Ma deve resistere. Anche quando la tensione sessuale tra loro si fa sempre più intensa e il vampiro ribelle si avvicina pericolosamente, Gabriel si rifiuta di cedere al desiderio. Nonostante la crescente intimità tra loro, teme che, se si rivelasse completamente a Maya, lei reagirebbe come tutte le altre donne prima di lei: scappando via, chiamandolo mostro, abominio, una creatura indegna del suo amore.

Extramural: Literature and Lifelong Learning
by Adrian BarlowMore than a personal account of a career in education, but an argument for an idea, Extramural is an argument for the lifelong pursuit of knowledge and the invaluable part Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education has played in helping people pursue this. Barlow explains how the study of literature - as thoughts expressed in language - is central to education, and utilises his own vast knowledge of literature from Tom Paine and John Ruskin to Alan Bennett and E. M. Forster, to illustrate the depth thatthe study of literature can bring to continuing one's own development. A stimulating and engaging exploration of the world of adult literary education, Barlow offers the reader the chance to gain an insight into a world that depends on the support of those participating.

Élevée par les deux seuls habitants de l'île, elle est livrée à elle-même après leur mort, jusqu'à ce qu'un étranger s'échoue sur le rivage lors d'une tempête. Tess le retire des flots, sans savoir qu'en sauvant le Highlander, elle se sauve elle-même. Si la beauté et le goût de l'aventure sont une malédiction, Colin Macpherson est voué à la ruine. Jusqu'à ce qu'il se retrouve naufragé sur l'île balayée par les vents de Tess, il a parcouru les mers à la recherche de la gloire, de la fortune... et d'une fille différente dans chaque port. Mais la fascination qu'il éprouve pour cette jeune fille au caractère bien trempé va au-delà de sa beauté sauvage, l'intriguant comme aucune autre fille ne l'a jamais fait. Au fur et à mesure que Colin gagne sa confiance, Tess révèle le peu qu'elle sait d'elle-même et de son passé. A partir de ses maigres indices, Colin arrive à une conclusion : il doit ramener Tess sur le continent pour récupérer son droit d'aînesse, même si cela signifie la perdre pour un destin qui ne l'inclut pas.

The Destroyed World and the Guilty Self: A Psychoanalytic Study of Culture and Politics
by David P Levine Matthew H BowkerDavid Levine and Matthew Bowker explore cultural and political trends organized around the conviction that the world we live in is a dangerous place to be, that it is dominated by hate and destruction, and that in it our primary task is to survive by carrying on a life-long struggle against hostile forces. Their method involves the analysis of public fantasies to reveal their hidden meanings. The central fantasy explored is the fantasy of a destroyed world, which appears most commonly in the form of post-apocalyptic and dystopian narratives. Their special concern in the book is with defenses against the painful consequences of the dominance of this fantasy in the inner world, especially defenses involving the use of guilt to assure that something can be done to repair the destroyed world. Topics explored include: the formation of internal fortresses and their projection into the world outside, forms of guilt including bystander guilt and survivor guilt, the loss of and search for home, and manic forms of reparation.

Crowned with Glory and Honor: A Chalcedonian Anthropology (Studies in Historical and Systematic Theology)
by Michael A. WilkinsonJesus defines what it means to be human. The field of theological anthropology is at a standstill, mired in debate between dualist and physicalist perspectives on body and soul. In Crowned with Glory and Honor: A Chalcedonian Anthropology, Michael A. Wilkinson argues that the man Jesus is the way forward. Anthropology should be centered around Jesus. God the Son incarnate is true man, like us in all things except sin. Wilkinson approaches human ontology through Christology by looking to the Chalcedonian Definition and its Christology. Chalcedon confesses the man Jesus to be the divine person of the Son subsisting in a human nature. A Chalcedonian anthropology extends Jesus's person-nature constitution to define what it means to be human. A human being is a human person subsisting in a human nature. We are more than body and soul because Jesus is so much more.
Ahab's House of Horrors: A Historiographic Study of the Military Campaigns of the House of Omri (Studies in Biblical Archaeology, Geography, and History)
by David B. Schreiner Kyle R. GreenwoodReconciling biblical and extrabiblical history The extrabiblical testimony surrounding Israel's early history is difficult to assess and synthesize. But numerous sources emerging from the ninth century BC onward invite direct comparison with the biblical account. In Ahab's House of Horrors: A Historiographic Study of the Military Campaigns of the House of Omri, Kyle R. Greenwood and David B. Schreiner examine the historical records of Israel and its neighbors. While Scripture generally gives a bleak depiction of the Omride dynasty, extrabiblical evidence appears to tell another story. Inscriptions and archeological evidence portray a period of Israelite geopolitical influence and cultural sophistication. Rather than simply rejecting one source over another, Greenwood and Schreiner press beyond polarization. They propose a nuanced synthesis by embracing the complex dynamics of ancient history writing and the historical difficulties that surround the Omri dynasty. Ahab's House of Horrors is an important contribution to the ongoing discussion of biblical historiography and, specifically, to our understanding of 1–2 Kings and the Omri family.

