Download or read book The Flat Plateau written by Jonathan Gair and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the Indian mahout who, in the severest of weather, might feel compelled to invite his normally reserved and hard-working elephant into the family living room. Albeit free from having food snatched from over their shoulders, the people of the Far North Queensland town of Criterion had existed quite happily at the foot of the Flat Plateau barely mindful of its presence. But after ridiculous realty offers made by some holidaying Victorians saw a brief halt to the original graziers and farmers strict “no spontaneous dancing” policy, the locals began to disregard the white-iced, chocolate cake first sight that was their founding fathers initial impression. In favour of seeing White and Black peaks, not as birthday candles with lighted wicks, but canine teeth and The Flat Plateau as one enormous beastie’s lower jaw. To this day Victorians holiday in Queensland, on this occasion at least some did not return.

Download or read book Saltwater Girl written by C.S. Hagen and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel by C.S. Hagen is both an unexpected love story in a time and place of great violence and prejudice and a stirring tale of a man running from his past who challenges the British opium monopoly in China known as the Combination. Saltwater Girl is set during the Boxer Rebellion (1900) - an anti-imperialist struggle waged by North China's commoners clinging to ancient mystic beliefs against a decadent Qing Dynasty and foreign aggression. Set in colorful strokes against a broad historical canvas including the Western nations vying for China's treasures, one man - James Innocent - disguised as a Lutheran reverend and AWOL from the US First Marine Corps, delves deeply into the opium trade in an attempt to destroy the Combination's powerful consortium. From inside the port city Tientsin (Tianjin) where foreigners and Celestials (locals) are divided into two parts, two wars emerge - the war against opium and the war against aggression. The Reverend not only finds his own life in danger , but struggles against falling for a Saltwater Girl - a river prostitute - who he believes may be his only friend. Filled with sensual imagery amidst breathtaking devastation and beauty, the Saltwater Girl is a rare look into colonial and Chinese history, the clash of cultures and the ravages the opium trade brought to the Asian masses.

Download or read book Verbal and Non Verbal Communication in Psychotherapy written by Gill Westland and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implicit communications analyzed alongside verbal communication in therapy. Body language, facial expression, and tone of voice are key components in therapeutic interactions, but for far too long psychotherapists have dismissed them in favor of purely verbal information. In Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication in Psychotherapy, Gill Westland examines the interrelation of the verbal and the non-verbal in the context of clients and therapists working together. The physiology of communication is also discussed: from overwhelming emotions that make it difficult to speak to breath awareness that makes it easier. Therapists will be able to cultivate non-verbal communication through mindfulness practices and “right brain to right brain communication.” It is not just the client’s actions and emotions that are significant; it is important that therapists relate in a way that makes it clear to their clients that they are receptive and inviting, and Westland expertly depicts the bodily dimensions of this encounter between client and therapist. The book brings together insights from a range of psychotherapeutic traditions, including psychoanalysis, arts psychotherapies, humanistic psychotherapy, and, in particular, body psychotherapy, for clinicians who want to expand their communication abilities. Drawing on 30 years of clinical experience, and providing illustrative clinical vignettes, Westland has written a guide both for those who might not have any experience in the theory of non-verbal communications and for lifelong psychotherapy practitioners. She lays as groundwork recent research into the neurobiology of interaction and the foundations of non-verbal communication in babyhood, continuing throughout from a bodymind perspective that pays due attention to the physicality of the body. Westland urges therapists to learn how to leave their comfort zone and try new ways of helping their clients. Writing in a richly evocative, lucid language, Westland seeks to bring about change in both psychotherapist and client as they navigate both the verbal and non-verbal aspects of embodied relating.

Coffman comes home from the war a paraplegic. He owes his life to his Corporal. One day he learns on the news of Spaarkess possible involvement with the left-wing group. He believes she is guilty. Chauncy chooses to give her the benefit of the doubt. He refuses to believe a woman that beautiful could be a fugitive. Agent of Orange is the story of a Rheinlandbastard.

It leads him to the Bahamas where he takes an orphaned boy back to Florida. Fate leads him on a series of trips to Germany to learn his origin. It is the story of a biracial miscreant who grew up unloved and beaten. It is one mans perception of racism in America and abroad. He is taught some manners and discipline in the marines. He faces a world that begs for his attention as he begs for its salvation. The marines outfit him with the diplomacy necessary to deal with what life has thrown, and continues to throw, at him. Chauncy T. McClarren takes his time in life. He orchestrates things while sauntering through life with a grifting nonchalance. He is methodical and pragmatic enough to see his various operations through to the end.

Download or read book Imperfukt written by Heidi Patullo and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-07-16 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When young, author Heidi Patullo bought into the labels donned on her: smart, pretty, talented and Miss Perfect, and for several years her choices, both academic and personal, reflected a fierce dedication to this identity. Superficially, it worked. And yet, even as a young adult, Patullo knew it was for show...merely a veneer of perfection and excellence and certainly not her chosen identity. A born pleaser, she dismayed over disappointing those whom she felt counted on her being the woman they believed her to be. And so she maintained the many acts, downplaying and silencing her own personal need to become the truest version of herself. Ultimately, however, when she found the courage to make the heart wrenching choice to split up her perfect young family, she sent a message, loudly and clearly, that all was not as it appeared. Or, certainly, not in her personal world. But shed only just begun. To act out. And to grow up. This middle-aged mother and teacher would need several years to get it right. Nevertheless, she was determined to become the genuine--and genuinely happy--woman she longed to be. Anyone and everyone could see she was imperfect. She handed that to them.
