1. Bad Hookup

|||
|
Hookups weren’t for her. Rachel knew that. She was a good girl— sigh —she’d always been a good girl. Except when it came to him . She’d met the him in question in a bar of all places and his lean strength, gorgeous face, and way-too-charming personality had combined to shatter her defenses. All of a sudden she’d been doing all of those “dangerous, bad girl” things her grandmother had once warned her of. And just like her grandma had predicted, he’d vanished come morning. No note. No exchanged numbers. She hadn’t even known his name. Fine. Whatever. Rachel had chalked it up to a horrible—albeit, wholly pleasurable—mistake and moved on. She was the assistant to Heather O’Keith, a kick ass, take-no-prisoners CEO of a billion dollar corporation, she didn’t have time to sit around and worry over a man. But then Heather had gotten her happily ever after by marrying equally successful business entrepreneur, Clay Steele, and Rachel discovered that she had to work in close, day-to-day contact with him. Sebastian Henley. The man from the bar. The sexy, gorgeous, irresistible disappearing man from the bar. And he still made her want to do bad, bad things. |

He’s the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don’t give girls like me a second glance.

But resisting his easy charm and surfer-boy hotness is darn near impossible. Though I’m realizing there’s much more to Conor’s story than his fan club can see.

16. Hiding in Plain Sight
|
|||
|
New York Times bestselling author Sarah Kendzior documents the truth about the calculated rise to power of Donald Trump since the 1980s and how the erosion of our liberties made an American demagogue possible. The story of Donald Trump’s rise to power is the story of a buried American history – buried because people in power liked it that way. It was visible without being seen, influential without being named, ubiquitous without being overt. Sarah Kendzior’s Hiding in Plain Sight pulls back the veil on a history spanning decades, a history of an American autocrat in the making. In doing so, she reveals the inherent fragility of American democracy – how our continual loss of freedom, the rise of consolidated corruption, and the secrets behind a burgeoning autocratic United States have been hiding in plain sight for decades. In Kendzior’s signature and celebrated style, she expertly outlines Trump’s meteoric rise from the 1980s until today, interlinking key moments of his life with the degradation of the American political system and the continual erosion of our civil liberties by foreign powers. Kendzior also offers a never-before-seen look at her lifelong tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time – living in New York through 9/11 and in St. Louis during the Ferguson uprising, and researching media and authoritarianism when Trump emerged using the same tactics as the post-Soviet dictatorships she had long studied. It is a terrible feeling to sense a threat coming, but it is worse when we let apathy, doubt, and fear prevent us from preparing ourselves. Hiding in Plain Sight confronts the injustice we have too long ignored because the truth is the only way forward. |

