Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: vincible: a. capable of being overcome or subdued; conquered.] Episode Three: Sydney Every story contains faces on the fringes. Those on the outside looking in. Observers who seem to have no power or influence. They're just along for the ride. Or are they? They're people like Sydney. A castaway loner at 14, a girl nobody ever wanted, Sydney keeps a go bag, her runaway kit, under her bed. She spends her life in support of others because she's too scared that if she takes any kind of responsibility, she'll screw things up. After all, that's how her birth father raised her. Sydney’s sisters Greye and Nika are both missing. The police are asking questions, and her answers aren't satisfactory. Sydney can sense time is running short, that she's stuck between the cops, Miss Ivy--her terrible foster mom, and this nameless evil that seems to be picking off her sisters one by one. In the end, Sydney is going to have to make a choice she never wanted to make. If she runs, will she get anywhere, or will she only be making things worse? Most important, will the sale of her soul be worth whatever pittance she gets in return? Will the fulfillment of a dream look more like a nightmare? Sydney's world might just collide into another she never imagined could be true.

Those on the outside looking in. Observers who seem to have no power or influence. They're just along for the ride. Or are they? They're people like Anna. She lost the gift of her sight at age ten, when her life took a turn for the worse, in the direction of her wicked foster mom, Miss Ivy. That was four years ago. Still, it was all pretty much bearable because of her sisters, Greye, Nika, and Sydney. But now all three of them are gone. So what about Anna? She knows Greye would dig into the headlines and make the necessary deductions. Nika would take the lead and get them moving in a direction by hook or by crook. And Sydney would add that all-important fifth element by encouraging and supporting every one of them. But what can Anna do? She's just a girl, at the mercy of her antagonists because of her blindness. It is a crippling liability. Or is it? Anna's world is about to change forever. When there are no heroes left, those to whom the sword falls become the most unlikely candidates in the war for all that is good. Will Anna be more than what she's ever known? Will she be... invincible?

Download or read book Napoleon s Egypt written by Juan Cole and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this vivid and timely history, Juan Cole tells the story of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. Revealing the young general's reasons for leading the expedition against Egypt in 1798 and showcasing his fascinating views of the Orient, Cole delves into the psychology of the military titan and his entourage. He paints a multi-faceted portrait of the daily travails of the soldiers in Napoleon's army, including how they imagined Egypt, how their expectations differed from what they found, and how they grappled with military challenges in a foreign land. Cole ultimately reveals how Napoleon's invasion, the first modern attempt to invade the Arab world, invented and crystallized the rhetoric of liberal imperialism.
Download or read book Weary Warriors written by Pamela Moss and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen in military documents, medical journals, novels, films, television shows, and memoirs, soldiers’ invisible wounds are not innate cracks in individual psyches that break under the stress of war. Instead, the generation of weary warriors is caught up in wider social and political networks and institutions—families, activist groups, government bureaucracies, welfare state programs—mediated through a military hierarchy, psychiatry rooted in mind-body sciences, and various cultural constructs of masculinity. This book offers a history of military psychiatry from the American Civil War to the latest Afghanistan conflict. The authors trace the effects of power and knowledge in relation to the emotional and psychological trauma that shapes soldiers’ bodies, minds, and souls, developing an extensive account of the emergence, diagnosis, and treatment of soldiers’ invisible wounds.

Download or read book Critical Path written by R. Buckminster Fuller and published by Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller. This book was released on 1982-02-15 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The masterwork of a brilliant career, and an important document of the crisis now facing mankind. Today we find ourselves in the midst of the greatest crisis in the history of the human race. Technology has placed in our hands almost unlimited power at the very moment when we have run up against the limits of our resources aboard Spaceship Earth, as the crises of the late twentieth century—political, economic, environmental, and ethical—determine whether or not humanity survives. In this masterful summing up of an entire lifetime’s thought and concern, R. Buckminster Fuller addresses these crucial issues in his most significant, accessible, and urgent work. Critical Path traces the origins and evolution of humanity’s social, political, and economic systems from the obscure mists of prehistory, through the development of the great political empires, to the vast international corporate and political systems that control our destiny today to show how we got to our present situation and what options are available to man. With his customary brilliance, extraordinary energy, and unlimited devotion, Bucky Fuller shows how mankind can survive, and how each individual can respond to the unprecedented threat we face today. The crowning achievement of an extraordinary career, Critical Path offers the reader the excitement of understanding the essential dilemmas of our time and how responsible citizens can rise to meet this ultimate challenge to our future.
Download or read book The Postnormal Times Reader written by Ziauddin Sardar and published by International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IIIT Books-In-Brief Series is a valuable collection of the Institute’s key publications written in condensed form to give readers a core understanding of the main contents of the original. Postnormal times are best defined as ‘an in-between period where old orthodoxies are dying, new ones have yet to be born, and very few things seem to make sense’. or, as Ezio Mauro puts it: ‘we are hanging between the “no longer” and the “not yet” and thus we are necessary unstable –nothing around us is fixed, not even our direction of travel.’ The postnormal times theory attempts to make sense of a rapidly changing world, where uncertainty is the dominant theme and ignorance has become a valuable community. The Postnormal Times Reader is a pioneering anthology of writings on the contradictory, complex and chaotic nature of our era. It covers the origins, theory and methods of postnormal times; and examines a host of issues, ranging from climate change, governance, Middle East to religion and science, from the perspective of postnormal times. By mapping some of the key local and global issues of our transitional age, the Reader suggests a way of navigating our turbulent futures.

Download or read book The Concept of Defense Mechanisms in Contemporary Psychology written by Uwe Hentschel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the scientific status and the "truth value" of the concept of defense mechanisms? Among contemporary psychologists, three types of answers to this question may be expected. Some would wholeheartedly endorse the theoretical, clinical, and research value of this notion; others would reject it outright. Between these two extremes, a large number of observers, perhaps the majority, would suspend their judgment. Their attitude, compounded of hope and doubt, would capitalize on defense as an interesting and promising concept. At the same time, these psy chologists would express skepticism and disappointment over its clinical limitations, theoretical ambiguity, and research failures. The present volume is primarily addressed to the audience of hopeful skeptics-those who have not given up on the notion of defense, yet have been frustrated by the difficulties of incorporating it into the modern, streamlined structure of psychology. To this end, we have brought together theoretical and empirical contributions germane to defense together with reports about their applications to clinical and personality assessment, especially in relation to psychopathology, psychosomatics, and psycho therapeutic intervention.
