Описание: A groundbreaking exploration of how cyberspace is changing the way we think, feel, and behave "A must-read for this moment in time."--Steven D. Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics - One of the best books of the year--Nature Mary Aiken, the world's leading expert in forensic cyberpsychology, offers a starting point for all future conversations about how the Internet is shaping development and behavior, societal norms and values, children, safety, privacy, and our perception of the world. Drawing on her own research and extensive experience with law enforcement, Aiken covers a wide range of subjects, from the impact of screens on the developing child to the explosion of teen sexting and the acceleration of compulsive and addictive behaviors online. Aiken provides surprising statistics and incredible-but-true case studies of hidden trends that are shaping our culture and raising troubling questions about where the digital revolution is taking us. Praise for The Cyber Effect "How to guide kids in a hyperconnected world is one of the biggest challenges for today's parents. Mary Aiken clearly and calmly separates reality from myth. She clearly lays out the issues we really need to be concerned about and calmly instructs us on how to keep our kids safe and healthy in their digital lives."--Peggy Orenstein, author of the New York Times bestseller Girls & Sex " A] fresh voice and a uniquely compelling perspective that draws from the murky, fascinating depths of her criminal case file and her insight as a cyber-psychologist . . . This is Aiken's cyber cri de coeur as a forensic scientist, and she wants everyone on the case."--The Washington Post "Fascinating . . . If you have children, stop what you are doing and pick up a copy of The Cyber Effect."--The Times (UK) "An incisive tour of sociotechnology and its discontents."--Nature "Just as Rachel Carson launched the modern environmental movement with her Silent Spring, Mary Aiken delivers a deeply disturbing, utterly penetrating, and urgently timed investigation into the perils of the largest unregulated social experiment of our time."--Bob Woodward "Mary Aiken takes us on a fascinating, thought-provoking, and at times scary journey down the rabbit hole to witness how the Internet is changing the human psyche. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the temptations and tragedies of cyberspace."--John R. Suler, PhD, author of The Psychology of Cyberspace "Drawing on a fascinating and mind-boggling range of research and knowledge, Mary Aiken has written a great, important book that terrifies then consoles by pointing a way forward so that our experience online might not outstrip our common sense."--Steven D. Levitt "Having worked with law enforcement groups from INTERPOL and Europol as well as the U.S. government, Aiken knows firsthand how today's digital tools can be exploited by criminals lurking in the Internet's Dark Net."--Newsweek

Автор: Aiken, Cara Название: Family experiences of bipolar disorder ISBN: 1843109352 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781843109358 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 23470.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Bipolar disorder(BP) can be a devastating illness, seriously affecting not only the person with bipolar but also family and friends. While most people are familiar with the terms `manic depressive` and `BP`, there remains a lack of real understanding about the illness and many sufferers and their families can feel helpless, alone and misunderstood.
This work is divided into two formats; essays, and biblical expositions, and set in three major sections. The first section is composed of essays based on faith-related topics; some that stem from biblical texts; others that were born out of life experiences that were guided in faith. The second section is devoted to expositions from various passages, and is arranged in chronological order as they appear in the biblical canon. The third section comprises both essays and expositions; all based on Christian and national holidays, and special celebrations set in keeping with the calendar year.
The inspiration for these writings; though largely biblical at their core, were inspired by real-life thoughts and events that happened on the farm, the streets of the inner-city, in courthouses, and counseling sessions where the author perceived God at work in the lives of people who were searching for a faith that works for them.
The author has attempted to present the book to as diverse an audience as possible; from those with little or no Christian experience or biblical background, to others who are serious students of the Bible and Christian Theology. "Journeys in the Christian Experience...... a biblical approach to life and faith" serves as a tool that will aid the reader in responding to God's message, and undergird existing faith with a perception of life that binds the two together.

Описание: In this eerie and unnerving collection, you will find some eerily chilling tales of the supernatural. Distinguished authors Joan Aiken, Robert Westall, Susan Price and Michael Morpurgo are just a few of the highly acclaimed writers who have contributed stories to this spooky collection. We meet a baby ghost in Ursula Moray Williams' 'A Ghost of One's Own', a cheeky modern boy ghost in Marjorie Darke's 'Hi, It's Me', a Victorian girl ghost with disturbing powers in Jane Gardam's 'Bang, Bang - Who's Dead?' and even a cat ghost in Gene Kemp's 'The Passing of Puddy'. Each one makes the unexplainable and unbelievable so real it will send tingles down your spine and scare you witless!