27. Testamente
|

|
Är man ansvarig för sin familjs synder? Kan man egentligen göra något för att förändra historien? Kanske kan man helt enkelt skriva om den? När Annie blir gravid åker hon motvilligt hem till platsen där hon växte upp. Bondgården ligger i Tornedalen, med sitt egna språk, sitt eget meänkieli. Inte svenska, inte finska, något tredje, eget. Ingen blir särskilt glad över att se henne. Det här är nämligen en familj som hukar under den mörka hemligheten. Dessutom består den av två föräldrar och tolv barn (eller fjorton beroende på hur man räknar) som aldrig någonsin dragit jämt. Där är raggaren, den duktige äldste sonen, kåkfararen, den homosexuelle sonen som skiter i vad folk i trakten tycker. Och Annie som är på smällen. Och modern som bestämt sig för att något måste hända. Och alla de andra. Och, sist men inte minst, fadern som bär på familjens mörka hemlighet. Eller snarare: fadern som är familjens mörka hemlighet. Nu är uppgörelsens tid. Snart kommer inget att vara som förut. Testamente är en familjeroman som inte liknar något annat. Lite som om Thomas Vinterbergs film Festen släppts ner i ett Jonathan Safran Foerskt universum. |
28. Föda utan rädsla
|
|||
|
Allt fler kvinnor upplever en stark rädsla inför sin förlossning. Samtidigt är den svenska förlossningsvården säkrare än någonsin för både mor och barn. Susanna Heli har arbetat med att ge födande kvinnor kraft och stöd under hundratals förlossningar. Här har hon valt ut sina fyra mest effektiva verktyg som hjälper dig att undvika stress och rädsla. Med andning, avspänning, rösten och tankens kraft leds du bort från rädsla och mot trygghet och kraft. Verktygen är enkla och kan användas under födandets alla skeden. De gör förlossningen till en stärkande och positiv upplevelse både för den födande kvinnan och för hennes partner. Föda utan rädsla passar dig oavsett om du är förstföderska eller omföderska, om du väljer att ha bedövning eller föda helt utan smärtlindring, om du är mycket rädd eller bara vill vara förberedd. Kvinnor som läst boken inför sin förlossning: ”Jag känner mig styrkt och lugn av bokens budskap och ser fram emot att föda mitt barn.” ”Verktygen var så användbara och det var inte massor att komma ihåg eller tänka på. Och de var ännu mer användbara allt eftersom värk-förloppet fortskred.” ”Det var jättehäftigt att känna hur rädslan bara försvann.” ”Instruktionerna till min man var suveräna och de var precis så tydliga och informativa att jag kände mig trygg och så att han förstod vilken skillnad hans hjälp gjorde.” |
29. Stora döden
|
|||
|
Vinnare av Augustpriset i fackboksklassen 2000 Fortfarande ryser vi inför ordet digerdöden. Och det är inte konstigt med tanke på dess härjningar. Den medeltida pestepidemin slukade proportionellt sett fler människoliv än någon annan historisk katastrof. Digerdöden är förvisso inget kärt barn men har ändå många namn: svarta döden, svarta pesten, bråddöden och mannadöden. För 1300-talets människor, bedövade av epidemins omfattning, var den helt enkelt "stora döden". Dick Harrisons mäktiga krönika tar oss med på en kuslig färd i digerdödens fotspår åren 1347-1352. Hur påverkades samhället av pesten? Fanns det en koppling till senmedeltidens bondeuppror? Varför utsågt just judar till syndabockar? Hur förändrades arkitektur, konst och litteratur? Vilka mediciner föreskrev de lärde och vilka botemedel använde vanligt folk? En genomarbetad och gripande beskrivning av pesten i Europa. Allt ifrån dess ursprung och spridning till dess sociala och ekonomiska konsekvenser. |

Det namn som dras i lottningen i distrikt tolv är Primrose Everdeen, och Katniss ser ingen annan utväg än att själv ta Prims plats i spelen... Suzanne Collins har skrivit en gastkramande framtidsroman om liv och död. men det är lika mycket en roman om vår tids television – som är grym, rå, falsk och egentligen bara handlar om en sak – tittarsiffror. |

34. Arranged
|

|
“I didn’t read this book, I devoured it.  Arranged marriage is one of my favorite tropes and RK Lilley completely blew it out of the water.   Arranged is angsty, sexy, and heartbreaking.   Immediately adding it to my future re-read list.  Banks is my new favorite alpha bully” Claire Conteras, New York Times Bestelling Author "Fatally beautiful. Gut-tightening intensity. Off the charts sexual chemistry and a love story unlike any other. You will devour this tale by RK Lilley and only want more." ~Audrey Carlan, #1 NYT Bestselling Author  There were rules in the cash-for-beauty game.  The money held the power.  The beauty followed the rules and jumped through the hoops. THE BRIDE I knew what everyone would think if they knew the truth about my marriage. They'd be shocked and appalled.  And rightly so. I was a young, modern, independent woman, and I'd done the unthinkable.   I'd sold my virginity to a spoiled, rich boy.  To a stranger who didn’t love me.     And yes, I'd done it all for money. THE GROOM My bride was as gorgeous as she was unwelcome. As desirable as she was unwanted.   I wanted nothing to do with her, but that didn’t seem to matter exactly the second she got close enough to touch.   I wanted her to hate me more than she loved the millions she’d sold herself for.  I wanted to spurn her, but unfortunately, I wanted to f*ck her more. ARRANGED is a standalone erotic romance. |

36. All My Loving
|

|
It’s mud season in Vermont, and things are getting dirty…  Landon Abbott and his identical twin brother, Lucas, always shared everything—until they laid eyes on Amanda Pressley and both wanted something only one of them could have. All it took was her pretty little mouth uttering the words “prostate massager” during a sales pitch at his family’s Green Mountain Country Store in Butler, Vermont, to make Landon’s heart stop and other parts of him jump to attention. Unfortunately, his brother felt the same—or at least he did. Now Lucas is head over heels for Dani and her daughter Savannah, and the path is clear for Landon and Amanda. Except that even with her staying with him, nothing is happening, and Landon isn’t sure how to change the status quo. Amanda is making a list and checking it twice. Nearly dying in the fire at the Admiral Butler Inn has left her with tons of regret and a new lust for life. Topping the list of things she wants to do with her second chance are two key items—fall in love and have an orgasm  with a man . The last person she expects to check all her boxes is the world-renowned player named Landon Abbott. She might've made the mistake of saying yes to dates with both brothers once upon a time, but only one of them makes her heart pound. Too bad she can’t figure out how to move off the starting line toward something more than friendship with the ridiculously handsome firefighter.  When she needed a place to stay after the fire, Landon was first in line to offer his home, and now that she’s sleeping in his bed, he’s determined to show Amanda only one Abbott brother is capable of helping her achieve her goals. Things are heating up in Butler this spring as Landon and Amanda find just what they’ve been missing on the road to happily ever after. But like mud season in Vermont, that road is full of potholes as a long-buried secret from Amanda’s past and Landon’s plethora of female admirers threaten their newfound happiness. Return to Butler, Vermont to catch up with the Abbotts, the Colemans and Fred the Moose, and find out if baby Dexter the Moose has found his way inside Hannah’s house yet.  |

38. Existential Psychotherapy
|
|||
|
The definitive account of existential psychotherapy. Existential therapy is practiced throughout the world. But until now, it has lacked a coherent structure. In Existential Psychotherapy , Irvin Yalom finds the essence of existential psychotherapy, synthesizing its historical background, core tenets, and usefulness to the practice. Organized around what Yalom identifies as the four "ultimate concerns of life" -- death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness -- the book takes up the meaning of each existential concern and the type of conflict that springs from our confrontation with each. He shows how these concerns are manifested in personality and psychopathology, and how treatment can be helped by our knowledge of them. Drawing from clinical experience, empirical research, philosophy, and great literature, Yalom provides an intellectual home base for those psychotherapists who have sensed the incompatibility of orthodox theories with their own clinical experience, and opens new doors for empirical research. The fundamental concerns of therapy and the central issues of human existence are woven together here as never before, with intellectual and clinical results that will surprise and enlighten all readers. |

42. Just a Shot Away: 1969 Revisited
|
|||
|
Just A Shot Away:69 Revisited is veteran author-journalist Kris Needs' highly-personal account of 1969 as he experienced it happening; from starting the year as a wide-eyed 14-year-old Rolling Stones/Hendrix nut and turning 15 the day Brian Jones died to becoming part of the UK's longest-running club and befriending its hottest new band. There have been endless books that take a well-researched look at that tumultuous year but few that actually live it in real time. Rather than recycle hoary cliches about Manson and Altamont snuffing the 60s after Woodstock's brief optimism, or any ludicrous rivalry between the Beatles and Stones, Kris remembers the gigs, bands and records that bombarded his own young radar and helped shape his future life as a music writer, DJ and, briefly fan club secretary. With John Peel a lifeline, 1969 was pivotal for Kris, including the births of the legendary Friars Aylesbury rock club, for which he designed the membership card and flyers, Pete Frame's Zigzag magazine, which he later wrote for before becoming editor, and Mott The Hoople, who he befriended after they played his school dance and ended up running their fan club. As a member of the Jimi Hendrix fan club, he witnessed the guitarist in concert, plunging himself in black music and becoming fascinated with the Black Power movement. As a lifelong Stones fan, he saw them early and ended up hanging out with Keith Richards in later years. There was never time to care about the death of a decade in which he was coming alive, let alone any loss of innocence when he couldn't lose his fast enough. With Foreword by his mentor Pete Frame, Kris's 45 year career as a music writer impacts on the narrative time machine fashion, including sessions with Keith Richards, Captain Beefheart, George Clinton and Marianne Faithfull, epic conversations with Ian Hunter, the Doors, the Magic Band, the Fugs, Traffic, Silver Apples, Last Poets, "voice of Woodstock" Chip Monck and many more. Obviously, the book gains perspectives and knowledge from 50 years reading, writing, listening, investigating and living a life the teenage Needs (or anyone else, for that matter!) could never have imagined, some of those leading characters becoming lifelong friends. The book also carries a sad back story as, while Kris was writing it, his beloved partner Helen, who he fell in love with at a Mott The Hoople reunion gig in 2013, succumbed to cancer, his grief inevitably tangible and casting a tragic shadow over the story. Helen's death instilled a greater appreciation of life when it was just getting under way, along with the romantic notion that none of his many experiences can ever compare to finding his true soul mate. Helen's death resulted in Kris moving back to the family home with his 93-year-old mum; now writing in the same bedroom where he experienced 1969 as it unfolded, and still getting told to turn down his Rolling Stones records! Once Kris finished writing the book, it was twice as long as the average music tome so will now come in two volumes, each covering half that year. |

