Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The treatment of personality disorders has advanced enormously in recent decades. These disorders have gone from being considered as untreatable problems to an active area of interest in psychology and psychiatry. Recent new developments geared specifically toward people with personality disorders offer promising perspectives. This book by Dolores Mosquera, already a classic in the area of personality disorders in Spain, has contributed to this changing perspective. Its title poses a revolutionary metaphor for patients and therapists. The mental image of the problems of those dealing with borderline personality might look like a maze or a mess in which they feel stuck, or like something dark and thick from which they have trouble escaping. Readers of this book find a new image of a diamond in the rough, with the understanding that a bright and extremely solid crystal with unique features, is hiding inside. The text of Rough Diamonds, helps people with BPD understand their problem, be aware of the origins, and understand the possible routes to finding a different way of functioning. This is not a simple compilation of theories, but a new way to understand how BPD patterns are generated and maintained. The text also outlines the path of recovery and the different possibilities of treatment.

Book excerpt: Solider, politician, miner, pioneer, scion of the President, William Stephen Hamilton led a prolific life.Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton examines the tumultuous early Republic period of American history through the life of Alexander Hamilton's son. Born in New York in 1797, the fifth son of President Alexander Hamilton, he was only six when his father was infamously killed in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. After resigning from West Point, Hamilton moved to frontier Illinois in 1817. The famous name of Hamilton that may have acquired him rank and prestige at one time was meaningless in a Midwestern frontier society driven by the Jacksonians. Yet, despite being hurled into a clash of economic, political, and cultural cultures, Hamilton determined to live his life by his own rules. A veteran of the Winnebago and Black Hawk Wars, Hamilton was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives before moving to the Wisconsin territory, where he founded the mining town of Hamilton's Diggings (Wiota, WI). When gold was discovered in California in 1948, he traveled west, where he would die in Sacramento in 1850. In Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton, author A. K. Fielding expands the story of the Hamilton family. Hamilton's life offers a first-hand account of the formation of the Midwestern states, the realities of life on the frontier, and mass migration caused by the California Gold Rush.

This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Dr. Wilfried R. Vanhonacker's Rough Diamonds: "The future of formal education is about enabling and supporting lifelong learning." Today, formal education is not focused on learning. Instead, it is focused on efficient delivery. It has become a machine that increasingly shuns its core responsibilities. Reality is about to hold it to account. In the twenty-first century, technology is changing at an exponential pace. The knowledge that students gain during their formal education is becoming outdated more rapidly. Without a passion for learning and without a basis and support for continued learning, they can write off their future. In Rough Diamonds, Dr. Wilfried R. Vanhonacker offers personal observations that challenge every aspect of formal education, all with the aim to inspire thoughts on a new paradigm for education and to amplify the momentum for change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In life, you will most likely regret that you didn't do more of what you love. You will likely feel as though you spent your professional life getting up, going to the office and living the same day over and over, week after week, year after year, decade after decade.

You have it within your power to do more and be more, and I'm going to give you the tools to start. This is your opportunity to change your destiny, so you are the statistical anomaly - the Rough Diamond - who shines bright, even if unpolished, and savours each day for the opportunity it presents to innovate, connect and disrupt the status quo.

Download or read book Diamonds in the Rough written by D. Bruce Means and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the monograph of the eastern diamondback rattlesnake by D. Bruce Means. Its publication is a culmination of over 40 years of long-term, in-depth study of the world's largest rattlesnake, Crotalus adamanteus. In the preface Means writes, "The limited biological knowledge available for this species is all the more amazing when one considers the economic impact of Crotalus adamanteus. Because of its large size and highly toxic venom, it is arguably the most dangerous venomous snake in the United States and Canada, accounting for more human mortality than any other species (Klauber 1972; Parrish 1980). Its ecological importance may be even more significant, however. The eastern diamondback is a major predator of the cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), a significant crop pest that is probably the most abundant rodent in the southeastern United States (Lowery 1974). Moreover, the eastern diamondback, which weighs up to about thirteen pounds (5.9 kilograms), is the largest cold-blooded terrestrial vertebrate living in the temperate zones of the earth (Means 1985)."

Download or read book The Useful Knowledge of William Hutton written by Susan E. Whyman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Useful Knowledge of William Hutton shows the rapid rise of a self-taught workman and the growing prominence of the city of Birmingham during the two major events of the eighteenth-century - the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment. Hutton achieved wealth, land, status, and literary fame, but later became a victim of violent riots. The book boldly claims that an understanding of the Industrial Revolution requires engagement with the figure of the 'rough diamond', a person of worth and character, but lacking in manners, education, and refinement. A cast of unpolished entrepreneurs is brought to life as they drive economic and social change, and improve their towns and themselves. The book also contends that the rise of Birmingham cannot be understood without accepting that its vibrant cultural life was a crucial factor that spurred economic growth. Readers are plunged into a hidden provincial world marked by literacy, bookshops, printing, authorship, and the spread of useful knowledge. We see that ordinary people read history and wrote poetry, whilst they grappled with the effects of industrial change. Newly discovered memoirs reveal social conflict and relationships in rare detail. They also address the problems of social mobility, income inequality, and breath-taking technological change that continue to perplex us today.
