Prime Time. Mis mejores años: Love, Health, Sex, Fitness, Friendship, Spirit - Making The Most Of All Of Your Life
by Jane FondaAprovecha al máximo tu vida. En este libro inspirador y sincero, Jane Fonda, la exitosa actriz y autora, nos brinda una guía para sacar lo mejor de nosotras mismas y de nuestra vida, sobre todo, en su segunda mitad. Prime time cubre todos los temas que necesitas para sentirte joven y feliz: amor, sexo, alimentación, ejercicio, vida espiritual y autoconocimiento, de la A a la Z. Jane Fonda explora cómo a partir de los 50 años, las mujeres pueden seguir siendo enérgicas, amorosas y rodeadas de gente que las aprecia. Un libro con imágenes inspiradoras de los mejores momentos de Jane Fonda, sobre todo, durante su vida adulta. Enfocada en nuevas investigaciones y en experiencias de su vida y la de sus seres queridos, Jane Fonda explora cómo los años críticos en la vida de una mujer -de los 45 a los 50 y, especialmente a partir de los 60- pueden convertirse en una etapa llena de energía, amor y completa, junto a las personas que más queremos. Al hablar de los once ingredientes vitales para llevar una buena vida, Jane Fonda invita a las lectoras a llevar una vida más intuitiva, sana e integrada; una vida más profunda y en contacto con nosotras mismas, con nuestros cuerpos, mentes y espíritus pero de igual forma, con nuestro talento, nuestras amistades y nuestras comunidades. Mientras escribía este libro, Jane Fonda descubrió dos metáforas que se convirtieron en visiones de vida: el arco y la escalera. Jane enseña a las lectoras cómo vivir en un continuo ascenso, como una escalera pero también, cómo entender las décadas tempranas de tu vida a partir de un repaso de nuestra vida, a manera de un arco. El tiempo, dice Jane, es un regalo y este libro es una herramienta para responder a la pregunta, ¿qué hacer con ese regalo que nos da la vida?

Primero, los niños: Memorias de una cirujano desde las fronteras de la medicina pediátrica
by Kurt Newman«Un libro conmovedor para cualquiera que desee comprender las bellezas y los misterios de la salud infantil» WALTER ISAACSON autor de los bestseller Steve Jobs. La biografía y Einstein. Su vida y su universo Cualquiera que haya visto a un niño recuperarse de una herida o de un hueso roto sabe que están hechos para sanar. Y en esta apasionante colección de memorias, el doctor Kurt Newman, líder de la cirugía pediátrica en Estados Unidos, recupera los episodios más extraordinarios de su carrera para mostrarnos la importancia de tratar a los niños como algo más que adultos miniatura. ¿Por qué es importante la atención pediátrica especializada?, ¿cómo pueden contribuir los padres a la recuperación de sus hijos?, ¿qué lecciones debemos aprender sobre la capacidad de sanar de niños y adolescentes? Éstas son algunas de las cuestiones abordadas por el doctor Newman, quien no sólo narra los hitos de la pediatría a lo largo de treinta años de práctica médica, sino que, a través de emotivos relatos y de sus pequeños y heroicos protagonistas, ofrece lecciones de ética profesional y humildad a los futuros profesionales de la medicina. Sin lugar a dudas, Primero, los niños es un libro profundamente humano, capaz de convencernos de que todavía hay mucho que podemos aprender de nuestros niños. «Escribir este libro es una verdadera labor de amor: por la medicina pediátrica, por los valientes niños y sus familias que me inspiran cada día, y por los mentores y amigos que me han guiado a lo largo de mi carrera» DOCTOR KURT NEWMAN
Primo Levi and Ka-Tzetnik: The Map and the Territory
by Yochai AtariaThis book is about Primo Levi and Ka-Tzetnik, both Auschwitz survivors and central figures in the shaping of Holocaust memory, who dedicated their lives to bearing witness and writing about the concentration camps, seeking, in particular, to give voice to those who did not return. The two writers are generally treated as complete opposites: Levi level-headed and self-aware, Ka-Tzetnik caught up in repeating the traumatic past. In this book I show how fundamentally mistaken this approach is, and how the similarity between them is, in fact, far greater than it may seem. While Levi draws the map, Ka-Tzetnik reveals the territory itself, and, taken together, they offer a better understanding of the human experience of the camps. This book explores their writing and their lives up to their deaths—Ka-Tzetnik of old age and Levi by his own hand—offering new explanations of Levi’s suicide, little understood to this day.
Primordial Alchemy & Modern Religion
by Rodney BlackhirstOf all the traditional sciences it is alchemy--based as it is in metallurgy--that is directly concerned with the coming of the industrial order. In alchemical terms, modern man lives in the Ferric Age and his state is best analogized to the properties of the metal iron: hard, cold, unbending, but quick to succumb to corrosion and rust. The great ancient wisdom traditions of the world all anticipated this present age, for it was already implicit in the technological and other changes that brought on the dawn of history. These ancient traditions--dismissed as childish superstitions by the scientist--contain ideas essential to the self-understanding that contemporary man so desperately needs. This is the central contention of the writings brought together in Primordial Alchemy & Modern Religion. Drawing upon many unexpected sources--especially Plato and the ancient Greeks--these wide-ranging, generous essays provide timely reiterations of ancient alchemical traditions and trace some pivotal themes that have continued in the theology and symbolism of the modern religions. This work restores some important keys for the recovery of a lost heritage of primordial wisdom, offering fresh perspectives on aspects of the Western and Islamic alchemical traditions in particular, and at the same time exploring the most distant roots of the modern impasse. There are many hidden treasures to be unearthed in this eclectic collection. From astrology and alchemy to horticulture and architecture, these essays demonstrate Rodney Blackhirst's concern with the reawakening of the scientia sacra. This collection challenges us to understand the symbolic language of these sacred sciences. With this understanding we commence the alchemical transformation that returns us to our primordial state. -- Dr. Tim Smith, editor, Eye of the Heart

Principles and Practice of Grief Counseling
by Darcy L. Harris Howard R. WinokuerThis core, introductory textbook for undergraduate and graduate level courses is the first volume to combine the knowledge and skills of counseling psychology with current theory and research in grief and bereavement. It is grounded in the belief that grief counseling is distinct from other therapeutic issues because grief is an adaptive response rather than a form of pathology. The book describes the unique aspects of grief as a normal response to loss, and views the goal of counseling bereaved individuals as one of facilitating the unfolding of the healthy and adaptive aspects of the process as it manifests itself within each client. Grief is considered a response to losses that are both death- and non-death-related; and psychological, physical, social, economical and practical experiences of grief are addressed. The text introduces various theories of bereavement and examines different therapeutic modalities that can be used in the context of grief and loss. Specific counseling practices that facilitate successful interventions are discussed, particularly that of "presence," considered by the authors to be the primary therapeutic stance when working with bereaved individuals. The text also addresses grief counseling with special populations, ethical issues, and self-care concerns for counselors. Case studies, discussion and reflection questions, and suggested additional resources are included in each chapter.
