Putting It All Together
Authors: Balkin Richard S. , Winburn Amanda , Schmit Erika L. , Mendoza Samantha M 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention when working with youth in school and community settings. The author emphasizes the importance of developing positive mental health through expanding services, promoting prevention activities, and the addition of intervention in mental health disorders. The chapter provides an overview of risk and protective factors as well as characteristics of successful programs and interventions. Despite knowing what successful programs do, the multifaceted nature of youth problems requires complex solutions. Hence, change occurs slowly and in small increments. A key to creating lasting change for youth lies in collaboration across systems. Universities are uniquely suited to provide leadership in this area due to their resources and personnel who have the skills to develop creative and scholarly programs and pursue collaborative partnerships and external funding opportunities.
Creative Health for Pianists
Authors: de Alcantara Pedro 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Creative Health for Pianists is a practical method for musicians of all abilities. It proposes a new way of thinking about the piano, emphasizing your frame of mind and your innate capacity to respond creatively to a musical and technical stimulus. Short musical snippets that encapsulate one or more aspects of piano playing are thoroughly presented and explained, then developed through tweaks, variations, and compositions of ever-increasing complexity. Musical materials are designed to give you space and time to think about how you want to play the piano. Sound, vibration, touch, and phrasing can then become integrated into a healthy totality. Every chapter contains materials suited to a complete beginner. Paradoxically, the same materials may be helpful to accomplished pianists interested in a new entry point into the labyrinth of music. The method is supported by a dedicated website with forty-eight pedagogical clips. All materials are original, and presented here for the first time.
The Way of War
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Chapter 7 looks at major events in the early career of Shegui, also known as Emperor Daowu, the first monarch of Northern Wei (r. 386–409): how beginning in 386—barely past boyhood—he reconstructed and profoundly reorganized his family’s enterprise, which had in the previous decade collapsed under the force of invasion and the death of his grandfather, Shiyijian; how with development of his cavalry army and the ability to feed it, Shegui became a threat to a *Taghbach (Ch. Tuoba) rival, the Murong, another *Serbi (Ch. Xianbei) dynasty that had taken the Yellow River plains; and how the Khaghan led a dramatic defense against concerted Murong attacks on the *Taghbach heartland. At chapter end, discussion will turn to how in 396 Shegui turned the tables, leading his army of horsemen down onto the Yellow River plains to oust the Murong from the territories they had won not long before.
The Wolf Lord
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
As described in Chapter 12, the Wei emperor Taiwu (r. 426–451)—known among his men by the Inner Asian appellation Böri Beg, or “Wolf Lord”—led these troops forth to complete the conquests of the territories in and around the Yellow River plains. Over several decades the holdouts—mainly polities of Tibetan or Inner Asian origin—were one by one destroyed. At that point, the Wolf Lord led an army said—no doubt with hyperbole—to have numbered 1 million men south to confront his last major rival in East Asia, the rich, Yangtze-based empire of Jiankang. In the winter of 451 he arrived on the north bank of the river, where from a great tent perched up on a hill he could look across it at his enemies’ capital. But the effort went no further; the Wei monarch then pulled up his tent stakes to return to Pingcheng. And there he would soon after meet his own end.
Downfall of a Theatre State
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In the last chapter, we see the fall of Northern Wei. The essential issue here was separation of the court from the military, the most significant part of which remained up in the frontier highlands, in the Six Garrisons. After decades of power struggle within the court, Empress Dowager Ling, Madam Hu (d. 528), emerged to control it as regent for her son (forced suicide of the heir’s mother having finally ended). Things went well at first. Drawing on the vast tax wealth brought in from the farming population through Equal Fields, the empress dowager helped build a Buddhist paradise in the new capital of Luoyang. In 523, however, the Six Garrisons collapsed, many of the men rising in mutiny. Abandoning their frontier posts, the troops began to pour down into the Chinese interior. Five years later, one of the leaders of those mutineers and refugees, Erzhu Rong, came to Luoyang. Calling Empress Dowager Ling up to his camp on the Yellow River, he listened impatiently to her words, then had her thrown into the waters to drown.
