Founded in 1965 and still active today, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) is an American institution with an international reputation. George E. Lewis, who joined the collective as a teenager in 1971, establishes the full importance and vitality of the AACM with this communal history, written with a symphonic sweep that draws on a cross-generational chorus of voices and a rich collection of rare images.Moving from Chicago to New York to Paris, and from founding member Steve McCall's kitchen table to Carnegie Hall, A Power Stronger Than Itself uncovers a vibrant, multicultural universe and brings to light a major piece of the history of avant-garde music and art.

Karl N. Llewellyn was one of the founders and major figures of legal realism, and his many keen insights have a central place in American law and legal understanding. Key to Llewellyn's thinking was his conception of rules, put forward in his numerous writings and most famously in his often mischaracterized declaration that they are "pretty playthings." Previously unpublished, The Theory of Rules is the most cogent presentation of his profound and insightful thinking about the life of rules.This book frames the development of Llewellyn's thinking and describes the difference between what rules literally prescribe and what is actually done, with the gap explained by a complex array of practices, conventions, professional skills, and idiosyncrasies, most of which are devoted to achieving a law's larger purpose rather than merely following the letter of a particular rule. Edited, annotated, and with an extensive analytic introduction by leading contemporary legal scholar Frederick Schauer, this rediscovered work contains material not found elsewhere in Llewellyn's writings and will prove a valuable contribution to the existing literature on legal realism.

Anna Morandi Manzolini (1714-74), a woman artist and scientist, surmounted meager origins and limited formal education to become one of the most acclaimed anatomical sculptors of the Enlightenment. The Lady Anatomist tells the story of her arresting life and times, in light of the intertwined histories of science, gender, and art that complicated her rise to fame in the eighteenth century.Examining the details of Morandi's remarkable life, Rebecca Messbarger traces her intellectual trajectory from provincial artist to internationally renowned anatomical wax modeler for the University of Bologna's famous medical school. Placing Morandi's work within its cultural and historical context, as well as in line with the Italian tradition of anatomical studies and design, Messbarger uncovers the messages contained within Morandi's wax in*ions, part complex theories of the body and part poetry. Widely appealing to those with an interest in the tangled histories of art and the body, and including lavish, full-color reproductions of Morandi's work, The Lady Anatomist is a sophisticated biography of a true visionary.

From the lumberyards and meatpacking factories of the Southwest Side to the industrial suburbs that arose near Lake Calumet at the turn of the twentieth century, manufacturing districts shaped Chicago's character and laid the groundwork for its transformation into a sprawling metropolis. Approaching Chicago's story as a reflection of America's industrial history between the Civil War and World War II, Chicago Made explores not only the well-documented workings of centrally located city factories but also the overlooked suburbanization of manufacturing and its profound effect on the metropolitan landscape. Robert Lewis documents how manufacturers, attracted to greenfield sites on the city's outskirts, began to build factory districts there with the help of an intricate network of railroad owners, real estate developers, financiers, and wholesalers. These immense networks of social ties, organizational memberships, and financial relationships were ultimately more consequential, Lewis demonstrates, than any individual achievement. Beyond simply giving Chicago businesses competitive advantages, they transformed the economic geography of the region. Tracing these transformations across seventy-five years, Chicago Made establishes a broad new foundation for our understanding of urban industrial America.

Take your Haskell and functional programming skills to the next level by exploring new idioms and design patternsAbout This BookExplore Haskell on a higher level through idioms and patternsGet an in-depth look into the three strongholds of Haskell: higher-order functions, the Type system, and Lazy evaluationExpand your understanding of Haskell and functional programming, one line of executable code at a timeWho This Book Is ForIf you’re a Haskell programmer with a firm grasp of the basics and ready to move more deeply into modern idiomatic Haskell programming, then this book is for you.What You Will LearnUnderstand the relationship between the “Gang of Four” OOP Design Patterns and HaskellTry out three ways of Streaming I/O: imperative, Lazy, and Iteratee basedExplore the pervasive pattern of Composition: from function composition through to high-level composition with LensesSynthesize Functor, Applicative, Arrow and Monad in a single conceptual frameworkFollow the grand arc of Fold and Map on lists all the way to their culmination in Lenses and Generic ProgrammingGet a taste of Type-level programming in Haskell and how this relates to dependently-typed programmingRetrace the evolution, one key language extension at a time, of the Haskell Type and Kind systemsPlace the elements of modern Haskell in a historical frameworkIn DetailDesign patterns and idioms can widen our perspective by showing us where to look, what to look at, and ultimately how to see what we are looking at. At their best, patterns are a shorthand method of communicating better ways to code (writing less, more maintainable, and more efficient code).This book starts with Haskell 98 and through the lens of patterns and idioms investigates the key advances and programming styles that together make "modern Haskell". Your journey begins with the three pillars of Haskell. Then you'll experience the problem with Lazy I/O, together with a solution. You'll also trace the hierarchy formed by Functor, Applicative, Arrow, and Monad. Next you'll explore how Fold and Map are generalized by Foldable and Traversable, which in turn is unified in a broader context by functional Lenses. You'll delve more deeply into the Type system, which will prepare you for an overview of Generic programming. In conclusion you go to the edge of Haskell by investigating the Kind system and how this relates to Dependently-typed programming.Style and approachUsing short pieces of executable code, this guide gradually explores the broad pattern landscape of modern Haskell. Ideas are presented in their historical context and arrived at through intuitive derivations, always with a focus on the problems they solve.

