A king was once hunting in a great wood, and he hunted the game so eagerly that none of his courtiers could follow him. When evening came on he stood still and looked round him, and he saw that he had quite lost himself. He sought a way out, but could find none. Then he saw an old woman with a shaking head coming towards him; but she was a witch.

Robert Moore is a mill owner noted for apparent ruthlessness toward his employees. He has laid off many of them, apparently indifferent to their resulting poverty. But in fact he has no choice, since the mill is deep in debt. The mill was inefficiently run by his late father and is already mortgaged. His elder brother became a private tutor, leaving Robert to restore the mill to profitability. He is determined to restore his family's honour and fortune.

Partly autobiographical, the sketches describe Alcott's experience as a nurse during the Civil War. After substantial hardship in trying to obtain a spot, she travels through New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore en route to Washington D. C. Immediately after her arrival, she attends to the wounded from the Battle of Fredericksburg. Her first assignment is washing them before putting them to bed. She converses with the various wounded soldiers, including an Irishman and a Virginia blacksmith. The blacksmith's death in particular touches her deeply.

There was once a merchant, who was very, very rich. He had six children, three boys and three girls, and as he was a man of good sense, he spared no expense in order that they might be well educated, and gave them masters of every kind. His daughters were all beautiful, but his youngest one was especially admired, and from the time she was a small child, had been only known and spoken of as Beauty.

The Corpus Hermeticum are Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts from which are mostly presented as dialogues in which a teacher enlightens a disciple. The texts form the basis of Hermeticism. They discuss the divine, the cosmos, mind, and nature. Some touch upon alchemy, astrology, and related concepts.

A dialogue between a Young Man and an Old Man regarding the nature of man. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism. The Old Man asserts that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objects, and asks him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position.

C?nd "explodezi" de furie, gesturile necugetate pot avea consecin?e pe care s? le regre?i o via?? ?ntreag?: ajungi s?-?i strici rela?iile cu cei mai buni prieteni, ??i periclitezi situa?ia de la serviciu sau chiar te ?mboln?ve?ti grav. Reac?ia pasiv?, de tipul "Rabd? ?i ?ntoarce ?i cel?lalt obraz", dar ?i exprimarea brut? a furiei (prin lovirea unor perne, de exemplu) sunt, ambele, solu?ii la fel de nes?n?toase. Dar cum altfel s? faci fa?? stresului ?i nedrept??ilor ?i cum s? ??i aperi punctul de vedere, f?r? s? pari agresiv? Influentul terapeut american Albert Ellis te ajut? s?-?i ?n?elegi mai bine credin?ele care ??i provoac? furia, s? ??i exprimi ?n moduri asertive (dar neviolente) opiniile ?n fa?a celor care te-au m?niat, dar ?i s? aplici metode de relaxare ?i de control cognitiv-comportamental al reac?iilor afective exacerbate ?i al g?ndurilor ira?ionale disfunc?ionale. Miza c?r?ii nu const? ?n a-?i reprima sau ascunde furia, ci ?n a o accepta ?i a o modula ?n forme s?n?toase, care te pot ajuta s? fii mai asertiv ?i mai echilibrat.?

Surse oficiale precizeaz?: Metroul-2 este un obiectiv guvernamental, care prezint? interes din punctul de vedere al leg?turilor subterane ?i, ?n caz de necesitate, poate fi folosit at?t ca sistem sigur de comunica?ii, c?t ?i ca mijloc de transport. Dac?, p?n? ?n prezent, n-au existat motive s? fie ascunse aceste informa?ii, atunci, de ce nu se spune dac? Metroul-2 este depozit secret pentru rezervele de aur ale Rusiei sau tunel care duce la cele mai mari z?c?minte de bog??ii minerale sau drumul folosit de Stalin ca s? mearg? la ?nt?lnirile cu Buharin? Ce s-a petrecut ?i ce se petrece acolo? Mai ?nt?i, de ce au fost ?mpu?ca?i constructorii Metroului-2? De ce au disp?rut at??ia oameni ?i de unde a ap?rut plutoniul pentru armament sub p?m?nt?

