在《飛越創傷》，烏蘇拉沃爾茲勇敢且充滿智慧地面對這最殘酷的問題：「靈魂謀殺之後靈魂是否凋零？」她綜括此領域的文獻及方法學範疇，提出許多真實例證與個案研究，為整合創傷之後的殘破碎片，示現一個切合實際且充滿希望的漸進式療法。她指出這條狹窄的通道，從自我死亡的必須性、堅守最艱難的中間帶，通往照料那份更擴展且更能容納的自我狀態的誕生。《飛越創傷》不只貢獻這個領域，也為靈魂在面對即使最具殺傷力的創傷時所展現的回復力，做出經典的研究。 ――James Hollis, Ph.D. 德州休士頓榮格學派心理分析師暨作家 以超凡的方式綜合創傷在心靈中引發的各個面向，烏蘇拉沃爾茲著實提供讀者一條「超越」苦難以獲得智慧的路徑；其一生的經驗被編織成一條藉由內心與靈魂組成的啟示織錦。作者透過在創傷領域的大膽探索，反思在二十一世紀中逐漸浮現的工作範式已將科學與靈性置入緊密的連結。任何曾被創傷碰觸的人，都會從這本書得到深切的助益。 ――Joe Cambray, Ph.D. 國際分析心理學協會前任主席 在這部充滿洞察的作品，烏蘇拉沃爾茲要我們在處理失落與創傷時，將榮格的《紅書》當作一本地圖或一個樣板。如果你在尋找創傷臨床治療與復原的相關指引，或是尋找修復你自己的一份引導，你將在這本書裡發現一座蘊藏豐富的寶庫。 ――Polly Young-Eisendrath, Ph.D. The Resilient Spirit: Transforming Suffering into Insight and Renewal 與Subject to Change: Jung, Gender and Subjectivity in Psychoanalysis作者 這部深感人心的著作，對榮格學派在此領域的研究做出卓著貢獻。沃爾茲博士具有傲人的本領，將創傷在靈性、原型與臨床各層面上順利做出整合。針對創傷的轉化潛能，以及苦難產生的意義，她那具有智慧的思考令人鼓舞。這本書是在此領域工作的心理治療師們必讀的作品。 ――Lionel Corbett, M.D. Pacifica Graduate Institute核心教員 Psyche and the Sacred, The Sacred Cauldron, 以及The Religion Function of the Psyche作者

打破400年來醫界對疼痛的片面理解完整傳授連醫學院也沒告訴醫師的疼痛管理新方法全人角度多管齊下，幫你找回無痛生活那些殺不死你的，只會令你更抓狂！吃藥沒有效、成因找不到，為什麼慢性疼痛治不好？你不知道的是，疼痛，比你想得更複雜……「決定成敗的，不是目標，而是系統。」──詹姆斯‧克利爾，《原子習慣》作者▍實踐出真知，英國疼痛醫學權威的解痛新招！據統計，全世界逾15億人患有無法診斷的疼痛，終日為慢性疼痛所苦。由世界衛生組織頒行、2022年正式生效的《國際疾病分類第十一版》（ICD-11），首次將慢性疼痛獨立視為一種症狀，顯見其已成為不容忽視的全球健康問題。擁有20年疼痛醫療臨床經驗的拉文德蘭醫師，將他的專業轉化為這本開創性的指南。他在書中指出，每個人的疼痛症狀都是獨特且個人化的，需要以整體、全面的方式看待慢性疼痛，並將心理健康與身體健康同時考慮在內。他提供了7大方法多管齊下的方式，幫助讀者有效克服慢性疼痛問題：☆藥物Medication☆介入措施Intervention☆神經科學與壓力管理Neuroscience and stress management☆飲食／營養Diet/nutrition☆睡眠Sleep☆運動與動作Exercise and movement☆身心療法Therapies of the mind and body▍英美高達96%的醫學院，沒有疼痛專門必修課程！根據紐西蘭公衛學者研究，全球各大洲383所醫學院，在歐洲有近80%、英美高達96%的醫學院，沒有疼痛相關的專門必修課程；許多學校傳授給醫學生的疼痛觀念，仍停留在數十年前的研究結果，延續著400年前笛卡兒時代所流傳下來的疼痛迷思，以為疼痛必然出於某個身體結構的問題，而疼痛的信號會沿著預定的痛覺神經傳到大腦，由腦部某一區域來做處理。於是乎，傳統上對於疼痛的處理方式，就只剩下阻斷神經訊號的藥物，以及無止盡的手術（介入措施）。最新研究已經指出，疼痛訊號的傳遞並非經由單一路徑，大腦中許多部位也都會參與痛覺的處理；很多時候，疼痛也並非是身體結構的問題。面對難纏的慢性疼痛，我們不能再頭痛醫頭、腳痛醫腳，而是需要一套新的觀念、新的方法。▍寫給每一個「痛痛人」的疼痛管理完全指南！本書挑戰了現代醫學的當前方法與傳統的身心二元思維，帶給讀者手術與鴉片類止痛藥物以外的替代方案，以及可幫助每位慢性疼痛患者發展「無痛思維」的

