Levinson, a professor of psychiatry at New York University Medical School, claims to "have discovered that the inner ear is responsible for phobic behavior.'' He argues that such behavior consists of sensory misprocessing triggered by concussion, mononucleosis, prolonged air travel, menopause, and similar physiologically destabilizing factors. Treatment can be limited to medications for motion sickness. Levinson's style may be overly insistent, but he gives his controversial work a clear and convincing format that includes case histories and definitions of symptoms. His advice on obtaining proper diagnosis and treatment is particularly welcome. For subject collections. William Abrams, Portland State Univ. Lib., Ore. -Library Journal.

In my book, which consists of intertwined philosophical stories on the theme of freedom, I examine the dilemmas of freedom by a dialogue with venerable thinkers such as Marx, Rousseau, Plato, Hobbes, Foucault, Hegel, Levinas, Butler, Kant and Derrida. My book is ideal for making an introduction to the philosophy of freedom through literature, as well as filling a niche in the genre of philosophical novels, which are also possible to read for the sheer literary pleasure. However, this is not a philosophy text book; it is pure fiction that displays people struggling with unfreedom. My novel also embodies the idea of death and love by unifying the traces of these five stories in the form of a river novel, to the limitation of our freedom and indeed to the importance of freedom within these limits; our freedom begins with love, which is the hope of reaching out to others, and ends with death, the ultimate limit. All the protagonists in the book are actually my masks and my Kafkaesque style hides this idea only to reveal it in the end. The book also touches upon many side themes, such as the body, and the law, in sci-fi settings. In today’s society, where I believe that freedom, domination and totalitarian society contains many debates about our current life, these discussions must be held by protecting the philosophical tradition and my novel has a crucial value for today by making philosophy accessible to everyone. This book has been the culmination of my belief that philosophy is for everyone and is actually literature.

We have been brought up to see things in a particular way—to interpret our experience and respond to events, people, and even to God in cultural and personal ways. This has given us a frame of reference that undergirds all else we know, trust, and love in life, as well as all we question, distrust, and hate. But this foundation is not without its cracks. We live in a broken world, and it has influenced us more than we know. Various Christians give us advice, but we often find ourselves stuck in the emotional pain of past experiences. We may not realize how much it controls our thinking, and we wonder why we are unable to experience the freedom and peace Jesus talks about. But things are not always what they seem; we need to see them as they are, not as other influences have shaped them. It is time we let God speak for himself on the matter. This book turns our minds to trust and freedom in our walk with God. It leads us to know God's grace, providence, and purposes in a way that changes our lives and experiences in this broken world from this day on.

A Circle is a Balloon and Compass Both is a collection of stories about love, the most elusive and problematic of all phenomena. With a mix of traditional, literary prose and bold–some might even say irresponsible–experimentation, Ben Greenman explores the ins and outs of modern romance. Expect tears, nudity, and recrimination. From the half-hearted summer affair between a part-time bartender and a married doctor in a Miami hotel to the cryptic pseudo-erotic love letters to a friend who is “more than a friend,” we experience the love of pop songs, the love of cohabitation in Chicago, and love that is so transporting it takes us to the moon–literally. “Like Green Day did for punk rock, and The Matrix for kung-fu flicks, this new collection from New Yorker editor Greenman could well become an advocate for the short story with those who haven’t been interested in the form. Amusing, palatable . . . it’s precisely the sort of thing that can gain a new audience for a genre.” Time Out Chicago “A smart, tightly structured collection . . . playful, wryly comical.” The Brooklyn Rail “Seriously funny.” San Francisco Chronicle “Wildly inventive, sometimes surreal, but tenderly told, these stories give a glimpse of what Phillip K. Dick might have written if he’d allowed himself a sincere broken heart.” Paste Magazine

In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

Jay Porter Takes on the Brutality of Small-town Political Power and Insatiable Greed At an AA meeting, handyman and part-time investigator Jay Porter meets a recovering addict who needs his help. In the midst of another grueling northern New Hampshire winter, Amy Lupus' younger sister, Emily, has gone missing from the Coos County Center, the newly opened rehab run by Jay's old nemeses, Adam and Michael Lombardi. As Jay begins looking into Emily's disappearance, he finds that all who knew Emily swear that she's never used drugs. She's a straight shooter and an intern at a newspaper investigating the Center and the horrendous secret hidden in it—or beneath it. When Jay learns of a "missing" hard drive, he is flung back to five years ago when his own junkie brother, Chris, found a hard drive belonging to Lombardi Construction. For years Jay assumed that the much-sought-after hard drive contained incriminating photos of Adam and Michael's father, which contributed to Chris' death. But now he believes the hard drive harbored a secret far more sinister, which the missing Lupus sister may have unwittingly discovered. The deeper Jay digs, the more poisoned the ground gets, and the two cases become one, yielding a toxic truth with local fallout—and far-reaching ramifications. Perfect for Fans of Dennis Lehane While all of the novels in the Jay Porter Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: Lamentation December Boys Give Up the Dead Broken Ground Rag and Bone
