Two Discourses of the Navy 1638 and 1659 by John Hollond

Two Discourses of the Navy 1638 and 1659 by John Hollond

John Hollond had a chequered career as a naval administrator punctuated by his charges of corruption against his colleagues circulated in these two manuscripts and their counter-charges against him but his Discourses are uniquely informative. There is also printed Sir Robert Slyngesbie’s Discourse of the Navy written in 1660 when he had just become Controller for the information of Charles II and a number of other documents which amplify or explain Hollond’s narrative. | Two Discourses of the Navy 1638 and 1659 by John Hollond

Louis I. Kahn—Architect Remembering the Man and Those Who Surrounded Him

Louis I. Kahn—Architect Remembering the Man and Those Who Surrounded Him

Few people in the history of art and architecture have planted a seed of inspiration that grew to become a towering oak of lasting influence. There are those particularly colleagues and students of Louis I. Kahn who would say that he was one of these people. Certainly Kahn was one of the foremost architects of the twentieth century designing such famous landmarks as the National Assembly Building in Dhaka Bangladesh; the Salk Institute in La Jolla California; and the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth Texas. In this commemorative volume Charles E. Dagit Jr. shows the power and influence that Kahn displayed at the University of Pennsylvania department of architecture in the 1960s. Since Dagit knew Kahn personally this is a factual history as well as a glimpse into Kahn's personal wisdom and humanity. Beginning with a prelude that starts with the author's undergraduate years at the University of Pennsylvania Dagit launches readers on an intellectual journey of how he first met Kahn. From there he details his experiences with Kahn and explores Kahn's interactions with Penn faculty members including Mario Romanach Robert LeRicolais and Aldo Giurgola. This first-hand account sheds fascinating new light on one of the most prominent architects of the twentieth century. | Louis I. Kahn—Architect Remembering the Man and Those Who Surrounded Him

Counselling for Toads A Psychological Adventure

Counselling for Toads A Psychological Adventure

'Toad' the famous character in Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows is in a very depressed state and his good friends Rat Mole and Badger are 'worried that he might do something silly'. First they nursed him. Then they encouraged him. Then they told him to pull himself together. Finally Badger could stand it no longer. That admirable animal though long on exhortation was short on patience. 'Now look here Toad this can go on no longer' he said sternly. 'There is only one thing left. You must have counselling!'Robert de Board's engaging account of Toad's experience of counselling will capture the imagination of the growing readership of people who are interested in counselling and the counselling process. Written as a real continuation of life on the River Bank Toad and his friends come to life all over again. Heron the counsellor uses the language and ideas of transactional analysis as his counselling method. Through the dialogues which make up the ten sessions or chapters of the book Toad learns how to analyse his own feelings and develop his emotional intelligence. He meets his 'rebellious child' and his 'adult' along the way and by the end of the book as debonair as ever he was is setting out on a completely new adventure. As readers learn about Toad so they can learn about themselves and be encouraged to take the path of psychological growth and development. Best-selling author Robert de Board says: 'Toad's experiences are based on my own experiences of counselling people over a period of twenty years. Counselling for Toads is really an amalgamation of the many counselling sessions I have held and contains a distillation of the truths I have learnt from practice. 'Appropriate for anyone approaching counselling for the first time whether as a student or as a client or for the professional counsellor looking for something to recommend to the hesitant Counselling for Toads will appeal to bo | Counselling for Toads A Psychological Adventure

Resurrection Songs The Poetry of Thomas Lovell Beddoes

Resurrection Songs The Poetry of Thomas Lovell Beddoes

This title was first published in 2001. Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803-49) was a powerful poet of the English Romantic period who has been and is still strangely neglected by critics. His macabre blank verse dramatic writings and his delicately balanced lyrics have both won ardent admirers such as Browning Gosse Pound and Christopher Ricks. Yet there are formal and generic problems in Beddoes's writings which continue to marginalize him as merely an eccentric and the canon of Romanticism seems to have found no place for him. | Resurrection Songs The Poetry of Thomas Lovell Beddoes

Doing Anthropology A Guide By and For Students and Their Professors

Towards Death with Dignity Caring for Dying People

Towards Death with Dignity Caring for Dying People

The explosion of literature on the once taboo topic of death and dying in the late 1970s had tended to pass the professional social worker by. Originally published in 1981 it was to fill this important gap that Towards Death with Dignity was written. Not since Kubler-Ross’s now classic On Death and Dying has a book in the field of terminal care been informed by so much first-hand experience and so much case material allowing the caregiver to learn from the dying person himself how best to help him towards a dignified death. Sylvia Poss’s sensitive elucidation of what the dying person must do for himself in order to master his terminal crisis was welcomed as a major contribution to psychosocial knowledge at the time. Having outlined the dying person’s side of the crisis she turns to the perspective of those who hope to help him towards death – other patients nurses doctors paramedical staff and social workers chaplains volunteers employers relatives and friends. Towards Death with Dignity focuses on three of social work’s major methods: social casework community work and teaching. Not only does Sylvia Poss outline what may need to be done by the caregiver but she also illustrates how; she further outlines how to prepare for social work in the terminal care field and suggests an effective method for teaching terminal care skills. Her book also provided for the first time a synthesis of other recent work in the field to help social workers through what had become a plethora of specialist psychosocial and medical literature. Towards Death with Dignity was thus a useful practical guide both for laymen and for the many professionals involved in this aspect of the health care field. It will also be valuable for those who are involved personally in moving towards their own death or are being called upon to be involved in some way in the death of a relative neighbour or friend. | Towards Death with Dignity Caring for Dying People
