    Downloaded by [New York University] at 06:54 14 August 2016 Classic Case Studies in Psychology The human mind is both extraordinary and compelling. But this is more than a collection of case studies; it is a selection of stories that illustrate some of the most extreme forms of human behaviour. From the leader who convinced his followers to kill themselves to the man who lost his memory; from the boy who was brought up as a girl to the woman with several personalities, Geoff Rolls illustrates some of the most fundamental tenets of psychology. Each case study has provided invaluable insights for scholars and researchers, and amazed the public at large. Several have been the inspiration for works of fiction, for example the story of Kim Peek, the real Rain Man. This new edition features three new case studies, including the story of Charles Decker who was tried for the attempted murder of two people but acquitted on the basis of a neurological condition, and Dorothy Martin, whose persisting belief in an impending alien invasion is an illuminating example of cognitive dissonance. In addition, each case study is contextualized with more typical behaviour, while the latest thinking in each sub-field is also discussed. Classic Case Studies in Psychology is accessibly written and requires no prior knowledge of psychology, but simply an interest in the human condition. It is a book that will amaze, sometimes disturb, but above all enlighten its readers. Downloaded by [New York University] at 06:54 14 August 2016 Geoff Rolls is Head of Psychology at Peter Symonds College in Winchester and formerly a Research Fellow at Southampton University, UK.

DESCRIPTORS *Access to Information; *Biological Sciences; Biology; Information Dissemination; Information Sources; Library Cooperation; Library Development; Library Materials; *Library Services; *Program Development; *Public Libraries; User Needs (Information) IDENTIFIERS *Human Genome Project; *North Suburban Library System IL ABSTRACT The "Mapping the Human Genome" project demonstrated that librarians can help whomever they serve in accessing information resources in the areas of biological and health information, whether it is the scientists who are developing the information or a member of the public who is using the information. Public libraries can guide library users through the vast array of information and also provide opportunities for discussion and debate. This paper presents ideas for public library programs in the areas of biological and health sciences, as well as discussing opportunities for partnering among all different types of libraries so that libraries can provide this information to the public. Discussion focuses on the North Suburban Library System (NSLS), a consortium of over 650 academic, public, school, and special libraries in the suburbs north of Chicago, Illinois, which received a grant from the Department of Energy to develop information and programming about the human genome project through public libraries.

  • WATCHERS of MOUNT HERMON POSSESSING the PORTALS the Rise and Fall of the Nephilim by Luis B
    WATCHERS OF MOUNT HERMON POSSESSING THE PORTALS The Rise and Fall of the Nephilim by Luis B. Vega [email protected] www.PostScripts.org ‘For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers...against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in High Places’. – Ephesians 6:12 The purpose of this study is to provide a visual display of the 200 Watcher class of Angels that descended on Mount Hermon during the days of Enoch on Earth. It is also to add to the body of research already done on the subject. Mount Hermon is nested in- between the political borders of Lebanon, Syria and Israel. It is exactly 1997 nautical miles to the Equator from the summit where there is presently a U.N. Radar Station. It is amazingly 33 degrees from the Equator and 33 degrees east from the Paris Meridian Line. It is exactly 333 miles to the summit of Mount Sinai in Arabia and 365 miles to the Great Pyramid in Egypt. As one can sense, the site is tied to Sacred Geometry, Sacred Knowledge and Sacred Vows. The topic of these 200 Watchers has a direct impact on why the Flood of Noah happened and how they helped to impede the Children of Israel from possessing the Promised Land afterwards. This phenomenon is also a metaphor of the real ‘wrestling’ that is occurring presently due to the effects of such demonic and Luciferian workings that are pitted against the Body of Christ on Earth presently as result of the disembodied spirits of the Giants.

(August 2009) Nancy Rochelle Bradley, B.A., Sam Houston State University; M.A., Pennsylvania State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Paul A. Parrish Milton writes in Areopagitica of the “true warfaring Christian” who can “apprehend and consider vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet abstain, and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is truly better.” Though many reformers saw both human nature and the faculty of reason as depraved after the fall, Milton and other radical writers in the period emphasized the role that reason can and should play in the experience of spiritual warfare. The dissertation therefore begins by considering the theological contexts within which writers of the English Reformation understood evil and human encounters with evil, especially in the form of temptations, but also in the form of disturbing dreams and satanic presences.
