S? fii un tat? minunat pare o sarcin? de-a dreptul imposibil? uneori. Se a?teapt? de la tat?l modern s? poat? face orice – s? poarte ?ntotdeauna de grij? familiei, s?-i motiveze pe copii, s? fie un bun ?ndrum?tor, consilier, educator, gestionar, asistent medical, nutri?ionist, ofi?er de securitate... iar lista r?m?ne deschis?.Autorul le d? o speran?? tuturor ta?ilor care, p?n? acum, s-au descurcat ?i ei cum au putut, oferindu-le un ghid complet pentru a se implica direct ?n via?a copiilor lor, din momentul concep?iei ?i p?n? c?nd ace?tia ajung la v?rsta adult?.

Mamele, care fac at?t de multe lucruri, spun adesea despre ele c? stau ?n cas? ?i nu fac nimic. Se simt singure, invizibile ?i ne?nsemnate. ?i asta de?i fiecare mam? ??i preg?te?te copilul pentru societatea ?n care tr?im cu to?ii. ?ntreaga civiliza?ie depinde de munca mamelor. ?i nu sunt vorbe prea mari. Via?a social? ar fi haotic? f?r? contribu?ia at?t de ?nsemnat? a mamelor. Dac? ele se simt lipsite de importan??, atunci cu siguran?? valoarea muncii lor nu este apreciat? cum se cuvine. Cartea Ce fac mamele este scris? cu scopul de a ilustra nu doar motivele pentru care meseria de mam? merit? toat? admira?ia noastr?, ci ?i influen?a pe care noi to?i o avem ?n acest sens. Cu to?ii suntem conecta?i la universul acesta al mamelor.Atunci c?nd o femeie ?ncepe s? le spun? celor din jur c? este ?ns?rcinat?, se simte uneori de parc? ar fi p??it pe un teren minat. Pentru fiecare ?ntrebare posibil? legat? de ea ?i de copilul ei, exist? cel pu?in dou? ?coli opuse de g?ndire. Fiecare ?coal? de g?ndire ??i consolideaz? principiile prin intermediul unui atac la adresa ?colii ?inamice“, cu previziuni ?nfrico??toare privitoare la ceea ce se va ?nt?mpla dac? mama va c?dea prad? influen?ei acesteia. Au ap?rut o mul?ime de c?r?i care le ?ndeamn? pe mame s? urmeze regulile sau instruc?iunile personale ale autorilor, deoarece acestea, chipurile, le-ar u?ura munca. Dar c?t de util este un set de reguli? Tr?im ?ntr-o societate tolerant?, iar dreptul de a alege este o consecin?? pre?ioas? a acestui fapt. Totu?i, mamele se simt adesea etichetate ?n func?ie de alegerile pe care le fac ?i respinse de femeile care au luat decizii diferite. Autoarea ?ncearc? ?ns? s? ne spun? c?, ?n spatele alegerilor noastre individuale, exist? teme fundamentale, comune mai tuturor mamelor. Le ?mp?rt??im oriunde am locui ?i indiferent de epoc?. Rolul de mam? se concentreaz? asupra dragostei pe care o ofer? copilului s?u. Cartea ??i propune s? ofere pe de o parte ?ncuraj?rile de care au at?ta nevoie mamele, pe de alta, un reper ferm pentru oricine ?ncearc? s? le ?n?eleag?.
Sister Carrie
Sister Carrie
Theodore Dreiser
¥27.88
In Sister Carrie, Dreiser portrayed a changing society, writing about a young woman who flees rural life for the city (Chicago) and struggles with poverty, complex relationships with men, and prostitution. It sold poorly and was considered controversial because of moral objections to his featuring a country girl who pursues her dreams of fame and fortune through relationships with men. The book has since acquired a considerable reputation. It has been called the "greatest of all American urban novels." It was adapted as a 1952 film by the same name, directed by William Wyler and starring Laurence Olivier and Jennifer Jones.??"..When Caroline Meeber boarded the afternoon train for Chicago, her total outfit consisted of a small trunk, a cheap imita-tion alligator-skin satchel, a small lunch in a paper box, and a yellow leather snap purse, containing her ticket, a scrap of paper with her sister's address in Van Buren Street, and four dollars in money. It was in August, 1889. ??She was eighteen years of age, bright, timid, and full of the illusions of ignorance and youth. Whatever touch of regret at parting characterised her thoughts, it was certainly not for advantages now being given up. A gush of tears at her mother's farewell kiss, a touch in her throat when the cars clacked by the flour mill where her father worked by the day, a pathetic sigh as the familiar green environs of the village passed in review, and the threads which bound her so lightly to girlhood and home were irretrievably broken.."

