A escritora morta
by Núria AñóAnna é uma escritora de idade mediana que criou sua filha sozinha. Na atualidade, Berta cresceu e as dúvidas que teria sobre conhecer seu pai, a quem só havia visto em uma fotografia, aumentam quando a relação que mantém com seu namorado entra em crise. Hans trabalha em uma fábrica e tem uma irmã, Clara, uma jovem incompreendida que vive obcecada por um tipo que dirige uma moto amarela. É porém, antes de tudo, a história de Anna Flieder, que quando opta por escrever um livro de estilo mais biográfico, a inspiração a visita e toma a forma daquele homem a quem abandonou há anos. “Na história se observa o processo de criação da literatura […] É uma obra dirigida a quem gosta de ler e se deixa absorver pela leitura, porque deixa muita imaginação, e há muitas coisas que se intuem.” -La Mañana “A escritora morta é, portanto, um convite para aqueles que apreciam a maneira com que a Literatura reflete sobre si mesma em uma obra literária. Mas também representa a oportunidade de acompanhar personagens com sentimentos e em situações que nos provoca uma inevitável identificação. [...] O deleite de um texto literário que prima por uma linguagem metafórica e que sugere imagens capazes de revelar cenas cotidianas, mas que, muitas vezes, a vida, preenchida por múltiplas possibilidades, não nos permite enxergar.” -Dra. Alexandra Santos Pinheiro, Resonancias literarias, no. 153 “Este livro conta a história da escritora Anna, do seu mundo e das pessoas que a rodeiam. Anna vive a sua vida literária como se fosse a sua vida real, sofre um tipo de esquizofrenia quando os personagens de seus livros confrontam suas vidas no seu desejo de ver a luz.” -Debbie Garrick, Tradutora “A escritora morta, uma obra que apresenta não apenas a qualidade do seu trabalho como autora, como também o manuseio da fer
A for Adoption: An Exploration of the Adoption Experience for Families and Professionals (Tavistock Clinic Series)
by Alison RoyThe experience of adoption—both adopting and being adopted—can stir up deep emotional pain, often related to loss and early trauma. A for Adoption provides insight and support to those families and individuals facing these complex processes and challenges. Drawing on both a psychoanalytic, theoretical framework and first-hand accounts of adopters, adoptees, and professionals within the adoption process, Alison Roy responds to the need for further and consistent support for adoptive parents and children, to help inform and understand the reality of their everyday lives. This book explores both the current and historical context of adoption, as well as its depiction within literature, before addressing issues such as conflict in relationships, the impact of significant trauma and loss, attachment and the importance of early relationships, and contact with birth families. Uniquely, this book addresses the experiences of, and provides support for, both adoptive professionals and families. It focuses on understanding rather than apportioning blame, and responds to a plea from a parent who requested "a book to help me understand my child better".

Agustina tiene un carácter fuerte y una gran debilidad: su hermana Renata, a la que viene notando rarísima. Aunque Agus escucha conversaciones a escondidas, no logra averiguar qué pasa. Lo que sí sabe es que Lalo (el novio de su hermana) la tiene harta, que adora a su perrita Hakuna (que comparte con su mejor amigo Maxi), que confía en su mamá, que su papá parece triste, que admira a su tía Ceci, y que su abuelo necesita más cuidados. Cuando la verdad de lo que se esconde salga a la luz y los golpee a todos, se pondrán a prueba la fortaleza de la familia y la de los amigos. Y ella querrá resolver las cosas a su manera. ¡A la manera de Agustina!

A menjar!: El mètode Estivill per ensenyar els nens a menjar
by Montse Domènech Dr. Eduard EstivillEl mètode del Dr. Estivill per aconseguir que l'hora de menjar dels nens deixi de ser el malson dels pares. «Ja ho he provat tot i no hi ha manera que mengi». Per molts pares, l'hora de menjar dels nens es converteix en un infern. La boca tancada -que no s'obre ni quan traiem totes les joguines, encenem la televisió o disfressem els plats amb la seva salsa preferida- és el nostre pitjor malson. Vist l'èxit del seu mètode per resoldre els problemes de l'insomni infantil, el doctor Eduard Estivill es va preguntar si hi hauria també un mètode que pogués aplicar-se al problema de l'alimentació infantil. Per això va sol·licitar l'ajuda d'una pedagoga, Montse Domènech, i entre els dos varen desenvolupar un mètode senzill, pràctic, amb unes sòlides bases científiques, per ensenyar a menjar bé, i de tot, als nens. Després d'haver-lo posat en pràctica durant tres anys, amb èxit en més del 98% dels casos, s'han decidit a publicar aquest manual tan amè que ajudarà els pares a ensenyar els seus fills a menjar. «La resistència dels nens a menjar és habitual. Forma part del seu esperit de rebel·lia davant allò que se'ls imposa. Però en això consisteix educar-los, oi? Han d'anar aprenent que gairebé tot té un moment i un lloc. I també una manera de fer-se. Per això cal un mètode i un temps d'aprenentatge.»Dr. Eduard Estivill

A+ Parenting: The Surprisingly Fun Guide to Raising Surprisingly Smart Kids
by Eva Moskowitz Eric GrannisEva Moskowitz, founder of the highly lauded Success Academy Charter Schools, shares her advice for raising smart, successful, and intellectually engaged children. Eva Moskowitz has built a national reputation as the founder and leader of Success Academy Charter Schools, one of the country’s most highly regarded networks of schools, but while most people know Eva for her success in educating 20,000 mainly low-income students who are routinely accepted to our nation’s best universities, she has also been responsible for raising three children of her own. In A+ Parenting, Eva shares what she has learned both as a parent and an educator about raising children to be enthusiastic and successful learners.Eva’s most important message is that parents can and should play a critical role in their children’s intellectual development. Each year, children only spend about 180 days in school; how they spend the remaining 185 days is up to their parents. Children who continue to learn when they are out of school will make far more progress than those who don’t, but parents need not attempt to recreate school at home. Instead, they can encourage their children to engage in fun activities that will have a huge impact on their creativity, intellectual curiosity, and attention span. A+ Parenting is every parent’s must-have guide to enriching every aspect of a child’s life, from the morning carpool to the soccer field to the dinner table—without having to hire tutors or carve out more hours in the day. Moskowitz explains how to take the time you’re already spending with your children and make it more fulfilling and intellectually stimulating for them. The book is full of practical guidance such as:Which extracurricular activities are best for a child’s development.How children can learn by watching movies and playing games—and why you should reach for chess or Monopoly over checkers or Candyland.How to help your child overcome a learning disability and ensure it doesn’t undermine their self-confidence.Why getting angry at children doesn’t work but expressing disappointment does.In addition to advice, this book is filled with carefully curated lists of educational activities, including games to play, movies to watch, puzzles to solve, books to read, music to listen to, and experiments to perform. These activities, supported with love and joy, are all parents need to turn their children into lifelong learners.
