A chain and a collar can restrain a man, but the innocence of an angel breaks the devil. Once upon a time, there was a nobleman and Nyx was his name. He was respectful, principled, and handsome. The young man owned several ships and managed his late-father's fishing business. He spent the past few years doing nothing but taking care of his mother and older sister, and struggling to deal with the selfishness of his stepfather. One day, the fates threw him into a dangerous predicament and he found himself being saved by the devil. Agenor, Captain of the Martina pirate crew. Strong and ruthless, Agenor was known across the sea as 'the Devil'. At their first encounter, Agenor couldn't help but be enchanted by the innocent angel. Drawn to him, he entrapped him and abused him. He didn't listen to Nyx's pleas and repeatedly denied him escape. This story depicts Nyx's adventure as he struggled to live among pirates, avoided their bullying and harassment, and d...

A natural subject for the UK's bestselling true-crime author: a study of people who randomly kill large numbers of others (spree killers), or who set out to do so in specific places or situations (mass killers). Because of the ease of obtaining firearms in the USA, many of these, inevitably, are American, but there have been other recent examples in New Zealand and Norway, while three major mass shootings took place in the UK at Hungerford in 1987 (17 dead, including the killer), Dunblane in 1996 (18, including the killer), and in Cumbria in 2010 (13, including the killer). As such killings become more frequent, it is easy to blame them on the ready availability of firearms and weak or non-existent background checks, even though many countries, including the UK, have extremely robust firearms legislation. What is more difficult to establish, however, is the motivation behind such killings: some are occasioned by grievance, real or imagined, while others have their origins in a sen...

As the recession worsens, more and more Americans must turn to welfare to make ends meet. Once inside the agency, the newly jobless will face a bureaucracy that has undergone massive change since the advent of welfare reform in 1996. A behind-the-scenes look at bureaucracy's human face, "The New Welfare Bureaucrats" is a compelling study of welfare officers and how they navigate the increasingly tangled political and emotional terrain of their jobs. Celeste Watkins-Hayes here reveals how welfare reform engendered a shift in focus for caseworkers from simply providing monetary aid to the much more complex process of helping recipients find work. Now that welfare officers are both more intimately involved in their clients' lives and wield greater power over their well-being, their racial, class, and professional identities have become increasingly important factors in their work. Based on the author's extensive fieldwork in two very different communities in the nort...

In this essay, Byung-Chul Han criticizes how the excess positivity of happiness forces us to negate any glimpse of pain and subjects us to a state of permanent anesthesia. Today we live in a society that has developed a phobia of pain, in which there is no longer room for suffering. This widespread fear is reflected both personally and socially, and even in politics. The neoliberal imperative "be happy", which hides a demand for performance, tries to avoid any painful state and pushes us into a state of permanent anesthesia. As he reflects in The Society of Tiredness, Byung-Chul Han is part of the assumption that there has been a radical paradigm shift in the West. Premodern societies had a very intimate relationship with pain and death, which they faced with dignity and resignation. Today, however, the positivity of happiness surpasses the negativity of pain, and extends to the social sphere. By expelling from public life conflicts and controversies, which could lead to pain...

Gender and mental health is a growing field in psychiatry and in the last three to four decades, many different aspects of women's mental health have bloomed. Researchers have gained a better understanding of the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of mental health problems in women, and it is possible to describe, classify, and circumscribe different diagnoses as they appear in the female gender. Epidemiological data has also shown an increased frequency in different clinical aspects of many psychiatric disorders. In addition, research into areas including eating disorders, perinatal, psychiatric disorders, and the long term effects of abuse have helped us to appreciate the societal, parental, and personal consequences of mental health problems. The Oxford Textbook of Women and Mental Health is dedicated to fundamental aspects in women's mental health. Part one of the text covers topics from women's health as a global issue to different medical psychological the...

Mit dem Porträt der 13-jährigen Marie wächst allmählich das Selbstvertrauen des jungen Malers in seinen eigenen Stil. Die wiedergewonnene Sicherheit hilft ihm, das Ende seiner Ehe zu verarbeiten. Während der Sitzungen freunden sich das Mädchen und der Maler an. Er ist beeindruckt und erschrocken zugleich von Maries Klugheit und Scharfsinn.
