13 razones para hablar con tu hijo adolescente
by Maite Nascimento Araitz PetrizanUn libro práctico e imprescindible para saber actuar frente a problemas tan graves como la alimentación, las drogas y las adicciones, el bullying, el ciberacoso, la identidad sexual, la depresión y el suicidio. El éxito mundial de la serie Por 13 razones, basada en la novela homónima de Jay Asher, ha puesto en primera línea un debate permanente: ¿cómo puede el mundo adulto dar respuesta a la explosión vital que supone la adolescencia? El periodo que cubre la adolescencia suele fijarse entre los 11-12 años y los 18-20. Se trata de grupos de edad extremadamente diferentes que, sin embargo, se encuentran separados por una distancia temporal mínima. En un período tan breve se experimentan algunos de los procesos vitales que marcan una vida para siempre. Cambios físicos de toda índole influyen de forma fundamental en el desarrollo del adolescente. Estos cambios suelen generar conflictos y requieren que los padres o personas responsables del adolescente se aproximen a ellos desde una perspectiva adulta con firmeza y determinación. El rendimiento escolar, los amigos, el aspecto físico, la alimentación, la sexualidad, las adicciones o los trastornos mentales son temas que nos afectan a diario. Temas cotidianos que a menudo se tratan de forma superficial, tópica o sencillamente no se tratan. Es necesario aceptar la inestabilidad como algo propio de la adolescencia y comprender que no se trata de establecer relaciones simétricas de igual a igual. Las relaciones con los hijos adolescentes son relaciones asimétricas en las que el adulto debe tener claro que el inmaduro es el adolescente. La construcción de los canales de comunicación se tiene que establecer desde este punto de vista si se quiere intervenir de forma positiva en esa etapa. Hemos de ser conscientes de que, en mayor o menor medida, el choque va a producirse de forma inevitable y es necesario que la respuesta sea de seguridad y consistencia. Es absolutamente necesario saber establecer límites. Los límites deben ser sólidos. Este libro contiene un kit básico para «sobrevivir» a la llegada de la adolescencia y propone, de forma directa y sintética, trece temas clave para comprender y participar mejor de la vida y los cambios de esta etapa.
13 ÂMES
by Sara De MiguelC'est curieux car chaque fois qu’une personne me demande ce que je fais, je réponds que je suis psychologue en soins palliatifs, et automatiquement, elle change de sujet. Presque personne ne m'interroge sur mon travail, presque personne ne veut entendre parler de la maladie, et encore moins de la mort, alors que la seule chose certaine dans notre vie, c'est que nous allons mourir. Nous ne savons pas quand ni comment ; mais quand ce moment se produira, nous voulons tous « bien mourir », sans même se demander en quoi consiste « bien mourir ». Heureusement, j'ai l'immense plaisir d‘exercer au sein d'une équipe de médecins et d'infirmiers très professionnelle, mais surtout très humaine, avec qui j’ai partagé l'expérience extraordinaire d'aider de nombreuses personnes à mourir du mieux possible. Et si c'est ainsi, c’est parce que chaque personne malade rencontrée possède une histoire et un présent qui sont le fruit de son unique passé. Ils nous lisent les pages de leur biographie, nous enseignent à voir avec nos yeux et à sentir avec notre cœur ; ils nous font part de leurs peurs et de leurs inquiétudes, laissent exprimer leurs émotions pour que le moment venu ils puissent mourir avec le moins de souffrance possible. Mon plus grand apprentissage au fil des années a été le suivant : si nous écoutions davantage les personnes proches de la mort, nous les aiderions à mourir mieux. Et surtout, si nous écoutions davantage les personnes qui s'approchent de la mort, nous apprendrions à vivre mieux.
13, rue Thérèse: A Novel
by Elena Mauli ShapiroAmerican academic Trevor Stratton discovers a box full of artifacts from World War I as he settles into his new office in Paris. The pictures, letters, and objects in the box relate to the life of Louise Brunet, a feisty, charming Frenchwoman who lived through both World Wars. As Trevor examines and documents the relics the box offers up, he begins to imagine the story of Louise Brunet's life: her love for a cousin who died in the war, her marriage to a man who works for her father, and her attraction to a neighbor in her building at 13 rue Thérèse. The more time he spends with the objects though, the truer his imaginings of Louise's life become, and the more he notices another alluring Frenchwoman: Josianne, his clerk, who planted the box in his office in the first place, and with whom he finds he is falling in love.
13.8: The Quest to Find the True Age of the Universe and the Theory of Everything
by John GribbinThe bestselling author of The Scientists presents &“alively and accessible look at how astronomers determined the age of our universe&” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The twentieth century gave us two great theories of physics. The general theory of relativity describes the behavior of very large things, and quantum theory the behavior of very small things. In this landmark book, John Gribbin—one of the best-known science writers of the past thirty years—presents his own version of the Holy Grail of physics, the search that has been going on for decades to find a unified &“Theory of Everything&” that combines these ideas into one mathematical package, a single equation that could be printed on a T-shirt, containing the answer to life, the Universe, and everything. With his inimitable mixture of science, history, and biography, Gribbin shows how—despite skepticism among many physicists—these two great theories are very compatible, and point to a deep truth about the nature of our existence. The answer lies, intriguingly, with the age of the universe: 13.8 billion years. &“Gribbin is a confident, engaging guide . . . a lovingly rendered history.&”—The Wall Street Journal &“An exciting chronicle of a monumental scientific accomplishment by a scientist who participated in the measuring of the age of the universe.&”—Kirkus Reviews &“A book that hits readers with unrelenting detail. And with a story as grand as this one, that&’s exactly the way a good science book should have it. Nothing will be lost here, and everything—a clear understanding—will be gained.&”—Astronomy &“A welcome and relatively quick read for cosmology buffs, students, and amateur astronomers.&”—Booklist

