Socrates didn't operate as a midwife - contrary to what he said about himself.

Nor is it that God sent Adam to the world and then realised he had to send somebody extra, Eve,

in order to save it.

The idea of the book, was not there originally. It was something that started to grow during the years after I lost her. At first they were simple phrases on paper, memories and lines, in order to deal with her passing. You could see it as a journal, as where I tried to write it away from me, to spend hours on a single sentence, just to confront the memories and write them down. It was my way of dealing with the pain, my way of talking about it. During the years however, these phrases began t...

In new resources for individual psychological diagnosis wordt een onderzoekstechniek beschreven op basis van het werk van Gé Calis.

Tevens bouwt de benadering voort op het werk van beeldend kunstenaar Frans Coppelmans.

Dit onderzoeksinstrument richt zich zowel op de cognitie als op de emotie. Individuele gegevens worden verzameld door een subtiel samenspel tussen het onbewuste en bewuste in de mens.

Often, books about signal analysis and processing are either highly theoretical with high-level mathematics or contain oversimplified explanations which cannot answer the questions of how and why adequately. In this book, the writer attempts to explain the theory from a practical viewpoint, using a common-sense way of thinking. The theoretical principles described are mainly applied to speech sounds but the complex nature of these sounds makes this approach suitable to audio signals in general.

The book contains mathematical formulas, but sparsely used, serving as conclusions of the preceding explanations in ‘normal’ language. The more extended mathematical manipulations can be found in the appendice...

Even 75 years after the end of World War II, Hollywood productions and the war’s battlefield sites continue to draw large audiences. Over the years, representations of the war have changed from a focus on its glory to its suffering though. The ideal “lest we forget” has been extended to “never again.” By drawing on interviews with actors in the field of remembrance and U.S. remembrance tourists, using Band of Brothers (1993 and 2001) as a case study, this thesis will critically disc...

Most of us experience high stress levels in our daily lives, and we seem to accept it as the price for living a “good” life. However, if we do not handle stress well, it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and mental disorders. Almost 50 percent of the people I trained and coached in the past year told me that they had experienced burnout, had just rec...

This book is a spiritual biography. When I was 7 years old, some new playmates I just met almost buried me alive. When everything turned dark and I was lost in panic, my spirit detached itself from my body in order to find help.

Through experiments with hypnosis, out-of-body experiences and past life regression, it became more and more clear to me that body and mind are separate components, connected in a temporary way.

Besides this, I was fascinated to discover how by means of alternative...

Nepal, the cradle of AUM, the spiritual sound that travels on a breeze of the wind.

A pop-up storybook awaits with temples, snowpowdered peaks, emerald green lakes and forests with rumbling cascades of white-blue icings, incredible wildlife, mystic scents of a thousand candles, and endless happiness.
