Book SynopsisAn examination of the relationship between faith in God and the concept of ecological care within a crisis of biodiversity.For millennia plant and animal species have received little sustained attention as subjects of Christian theology and ethics in their own right. In Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love, Elizabeth A. Johnson concludes that love of the natural world is an intrinsic element of faith in God and that far from being an add-on, ecological care is at the center of moral life.Focused on the human dilemma of sin and redemptive grace, theology has considered the doctrine of creation to be mainly an overture to the main drama of human being''s relationship to God. What value does the natural world have within the framework of religious belief? The crisis of biodiversity in our day, when species are going extinct at more than 1,000 times the natural rate, renders this question acutely important.Standard perspectives need to be realigned; tTrade ReviewIn Ask the Beasts Elisabeth Johnson combines erudition and theological reflection, a pastoral passion and ethical commitment to show that Darwinian theory of evolution need not stand against a religious belief in God. Instead, she provides a theology of creation that not only integrates an understanding of evolution with a belief in the presence of God's love and grace in the world, but also encourages us to take up our common responsibility for the earth, its environment, and all its living creatures. The clarity of her exposition and her ability to bring classical theological affirmations to bear on contemporary issues makes this book an accessible and required reading on the burning issues of faith, science, and ecological well-being. -- Francis Schüssler FiorenzaElizabeth Johnson’s beautifully written book shows us, more convincingly than any other book that I have ever read, how science and religion can engage in a dialogue which is mutually illuminating. She shows how the narratives of evolution and salvation are not just parallel stories but shed light on each other. The unpredictable creativity of matter is disclosed as the sphere of the working of the ever-fresh Holy Spirit. She brings us to a new understanding of the role of pain and death, and radically deepens our understanding of a cosmic redemption. I will read the Bible with a renewed understanding and pleasure. I have rarely enjoyed a book of theology more. -- Timothy Radcliffe, O.P.This book is a call to broaden our focus, beyond the hierarchy we have perceived in Genesis, beyond the individualistic angst of human sin and redemption. It shows us that biblical revelation is bigger than this – God is bigger than this. -- Melissa Jones, Brandman University, CA * National Catholic Reporter *Johnson’s work is vivifying, encouraging not only Christian thoughtfulness but also reverence toward the ecosystem on its behalf. An overdue reconciliation of religious belief to scientific cognizance, Ask the Beasts should become the benchmark for conversations between the disciplines. -- Michelle Anne Schingler * ForeWord Reviews *With Ask the Beasts Elizabeth Johnson gives us a gift of the insights, scope of vision and impact of Darwin’s theory on the way we humans view the history of life on our planet and our responsibility to care for our home. -- Blair Tabor * Association for Mormon Letters *In constructing her “dialogue between Charles Darwin’s account of the origin of species and the Christian story of the ineffable God of mercy and love recounted in the Nicene Creed” (xv), Johnson writes so skillfully in her judicious use of a broad swathe of traditional and contemporary literature, and also so beautifully, that this book may well stand out as one of the most important to come from the early twenty-first century. -- Robert J. Daly, Boston College * Worship, V. 89 N. 2. *Like Darwin marveling at the web of life observed in the tangle of vegetation, insects, birds, and animals along a riverbank and at discovering the ‘grandeur’ of a view of life that is dynamic rather than static, Johnson’s stance is most often one of profound wonder at the complexity, beauty and mystery of creation and of its Creator. -- Scott MacDougall, Fordham UniversityLike Darwin marveling at the web of life observed in the tangle of vegetation, insects, birds, and animals along a riverbank and at discovering the “grandeur” of a view of life that is dynamic rather than static, Johnson’s stance is most often one of profound wonder at the complexity, beauty and mystery of creation and of its Creator. * Anglican Theological Review *Elizabeth Johnson’s most recent publication demonstrates not only her facility and keen insight on matters of theology, but also her knowledge of evolutionary theory as introduced by Darwin and updated by other scholars. Johnson is a clear and persuasive writer who substantiates her work with footnotes and an eleven-page select bibliography. … Ask the Beasts forwards the conversation between science and theology and is well-suited for any library, but particularly for a theological library. -- Laurie Brink, OP * Catholic Library World *Johnson makes the world sing through the pages of her book ... Ask the Beasts provides a blueprint for a new theology of Creation, in fact, a new ecological theology. Others have been working towards this for some time, but none more persuasively or more beautifully than Elizabeth