Sino-Vatican Relations: From Denunciation to Dialogue
by Ambrose MongFor those interested in Christianity in China, the state-church relationship, and the present Communist regime and its attitude towards religion, Sino-Vatican Relations offers a wealth of information and insights. This work traces the tortuous history of the relationship between the Chinese government and the Roman Catholic Church, from denunciation of Communism by the Church, to seeking dialogue by recent pontiffs such as John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis. Besides examining the religious policy of China since 1949 and how the Chinese government deals with religious revivals, this work also traces the history of the church regarding the appointment of bishops in Europe from its early days to modern times. Monarchies in Europe have always been involved in the appointment of bishops. Thus, the recent agreement between Pope Francis and the Chinese authorities regarding the appointment of bishops has historical precedents. The overall aim of this work is to help readers to get the right information needed to have a well-informed opinion on the complex matter of the Sino-Vatican Relations, particularly on the agreement signed by Pope Francis with Beijing in 2018.

Funerals: For the Care of Souls (Lexham Ministry Guides)
by Tim PerryDeath will strike your congregation. Are you ready? Are they? Death has become a four-letter word. Whereas in previous generations, the practice of memento mori ("remember death") was embedded in family life, people today have found ways to distance themselves from death. As Western culture becomes increasingly more secular, the Christian understanding of death and the funeral appear more and more strange. Fear of death affects us all, and so pastors have significant hurdles to overcome. What Christians need today is a renewed vision of the traditional Christian funeral liturgy. In Funerals, Tim Perry recovers the rich theology inherent to the Christian funeral: communion with the saints in death, peace in forgiveness, hope in the resurrection, and joy in life eternal. Perry guides pastors through the practice of funerals, from planning the service to preaching the eulogy, and offers wisdom for the hard cases. Perry's Funerals will help pastors disciple their people to see through the valley of the shadow of death and into the hope beyond.
The Educational Role of the Family: A Psychoanalytical Model
by Martha Harris Donald MeltzerThis tract was commissioned from Donald Meltzer and Martha Harris in 1976 by the Organisation for Economic and Cultural Development as part of a project to develop policies and programmes that would support families in their educational task. It was included in Sincerity: Collected Papers of Donald Meltzer ed. A. Hahn (1994) but has never until now been published as an independent work in English, though it has been published in French, Spanish and Italian and has had extensive use in those countries by therapists, teachers, teacher-trainers and social workers.It is a unique work owing to its integration of a psychoanalytical theory of learning with an ecological conception of how the various systems involved in the educational process are interconnected, and as such is still of great present-day relevance, both to clinical and educational practitioners and to policy-makers.
Publisher of the Mind: Seventy-Five Years of Karnac Books
by Brett KahrKarnac Books was founded on 24 March 1950 by Harry Karnac as a general interest bookshop at Gloucester Road, London SW7. Following strong sales of a D. W. Winnicott title, Harry Karnac began to increase his stock of mental health titles until they came to occupy the full floor of the shop's basement. Word spread through the global mental health community and Karnac Books became the epicentre for English mental health publications, not only as a must-visit venue but also as a thriving mail-order business. Before long, Harry took the plunge into publishing alongside bookselling and the Karnac imprint was born. Since 1950, Karnac has changed hands several times and Brett Kahr has met, befriended, and interviewed every single owner from the eponymous Harry Karnac to the present day. His detailed knowledge as customer, author, and friend of Karnac makes him the perfect person to write this history, undertaken as a labour of love and published to celebrate Karnac's 75th anniversary. The book begins with an amusing introduction on the welcome affliction of Karnacitis, swiftly followed by a comprehensive history of early psychoanalytic publishing before leading into the first instalment of the chronicles of Karnac. The behind-the-scenes story of the iconic Karnac Books shows why it rose to be a pivotal member of the mental health community and continues to this day.

The Girls Within: A True Story of Triumph over Trauma and Abuse
by Gill FrostA compelling true story of one woman's battle with the aftermath of childhood trauma, which gives a gripping account of the often controversial and misunderstood condition of dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personality disorder (MPD). This emotional but ultimately uplifting journey details the unforeseen twists and turns of the effects of therapy and how it can help in coming to terms with the past and its unsettling echoes in the present. Heartwarming and lucid, it's an inspiring tale for all to read. Through its clinical rigour, professional therapists will also gain insight into the various treatment options for DID, including the innovative use of energy therapy. The book contains 32 colour illustrations, including 24 drawings by The Girls. The star of this book is an extraordinary, bright-spirited, and entertaining six-year-old girl, called Little Vivvi, who experienced shocking abuse from members of her family. Yet Little Vivvi lives within Vivian, a middle-aged woman who has struggled with DID for many years. The challenging process of psychotherapy is laid bare, as Little Vivvi wrestles with overwhelming memories of childhood abuse. Alongside talking therapy, energy treatment, which she calls Wooshing, is utilised to astonishing effect, becoming the enigmatic ingredient that finally enables Little Vivvi to find relief from the distress and fear that had dominated her existence. As therapy seems to draw to a close, Izzy appears. A very sensitive, thoughtful and mature eight-year-old, Izzy too needs love, support and treatment to speak about her trauma. After overcoming her understandable distrust, Izzy enables an exceptional ending to the therapeutic journey, far beyond anything Vivian and her therapist, Gill, could have dreamed. Little Vivvi and Izzy will make you want to laugh out loud as well as cry. Their story teaches so much about suffering, dissociation and survival. Their aim is to enlighten, inspire and offer hope to others through reading their incredible tales, which reveal the astonishing power of The Girls within.

Eckhart's ApophaticTheology: Knowing the Unknowable God
by Vladimir LosskyVladimir Lossky's posthumously published masterwork is now made available in English for the first time. Eckhart's Apophatic Theology is the culmination of a long process, whereby the renowned Orthodox philosopher and theologian embraced the ways of thinking of a thirteenth-century German mendicant and mystic. While refusing to simplify Eckhart's theology to a system or single motif, Lossky explores in detail the various ramifications of Eckhart's insistence on the ineffability of God. Is God to be regarded as 'being', or the 'One', or 'Intellect'? Does God's pure expression of each of these preclude the others? Framed by six key statements about God's essence, Lossky lays out Eckhart's approach to this dilemma. His understanding of the problem, guided by careful engagement with a multitude of sources, is exhaustive. Scholars will welcome this eagerly-anticipated translation.

The first volume, Richard Aldington: Poet, Soldier and Lover, described Aldington's life as a stalwart of the pre-war London literary scene, his experience as an infantryman on the Western Front and his postwar personal and creative crises; this second volume seeks to balance the stories of Aldington's subsequent public and private lives through a careful reading of his novels, poems and letters with his circle of acquaintances. The ways in which Aldington's dysfunctional childhood and survivor's guilt continued to haunt him through the inter-war years and beyond are masterfully untangled by an authorwith gifted psychological insight into her subject. Volume Two covers Aldington's personal and public lives as he transformed himself from poet to novelist and from novelist to biographer and explores his debacles and triumphs, particularly in the wake of his hugely controversial attack on the reputation of T.E. Lawrence. This authoritative biography recounts the life of one of the most underrated writers of the last century.
Every Good Thing: An Introduction to the Material World and the Common Good for Christians
by David W. JonesThe physical world around us should have just as much bearing on how Christians act and think as the life to come. But Christians often don't understand how the Bible speaks directly to this important aspect of everyday life. In Every Good Thing, David W. Jones illustrates the wide variety of areas--wealth and poverty, tithing and creation-care, vocation and Sabbath--impacted by our understanding of the Bible's teaching on the material realm. This short book surveys key concepts and controversies on each topic, accompanied by Bible passages to help readers develop a more robust worldview of the physical world around us. After all, Christians should take the life of Christ as an example for their own--and his life on earth reflected a deep concern for and engagement with the world in which he walked and breathed, worked and lived. So, too, God calls us to think biblically about how our beliefs impact our material lives.
Psychoanalysis and Covidian Life: Common Distress, Individual Experience
by Howard B. Levine and Ana de StaalShowcasing a diverse range of contributions from psychoanalysts of many different countries and theoretical orientations, Psychoanalysis and Covidian Life, a collective work edited by Howard B. Levine and Ana de Staal, offers readers the opportunity to explore and reflect upon the ways in which the Covid-19 pandemic has begun to influence analytical practice. From the changes imposed on the framework (online sessions) to the impact of the trauma of isolation and the disruption of our social anchoring (required by confinement and health protection gestures), to the challenge presented to the 'ordinary' denial of mortality, this book explores the lessons of what the pandemic can teach us about how to understand and treat collective distress individually and puts psychoanalytical tools to the test of the profound psychosocial upheavals that the twenty-first century may hold in store. This book will be of interest to practising and trainee clinicians and anyone with an interest in the all-consuming effects of a global pandemic. Contributions from Christopher Bollas, Patricia Cardoso de Mello, Bernard Chervet, Joshua Durban, Antonino Ferro, Serge Frisch, Steven Jaron, Daniel Kupermann, Howard Levine, Francois Levy, Riccardo Lombardi, Elias & Alberto Rocha Barros, Michael Rustin, Ana de Staal, and Jean-Jacques Tyszler.
Vatican Council II: Reforming Liturgy
by Carmel Pilcher, David Orr, Elizabeth HarringtonSacrosanctum Concilium opened the door to all Christians to understand the contemporary challenge to their life and health, and it started with the reform of the liturgy. In the words of Paul VI the liturgy is the ‘first source of life communicated to us, the first school of our spiritual life, the first gift we can give to Christian people by our believing and praying, and the first invitation to the world.’ That is surely true for all of us.
