Beauty in Letters
Illuminated addresses were at their most popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They are books, scrolls or certificates presented to individuals, often in celebration of a distinguished service or event.Typically they are written in fine calligraphy and embellished with skilled artwork and lustrous design and are a celebration of an important event, perhaps an honour, particular achievement or a retirement. Each illuminated address is unique. This book tells of these stories and shows the beauty created by the skills of the illuminators.
My Oath & My Honor
How do you define a hero? Your parents can be heroes. A football player who scores a winning touchdown is often referred to as a hero. Then there is Sir Nicholas Winton, whose actions in World War II saved the lives of 669 children. For 50 years, he told almost no one about what he did. When a child he saved, now in his sixties, asked why he did it, he said he felt compelled to do something after seeing the squalid conditions in the Czechoslovakian refugee camps. He recently passed away at the age of 106. A young soldier falling on a grenade to save the lives of his fellow soldiers is another example of a hero. We also have heroes who enter burning buildings to save lives. It is difficult to predict how a person will react when faced with life and death decisions. We would all like to be heroes. But, when faced with extreme situations, some find they are unable to react. Here is a story of some who were able to get it done.

It presents a simple model, the Learning Combination Lock, which enables trainers, coaches, facil...

Trauma, Culture, and Metaphor
In Trauma, Culture, and Metaphor, John Wilson and Jacob Lindy explore the language of both individual and collective trauma in an era dominated by globalization and interconnectedness. Through lucid, careful discussion, this important book builds a bridge between the etymology of trauma-related terms commonly used in Western cultures and those of other cultures, such as the Burundi-Rwandan ihahamuka. It also provides the clinician with a framework for working with trauma survivors using a cross-cultural vocabulary—one often based in metaphor—to fully address the experienced trauma and to begin work on reconnection and self-reinvention.