I’ll have to get close. Really close. Close enough to taste him. I seduce him, I jack the ring, and I get away clean. Almost clean… Jack Renshaw traded his family fortune away for a cabin in the woods and an axe in his hands. He’s a real man, one that craves honest work. When I see him in the mountains swinging that axe, I can’t help but notice how right his forearms look gripping that thick, hard wood.  Yeah, he might just be the perfect man. For someone else. His half-brother Aldus is blackmailing me. He’s holding my sister hostage, and the only way to save her is to steal a precious family heirloom from right off Jack’s finger.  It should be easy. Stay calm. Control my feelings. Do what I have to do—and whatever I do—don’t fall for him. I should have known nothing would ever be easy when it came to him. His hands are good for more than swinging an axe, and those calloused fingers feel just right against my skin. I only have to give him one night. It’s not real. I’m just doing what I need to save my sister. I don’t look back, at least not until I realize he’s put a little lumberjack inside of me. This is the third book in the Jacked Series by Melinda Minx. |
58. Who Is Michael Ovitz?
|
|||
|
If you're going to read one book about Hollywood, this is the one. As co-founder of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Michael Ovitz earned a reputation for ruthless negotiation, brilliant strategy and fierce loyalty to his clients. He reinvented the role of the agent and helped shape the careers of hundreds of A-list stars and directors, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep, Sean Connery, Steven Seagal, Bill Murray, Robin Williams and David Letterman. But this personal history is much more than celebrity friendships and bare-knuckled deal-making. It's an underdog's story: How did a kid with no connections work his way into the William Morris mailroom, and become the most powerful person in Hollywood? How did a superagent also become a power in producing, advertising, mergers & acquisitions and modern art? And what were the personal consequences of all those deals? After decades of near-silence in the face of intense controversy, Michael Ovitz is finally telling his whole story in this blistering, unforgettable memoir. |

A lesson he learned when members of his Special Ops team turned dirty, while others, men he considered friends, died. He made them pay. He made them hurt. He put them in jail. And so he doesn't trust anyone anymore. He keeps his women hot and fast, his friends few to none, and his clients through the elite Walker Security at a professional distance, but safe.  It works for him. Until it doesn't. His newest job should be simple and cut and dry. Jewel Carpenter, the daughter of the CEO of Carpenter Enterprises, is receiving death threats. He's to protect her and find out who is issuing the treats. Simple. Cut and Dry. Until it's not. Until the chemistry between he and Jewel is all about love, hate, and sex. But even as he fights the attraction to Jewel and discovers there is more to her than meets the eye, the real threat comes not from the threats she's receiving, but the connection she has to him. Because his past has come full circle, and those men he's made pay for their sins now want him to pay. And what better way than the woman in his bed? |

"Evanovich...with a dash of CSI." - Publishers Weekly Everyone Has a Hidden Talent For Lucky O'Toole it's murder...solving it. Surviving in Sin City takes cunning, a pair of five-inch heels, and a wiseass attitude. Lucky has mastered them all and has a pair of legs she uses to kick butt and turn heads. As the Chief Problem Solver for the Babylon, Las Vegas's most over-the-top destination, mischief is in her job description. She's good at her job. She's less good at life. But who has time for a life when there's a killer on the loose? LUCKY STIFF Someone fed Numbers Neidermeyer to the tiger shark in the tank at Mandalay Bay resort. Lucky's friend, the Beautiful Jeremy Whitlock, is suspect Numero Uno. Miss P, Jeremy's squeeze and Lucky's partner in crime, is in a tailspin. A tractor-trailer full of honeybees jackknifes on the Strip in front of the Babylon, spilling its load.

