The Woman Who Cracked the Anxiety Code : the extraordinary life of Dr Claire Weekes (9781912854165)

The true story of the little-known mental-health pioneer who revolutionised how we see the defining problem of our era: anxiety. Panic, depression, sorrow, guilt, disgrace, obsession, sleeplessness, low confidence, loneliness, agoraphobia ... Dr Claire Weekes knew how to treat them, but was dismissed as underqualified and overly populist by the psychiatric establishment. In a radical move, she had gone directly to the people. Her international bestseller Self Help for Your Nerves, first published in 1962 and still in print, helped tens of millions of people to overcome all of these, and continues to do so. Weekes pioneered an anxiety treatment that is now at the cutting edge of modern psychotherapies. Her early explanation of fear, and its effect on the nervous system, is state of the art. Psychologists use her method, neuroscientists study the interaction between different fear circuits in the brain, and many psychiatrists are revisiting the mind-body connection that was the hallmark ...

Turning the Tide on Plastic : How Humanity (And You) Can Make Our Globe Clean Again (9781409182993)

Enough plastic is thrown away every year to circle the world 4 times More than 8 million tonnes of plastic enter the oceans each year 300 million tonnes of new plastic is produced every year An estimated 15-51 trillion pieces of plastic now litter the world's oceans 38.5 million plastic bottles are used every day in the UK A million plastic bottles are used per minute around the world 500 million plastic straws are used per year Without big action, at the current rate, pieces of plastic will outnumber fish in the ocean by 2050. That is the legacy we are leaving our children and grandchildren. Plastic flows into our lives from every direction and most of it is not recycled. Instead it is incinerated or ends up in landfill, where it will sit for hundreds of years, or enters the world's seas where it fragments into tiny pieces to become microplastics - the environmental scourge of our times. Many of us had assumed that governments, brands and waste authorities were dealing ...

Democracy's Oxygen : How the Corporations Control the News (9781551640600)

James Winter shows that far from providing "democracy's oxygen, " the news media legitimize a fundamentally undemocratic system. Instead of keeping the public informed, news organizations manufacture public consent for policies which favour the corporate elite. The news media mythology about dedication to the public interest is contrasted with substantial evidence that the news is largely a corporate/management product. The result is "Media Think": group-think on a vast scale which pervades the media and through which they promote narrow ideological dogmas about the world around us, such as: globalization, privatization, social cuts and deficit hysteria. This book presents the hard facts that illustrate the complicity between government and corporate media interests in Canada. Product details Format ...

Pygmalion (9780141439501)

'Yes, you squashed cabbage leaf . . . you incarnate insult to the English language: I could pass you off as the Queen of Sheba' Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue, it is also a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw's feminist views. In Shaw's hands, the phoneticist Henry Higgins is the Pygmalion figure who believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a duchess at ease in polite society. The one thing he overlooks is that his 'creation' has a mind of her own. With an Introduction by NICHOLAS GRENE Product details For ages 18+ ...

The Word of God and the Words of Man : Books II and III of Richard Hooker's Laws: A Modernization (9780999552759)

Richard Hooker's Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity is one of the great landmarks of Protestant theological literature, and indeed of English literature generally. However, on account of its difficult and archaic style, it is scarcely read today. The time has come to translate it into modern English so that Hooker may teach a new generation of churchmen and Christian leaders about law, reason, Scripture, church, and politics.In this third volume of an ongoing translation project by the Davenant Institute, we present Books II-III of Hooker's Laws, comprising Hooker's treatment of Scripture's authority in relation to the authority of reason and human law. Hooker contends that although Scripture does not change, human affairs do, and so our application of Scripture to changing human societies (including the Church) requires the use of reason, prudence, and historical awareness. Scripture is our highest authority, but not the only authority that regulates human life. Perhaps ...

Excerpt from Papers on Cereal and Forage Insects: The Timothy Stem-Borer; A New Timothy Insect Thus far it has not proved a serious pest, having been found only in small numbers at any given point. In large numbers it would scarcely do any perceptible injury to the hay crop, although it could probably very materially lessen seed production. For this, as well as other reasons, it deserves more than passing notice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
