It is because of this belief that John Gilman felt compelled to put into his own words his life story - and quite a story it is. This book offers accounts of a man who in high school led a successful student strike in support of a badly needed new school building; who received the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and Cluster, and a special citation from President Roosevelt for his defense of freedom during World War II; who proudly proclaimed his...

African Summer: The Story of a Fish out of Water
ISBN: 9781482731064 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Stuck like a tongue in the mouth of Senegal, the tiny country of the Gambia is one of those places the world forgets until the president puts down a coup - but as Andrew Gilman discovered one hot summer, even the craziest dictator can be nice at his own birthday party.

Signing up for a seven-week trip, Andrew never thought Gambian life might mean knife-wielding maniacs and hungry crocodiles, swimming in hippo-infested waters or barely...

Face of Madness: Hugh W. Diamond and the Origin of Psychiatric Photography
ISBN: 9781626542396 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Today the use of photography (and its extension, video) in psychiatry is a common practice. But in the 1850s, when pioneering medical photographer and psychiatrist Dr. Hugh W. Diamond was behind the camera, this technique was an innovative application of art to science, reflecting and expanding the contemporary interest in physiognomic characteristics. In "The Face of Madness," notable scholar Sander Gilman has curated a unique exhibition of 54 of Dr. Diamond's photographs and commentary. Diamond's photographs are eloquent portraits of the insane-the melancholy, the depressed, the... Today the use of photography (and its extension, video) in psychiatry is a common practice.