". . . aphorism are seldom couched in such terms, that they should be taken as they sound precisely, or according to the widest extent of signification; but do commonly need exposition, and admit exception: otherwise frequently they would not only clash with reason and experience, but interfere, thwart, and supplant one another." ? ? ? ? Issac Barrow "The very essence of an aphorism is that slight exaggeration which makes it more biting whilst less rigidly accurate." ? ? ? ?—Leslie Stephen There are of course, girls and girls; yet at heart they are pretty much alike. In age, naturally, they differ wildly. But this is a thorny subject. Suffice it to say that all men love all girls-the maid of sweet sixteen equally with the maid of untold age. There is something exasperatingly something-or-otherish about girls. And they know it—which makes them more something-or-otherish still:—there is no other word for it. A girl is a complicated thing. It is made up of clothes, smiles, a pompadour, things of which space and prudence forbid the enumeration here. These things by themselves do not constitute a girl which is obvious; nor is any one girl without these things which is not too obvious. Where the things end and the girl begins many men have tried to find out. Many girls would like to be men—except on occasions. At least so they say, but perhaps this is just a part of their something-or-otherishness. Why they should want to be men, men cannot conceive. Men pale before them, grow hot and cold before them, run before them (and after them), swear by them (and at them), and a bit of a chit of a thing in short skirts and lisle-thread stockings will twist able-bodied males round her little finger.It is an open secret that girls are fonder of men than they are of one another—which is very lucky for the men. Girls differ; and the same girl is different at different times. When she is by herself, she is one thing. When she is with other girls she is another thing. When she is with a lot of men, she is a third sort of thing. When she is with a man. . . But this baffled even Agur the son of Jakeh.As a rule, a man prefers a girl by herself. This is natural. And yet is said that you cannot have too much of a good thing. If this were true, a bevy of girls would be the height of happiness. Yet some men would sooner face the bulls of Bashan.Some foolish men—probably poets—have sought for and asserted the existence of the ideal girl. This is sheer nonsense: there is no such thing. And if there were, she could not compare with the real girl, the girl of flesh and blood—which (as some one ought to have said) are excellent things in woman. Other men, equally foolish, have regarded girls as playthings. I wish these men had tried to play with them. They would have found that they were playing with fire and brimstone. Yet the veriest spit-fire can be wondrous sweet.Sweet? Yes. On the whole a girl is the sweetest thing known or knowable. On the 6 whole of this terrestrial sphere Nature has produced nothing more adorable than the high-spirited high-bred girl.—Of this she is quite aware—to our cost (I speak as a man). The consequence is, her price has gone up, and man has to pay high and pay all sorts of things—ices, sweets, champagne, drives, church-goings, and sometimes spot-cash.

Mikor mondhatjuk, hogy kapcsolatunk kiegyensúlyozott a gyerekünkkel? Ha minden kérésünket szó nélkül teljesíti? Ha nem dacol, és az iskolában sincs rá panasz? De mi t?rténik, ha egy nap rossz jegyet hoz haza, ha duzzogva kivonja magát a házimunkából, ha nem tartja be nekünk tett ígéretét, s?t nem mond igazat? Akkor kevésbé fogjuk szeretni? Alfie Kohn, a gyermeknevelés elismert szakért?je határozottan állítja, hogy a kérdés komolyabb, mint el?sz?r gondolnánk. A gyermekek jelent?s részének komoly szorongást okoz, ha úgy érzi, nem ? maga, hanem a viselkedése számít. Mindegy, hogy büntetünk vagy jutalmazunk, az üzenet ugyanaz: csak akkor állunk ki mellette, ha azt csinálja, amit elvárunk t?le. Holott minden gyereknek alapvet? és legfontosabb igénye, hogy a szülei feltétel nélkül szeressék! Akkor is, ha nem fogad szót. Akkor is, ha csúnyán beszél, verekszik, vagy egyszer?en csak lustálkodni szeretne tanulás helyett… A Szül?k feltétel nélkül állításait komoly kutatások támasztják alá, és rengeteg gyakorlati tanáccsal látja el a hagyományos fegyelmezés ?rd?gi k?réb?l kit?rni vágyó szül?ket.

The latest book by Greg Behrendt, author of the multi-million plus copy bestseller ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’, is another hilarious, wry and wise take on relationships and how to move on when one goes sour. ‘He's Just Not That Into You’ is more than a book. It's a revolution. The phrase, coined by Behrendt for an episode of ‘Sex and the City’, has now entered the language: it features in ads, it’s referred to in newspaper headlines and it has spawned spin-off spoof books and more. ‘It's Called A Break-up Because It’s Broken’ promises to do this and more. It will help you get over anyone and move on. Behrendt's voice is unique – combining tell-it-like-it-is advice with humour and the 'guy's eye view'. The book is filled with solid advice to help you let go of your ex – for example: 'It's 3 am, the bottle of wine is empty, do you really want to make that call?' Each insightful chapter is complemented with a Q-and-A with Greg on what he's thinking, case studies, and games. Greg and Amiira tackle tough issues such as break-up sex, how not to lose your friends during a break-up, and 10 great places to cry. It's the ultimate read and reference for anyone who has ever been in a relationship.

