Social Capital and Mental Health【電子書籍】[ Kwame McKenzie ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>`The effects of social context and social structure on health are well documented. The concept of social capital provides a slightly different take on the issue, as it attempts to discover the features of populations in different areas that are crucial in determining the extent and the quality of social interactions and the social institutions within society. Such factors as social networks, levels of participation in civil life (as a citizen) and levels of trust within communities are all associated with social capital.</p> <p>This book provides a detailed exploration of the concept, on its effects on psychological functioning and on the risk factors for mental health that are associated with communities that have either high or low levels of social capital.' - Community Care</p> <p>Why do some areas have a higher prevalence of mental illness than others? How does the structure of a society affect its inhabitants' mental health? This remarkable book is the first to explore in detail the concept of social capital and its implications for mental health policy.</p> <p>Drawing on evidence from international research and fieldwork, the contributors examine the risk factors for mental health associated with both low and high social capital communities. They discuss the importance of relationships between individuals, groups and abstract bodies such as the state and outline different systems of social capital, for example intra-group `bonding' and inter-group `bridging'. The authors challenge the notion of community as a strictly area-based concept and call for broader-based studies of communities built around race, faith or even around a common social exclusion. Social Capital and Mental Health also reviews methods of measuring social capital, analyses the implications of research findings for future policy developments and makes clear recommendations for future practice and research.</p> <p>This book will be an informative and engaging read for sociologists and psychiatrists, and an incisive resource for policy makers and practitioners.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,874円

Jeremy Kane: A Canadian historical adventure novel of the 1837 Mackenzie Rebellion and its brutal aftermath in the Australian penal colonies.【電子書籍】[ Sidney Allinson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Jeremy Kane: A Canadian Historical Adventure Novel Of The 1837 Mackenzie Rebellion And Its Brutal Aftermath In The Australian Penal Colonies."</p> <p>A young Ontario rebel's adventures in love, politics, and war, amidst violent events that helped shape Canada's early nationhood. Romantically involved with two beautiful -- and very different -- young sisters, Jeremy is caught up in the 1837 Mackenzie Rebellion, its ruthless suppression, and the deportation of 100 Canadian rebels and American sympathizers to the brutal penal colonies of Australia. There, he endures the hell of convict chain-gangs, tribal savagery, magnificent wilderness, unselfish devotion, and eventual triumph of the human spirit.<br /> Colonial intrigue, battlefields, sensuality, harsh prison-camps, and primitive aboriginal life are described with unblinking realism. Mixing actual history with fast-paced story-telling, filled with colorful characters and period detail, Jeremy Kane is a masterful re-creation of 19th Century Canada and Australia's untamed Outback, combining an unforgettable love story with a saga of courage, and triumph of the human. [Maps and illustrations.]</p> <p>Review by Brig. Maurice Tugwell.<br /> This is a Big book. Big in its geographical scope and its extraordinary capacity to bring alive the Canada and Australia of the 1830s, and the author's ability to spin his compelling story through the words, deeds and thoughts of his main character.<br /> Yes, Kane is the hero, yet so completely is he submerged in the actual events that overtake him, that we accept the man as every bit as real as the true-life governors, colonels, rebel leaders, and jailors he meets. This is the art of historical fiction, and Sidney Allinson has it in spades.<br /> Without once distorting or overstating the often terrifying events and conditions that confront Kane and his fellows, the author breathes life into a fascinating period of history about which all too little is understood.<br /> We meet Jeremy Kane during the heady days that led up to the Mackenzie Rebellion in colonial Upper Canada - today's Ontario. Reformist and populist, the rebellion was led by the crabby old Scot whose name commemorates it. The trusting and rather unworldly young Kane supports Mackenzie as an act of patriotism. Canada is being misgoverned by the 'Family Compact' of local shysters, and the lackadaisical British do nothing about it.<br /> The insurrection comes and goes, the rebels are scattered, captured, or killed, and Kane is saved from the gallows only to be deported with one hundred others to a penal colony on Tasmania, off the coast of Australia. It is hard to credit that conditions such as Kane encounters in this book existed only 160 years ago: the plague-ridden convict ships, chain-gangs, and sadistic torture prisons .<br /> This is not light reading, but you'll keep the pages turning, believe me. Still there is hope. Hope that transcends rational calculation and imbues the convicts with the will to survive. This can take one form only: escape. And when the terrors of the sea have been vanquished, there are the horrors of cannibalism in a land so vast and forbidding that the chances of survival shrink daily until, after all manner of adventures, Jeremy Kane, alone, proves that hope reinforced by straight thinking and determination pays off.<br /> For this reader, it was the story with its myriad characters, their encounters with danger, and the impact of events on character development that held me.<br /> As for Australia, the author dares to defy political correctness by describing aboriginal life, warts and all, an important corrective to the myth that such societies enjoyed some kind of Golden Age until this was overturned by newcomers. Whatever your interests, read Jeremy Kane and enjoy.<br /> -- Brig. Gen. Maurice Tugwell (rtd),<br /> Director,Centre for Conflict Studies,<br /> University of New Brunswick, Canada.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 900円