Johnson. * The Tablet *This Spirit-imbued vision of creation yields the kind of strong ecological ethic demanded in our day. … Ask the Beasts presents a deeply sacramental, incarnational view of the natural world and our place in it. -- Stephen J. Pope, Boston College, USA * The Journal of Religion *What might have been a book review of Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love ... has become that and something more because of the quality of the book and the contemporary relevance of the issues with which it deals. Indeed, those issues are not only central to Christian faith and life, but also concern the threat that we humans now pose for all life on the planet ... It is the fruit of careful and detailed study, dialogue, tested judgements and conclusions across fields not commonly traversed by a theologian. It bears the mark of the deep and careful reflection of an accomplished theologian. -- Revd Professor John Painter * St Mark's Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Preface 1 Beasts and Entangled Bank: A Dialogue 2 "When We Look..." 3 "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" 4 Evolution of the Theroy 5 The Dwelling Place of God 6 Free, Empowered Creation 7 All Creation Groaning 8 Bearer of Great Promise 9 Enter the Humans 10 The Community of Creation Notes Selected Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisDesigned for interviewers at all levels of experience, The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam is the clinician's companion for using DSM-5-TR in diagnostic interviews. Both experienced clinicians and those still in training will benefit from the thoughtful, yet practical, fashion in which DSM-5 revisions are reviewed and incorporated into the 30-minute diagnostic interview. This guide is written for all levels of experience, since every clinician needs to master both DSM-5-TR criteria and how to conduct a fruitful diagnostic interview. The book: • Provides insight into the process of establishing a therapeutic alliance, which remains the goal of any psychiatric encounter, even one as brief as the diagnostic interview.• Offers an extensive set of resources to enhance understanding. These include a brief, easy-to-use summary of DSM-5-TR disorders; the Mental Status Examination and a psychiatric glossary; suggestions for mental health treatment planning; guidance for the ABPN Clinical Skills Evaluation; DSM-5-TR-related diagnostic tools and scales; and coverage of alternative diagnostic systems and rating scales.• Provides a sequential framework for generating a differential diagnosis, using a six-step approach, that will help clinicians develop their clinical decision-making skills and ensure that they consider the many and interrelated causes of mental disorders. Direct, practical, and informative, The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam will enable readers to efficiently and effectively employ DSM-5 as part of a comprehensive diagnostic interview.Trade ReviewThis book guides those who use the DSM-5-TR, regardless of level of experience in the field. The book was designed to be utilized in conjunction with the DSM-5-TR for the diagnostic exam for beginner or experienced interviewers. The beginning of the book stresses the importance of a therapeutic alliance and the well-being of the people we meet as the reason for the diagnostic exam. The main focus of the book is to have a DSM-5-TR class with criteria and then provide example questions and follow-up questions that allow for open-ended questioning and to facilitate building a therapeutic alliance with patients. This could involve screening questions for a category and then follow-up questions for specific inclusion criteria. This book is well organized, informative, and was created for efficient use as a pocket guide. As the diagnostic interview is essential to the practice of psychiatrists, this book is a significant companion for those who utilize the DSM-5-TR for diagnosis. Readers will have more and varied questions to add to their interview index. This can be used as a quick reference to review criteria and questions in order to lead to an improved diagnostic exam for people experiencing mental distress. -- Andre Lars Lorenz, DO * Doody *Table of ContentsPreface Section I Introduction to the Diagnostic InterviewAlliance Building During a Diagnostic InterviewThe 30-Minute Diagnostic InterviewPersonalizing Diagnoses Through DimensionsKey Changes in DSM-5-TR Section II The DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Interview Section III A Brief Version of DSM-5-TRSix Questions to a Differential DiagnosisA Mental Status Examination: With Essential Psychiatric GlossaryMental Health Treatment PlanningThe American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Clinical Skills EvaluationSelected DSM-5-TR Assessment MeasuresDimensional Diagnosis of Personality DisordersAlternative Diagnostic Systems and Rating ScalesReferencesIndex

