A Life In Orbit
A Life In Orbit
Ken W. Simpson
¥24.44
In my first book of poetry and prose, The Learning Process, Iexplored many themes. For my second book, A Life in Orbit, Idetermined to try something novel and new: a biography in verse. Itwas a daunting project because I had to revisit my past andtranslate my thoughts and memories into a discipline of words,lines and verses. I was handicapped to an extent by the restraintsimposed by the narrative style. I had to write truthfully, andwithout embellishment in four-line stanzas, within the time spanand framework of eleven periods of my life. These periods variedboth dramatically and traumatically, but I averaged around fortyverses for each period. This book dates from 1932 to 2012. Thecharacters include my parents, siblings, relatives, friends,teachers at school and university, teaching associates, travellingcompanions, poets, personal friends, as well as personalities andpolitical figures of the times. I have suffered, but I have alsotriumphed. Here is my story in prose. Ken W. Simpson was brought upin South Camberwell, a Melbourne suburb in the Australian state ofVictoria. He taught art and crafts in technical schools for fifteenyears before retiring. "I began writing short stories until Idiscovered my love for poetry." His first book The Learning Processwas published by Strategic two years ago. He lives with his familyin Lysterfield, suburban Melbourne. Publisher's website:http://sbpra.com/KenWSimpson

Interac?iunea cu persoanele dificile poate fi foarte demoralizatoare. Ea ??i poate tulbura starea emo?ional? ?i te poate ?mpiedica s? ??i atingi ?elurile. Avem de?a face cu oameni dificili, practic, tot timpul, at?t ?n rela?iile profesionale, c?t ?i ?n via?a de zi cu zi. ?i ?nt?lnim frecvent ?n situa?ii ?n care stresul poate face un om, de obicei ra?ional, s? se comporte ca un b?d?ran, s? devin? brusc ner?bd?tor, s? ac?ioneze sub imperiul nervilor – de?i, uneori, poate ap?rea ?i o combina?ie a acestor trei situa?ii. Mul?i oameni dificili nu ??i dau seama c? se comport? ur?t, ?n vreme ce al?ii se comport? sistematic ?n acest fel deoarece au impresia c? reu?esc s? ?i domine pe ceilal?i ?n via?a cotidian?.