A light, funny, romantic mystery providing a Vegas escape appropriate for anyone looking for a good laugh. Join the fun! Get your copy today! AN INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH COONTS Why did you decide to write humor? I'm not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky books, specifically to Lucky's own voice, it just happened that way. When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally, I've found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good--or at least in a way not to anger my grandmother. And when Lucky started talking to me, she had a strong dose of sass in her. The Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure series is hard to categorize. Is that by design? When I set out to write Wanna Get Lucky? , I knew I wanted to write a romp through Las Vegas. I had the characters and the setting but no real understanding of narrative drive. So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold. A bit of murder to keep the plot moving, some wisecracking and Vegas mischief to make you laugh, and some romance to keep it interesting. A bit of a mash up, but it works. PRAISE FOR Lucky Stiff “ Lively, funny, scary! The pages will singe your fingers, and you’ll laugh yourself stiff .” - Barbara D’Amato, Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author “ The pages turn so fast they give off blue fire .” - Carol McCleary, author and CrimeFest Award finalist "Las Vegas is the perfect setting for this witty tale of misdirection and larger-than-life characters.

Konrath's Jack Daniels series will love this ." - Library Journal, starred review "Fast-paced, witty, and full of colorful characters, Lucky Stiff is a sure bet to be a readers' favorite ." - Booklist  "A prize fight, a pop star and a virginity auction. Could we be anywhere else but Las Vegas?... [ Lucky Stiff ] is as lively and endearingly wacky as Wanna Get Lucky? " - Kirkus Reviews "This wonderfully funny and entertaining mystery stars Lucky O'Toole, head of customer relations at a Las Vegas resort. Readers who like cozy mysteries with a lot of sass, great dialogue and a plot that flies will love this ." - RT Book Reviews " Deb Coonts' Lucky Stiff is a postcard of Las Vegas like you've never seen it , populated by outrageously imaginative characters embroiled in raucous high-stakes action. Toss in sizzling love affairs, deadly enemies, naughty humor and never-saw-it-coming twists and you've got a winning mystery with a heart of gold . Coonts has a gift for showcasing the darker realms of human nature against a wickedly funny backdrop. Irresistible!

85. Eleanor of Aquitaine
|
|||
|
In The Young Life Mark Richard Beaulieu has revealed the rich world of young Eleanor of Aquitaine (Alienor d'Aquitaine 1124-1204), who would twice become a queen – to Louis as Queen of France, and to Henry as Queen of England. This historical fiction weaves the never told story of Alienor, a girl who doesn’t know she can change the world; yet as a woman she will, in a fundamental way. Freshly told stories of exploration, romance, and hard truth about striving young men and women fill this first volume of an epic series bound to delight readers of every age.  The unusually prosperous Aquitaine is surrounded by envious lords. Wealth affords what is nonexistent in medieval Europe – children are allowed to play, receive education, and experience toleration for faith, art, and science. At the unique Fontevrault Abbey, started by Alienor’s family, men and women live in balance. At the abbey-school girls alongside boys learn the medieval skills of invention, poetic song, falconing, bird messaging, ‘dictonic’ speech, and rational thought. Encouraged to have curious minds, her young friends become attracted to what authorities will oppose: Alienor’s pursuit of a personal code centered on love – not what many commonly understand as love, but her idea and practice of it. She astounds convention. How she comes to terms with the many forces of her age becomes her code, leading her to become one of the most powerful and enigmatic women of the middle ages.  Living in the shadow of a favored younger brother, Alienor adventures into the backwoods and rivers with new friends. She makes the terrible discovery that a friend’s innocent father is thrown into a dungeon for a secret court of inquisition. It is the beginning of her story, and the Aquitaine, indeed the world, will never be the same.  In development fourteen years and based on the latest scholarly research, this story significantly update earlier accounts, and answers how did Eleanor of Aquitaine become herself? She and her young friends come across challenges that many a young person faces and resolves them in original ways – leading to the creation of the Eleanor Code.  Mark Richard Beaulieu is an accomplished author, collected painter, award-winning photographer, and innovative software technologist. He trained as a studio artist and holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California at Davis, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.  December 9 2019 edition. |
86. Golf Yips: Practical Exercises and Mental Routines to Overcome The Yips
|
|||
|
Over the last 10 years or more, the Author, Jonathan Adler, has been helping golfers to overcome their yips. Here he shares his experiences and techniques. "You may be surprised to learn about the true cause of your yips. It is not a mechanical issue. Although it is true to say that when you play your chip shot or your putt, your technique does break down, this is not the cause of the problem. Trying to fix your technique does not address the cause of the problem. It is like removing the leaves of a weed. It may temporarily seem to have cured the problem but unless you get to the root and pull it out, your problems will remain. No, the true cause of your yips is you. Your very own mind has become conditioned to respond in this way when you play your chip or putt. Isn’t this why when you are feeling relaxed, perhaps practicing alone, your yip can be less severe? The way out of the problem lies in the same place. Inside You. You must strengthen and condition your mind to remain calm and concentrated when you play these shots. The exercises and routines in this e-book, if practiced regularly, will do just that, strengthen and condition your mind. If you are patient and persistent you are bound to be successful in overcoming your yips" |

