This book bridges the gap between the modern scientific account of alcohol problems and popular perceptions. In particular, it presents detailed evidence that problem drinking is not a disease as many believe but a learned behavioral disorder that should be treated as such. The disease concept of alcoholism, the authors argue, classifies people not behavior patterns, and it directs treatment toward something people "have" rather than something they do. This results in an unnecessarily rigid and complex approach to health care. The behavioral concept on the other hand, while equally compassionate, allows for much more flexible treatment options. The practical implications of this "paradigm change" in thinking are explored, with particular reference to several programs that hold valuable lessons for the health-care community. This revised edition has been updated to include major developments that have taken place within the last five years, with their implications for the future of alcohol treatment. As the first attempt to communicate directly to the general public and students of the subject the most current scientific knowledge concerning alcohol abuse, this work has broad significance for general readers as well as for doctors, alcohol counsellors, health educators and policy makers.

This is the first comprehensive modern atlas of the Peninsular War, the series of campaigns in Spain and Portugal between Napoleonic France and British forces commanded by the Duke of Wellington. Here a distinguished military historian examines and explains the sequence of battles and the course of the war through expertly drawn cartography in color. 
A general introduction, together with a historical summary setting the campaigns in context, is followed by 53 detailed maps and plans, each with a complementary text providing a succinct description of the action depicted. The great battles of Vimeiro, Talavera, Busaco, Albuera, Salamanca, Vitoria, and the Pyrenees are all graphically described, together with the main sieges and many minor combats. This is an indispensable companion to both serious students and military enthusiasts interested in the Napoleonic wars.

Ian Robertson has always been fascinated by how the mind makes images, for that awesome power directly and deeply affects our lives. All of us "visualize" the world differently, and how we do so dictates the way we feel, remember, and think--and therefore our health, memory, and creativity. In this lively, accessible and fascinating book, Robertson explains that most of us employ language as a basis for visualization. In effect, we think in words more than in images. The result is an imbalance between the logical and the intuitive, between imagery-based thought and language-based thought. Opening the Mind's Eye is both an enlightening and stimulating explanation of how we "see," and a compelling argument for extending the mind's powers to improve the quality of our lives. Like Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, it combines insight and application.
