Lo que fue de ella
by Gayle FormanNarrada desde el punto de vista de Adam, Lo que fue de ella retoma los personajes de Si decido quedarme, el bestseller internacional de Gayle Forman que describe con asombroso realismo el turbulento horizonte emocional de una adolescente que logra recuperarse de una situación límite. Han pasado tres años desde que Mía, tras el trágico accidente, dejó su ciudad natal en la Costa Oeste para iniciar su nueva vida en Juilliard, el prestigioso conservatorio de Nueva York. Y también tres años desde que abandonó a Adam sin darle explicaciones. La idea de perder a Mía supuso para Adam un auténtico tormento, que cristalizó en un puñado de desgarradas canciones que los catapultaron a él y su banda, los Shooting Star, a la fama. Ahora, convertido en una estrella de rock, con una novia famosa y acosado continuamente por fans y periodistas, Adam vive sumido en un estado de permanente hastío y confusión. Hasta que una noche, en Nueva York, su camino vuelve a cruzarse con el de Mía, convertida ya en la excepcional chelista que prometía ser. El inesperado encuentro se prolongará hasta el amanecer y les brindará la ocasión de abordar lo que ocurrió realmente en el pasado y lo que el futuro podría depararles. Reseñas:«Como en Si decido quedarme, Forman relata una historia sobrecogedora que capta de forma muy creíble la profunda madurez y la intensidad que pueden existir en un amor adolescente, así como las infinitas maneras en que el dolor traspasa nuestras vidas.»Booklist «A pesar de que la historia de Adam y Mía está comprimida en un período de veinticuatro horas, ambos personajes cobran vida, y la dolorosa historia personal y situación actual de ambos aportan una profundidad que atrapa completamente al lector.»Kirkus Reviews «Gayle Forman continúa la historia narrada en Si decido quedarme con un relato que tiene tanta o más fuerza.»Publishers Weekly «Los fans de la excepcional novela anterior no podrán dejar este libro.»School Library Journal

by Dr. José AbellánUn enfoque integrativo de la salud, con el corazón en el centro, para prevenir las enfermedades y mejorar nuestra calidad de vida.

Esta es la raíz de muchas enfermedades, en especial las cardiovasculares, que, según la OMS, están detrás de una de cada tres muertes en el mundo y representan la mayor amenaza para nuestra salud.

Si aprendes a prevenir, no tendrán que curarte. Los expertos opinan:«José ha escrito un libro maravilloso. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti encierra mucho: por qué se produce la enfermedad y, a partir de ahí, cómo debemos alimentarnos, cómo debemos entrenar, cómo debemos sincronizarnos con el planeta y cómo debemos cuidarnos a nosotros y cuidar a los demás. Sácale jugo, aprende y disfrútalo». JORDI CRUZ, chef seis estrellas Michelin «El doctor Abellán defiende la alimentación y su poder antiinflamatorio como base para la prevención de enfermedades; en su libro desmiente de forma sencilla los principales mitos de la alimentación y su efecto en la salud cardiovascular».BLANCA GARCÍA-OREA, nutricionista, autora de Dime qué comes y te diré qué bacterias tienes «El doctor Abellán consigue transmitir los fundamentos que explican por qué el ejercicio físico y la alimentación son vitales para la salud de tu corazón.

Un libro asequible y claro para mejorar tu salud plena».ISMAEL GALANCHO, nutricionista, autor de Quema tu dieta«En este libro, el doctor Abellán transmite, con un lenguaje muy sencillo y directo, lo importante que es para el corazón sincronizar tus relojes internos con los ciclos del planeta. Con su lectura aprenderás que la salud se trabaja y se gana día a día, y entenderás por qué descansar adecuadamente es uno de los pilares de una vida sana».JUAN ANTONIO MADRID, investigador experto en cronobiología, autor de Cronobiología. Una guía para descubrir tu reloj biológico «En esta época de confrontación, el doctor Abellán muestra de manera muy clara la importancia de cuidarnos, mimar nuestras relaciones con los demás y huir del estrés crónico para gozar de buena salud. Lo que tu corazón espera de ti es, en cierto modo, una delicada manera de tomar consciencia».Coronel PEDRO BAÑOS, especialista en geoestrategia y defensa, autor de Así se domina el mundo