Jojo Moyes

Al?turi de profesie ?i de rela?iile sociale, ?ntemeierea unei familii reprezint?, pentru Adler, una dintre cele trei mari sarcini ale unei vie?i ?mplinite. Antologia de fa?? reune?te concep?iile adleriene asupra dinamicii sexualit??ii, iubirii ?i mariajului, idei aflate ?n v?dit contrast cu viziunea lui Freud. C?ci, dac? pentru ultimul, personalitatea este determinat? ?n esen?? de pulsiuni, ?n cazul lui Adler, adaptarea la lumea social? st? ?n centrul personalit??ii ?n ?ntregul ei. Pe l?ng? descifrarea "protestului viril", tem? crucial? pentru ?n?elegerea feminismului, cartea face ample referiri la mecanismele specifice vie?ii de cuplu ?i la modul ?n care leg?turile conjugale pot fi perturbate de educa?ia sexual? inadecvat?, de lupta pentru putere sau de atitudinile discordante fa?? de sexualitate ?i familie. Scriitura clar? ?i multiplele ilustr?ri de caz recomand? aceast? antologie nu doar studen?ilor ?i psihologilor practicieni, ci ?i publicului larg. "Adler a ?n?eles c? oamenii sunt mai ?nt?i de toate fiin?e sociale ?i, de aceea, a sus?inut c? problemele ?i conflictele din cuplu nu reflect? patologii personale, ci reprezint? mai degrab? dificult??i la nivelul cooper?rii dintre parteneri. Adlerienii cred c? abilit??ile de care e nevoie pentru o rela?ie s?n?toas? pot fi ?nv??ate. Nimeni nu are ?n gene talentul bunei rela?ion?ri." – Jon Carlson, coautorul c?r?ii Mumia de la masa din sufragerie"Erotismul nu este niciodat? doar o pulsiune sexual? animalic?. Este mai degrab? o parte ?nalt specializat? a sentimentului social uman ce reflect? ?ntreaga personalitate ?i, astfel, ?i nivelul conect?rii la via?a social? ?i preg?tirea pentru o via?? ?n doi." – Alfred Adler
A Beginner's Psychology: Psychology: What it Is and What it Does?
A Beginner's Psychology: Psychology: What it Is and What it Does?
Edward Bradford Titchener
¥28.29
It is an acknowledged fact that we perceive errors in the work of others more readily than in our own.?—Leonardo da Vinci??In this Beginner's Psychology I have tried to write, as nearly as might be, the kind of book that I should have found useful when I was beginning my own study of psychology. That was nearly thirty years ago; and I read Bain, and the Mills, and Spencer, and Rabier, and as much of Wundt as a struggling acquaintance with German would allow. Curiously enough, it was a paragraph in James Mill, most unpsychological of psychologists, that set me on the introspective track,—though many years had to pass before I properly understood what had put him off it. ??A book like this would have saved me a great deal of labour and vexation of spirit. Nowadays, of course, there are many introductions to psychology, and the beginner has a whole library of text-books to choose from. Still, they are of varying merit; and, what is perhaps more important, their temperamental appeal is diverse.?I do not find it easy to relate this new book to the older Primer,—which will not be further revised. There is change all through; every paragraph has been rewritten. ??The greatest change is, however, a shift of attitude; I now lay less stress than I did upon knowledge and more upon point of view. The beginner in any science is oppressed and sometimes disheartened by the amount he has to learn; so many men have written, and so many are writing; the books say such different things, and the magazine articles are so upsetting!
Robinson Crusoe's Money
Robinson Crusoe's Money
David A. Wells
¥33.03
David Ames Wells (1828-1898), a prominent American financial economist, political activist and apostle of laissez faire, was a staunch advocate of free trade and the abolition of the tariff. "Wells wrote a large number of books, pamphlets, and articles ...His chief interests were the tariff, the theory of money and the currency question, and taxation. His discussion of all of these took character from his inspection of American economic life, which was marked in his period by progressive lowering of costs of production through the application of science.He, more than others, was the expositor of the nature and consequences of the 'machine age' ... Some of his most effective writing was in opposition to fiat money or depreciated monetary standards.An excellent example of his work in this field is his "ROBINSON CRUSOE'S MONEY", issued first in 1876 when resumption was in doubt, and again in 1896 when the 'free silver' advocacy was in full swing. Wells was among the earliest to appreciate the importance of what has since been known as 'technological unemployment,' the displacing of men by machines ...His writing and speaking was marked by simplicity, candor, and extraordinary facility in the popular adaptation of statistics. His aptness in illustration was as charming as it was effective ..."

Zo Gaat Dat In Rusland: Of Hoe Te Leven Tussen Russen
Maria Konjoekova
¥90.03
Maria Konjoekova’s Zo gaat dat in Rusland, of hoe te leven tussen Russen is niet alleen een grappige, vol zelfspot geschreven handleiding voor het dagelijks leven in Rusland, het is ook een scherpzinnige en praktische gids voor het doorgronden van een land en van mensen die we vandaag de dag overal ter wereld kunnen tegenkomen. Waar komen onze meningen en vooroordelen eigenlijk vandaan? De schrijfster onderzoekt de culturele eigenaardigheden, waarvan het Russische leven doortrokken is, en geeft ook een verklaring voor de stortvloed aan ongebreidelde Russische emoties in alle mogelijke situaties. Zo rekent ze moeiteloos af met de vele misvattingen die er over de Russen bestaan en kweekt op humoristische wijze begrip voor hun, in Westerse ogen, soms onbegrijpelijke gedrag. Konjoekova wil met haar boek preken noch bekeren, ze beoogt daarentegen een brutaal, maar liefdevol inkijkje te geven in de Russische ziel. Eigenlijk is haar boek een minihandleiding voor de mens in het algemeen.
