Mandala Publishing Group The Bhagavad Gita: A Short Course
Book SynopsisIn a lucid, chapter-by-chapter analysis, Hindu Studies scholar Nicholas Sutton sets out a guide to the philosophy, religious context, and contemporary significance of the Bhagavad Gita. An authoritative yet accessible introduction to this sacred classic, Sutton’s book will be of interest to all students of the Gita, both new and experienced.Forming a climactic moment in the ancient Indian epic the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita is one of the most celebrated texts in the Hindu world. Assuming the form of a dialogue between the princely warrior Arjuna and his divine charioteer Krsna spoken on the brink of a great war, the Gita addresses many themes that are central to Hinduism, including action in the world, spiritual knowledge, devotion, liberation, and the nature of God. Nicholas Sutton’s The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide presents the principal ideas pursued in the teachings of this classic Hindu scripture. With scholarly rigour, yet always accessible and sensitive to the lived tradition, the book unpacks the meaning of key Sanskrit terms and makes ample use of three influential traditional commentaries on the Gita, namely those of Samkaracarya, Ramanujacarya, and Madhvacarya. It also reflects on the contemporary significance of the Gita’s teachings and how they can be of relevance to the modern world. Sutton’s book will be of interest to all students of the Bhagavad Gita. OXFORD CENTRE SERIES: The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies Publishing Series offers authoritative yet accessible introductions to a wide range of subjects in Hindu Studies. Each book in the series aims to present its subject matter in a form that is engaging and readily comprehensible to persons of all backgrounds - academic or otherwise - without compromising scholarly rigour. The series thus bridges the divide between academic and popular writing by preserving and utilising the best elements of both. The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide joins other accessible texts on Hindu Studies authored by expert scholars, including Understanding the Mahabharata; The Hindu Temple and Its Sacred Landscape; and Women in the Hindu World. EXPERT AUTHOR: Nicholas Sutton is the Director of the Continuing Education Department of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, an academy for the study of Hindu cultures, societies, philosophies, religions, and languages. He received his PhD from Lancaster University, writing his doctoral dissertation on the Mahabharata, and currently writes and tutors online courses on Hindu religious traditions. EDUCATION AID: This book serves as a comprehensive resource for both classwork and independent study of Hinduism. With the integration of discussion questions, suggested further readings, and glossary of Sanskrit terms, The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide offers an accessible introduction to this enduring Sanskrit epic.

Potter/Ten Speed/Harmony/Rodale The Way of Play
Book SynopsisThe simple way to help your kids face their fears, handle big emotions, and bolster their social skills?from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child and a renowned play therapist ?A parenting guide as useful as it is scientifically sound, The Way of Play is a gift for anyone who cares about human development and the growth-promoting importance of having fun in life!??Daniel J. Siegel, MDMost parents understand that free, unstructured playtime is great for children?s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them, but many parents don?t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time.Playing with your kids doesn?t have to mean enrolling in countless parent-and-me classes or getting on all fours and making toy car sounds; the little daily moments together can make the most impact. In The Way of Play, world-renowned pediatric therapists and play experts Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent break down seven simple, playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic in only a few minutes each day:? Leaning in to emotions helps children let go of anxieties, drama, and chaotic behavior.? Tuning in to the body teaches children to practice the art of surfing sensory waves.? Storytelling promotes better problem-solving.? Thinking out loud fosters calmer thinking and stronger communication with parents, siblings, and everyone else.Full of science-backed research, real-life stories, and charming line illustrations to bring this novel advice to life, The Way of Play will help you nurture your kids and encourage them to become calm listeners, cooperative problem solvers, and respectful communicators. Just as important, it will help your whole family have more fun together and build stronger relationships.

John Murray Press Autism in Adults
Book SynopsisAs seen on the BBC documentary, Inside Our Autistic Minds, with Chris PackhamIf you've recently been diagnosed with ASD, or think you might be, or you are close to someone with ASD, one of the things you will like most about this book is the way in which it challenges the idea of autism as a 'disorder' or 'impairment'.Instead, Dr Luke Beardon will help you to reframe what you feel, and challenge what you know, about being on the spectrum. He explains how autism impacts on the individual, and what purpose a diagnosis might - or might not - serve. There is a lot of myth-busting, and dismantling of the stereotypes and clichés around ASD and areas like communication, social interaction and relationships. Practical tips for undiagnosed adults will help you navigate things like school, work, study, parenthood and even to understand what happens when autistic people break the law.Above all, this book is a celebration of what it means to be autistic - of the passion, honesty, humour, lack of ego, loyalty and trustworthiness that make you, or your loved one, such an amazing person.Trade Review"Sensitive and insightful ... this will be a book that we recommend to everyone we diagnose at Axia." * Dr Linda Buchan, Axia ASD *

