The Dancing Healers
Author: Carl A. Hammerschlag
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062503952
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This fascinating account of a Yale-trained psychiatrist's twenty-year experience with Native American healing interweaves autobiography with stories of the Native Americans who challenged his medical school assumptions about their methods. While working as a family physicans in a Native American hospital in the Southwest, Carl Hammerschlag was introduced to a patient named Santiago, a Pueblo priest and clan chief, who asked him where he had learned how to heal. Hammerschlag responded almost by rote, rattling off his medical education, intership, and certification. The old man replied,"Do you know how to dance?" To humor Santiago, Hammerschlag shuffled his feet at the priest's bedside. Despite his condition, Santiago got up and demonstrated the proper steps. "You must be able to dance if you are to heal people,"he admonished the young doctor."I can teach you my steps, but you will have to hear your own music." Hammerschlag synthesizes his Jewish heritage with his experience with Native Americans to produce a practice open to all methods of healing. He discovers the wisdom of the Pueblo priest's question to his Western doctor, "Do you know how to dance?"

Dance with Death
Author: Jaroslaw Piekalkiewicz
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0761871675
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
More than seventy-five years have passed since the Holocaust and the terrors visited by German Nazis on occupied Europe. Yet this history continues to be the subject of research, debate, and controversy. One particularly delicate issue is the question of whether non-Jews did all they could to help Jews during the war. In this book, Jarosław Piekałkiewicz examines this issue in detail as it relates to Poland—the country that experienced the harshest German occupation and was slated for permanent incorporation into the German Reich. He examines all the different factors influencing the capacity and willingness of Poles to save Jews and documents the efforts made to save them despite these impediments. Unlike other books on the subject, Piekałkiewicz chooses to start with a chapter on the thousand-year-long history of Jews in Poland. This allows readers to understand why one-third of the world’s Jews lived in Poland before WWII and to learn about their rich and diverse culture. Equally clear are the dark clouds that gathered before the war in the form of fascism and antisemitism expanding in Poland and elsewhere in Europe. Piekałkiewicz is a political scientist who participated in the Polish Resistance as a teenager along with other members of his family. This combination of academic rigor and personal experience gives readers a more realistic understanding than usually available of resistance under German occupation and amid the Holocaust. He provides a detailed understanding of German occupation of Poland and the operations of the Polish Underground and goes on to describe efforts by Poles from many walks of life to save Jews. The text is interspersed with his vivid personal testimonies of surviving and fighting in occupied Poland. At the same time, the author does not shrink from revealing the dark side of the German occupation: fear, envy, greed, demoralization, and collaboration with the Germans to betray Jews, the Poles who hid them, resistance members, and even personal enemies. This book provides readers with the basic elements to understand Polish-Jewish relations during WWII as well as what is probably the last testimony that will ever be published of a former resistance fighter.

Book Description
Death never dances alone. Death is due a soul, and Ben Reed is on a mission to reap it. With his memories back… well, most of them, Ben must find a way to lead a wayward soul back into the cold embrace of death. When his friend Olivia comes knocking with a case involving a man on the run and with dangerous powers, Ben agrees to help find him, seeing an opportunity to find allies among the city’s supernatural underworld. Rose Klein’s life is on the right track. She’s about to be married and hopes for a career change. But something keeps her stranded in the past as her friend is no longer the man she’s known all her life. Coming to an uncomfortable truth about Ben’s recent actions, she must either attempt forcing something that is long dead or find the strength to move forward. Trying to balance the needs of the people in his life, Ben must face the limitations, and wonders, of being human. Freed from the neutrality of his previous existence, he soon comes to realize that in the search for the supernaturally gifted no one is who they seem, and allies may appear in the strangest places. Saving the living might not be as easy as this reaper thought. Dance of Death is the third novel in the Ashdale Reaper Series, a tale of betrayal and trust, accepting the truth, and a Reaper of Death breaking his own rules.