Summing Up; Looking Ahead
Authors: Pearce Scott 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This concluding chapter recapitulates the two underlying issues encountered in the study of the empire of the *Taghbach (Ch. Tuoba). The first such issue is that Northern Wei was the first major example of a new kind of empire in East Asia, the “conquest dynasty,” regimes of Inner Asian origin that took control of territories inhabited for the most part by Chinese. This would be repeated again and again for the next 1,500 years. The second is historiographical: that this dynasty was renamed and reimagined to fit into the Chinese textual tradition, and in this way is presented in the texts that are our only received written sources for the dynasty’s history. The main purpose of this book is, however, to see the people who created this dynasty in and of themselves, to the extent that this is possible within the limitations of our historical sources. Thus this chapter also briefly summarizes the story of the *Taghbach, beginning with emergence of the khaghan Liwei on the Inner Asian frontier in the mid-third century, and ending with the drowning of Madam Hu in the Yellow River, almost 300 years later. In this process, they changed their name and nature repeatedly. What remained consistent, however, was that their power rested ultimately on cavalry armies, filled with loyal men of Inner Asian origin. When that had ended, the dynasty ended as well.
I Have Many Sick Hearts
Authors: Brockmeier Jens , Medved Maria I. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
We live in cultural worlds abounding with stories of health and sickness and many shades in between. This chapter makes the case that it often is difficult, if not impossible, to clearly distinguish between illness narratives and narratives that tell how illness is interwoven with life and its challenges. Whatever else illness is, it is always interwoven with people’s personal experiences, evaluations, and emotions. It is endowed with meaning and sense making that cannot be distinguished from the significance illness has within a given culture. Drawing on resources from narrative psychology, narrative medicine, cultural psychology, cultural anthropology, and critical health studies, the authors elaborate this point in studying the stories told to them in interviews with Canadian Indigenous women who, living on reserve, suffer from heart disease. In particular they look at one multilayered narrative that gives a drastic example of the well-known cultural hybridity of life lived on indigenous reserve within a settler culture.
What Constitutes Mad Behavior?
Authors: Karlén Malin Hildebrand 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The history of psychiatric diagnoses is characterized by both stability and change: stability, since some social behaviors are continuously included in symptoms of psychiatric diagnoses, and change, since others vary in such diagnostic inclusion and are only sometimes perceived as signs of madness. In the beginning of the nineteenth century, a medical framework replaced the Christian view of madness in Sweden, as in many other European countries. In the present chapter, social behaviors incorporated in diagnoses in 1821 are compared to those incorporated in diagnoses used in 1980 (DSM-III), exemplifying the changing emphasis among the biopsychosocial perspectives used to explain and understand mental disorders. These patterns of stability and change are considered within the grand narrative of mental disorders through diagnoses. The author discusses the practical implications of these changes over time, focusing especially on addictive behaviors and sexuality. Reasons for such stability and changes are discussed, as well as potential ramifications for psychiatric praxis today.
How to Narrate a Healthy Life
Authors: Hatavara Mari 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter follows findings in narrative medicine studies, where a need for a shift of focus from story content to the act and context of storytelling has been identified. For mental well-being, ways of storytelling seem more important than the “what” of the story. This chapter proposes an interdisciplinary combination of literary studies inspired by the narratological analysis of discursive voice and the investigation of narrative positioning, which originates in psychology. The analysis of interviews of two elderly persons focuses on how the narrators discursively and evaluatively relate their narrating self to their former self and what kind of positionings they use in their life storying. The two examples showcase two very different ways of narrating. Most importantly, the analysis of the different ways the storytellers narrate their lives points towards very different conclusions concerning the mental well-being of the two interviewees than what might be expected from the content of the interviews.
Memory Is a Strange Thing
Authors: Singer Christoph 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter reads the science-fiction film Arrival (2016) by Denis Villeneuve as a trauma narrative and shows how it foregrounds some of the pitfalls inherent in telling and listening to trauma narratives. The film can be said to subvert normative notions of what a narrative is and can be. This chapter addresses how Arrival and “Story of Your Life” (1998), Ted Chiang’s short story on which the film is based, represent and communicate the trauma of child loss by creating a sense of nonlinearity in a linear medium. The film defamiliarizes and deconstructs key elements of narrative such as genre, plot structures, causality, and chronology. The focus is therefore on the connection between temporality and trauma. More importantly, this particular focus highlights various, often implicit, readerly expectations when it comes to approaching narrative texts in general.
