DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1975, Alcoholics Anonymous published a book called Living Sober. In it, many alcoholics shared how they stayed sober. Staying sober, after all, is the basis of recovery from alcoholism. Most of us in GreySheeters Anonymous (GSA) agree with the premise that the basis of our recovery from food addiction is learning how to live without bingeing, starving, grazing, or whatever form of abuse our eating took. Using Living Sober as a guide to living in recovery, we have put together our own book called Living Abstinent.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis fascinating book contains the first of two volumes written by Wilhelm Stekel pertaining to the peculiarities of human behaviour, with this volume covering such phenomena as wandering mania, dipsomania, kleptomania, pyromania, and other allied impulsive acts. Stekel was a pioneer of the study of human instinct and emotions, which were examined here for the first time in the light of their developmental history. This fascinating and accessible book details far-reaching investigations into the depths of the human soul, perfect for the student of psychology interested in the intricacies of impulsive behaviour. Chapters contained herein include: "Instinct", "Affect and Impulse"; "The Impulse to Wander"; "Flight into Parapathiac delirium"; "Narcotomania (Drug Addiction)"; "Stealing"; and "The Sexual Roots of Kleptomania". Wilhelm Stekel (1868 - 1940) was an Austrian psychologist and physician. He was an early follower of the seminal Sigmund Freud, often described as Freud's most distinguished pupil and commonly hailed as one of the founding fathers of modern psychoanalytical methodology. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen this work was first published in the first hald of the last century, sexology and the unprejudiced study of sexual activity was in its infancy. In his study of human sexual behaviour, Kinsey was able to state that the majority of human beings had masturbated at one time or another but to us today this seems quite an astonishing statement to have made. The study of human sexuality was surrounded by ignorance and superstition, and the medical profession was regrettably the worst offender and the most ignored. In such a climate, Dr Stekel’s book was a revelation much ahead of its time. This edition first published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents an early modern Jesuit attitude towards Hindu and Ethiopian strains of asceticism. The Jesuits’ descriptions of both the yogis and the Ethiopian renunciates were marked by ambivalence. While critical of these ascetics, the missionaries also pointed out admirable facets of their comportment. In both the Society of Jesus’ positive and negative impressions, there are glaring ethnocentric views that shift the spotlight onto the other’s flaws. Like many historical cases, these perceptions evolved into a sort of inverted mirror image of the self that revealed differences between the European Catholic and the native renunciate.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI’ve been there. Young, single, in a relationship and overwhelmed with the messages the media throws at our society, especially teens and young adults. We frequently hear “you should be this; you should try this; you should have sex; you should be in a relationship.” We are being bombarded with messages and ideas that tell us that having sex outside of marriage is okay, in fact, good. We are being told that having sex with multiple partners is acceptable, as long as you “use protection.” We frequently hear that being abstinent is abnormal. The truth is, being sexually abstinent is a wonderful experience and the right thing to do. As a matter of fact, being abstinent can safeguard you from the negative consequences [spiritually, mentally and physically] that come with premarital sex. Did you know that sex is not just a physical act, but it involves your total self- spirit, soul and body? I Choose to Wait is designed to inspire, encourage, advise and mentor anyone on how to live a life of purity, abstinence and holiness. This book is primarily for: - anyone who is abstinent and intends to remain so - anyone who may have been sexually active and wants to be abstinent - anyone who isn’t sure about what being abstinent means and has a desire to find out more, or - anyone who desires to share this timely message and bless lives around the world, to the glory of God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe dramatic representation of maritime spaces, characters and plots in Restoration and early eighteenth-century English theatres served as a crucial discursive negotiation of a burgeoning empire. This study focuses on staging the sea in a period of growing maritime, commercial and colonial activity, a time when the prominence of the sea and shipping was firmly established in the very fabric of English life. As theatres were re-established after the Restoration, playhouses soon became very visible spaces of cultural activity and important locales for staging cultural contact and conflict. Plays staging the sea can be read as central in representing the budding maritime empire to metropolitan audiences, as well as negotiating political power and knowledge about the other. The study explores well-known plays by authors such as Aphra Behn and William Wycherley alongside a host of more obscure plays by authors such as Edward Ravenscroft and Charles Gildon as cultural performances for negotiating cultural identity and difference in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