Aromatics and the Soul: A Study of Smells【電子書籍】[ Dan McKenzie ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>I sing of smells, of scents, perfumes, odours, whiffs and niffs; of aromas, bouquets and fragrances; and also, though temperately and restrainedly I promise you, of effluvia, reeks, f?tors, stenches, and stinks. A few years ago I stood before the public singing another song. By no means a service of praise it was, but something of the order of a denunciatory psalm, wherein I invoked the wrath of the high gods upon such miscreants as make life hideous with din. You must not think that imprecations cannot be sung. All emotional utterance is song, said Carlyle; only he said it not quite so briefly. And, leaving on one side the vituperations of his enemies by King David (if he it was who wrote the Psalms) which we still chant upon certain days of the Christian year, it may be remembered that in bygone times when the medical practitioner was a wizard (or a witch) and uttered his (or her) spell to stay the arrows of Apollo, it not infrequently contained a denunciation of some brother (or sister) practitioner of the art (how times are changed!), and it was known, in Rome at all events, as a carmen, a song. Hence, say the etymologists, the English word “charm,” which still, of course, characterises the modern witch, if not the modern wizardーneither of whom, we may add, is nowadays a medical practitioner. Besides, denunciations are, of course, grunted and growled with more or less of a semblance of singing in modern opera. To substantiate my words I need only mention that interminable sceneーor is it an act?ーof gloom and evil plottings by Telramund and Ortrud in Lohengrin. But if I am again singing, this time, I trust, my voice will sound in the ears of my hearers less shrill, less strident, less of a shriek. For, in sooth, the present theme is one upon which we are justly entitled, in so far as England and Scotland at all events are concerned, to raise what would be a Nunc Dimittis of praise and thanksgiving, were it not that the price of cleanly air like that of liberty is eternal vigilance, seeing that our nostrils are no longer offended by the stenches our forefathers had to put up with. That they endured such offences philosophically, cheerfully even, laughing at the unpleasantness as men do at a bad smell, is true. Nevertheless most people in those days probably felt as much objection to a vile odour as Queen Elizabeth, for example, did, the sharpness of whose nose, her biographers tell us, was only equalled by the sharpness of her tongue. Irishmen who do me the honour of tasting this light omelette of scientific literature will have noticed, I am sure, that I have not included the sister isle in my olfactory paradise. And indeed, I hesitated long before passing it over, because I am a man of peaceーat any price where the Land of Ire is concerned. But alas! I am by nature truthful and only by art mendacious. And there sticks horrible to my memory the fumous and steamy stench of parboiled cabbage that filled the restaurant-car of the train for Belfastーyes! Belfast, not Dublinーone evening as I landed at Kingstown. The sea had beenーwell! it was the Irish Sea, and I stepped on to the train straight from the mail-boat, so that ... in a word, I remember that luscious but washy odour too vividly to bestow upon Ireland the white flower of a stenchless life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,200円