Sau despre legendara bibliotec? a lui Ivan cel Groaznic, precum ?i despre cauzele pr?bu?irii parcului acvatic din Moscova? Despre toate acestea ?i despre multe altele v? va povesti un ziarist care a cutreierat ?mpreun? cu diggerii tunelurile subterane ?i s-a ini?iat ?n tainele sumbre ale metrourilor din Piter ?i Moscova.

Jeffrey Kluger a crescut ?ntr-o familie al?turi de al?i trei fra?i b?ie?i. De asemenea, mai are doi fra?i vitregi gemeni, dintr-o a doua c?snicie a tat?lui s?u – o fat? ?i un b?iat.Plec?nd de la experien?a personal?, autorul exploreaz?, cu ?n?elegere ?i umor, lumea complex? a fra?ilor din mai multe puncte de vedere: ?tiin?ific, psihologic, sociologic ?i memorialistic. El este de p?rere c? nimeni nu ne afecteaz? la fel de profund ca fra?ii ?i surorile noastre – nici p?rin?ii, nici copiii, nici prietenii no?tri. Din momentul ?n care ne na?tem, fra?ii sunt colaboratorii no?tri ?i cei cu care conspir?m, modelele noastre ?i cei de la care avem cele mai multe lucruri de ?nv??at. Ei ne ?nva?? cum s? ne rezolv?m conflictele, cum s? ne facem prieteni ?i cum s? st?m departe de necazuri. Fra?ii no?tri sunt singurele persoane pe care le cunoa?tem care se calific? ?ntr-adev?r ca parteneri de via??.Printre subiectele pe care autorul le examineaz? ?n aceast? carte se num?r?: conflictele ?ntre fra?i ?i rezolvarea lor; ordinea na?terii ?i influen?a acesteia asupra evolu?iei ulterioare a fra?ilor; consecin?ele pe care faptul de a fi favoritul unuia dintre p?rin?i le are asupra celorlal?i fra?i; urm?rile pe care divor?ul p?rin?ilor le are asupra copiilor, care fie trebuie s? locuiasc? cu un singur p?rinte, fie sunt nevoi?i s? tr?iasc? ?n cadrul unei familii noi, l?rgite; conceptul de alloparenting (ajutorul dat de fra?ii mai mari la cre?terea fra?ilor mai mici); drogurile, consumul de alcool ?i sarcina la adolescen??; studiile care au ca subiect gemenii ?i copiii unici (d?nd ca exemplu politica na?ional? a copilului unic din China); codificarea genetic? a tr?s?turilor comportamentale; tulbur?rile emo?ionale ?i efectele lor asupra rela?iilor fraterne; evolu?ia ?n timp a leg?turilor fraterne ?i multe altele.

Faptele sunt mai gr?itoare dec?t cuvintele: o ?ncuviin?are din cap, un suspin elocvent, o privire studiat?, un z?mbet cu sub?n?eles, bra?ele ?ncruci?ate, chiar ?i modul ?n care v? atinge?i nasul sunt c?teva dintre sutele de indicii pe care trupul vostru le ofer? permanent ?i de care poate c? nici nu sunte?i con?tien?i.

Atunci c?nd discu?i cu adul?ii despre educa?ia sexual? pe care au primit o ?n copil?rie ?i adolescen??, ei vor spune, ?n general, c? a fost complet nepotrivit? ?i c? ?i ar dori ceva mai bun pentru copiii lor. ?i copiii ??i doresc un dialog cu p?rin?ii lor. Toat? lumea este con?tient? de necesitatea de a discuta despre sex cu un adolescent. Adolescen?ii ?i sexul este o carte instrument care ne ajut? s? umplem un gol de comunicare. Cum s? discut?m despre schimb?rile fizice ?i psihice de la pubertate, locul de unde se pot aduna informa?ii despre sexualitate, nevoia de intimitate, rela?iile adolescen?ilor cu adul?ii ?i cu cei de aceea?i v?rst?, impactul sexualit??ii adolescen?ilor asupra vie?ii de familie, precum ?i comportamentul riscant, orientarea sexual? a tinerilor ?i rolul p?rin?ilor – toate aceste teme importante ?i, uneori, st?njenitoare sunt abordate ?i discutate concret, cartea oferind informa?ii clare ?i sfaturi practice p?rin?ilor care vor s? ?i sprijine copiii ?n dificilul proces al maturiz?rii.

