First Published in 1987. The Rorschach method since its creation in 1921 has gradually come to dominate the field of projective techniques in both the United States and Europe. Along with the Thematic Apperception and the Szondi tests, it is among the most widely used tools in clinical psychiatry, where it contributes to the understanding of personality patterns and to the evaluation of degrees of mental disorder. This book written by Dr. Zygmunt A. Piotrowski, who is an outstanding pioneer worker in the field of perceptanalysis, having spent twenty-two years of active research endeavor to elucidate the various problems. The material is well organized and lucidly presented in a way to enable the student as well as the more mature clinicians to understand many details not available previously in Rorschach publications. In fact, we have here the most complete book yet written on perceptanalysis as a science. The text explains in a concrete, step-by-step fashion the process of the examination in terms of the administration of the test; the basic principles of scoring, which are so fundamentally important; the determinant components of form, human movement, nonhuman-movement, color, and shading responses; and the meaning of the content.
Intended for students of many different backgrounds with only a modest knowledge of mathematics, this text features self-contained chapters that can be adapted to several types of geometry courses.

First Published in 1990. Volume Two of Studies of Economic History of South Africa, looks at the Lesotho and Swaziland regions. The unfolding history and historiography of Southern Africa pose profound challenges for both analysis and praxis in the last decade of the twentieth century. These challenges are reflected in the range of investigations and contradictions, some of which are treated here, which together constitute an intellectual and political conjuncture. This collection of studies deals with the countries which were not included in the companion book on the economic history of the Front- Line States. Most of the space in the present volume is devoted to South Africa, primarily because of its importance to the region but also because contributions to the economic history of that country in English are very extensive as compared to the other states of Southern Africa.
While comfort and convenience are nice to have, true fulfilment often stems from facing life's challenges head on. These lessons are meant to provide perspective.

The author ZA! Rhena Richards remembered, quiet, and solemn times in her life, where her thoughts and focus became clear, as the global pandemic COVID-19 of 2020 ransacked and took hostage all rigorous lives, all lifestyles, and the comforts of "normalcy," but this time, something was very different. She realized she had a purpose and needed to respond. The quiet of her became peaceful, and she took comfort in seeking this in remembrance.--a sullen, tender-aged child sat alone on the veranda of her grandmother's house. As she pined for her mother daily, she gazed into the light blue sky. All of the occupants were inside. She heard a clear audible voice, "Where are you from? What is your name?" She does not answer, but she heard the questions. Returning to the veranda, the following morning, she hears the same clear voice again, ask, "Where are you from? What is your name?" She hears the questions, and again she does not answer, but this time she begins to immediately reflect on the questions, even throughout the night where the windows were open and the house fan span, circulating heat across her skin as the mosquitoes feasted on it. Stooping to sit on the veranda on the new, born, morning, the same voice repeated the questions. Finally responding. She said, "I don't know" (in her head). The soft wind-like voice said, "Go and ask her with the skirt on." "I'm scared," she said, "they don't like me." The clear voice said, "I will go with you. Pull, tug on her skirt." The sullen tender-aged child went inside and looked for her with the skirt and pulled it and asked, "Where am I from? What's my name?" A warm, smiling caramel-colored face embedded with alabaster eyes, shone down, and told her. The little girl walked back outside, poised herself on the steps, and said, "America, Rhena. I want to go to America. My Mommy is there. How do I get there?" In her head the little girl asked and finally smiled. The still, quiet voice said, "I will go with you.
The purpose of this study is to describe the development of philosophy in Poland since the end of the Second World War and the development of Marxist-Leninist philosophy which, owing to international political events, has assumed an impor tant role in the intellectual life of contemporary Poland. This task could not have been accomplished without relating post-war developments to those of the inter war period. Consequently, the period studied covers the years 1918-1958. Yet another extension was necessary. Marxism-Leninism regards sociology as a part of philosophy. Moreover, Marxism-Leninism often resorts to sociology to support or justify some of its philosophical views. Finally, its criticism of 'bourgeois philosophy' is often concerned with social philosophy and socio logical theories which supposedly are implicit or explicit in 'bourgeois philoso phy'. For this reason it was desirable to consider in this study some theoretical and methodological problems of the social sciences. They are taken into ac count when they illuminate philosophical controversies or the evolution of Marxist-Leninist philosophy. Marxism-Leninism is not only a new line of development but also a new point of departure in Polish philosophy. It provides a striking contrast with the established philosophical tradition which originated roughly at the time when G. E. Moore and Bertrand Russell initiated the analytical trend in English philosophy. The contrast can be epitomised by the contradistinction of philoso phy and ideology, chosen as the title of this study.

A non-fiction pandemic book that highlights the real-life events and reflections of the past two years during the COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis. It has been almost a year after COVID-19 pandemic. 2 years of struggle. Will we ever remember how MCO isolated us alone at home? It was difficult to catch up with our children' education when PDPR was the government's effort to continue proper education for our children. The front liners needed to leave their children at home especially when the kindergarten was closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Especially, when both of parents working and no room for 'Work from Home' as we had a staff shortage. At the same time, they are worried about catching the virus and transmits to their love ones at home... Will our next generation knows how people fall sick one by one? Some lost both parents... Children became 'yatim piatu' in the blink of eyes. Even worse, some lost multiple family members due to severe COVID-19 ARDS and its complications. As a doctor, we witnessed that humans may survive with paO2 even lower than 55mmHg. Awake prone was established. Methylprednisolone was used in a very high dose. The fear of COVID-19 ARDS more than overwhelming infection due to high dose steroids... And organizing pneumonia. This book described how the healthcare workers in critical care and operation theatres and our Ministry of Health team had strived to keep the people safe and contained the virus from causing catastrophic mass death. And kept the healthcare system from collapsing. A lesson from the recent COVID19 Pandemic. can click this link-https://drpakarbius.com/covid-19-stories
