BiographyBefore the publication of The Big Book, alcoholism in America was viewed largely as it had been in the 19th century. [22] The temperance movements of the 19th century and the recent experiment with Prohibition focused on the individual, promoted by "degenerationism, the theory that biological factors, toxic environmental influences or moral vices may trigger a cascade of social, moral and medical problems". This theory was a holdover from the pre-Darwinian belief that offspring inherited acquired character traits from their parents, although this is now well evidenced in the scientific literature. The increase in scientific knowledge in the early 20th century led to questions about this view of alcoholics, but the view still dominated for the first 30 years of the century. A decisive turn toward seeing alcoholism as a disease was the publication of The Big Book and the founding of A.A. [22] See also [ edit ] The Big Book of the Blue is a visually appealing information book that triumphantly showcases ocean life in all its splendour, from sharks to sea snakes to flying fish. Veľká kniha o morských tvoroch je fascinujúca kniha o morskom svete. Jej ilustrátor Yuval Zommer sa vo svojej tvorbe rád inšpiruje rôznymi živočíchmi a tak vznikla séria pekných detských kníh, každá zameraná na iné tvory. Why do octopuses have eight arms? Why do crabs run sideways? Are jellyfish made of jelly? Yuval Zommer's beautiful new book provides the answers to these and many more fishy questions. His wonderfully quirky illustrations show off all kinds of slippery, shimmery and surprising sea creatures, including sea turtles, whales, sharks, rays and seahorses.

Mom: It is like a crown, it's called a coronet. I like sea turtles because I think they are beautiful, and I think it is neat how they lay their eggs. And I also like seahorses. I think they're cute. The book contends that it is impossible for an alcoholic to quit drinking by oneself. A new attitude or set of values also would not help. Whosoever is an alcoholic must admit that they cannot help themselves alone. Only a "higher power" and the community can help. An example of a man named Fred is given, who had no control over his drinking, but finally leads an "infinitely more satisfying life" than before thanks to the previously unexplained principles of AA. In the introduction to the Big Book, William Duncan Silkworth, M.D., a specialist in the treatment of alcoholism, endorses the AA program after treating Bill W., the founder of AA, and other apparently hopeless alcoholics who then regained their health by joining the AA fellowship. "For most cases," Silkworth claimed, "there is no other solution" than a spiritual solution. Today "many doctors and psychiatrists" confirm the effects of AA.

[18] Veľká kniha o morských tvoroch je, ako už samotný názov napovedá, o živočíchoch žijúcich v moriach a oceánoch. Nájdete v nej ryby a drsnokožce, mäkkýše, kôrovce, plazy a cicavce aj s ich hlavnými charakteristikami. Vedeli ste napríklad, že medúzy nemajú mozog, krv, uši ani srdce? A že taká chobotnica má srdcia až tri? Deti istotne prekvapí, že nafukovacie ryby - štvorzubce, obľúbení hrdinovia animovaných rozprávok, sú najjedovatejšími rybami na svete, alebo že taký mečiar dokáže svojim špicom na hlave prepichnúť dokonca lodnú palubu.
