Through the diaries and personal papers of a German woman, Vera Conrad, this book documents her wartime experiences and deepens our understanding of the complex experiences of trauma and grief that National Socialist supporters experienced. Building on scholarship about mourning and widowhood that largely focuses on state policies and public discourses, This Horrible Uncertainty provides an interpretive framework of people’s perceptions of events and their capacity to respond to them. Using a history of emotions approach, Erika Quinn establishes that keeping the diary allowed Conrad to develop different selves in response to her responsibilities, fear, and grief after her husband was declared missing in 1943.

Sonny was self employed hard working man who was diagnosed with end stage Multiple Myeloma (cancer of the bone plasma) in 2013. We were always that hard-working average couple who heard about others who had cancer. We never expected to hear those words directed at us. Within the first year of being diagnosed he had many complications and set backs of what was supposed to be routine treatments to get back to a somewhat normal life. It is an account of our reality, my husbands cancer and how we delt with everyday life and obstacles of unfairness in cancer. Sometimes in anger, hate, humor, and love. Everyday dealing with fear of the unknown and always questioning our inability to understand why us. This is not written to obtain everyone pity for us, but to let others know thought it’s not easy there is always hope and to never give up. No matter the outcome or the ride along the way, you may question God but clearly, He is always in control.

2012 Mythopoeic Award Winner In this long-awaited new novel from American Book Award winner Lisa Goldstein, an ages-old family secret breaches the boundaries between reality and magic, revealing the places between them. When Berkeley student Will Taylor is introduced by his best friend, Ben, to the mysterious Feierabend sisters, Will quickly falls for enigmatic Livvy, a chemistry major and accomplished chef. But Livvy’s family—vivacious actress Maddie, family historian Rose, and their mother, absent-minded Sylvia—are behaving strangely. The Feierabend women believe that luck is their handmaiden, and so it is, almost as though they are living in a fairy tale. But the price for such gifts is extremely high. Will and Ben will unravel the riddle of a supernatural bargain, hoping to save Livvy from what appears to be an inescapable fate.

“Life is short, and the Art so long; the occasion fleeting; experience fallacious; and judgment difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and the externals, cooperate.” –attributed to Hippocrates, c. 400 B.C.E. The award-winning author of How We Die and The Art of Aging, venerated physician Sherwin B. Nuland has now written his most thoughtful and engaging book. The Uncertain Art is a superb collection of essays about the vital mix of expertise, intuition, sound judgment, and pure chance that plays a part in a doctor’s practice and life. Drawing from history, the recent past, and his own life, Nuland weaves a tapestry of compelling stories in which doctors have had to make decisions in the face of uncertainty. Topics include the primitive (and sometimes illegal) procedures doctors once practiced with good intentions, such as grave robbing and prescribing cocaine as an anesthetic (which resulted in a physician becoming America’s first cocaine addict); the curious “cures” for irregularity touted by people from the ancient Egyptians to the cereal titan John Harvey Kellogg and bodybuilder Charles Atlas; and healers grappling with today’s complex moral and ethical quandaries, from cloning to gene therapy to the adoption of Eastern practices like acupuncture. Nuland also recounts his most dramatic experiences in a forty-year medical career: the time he was called out of the audience of a Broadway play to help a man having a heart attack (when no other doctor there would respond), and how he formed a profound friendship with an unforgettable–and doomed–heart patient. Behind these inspiring accounts always lie the mysteries of the human body and human nature, the manner in which the ill can will themselves back to health and the odd and essential interactions between a body’s own healing mechanisms and a doctor’s prescriptions. Riveting and wise, amusing and heartrending, The Uncertain Art is Sherwin Nuland’s best work, gems from a man who has spent his professional life acting in the face of ambiguity and sharing what he has learned.

The Uncertain Footprint is not a religious novel, in spite of using ecclesiastic elements, a monastery, some monks, a chapel, but is a deeply human novel since men and women are its protagonists acting according to their natural passions and virtues. Making a vivid analysis of the personages, the author debates the subject of the celibacy of the clergy with a very sincere objectivity. It contains a surprising action because of its veracity and psychological truculence, both moral and emotional. The subject is debated with the nudity of the fight at the bottom of each conscience, with truly human elements as it corresponds to the gender of the novel, without any concessions to the scruples, to the hypocrisy, and with the full visceral implication of the case. ItaEUR(tm)s a naked appearance in the surface of the recondite magma of emotional, pathologic problems, of ascetic achievements, of elementary frustrations, of forced happiness, and of not confessed desertion, or of confessed desertion of those who walk following an uncertain footprint and leaving it behind themaEUR"let alone nowadays under the signs of the time. At the bottom of it palpitates the anxiety for new ways, the thirst for the truth instead of the sophisticated law, the respect for the natural law above the inhuman habit. Everything happens within the calm climate of the American coenobium and in the feminine and exiting softness of the tropics. Yet the final valuing of the woman being present in the background, that leads to the prestige of her dimensions of spirit and of flesh, so despised so far, while the loss of them causes frustration in the integral man. With the end hanging upon the hollow, hanging on the air, under the painful doubt whether the correct step is followed, the one that the saints follow, with the mind always open to the GodaEUR(tm)s research, to the manaEUR(tm)s research, to the truth research.

From Frankenstein and Dracula to Psycho and The Chainsaw Massacre, horror fiction has provided our culture with some of its most enduring themes and narratives. Considering horror fiction both as a genre and as a social phenomenon, Joseph Grixti provides a theoretical and historical framework for reconsidering horror and the cultural apparatus that surrounds it. First published in 1989, this book looks at shifts in the genre’s meaning – its fascination with excess, its commentaries on the categories and boundaries of culture – and at interpretations of horror from psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, cultural and media studies. Terrors of Uncertainty brings together a provocative range of perspectives from across the disciplines, which combine to raise important questions about the relationship between fiction and society, and the way in which we use fiction to resolve or evade our fears of uncertainty.

This Handbook explores the cognitive, motivational, interpersonal, clinical, and applied aspects of personal uncertainty. It showcases both the diversity and the unity that defines contemporary perspectives on uncertainty in self within social and personality psychology. The contributions to the volume are all written by distinguished scholars in personality, social psychology, and clinical psychology united by their common focus on the causes and consequences of self-uncertainty. Chapters explore the similarities and differences between personal uncertainty and other psychological experiences in terms of their nature and relationship with human thought, emotion, motivation, and behavior. Specific challenges posed by personal uncertainty and the coping strategies people develop in their daily life are identified. There is an assessment of the potential negative and positive repercussions of coping with the specific experience of self-uncertainty, including academic, health, and relationship outcomes. Throughout, strategies specifically designed to assist others in confronting the unique challenges posed by self-uncertainty in ways that emphasize healthy psychological functioning and growth are promoted. In addition, the contributions to the Handbook touch on the psychological, social, and cultural context of the new millennium, including concepts such as Friedman’s "flat world," confidence, the absence of doubt in world leaders, the threat of terrorism since 9/11, the arts, doubt and religious belief, and views of doubt as the universal condition of humankind. The Handbook is an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners, and senior undergraduate and graduate students in social and personality psychology, clinical and counseling psychology, educational psychology, and developmental psychology.