Book Synopsis"If you or someone you know suffers from Alzheimer’s, I highly recommend this book."—Robb Wolf, New York Times bestselling author "An important and informative text . . . an excellent book."—Dr. David Perlmutter, New York Times bestselling author A revolutionary multi-pronged nutrition and lifestyle intervention to combat Alzheimer’s disease at its roots from Certified Nutrition Specialist Amy Berger Amy Berger’s research shows that Alzheimer’s results from a fuel shortage in the brain: As neurons become unable to harness energy from glucose, they atrophy and die, leading to classic symptoms like memory loss and behavioral changes. This is a revolutionary approach—one that has been discussed in the scientific literature for years but has only recently been given credence in clinical settings, thanks to extremely promising studies wherein Alzheimer’s patients have experienced complete reversals of the condition. Medical and scientific journals are full of research showing alternate ways to fuel the starving brain, but no one has been bringing this essential information to the people who need it most—until now. In a culture obsessed with miracle medications, the pharmaceutical route for tackling Alzheimer’s has been a massive failure. Pills and potions don’t address underlying causes, and regarding Alzheimer’s, they typically fail to improve even the symptoms. As a metabolic problem, the only effective way to treat Alzheimer’s may be a multifaceted approach that fundamentally reprograms energy generation in the brain. The good news is, the secret is as simple as switching to a low-carb, high-fat diet. The Alzheimer’s Antidote shows us that cognitive decline is not inevitable, but if it does occur, we don’t have to sit idly by and wait helplessly while it progresses and worsens. Amy Berger empowers loved ones and caregivers of Alzheimer’s sufferers, and offers hope and light against this otherwise unnavigable labyrinth of darkness.Trade Review“Magnificent. . . . The Alzheimer’s Antidote harvests our most highly regarded, scientific research to create an empowering, user-friendly game plan that rewrites our health destiny. . . . This is a program for everyone, whether already diagnosed, at high risk, or even if there is no family history of this disease.”--David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain, #1 New York Times Bestseller (from the Foreword)"There are few things people fear more than cancer, with the possible exception of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Not only does AD ultimately cut lives short, it effectively steals who the person 'is' long before they die. Traditional treatment methods have been lackluster at best, but there is hope. The Alzheimer's Antidote is a scientifically sound method of nutrition and lifestyle which combats AD at a molecular level. If you or someone you know suffers from AD, I highly recommend this book."--Robb Wolf, New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat“Amy Berger brings a fresh, new perspective to the rising problem of Alzheimer’s disease. She proposes a natural treatment that has, in my opinion, a far greater chance of clinical success than standard medications. The Alzheimer’s Antidote is a terrific book.”--Jason Fung, MD, author of The Obesity Code“Amy Berger elegantly explains how Alzheimer’s, a devastating disease that has touched virtually every American family (or soon will), is much more than just a normal manifestation of growing old, and its management must include much more than just cholinesterase inhibiting drugs. She delves deep into Alzheimer’s as a complex metabolic disease, one that can be greatly reduced, and likely avoided completely, with the right combination of lifestyle modifications within our control. Berger offers comprehensive treatment approaches that go way beyond what most patients are told by their physicians. This book is long overdue and a must-read for health care providers and laypeople alike.”--David M. Brady, ND, CCN, DACBN, author of the Amazon bestseller The Fibro Fix; vice president for health sciences and director of the Nutrition Institute, University of Bridgeport“A growing body of research suggests brain insulin resistance is strongly linked to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In The Alzheimer’s Antidote, Amy Berger provides a clear understanding of the pathology of AD and explains how a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle can improve cognitive function and increase quality of life by providing an alternate fuel source for the Alzheimer’s brain to use: ketone bodies. This exceptionally well-written, well-researched book is a must-read for family members and caregivers of people with AD.”--Franziska Spritzler, RD, CDE

Book SynopsisDark, earthy, and immensely powerful, the Black Goddess has been a key force in world history, manifesting in images as diverse as the Indian goddess Kali and the Black Madonnas of medieval Europe. She embodies the energy of chaos and creativity, creation and destruction, death and rebirth. Images of Her, however, have been conspicuously missing in the Western world for centuries—until now, when awareness of the Goddess is re-arising in many spheres, from the women's movement to traditional religion, from the new discoveries of quantum physics to the dreams of ordinary men and women. Why now particularly? The answer provided by Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson is bold and thrilling: the reemergence of the Divine Feminine in our time indicates our readiness to move to an entirely new level of consciousness. The reemerging Goddess calls for a shattering of rigid categories, a willingness to hold opposition. She calls us to marry reason and order to creativity, and to embrace the chaos that can ultimately lead to wisdom and transformation on personal and global levels.