Locke’s Ideas of Mind and Body (Routledge Studies in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy)
by Han-Kyul KimThis book begins with a survey of various readings of Locke as a materialist, as a substance dualist, and as a property dualist, and demonstrates that these inconsistent interpretations result from a general failure of modern commentators to notice the significance of Locke’s ‘mind-body nominalism’. By illuminating this largely overlooked aspect of Locke’s philosophy, this book reveals a common mistake of previous interpretations: that of treating what Locke conceives to be ‘nominal’ as real. The nominal symmetry that Locke posits between mind and body is distinct from any form of metaphysical dualism, whether substance dualism or property dualism. It is a brand of naturalism, but does not insist that the material is ontologically more basic than the mental or that the former determines the latter. On this view, the material and the mental both relate solely to a certain set of functional roles, rather than to an intrinsic property that plays these roles. The term ‘matter’ is thus rendered vague, and materialism is conceived as a precariously grounded ontological doctrine. Elaborating on this interpretation of Locke’s Essay, this book examines the insightful readings of Locke developed by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thinkers such as Richard Burthogge, William Carroll, and Joseph Priestley. This book also seeks to clarify what Locke’s position would look like in a modern setting by noting some significant parallels with the ideas of leading contemporary philosophers such as Donald Davidson, David Lewis, and Colin McGinn.
Logic, Everyday Discourse, and Metaphysics (UNIPA Springer Series)
by Gianni RigamontiThis book applies the formal discipline of logic to everyday discourse. It offers a new analysis of the notion of individual, suggesting that this notion is linguistic, not ontological, and that anything denoted by a proper name in a well-functioning language game is an individual. It further posits that everyday discourse is non-compositional, i.e., its complex expressions are not just the result of putting simpler ones together but react on the latter, modifying their meaning through feedback. The book theorizes that in everyday discourse, there is no algebra of truth values, but the latter can be both input and output of something which has no truth value at all. It suggests that an elementary proposition of everyday discourse (defined as having exactly one predicate) can, in principle, be indefinitely expanded by adding new components, belonging neither to subject nor to predicate, but remain elementary. This book is of interest to logicians and philosophers of language.
Logic, Syntax, and a Structural View: The Psychology of Trump's Hall of Mirrors
by Harwood FisherThis book presents a new structural approach to the psychology of the person, inspired by Kenneth Colby’s computer-generated simulation, PARRY. The simulation was of a paranoid psychological state, represented in forms of the person's logic and syntax, as these would be evidenced in personal communication. Harwood Fisher uses a Structural View to highlight similarities in the logical form of the linguistic representations of Donald Trump, his avid followers (“Trumpers”), and the paranoid—referred to as “The Trio.” He demonstrates how the Structural View forms a series of logical and schematic patterns, similar to the way that content analysis can bring forth associations meanings, and concepts held in the text. Such comparisons, Fisher argues, can be used to shed light on contingencies for presenting, representing, and judging truth. Specifically, Fisher posits that the major syntactic and logical patterns that were used to produce the computer-generated “paranoid” responses in Colby’s project can be used to analyze Donald Trump’s rhetoric and his followers’ reactions to it. Ultimately, Fisher offers a new kind of structural approach for the philosophy of psychology. This novel work will appeal to students and scholars of social and cognitive psychology, psychology of personality, psychiatric classification, psycholinguistics, rhetoric, and computer science.

Loneliness and Its Opposite: Sex, Disability, and the Ethics of Engagement
by Don Kulick Jens RydströmFew people these days would oppose making the public realm of space, social services and jobs accessible to women and men with disabilities. But what about access to the private realm of desire and sexuality? How can one also facilitate access to that, in ways that respect the integrity of disabled adults, and also of those people who work with and care for them?Loneliness and Its Opposite documents how two countries generally imagined to be progressive engage with these questions in very different ways. Denmark and Sweden are both liberal welfare states, but they diverge dramatically when it comes to sexuality and disability. In Denmark, the erotic lives of people with disabilities are acknowledged and facilitated. In Sweden, they are denied and blocked. Why do these differences exist, and how do both facilitation and hindrance play out in practice?Loneliness and Its Opposite charts complex boundaries between private and public, love and sex, work and intimacy, and affection and abuse. It shows how providing disabled adults with access to sexual lives is not just crucial for a life with dignity. It is an issue of fundamental social justice with far reaching consequences for everyone.

Lonely at the Top: The High Cost of Men's Success
by Thomas Joiner“An important and insightful book about the vulnerability of aging men to isolation and loneliness.” ―Marianne Legato, MD, author of Why Men Die FirstMen appear to enjoy many advantages in society—on average they make more money, have more power, and enjoy a greater degree of social freedom than women. But many men pay a high price for the pursuit of success and power. Taking family and friends for granted, men will often let relationships take a back seat to their professional ambitions, only to ultimately find themselves with few real friends they can rely on in hard times. As a result, they turn to affairs, alcohol, and other self-destructive behaviors. Sadly, millions of men suffer untreated depression.In this groundbreaking and provocative book, award-winning clinical psychologist Thomas Joiner makes an impassioned call for society to recognize the harmful effects that solitude can have on men. Drawing on original research done for the National Institute of Mental Health, he focuses on the particular situations that leave men rudderless. He offers advice on support systems that are most useful to men, and he offers prescriptive advice on how men can improve their lives.“An effective exploration of why many men succumb to loneliness and the ways to assuage the condition.” ―Kirkus Reviews
Lonely, Sad and Angry: A Parent's Guide to Depression in Children and Adolescents
by Sam Goldstein Barbara D. Ingersoll[from inside flaps] "All children experience occasional feelings of loneliness, sadness, and anger. However, when these feelings are so strong and so prolonged that they appear to overwhelm the child, the possibility of childhood depression must be considered. In LONELY, SAD AND ANGRY Ingersoll and Goldstein define depression in straightforward terms and explain how to tell whether a child or adolescent is depressed. They discuss the causes of depression and examine treatment options with an eye toward helping parents decide which treatment, or combination of treatments--medical, psychological, and environmental--might be most beneficial to a depressed youngster. Detailed information is provided about what parents and teachers can do to help depressed children at home, in school, and in the community. Finally, the authors look to the future and offer some ideas about what lies ahead. BARBARA D. INGERSOLL has devoted twenty-five years to treating children with psychological problems and counseling their families. She is the clinical director of Montgomery Child and Family Health Services in Bethesda, Maryland, where she lives. She is the author of the bestselling Your Hyperactive Child and, with Sam Goldstein, of Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disabilities. SAM GOLDSTEIN is a clinical instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He also works in private practice and is the author of four other books on children with psychological problems. This is his second book with Dr. Ingersoll."
