Beautifully written, funny and organized in a way that students and the general public will understand complex notions about stress." - Sonia Lupien, Director of the Centre for Studies on Human Stress, University of Montreal "Perfect for my stress and cognition module, accessible and informative, great level of detail." - James Byron-Daniel, University of the West of England, Bristol An Introduction to Stress and Health is the first textbook to fuse the psychosocial with newer behavioural neuroscience perspectives. It provides a broad perspective of the multiple biological processes influenced by stressful events, the conditions that allow for either exacerbation or diminution of these stressor effects, and the pathological conditions that can emerge as a result of stressful events. Anisman systematically reviews the key research over the past 30 years and presents his insights in a lively, interesting pedagogical fashion to allow you to fully appreciate the diversity of the field of stress and its impact on our health. Key features include: A consideration of the value of numerous therapeutic strategies to diminish distress and stress-related pathologies. An exploration of many new conceptual perspectives relevant to stress processes and pathology. Information is presented in an easy-to-read manner with lots of pointers to the key concepts to remember. An Introduction to Stress and Health is an indispensable text for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in health psychology, stress, health and illness.

Book excerpt: If you live in the United States of America - It is an inescapable fact - your life is controlled by something or someone. Certainly you "believe" yourself to be independent and self-controlling, but that is far from the reality. History, environment, family, relatives, friends, and society all play a significant role in shaping your daily activity. This work is presented in three parts. The Self Control Discipline teaches how to rise above the norm and possess control in a manner that will change forever the way you perceive others through your own eyes. More important, it will change forever the way others see and interact with you. The Sexual Control Discipline demonstrates how to control others sexually attracted to you. Make no mistake; we live in a sexual society. Although most women erroneously believe they possess the ability to control men in the sexual environment, this work will show them their belief is wrong and misguided. Learn to take advantage of the premise regardless of your sexual inclinations. The Environmental Control Discipline teaches how to control those in your surrounds, including your boss, significant other, children, family, and friends. In the final analysis-If one wants to control mice One cannot be a mouse.

Book excerpt: Morris White escaped the crime and working-class roots in the Philly projects by learning to cook. He's got great taste and impeccable kitchen skills, and now he's a Sous Chef at a first-rate Philadelphia French bistro. The stove burners aren't the only thing that's on fire in Morris's life, since his affair with Vicky Ward has just heated up. She's the manager at the bistro and comes from money and a privileged background. Together, they're dreaming of opening their own restaurant, where she'll run the front-of-the-house business and he'll run the kitchen. But their dream gets sidetracked when Morris takes in his half-brother, Vince Kammer, who's just been released from prison. Vince did time for a jewelry store robbery that went sideways, and the local mob boss who bankrolled the crime, Johnny "Stacks" Staccardo, is insisting that Vince pull another job to make up for the loss of the jewels he never received. Johnny Stacks has his gangster wannabe henchmen, Lenny and Mo, riding Vince pretty hard, and to make matters worse, Dick Franks, the corrupt cop who originally investigated the jewelry store heist, has gotten wind that Vince is out of the can. Franks believes Vince has the missing diamonds, and there's not much that Franks won't do to get his hands on those stones. When Morris discovers Vince's predicament, he has to summon the inner tough guy from his youth (and dig up a gun he had hidden away), to keep Vince from doing anything stupid. Caught between the gangsters, the vicious Dick Franks, and Vince's own desire for revenge, Morris risks losing his new love, his dreams, even his life in order to save Vince from himself. Praise for DARK AS NIGHT: "Dark as Night is a funny, violent, and damn near perfect noir. If you like your heroes flawed, your villains amoral, and your body count high, you might well think that Mark T. Conard has been reading your mind. A fantastic debut." -Tod Goldberg, author of Living Dead Girl "If you crossed Anthony Bourdain's Bone in the Throat with Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant and threw in a little bit of Carl Hiaasen for good measure you might get something like Mark T. Conard's funny and brutal Dark as Night. He's one to watch." -Scott Phillips, author of The Walkaway

Book excerpt: Shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the crises of the twenty-first century In an increasingly globalized world, a complex and interlocking web of nations, governments, non-state actors, laws, and rules affect human behavior. When crisis hits—whether that be extrajudicial detention, unprompted deportation, pandemics, or natural disasters—lawyers are increasingly among the first responders, equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate the regulations of this ever more complex world. Crisis Lawyering explores this phenomenon and attempts to identify and define what it means to engage in the practice of law in crisis situations. In so doing, it hopes to sketch out the contours of the emerging field of crisis lawyering. Contributors to this volume explore cases surrounding domestic violence; dealing with immigrants in detention and banned from travel; policing in Ferguson, Missouri; the kidnapping of journalists; and climate change, among other crises. Their analysis not only serves as guidance to lawyers in such situations, but also helps others who deal with crises understand those crises—and the role of lawyers in them—better so that they may respond to them more effectively, efficiently, collaboratively and creatively. Crisis Lawyering shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the complex crises of the twenty-first century.

The past, present, and future mentioned in the title of this book refers more to lifestyle theory's ability to clarify the past, present, and future of human experience than the past, present, and future of lifestyle theory.

Book excerpt: In "Grasping at the Wind," the author takes you on a journey through the peaks and valleys of his life struggles with addiction. Starting with his birth in Chicago, Illinois, he weaves his story into historical events from slavery to the present. In this book, the author discusses and dissects the problems of teen pregnancy, gangs, drugs, the "pimp syndrome" and many more issues that tear at the fabric of our nation using his life in the streets as a backdrop for these discussions... He discusses the futility of living life apart from God. The book then gives practical biblical solutions to these problems with the knowledge that there is not anything impossible with God (Luke 1:37). "Grasping at the Wind" is for everyone struggling to fulfill his/her purpose in God. Alfred Long is an Associate Minister at the Shalom Church (City of Peace) in St. Louis, MO. He is the founder of Jacob's Ladder Ministries and conducts workshops and seminars on addictions and related issues. He holds a Masters in Biblical Counseling from Masters International School of Divinity. He is the father of three children and two grandchildren.

Book excerpt: A nation that fails to protect its borders is not a nation at all. Rather, its a place that invites chaos, criminals, and subversives that will lead the land to become a mere footnote in the annals of history. Edger J. Burton explores how a nation that was once united is divided and in danger of coming apart at the seams in this extended essay that tackles the divisive issues that so many others avoid, such as race, gender, and ideology. Meanwhile, professional politicians with slick slogans like hope and change and fundamental transformation, continue to dupe the public into believing what they want about the future. The real meaning of these slogans, the author argues, is simply to get elected. Its time to seek real solutions to problems before theyre too big to solve. If we fail to fight back against misguided agendas, then it will only be a matter of time before the government, its people, and this once-great nation become irrelevant.

Book excerpt: Cultural criminology has now emerged as a distinct theoretical perspective, and as a notable intellectual alternative to certain aspects of contemporary criminology. Cultural criminology attempts to theorize the interplay of cultural processes, media practices, and crime; the emotional and embodied dimensions of crime and victimization; the particular characteristics of crime within late modern/late capitalist culture; and the role of criminology itself in constructing the reality of crime. In this sense cultural criminology not only offers innovative theoretical models for making sense of crime, criminality, and crime control, but presents as well a critical theory of criminology as a field of study. This collection is designed to highlight each of these dimensions of cultural criminology - its theoretical foundations, its current theoretical trajectories, and its broader theoretical critiques-by presenting the best of cultural criminological work from the United States, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere.