Essay on the Life and Institutions of Offa, King of Mercia, A.D. 755-794【電子書籍】[ Henry Mackenzie ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Example in this ebook</strong></p> <p><strong>AN ESSAY, &c.</strong></p> <p><strong>“Nobilissimus juvenis; rex strenuissimus; vir religiosus.”<br> Hoveden.</strong></p> <p>The attention of the student is so universally directed in modern days to the attainment of Classic Literature, and to the knowledge of that period of History which has been stamped at once as the age of the purest taste and of the highest philosophy, that the youth of our country are too generally in entire ignorance of the early history of their own race; and with few, with very few, exceptions know no more than the names of those who in the “dark ages,” as they are erroneously termed, exercised an important influence over the well-being of England.</p> <p>All error is prolific in its offspringーthe stigma of darkness which has been passed upon the period that elapsed between the fourth and the tenth centuries has caused them if not actually to be shunned, at least to be lightly esteemed in the course of study; and the useful lessons to be acquired from the conduct of men in all but a state of nature, have been neglected for the sake of those to be deduced from society as it has conventionally existed in a highly civilized state. It is not here intended to be denied but that much may be learned by this method of procedure; yet is it unhesitatingly advanced as a necessary axiom in polity, that the state of nature should be first regarded, and the different improvements upon, or at least alterations from, that state afterwards compared, for the purpose of introducing a still higher degree of amelioration. In no condition can the natural propensities of man be learned so readily as in a natural condition; and the more civilization has increased in any country, so much the more difficult will it be to lay down a Code of Laws which shall have the effect of correcting the natural evils and vicious propensities of the natives of the clime.</p> <p>It might, perhaps, at first sight, appear that these remarks are not peculiarly applicable to the subject of the present Essay; but this is by no means the case. The object of History is to make the experience of past ages subservient to the use of the present; and the object of Education to enable the existing generation to take advantage of the experience so afforded. But if that portion of History most rich in traits of nature, most prolific in change, most useful in developing the workings of unsophisticated mind, be neglected, it were absurd to imagine that the present age could derive the benefit such period affords from other sources, which are undeniably less adequate to bestow it.</p> <p>Circumscribed, however, as a brief composition of such a nature as the present must necessarily be, it is not perhaps advisable to enlarge upon a point of opinion that might admit of controversy. It may possibly be deemed sufficient to bear out, at least partially, the position laid down, to direct attention to the state of England at the period of its History preceding the accession of Offa to the crown of Mercia, and then trace briefly his mingled career of glory and of crime.</p> <p><strong>To be continue in this ebook</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 196円

In this pamphlet Dr MacKenzie attempts to do this, by sketching the historical background to the partition, surveying the events of the partition in the four main regions of Africa and then examining in turn the theories produced to explain the sequence of events.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,285円

As you turn the pages, remember: a flickering light is never just a coincidence… and that cold touch on your neck might not be the wind.</p> <p>You may want to leave the lights on. Just in case...</p> <p>Praise for <em>The Forger and the Thief</em>: "It starts off as a beautiful character driven portrait of Florence, but turns into a deep psychological examination of the lengths different people will go to to protect the things that they love." -<strong>Crime Fiction Lover</strong></p> <p>"<em>Painted</em> is an effective haunted house book, favoring tension and subtlety over outright violence and kills. As such, this may appeal to a broader audience, both in terms of age and those who are not fans of overt gore. The truth behind the haunting is slowly revealed, along with how it ties into the many paintings in the house. In <em>Painted</em>, we see that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and in this case the eyes are on canvas." -<strong>The Books of Blood</strong></p> <p>"<em>Doctor Perry</em> was definitely a gruesome and scary book, very reminiscent of Stephen King and James Herbert books I read many years ago. I would say it isn't a book for the faint hearted and certainly don't read it without a light on! Do I trust my doctor after reading this...?