De ce devii psihiatru/psiholog/psihoterapeut? De ce s? vrei s? aju?i oamenii s? dep??easc? problemele vie?ii ?i s? se cunoasc? pe sine? Ce se ?nt?mpl? ?n mintea celui chemat s? te asculte ?i s? te accepte necondi?ionat? Rolurile se inverseaz? acum ?i ascult?torul este invitat s? se dest?inuie. Pe parcursul a 22 de confesiuni reunite ?n acest volum de cunoscutul psihiatru Christophe André, medicii ?i psihologii ??i ?mp?rt??esc experien?e personale ?i profesionale ce i-au adus sau i-au f?cut s? persiste pe acest drum, o cale, printre altele, de reg?sire de sine ?i de autod?ruire. Confesiunile ?nc?nt? prin stilul propriu al fiec?rui autor, prin anecdotica antrenant?, prin posibilitatea rar? de a p?trunde "?n culise", acolo unde fiecare ??i preg?te?te ?nt?lnirea mereu singular? cu pacientul din fa?a sa. Cartea se dore?te a fi o inspira?ie pentru cei afla?i ?n c?utarea echilibrului interior sau ?naintea unei alegeri profesionale, fiind totodat? o lectur? pl?cut? ?i incitant?.

Ce fel de fotografii poate afi?a pe internet fiica mea adolescent? ?i cu cine se poate "?mprieteni" pe Facebook? Specializat? ?n psihiatria copilului ?i mam? a trei b?ie?i, Jodi Gold puncteaz?, pe un ton echilibrat, at?t beneficiile educa?ionale ?i cognitive ale tehnologiilor digitale, c?t ?i numeroasele capcane. Astfel, p?rin?ii noii genera?ii de "copii digitali" vor afla ce aplica?ii ?i jocuri ?ncurajeaz? creativitatea ?i inteligen?a copilului sau adolescentului, dar ?i ce limite trebuie impuse (ca durat?, dar ?i la nivel de con?inut), pentru a evita h?r?uirea online, refugierea nes?n?toas? ?n lumea vitual? ori dezinteresul pentru ?coal? ?i rela?iile sociale din real?.

Un pu?ti de-o ?chioap? se arunc? pe jos ?n mijlocul magazinului; un elev de gimnaziu se plimb? prin clas? ?n mijlocul orei; un adolescent r?zg?iat ?n-are chef" s? ?nve?e nicio meserie. P?rin?ilor, profesorilor sau chiar angajatorilor, peisajul le este deja familiar. Cum se face c? ace?ti copii au ajuns s?-i joace pe degete pe adul?i ?i s? nu mai respecte nicio autoritate? Michael Winterhoff, psihiatru de copii, explic? ?n ce fel abdicarea de la reperele educa?ionale tradi?ionale, dar ?i ?ncurajarea unei rela?ii de ?parteneriat" (de negociere) ?ntre p?rin?i ?i copii a dus la situa?ia ?n care copiii sunt complet lipsi?i de acele oglindiri, limit?ri ?i ?ndrum?ri vitale pentru a deprinde autocontrolul ?i a cre?te nu doar fizic, ci ?i emo?ional. Discut?nd tendin?a p?rin?ilor de a-?i proiecta ne?mplinirile ?n via?a copilului, cartea ne reconduce la r?d?cinile parentajului: copiii trebuie s? redevin? copii, iar p?rin?ii trebuie s? redevin? educatorii grijulii, dar fermi, de care copiii au nevoie pentru o dezvoltare armonioas?.
