For Love of the Imagination by Michael Vannoy Adams Pdf

"I have entitled this book For Love of the Imagination. Long ago, I fell in love with the imagination. It was love at first sight. I have had a lifelong love affair with the imagination. I would love for others, through this book, to fall in love, as I once did, with the imagination." Michael Vannoy Adams, from the Preface. For Love of the Imagination is a book about the imagination – about what and how images mean. Jungian psychoanalysis is an imaginal psychology – or what Michael Vannoy Adams calls "imaginology," the study of the imagination. What is so distinctive – and so valuable – about Jungian psychoanalysis is that it emphasizes images. For Love of the Imagination is also a book about interdisciplinary applications of Jungian psychoanalysis. What enables these applications is that all disciplines include images of which they are more or less unconscious. Jungian psychoanalysis is in an enviable position to render these images conscious, to specify what and how they mean. On the contemporary scene, as a result of the digital revolution, there is no trendier word than "applications" – except, perhaps, the abbreviation "apps." In psychoanalysis, there is a "Freudian app" and a "Jungian app." The "Jungian app" is a technology of the imagination. This book applies Jungian psychoanalysis to images in a variety of disciplines. For Love of the Imagination also includes the 2011 Moscow lectures on Jungian psychoanalysis. It will be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, students, and those with an interest in Jung.

The Pilot's Guide To Low Time Flying Jobs: Bridging The Gap Between 250 And 1,500 Hours by Michael Carlini Pdf

Find a job. Get hired. Get paid. No CFI? No problem! Becoming a competitive candidate for low time flying jobs and successfully navigating the next 1,000 hours of your career requires knowledge and a set of soft and hard skills that commercial pilot training programs omit from their "teach-to-the-test" curriculum. The Pilot's Guide To Low Time Flying Jobs fills these holes and aids low time commercial pilots in all aspects of bridging the tedious gap between their commercial checkride and the 1,500 hour ATP milestone. This guide will teach you: • How to overcome the obstacles to employment you face as a low time pilot • What jobs are available, their minimum experience requirements, typical schedule, compensation, applicable regulations and flight techniques • Where to search for jobs, as well as a list of nearly 70, non-CFI, low time pilot employers across the US to whom you can apply • Networking techniques, with real examples of successful strategies that you can replicate • How to create the most effective pilot-specific resume and cover letter, with samples of each • The most critical information to study when preparing to begin a new job or fly a new aircraft, as well as the most effective methods of self-studying • Professional pilot techniques, tips, and knowledge, including flight planning considerations, performance and weather so that you can take your airmanship to the next level • How to deal with the seldom-discussed but most significant challenges faced by professional pilots, including external pressure imposed by employers and crew members, imposter syndrome, and mental health Corporate jet pilot and flight instructor Michael Carlini has condensed 10 years and 2,000 flight hours of experience into a few hundred pages that can be consumed in a matter of hours, giving you a detailed, actionable, and proven guide to getting hired as a low time commercial pilot.

Animal Killer by Vamik D. Volkan Pdf

A psychoanalytic process from its beginning to its termination is described to illustrate crucial technical issues in the treatment of individuals with narcissistic personality organization and the countertransference manifestations such patients stimulate in the analyst. The subject of this book exhibited cruelty to confirm and stabilize his grandiosity. His internal world was a "reservoir" of the deposited image of his father figure, an individual most severely traumatized during World War II. The patient was given the task to be a mass-"killer" of animals instead of being a hunted one.This book most clearly illustrates how the transgenerational transmission of trauma takes place and how the impact of war continues in future generations. The book also provides an understanding of a special kind of psychological motivation that directs a person to use weapons for mass killing. In this era of pluralism in psychoanalysis, providing the story of a psychoanalytic case in its duration opens ways for comparison and discussion of technique and can be used as a teaching tool.

Flying at the Edge by Tony Doyle Pdf

This is the autobiography of an outstanding fighter pilot during his twenty year career with the Royal Air Force. Tony Doyle first flew when in the CCF where he complted a glider course and then a highly-prized Flying Scholarship. This opened the way to joining the RAF and becoming an all-weather tactical fighter pilot flying de Havilland Vampires and Gloster Meteors. At this he excelled and was posted as a flying instructor and then Staff Instructor. This was the age when the Jet Provost was the standard training aircraft. During 1962 he was selected to fly with the newly formed Red Pelicans aerobatic display team and honed his skills as a display pilot. Tony moved to RAF Valley as the new Folland Gnat was being introduced in the training role. This diminutive aircraft was somewhat of a breakthrough and after ironing out several design problems it proved a superb aircraft, being fast and agile. The general public were eager to see this new RAF addition and Tony became its display pilot, flying at open days throughout the UK and Europe. In 1964 Tony converted to the English Electric Lightning, Britain’s one and only supersonic fighter, with a top speed in excess of Mach 2 and a ceiling of 50,000 feet. He was posted to Treble One Squadron at Wattisham in October 1964 as part of the Quick Reaction Alert force against potential Russian bomber attacks. Once again he became the Lightning’s chosen low-level display pilot and demonstrated it at the 1965 Paris Air Show. Shortly after this he was forced to eject over the North Cornish coast after an engine explosion cause the loss of elevator control. This fascinating account of front-line and display flying goes into considerable detail of the aerodynamic qualities of the types flown, their dangers and advantages. There are many life-threatening incidents and successes that will educate anyone who is interested in flying at the very edge.
