English | ISBN: 019067878X | 2018 | 264 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 10 MB
The topic of trauma has been covered in many books, and there are many publications covering the use of SFBT in different settings and with varied client populations. However, the convergence of these topics has, to date, been covered only minutely. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with Clients Managing Trauma is a comprehensive overview of how Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) can be used as a treatment approach for working with clients managing various forms of trauma. It includes an overview of SFBT's basic tenets, a description of the current research supporting SFBT as an evidence-based practice, and a comparison of how SFBT clinicians may approach trauma cases differently than clinicians from other therapeutic approaches. The bulk of the text uniquely includes chapters contributed by skilled SFBT clinicians, with differing clinical expertise, sharing their knowledge and describing their strength-based, resiliency focus of applying SFBT in different traumatic circumstances. Practitioners and even Master's/doctoral students will find this text invaluable in learning how to best help traumatized clients develop a positive future and move toward healing and health.

Sleep Paralysis: Historical, Psychological, and Medical Perspectives by Brian A. Sharpless, Karl Doghramji
English | July 22, 2015 | ISBN: 0199313806 | EPUB | 304 pages | 6.9 MB
Humans throughout history have described a peculiar state between wakefulness and sleep during which they are consciously aware of their surroundings, but physically paralyzed. Sleep paralysis is also commonly accompanied by high levels of fear, feelings of suffocation, and hallucinations (i.e., waking dreams). Early interpretations of this event were that it was an actual attack by malevolent and supernatural entities such as demons, ghosts, or witches. Some of these beliefs persist to the present day in the form of nocturnal visitations by extraterrestrials and shadow people.

Short Selling: Strategies, Risks, and Rewards By Cliff Asness, Frank J. Fabozzi
2004 | 435 Pages | ISBN: 0471660205 | PDF | 6 MB
This is an insightful book that makes a great case for the importance and need for short selling. It chornicles the bias toward optimism in the marketplace and this is especially relevant after we have had two bubbles burst in the last 10 years associated with excessive optimism. This is a nice compliment to the work that has been done in regard to capital market efficiency, etc. I recommend this to intermediate to advanced financial-minded people who want a different perspective on pricing and investor motivation.

David Prerau, "Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 1560256559 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 13.0 mb
Benjamin Franklin conceived of it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle endorsed it. Winston Churchill campaigned for it. Kaiser Wilhelm first employed it. Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt went to war with it, and more recently the United States fought an energy crisis with it. For several months every year, for better or worse, daylight savings time affects vast numbers of people throughout the world. And from Ben Franklin's era to today, its story has been an intriguing and sometimes-bizarre amalgam of colorful personalities and serious technical issues, purported costs and perceived benefits, conflicts between interest groups and government policymakers. It impacts diverse and unexpected areas, including agricultural practices, street crime, the reporting of sports scores, traffic accidents, the inheritance rights of twins, and voter turnout. Illustrated with a popular look at science and history, Seize the Daylight presents an intriguing and surprisingly entertaining story of our attempt to regulate the sunlight hours.
