What You Need to Know About Cannabis: Understanding the Facts - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Working as substance misuse counsellors and educators over many years, we have gathered a wealth of experience in dealing directly with cannabis users, and others indirectly affected by its use. It has become clear to us that there is a high degree of confusion and ignorance surrounding this particular drug, perhaps more so than with some other illegal substances. There are those who wish to promote cannabis as a harmless, even beneficial substance, whilst others take the opposite view and wish the public to view cannabis as ‘devil weed’, responsible for many of society’s problems. In our view neither of these two positions is supported by the evidence cur- rently available. It is our intention in writing this book to examine and present a balanced account of the information currently available, covering as many aspects as possible, in order to provide you with what you need to know to form your own opinions about this controversial drug. We have met many cannabis users who have claimed to use the drug with no ill effects; however, in recent years much clinical research, from countries around the entire globe, has been published which draws attention to the significant links between cannabis use and a number of serious long-term mental health problems. Other research has identified a clear physical addiction and accompa- nying withdrawal syndrome of clinically important symptoms, especially in heavy users. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that a small percentage of users are more genetically susceptible to problems with the drug. With so much new information being made available, some of it apparently contradictory, we believe that a clear need exists to set out, in as easily under- standable and accessible way as possible, many of the diverse issues that have surfaced, drawing on a wide range of sources. You need to be aware that research in this field is ongoing, and further infor- mation may become available that requires a modification of that informed view. 7 Therefore, this book should not be considered as the ‘last word’ on the subject of cannabis, as knowledge is constantly increasing and evolving. Still, we hope that within these pages we have covered sufficient ground to provide you with ‘what you need to know’, and to help you arrive at your own position on this important subjec
What You Must Think of Me: A Firsthand Account of One Teenager's Experience with Social Anxiety Disorder (Adolescent Mental Health Initiative) - Original PDF

You've GOT to Read This Book! LP: 55 People Tell the Story of the Book That Changed Their Life - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This book asks a lot of questions to help you learn how to study effectively. But there are no “right” or “wrong” answers here. Every question is designed to help you discover how you learn, and to help you do more of what works for you—whether you’re reading a text, listening to a lecture, writing a paper, or preparing for a test. For example, in order to understand what you’re reading right now, you are doing something that works for you. Maybe you’re reading this out loud. Or “hearing” your voice in your head as you read this silently. Perhaps you are making pictures on paper. Maybe you’re reading this as you’re walking. You might be reading all this in an orderly way, making a kind of outline in your head as you go along. Each of these ways is a different learning style. And the early chap- ters in this book focus on helping you find your own learning style. Later chapters help you work with your learning style so you can use it more often. The icons shown to the left stand for the five learning styles you’ll find out about in this book. Once you’ve identified your learning style in Chapter 2, “Discovering How You Learn,” you can look in the later chap- ters for the icon that stands for your style to find study tips that will help you take advantage of your strength. You’re more comfortable when you’re using your own style because you’re understanding more. And when you’re comfortable, you’re more receptive—you find it easier to get involved with what you’re studying, as you’ll see in Chapter 9, “Getting Involved in Learning.” When you’re involved with what you’re studying, it doesn’t feel like work; it becomes something you enjoy. Getting satisfaction from what you’re studying requires careful planning. Dividing big jobs into little ones makes overwhelming tasks more bearable. There’s a chapter in this book on that, too. Sometimes people can’t pay close attention to their studying because something else needs to be done. Spending a few minutes on that other job before studying will ease the conscience—thus making studying more productive. Also, some people work best if they work on several things at once. Maybe you’ve heard, “Can’t you just do one thing at a time?” Well, for you perhaps the answer is, “No, I can’t. I work best if I go back and forth between two or three projects. If I try to stick to one job at a time, I get distracted and don’t work well.” Many people work best this way
He's Just Not Up for It Anymore: Why Men Stop Having Sex, and What You Can Do About It - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You know, it was hard on my ego and self-esteem when he didn’t want me sexually, because I didn’t grow up knowing there were men out there like that. (Female, 40) It was strange to me how my interest in my wife died. I consid- ered her an attractive woman, but she was always very angry. Her anger grew and grew until it became like she was actually seething whenever she looked at me. Even during all that time (twenty years) I was still attracted to her. But one day it was like a switch flipped off and I realized that I could no longer torture myself by being attracted to a woman who obviously hated me. (Man, 50s) Awoman we know once told us that although her marriage was otherwise wonderful, her husband of twelve years rarely had sex with her, and when he did, he appeared distant and detached. She felt positive he was faithful, straight, and not spending time with pornography. He just wasn’t that interested, and she was con- fused. Was this the way she wanted to live for the rest of her life?