Prophecy, Madness, and Holy War in Early Modern Europe
Authors: Penman Leigh T.I. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This book documents the political and religious turmoil of seventeenth century Europe by exploring the life and doctrines of the German barber-surgeon turned prophet, Ludwig Friedrich Gifftheil (1595–1661). Inspired by family tragedy and theosophical religious writings, between 1624 and 1661 Gifftheil stalked Europe’s battlefields, petitioning kings, princes, and emperors to end the warfare endemic on the continent. Convinced that all conflict was prompted by ‘false prophets’—by which Gifftheil meant the clergy of Europe’s Christian confessions—he pleaded with rulers to abjure the counsel of their advisors and institute instead a godly peace. When this approach proved fruitless, Gifftheil reinvented himself by taking up his sword as ‘God’s warrior.’ Thereby he embarked on a quest to recruit an army of the righteous to wage holy war and establish peace with the blade of his sword. This work examines the growth and fallout of Gifftheil’s mission and its reception among Europe’s religious dissenters—including figures such as Abraham von Franckenberg and Quirinus Kuhlmann—as well as the results of his strivings in European political circles. Gifftheil’s story reveals an alternative transnational history of religious and political dissent in the seventeenth century. It casts new light on the place of prophecy and madness in the negotiation of religious authority, the origins of the theosophical current, and the stranger apocalyptic impulses at the roots of Pietism and missionary Christianity.
An Unknown Prophet
Authors: Penman Leigh T.I. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces Gifftheil and his story by means of his transformational encounter with Lucas Osiander in a Tübingen church in 1634, which establishes that Gifftheil’s story is rooted not only in the religious wars of the period, but also in the history of his own family. After contextualizing the study in recent literature on lay prophecy, the European theosophical current (especially the work of Antoine Faivre), and the history of madness, it evaluates the relative merits of approaches to biographical history. A survey of the existing historiography concerning Gifftheil is provided, which demonstrates that the prevailing view has been church historical, and many of the preconceptions about him have been in error. By contrast, the present work returns to the copious printed and manuscript sources, located in libraries across the world, to construct a focussed biographical study of Gifftheil.
The End of Days
Authors: Penman Leigh T.I. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the final phase of Gifftheil’s life, which he lived out mostly in Amsterdam, and poses the question: with most of Europe at peace, what place was there for a warrior sent by God? In Amsterdam, Gifftheil collected books and practiced medicine. After the outbreak of the Anglo-Dutch war in 1652, Gifftheil believed his prophecies had been confirmed, but his increasing militarism alienated more followers, like Christian Hoburg. In 1655 a series of accidents left Gifftheil near crippled, putting an end to his ambitions to lead a holy army. Nevertheless, his standard was carried forward by several new arrivals in Amsterdam, most especially Friedrich Breckling. The circumstances of Gifftheil’s final trip to England in 1659 and 1660 are related, during which he warned England against the Restoration, as well as his decline into old age and irrelevance in Amsterdam.
The Historical and Legal Context of Pay Communication
Authors: Bamberger Peter 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter begins with a historical analysis of the role of information asymmetry in employment relations in general and compensation and benefits specifically. The analysis explores how rewards management has changed over the decades and how these changes provide a framework for understanding the recent emergence of pay communication as a critical issue in employment relations. The chapter uses this historical backdrop to identify some of the factors underlying the emergence of pay communication and employee pay knowledge as critical aspects of rewards management, as well as the recent surge of regulatory action aimed at promoting the adoption of more transparent pay practices in many countries throughout the world. The chapter concludes with a review of these legislative efforts and a discussion of some of the main types of regulatory interventions that have recently been adopted or that are under current consideration.
Societal-Level Implications of Pay Transparency
Authors: Bamberger Peter 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Regulatory efforts aimed at encouraging pay transparency and facilitating employee knowledge ultimately strive to achieve broad social goals such as reducing information asymmetries and barriers to labor mobility and addressing gender and racial pay disparities. The focus of this chapter is therefore on the degree to which broad-scale pay transparency interventions achieve such goals. In addition, the chapter examines the potential unintended negative consequences that such interventions may have on societal-level outcomes. Specifically, after first presenting a quick review of the various regulatory initiatives adopted by governments throughout the world, this chapter reviews the evidence regarding the impact of such interventions on four main sets of outcomes, namely the gender pay gap, labor productivity, inequality, and employee well-being.