Ce este copilul? Copilaria ar trebui considerata a fi un construct social? Care au fost atitudinile adultilor fata de copiii de-a lungul timpului? Pe parcursul cartii descoperim copilul privit a fi un pacatos augustinian, care vrea sa-i domine pe cei din jur, un inocent romantic care inca nu este corupt de civilizatie sau o doar o dovada a fertilitatii cuplului parental, aruncat in bratele doicilor indata ce a venit pe lume. In occident, incepand cu secolul douazeci copiii nu mai erau expusi mortii, abandonului sau batailor in aceeasi masura ca in trecut, iar relatiile dintre parinti si copii s-au indulcit. Scopul cartii de fata este acela de a evidentia problemele speciale din istoria copiilor, pe care o plaseaza in contextul social si ?cultural, fara a pierde din vedere experientele individuale care au ajuns pana la noi prin jurnale, autobiografii si marturii orale. Scrisa intr-un limbaj accesibil, cartea se adreseaza psihologilor, sociologilor, istoricilor si tuturor celor interesati de copii si copilarie. ?

Este posibil? o autoanaliz?? Dac? da, c?nd, ?n ce m?sur? ?i cu ce limite? Putem utiliza tehnicile psihanalitice pe cont propriu, pentru a ne rezolva problemele? Este introspec?ia constructiv? sau mai degrab? inutil?? Acestea sunt ?ntreb?rile pe care le abordeaz?, ?n cartea sa, Karen Horney, al?turi de prezentarea a numeroase studii de caz. Argumente sunt destule, at?t pro, c?t ?i contra: noi ne cunoa?tem cel mai bine pe noi ?n?ine, introspec?ia este constructiv? ?n momentul ?n care o utiliz?m ?n slujba dorin?ei de a deveni o fiin?? mai bun?, mai ?nzestrat? ?i mai puternic?, iar insighturile ob?inute prin autoanaliz? sunt mai bine primite; pe de alt? parte, factorii emo?ionali ?i rezisten?ele constituie o dificultate important? ?n acest demers. Astfel, autoanaliza este, ?n viziunea autoarei, o ?ncercare de a fi pacient ?i analist ?n acela?i timp, metoda de baz? r?m?n?nd aceea?i ca la orice psihanaliz?: asocierile libere. Dincolo de tehnici ?i metode, mesajul este simplu ?i percutant: pentru c? via?a ta este cel mai bun psihoterapeut, crede ?n tine ?nsu?i!Fiecare autoanaliz? reu?it? spore?te ?ncrederea ?n sine, dar exist? ?i un alt c??tig, datorat faptului c? ai cucerit ?n ?ntregime un teritoriu prin ini?iativ? proprie, perseveren?? ?i curaj. Acest efect se manifest? ?n analiz?, ca ?i ?n alte aspecte ale vie?ii. S? g?se?ti de unul singur o c?rare pe munte ??i d? un sentiment mai deplin de putere, dec?t s? mergi pe poteca indicat?, de?i efortul ?i rezultatul sunt acelea?i. O astfel de realizare nu-?i insufl? numai o m?ndrie justificat?, ci ?i un sentiment de ?ncredere ?n propria capacitate de a te confrunta cu situa?ii grele ?i de a nu te sim?i pierdut ?n lipsa ?ndrum?rii.Autoanaliza este o ?ncercare de a fi pacient ?i psihanalist ?n acela?i timp. S? nu uit?m c? acest proces este nu numai suma dintre travaliul analistului ?i cel al pacientului, dar ?i o rela?ie uman?. Faptul c? sunt implicate dou? persoane are o influen?? considerabil? asupra contribu?iei fiec?reia. Pacientul are trei sarcini principale. Prima este s? se exprime c?t mai complet ?i sincer cu putin??. A doua este s? devin? con?tient de for?ele pulsionale incon?tiente ?i influen?a lor asupra vie?ii sale. Iar a treia e s?-?i dezvolte capacitatea de a schimba acele atitudini care ?i perturb? rela?iile cu sine ?nsu?i ?i cu lumea din jurul lui. [...] Dac? pacientul are capacitatea de a lucra singur pentru a g?si solu?ia la o problem?, poate fi oare folosit? aceast? capacitate de o manier? deliberat??

