Het is september 1942. Midden op de Stille Oceaan vaart het hospitaalschip Benevolence, op een missie om mensenlevens te redden. Dan, totaal onverwachts, wordt het schip doormidden gekliefd door een torpedo. Een klein groepje overlevenden, onder wie de gewonde Japanse soldaat Akira en de jonge Amerikaanse verpleegster Annie, slagen erin een onbewoond eiland te bereiken.Akira is al vijf jaar in dienst van het Japanse keizerrijk, jaren van bloedvergieten en gruwelen. Op het eiland ziet hij zich omringd door vijanden die hij zou moeten haten, maar in wier gezelschap hij juist troost vindt en door wie hij zijn liefde voor poëzie herontdekt. Deze liefde deelt hij met Annie, en samen worstelen ze met de spoken uit het verleden en de uitdagingen in de toekomst. Ook de andere schipbreukelingen proberen zich elk op hun eigen manier staande te houden op het eiland, in een miniatuurwereld die zowel barbaars als schitterend is, vol zowel haat als liefde, vol verboden en verleidingen...

This book presents a genetic-phenomenological approach of existential psychotherapy, articulating its theoretical underpinnings with principles supported by scientific evidence and concluding with clinical examples.The volume also offers a clear perspective about the relational stances and the therapeutic interventions of existential psychotherapy and how both can be combined and applied in the clinical practice. It begins with an overview and update on psychotherapy research, from which a set of therapeutic principles are drawn. It then conceptualizes the theoretical underpinnings of the genetic-phenomenological approach, based on three main aspects: inner-time consciousness, the experiential self, and the passive synthesis theory. It concludes with practical examples of case conceptualizations and clinical cases. This work is particularly relevant for trainees, students, and professionals of clinical psychology and psychotherapy, but also other mental health professionals that work in the area of the psychological and psychotherapeutic interventions.
This title is the first comprehensive book on sampling and modern sample preparation techniques and has several main objectives: to facilitate recognition of sample preparation as both an integral part of the analytical process; to present a fundamental basis and unified theoretical approach for the professional development of sample preparation; to emphasize new developments in sample preparation technology; and to highlight the future impact of sample preparation on new directions in analytical science, particularly automation, miniaturization and field implementation. Until recently, there has been relatively little scientific interest in sampling and sample preparation, however this situ...

Every Family is Created by God God forms families in many different ways and sizes, but all are equally important and special. When adopted son Calvin needs to tell about his family for a class assignment, he discovers his parents were praying for him long before they chose him. Not only that, but God chose them for Calvin.

Marine fishes have been intensively studied, and some of the fundamental ideas in the science of marine ecology have emerged from the body of knowledge derived from this diverse group of organisms. This unique, authoritative, and accessible reference, compiled by 35 luminary ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and ichthyologists, provides a synthesis and interpretation of the large, often daunting, body of information on the ecology of marine fishes. The focus is on the fauna of the eastern Pacific, especially the fishes of the California coast, a group among the most diverse and best studied of all marine ecosystems. A generously illustrated and comprehensive source of information, this volume will also be an important launching pad for future research and will shed new light on the study of marine fish ecology worldwide. The contributors touch on many fields in biology, including physiology, development, genetics, behavior, ecology, and evolution. The book includes sections on the history of research, both published and unpublished data, sections on collecting techniques, and references to important earlier studies.