Lockande uppdrag Maya Black har lämnat sin kriminella familj för att skapa ett normalt, ordnat (och faktiskt ganska tråkigt) liv. Men när hon får ett oväntat samtal hemifrån om att hennes familj är hotad – och att bedragarna är på god väg att själva bli svindlade – inser Maya att det är dags att agera. Allt hon behöver är en pojkvän att visa upp. Och den charmige, snygge sydstatskillen Simon Barton som dyker upp så lägligt passar hennes syften perfekt! Men Simon är inte den han utger sig för att vara. Han jobbar för FBI, och Maya är hans biljett för att lyckas infiltrera det kriminella nätverk hennes pappa sägs styra. De har båda hemligheter för varandra, men det som händer mellan dem i sovrummet är garanterat inte fejk ... Sista chansen Okej Liz, läkaren sa alltså att det brådskar om du vill ha barn? Men att gå till en spermabank och inseminera dig, är inte det lite väl drastiskt? Det kan väl inte vara något problem för dig att hitta en lämplig man! Ta Quentin, du kan inte neka till att du länge varit tänd på honom. Och du, Quentin, är det inte dags att sluta försöka dölja hur förtjust du är i Liz?

92. Kontrola współczesności
|
|||
|
Obszerny wybór bogatej międzywojennej publicystyki literacko-społecznej Ireny Krzywickiej na temat kondycji kobiety współczesnej.  Książka została pomyślana jako wydanie popularne, a więc nie obciążone aparatem przypisów i komentarzy, mające na celu udostępnienie tekstów autorki "Wyznań gorszycielki" rozproszonych na łamach czasopism międzywojennych. "Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że Krzywicka obserwowała otaczającą ją rzeczywistość zawsze z perspektywy kobiety świadomej męskiej dominacji na wszystkich niemal poziomach życia publicznego i prywatnego oraz wrażliwej na wiele rodzajów społecznej niesprawiedliwości, można ją nazwać „feministyczną badaczką życia” lub „feministyczną moralistką”. Jako taka właśnie zyskała szacunek ludzi myślących i zatroskanych o kształt współczesnej kultury polskiej, nawet jeśli nie podzielali bez zastrzeżeń jej poglądów." fragment wstępu dr Agaty Zawiszewskiej |

