Download or read book Tempered Illusions written by Whitney Hill and published by Benu Media. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arden Finch’s big dreams for her future risk becoming nightmares. After stopping the Wild Hunt and preventing the end of the world, Arden thought she could take a break. But the mundane backlash against supernaturals is getting worse, and Otherside abhors a power vacuum. When someone dumps a vampire-bitten corpse at the North Carolina governor’s mansion, tensions boil over. With rioting humans on one side and invading vampires on another, Arden must decide how far she’ll go to secure her authority as Arbiter. A step in the wrong direction will bring war to the Triangle and threaten everything Arden has built. And with the trickster gods stirring, all her illusions about power will be tested to see if they can stand the weight of this new world—or if they’ll shatter under the pressure. Arden, Troy, Maria, and your other favorites are back in the first book of the Shadows of Otherside Trickster Cycle. The stakes are higher and the danger is greater than ever before, forcing Arden to lean into new powers and leave the Triangle to deal with new threats. This book is set a year after the epilogue in Eternal Huntress and continues Arden Finch's story in the Otherside universe. If you'd like to start at the beginning of the series, read Elemental.

Download or read book Temporal Gifts written by Whitney Hill and published by Benu Media. This book was released on 2023-07-02 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes taking the high road isn’t an option. The elven summit taught Arden Finch one thing: that some people only respond to tough consequences. It’s not the way she wants to rule, but securing her territory and her home comes first—especially when werewolf blood finds its way into human hands. Now Arden must tackle the threat the mundanes have become, even if it exposes her true power to the Bureau for Supernatural Investigation. When she’s also forced to confront betrayal from her own people, the fallout is deadly. All that would be difficult enough on its own, but both Arden’s magic and the trickster gods are making more trouble for her. Hell breaks loose like never before, leaving Arden to face her greatest challenge since the Wild Hunt. Content warnings: This book contains strong physical violence and gore, on-page death, swearing, slurs (not toward any real racial or ethnic group/identity), alcohol use, knife violence, threat of sexual violence, mention of past abuse by a guardian, threats by law enforcement, blood-drinking, and consensual on-page sex scenes.

Download or read book The Self Interdisciplinary Approaches written by Jaine Strauss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A truly remarkable explosion of interest in the self has taken place in the past two decades, in psychology and related disciplines. This book presents a wide range of recent work on the self, from self-awareness in chimpanzees to multiple-personality disorders, self-esteem in adolescents, as well as fundamental issues going back to the work of James, Cooley and others. Three main groups or clusters of themes emerge. The first cluster consists of chapters that discuss the organization and coherence of the self; the second one deals with self-awareness and self-deception; and the third one examines, in new ways, the question of the relationship between self and other. While it is difficult to predict exactly where future work on the self will lead scholars, this work points in some significant directions and provides a firm reference in the field.

Download or read book Faith Without Illusions written by Andrew Byers and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cynicism has become almost a cliché. It pervades the culture and defines the age--and threatens to derail faith. Andrew Byers identifies the primary factors in the church that inspire disillusionment rather than faith, but he goes beyond that to help struggling cynics channel their frustrations into the redemptive vocations found in the Bible: the prophet, the sage, the tragic poet. These all find their fulfillment in Jesus, and he in turn inspires cynics from the apostle Paul to you and me to embrace our saintly calling--hopeful realism.

Download or read book Illusion written by Michael Jacobs and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ways we know, think and believe about a whole variety of key areas - different forms of discourse, psychotherapy as well as religion - have much more in common than is usually perceived. Through a series of fascinating parallels running across different disciplines, Jacobs demonstrates the possible analysis of modes of thinking and belief - from intuitive pre-thinking, through authoritative-driven thinking and belief, and personal and polymathic knowledge, to unknowing, the last concept being one that is shared by Bion, Winnicott and major mystical tradition. Using this theoretical model the book provides a map to how clients and indeed therapists might think and believe, suggesting ways in which they may be supported as they shift through different modes, with all the anxiety that disillusionment brings.

Download or read book The Last Illusion written by Herman Ganzevoort and published by University of Calgary Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, information about Dutch immigration to Canada has been scarce as much was lost during the German occupation of Holland during World War II. However, Herman Ganzevoort was able to unearth and translate rare letters and articles written by Dutch immigrants during the 1920s, which offer new insight into the struggles the Dutch faced to fit into their new country. The letters opened up the inner dimensions of the immigrants: the reasons for their emigration, their hopes, their fears, and, best of all, their experiences in Canada. These images are not reminiscences screened and filtered by the passage of time but are immediate and compelling. The writers of The Last Illusion: Letters from Dutch Immigrants in the "Land of Opportunity" 1924-1930 shared their feelings and showed an openness that was uncommon in their culture and time. Their words describe the pain caused by separation and loss, and the sense of shared joy and exhilaration when goals were reached.
