Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. This book was conceived as a series of historical, clinical, sociological, philosophical and anthropological spotlights on psychiatry and mental disturbances. It is organised around the examination of three main issues: the many facets of mental illness, the evolution of types of treatment and diagnoses, the notions of 'mI'd' and 'brain' which make up a living human being. Medical and clinical practice in the area of mental health includes various branches of learning which constitute a special domain of action on human life. Forty years ago, this domain was reduced to the terms 'madness' and 'mad house'; today it has been extended to include everything from schizophrenia to I'dividual self-development and self-improvement. Mental illness today is a social and political issue as much as a medical one, and concerns every social institution, including families, schools and businesses. The writers of the articles included here are doctors, as well as sociologists, anthropologists and philosophers. They highlight the basic issues underlying mental pathology, and review the recent changes in the field and its consequences. The volume includes studies of multiple-personality disturbances, psychoses in the streets of New York, the concept of madness in I'donesia, the history of French psychiatry, and an extended, previously unpublished preface by Alain Ehrenberg. Contributors: Byron Good, Jacqueline Carroy, Vincent Descombes, Alain Ehrenberg, Jacques Gasser and Michel Stigler, Marc Jeannerod, Geroges Lant ri-Laura, Claude Legrand, Anne Lovell, Sherril Mulhern, Pierre Pachet, Paul Rabinow, Daniel Widl cher, Allan Young. Lambert, Stephen (illustratore).…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Climate disruption is often discussed on a global scale, affording many a degree of detachment from what is happening in their own backyards. Yet the consequences of global warming are of an increasingly acute and serious nature.In Virginia Climate Fever, journalist Stephen Nash brings home the threat of climate change to the state of Virginia. Weaving together a compelling mix of data and conversations with both respected scientists and Virginians most immediately at risk from global warming?s effects, Nash details how Virginia?s climate has already begun to change. Nash describes in engaging prose and layman?s terms how a new climate will affect not only our state?s cities but hundreds of square miles of urban and natural coastal areas, the 60 percent of the state that is forested, the Chesapeake Bay, and the near Atlantic, with accompanying threats such as the potential spread of infectious disease. In addition, Nash presents striking descriptions of the vulnerabilities of the state?s wealth of beautiful, natural areas - around which much of its tourism industry is built.While remaining respectful of the controversy around global warming, Nash allows the research to speak for itself. In doing so, he offers a practical approach to and urgent warning about the impending impact of climate change in Virginia.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Grand Canyon For Sale is a carefully researched investigation of the precarious future of America's public lands: our national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, monuments, and wildernesses. Taking the Grand Canyon as his key example, and using on-the-ground reporting as well as scientific research, Stephen Nash shows how accelerating climate change will dislocate wildlife populations and vegetation across hundreds of thousands of square miles of the national landscape. In addition, a growing political movement, well financed and occasionally violent, is fighting to break up these federal lands and return them to state, local, and private control. That scheme would foreclose the future for many wild species, which are part of our irreplaceable natural heritage, and also would devastate our national parks, forests, and other public lands. To safeguard wildlife and their habitats, it is essential to consolidate protected areas and prioritize natural systems over mining, grazing, drilling, and logging. Grand Canyon For Sale provides an excellent overview of the physical and biological challenges facing public lands. The book also exposes and shows how to combat the political activity that threatens these places in the U.S. today.…