94. A Way of Being
|
|||
|
A Way of Being was written in the early 1980s, near the end of Carl Rogers's career, and serves as a coda to his classic On Becoming a Person. More personal and philosophical than his earlier writings, it traces his professional and personal development and ends with a person-centered prophecy, in which he predicts a future changing in the direction of more humaneness. Now, fifteen years later, the psychiatrist and best-selling author Dr. Irvin Yalom revisits A Way of Being, offering a contemporary view of this remarkable work. |
95. Principles of Intensive Psychotherapy
|
|||
|
“Principles of Intensive Psychotherapy” is a 1960 treatise by German psychiatrist Frieda Fromm-Reichmann. Within it, she looks at the subject of intensive psychotherapy, outlining the methods and reasons behind them with reference to real cases. This volume is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in psychotherapy and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “The Psychiatrist: Personal And Professional Requirements”, “Insight Into The Emotional Aspects Of The Doctor-Patient Relationship”, “The Psychiatrist’s Part In The Doctor-Patient Relationship”, “The Psychiatrist’s Attitude Toward Cultural And Ethical Values In Its Relatedness To The Goals Of Psychotherapy”, “Considerations Of The Psychiatrist In The Establishment Of The Treatment Situation”, etc. Frieda Fromm-Reichmann (1889 – 1957) was a German psychiatrist and contemporary of Sigmund Freud who fled Nazi oppression by emigrating to America during World War II. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. |
96. Constellation Orion
|
|||
|
“Constellation Orion: The Immortal Hunter” is an illustrated e-book created by Warren Manser, and written by Warren Manser with Erik Rakoczy. By weaving mythology with science fiction, the e-book is a re-imagining of the most ancient adventure story in recorded history - the Sumerian "Epic of Gilgamesh”. Before Hercules or Achilles, there was Gilgamesh - The King of Uruk circa 2900 B.C. “The Immortal Hunter” chronicles the epic tale of the restless Sumerian King Gilgamesh and his stout companion Enkidu, who defied the Gods by undertaking an incredible journey to find their hidden temple atop Mount Duranki. Driven by his relentless will, it was there that Gilgamesh sought his long lost ancestor Ziusudra, who held the secret to eternal life. His journey exacted an unbearable toll for defying the Gods, but through wisdom gained our hero eventually found an immortality of a different kind. “The Epic of Gilgamesh”, the creation epic “The Enuma Elish”, and other ancient stories are part of a rich tapestry of mythology from Mesopotamia that have been woven together from writings of the Akkadian and Sumerian cultures. The timeless nature of these stories is evidenced in later Greek Myths and Biblical Tales. The story of the hero’s journey, a determined figure that takes his fate into his own hands, conveys a powerful message of man’s ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It is his unwavering will that shapes his destiny, and allows him to create his own path. The Hero Gilgamesh is just such an Archetype, and perfectly defines a Man who is driven enough to battle the Gods themselves. "Constellation Orion" captures the grandeur of Sumerian mythology by re-imagining it in a way as never before. Inspired by unorthodox theories of man’s creation, “The Immortal Hunter” embraces our ancient alien origins. A full cast of relatable characters, shocking creatures, hidden treasures, and powerful deities further enriches our Gilgamesh’s epic journey. The story's e-book layout maximizes the reader's visual experience on a tablet or other visual e-readers. Stunningly illustrated and creatively written, “Constellation Orion: The Immortal Hunter” is a work that will capture the imagination of those already familiar with Sumerian and Akkadian mythology, and will introduce those unfamiliar with it by drawing them into the splendor of these classic tales. |

100. Resilience Thinking
|
|||
|
Increasingly, cracks are appearing in the capacity of communities, ecosystems, and landscapes to provide the goods and services that sustain our planet's well-being. The response from most quarters has been for "more of the same" that created the situation in the first place: more control, more intensification, and greater efficiency. "Resilience thinking" offers a different way of understanding the world and a new approach to managing resources. It embraces human and natural systems as complex entities continually adapting through cycles of change, and seeks to understand the qualities of a system that must be maintained or enhanced in order to achieve sustainability. It explains why greater efficiency by itself cannot solve resource problems and offers a constructive alternative that opens up options rather than closing them down. In Resilience Thinking, scientist Brian Walker and science writer David Salt present an accessible introduction to the emerging paradigm of resilience. The book arose out of appeals from colleagues in science and industry for a plainly written account of what resilience is all about and how a resilience approach differs from current practices. Rather than complicated theory, the book offers a conceptual overview along with five case studies of resilience thinking in the real world. It is an engaging and important work for anyone interested in managing risk in a complex world. |
