Kennedy. Norristown offers a delightful flashback to the fascinating history of this community through vintage photographs from area residents and organizations.

Download or read book The Olympian Leap written by Cynthia Culbreath and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Olympian Leap: The Life and Legacy of Josh Culbreath is a moving tribute to an immensely talented, world-renowned athlete. His name struck apprehension in the hearts of all his opponents. His sly grin and infectious smile let his competitors know he would kick butt. Josh was a gifted athlete in high school, and they proclaimed him the country's second-top high school hurdler in the country. Described as the "Martin Luther King of athletics", he was a fierce opponent who was humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Kudos to Olympic gold medalist Dr. Edwin Moses, who wrote the Foreword for this book. Dr. Edwin Moses stated in his foreword that Josh Culbreath was one of his "true heroes... and mentors" in his hurdling career. Cynthia Culbreath brings him to life in a gripping sports biography of her cousin's history, leaving no detail untold. Segregated events of his era shaped who he became during his lifetime, and their pasts converged in one explosive moment. Let us remember Josh as someone who overcame tremendous obstacles and triumphed in the life of track and field. This book tells how he won the Olympics, overcame challenges, and covers his distinguished career as an American hero. His story can be called the "Olympian Leap" because his jumping ability was second to none, and he broke world records, which led him to gain immense prestige. Only after you finish reading his story will you understand why people are stunned by his achievements. Please read this book and see what it feels like to soar higher than any other human being ever has.

Book Synopsis Understanding Psychosis by : Donald Capps
Download or read book Understanding Psychosis written by Donald Capps and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Severe mental illness afflicts many men and women throughout their lives, often without warning, and almost always with devastating results. This book takes a look at psychosis, and contends that although the delusions and hallucinations of the psychotic person are misguided and confused, they are understandable when viewed in the context of a person's life. Using real life examples, Capps covers the prevalence of psychotic illness; the long-range effects of deinstitutionalization on mentally ill persons, their families, and their communities; family members' responses to their mentally ill relative; rehabilitation and prevention approaches and methods; the nature of delusions and hallucinations; the delusional belief that one is someone else; and the realization of mental stability.
