A Dialogue with Depression : Heart/Mind Disconnect (9781532028908)

She couldn't stop it. She watched and she begged, and she got frustrated and angry; she demanded and sought support, but she couldn't stop it. She was a witness to the downward spiral, but she was helpless. But if she couldn't stop it, would it be enough to understand it? In A Dialogue with Depression, author Om Devi shares the journey through her husband's struggle with clinical depression. It is an expression of her discovered wisdom over the years of a deep emotional acknowledgement of the illness that had surrounded her. With biography and through stream of consciousness to express her observations of herself and her husband, Om Devi uses text messages, letters, diagnoses, poems, thoughts, and research to convey and illuminate the lived experience of depression.

Advertising, Sex, and Post-Socialism : Women, Media, and Femininity in the Balkans (9781498557160)

Advertising, Sex, and Post-Socialism explores the role of advertising and the consumption it promotes in changing cultural perceptions of sex and femininity across the Balkan region. Elza Ibroscheva theorizes how the marketing of gender identities that has taken place in the years of post-socialist transition has fundamentally affected the social, economic, and political positioning of women. Advertising is one of the major "factories" of cultural signification, and as such, serves as the most ubiquitous vessel of global norms of gendered selves. In addition, advertising serves as a literacy tool for learning the grammar of consumption, studying the ideologies of femininity and sex before and after the collapse of the socialist project, as well as the prevailing portrayals of femininity in advertising in present day Bulgaria. This book provides a revealing look at the mechanisms of how post-socialist norms of sexual behavior are being engendered, and what role media play in t

Meditations : The Philosophy Classic (9780857088468)

A deluxe special edition of the ancient classic written by the Roman Emperor known as "The Philosopher" Meditations is a series of personal journals written by Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome from 169 to 180 AD. The last of the "Five Good Emperors," he was the most powerful and influential man in the Western world at the time. Marcus was one of the leaders of Stoicism, a philosophy of personal ethics which sought resilience and virtue through personal action and responsibility.

Meditations is perhaps the most important source of our modern understanding of Stoic philosophy. Its twelve books chronicle different stages of Marcus Aurelius' life and ideas.

Charakterisierung von Noni- und Umbu-Zellstoffkombinationen (9786203141306)

Fruchtfleisch hat als Hauptattraktion den Geschmack und die Zusammensetzung, die reich an Vitaminen, Mineralien und antioxidativen Prinzipien ist. Die Noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) ist eine nährstoffreiche Frucht, deren Geschmack jedoch für ihre geringe Akzeptanz bekannt ist. Aufgrund dieser Besonderheit wird sie fast ausschließlich in Mischung mit Säften anderer Früchte konsumiert. Der Umbu (Spondias tuberosa Arruda Câmara) hat ein aktives zitrisches Aroma, das in Form von pulverförmigem Brei über lange Zeit unverändert bleibt. Die Kombination von Noni und Umbu ist sehr schmackhaft und attraktiv für eine gesunde Ernährung. Die Umwandlung dieser Zellstoffe in trockene, bei Raumtemperatur konservierbare Endprodukte, die rekonstituiert oder in andere Produkte eingearbeitet werden können, erfordert die Kenntnis ihrer Eigenschaften bei Wärme- und Stoffaustauschprozessen.

The Betrayal of Anne Frank : A Cold Case Investigation (9780062892355)

A New York Times Bestseller Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept... Using new technology, recently discovered documents and sophisticated investigative techniques, an international team--led by an obsessed retired FBI agent--has finally solved the mystery that has haunted generations since World War II: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why? Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teen-aged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many works--journalism, books, plays and novels--devoted to Anne's story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two years--and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door. With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators
