Der n rdliche Harzvorraum im sp ten Mittelalter: Zahlreiche weltliche und geistliche Potentaten konkurrieren im Ausbau eigener Herrschaftsbereiche um mannigfache Besitz- und Rechtspositionen. In dieser Epoche treten aus dem Kreis der bedeutendsten Harzgrafengeschlechter seit dem ausgehenden 13.

A mother of small children trusts her 'gut feelings' and it saves her life. A young dad is able to grieve for his lost baby - using a song. What if there were parts of our minds which we never use, but if awakened, could make us so much happier, connected and alive? What if awakening those parts could bring peace to the conflicts and struggles we all go through? From the cutting edge, where therapy meets neuroscience, Steve Biddulph explores the new concept of 'supersense' - the feelings beneath our feelings - which can guide us to a more awake and free way of living every minute of our lives. And the Four-storey Mansion, a way of using your mind that can be taught to a five-year-old, but can also help the most damaged adult. In Fully Human, Steve Biddulph draws on deeply personal stories from his own life, as well of those of his clients, and from the frontiers of thinking about how the brain works with the body and the wisdom of the 'wild creature' inside...

Immer häufiger empfehlen Mediziner und Therapeuten gerade bei chronischen Beschwerden Meditation und Achtsamkeitsübungen ergänzend zu medizinischen Behandlungen. Ob bei chronischen Schmerzen, Erschöpfungszuständen oder anderen stressbedingten Beschwerden: Entscheidend für Heilung oder Besserung sind Akzeptanz, Selbstmitgefühl und die Fähigkeit loszulassen. Das mag für manchen, der tapfer versucht, gegen seine Beschwerden anzukämpfen, absurd klingen. Doch bereits Buddha wusste, was mittlerweile in Studien zum Achtsamkeitstraining nachgewiesen wurde: Erst wenn wir aufhören zu kämpfen, wenn wir annehmen, was ist, wenn wir sanft, geduldig und mitfühlend mit uns umgehen, gewinnen wir die Offenheit und die Energie, die notwendig sind, um unsere Selbstheilungskräfte zu aktivieren. In diesem Ratgeber stellt Maren Schneider die wirksamsten Heilmeditationen (Atem-Meditation, Body-Scan, Meditationen im Umgang mit schwierigen Emotionen oder mit Schmerzen, meditative Heilreise durch den Körper) vor...

Six decades after the serendipitous discovery of chlorpromazine as an antipsychotic and four decades after the launch of clozapine, the first atypical or second generation antipsychotic, psychopharmacology has arrived at an important crossroad. It is clear that pharmacological research and pharmaceutical development must now focus on complementary or even alternative mechanisms of action to address unmet medical needs, i.e. poorly treated domains of schizophrenia, improved acceptance by patients, better adherence to medication, safety in psychoses in demented patients, and avoiding cardiac and metabolic adverse effects. The first completely novel mechanisms evolving from our insights into the pathophysiology of psychotic disorders, especially the role of glutamatergic mechanisms in schizophrenia, are now under development, and further principles are on the horizon. This situation, in many respects similar to that when the initial second-generation antipsychotics became available, can b...

An entertaining, deeply informative explanation of how high-level financial crimes work, written "with verve and wit" (The Sunday Times, London) by an industry insider who's an expert in the field.The way most white-collar crime works is by manipulating institutional psychology. That means creating something that looks as much as possible like a normal set of transactions. The drama comes later, when it all unwinds. Financial crime seems horribly complicated, but there are only so many ways you can con someone out of what's theirs. In Lying for Money, veteran regulatory economist and market analyst Dan Davies tells the story of fraud through a genealogy of financial malfeasance, including: the Great Salad Oil swindle, the Pigeon King International fraud, the fictional British colony of Poyais in South America, the Boston Ladies' Deposit Company, the Portuguese Banknote Affair, Theranos, and the Bre-X scam. Davies brings new insights into these schemes and shows ...

Fascinated by the myth of Cupid and Psyche throughout his life, C. S. Lewis reimagines their story from the perspective of Psyche's sister, Orual. 'I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer . . . Why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?' Till We Have Faces is a brilliant examination of envy, betrayal, loss, blame, grief, guilt, and conversion. In this, his final - and most mature and masterful - novel, Lewis reminds us of our own fallibility and the role of a higher power in our lives. Product details Format Paperback | 368 pages ...
