Book Description
Declared unfit to fly, Andreas Lubitz' doctor did not notify authorities. The co-pilot tore up the sick note and reported for work. Then he locked the pilot out of the cabin, and drove the plane at 700mph into the alps, killing himself and 149 others aboard instantly. What evil possessed him to do such an horrific thing? Men, women and little children forced to accompany him on his suicide mission?! For five whole torturous minutes the passengers aboard Flight 9525 screamed in terror as the plane went down. Why did he do it? Those were the questions on everyone's lips when Andreas Lubitz drove the Germanwings A320 Airbus he was co-piloting into the France Alps. The plane hit with such force that bodies, shattered into pieces and scattered over the craggy terrain, made recovery enormously hazardous. DNA was used to piece together bodies for relatives to claim. This forensic numerological criminal profile of Andreas Gunter Lubitz gives an insight into the man who committed this Kamikaze carnage.

Mind Shift
Author: John Parrington
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192521640
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
John Parrington argues that social interaction and culture have deeply shaped the exceptional nature of human consciousness. The mental capacities of the human mind far outstrip those of other animals. Our imaginations and creativity have produced art, music, and literature; built bridges and cathedrals; enabled us to probe distant galaxies, and to ponder the meaning of our existence. When our minds become disordered, they can also take us to the depths of despair. What makes the human brain unique, and able to generate such a rich mental life? In this book, John Parrington draws on the latest research on the human brain to show how it differs strikingly from those of other animals in its structure and function at a molecular and cellular level. And he argues that this 'shift', enlarging the brain, giving it greater flexibility and enabling higher functions such as imagination, was driven by tool use, but especially by the development of one remarkable tool - language. The complex social interaction brought by language opened up the possibility of shared conceptual worlds, enriched with rhythmic sounds, and images that could be drawn on cave walls. This transformation enabled modern humans to leap rapidly beyond all other species, and generated an exceptional human consciousness, a sense of self that arises as a product of our brain biology and the social interactions we experience. Our minds, even those of identical twins, are unique because they are the result of this extraordinarily plastic brain, exquisitely shaped and tuned by the social and cultural environment in which we grew up and to which we continue to respond through life. Linking early work by the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky to the findings of modern neuroscience, Parrington explores how language, culture, and society mediate brain function, and what this view of the human mind may bring to our understanding and treatment of mental illness.

Violent States and Creative States (Volume 1)
Author: John Adlam
Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
ISBN: 1784509671
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This is a provocative collection exploring the different types of violence and how they relate to one another, examined through the integration of several disciplines, including forensic psychotherapy, psychiatry, sociology, psychosocial studies and political science. By examining the 'violent states' of mind behind specific forms of violence and the social and societal contexts in which an individual act of human violence takes place, the contributors reveal the dynamic forces and reasoning behind specific forms of violence including structural violence, and conceptualise the societal structures themselves as 'violent states'. Other research often stops short at examining the causes and risk factors for violence, without considering the opposite states that may not only mitigate, but allow for a different unfolding of individual and societal evolution. As a potential antidote to violence, the authors prescribe an understanding of these 'creative states' with their psychological origins, and their importance in human behaviour and meaning-seeking. Making a call to move beyond merely mitigating violence to the opposite direction of fostering creative potential, this book is foundational in its capacity to cultivate social consciousness and effect positive change in areas of governance, policy-making, and collective responsibility. Volume 1: Structural Violence and Creative Structures covers structural and symbolic violence, with violent states and State violence, and with creative responses and creative states at the local and global levels.

Germanwings Flight 9525: The Tragic Flight

ISBN:

Pages : 13
Book Description
150 people died when Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed into the French Alps on the 24th of March 2015. The Airbus A320-200 was headed to Dusseldorf Airport in Germany from Barcelona El-Prat Airport when it crashed in the French Alps near Nice. This is the second international incident involving low-cost airlines in just under three months following the disappearance of AirAsia Flight 8501 on the 28th of December 2014. The crash came as a surprise as the skies were clear, weather was good and the aircraft was in great condition, having been regularly serviced and maintained. Respondents initially thought that this was the result of a terrorist attack but it turned out to be caused by a man with mental health problems.
