A practical guide to Somatic Resilience What if the key to feeling safer, stronger, and more at ease was already inside you? In Why Your Body Speaks and How to Listen, somatic psychotherapist Gregory James offers a practical, science-informed roadmap for understanding the body’s responses to trauma, stress, and anxiety. Supported by established principles of neuroscience and the emerging field of body-based trauma therapy, this book explores how your nervous system holds the story of your life, and how tuning into it can change everything. Whether you live with anxiety, chronic stress, or the lingering effects of trauma, this book shows you how to work with your body rather than against it. You’ll learn: How to recognise signs of nervous system dysregulation How to understand the physiology behind your stress responses How trauma lives in the body and shapes your reactions How to cultivate safety, awareness, and presence in your body How to expand your capacity to handle life’s challenges How to restore agency, connection, and emotional wellbeing through simple practices Through clear explanations, relatable stories from the therapy room, and easy-to-use exercises that build progressively from chapter to chapter, this book introduces the concept of somatic resilience—your body’s natural ability to adapt and restore balance in the face of overwhelm. If you struggle with anxiety, carry the weight of past trauma, or simply feel overwhelmed by modern life, this guide offers a grounded, accessible path forward. Written for curious, everyday readers, it is a powerful invitation to understand your body’s signals, trust its wisdom, and move toward a more connected, resilient life.

Design and implement a rehab program on your own with Pathology and Intervention in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 2nd Edition. Part of Magee's popular Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Series, this pathology text for physical therapists provides clear guidance on patient management relative to specific musculoskeletal pathology, injury, and illness - all based on a sound understanding of basic science and principles of practice. It focuses on the specific pathologies most often seen in the clinic, and discusses the best methods for intervention for the different areas of the body in the context of the tissue-healing model. Each intervention features a rationale, along with the pathology and problem presented; stage of healing; evidence in the literature; and clinical reasoning considerations. Dedicated and focused information on the specific pathologies most often seen in the clinic, as well as the best methods for intervention for the different areas of the body, minimizes duplication of information by referring you to other titles in the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Series for basic scientific information regarding inflammation, healing, tissue deformation, and the development of muscular strength and endurance. Trusted experts in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, along with internationally recognized contributors, present the best evidence behind contemporary interventions directed toward the treatment of the impairments and functional limitations associated with acute, chronic, and congenital musculoskeletal conditions occurring across the lifespan. Evidence-based content, with over 4,000 references, supports the scientific principles for rehabilitation interventions, providing the best evidence for the management of musculoskeletal pathology and injury.

In just half a century, Taiwan transformed from an agricultural colony into an economic power, spurred by efforts of the authoritarian Republic of China government in land reform, farmers associations, and improved crop varieties. Yet overlooked is how Taiwan brought these practices to the developing world. In the Global Vanguard elucidates the history and impact of the “Taiwan model” of agrarian development by incorporating how Taiwanese experts took the country’s agrarian success and exported it throughout rural communities across Africa and Southeast Asia. Driven by the global Cold War and challenges to the Republic of China’s legitimacy, Taiwanese agricultural technicians and scientists shared their practices, which they claimed were better suited for poor, tropical societies in the developing world. These development missions, James Lin argues, were projected in Taiwan as proof of the ruling government’s modernity and technical prowess and were crucial to how the state sought to hold onto its contested position in the international system and its rule by martial law at home.