What ever happened to dating? Used to be that a guy would ask a girl out. He'd pick her up at her house and take her out for dinner, a movie, or a cup of coffee and some conversation. Then both parties would decide if they wanted to do it again next week. There was protocol. A standard set of guidelines to follow for this age-old ritual. These days who even knows what dating is? It's Just a Date gives you tools, not rules that you can use, while also opening you up to new ideas about how to date and who might be right for you. The book shows us how things have changed on the dating scene and what we need to do to adapt, including – ? How the digital age has changed dating, from texting (the new not calling) to online dating. ? The compromise: hooking up, booty calls and quasi dates – was it or wasn't it a date? ? Exit strategies – how to pull the plug when the dating isn't working out. Dating doesn't have to be hard – in fact, if not taken so seriously, it can be seriously fun.

With so many parenting styles to choose from, when it comes to giving your child the best start in life it can be difficult to know which way to turn. Psychiatrist and mother Robin Burman’s brilliant new book shows you the way: Hate Me Now, Thank Me Later is the definitive guide to helping your child grow with both love and discipline. Whilst in years gone by children were seen and not heard, too often nowadays their every whim and tantrum is pandered to. As much as the former is unthinkable, the latter can also be damaging to a child’s later life: over praised children allowed to set their own limits often become anxious and are unable to deal with the negative emotions they will eventually encounter. Hate Me Now, Thank Me Later finds the perfect balance between the outdated old and the unfortunate new. Through helpful guidance based on Robin’s extensive experience as both a certified psychiatrist and mother, it will teach you to be comfortable setting boundaries whilst maintaining a loving connection; fostering confidence, respect and emotional maturity in your child as a result. Packed with practical advice alongside plenty of sympathetic anecdotes, Hate Me Now, Thank Me Later is the warm, relatable guide to parenting which you can come back to again and again. Robin Berman, MD, is a psychiatrist; associate professor at UCLA; and a founding board member of the UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital.

Stuart just wanted his father to love him, but he was made to believe he was too naughty to be loved. Finally David Howarth was sent to prison for abusing Stuart's young sisters. Nobody knew the truth about Stuart's abuse until one fateful day when his father tried it again and Stuart fought back in the only way he knew how. Stuart Howarth spent the first thirty years of his life in mental and physical hell. After years of emotional torment and despair, at the age of 32 Stuart felt an overwhelming urge to see his father (who he now knows was actually his stepfather), then living in Wales. Seeking reconciliation, Stuart was only to be met by the same old abusive man. The rage, pain and confusion boiled over in Stuart and he fought back, killing his stepfather. When Stuart's story came to light in the courtroom, it was so terrible that he received the minimum possible sentence for his crime and only served thirteen months in Strangeways prison in Manchester. But while in prison, the cruel system compounded the crimes of his evil abuser, and he suffered at the hands of the prison guards. What happened to him during those months led to him suing the Home Office and Strangeways on his release and winning his case. This is the story of a sweet-natured boy who grew into a brave young man and refused to allow himself to be a victim any longer.

Kristina Jones,Celeste Jones,Juliana Buhring
¥65.16
The bestselling, devastating account of three sisters torn apart, abused and exploited at the hands of a community that robbed them of their childhood. It reveals three lives, separate but entwined, that have experienced unspeakable horror, unrelenting loyalty and unforgettable courage. From as early as three years old, Juliana, Celeste and Kristina were treated as sexual beings by their 'guardians' in the infamous religious cult known as the Children of God. They were made to watch and mimic orgies, received love letters and sexual advances from men old enough to be their grandfather, and were forced into abusive relationships. They were denied access to formal schooling, had to wander the streets begging for money, and were mercilessly beaten for 'crimes' as unpredictable as reading an encyclopaedia. Finally, unable to live with the guilt of what had happened to her children, their mother escaped with Kristina, cutting herself off from her remaining children in a bid to save at least one child. Desperate to save her sisters, Kristina eventually returned to the place of her torture to free Celeste. Years later, Juliana found the courage to escape, knowing that the child she was carrying would be subjected to the same fate if she did not. Now the three sisters have finally come together to reveal in full and horrific detail their existence within the Children of God cult. Their stories reveal a community spread throughout the world and its legacy of anorexia, depression, drug abuse, suicide and even murder. Lives are ripped apart and painstakingly mended with a shared strength that finally enabled the sisters to free themselves from the shadows of their past.
