significance of touch in infant-caregiver relationships, its role in adult relationships and social bonding, and its therapeutic applications in clinical settings. Notable research findings include studies of touch-deprived orphans and measurements of cortisol levels in response to supportive touch, highlighting the biological importance of physical contact. The work particularly emphasizes how modern society's increasing digitalization has created a "touch deficit" with measurable psychological consequences.

 


 
Written in an accessible yet academically rigorous style, the book bridges multiple disciplines while offering practical guidelines for incorporating appropriate touch in various contexts. It addresses contemporary challenges in maintaining healthy touch boundaries and adapting touch-based therapies across different populations and cultural norms. What sets this work apart is its comprehensive integration of scientific research with practical applications, making it valuable for both professionals in mental health and education as well as individuals seeking to understand the science behind human connection.

    Historian Joe A. Mobley recounts events in the Carolinas from prehistory and the first settlement by colonists through North Carolina's emergence as a state in a new, democratic nation. The history of North Carolina began before the first European explorers gazed upon its shores. Its Native inhabitants had long dominated the land and waterways. Before the colonial era ended vast numbers of English, Scottish, Swiss, Germans, French, Welsh and Africans had immigrated to North Carolina, pushing Native Americans to the margins and leaving their mark on the culture of the colony. In some ways, colonial North Carolina was unique in the early American experience. The peculiar configuration of the Outer Banks limited its commercial opportunities, but the colony was very much a part of the Atlantic world.

    Hate and Reconciliation -...

    Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
     
     
     
    Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.

    Break Free From What Holds You Back 
    Ever felt trapped by your own mind? Like your thoughts are quicksand pulling you deeper the more you struggle? You're not alone. 
    This audiobook speaks to anyone who knows what it's like when anxiety takes the wheel or when memories hijack your peace. It's for people who've tried "just thinking positive" and found it doesn't touch the real issues. 
    What you'll get: 
    •	Real talk about a therapy approach that doesn't promise to eliminate your difficult thoughts, but shows you something better - how to live fully even with them 
    •	A straightforward way to figure out what actually matters to you (not what you think should matter) 
    •	Specific help for OCD and PTSD that goes beyond the standard advice 
    •	Simple practices you can actually fit into your life 
    Who needs this: 
    •	If you're tired of being ruled by "what if" thoughts that spiral out of control 
    •	If traumatic experiences still color your world years later 
    •	If you've built your life around avoiding discomfort, only to find your world getting smaller 
    •	If therapy has helped but you want tools for the spaces between sessions 
    •	If you work in mental health and want fresh perspectives for your clients 
    The techniques shared here come from real clinical work with real people. They're explained in everyday language with examples that might make you think, "that's exactly how it feels." 
    Listen while driving, doing dishes, or before sleep. The beauty of these approaches is they don't require perfect focus or hours of meditation. Small shifts add up. Little moments of awareness create space for change. 
    This audiobook doesn't promise to fix you, because you're not broken. It offers a way to stop fighting yourself and start moving toward the life you want - even with uncertainty, even with difficult feelings, even with an imperfect mind.

    Each of us is a conscious individual living in the world. Very occasionally we have experiences so bizarre we have difficulty understanding what occurred. The Lantern in the Skull explores a selection of these unsettling yet intriguing experiences. 
    A camera previously in perfect working order which inexplicably won’t photograph fetishes in an African village chief’s basement provides the first step on Hugh Major’s engaging survey. Using his own experiences as a springboard, he considers telepathy, psychic perceptions, psychedelic insights, artistic transports, near death experiences and much else. 
    The nature of consciousness itself is a conundrum, and the evidence for marginal experiences remains contentious. Hugh Major provides  timely snapshot of current research into ‘marginal zones of the extraordinary.’ In precise, jargon-free language, he indicates the territory being explored and outlines major directions researchers are travelling. There are many captivating and surprising discoveries along the way. 
    Dean Radin PhD, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in the US, says: 
    “The Lantern in the Skull offers an engaging meditation on consciousness, that clear light that seemingly lives inside your head, stubbornly resisting materialistic explanations. Author Hugh Major provides a clearly written and well-informed study of the increasingly critical need to see beyond a simple clockwork model of reality.”

    In Deliberative Policymaking, Elizabeth Grant advances a fresh framework for making collective decisions about US schools. Grant argues that education policy can be made better by improving education policymaking methods. Informed by accounts of policymaking actions as well as her own experience, she offers a keen assessment of which components of existing education policy and policymaking have been effective and which have not. 
     
     
     
    Grant presents new approaches to the craft of policymaking. She endorses policy design thinking, including user-centered design; greater attention to education statecraft, such as reinforcing federal-state relations; and partnering with intermediaries who can help policymakers determine where the public interest lies. She underscores how these practices support democratized policymaking and implementation, which can lead to more inclusive, equitable policy. 
     
     
     
    Grant notes that the success of policy work depends on civic capacity to initiate and sustain improvement efforts, and on policy's ability to meet the demands of the time. This book is essential for anyone who makes policy or is interested in education reform.
