Waves in the Ocean and Atmosphere : Introduction to Wave Dynamics
For over twenty years, the Joint Program in Physical Oceanography of MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has based its education program on a series of core courses in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and Physical Oceanography.One of the central courses in the Core is one on wave theory, tailored to meet the needs of both physical oceanography and meteorology students.I have had the pleasure of teaching of years, and I have particularly enjoyed the response of the the course for a number students to their exposure to the fascination of wave phenomena and theory.This book is a reworking of course notes that I have prepared for the students, and I was encouraged by their enthusiastic response to the notes to reach a larger audience with this material.The emphasis, both in the course and in this text, is twofold: the de velopment of the basic ideas of wave theory and the description of specific types of waves of special interest to oceanographers and meteorologists.Throughout the course, each wave type is introduced both for its own intrinsic interest and importance and as a ve hicle for illustrating some general concept in the theory of waves.Topics covered range from small-scale surface gravity waves to large-scale planetary vorticity waves.

What is the difference between angling and fly fishing?
Angling is a broad term that encompasses all forms of fishing, including using bait, lures, or flies. Fly fishing, on the other hand, is a specific type of angling that uses a weighted line and an artificial fly to catch fish. In fly fishing, the angler uses a specialized fly rod and reel to cast the fly, which is often made to imitate insects or other natural prey. The techniques and equipment used in fly fishing are distinct from traditional angling methods, making it a unique and specialized form of fishing.

Should fishing only be allowed through angling to prevent overfishing?
Fishing should not only be allowed through angling to prevent overfishing. While angling can be a sustainable and selective method of fishing, it is not the only solution to prevent overfishing. Other measures such as implementing catch limits, regulating fishing gear, and establishing marine protected areas are also important in managing fish populations and preventing overfishing. A combination of various sustainable fishing practices and regulations is necessary to ensure the long-term health of marine ecosystems and fish populations.

Introduction to Decumbiture
A decumbiture chart, taken from the time a patient 'takes to their bed' (Latin decumbere, to lie down), is a traditional technique used in medical astrology to help discover the causes of an illness and to ascertain if the treatment is working and whether recovery is likely.Very few of us have the luxury of taking to our beds these days but the time for a doctor's appointment or the onset of a fever for example are equally valid and the resulting chart can be very informative.Wanda Sellar teaches the techniques in a clear and easily understandable format then demonstrates their use in a wide variety of case histories

Jung : An Introduction
This book is an introduction to the ideas of the Swiss psychologist and psychoanalyst, C.G. Jung. The first chapter describes his early home life whilst subsequent chapters are devoted to his work in various sectors.This started in psychiatry at Burghölzli Hospital in Zürich, where Eugen Bleuler was the Director, a significant figure in Jung’s life for many years.The book goes on to describe at some length the professional relationship between Freud and Jung, and the disastrous impact of their subsequent acrimonious split in 1913 on themselves but, more importantly, on the profession of psychoanalysis itself, both at that time and subsequently. Several chapters elaborate Jung’s main concepts, including an extensive investigation of his all-important work on psychological alchemy, which includes 10 black and white illustrations from the alchemical text The Rosarium Philosophorum and 10 black and white ox-herding pictures of Kuo-an from the twelfth-century Buddhist tradition.The rest of the book depicts some of the significant women and men who contributed to analytical psychology, which is the term Jung chose to designate his psychoanalytic discipline.This is used interchangeably with the term psychoanalysis as many Jungians designate themselves psychoanalysts, including the author, as a New York State licensed psychoanalyst.This is also an account of some of the scientific, philosophical, and psychological influences on Jung’s thinking. The book concludes with an entry on China, where the author has spent the last few years analysing, lecturing, supervising, and teaching analytical psychology to Chinese psychotherapists, counsellors, and students in Beijing and Shanghai. This comprehensive work is essential reading for all those with an interest in C.G. Jung and his work.

Depression : An Introduction
This book attempts to do justice to the depth and complexity of depression – as to its causes and its treatment in psychotherapy.It challenges the reductive medical view of depression as a serotonin deficiency resulting in a collection of undesirable symptoms to be dispatched with antidepressants or CBT exercises.Rather, it locates the origins of depression in childhood adversity, primarily caused by unattuned, cold, critical, hostile or abusive caregiving.Insecure attachment interacts with other elements of a stressful life history as well as with genetic makeup to pave the way for depression.Such a childhood has long-term impacts on the setting of the stress and threat responses of the nervous system. Depression fundamentally indicates a weak and non-resilient sense of self, coupled with limited capacities for trust and either autonomy or intimacy in relationships.These are the issues that must be tackled in psychotherapy.Since depression carries a message for the sufferer, it must be investigated for its meaning.Why has the individual withdrawn from life and what are they being asked to change in how they live and relate?Before this reparative and creative phase of therapy can begin, however, we must remember that depression is not just ‘low’ mood but also ‘stuck’ mood.Rigid beliefs and processes that block therapeutic engagement can be gently questioned by helping the client see that they are held by only one part of the self, whereas other ‘for growth’ parts carry hope and a willingness to play and explore.Overall, it is crucial in working with depression to see and to relate to the client as a whole person; not simply a bundle of cognitive shortcomings to be corrected, but as an emotional, organismic, relational, existential and spiritual being. Depression: An Introduction presents a biopsychosocial model, combining developmental and attachment perspectives with genetics and neurobiology.Its therapeutic orientation is humanistic and integrative but has much to offer anyone wanting to know more about this widely known but little understood condition.
