    We Are All the Bereaved of Suicide Victims
    The impact of an individual’s suicide on the people around them and society as a whole is much wider and greater than we think. If we limit the range to immediate family, the number of bereaved is only five or six, but if the range is expanded, the number of people affected by one person’s suicide covers much larger numbers of people, including relatives, friends, colleagues, and those indirectly affected or exposed. In that sense, we are all ‘the bereaved of suicide victims.’ We are just poor at dealing with death. Some people turn away because they don’t know how to comfort the bereaved family, and some people try to give advice and end up saying rude words that only hurt the bereaved. In particular, when a celebrity commits suicide, it becomes a scandal, as there are indiscriminate speculations over what caused the suicide and news that digs into the family’s private lives. The author Koh Seon Gyu, who worked as the deputy director of the Korea Psychological Autopsy Center for three years from 2014 to 2017, is an expert on suicide issues and developed a psychological autopsy interview protocol that analyzes the pre-death circumstances of suicide and speculates cause. He meets with the families of suicide victims across the country to give counseling and leads a self-help meeting with the bereaved. Based on countless cases encountered in the field, the author calmly introduces the journey that ‘the bereaved of suicide victims’ must cross to fully remember and mourn the deceased, and the attitude that our society should take when dealing with them. Mourning is a natural and necessary process for those left behind. This book will provide a reliable guide to the journey to miss and mourn the deceased.

    Studying the History of Democracy 1, 2
    All the most important events in Korean Democratization in one book A series about the history of the Korean Democracy Movement with Professor Hongkoo Han In 2020, marking the 60th anniversary of the April 19 Revolution and the 40th anniversary of the May 18 Democratic Movement, author and famous scholar on modern Korean history Han Hongkoo has decided to publish a history of the Korean Democracy Movement for the masses. The first book of this two-part series deals with the April 19 Revolution and the May 18 Democratic Movement, the most important events in the history of Korean democratization. Mixing unique and easy-to-understand explanations with deep insights into the meaning of contemporary events, this book is particularly suited for uninitiated readers wanting to know more about the history of the Korean Democracy Movement. It utilizes archival photographs to convey a vivid sense of realism and contains supplementary materials for deeper study. Oddly, there have been few educational books that have cover the foundation of the April 19 Revolution and the May 18 Democratic Movement. Most books on the subject are academic research books published by organizations affiliated with the democratization movement and academic researchers, or books on modern Korean history that only introduce the democracy movement in passing. But these publications are either too heavy for ordinary readers or lacking in depth. After this book, which is starts with the April 19 and May 18 democratic movements, Han Hongkoo plans to continue informing the public of the history of Korean democratization through his next book in the series which deals with the April 3rd Movement and the June Labor Movement.

    With the mind of an academic, the eyes of an administrator, and the heart of a citizen The record of a life spent looking at North Korea “There are many experts on North Korea, but when it comes to experts who are also great leaders, there is only one.” This is the sort of praise that has followed Jeong Se-hyun during his illustrious forty-year career at the forefront of North and South relations.

In particular, this book highlights Jeong’s role during the nuclear crisis of the 90s as the Blue House’s Secretary of Unification and his role as Minister of Unification at the six-party talks during the 2000s. Through this book, Jeong, who is still active in inter-Korean affairs, offers strong yet flexible guidelines for how to live under the current system of division. Though titled as a memoir, this book does not linger on the past; instead, it explains what we can learn from previous experiences and looks at the situation in which we find ourselves currently, making readers think about the future. At a time when the need to open a new era of North-South relations is imminent, the wisdom of a man who has spent a lifetime in contact with North Korea is more important than ever.

    Immunology for Kids – Infectious Diseases, Vaccines, and Antibiotics
    For parents worried about the immune health of their children Everything about your child’s immune system, as taught by a doctor and mother of three This book is for parents with children who get sick often—a book for parents who look at their children and wonder, “Does my child have a weak immune system? Should I be giving my child something to help them?” Despite the fact many parents try to feed their children red ginseng, herbal medicines, probiotics, and dietary supplements, or try other untested methods to boost their children’s immune systems, most parents actually know very little about the immune system. Ji-young Park is a doctor, a mother of three, and a medical spokeswoman who addresses the questions and concerns of patients, parents, and even other medical workers. Focusing on the topics of infectious diseases, vaccines, and antibiotics, Park explains through this book everything a good parent needs to know about the immune system. From what happens when our children get sick, to what the signs of a good immune system are, to what “Allergic March” is and how it progresses with age, to how to use antibiotics wisely and why everyone should get vaccinated—Ji-young Park uses her vast experience from working in the field as a family medicine doctor to explain everything that parents need to know. What happens to my child’s body when they get sick? The principle of immunity and how to foster a healthy immune system for your child Unlike what they show on health food advertisements, the immune system is not a barrier off which germs and virus bounce. Our bodies’ immune system works in complicated and intricate ways to defend us, finding and expelling the foreign invaders that constantly enter our bodies. It’s thanks to our immune systems that our children are able to recover from sicknesses so quickly. In Chapter 2 and 3, Park explains in detail the principle of immunity and how to foster a strong immune system for our children.
