It Can Happen Here. And the Texas Border Crisis is just the beginning. The Declaration predicted this twelve years ago!. The Declaration was written as fiction, but it is quickly becoming fact. Read what happens next. When Governor Brewster Steele sees the Constitution being torn to shreds, an exploding national debt spelling certain financial ruin, and the country sinking into the morass of social decay, he vows to not let his beloved Texas go down with it, no matter the risk. An assassin's bullet, an attack on a Chief Justice, cyber-slander, and overt defiance of Washington set the wheels in motion in a spellbinding race through what might be the revolution some Americans fear while others pray for. In the tradition of Sinclair Lewis and Allen Drury, nationally best selling author William Hirsch has created The Declaration, a hauntingly powerful novel that dares to ask the question: when government goes too far, what must citizens do? Democracy and freedom require constant vigilance, now more than ever. In The Declaration, discover what happens when a President sees himself as above the law...and a nation tries to free itself from his unrighteous grasp on the levers of power.It's not just a novel. It's a warning of what could happen...and sooner than we think.

""Genie und Entartung"" ist ein Buch des deutschen Psychiaters und Neurologen William Hirsch, das 1894 ver������ffentlicht wurde. In diesem Werk besch�����ftigt sich Hirsch mit der Frage, ob kreative Genies und k�����nstlerische Talente eine besondere psychische Struktur haben, die sie von ""normalen"" Menschen unterscheidet. Dabei geht er auch auf die Frage ein, ob diese Struktur m������glicherweise mit einer Veranlagung zur Entartung einhergeht.Hirsch untersucht in seinem Buch zahlreiche Beispiele von Genies und K�����nstlern wie Goethe, Beethoven oder van Gogh und analysiert ihre Pers������nlichkeitsmerkmale und ihre k�����nstlerischen Werke. Dabei kommt er zu dem Schluss, dass es tats�����chlich eine spezielle psychische Struktur gibt, die viele Genies und K�����nstler gemeinsam haben. Diese Struktur �����u�����ert sich unter anderem in einer erh������hten Sensibilit�����t, Intensit�����t und Emotionalit�����t.Allerdings warnt Hirsch auch vor den Gefahren, die mit dieser besonderen psychischen Struktur einhergehen k������nnen. Er betont, dass viele Genies und K�����nstler in der Geschichte an psychischen Erkrankungen gelitten haben und dass es eine Verbindung zwischen kreativem Genie und Entartung geben kann.Insgesamt ist ""Genie und Entartung"" ein einflussreiches Buch, das bis heute in der Diskussion um die Beziehung zwischen Kreativit�����t und psychischer Gesundheit eine wichtige Rolle spielt.This Book Is In German.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This book deals with the Psychology of Genius and the relation between Genius and Insanity. "The psychological analysis of famous poets will show that the intellectual function is no whit less important a factor of poetic genius than fancy itself, although the latter is the one immediately employed in the act of composition. We have seen that creative fancy works with the material which former impressions of sense have left behind as their remains or residua. The more comprehensive the knowledge of the poet, therefore, and the more he is in condition to assimilate and compact the impressions the world conveys to him, and the sounder and truer his judgments of persons and situations, and the more methodical his thought and the better his memory, by so much the more will his fancy display luxuriance, and so much more various will be his creations. Another psychical phenomenon, besides fancy and intellectual function, surprises us in famous poets-to wit, a refinement of the feelings, heart, and moods. We often find these qualities developed in great poets to a point we can scarcely imagine. Another trait remarkable in famous poets is an instinctive and invincible impulse to express the ideas and feelings within them. In consequence of this impulse, the work of genius is not a voluntary labor, but the "involuntary product of a psychical need. It is not a hankering after applause and success, nor a regard for his other interests, which induces the man of genius to perform his task. It is solely a passion to give shape and form to the idea that exists in his fancy. The true poet does not versify because he would, but because he must. The comparison of traits applied to a considerable number of typical "men of genius" leads to the conclusion that the word does not express any one psychological concept, and that nobody has succeeded in giving a pregnant definition of the quality or is likely to do so. As insanity is equally indefinable, and it is impossible to draw a sharp line between mental sanity and mental derangement, it may seem useless to attempt to compare two such indefinite quantities; still, the comparison may possibly enrich our knowledge and lead us toward a recognition of the truth..."
