Children, Morality and Society
by Sam FrankelChildren and questions of moral behaviour are prominent social discourses. Adult attitudes towards children and their recognition of right and wrong impact upon society deeply, shaping the ways in which we think about children's participation, their citizenship and how they are 'governed' within the community. But upon what basis are such practices and policies built and how do they reflect the reality of social life for children? This work argues that much of society's thinking in relation to children and questions around social behaviour are linked to misplaced assumptions that are routed in views from the past. However, it is by engaging with children though a sociological perspective that it becomes clear that morality is not something that just happens to children but is part of their everyday lives. By drawing on empirical research this book highlights the extent to which children engage with questions of morality as they seek to navigate the complexities of the social world around them, arguing that children should be seen as active members of society with both the capacity and understanding to grapple with discourses of morality.

Chinese Alchemy: Taoism, the Power of Gold, and the Quest for Immortality (Mind, Body, Knowledge Ser.)
by Jean CooperHere in one slender volume are the essentials to a tradition that dates back to 3,000 B.C. Among the topics covered here are: 1. The origins of Chinese alchemy 2. The quest for gold and immortality 3. The role of minerals and plants, medicines, astrology, yoga, and magic in Chinese alchemy 4. Alchemy in the East and in the West Chinese alchemy, largely associated with Taoism, has a recorded history of more than 2000 years, but traditionally it goes back even further, to the Yellow Emperor and his Three Immortal Ladies, some 3000 years BC. While Western alchemy was concerned with the search for spiritual and material gold, classic Taoist alchemy was a mystical quest for immortality. But like Western alchemy, it was as spiritual quest, its aim being union with the Absolute. J.C. Cooper describes the history and development of Taoist alchemy, compares it with similar traditions in India and Turkistan, and gives it context by contrasting it with the rationale of the Western hermetic tradition. As she writes in her concluding chapter: "The whole work of alchemy is summed up in the phrase 'To make of the body a spirit and of the spirit a body'...The goal of the Taoist alchemist-mystic was transformation, or perhaps more correctly, transfiguration, of the whole body until it ceases to 'be' and is absorbed into and becomes the Tao."

Chinese Medicine for Maximum Immunity: Understanding the Five Elemental Types for Health and Well-being
by Jason Elias Katherine KetchamThe Five Elements of Self-Healing grows out of herbalist and acupuncturist Jason Elias's conviction that the nature of the illnesses that he has encountered in his patients has changed dramatically since he started practicing complementary medicine twenty-five years ago. Every week he sees patients with disorders that were much less common fifteen or twenty years ago: chronic allergies, adult-onset diabetes, eczema, chronic fatigue syndrome, environmental illness, irritable bowel syndrome, lupus, and many different kinds of cancer. Reflecting on the health crises now facing us and on the connection between the rise in chronic immune disorders and toxic environmental and lifestyle patterns, Elias and collaborator Katherine Ketcham looked to the 5,000-year-old account of Chinese medicine, The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine, to seek the clues for restoring the balance of body and mind and finding the pathway to health and harmony. The result is The Five Elements of Self-Healing, which shows readers how to use the preventive strategies and gentle, supportive remedies of traditional Chinese medicine to heal contemporary chronic illnesses and bolster immunity, wellness, and mind-body harmony. The Five Elements of Self-Healing explores the Five Element System, the unique classification and diagnostic system that is the basis of traditional Chinese medicine. The first part of the book teaches readers how to identify which of the five elements--Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water--most directly influences their physical, emotional, and spiritual beings, and which imbalances in these energies can lead to particular physical, emotional, and spiritual disorders. The authors give detailed suggestions for restoring mind-body harmony and maintaining immunity and wellness, including stress- reduction techniques, dietary and exercise regimens, and the use of Chinese and Western herbs, nutritional supplements, and acupressure. In the second part of the book, the authors outline the causes, symptoms, and treatments of the most common immune system disorders, from the relatively benign colds and flus to the more chronic and distressing problems of allergies, asthma, and chronic fatigue syndrome and the life-threatening diseases of diabetes and cancer. With step-by-step instructions for self-treatment, inspiring case studies of Elias's patients' recoveries, and engaging stories from diverse folk traditions, The Five Elements of Self-Healing creates a system of medicine that honors the whole person: body and mind and spirit. Shining the light of ancient wisdom into the shadows of modern disease, this book guides readers toward a broader understanding of the art of self-healing.
Chinta: चिंता
by Dada Bhagwanचिंता से काम बिगड़ते हैं, ऐसा कुदरत का नियम है। चिंता मुक्त होने से सभी काम सुधरते हैं। पढ़े-लिखे खाते-पीते घरों के लोगों को अधिक चिंता और तनाव हैं। तुलनात्मक रूप से, मज़दूरी करनेवाले, चिंता रहित होते हैं और चैन से सोते हैं। उनके ऊपरी (बॉस) को नींद की गोलियाँ लेनी पड़ती हैं। चिंता से लक्ष्मी भी चली जाती है। दादाश्री के जीवन का एक छोटा सा उदाहरण है। जब उन्हें व्यापार में घाटा हुआ, तो वे किस तरह चिंता मुक्त हुए। “एक समय, ज्ञान होने से पहले, हमें घाटा हुआ था। तब हमें पूरी रात नींद नहीं आई और चिंता होती रहती थी। तब भीतर से उत्तर मिला की इस घाटे की चिंता अभी कौन-कौन कर रहा होगा? मुझे लगा कि मेरे साझेदार तो शायद चिंता नहीं भी कर रहे होंगे। अकेला मैं ही चिंता कर रहा हूँ। और बीवी-बच्चे वगैरह भी हैं, वे तो कुछ जानते भी नहीं। अब वे कुछ जानते भी नहीं, तब भी उनका चलता है, तो मैं अकेला ही कम अक्लवाला हूँ, जो सारी चिंताएँ लेकर बैठा हूँ। फिर मुझे अक्ल आ गई, क्योंकि वे सभी साझेदार होकर भी चिंता नहीं करते, तो क्यों मैं अकेला ही चिंता किया करूँ?” चिंता क्या है? सोचना समस्या नहीं है। अपने विचारों में तन्मयाकर हुआ कि चिंता शुरू। ‘कर्ता’ कौन हैं, यह समझ में आ जाए तभी चिंता जाएगी।