North Atlantic Books,U.S. The Resonance Effect: How Frequency Specific
Book SynopsisThe Resonance Effect is both the author''s story of her inspirational journey of having the courage to find her true calling and an account of the development of a remarkable newly rediscovered treatment, frequency specific microcurrent (FSM), that takes advantage of the body''s ability to respond to frequencies in order to heal a number of chronic conditions. Carolyn McMakin, a chiropractor specializing in fibromyalgia and myofascial pain, describes her experience using a two-channel microcurrent device that has achieved astounding results that have changed medicine and created new possibilities for suffering patients over the past twenty years. Nerve pain, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathies, muscle pain, athletic performance, injury repair, joint pain, low back pain, neck pain, kidney stone pain, the kidney stones themselves, liver disease, diabetic wounds, brain and spinal cord injuries, PTSD, depression, shingles, asthma, ovarian cysts, abdominal adhesions, and scarring all respond to specific frequencies. McMakin explains that results are predictable, reproducible, and teachable?all without side effects?offering hope and healing to millions of people.McMakin tells the story of how thousands of patients with conditions that did not respond to other medical therapies recovered from pain and disability through the non-invasive treatment that she developed. For example, asthma resolves with specific frequencies that remove inflammation, allergy reaction, and spasm from the bronchi. One frequency combination eliminates shingles pain in minutes and stops the shingles attack with a single three-hour treatment. Since 2005, a series of frequencies has been used to treat hundreds of PTSD patients. Post-surgical patients use FSM to reduce pain, prevent bruising, and increase healing. NFL, NHL, and Olympic athletes use it to heal injuries and improve performance. McMakin includes case histories that illustrate the efficacy of the treatment and shares the specific frequencies that each condition requires so that patients direct their own treatments.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Renegade Beauty: Reveal and Revive Your Natural
Book Synopsis"Nadine Artemis invites us to rethink conventional notions of beauty and wellness, to abandon established regimes and commercial products, and to embrace "renegade" beauty--a practice of doing less and allowing the elements and the life force of Nature to revive the body, skin, and soul so that the natural radiance of our own beauty can shine through. This engaging book explains how our ancestors lived deeply rooted in and reliant on nature, though now we have lost our connection with the elements that once sustained us. The author takes us on a trip to the not too distant past when our lives were integrated with nature, which furnished our health and beauty. She exposes the philosophy that caused this shift and examines why and when we withdrew from thenatural world around us, and the devastating health, emotional, and cultural problems that resulted. Along the way, she reviews historical definitions of beauty from ancient Egypt to Plato, the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, and the Golden Mean.Anyone stuck in perpetual loops of new products, facials, and dermatologist appointments will find answers as Artemis introduces the energizing elements of sun, fresh air, water, the earth, and plants. She invites readers to ditch their regimes and simplify their routines as she leads us on a joyful journey of cellular rejuvenation. Tackling common beauty complaints, she offers practical botanical, microbial, and dietary suggestions to rejuvenate the cells, reenergize health, and allow beauty to bloom. She draws on current nutrition research to advise us about which foods are health sustaining and which should be avoided. As we shift toward chemical free and environmentally safe self-care products, this book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to simplify their self-care routine, discover their own radiant beauty, and take their health into their own hands"--

J.P.Tarcher,U.S./Perigee Bks.,U.S. 5 Types of People Who Can Ruin Your Life
Book SynopsisSome difficult people aren’t just hard to deal with—they’re dangerous. Do you know someone whose moods swing wildly? Do they act unreasonably suspicious or antagonistic? Do they blame others for their own problems? When a high-conflict person has one of five common personality disorders—borderline, narcissistic, paranoid, antisocial, or histrionic—they can lash out in risky extremes of emotion and aggression. And once an HCP decides to target you, they’re hard to shake. But there are ways to protect yourself. Using empathy-driven conflict management techniques, Bill Eddy, a lawyer and therapist with extensive mediation experience, will teach you to: - Spot warning signs of the five high-conflict personalities in others and in yourself. - Manage relationships with HCPs at work and in your private life. - Safely avoid or end dangerous and stressful interactions with HCPs.