The Bioethics of Space Exploration
Authors: Szocik Konrad 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Human exploration of space contains many ethical challenges. Future long-term space missions will generate specific problems and place new demands on humanity. One of them is the concept of human enhancement, primarily through gene editing, for the implementation of long-term space missions. This book hypothesizes that large-scale application of human enhancement may be necessary to enable space exploration and exploitation. The book discusses the many arguments for and against human genetic modification for space missions. It also considers the most controversial type of modification, germline gene editing, and presents many arguments in favor of applying even radical and considered controversial forms of human enhancements today. The book shows that the environment of future space missions is a unique and different ethical environment from Earth’s and requires a modified bioethical approach. The bioethics of space missions should be syncretic, issue-driven, and highly dependent on the purpose of space missions. The book points out the importance of discussing future scenarios of human development. Space bioethics is presented as part of futures studies. The book considers futures of humanity in space that are possible, probable, preferable, but also dystopian. The aim of these considerations is to prevent the development of these worst-case scenarios. The book suggests that we should look to the development of biomedicine with greater optimism and hope. Human enhancement via gene editing for space missions is presented as a pragmatic tool rooted in the principle of well-being.
Is the Bioethics of Space Missions Different from Bioethics on Earth?
Authors: Szocik Konrad 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Space bioethics is different from bioethics related to biomedical problems considered on Earth. This chapter examines the areas and contexts that account for these differences. One of the differences is a different understanding of human enhancement, primarily in terms of its purpose and justification. The space mission environment is a new and different moral ecology from Earth’s. The space mission environment challenges some of the moral principles and rules, such as the principle of autonomy and the rule of informed consent, but at the same time places stronger demands on the application of other principles, such as the principle of beneficence, among others. Space bioethics resembles military ethics in many respects, but there are also important differences. The most important is that military ethics is focused on decisions concerning life and death. It seems that the differences between space bioethics and bioethics concerning earthly problems are quantitative rather than qualitative, and the main challenge remains the ability to appropriately weigh methods and balance principles and rules.
Moral Bioenhancement in Long-Term Space Missions
Authors: Szocik Konrad 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses perhaps the most controversial form of human enhancement due to target and goal of modification, moral bioenhancement. Moral bioenhancement is considered something almost forbidden, as well as by many critics to be superfluous, leaving aside the possibility of its medical feasibility. This chapter shows why arguments critical of moral bioenhancement often lack justification. It also shows that the specifics of long-term space missions introduce a particularly strong justification for considering the concept of moral bioenhancement. The chapter discusses bioethical challenges around the applicability of moral bioenhancement to scientific, commercial, and space colonization missions. It points out that moral bioenhancement can only be applied in specific circumstances and only for a mission understood as space colonization. It emphasizes, however, that the main difficulties in applying moral bioenhancement are logistical rather than moral, but that ignoring these logistical challenges can lead to serious moral problems.
Space Bioethics, Population Ethics, and Space Colonization
Authors: Szocik Konrad 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The concept of space colonization is often considered in the context of an argument for saving humanity from total extinction. As such, it is therefore the type of space mission that receives the strongest moral justification. However, it is worth considering whether, somewhat paradoxically, it is worth undertaking such an extraordinary task. This chapter considers possible scenarios in which saving humanity through space colonization has no special justification. This chapter discusses the risk known in population ethics as the repugnant conclusion, as well as the life barely worth living, which may justify the assumptions of antinatalist philosophy. This chapter points out that ultimately, the idea of space colonization understood as saving our species can hardly be defended, but it requires guaranteeing a high enough quality of life in space, which may require applying a program of universal human enhancement, including GGE.
Epilogue: The World Empires Made
Authors: Suh Chris 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The Epilogue examines how the end of World War II precipitated global decolonization, yet the United States continued to maintain its hierarchical relationship with Asia during the Cold War. It explains that, after defeating Japan, the United States emerged as the supreme power in the Pacific by combining counterinsurgency campaigns to suppress radical nationalists with various measures to secure Asian elites as allies in their war against communism. Progressive Era American policies had a lasting influence. The Cold War “modernization” and “nation-building” projects in anti-communist Asian countries were in effect extensions of “civilizing missions.” The Cold War repeal of exclusionary immigration laws legislated against Asians did not exactly signal the end of anti-Asian racism. Rather, it demonstrated that the US government was willing to admit a small number of nonwhite immigrants if they arrived from its geopolitical partner, just as it did during the Progressive Era.