賴純純1953年出生於臺北，開明的父母從小就讓她有自主的空間，中學時期因美術方面的突出表現，再加上父親的鼓勵，之後考入中國文化大學美術系就讀。就讀期間，廖繼春老師在繪畫色彩上的觀念及掌握，讓賴純純領會了色彩本身，即可成為表現主體的可能。畢業後赴日進修，取得日本東京多摩美術大學藝術學院碩士，1981年又轉往美國紐約普拉特版畫中心學習。在美期間，畫布邊緣轉折給予她空間層次表現的啟發，繼而開始單色色面並置、幾何雕塑的色彩實驗，探索繪畫邊緣的可能性。1985年開始投入立體創作，以透明壓克力板、木材及顏料等媒介，進行低限、構成、材質等觀念的探討，「存在與變化」系列尤為其要。在這個時期，她參與春之藝廊「超度空間」的展覽，其創作觀將空間視為一種反應時間變化的實體，自此亦成為1980年代臺灣現代藝術發展的健將。1986年獲得第２屆中華民國現代雕塑展首獎，抽象造型的裝置作品敘說其關於時間與空間的省思，同年成立SOCA現代藝術工作室（Studio of Contemporary Art），聚焦於「空間、色彩、結構、自然」等創作理念的深化探究，以活動、教學、觀念研習為方法，促進國內藝術拓展及國際藝術交流，是臺灣「替代空間」的先聲。賴純純除了在臺灣活動，也前往世界各地駐村創作，以1990年代的「心」系列為代表，逐漸強調出東方哲思與傳統的關聯。賴純純的創作除了一貫的造形關懷，更將來自生活的圖像導入作品，並發起臺灣女性藝術家協會，關心女性在藝術體制中的處境。1990年代晚期開始投身於公共藝術創作，落腳臺東，持續創作至今。綜觀賴純純的創作精神，始終指向生命存在的哲思，並透過造形藝術的語言傳達。「存在與變化」這一命題，也成為貫穿她四十餘年來創作的核心。

With the stroke of a pen, the president of the United States can proclaim a national monument. The Antiquities Act of 1906 was enacted to provide an expedited means to protect areas of natural or cultural significance. Since then, 16 presidents have used the Act to preserve some of America' most treasured public lands and waters. In 2017, an unprecedented executive order was issued questioning these designations by calling for the review of 27 national monuments across 11 states and two oceans, opening the threat of development to vulnerable and irreplaceable natural resources. Our National Monuments, the first book of its kind, introduces these spectacular and unique landscapes. From the north woods of Maine to the cactus-filled deserts of Arizona, America's national monuments include vast lands rivaling the national parks in beauty, diversity, and historical heritage. These critically important landscapes are often under the radar, with limited visitor information available, yet offe
