The Unseen Leader
The Unseen Leader delivers one simple but immensely powerful point: we need to radically rethink how we discuss leadership. In this book, American historian Martin Gutmann passionately challenges the received wisdom that history's great leaders were individuals with a proclivity for action and brash words. Drawing on extensive historical scholarship and contemporary leadership theory, Gutmann delves into the journeys of four unknown or misunderstood leaders who achieved remarkable successes in vastly different environments—the Polar North, the deserts of Arabia, the sugar plantations of the Caribbean, and Second World War London. What emerges is an entirely new narrative on leadership. Contrary to the perception of heroic protagonists forging ahead boldly, history's truly great leaders were often precisely those who didn't need to generate excessive noise or activity. Instead, they skillfully minimized dramatic circumstances. Their stories challenge our present-day conception of leadership and can inspire the leaders of tomorrow.
Have You Ever Wondered?
Churches do an excellent job of discipling members in daily application of the principles of Christianity. Traditional Bible study groups tend to focus on individual books. But where do inquisitive Christians find answers to topics – sometimes perplexing – about their faith? Dr. Barton’s first book, Seeking Understanding Faith, focused on exploring God and interactive faith. This book explores answers to questions about the Bible. When did time begin? Did Jesus really have to die? Why do we celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas? What happened to the apostles? Have You Ever Wondered? addresses such questions.
American Apocalypse
The deep political divide that is growing ever more apparent is a far cry from our Founder’s envisioned Utopia. Whether through hate mongering, religious-political extortion, bold-faced lies, or outright treason, our political leaders are bringing forth the apocalypse of the American ethos. It is important to note that George Washington had a fixed opinion on the punishment of traitors hanging. This absolutism is exactly what he expected his successors and Congress to adhere to as they, like himself, nobly put country before self. We are infinitely removed from the glory days of integrity and honor. Reason, logic, and facts have become sacrilegious with the ever-increasing religious stranglehold on our political system.

Handbook of Classical Sociological Theory
This is the first handbook focussing on classical social theory. It offers extensive discussions of debates, arguments, and discussions in classical theory and how they have informed contemporary sociological theory. The book pushes against the conventional classical theory pedagogy, which often focused on single theorists and their contributions, and looks at isolating themes capturing the essence of the interest of classical theorists that seem to have relevance to modern research questions and theoretical traditions. This book presents new approaches to thinking about theory in relationship to sociological methods.
Life of Brain
This book is about everything that goes on in your conscious experience: sensations, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, imagination, plans, expectations. It’s also about your conscious experience of self, the sense that there is a YOU behind everything, a YOU that is having all these experiences, a YOU that seems to control all those activities of the mind. Some of the questions it explores: - What is conscious experience? - How did it evolve? - Why did it evolve? - How does it develop in the young child? - What can we do with it? - Why might it cause us problems? - Why is it still a mystery? This book is NOT about the neurological landscape and its functions studied by the neuroscientist ar...

History of Psychology through Symbols
Volume Two of The History of Psychology through Symbols continues a groundbreaking approach of using symbols to deepen the understanding of psychological history as well as the importance of how one lives, an emphasis on engagement with symbols and with specific exercises, called emancipatory opportunities, to apply the lessons of psychological history to daily life. From the birth of modern psychology in the laboratory of Wilhelm Wundt, Volume Two discusses how the early theories of voluntarism, structuralism, evolution, and pragmatism influenced the modern development of psychology. The importance of making unconscious shadow forces in science conscious is explored through the impact of th...
Somatic Movement Dance Therapy
This book focuses on Somatic Movement Dance Therapy and the importance of self-regulation and co-regulation. The chapters attend to self-regulating different tissues through movement, breath, sound and the imagination. Throughout the book the author shares processes and practices that support participants to balance their living tissues, moving from sympathetic arousal into parasympathetic ease and release. The study of the autonomic nervous system and how to innervate the parasympathetic through breath awareness, heart-sensing and intero-ception is the central through-line in the book. Uniquely, Williamson attends to the anatomical and physiological complexity underlying the apparent simpli...
