A searing account of the ways in which mental health culture distorts our understanding of mental illness, abandons the severely ill, and threatens the lives of millions who desperately need care.Mental health culture in the 21st century is broken. After decades of influence from the anti-psychiatry movement, our conception of mental illness has become hopelessly romanticized, distorted by fictional depictions of madness that minimize the harms of debilitating conditions. Its become fashionable to insist that mental illness is socially constructed, politically imposed, or secretly empowering. But these claims are dishonest and destructive. Psychosis is not creativity; delusion is not just another way of knowing; schizophrenia is not a sane response to an insane world. Mental illnesses are real, biological conditions that cause profound torment and destroy lives. Treating them as metaphors or identities does not liberate the afflicted. It condemns them. With All in Your Head, Fredrik deBoer offers a powerful and long-overdue critique of modern mental health culture. He shows how deinstitutionalization, a well-intended but ultimately doomed corrective to psychiatrys early abuses, collapsed into a humanitarian disaster, leaving the severely mentally ill to cycle through homelessness, incarceration, and neglect. More recently, the gentrification of disability has turned mental illness into social currency, even as those with the most disabling conditions deteriorate on the streets. The digital age has only intensified this crisis, spreading implausible self-diagnoses and turning rare disorders into identity theater, while the truly ill are left out of the conversation. Bracing and rigorously argued, All in Your Head is a call for an honest reckoning. Caring for people with mental illness requires material support, institutional capacity, and medical intervention. Psychiatry, despite its flaws, remains the only lifeline for millions. To abandon it is to abandon the most vulnerable among us.

Uncover How Scripture And The Natural World Are Deeply Intertwined Every page of the Old Testament breathes with the life of Gods creation. From rainbows and desert winds to the roaring of a lion and green hills after rain, nature is woven through the biblical story and helps make it memorable. The natural world of the Bible holds memories of faith, failure, promise, and renewal. In Landscapes of Memory, Emma Austin blends biblical scholarship, memorystudies, and insights from her own journeys through the lands of the Bible to show how the natural world is a key to remembering and engaging the Old Testament in a sensory way. You are invited to walk the same paths, breathe the same air, and feelthe same seasons that shape the words of the Old Testament. Austin calls these connections among memory, nature, and text mnemonature. She demonstrates that the biblical landscape is not mere background, but a dynamic element in the story of faith, serving also to nurture spiritual formation. What youll find in Landscapes of Memory: Scholarly depth that integrates Old Testament biblical studies, archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern comparative literature, memory studies, spiritual formation, and personal experience. Austins new approach to how biblical authors reference nature; the memorable characteristics of natural features; and the impact on the readers understanding of the text, termed mnemonature. An invitation to come alive to the immersive world of Scripture, seeing how the natural world of the Bible invites you to engage with the biblical text in transformative ways. This bookis an enriching companion for scholars and students of the Old Testament, pastors, and anyone drawn to the relationship of Scripture, memory, and the natural world. With Landscapes of Memory, discover how nature can fill you with awe and direct your attention to the God who made it.

Reading Sevgi Soysal today restores the volatility and violence of female concerns, and expands our horizons of understanding how inequality operates. Helen Mackreath, The White ReviewWalking observes the braided lives of Ela and Memet, two young people growing up in 1970s Yeniehir. Ela is a girl swept up in the discomfort and excitement of becoming a woman. She plays dress up, trades secrets, and has her first kiss in a monastery garden. Later at university, she reads Hegel, Marx, and Heidegger, and reassures herself that there is still time to become a fully rounded person. Memet is a boy who wanders the labyrinthine streets of Tarlaba, thinking of dance halls, his guitar, and Playboy. He dreams of walking forward, out to the sea, and turning his back on the barbed conversations of sex that patter between boys and men. As Ela and Memets story converges, a peopled vision of Turkey cascades before us: children selling green plums on the streets, mothers coming and going, or an old Greek man conveying passengers onto a ferry where folksongs rumble. Conversations give way to fragments of nature and beauty found along city streets. Soysal writes as one uncovering and restoring a fresco, tending to its bright and unpredictable edges. Walking explores questions of love, fury, freedom, and agency with piercing clarity. It tells of two young people making sense of their conflicted feelings about who they are and what theyve been told. Even if I am like you and you are like me, how can we be as one, how can we make love, if we cut ourselves off from this injustice? For Soysal, the outside world, its conflicts and injustices, always flows to the world within, a world of memory, rebellion, and the hope of mornings first light. Soysals singularly humane vision restores dignity to transgressive desires and longings.

How conflict is waged through sound, vibration, and atmospheric occupation, from the drone-filled skies over Gaza to turbulent airs in Beirut.The Trembling City is a gripping account of cities that shudder under the vibrational force of occupation, siege, and war. From the persistent drone noise of Gaza to turbulent skies above Beirut, Gascia Ouzounian uncovers the insidious role of sound and vibration as instruments of violence that shape urban life. She introduces two interlinked concepts: vibrational warfarea covert violence enacted through waves; and atmospheric occupationthe seizure of a citys airs to unsettle, dominate, and control. Together, these frameworks reveal how cities themselves become instruments of war: amplifying sonic shock, conducting energy through bodies, air, and buildings, and saturating everyday life with violence.Moving beyond accounts of sonic violence that focus on overt formssound cannons, sonic boomsOuzounian traces more elusive but equally devastating forms: turbulent airs, residual sounds, and sonic erasures. Drawing on earwitness testimony, clandestine forensic analysis, and illicit archives, The Trembling City proposes new ways of hearing what states work to conceal: counterlistening as resistance, and a negative acoustics attuned to what cannotor must notbe heard. Urgent and unflinching, the book reimagines cities as vibrational territories and listening as both a site of injury and a practice of endurance, survival, and critique.

In My Friend Kim Jong-Un, she looks to the presentto the man currently responsible for upholding the national divide created after World War Two.