Chinta: ચિંતા
by Dada Bhagwanચિંતાથી કામ બગડે છે, એ કુદરતનો નિયમ છે. ચિંતાથી મુક્તિ કામ સુધારે છે. ભણેલા-ગણેલા અને સાધન સંપન્ન લોકો પણ ઉંચા સ્તરની ચિંતા અને તનાવથી પીડાય છે. મજુરો ચિંતા કરતા નથી અને તેમને સારી ઊંઘ આવે છે, તેની સરખામણીમાં એમના ઉપરીઓને ઊંઘની ગોળીઓ લેવી પડે છે. જેઓ ચિંતા કરે છે તેઓ પોતાની મિલકત ગુમાવે છે. અહીં એક નાનો દાખલો પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીના શબ્દોમાં છે કે જયારે તેમને ધંધા માં ખોટ ગઈ ત્યારે તેઓ તેમની ચિંતાઓનો અંત કેવી રીતે લાવ્યા. “ એક વખત અમારા ધંધામાં ખોટ ગઈ. આ આત્મજ્ઞાન થયા પહેલાંની વાત છે. તે વખતે, હું ચિંતા કરીને આખી રાત અજંપામાં રહ્યો. પછી મને અંદરથી જવાબ મળ્યો. આ ખોટને લીધે અત્યારે બીજા કોણ કોણ ચિંતા કરે છે? મને એમ લાગ્યું કે મારા ભાગીદાર તો વખતે અત્યારે ચિંતા ના કરતા હોય ! મે શોધી કાઢ્યું કે હું જ એકલો ચિંતા કરતો હતો. મારા બૈરી–છોકરાઓ બધા ભાગીદાર છે છતાંપણ તેઓ કોઈ શું થઇ રહ્યું છે તે જાણતા નથી. હવે એ બધા નથી જાણતા તોય એમનું ચાલે છે. હું એકલો જ અક્કલ વગરનો તે ચિંતા કરું છું. જયારે બીજા, જેઓ મારા ભાગીદાર છે તેઓ ચિંતા નથી કરતા, તો ચિંતાનો બધો મારે એકલાએ શા માટે ઉપાડવો જોઈએ? ચિંતા શું છે? વિચારો એ સમસ્યા નથી. જયારે પોતે વિચારોમાં લાગણીવશ થઇ તન્મયાકાર થાય છે ત્યારે ચિંતા શરુ થાય છે.

Chocolate & Vicodin: My Quest for Relief from the Headache That Wouldn't Go Away
by Jennette FuldaThe humorous and touching memoir of a woman who's been seeking relief from a headache for more than two years. Jennette Fulda was riding high on the success of her first book, Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir, until one fateful day in February 2008, when she developed a headache--and it never went away. So she dealt with it the best way she knows how: by writing about it. And eating lots of chocolate. In Chocolate and Vicodin, Jennette explores her change of identity from "the girl who lost hundreds of pounds" to "the girl who lives with constant pain," and all she's had to endure to try and make the pain stop--from a bevy of expensive, time-consuming tests, which have taught her interesting facts (for example, that an MRI does indeed cost more than a European vacation--and doesn't last nearly as long), to tons of medications prescribed by her doctors to hilarious, sometimes insane advice she's received from her blog readers. While nothing's been able to grant her relief, she has gained a new perspective. Instead of dwelling on the "invisible tiara of nails" she may very well wear for the rest of her life, she's instead learned how to live with the pain, sharing with readers not only how she's managed to get by, but to laugh--and thrive--in spite of it.
