When Red Guards arrived in Tibet in 1966, intent on creating a classless society, they unleashed a decade of revolutionary violence, political rallies, and factional warfare marked by the ransacking of temples, the destruction of religious artifacts, the burning of books, and the public humiliation of Tibet’s remaining lamas and scholars. Within Tibet, discussion of those events has long been banned, and no visual records of this history were known to have survived. In Forbidden Memory the leading Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser presents three hundred previously unseen photographs taken by her father, then an officer in the People’s Liberation Army, that show for the first time the frenzy and violence of the Cultural Revolution in Tibet. Found only after his death, Woeser’s annotations and reflections on the photographs, edited and introduced by the Tibet historian Robert Barnett, are based on scores of interviews she conducted privately in Tibet with survivors. Her book explores the motives and thinking of those who participated in the extraordinary rituals of public degradation and destruction that took place, carried out by Tibetans as much as Chinese on the former leaders of their culture. Heartbreaking and revelatory, Forbidden Memory offers a personal, literary discussion of the nature of memory, violence, and responsibility, while giving insight into the condition of a people whose violently truncated history they are still unable to discuss today.

Joint Source Channel Coding Using Arithmetic Codes by Dongsheng Bi,Michael Ward Hoffman,Khalid Sayood Pdf
Proposes a new way of looking at arithmetic codes with forbidden symbols. If a limit is imposed on the maximum value of a key parameter in the encoder, this modified arithmetic encoder can also be modelled as a finite state machine and the code generated can be treated as a variable-length trellis code. The number of states used can be reduced and techniques used for decoding convolutional codes can be applied directly on the trellis.
Challenges for Language Education and Policy by Bernard Spolsky,Ofra Inbar-Lourie,Michal Tannenbaum Pdf
Addressing a wide range of issues in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and multilingualism, this volume focuses on language users, the ‘people.’ Making creative connections between existing scholarship in language policy and contemporary theory and research in other social sciences, authors from around the world offer new critical perspectives for analyzing language phenomena and language theories, suggesting new meeting points among language users and language policy makers, norms, and traditions in diverse cultural, geographical, and historical contexts. Identifying and expanding on previously neglected aspects of language studies, the book is inspired by the work of Elana Shohamy, whose critical view and innovative work on a broad spectrum of key topics in applied linguistics has influenced many scholars in the field to think “out of the box” and to reconsider some basic commonly held understandings, specifically with regard to the impact of language and languaging on individual language users rather than on the masses.

The Science of False Memory by C. J. Brainerd,V. F. Reyna Pdf
Findings from research on false memory have major implications for a number of fields central to human welfare, such as medicine and law. Although many important conclusions have been reached after a decade or so of intensive research, the majority of them are not well known outside the immediate field. To make this research accessible to a much wider audience, The Science of False Memory has been written to require little or no background knowledge of the theory and techniques used in memory research. Brainerd and Reyna introduce the volume by considering the progenitors to the modern science of false memory, and noting the remarkable degree to which core themes of contemporary research were anticipated by historical figure such as Binet, Piaget, and Bartlett. They continue with an account of the varied methods that have been used to study false memory both inside and outside of the laboratory. The first part of the volume focuses on the basic science of false memory, revolving around three topics: old and new theoretical ideas that have been used to explain false memory and make predictions about it; research findings and predictions about false memory in normal adults; and research findings and predictions about age-related changes in false memory between early childhood and adulthood. Throughout Part I, Brainerd and Reyna emphasize how current opponent-processes conceptions of false memory act as a unifying influence by integrating predictions and data across disparate forms of false memory. The second part focuses on the applied science of false memory, revolving around four topics: the falsifiability of witnesses and suspects memories of crimes, including false confessions by suspects; the falsifiability of eyewitness identifications of suspects; false-memory reports in investigative interviews of child victims and witnesses, particularly in connection with sexual-abuse crimes; false memory in psychotherapy, including recovered memories of childhood abuse, multiple-personality disorders, and recovered memories of previous lives. Although Part II is concerned with applied research, Brainerd and Reyna continue to emphasize the unifying influence of opponent-processes conceptions of false memory. The third part focuses on emerging trends, revolving around three expanding areas of false-memory research: mathematical models, aging effects, and cognitive neuroscience. False Memory will be an invaluable resource for professional researchers, practitioners, and students in the many fields for which false-memory research has implications, including child-protective services, clinical psychology, law, criminal justice, elementary and secondary education, general medicine, journalism, and psychiatry.