Boundary Issues: Using Boundary Intelligence to Get the Intimacy You Want and the Independence You Need in Life, Love, and Work - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Once upon a time when there were no boundaries, so far back that we have no conscious memory of it, we were one. Infinite in time and space, floating in a blissful ocean of being. A twitch, a cough, the sen- sation of warmth or cold, a pang of thirst or hunger—was it hers or ours? It didn’t matter—there was no self for it to matter to. There was just one. We can never remember that feeling of wholeness, although mystics, artists, and lovers have tried to recapture it. But for the rest of our life, we will miss it. Emerging out of that perfect coexistence, stranded forever on the shore of separateness, we encountered the first of many boundaries that would distinguish what was Me from what was Not Me. And for the rest of our lives, we will try to understand i

The Body Has a Mind of Its Own: How Body Maps in Your Brain Help You Do (Almost) Everything Better - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In this compelling, cutting-edge book, two generations of science writers explore the exciting science of “body maps” in the brain–and how startling new discoveries about the mind-body connection can change and improve our lives. Why do you still feel fat after losing weight? What makes video games so addictive? How can “practicing” your favorite sport in your imagination improve your game? The answers can be found in body maps.Just as road maps represent interconnections across the landscape, your many body maps represent all aspects of your bodily self, inside and out. In concert, they create your physical and emotional awareness and your sense of being a whole, feeling self in a larger social world.Moreover, your body maps are profoundly elastic. Your self doesn’t begin and end with your physical body but extends into the space around you. This space morphs every time you put on or take off clothes, ride a bike, or wield a tool. When you drive a car, your personal body space grows to envelop it. When you play a video game, your body maps automatically track and emulate the actions of your character onscreen. When you watch a scary movie, your body maps put dread in your stomach and send chills down your spine. If your body maps fall out of sync, you may have an out-of-body experience or see auras around other people.The Body Has a Mind of Its Own explains how you can tap into the power of body maps to do almost anything better–whether it is playing tennis, strumming a guitar, riding a horse, dancing a waltz, empathizing with a friend, raising children, or coping with stress. The story of body maps goes even further, providing a fresh look at the causes of anorexia, bulimia, obsessive plastic surgery, and the notorious golfer’s curse “the yips.” It lends insights into culture, language, music, parenting, emotions, chronic pain, and more. Filled with illustrations, wonderful anecdotes, and even parlor tricks that you can use to reconfigure your body sense, The Body Has a Mind of Its Own will change the way you think–about the way you think.“The Blakeslees have taken the latest and most exciting finds from brain research and have made them accessible. This is how science writing should always be.”–Michael S. Gazzaniga, Ph.D., author of The Ethical Brain“Through a stream of fascinating and entertaining examples, Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee illustrate how our perception of ourselves, and indeed the world, is not fixed but is surprisingly fluid and easily modified. They have created the best book ever written about how our sense of ‘self’ emerges from the motley collection of neurons we call the brain.”–Jeff Hawkins, co-author of On Intelligence “The Blakeslees have taken the latest and most exciting finds from brain research and have made them accessible. This is how science writing should always be.”–Michael S. Gazzaniga, Ph.D., author of The Ethical Brain“A marvelous book. In the last ten years there has been a paradigm shift in understanding the brain and how its various specialized regions respond to environmental challenges. In addition to providing a brilliant overview of recent revolutionary discoveries on body image and brain plasticity, the book is sprinkled with numerous insights.”–V. S. Ramachandran, M.D., director, Center for Brain and Cognition, University of California, San Diego
The Thoreau You Don't Know: What the Prophet of Environmentalism Really Meant - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Henry David Thoreau is one of those authors that readers think they know, even if they don't. He's the solitary curmudgeon with the shack out in the woods, the mystic worshipping solemnly in the quiet church of nature. He's our national Natural Man, the prophet of environmentalism. But here Robert Sullivan—who himself has been called an "urban Thoreau" (New York Times Book Review)—presents the Thoreau you don't know: the activist, the organizer, the gregarious adventurer, the guy who likes to go camping with friends (even if they sometimes accidentally burn the woods down). Sullivan argues that Walden was a book intended to revive America, a communal work forever pigeonholed as a reclusive one, and this misreading is at the heart of our troubled relationship with the environment today. Sullivan shows us not a lonely eccentric but a man in his growing village: a man who danced and sang, who worked throughout his short life at the family pencil-making business, and moved into his parents' house after leaving Walden, but always paid his father rent. Passionate yet whimsical, The Thoreau You Don't Know asks us to re-examine our everyday relationship with the natural world, and one another.
Something to Tell You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Even now, at the end of the twentieth century, many still have difficulty standing up and saying, "I am the parent of a gay child." Something to Tell You recounts the stories of families whose lives have been touched by the discovery that a child is lesbian or gay -- how it affects and influences people's perceptions of their children and even changes the self-image of parents themselves.Focusing on fifty average families -- not people seen in clinics or therapy -- the authors found a consistent pattern of change: first negative, then positive. Sometimes the news led parents and siblings to form stronger bonds with the child, with each other, and with other relatives and friends. In many cases, their child's partner and partner's family grew to assume an important role in their own lives. In some cases, parents and siblings discovered new meaning in their lives through speaking out or joining PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) and becoming part of the struggle for lesbian and gay rights. The authors found that families committed to staying together are typically able to overcome the powerful obstacles imposed by society. Something to Tell You also shows the lasting and sometimes tragic consequences for families who falter in the process of integration. Unwilling to accept their child's sexuality, some parents sought to blame each other, and all too often their own relationships unraveled as a result. Others who failed to tell close friends sometimes lost those friends through keeping secrets. Parents who neglected to form bonds with their child's partner fostered climates of alienation that persisted for years.A richly diverse collection of family stories, Something to Tell You is a book that will help break down widespread prejudice and put an end to destructive cultural myths. It affirms families' highest aspirations toward active love for their gay children, showing the steps to take toward new levels of support, solidarity, and love.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