130 Years of Catching Up with the West: A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization (Routledge Revivals)
by Peter S BiegelbauerThis title was first published in 2000: Issues such as globalization and the fight against joblessness as well as the growth dynamics of economies in general have been linked with science and technology. Accordingly, the growing public interest in the effects of science and technology on society and politics and vice versa have been the foremost reason for the creation of this study. One of the central questions for politicians as well as for scholars in the field of science and technology is, "How can I influence a given science and technology system in a way so as to achieve optimal outcomes for a given national economy?". The study at hand tries to answer this question by analyzing the Hungarian research sphere from industrialization until the late-20th century. Since the beginning of industrialization, Hungary has made a number of attempts to catch up with the economically more developed Western European countries. The problems encountered in the course of the Hungarian efforts are surprisingly similar to the difficulties that modern, fully industrialized economies are facing today.

by Zachary Lipez&“Framed by Zinner&’s sly photograpy . . . A boozy, grungy, alt-rock fable&” from the collaborators of Please Take Me Off the Guest List (Kirkus Reviews). When Sam, a bartender in New York, hears that his ex, Vicki, his one true love, has quit AA and is out drinking again, he embarks on a quest to find her. Sam and his sidekick Francis trek from dive bars to gay bars to rocker bars—encountering skinheads, party promoters, underage drug dealers, and dominatrixes—but they are always one step behind Vicki. It begins to seem like 131 different things are keeping the lovers apart. Before the night is over, Sam will have to wrestle with what he is really looking for.

1312: A journey with the world’s most extreme fans
by James MontagueYou can see them, but you don't know them.Ultras are football fans like no others. A hugely visible and controversial part of the global game, their credo and aesthetic replicated in almost every league everywhere on earth, a global movement of extreme fandom and politics is also one of the largest youth movements in the world. Yet they remain unknown: an anti-establishment force that is transforming both football and politics. In this book, James Montague goes underground to uncover the true face of this dissident force for the first time. 1312: Among the Ultras tells the story of how the movement began and how it grew to become the global phenomenon that now dominates the stadiums from the Balkans and Buenos Aires. With unprecedented insider access, the book investigates how ultras have grown into a fiercely political movement, embracing extremes on both the left and right; fighting against the commercialisation of football and society – and against the attempts to control them by the authorities, who both covet and fear their power.