Beginning in a Jacksonville, Florida setting, Sandra Riggin takes readers through a painful journey of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that is far from anything sunny. These destructive seeds planted at an early age in the young Sandy reaped a harvest of addictions and eating disorders that ravaged her life. It was in her seemingly final hours on June 16, 1997, where Sandy lay on an emergency room gurney, virtually lifeless from a potentially lethal overdose of 180 muscle relaxants that she found the courage to live. In and out of consciousness, she decided it was time to put the demons of her past to sleep. On the brink of death she held on for dear life, reclaiming all that had been ripped from her over the years. The oldest of three siblings, Sandy struggled to protect her family from an abusive father, but she could never seem to shield herself from the manipulation of a distant and emotionally crippled mother who loved to play the victim behind closed doors, while outwardly faking the role of the loving parent. Yet it was her mother¡¦s love and affection she craved most, and dreamed of the day when she would be worthy of receiving it. It became her ultimate goal.Running and hiding became the norm for Sandy and her brothers. She recalls one night in particular when they ran, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Then their mother found an escape in having an affair with one of her professors. Gene appeared to be the man that would offer Sandy and her family a chance at stability, peace and happiness. But once her mother said, ¡§I do!¡ ̈ the kind, soft-spoken Gene unleashed a monster none of them could have imagined. His once fatherly expressions turned incestuous towards Sandy, and she would suffer by his hands for many, many years. As usual though, Sandy¡¦s mother closed her eyes and looked the other way, refusing to allow the obvious to jeopardize life with her new husband. Because of this Sandy ventured away from home, trying to find someone who would love her without hurting her. However this only led to her being molested, almost to the point of death, by several other people, including a neighbor and school teacher. As the years went by Sandy and her family would move from place to place never affording her the opportunity to plant any solid roots. She never felt like she belonged anywhere. Alienated from even herself, Sandy comes to the realization, ¡§I lost me a long time ago!¡ ̈ So, she went in search of herself, in all of the wrong places. Drugs and alcohol became the anesthesia she would use to numb the pain in hopes that her living nightmare would be eradicated. Not wanting to reveal the sordid family secrets, Sandy silenced her voice, but her desperation cried out in her addictions and suicide attempts. One botched suicide attempt after another landed her in a number of treatment centers. The healthcare professionals she came before continued to treat the surface problems, not recognizing her deep-seated cries for help. Sandy spiraled down a black hole of self-destruction that threatened to consume her. Her family and the system failed her, labeling Sandy as a troublemaker on the fast track to nowhere. Her efforts to lead a normal life were always overshadowed by her constant need for her mother¡¦s approval, and a need for life¡¦s basic necessity, love. Sandy had practically given up on love ever visiting her doorway, when suddenly her prince charming appears on a shiny motorcycle. Randy was the answer! With her arms wrapped tightly around his waist, they rode off into the sunset. She believed it was possible that he could whisk her away from all of her troubles and she hoped like hell it would be true. However her past was too unforgiving, and thus their marriage never stood a chance. Her sexual inhibitions derived from those dark, ugly secrets wouldn¡¦t let her go. Intimacy was non-existent, the weight was too much to communicate and the strain of everything caved in on their rocky union. Randy, unable to support Sandy in her condition lacked the emotional and spiritual strength she needed in a spouse, and Sandy could not be to Randy what she wasn¡¦t to herselfoa whole person. The confusion and failure of yet another failed relationship filled Sandy with fear and sent her in a direction she had never anticipated. As Sandy continued to go through the torrential ups and downs she still managed to maintain her education. She obtained a bachelors degree in psychology and a masters degree in counseling. Despite all of her accomplishments professionally the tortured Sandy could not free herself of the demons that were fast on her heals. Her recovery from one addiction only led her to other destructive patterns that made her believe the only way out of her living hell was to bring her turbulent life to an abrupt halt. Sandy became obsessed with creative ways to take her own life, but no matter how many times she tried she would wake up to find herself still alive. She begged God time and time again to let her go, but that was not to be her destiny. However, all she suffered was not to be in vain, as it was in the face of death that she found her reason to live.Convinced that she wouldn¡¦t survive another suicide attempt, Sandy spent the next three and a half years with a therapist embarking upon the beginning of her journey towards healing. This painful quest for healing and resolution gave birth to a tremendous story that must be told! As a result, Sandy spent five years writing, Forbidden Memories: A Journey of Healing, a chilling account of her torturous childhood and how she let it nearly destroy her as an adult. But most importantly it is the story of her recovery. She has outlined the insights she gained along the way that became her stepping-stones to freedom and happiness. Now she shares her story with the hope that other survivors of childhood abuse will not have to suffer in silence for as long as she did. Ultimately, finding the power in her choices, Sandy exposes the secrets that are intended to break the cycle of abuse and reveal the true strength of a spirit unwilling to be broken!Forbidden Memories: A Journey of Healing depicts her determination and resilience. This page turner will keep readers on their toes as they witness the transformation of a life and the grace of God at work.
