From yoga to neuroscience, a tour of major ideas about the body and mind. Body psychotherapy, which examines the relationship of bodily and physical experiences to emotional and psychological experiences, seems at first glance to be a relatively new area and on the cutting edge of psychotherapeutic theory and practice. It is, but the major concepts of body/mind treatment are actually drawn from a wide range of historical material, material that spans centuries and continents. Here, in a massively comprehensive book, Michael Heller summarizes all the major concepts, thinkers, and movements whose work has led to the creation of the field we now know as body/mind psychotherapy. The book covers everything from Eastern and Western thought—beginning with yoga and Taosim and moving to Plato and Descartes. It also discusses major developments in biology—how organisms are defined—and neuroscience. This is truly a comprehensive reference for anyone interested in the origins of the idea that the mind and body are not separate and that both must be understood together in order to understand people and their behavior.
Memoirs of a Saudi Pilot: In the Beautiful State of Alabama (USA) is an exciting and revealing book about the wonders and culture shock experienced by a traditional, conservative Islamic Arab coming to the United States for the first time, creating some unforgettable memories.

Moreover, this was further highlighted during the Second Gulf War, Desert Shield, Desert Storm." The main characters are his colleagues in military training from 1983 to 2011. "I was deeply motivated by wonderful American colleagues in training who were always there to help, and yet were willing to share in my culture and religion, much as I was trying to understand theirs."

awarded art ist eine Kunstbuchreihe, die aus dem Wunsch entstanden ist, zeitgenössischen Künstlern eine Plattform zu geben, um ihre Werke einem breiteren Publikum zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Durch die Betrachtung kann jedes Kunstwerk ebenso passiv wie auch aktiv den Betrachter zu eigener Kreativität anregen oder den Wunsch wecken, es sich anzueignen. Durch direkte Kontaktmöglichkeiten zu den Künstlern gibt es ein Netzwerk von Kunstschaffenden und Kunstliebhabern, die im besten Fall beide Seiten zugleich befriedigen können.
