Flight from Reason by Karen S. Yeiser Pdf

The insidious symptoms of schizophrenia quietly transformed Karen's devoted and intelligent daughter Bethany into a despondent, dirty, homeless stranger, living on the streets of a West Coast city. After dropping out of college and refusing all contact with family and friends, her daughter pursued an obsession to travel alone to three continents in an effort to help alleviate worldwide human suffering and poverty. Throughout an agonizing five year period of estrangement, not realizing her daughter's personality changes were the direct result of emerging schizophrenia, there were times when Karen did not know if her daughter was dead or alive. One day Karen and her husband were notified by police that Bethany was being held on a 72-hour psychiatric hold in a hospital emergency room two thousand miles away. Little did they know that the reunion with their daughter would plunge all three of them into an even broader dimension of suffering generated by Bethany's severe illness and her awakened desire to reclaim her life. Despite overwhelming odds, Bethany made a complete recovery from schizophrenia. Seen through Karen's eyes, and with raw honesty, she brings the reader directly into her own world of confusion and heartbreak. She offers an intimate perspective on the agony families endure while watching mental illness assault the mind of a loved one, and navigating the frustrating obstacle course of the mental health system. "Karen's book is an inspiring message for all families, parents and their adult children. It is an amazing story of determination and persistence, fueled by parental love for a daughter who vanished from their lives. Mental health professionals such as counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, psychiatrists and all their trainees would find the emotional roller coaster of Karen's experiences as a vivid example of what parents of their patients go through," writes Henry A. Nasrallah, M.D., Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurology and Psychiatry, Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Flight from Reason is the companion book to Mind Estranged: My Journey from Schizophrenia and Homelessness to Recovery, by Bethany Yeiser. Mind Estranged parallels the timeline of Flight from Reason.

The Flight from Science and Reason by Paul R. Gross,Norman Levitt,Martin W. Lewis Pdf

"Evidence of a flight from reason is as old as human record-keeping: the fact of it certainly goes back an even longer way. Flight from science specifically, among the forms of rational inquiry, goes back as far as science itself... But rejection of reason is now a pattern to be found in most branches of scholarship and in all the learned professions."--from the introduction In the widely acclaimed Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science, Paul R. Gross and Norman Levitt offered a spirited response to the "science bashers," raising serious questions about the growing criticism of scientific practice from humanists and social scientists on the academic left. Now, in The Flight from Science and Reason, Gross and Levitt are joined by Martin W. Lewis to bring together a diverse and distinguished group of scholars, scientists, and experts to engage these questions from a wide variety of perspectives. The authors take on critics of science whose views range from moderate to extreme, from social constructivists to deconstructionists, from creationists and feminists to Afro-centrists. They discuss the rise of "alternative medicine" and radical environmentalism (here skewered as "ecosentimentalism"). They explain why the "uncertainty principle" does not work as a metaphor for ambiguity, and why "chaos theory" cannot be invoked without an understanding of mathematics. Throughout, they grapple with the paradox inherent in arguing with opponents who contend that reason itself, and thus logic, is suspect. Distributed for the New York Academy of Sciences

Glider Flight Instructor Manual by Francesco Daniele Padovano Pdf

For decades and in the interests of greater flight safety, Competence criteria have been introduced in professional training. The results obtained in professional aviation are indisputable and the proposed new paradigm aims to increase the pilot's ability to resolve, in particular, unfamiliar situations. There is no doubt that during soaring, the conditions faced are, as a general rule, highly variable, which requires the pilot to be highly adaptable. However, even though this flying technique is the one that requires the most resilience, there is no single criterion in the development of training that would lead the future pilot to develop the necessary skills, nor is there a single evaluation criterion that would determine a common standard. From my experience in professional teaching in organisations such as CAE, the experience as an EASA inspector and my own experience as a gliding instructor I wanted to propose a new way of teaching and, above all, of assessing a future glider pilot with COMPETENCE criteria in which the elements of CRM and TEM are always present together with the application of KSA. In this text I hope that gliding instructors will find a tool for teaching their classes and a greater standardisation as a guide to develop their own Competence Based Training and assessment adapted at the local conditions and gliders. The future is not white or black but an infinite scale of greys where different solution could be proposed successfully. By this the list of mission proposed is my personal view adapted to my programs but it not pretends to be an absolute criterion. Hope you will enjoy Happy landings! Francesco Padovano

Underneath a Flight Attendant by Soraia Nakib Pdf

Underneath a Flight Attendant talks about the authors adventures during her long flying career as a cabin crew and her musings as a spiritual guru and peace seeker. All the stories in the book are true facts experienced by the author and some told through her by her close friends. It talks about all subjects: love, politics, religion and science. A book to entertain, but also to teach- Weve all got something to teach others, but also learn until our last breath. The title Flight Attendant was chosen by the author since its still so popular in USA, but she explains that Cabin Crew is the latest title used in Europe and the Middle East. This book is also a good reminder for passengers all over the world, especially those who travel 4 or 5-star airlines; on how to be a conscious economy passenger and behave well. The author reveals to the world her psychic abilities. She describes ways for you to understand that anyone can start practicing their good luck habits and add waves of good energy into their quotidian. Hence, attracting positive bids in your professional or personal life. I tried to summarize my so far lived vicarious life in one book. Since this book talks about various subjects and the chapters are not sequences, theres no need to start it from the beginning. Just try a chapter that inspires you first at the contents page.
