The Ice Balloon
Author: Alec Wilkinson
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307741869
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
In 1897, at the height of the heroic age of Arctic exploration, the visionary Swedish explorer S. A. Andrée made a revolutionary attempt to discover the North Pole by flying over it in a hydrogen balloon. Thirty-three years later, his expedition diaries and papers would be discovered on the ice. Alec Wilkinson uses the explorer’s papers and contemporary sources to tell the full story of this ambitious voyage, while also showing how the late 19th century’s spirit of exploration and scientific discovery drove over 1,000 explorers to the unforgiving Arctic landscape. Suspenseful and haunting, Wilkinson captures Andrée’s remarkable adventure and illuminates the detail, beauty, and devastating conditions of traveling and dwelling on the ice.

The Fear of Doing Nothing
Author: Valery Hazanov
Publisher: Sphinx
ISBN: 1912573059
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
In the spirit of Mikhail Bulgakov's A Young Doctor's Notebook and Sandeep Jauhar's Intern, this is a deeply honest, searching examination of psychotherapy based on the experiences of a young sceptical trainee in New York City meeting his first patients. "Why is psychotherapy different from talking to a friend?" Hazanov asks. "Because generations of self-interested therapists told us so?" Through ten linked stories, we follow Hazanov as he navigates the maze of psychological theories he's been taught, facing the alarming dissonance between them and the tragic reality of his patients' lives. "How does psychotherapy work? And why do people not get any better?" Frustrated by fancy jargon and unrealistic depictions, Hazanov is on a quest to dispel the myths of psychotherapy and discover its essence. In The Fear of Doing Nothing he illuminates the intimacy, vulnerability and messiness of the therapeutic encounter, providing his answer to the question of what psychotherapy is.

Love is not blind

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
Anuroop Sebastian explores the theme of "e;true"e; vs. counterfeit, or "e;fake,"e; love and explains how the reader can identify the real thing by following the example of Jesus. In John 2:24, Jesus rejects the praises of a certain group of people. Their praises appear to be genuine but Jesus knows that they are simply flattering Him. Yet when Mary pours expensive perfume on His feet, he accepts her love (John 12:1-8). Jesus had the ability to discern the true nature of others by listening to their hearts instead of listening to their words or following their actions! The author will show how the Bible gives readers the wisdom to recognize their true friends and safeguard themselves from toxic relationships.
