Women and Monarchy in MacEdonia

In this groundbreaking work, Elizabeth Donnelly Carney examines the role of royal women in the Macedonian Argead dynasty from the sixth century B.C. to 168 B.C. Women were excluded from the exercise of power in most of the Hellenic world. However, Carney shows that the wives, mothers, and daughters of kings played important roles in Macedonian public life and occasionally determined the course of national events. Carney assembles an exhaustive array of evidence on the political role of Argead royal women. She also presents a series of biographical sketches describing the public careers of all the royal women - including Olympias, mother of Alexander the Great, and the warrior Cynnane, his half-sister - whose names are preserved in ancient sources.

Community & Culture

Cities are places of amazing complexity with people from all types of religious, ethnic, educational and economic backgrounds. Many cities are filled with people who have fled a rural home to try to find economic stability. But rural people often lose their traditional support systems when they move to the city. Other people live in the city because they are unable to move elsewhere. They are trapped in ghettos with youth gangs, crime, drugs and unemployment. Spiritual poverty often accompanies the physical impoverishment of their lives. At the same time, cities are places of great wealth, culture and excitement and have much to offer. Glandion Carney will help you explore the pitfalls and the possibilities of life in the city, as you consider what your mission and the church's mission might be. (from the back cover).

Insomnia and Anxiety (Series in Anxiety and Related Disorders)

The statistics show that as much as twenty percent of the population suffers from chronic insomnia―and one-fourth of those with the condition eventually develop an anxiety disorder. As comorbid conditions, they contribute to any number of physical and social problems. Yet too often insomnia is undiagnosed, or treated as merely a symptom of the patient’s anxiety. Insomnia and Anxiety is the first clinician guidebook that considers the evaluation and management of insomnia and related sleep disturbances that occur conjointly with the common anxiety disorders. By exploring the ways that one condition may exacerbate the other, its authors present robust evidence of the limitations of viewing insomnia as secondary to GAD, agoraphobia, PTSD, and others in the anxiety spectrum. The book reviews cognitive and emotional factors common to anxiety and sleep disorders, and models a cognitive-behavioral approach to therapy in which improved sleep is a foundation for improved symptom management. Beginning and veteran practitioners alike will find vital insights into all areas of these challenging cases, including: <ul>
<li>Diagnostic and assessment guidelines.</li> <li>Cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia.</li> <li>Behavioral strategies for managing insomnia in the context of anxiety.</li> <li>Cognitive strategies for managing comorbid anxiety and insomnia.</li> <li>Sleep-related cognitive processes.</li> <li>Pharmacological treatment considerations.</li> </ul> Insomnia and Anxiety is highly useful to clinical psychologists given the range of treatment strategies it describes and to researchers because of its emphasis on the theoretical and empirical bases for its interventions. In addition, its accessible style makes it an excellent training tool for students of therapy and psychopathology.

Trade Secrets

In fall 2000 Trade Secrets hit the market and made a very big splash. Senator Carney undertook an extensive national tour and her memoir was the talk of the country. Senator Pat Carney is indeed one of Canada?s most innovative and adventurous personalities. From her birth in Shanghai, China, she details her personal and extraordinary professional life. Carney provides us with an inside look at newspapers, business, and politics, and the many fascinating people she has known over the years. She chronicles the rowdy world of journalists in Vancouver in the 1960s. She describes how she established her successful economic consulting firm in Yellowknife, revealing her love and concern for Canada?s north. She writes passionately about the hazards of being both a politician and a mother. We learn of her mixed feelings regarding the Free Trade Agreement, which she helped negotiate. And we go behind the scenes to see the inner workings of political life in our nation?s capital.
