Recent neuroscience research reflects a new optimism concerning the ability of the brain to remain flexible and benefit from enriched environments throughout life. Psychotherapy is such an enriched environment, tailored to encourage the growth and integration of neural networks regulating memory, cognition, emotion and attachment. This text hypothesizes that all forms of psychotherapy - from psychoanalysis to behaviourism - are successful to the degree to which they enhance plasticity in relevant neural circuits. Many forms of psychotherapy, developed in the absence of any understanding of the brain, are now being supported by findings in neuroscience. The text suggests that the "unscientific" use of language and emotional attunement, for which psychotherapists are often criticized by those in the hard sciences, may actually provide the best medium for neural growth and integration. The basic premises are that the brain is an organ of adaptation which is first built by early interpersonal experiences and that psychotherapy creates an interpersonal matrix capable of rebuilding it. Written for psychotherapists and others interested in the relationship between the brain and behaviour, the primary goal of this text is to encourage us to consider the brain when attempting to understand ourselves and others. Neural networks dedicated to memory, attachment, fear, imagination and executive control are discussed from a variety of perspectives including evolution, development and the effects of pathological states. The text provides examples of present and potential future applications of neuroscience to psychotherapy..

Do you fear that God is angry with you? Do you wonder if God is really for you? if God really loves you? Deep down many of us believe that we are not good enough, and never will be good enough, to have a meaningful relationship with God. This is because we have been spiritually trained in ways that have left us with distorted and inadequate spiritualities of four different kinds:

* abusive
* anorexic
* addictive
* codependent

And we are left with a toxic combination of fear and shame. We may try to get it right. We may try to control ourselves and others. We may try to please God and to earn God's love. After a while we find ourselves exhausted and discouraged, and we may feel even more alienated from God.

Jeff VanVonderen, Dale Ryan and Juanita Ryan understand this problem because they have been there both personally and professionally. And they are prepared to help you rebuild your spiritual life. If you find yourself living out a burdensome and unfulfilling spirituality, this book is for you. If you are longing to have a relationship with God that works, this book can show you the way..

Most of the world's population now lives in cities. So if we are to address the problems of environmental deterioration and peak oil adequately, the city has to be a major focus of attention.

Ecocities is about re-building cities and towns based on ecological principles for the long term sustainability, cultural vitality and health of the Earth's biosphere. Unique in the literature is the book's insight that the form of the city really matters and that it is within our ability to change it, and crucial that we do. Further, that the ecocity within its bioregion is comprehensible and do-able, and can produce a healthy and potentially happy future.

Ecocities describes the place of the city in evolution, nature and history. It pays special attention to the key question of accessibility and transportation, and outlines design principles for the ecocity. The reader is encouraged to plunge in to its economics and politics: the kinds of businesses, planning and leadership required. The book then outlines the tools by which a gradual transition to the ecocity could be accomplished. Throughout, this new edition is generously illustrated with the author's own inspired visions of what such rebuilt cities might actually look like.

Richard Register is one of the world's great theorists and authors in ecological city design and planning. The founder of Urban Ecology and Ecocity Builders, he convened the first International Ecocity Conference in 1990, lectures around the world, and has authored two previous books, as well as an earlier edition of Ecocities.