Donald Mackenzie Wallace was an astute historian and sociologist with profound insights into Eastern Europe's dynamics. His extensive travels through Russia, combined with his academic background, allowed him to witness the intricate tapestry of Russian culture and society firsthand. This experience undoubtedly informed his writing, as he sought to elucidate the intricate power structures and cultural nuances that defined Russian identity, making "Russia" not just a historical account but also a memoir of intellectual curiosity. I highly recommend "Russia" to those interested in understanding the complexities of Russian society and its historical trajectory. Wallace's lucid analysis and rich narratives provide readers with invaluable insight, making this book an essential read for historians, sociologists, and general readers alike.

The Fifth Border State Slavery, Emancipation, and the Formation of West Virginia, 1829?1872【電子書籍】[ Scott A. MacKenzie ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>One of the first new interpretations of West Virginia’s origins in over a centuryーand one that corrects previous histories’ tendency to minimize support for slavery in the state’s founding.</strong></p> <p>Every history of West Virginia’s creation in 1863 explains the event in similar ways: at the start of the Civil War, political, social, cultural, and economic differences with eastern Virginia motivated the northwestern counties to resist secession from the Union and seek their independence from the rest of the state. In <em>The Fifth Border State</em>, Scott A. MacKenzie offers the first new interpretation of the topic in over a centuryーone that corrects earlier histories’ tendency to minimize support for slavery in the state’s founding.</p> <p>Employing previously unused sources and reexamining existing ones, MacKenzie argues that West Virginia experienced the Civil War in the same ways as the border states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. Like these northernmost slave states, northwestern Virginia supported the institution of slavery out of proportion to the actual presence of enslavement there. The people who became West Virginians built a new state first to protect slavery, but radical Unionists and escaping slaves forced emancipation on the statehood movement. MacKenzie shows how conservatives and radicals clashed over Black freedom, correcting many myths about West Virginia’s origins and making <em>The Fifth Border State</em> an important addition to the literature in Appalachian and Civil War history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,979円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>From a leading voice on recovering from toxic relationships, a deeply insightful guide to getting back to your "old self" again--in order to truly heal and move on.</strong></p> <p>Jackson MacKenzie has helped millions of people in their struggle to understand the experience of toxic relationships. His first book, <em>Psychopath Free</em>, explained how to identify and survive the immediate situation. In this highly anticipated new book, he guides readers on what to do next--how to fully heal from abuse in order to find love and acceptance for the self and others.</p> <p>Through his close work with--and deep connection to--thousands of survivors of abusive relationships Jackson discovered that most survivors have symptoms of trauma long after the relationship is over. These range from feelings of numbness and emptiness to depression, perfectionism, substance abuse, and many more. But he’s also found that it is possible to work through these symptoms and find love on the other side, and this book shows how. Through a practice of mindfulness, introspection, and exercises using specific tools, readers learn to identify the protective self they've developed - and uncover the core self, so that they can finally move on to live a full and authentic life--to once again feel light, free, and whole, and ready to love again.</p> <p>This book addresses and provides crucial guidance on topics and conditions like: <strong>complex PTSD, Narcissistic abuse, Avoidant Personality Disorder, Codependency, Core wounding, toxic shame, Borderline Personality Disorder, and so many more.</strong></p> <p><em>Whole Again</em> offers hope and multiple strategies to anyone who has survived a toxic relationship, as well as anyone suffering the effects of a breakup involving lying, cheating and other forms of abuse--to release old wounds and safely let the love back inside where it belongs.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,867円

Beyond the Band of Brothers The US Military and the Myth that Women Can't Fight【電子書籍】[ Megan MacKenzie ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Women can't fight. This assumption lies at the heart of the combat exclusion, a policy that was fiercely defended as essential to national security, despite evidence that women have been contributing to hostile operations now and throughout history. This book examines the role of women in the US military and the key arguments used to justify the combat exclusion, in the light of the decision to reverse the policy in 2013. Megan MacKenzie considers the historic role of the combat exclusion in shaping American military identity and debunks claims that the recent policy change signals a new era for women in the military. MacKenzie shows how women's exclusion from combat reaffirms male supremacy in the military and sustains a key military myth, the myth of the band of brothers. This book will be welcomed by scholars and students of military studies, gender studies, social and military history, and foreign policy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,245円