We live in a world where our livelihood depends on our ability to relate to strangers. The central quality that defines strangers is that they are unknown. Because strangers are unknown, they represent, in the world outside, the unknown self within. The unknown self is the core of the personality considered as a potential to become something yet to be determined. To be already known is to be determined prior to and independently of our presence in our lives. At the outset of the process of taking form, the individual is, in a sense, a stranger to self and to others. The more this is the case, the greater the openness of the process of self-formation and the more marked the role of freedom from predetermination in that process. Freedom from predetermination exists along three dimensions: the free movement of thoughts and ideas or "inner freedom"; the freedom to relate, which is also the freedom not to relate; and freedom in relating, which is the possibility of maintaining secure self-boundaries in relations with others. In exploring freedom understood in this way, Professor Levine considers such topics as: the nature of inner freedom and its relationship to deliberation and choice; stranger anxiety and its connection to group dynamics and social connection; the internal factors that enable us to make the decisions that shape our lives and through our actions realize the ends embedded in our decisions; how our memories shape our thought processes and therefore the choices we make and the lives we lead that result from them; what makes it possible for us to live comfortably with and depend on people we do not know; concern for the welfare of strangers and how our welfare can be secure in a world where we do not care about others and they do not care about us.

Multiple Personality, Allied Disorders, and Hypnosis by Eugene L. Bliss Pdf
Since the time of Mesmer, in the late eighteenth century, spectacular feats of hypnosis have been documented by respected scientific researchers, yet hypnosis has remained divorced from the main body of science. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Eugene Bliss shows that the hypnotic capability of the mind is important to the theory and practice of psychiatry, and suggests that it deserves much more attention and research. In Multiple Personality, Allied Disorders and Hypnosis, Bliss explores both the nature of multiple personality and hypnosis, and discusses how an understanding of the latter can provide insight into the nature of certain psychiatric disorders. For instance, he views multiple personality as a form of self-hypnosis, an instance of learned schizophrenia rather than an organic disorder, as is generally thought. He outlines the trace elements involved in multiple personality and other psychiatric disorders, provides a fascinating history of the origins and current ideas about hypnosis, and gives a detailed account of the use of hypnosis in the treatment of multiple personality. Based on thirty years of clinical experience, and filled with insightful personal observations, Multiple Personality, Allied Disorders and Hypnosis is an informative, fascinating book for psychiatrists, psychologists, and anyone intrigued by hypnosis and its possible beneficial use.
Forbidden Memories by Mery Kolimon,Liliya Wetangterah,Karen Campbell-Nelson Pdf
Forbidden Memories is the first book to consider the experiences of women survivors of the 1965 anti-communist violence in the majority Christian provinces in Eastern Indonesia. So far, most studies of the 1965 violence have focused on the Muslim majority population of Java and the Hindu majority population of Bali. Forbidden Memories presents stories - from across the regions of Sumba, Sabu, Alor, Kupang, and other parts of West Timor - of women who were imprisoned and tortured or whose husbands were murdered. The book is a critical examination of the role of the Protestant church at the time of the violence and in its aftermath, including ongoing sanctions and political purges against those considered to be supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party. Themes include the impact of the violence on women teachers, members of the women's organization Gerwani, and the fracturing of social and religious communities. It critiques the role of religious and state institutions for failing to care for this vulnerable community in the face of state terrorism and a culture of fear. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO (Series: Herb Feith Translation Series) [Subject: History, Asian Studies, Indonesian Studies, Women's Studies, Politics, Religious Studies]
The American Troops have set words to one of their bugle calls. These words are indicative of their spirit - of the calculated determination with which they have faced up to their adventure: an adventure unparalleled for magnitude in the history of their nation. They fall in in two ranks. They tell off from the right in fours. "Move to the right in fours. Quick March," comes the order. The bugles strike up. The men swing into column formation, heads erect and picking up the step. To the song of the bugles they chant words as they march. "We've got four years to do this job. We've got four years to do this job." That is the spirit of America. Her soldiers give her four years, but to judge from the scale of her preparations she might be planning for thirty.
