Book Description
Have you ever wondered what drives our drinking? What actually fuels our desire to numb ourselves? Ooh, let’s see… Do you lie awake at night worried about what others think of you? Find yourself cringing whenever anyone asks for a favour because you don’t know how to say no? Experience a virtual panic attack whenever someone tells you they “need to talk”? You’re not alone. Welcome to one of the biggest and sneakiest drinking triggers: the disease to please. Former people-pleaser, and author of the bestselling sobriety memoir, A Happier Hour, Rebecca Weller shared your angst. Her pesky little need to be liked meant she was petrified of being a burden, of doing anything that might hurt somebody’s feelings, and of the slightest confrontation. Now she’s here to help you take your power back. In this book, Rebecca explores the many clumsy, humiliating – and ultimately liberating – lessons we might experience along the way, and how each of us can begin to build a deep and unshakeable confidence. Chameleon: Confessions of a Former People-Pleaser is a book about the danger of giving our power away to others, and the magic of finding our way back to ourselves.

Dance Of The Chameleon

Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
ᅠDance of the Chameleon, A Vietnam Medic s Story is an eyewitness account of both heroic and shameful events occurring during the Vietnam War. Decorated medic, James Squadrito, served in three venues in Vietnam where the experiences he recounts in the book were far too common. Rampant drug use among soldiers, sex-trafficking of Vietnamese women as young as twelve and thirteen years old both on and off base, ill-trained officers, and woefully prepared medics including himself were common realities during the war. Jim tells of incidences of soldiers he had to patch up who had shot themselves to get sent home, of dead soldiers who were shot by friendly fire in retaliation for their attempts at troop discipline, and racial infighting that mirrored the conflicts of the civil rights movement stateside. Arms trafficking and drug and artifact smuggling were standard crimes perpetrated by soldiers and officers. Fortunately, these and other inglorious moments were counterbalanced by self-sacrifice and heroism. Jim, who, chameleonlike, changed his colors from the spoiled frat boy to a productive citizen, recounts his personal journey of growth from cynicism to spirituality. After leaving the service and left scarred by his experiences, he would talk with other Vietnam soldiers at vets gatherings. These sessions were cathartic for him and provided a motivation to write this book, which he hopes will be a source of healing for his comrades who still haven t recovered from the ravages of the Vietnam conflict. There are over one hundred thousand medics in the United States who walked the tightrope of saving lives and being pulled into actual combat when enemy troops ignored the Geneva Convention protocols. This book is a tribute to them who put the lives of soldiers first above their own. ᅠ

The Singapore Mall Generation
Author: Dr Liew Kai Khiun
Publisher: Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd
ISBN: 9815044583
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Yesterday’s malls as today’s heritage. This book unearths Singapore’s latent histories, cultures and communities that grew within its now ageing modern shopping centres, envisioned in the 1960s futuristically as “Arcades in the Air”. Contributors for this edited book highlight some of such unexpected narratives from the pioneering “Planned Shopping Centres”. They include: malls as historical and photographical sites, as homes for pioneering arcade gamers, youths cultures and veteran rock musicians, and as platforms for artistic imaginations and exhibitions. As largely individually owned shops units within the buildings, the older malls have also fostered more diverse and autonomous communities and businesses. Amidst Singapore’s constantly changing urban landscape, these otherwise dated shopping centres stand precariously as venerable sites of collective social and cultural memories. Includes essays from: Chua Beng Huat, Yu-Mei Balasingamchow, Darren Soh, Roy Kheang, Eunice Lim, Elena Yeo, Steve Ferzacca, Kar-men Cheng, Wee Li Lin

The Tarot of Leonora Carrington
Author:
Publisher: Rm
ISBN: 9788417975999
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
A significantly expanded edition of Carrington's acclaimed Tarot series, featuring new archival images and research The British-born Mexican surrealist Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) spent a lifetime exploring the esoteric traditions of diverse cultures, and incorporated their ideas and symbols into her artistic and literary oeuvre. Tibetan Buddhism, the Kabbalah, ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian magic, Celtic mythology, witchcraft, astrology and the Tarot were filtered through her feminist lens to create a visionary, woman-centered worldview. Carrington created a spectacular Major Arcana Tarot deck sometime during the 1950s, laying gold and silver leaf over brilliant color. Exhibited for the first time during her centennial exhibition Leonora Carrington: Magical Talesin 2018, this extraordinary work was a revelation for the public and inspired the publication of The Tarot of Leonora Carrington. This second, considerably expanded edition--encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive reception of Fulgur's publication in 2020--explores further the central position that the Tarot held in Carrington's work. The volume includes an introductory text by her son Gabriel Weisz Carrington, who recalls his mother's long involvement with the Tarot, followed by a revised and more extensive essay by scholar Susan Aberth and curator Tere Arcq, including detailed analysis of each card: their color symbolism, their relationship to other works and their iconographic origins in ancient esoteric beliefs, including the Mesoamerican influences of her adopted country. This new edition also reproduces previously unpublished photographs and images, as well as exciting new research into Carrington's influences, emphasizing the authors' claim that her work on the Major Arcanarepresents an esoteric roadmap to Carrington's feminist vision and wish for a new global gender equality toward a better ecological future for our planet.

This book teaches from the basis of the calculations involved in finding the Udhaya, the Aaruda and the Kavippu and also the procedure to fix the Jama planets. The Kaarakathuvas of the planets, the bhavas and the signs are important to arrive at exact results. So they are dealt exhaustively and exclusively.