Book Synopsis''A masterpiece ... In its field it is the best book ever'' GuardianWinner of the Wolfson Prize for history, Reformation: Europe''s House Divided 1490-1700 charts a seismic shift in European culture that marked the beginning of the modern world. At a time when men and women were prepared to kill - and be killed - for their faith, the Reformation tore the western world apart. Acclaimed as the definitive account of these epochal events, Diarmaid MacCulloch''s history brilliantly re-creates the religious battles of priests, monarchs, scholars and politicians, from the zealous Martin Luther nailing his Theses to the door of a Wittenburg church to the radical Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order; from Thomas Cranmer, martyred for his reforms, to the ambitious Philip II, unwavering in his campaign against Europe''s ''heretics''. Weaving together the many strands of Reformation and Counter-Reformation, ranging widely across Europe and even to the new world, MacCulloch also reveals as never before how these upheavals affected everyday lives - overturning ideas of love, sex, death and the supernatural, and shaping the modern age. ''Magisterial and eloquent''  David Starkey ''A triumph of human sympathy''  Blair Worden, Sunday Telegraph ''From politics to witchcraft, from the liturgy to sex; the sweep of European history covered here is breathtakingly panoramic. This is a model work of history''  Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph Books of the Year ''Monumental ... Reformation is set to become a landmark''  Lisa Jardine, Observer Diarmaid MacCulloch is Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University. His Thomas Cranmer won the Whitbread Biography Prize, the James Tait Black Prize and the Duff Cooper Prize. He is also the author of A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years.

Book SynopsisYou can only find out the rights and wrongs by Reasoning never by being rude about your opponent's psychology.' For C. S. Lewis, reason and logic are the sensible way to approach faith and ethics. Much of the 20th century's ills are caused by ill-founded beliefs and opinions.Lewis's original approach remains as vital today as ever. He is able to take the most convoluted subject, turn it side on and shed bright illumination on it. To be able to see along things rather than at them just like a beam of sunlight that invades the darkness of a toolshed is, to Lewis, the way to understanding.Written variously between 1940 and 1962, this collection of essays represents the best of Lewis's considerable wisdom on the great ethical and theological concerns of the day.Trade Review‘Most of us would gladly have given reams of our own work to write a couple of paragraphs as Lewis wrote.’Church of England Newspaper

Book SynopsisImmortal Diamond by bestselling author and spiritual teacher Richard Rohr explores the deepest questions of identity, spirituality and meaning.Trade ReviewThe power of Immortal Diamond is impossible to exaggerate. With the cutting skills of a surgeon and the heart of a Franciscan, Richard exposes the misperceptions and counterfeits that have shaped our faith. He then promises and delivers a "staggering change of perspective" along with a taste of the intimacy of all love, both human and divine. Every word is a rare gift from a true elder and a worthy guide. -- Paula D'Arcy, author, Gift of the Red Bird and Waking Up to This DayFor a growing number of us, reading Richard Rohr is like sitting around the tribal fire, listening to the village elder give words to that which we've always known to be true; we just didn't know how to say it. Profound, intelligent, wise, and passionate, this book continues Richard's great work in showing us what vibrant, Jesus-centered faith looks like . . . -- Rob Bell, pastor; author of Love Wins and Velvet ElvisThis book is the ripe fruit of a life courageously and honestly lived. Such profound wisdom conveyed with such elegant simplicity! -- Cynthia Bourgeault, author, The Wisdom Way of Knowing, The Meaning of Mary Magdalene, and The Wisdom JesusHow well do we know ourselves? So many roles and identities shape individual lives that it's easy to be confused about what is authentically "us." Rohr leads a narrative excursion