Stalking Irish Madness: Searching for the Roots of My

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tracey, Patrick, PUBLISHER: Bantam, In this powerful, sometimes harrowing, deeply felt story, Patrick Tracey journeys to Ireland to track the origin and solve the mystery of his Irish-American family's multigenerational struggle with schizophrenia. For most Irish Americans, a trip to Ireland is often an occasion to revisit their family's roots. But for Patrick Tracey, the lure of his ancestral home is a much more powerful need: part pilgrimage, part investigation to confront the genealogical mystery of schizophrenia-a disease that had claimed a great-great-great-grandmother, a grandmother, an uncle, and, most recently, two sisters. As long as Tracey could remember, schizophrenia ran on his mother's side, seldom spoken of outright but impossible to ignore. Devastated by the emotional toll the disease had already taken on his family, terrified of passing it on to any children he might have, and inspired by the recent discovery of the first genetic link to schizophrenia, Tracey followed his genealogical trail from Boston to Ireland's county Roscommon, home of his oldest-known schizophrenic ancestor. In a renovated camper, Tracey crossed the Emerald Isle to investigate the country that, until the s, had the world's highest rate of institutionalization for mental illness, following clues and separating fact from fiction in the legendary relationship the Irish have had with madness. Tracey's path leads from fairy mounds and ancient caverns still shrouded in superstition to old pubs whose colorful inhabitants are a treasure trove of local lore. He visits the massive and grim asylum where his famine starved ancestors may have lived. And he interviews the Irish research team that first cracked the schizophrenic code to learn how much-and how little-we know about this often misunderstood disease. Filled with history, science, and lore, Stalking Irish Madness is an unforgettable chronicle of one man's attempt to make sense of his family's past and to find hope for the future of schizophrenic patients.

Searching for a new member of the family!

I'm possibly looking desperately for the impossible here, but my search has to start somewhere! What I'm looking for: Ideally, a Black mw/hw Cob Gelding, around h and between 4 and 6 years old, and broken to ride. I will however, consider Mares and other colours. No smaller than 14.2h, and will consider unbroken 3yr olds. I can offer a 10* home with plenty of experience (approx 16 years) I haven't got a huge budget at the moment, but I have got loads of love and experience to give, train and produce my next little family member, who will hopefully one day, be my daughter's best friend. I've had a break of about a year to have my daughter (who was born prematurely) and it's been one hell of a year...now I feel I need something for me, to keep me sane and get us both out doing thing, doing something I love and had missed dearly. I'm also happy to travel within around 2 hours drive from Sheffield. Please contact me if you think you have something I could offer a permanent home to. Read More

Send My Roots Rain: A Spirituality of Justice and Mercy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McKenna, Megan, PUBLISHER: Doubleday Religion, Megan McKenna has long been well known in the Catholic community as a writer, speaker, and teacher. In her lectures and writings, McKenna focuses on the central place of storytelling in the spiritual life and on the role of the storyteller as a teacher. She explores the illuminating power of stories, examining both traditional and contemporary tales that are integral parts of Christian, Zen, Jewish, Sufi, Native American, and many other spiritual traditions. "Send My Roots Rain" makes it clear that she is a masterful storyteller and teacher herself. A collection of both previously published and unpublished writings, "Send My Roots Rain" features parables that will lead readers to the discovery of timeless truths. Through engaging tales of love, friendship, freedom, peace, and loss, she brings to light the life-enhancing qualities of having a relationship with God, and shows that spiritual fulfillment can only be found through justice and mercy. Sometimes spare and stark, often richly warm and humorous, and always refreshingly provocative, McKenna's writings transcend particular traditions and practices to reveal the teachings at the heart of all faiths. In the tradition of Merton and Nouwen, McKenna offers a contemporary, progressive perspective on age-old beliefs. "Send My Roots Rain" will attract the many people already familiar with McKenna's writings and teachings, and introduce a fresh and exciting voice to millions of new readers.

The Manufacture of Madness: A Comparative Study of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Szasz, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Syracuse University Press, Every age, Thomas Szasz maintains, has its methods of labeling others to assign them a particular fate; the witch and the heretic were consigned to fire, for example. In the twentieth century, however, the priest has been replaced by the psychiatrist, the infidel by the patient; only the way in which the victims differ from society at large with its ensuing punishment (all for the good of society, then, as now) is different. Indeed, Szasz makes it clear that medicine is if anything a more insidious tyrant than religion because it purports to be beneficial to the patient as well as the commonwealth. "Of the thousands of books published each year in the United States, only a small proportion represents a significant contribution to the advancement of man's understanding of man. In my opinion, The Method of Madness is one of those rare books". -- American Sociological Review