to the "True Self," the core of character that lies like a diamond buried within. Writing for secular seekers, the author claims that individuals need to allow the false self to fall away in order to get in touch with the true self, allowing it to breathe and flourish. Grasping onto the superficial identities of the false self, such as job, class, race, or accomplishments, can keep people from being the loving and generous conduits of the Divine that they are meant to be. God is always communicating with humans, but those who cling to ego and social position can’t hear these divine messages. The author makes clear that it is not easy to shed this falseness for truth in the inner life, but it is a spiritual path well worth the effort. * Publishers Weekly *[On THE DIVINE DANCE]: Finding the sweet spot where contemporary science meets ancient mysticism, and theology meets poetry, The Divine Dance sketches a beautiful choreography for a life well-lived. In our joy or our pain, true life is always relational, a flow, a dance. (And was always meant to be.) -- Bono, U2Rohr and Morrell have given us a liberating and yet totally orthodox invitation into the life of God. This book is a celebration of the Trinity, not as bad math (1+1+1=3), and not as baffling mystery to avoid, but as the divine movement of love. The Divine Dance is an example of why Rohr has had such a profound influence on so many Christians seeking to balance reason and mystery, action and contemplation, not to mention faith and real life. -- Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastor, House for All Sinners and Saints, Author, Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong PeopleRichard Rohr is one of the great spiritual masters of our time, indeed of any time. His superb new book on the Trinity is vintage Rohr: clearheaded, provocative, inspiring, challenging, and, most of all, suffused with the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Trinity will of course always remain a profound mystery, but after reading Father Rohr’s book, you will experience it as a mystery that can, and will, transform your life. -- James Martin, SJ, Author, Jesus: A Pilgrimage and Seven Last Words

Book SynopsisThis book is a practical resource for physiotherapists and occupational therapists who support people with cerebral palsy, helping them to solve the problems with movement and other impairments that so often accompany cerebral palsy, so that they can be more active and better able to participate in roles such as study, work, recreation and relationships. The first chapters provide the background to the clinical reasoning approach that informs the whole text, as well as an overview of therapeutic interventions. The subsequent chapters present clinical situations that therapists will encounter in the course of their work with individuals with cerebral palsy across the lifespan. Each chapter describes a case in detail, including the reasoning behind assessment and treatment choices, interventions and outcomes. The themes emphasized throughout the book are the use of the clinical reasoning approach of the intervention process model, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health as a framework to help therapists inform patient and family decision-making, family-centred approaches in developing and implementing therapeutic strategies, and multidisciplinary team work.Trade Review "Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy for People With Cerebral Palsy is an excellent reference for physicians. For primary care clinicians, it presents a comprehensive overview of concerns, goals, and therapies throughout the life span. This is particularly useful for pediatricians as they support and guide parents through the period of diagnosis and provide referrals for specialized evaluations and services. Physician specialists in cerebral palsy, particularly orthopedists, should find this book an excellent resource when prescribing an unfamiliar therapeutic intervention. In addition, the appendix, "Assessment of the Individual With Cerebral Palsy," explains the purpose, validity, reliability, responsiveness, and clinical utility of common measurements used by therapists that should prove helpful when interpreting therapy progress notes."