Cum definim ?i cum trat?m tulburarea de reglare emo?ional? Emo?iile sunt o parte important? a vie?ii noastre, afect?ndu-ne major ac?iunile, de?i nu ?ntotdeauna suntem con?tien?i de prezen?a lor. Abilitatea de a ?n?elege ?i balansa emo?iile se nume?te reglare emo?ional? sau control emo?ional. De ce este important? reglarea emo?ional?? Pentru c? reprezint? un element esen?ial pe care se sprijin? civiliza?ia uman?. Interac?iunile dintre oameni depind de modul ?n care sim?im ?i ne exprim?m emo?iile. Conceptul de ?tulburare de reglare emo?ional?“ intervine atunci c?nd apar probleme ?n privin?a controlului emo?iilor. De cele mai multe ori, o persoan? care are astfel de probleme ??i va descrie st?rile aleg?nd etichete precum depresiv, anxios, nervos, sup?rat, agitat. Mult mai rar va apela la nararea autentic? a tr?irilor personale, declar?nd c? este instabil, impulsiv, emo?ional, necontrolat, incapabil de a se calma, u?or de frustrat etc. Cartea lui Radu Vrasti prezint? ?ntr-o form? succint? problema tulbur?rii de reglare emo?ional?, a?a cum se prezint? din perspectiva medicinei ?i a psihologiei clinice. ?n plus, aduce informa?ii de ultim? or? despre cum trebuie ?n?eleas?, definit?, diagnosticat? ?i ?tratat?“ at?t medicamentos c?t ?i psihoterapeutic.

Iubim, ur?m, invidiem, ne dorim ?i sper?m... ne construim scenarii ?n care credem ?i pe care le perpetu?m, ?n care ?i angren?m pe ceilal?i, atribuindu-le roluri mai mult sau mai pu?in importante. Ne l?s?m, la r?ndul nostru, sedu?i ?n pove?tile altora. S? fie acestea "deliruri", ?es?turi psihice, care printr-o analiz? minu?ioas? se pot destr?ma? Atunci, ce se afl? la baza lor ?i cum ni le putem asuma, pentru a ?ntrez?ri ?i, ?n cele din urm?, a locui realitatea obiectiv??Purt?nd cititorul prin lumea interioar? a personajelor unor autori precum Shakespeare, Samuel Butler sau Dickens, c?t ?i prin aceea a propriilor pacien?i, Shengold ilustreaz? felul ?n care aceste deliruri iau na?tere ?n copil?ria timpurie, se men?in s?r?cindu-ne ?i rigidiz?ndu-ne via?a ?i pot fi estompate printr-o maturizare real?, adesea rod al travaliului psihanalitic.

Copiii, aceste ?nc?nt?toare fiin?e, fragile ?i uneori problematice, surs? de bucurie dar ?i de nesomn, ?ngrijor?ri, epuizare... S?-i disciplinezi, dar cum? S-au dus vremurile ?n care p?rintele atotputernic tuna ?i fulgera ?mp?r?ind pedepse, iar libertatea total? oferit? copiilor s-a dovedit, de asemenea, periculoas?. Exist?, ?ns?, o cale de mijloc, iar aceasta este metoda Brazelton.Scris? cu empatie ?i c?ldur? C?l?toria copilului t?u spre autodisciplin? ofer? repere specifice fiec?rui ?punct de cotitur?" din via?a celui mic precum ?i instrumentele necesare gestion?rii unor situa?ii nedorite precum agresivitatea, minciuna, limbajul licen?ios, crizele de furie, fuga de acas?, rivalitatea ?ntre fra?i, lupta pentru putere etc. Este un ghid necesar pentru p?rintele implicat, care dore?te nu doar s? rezolve problema de moment, ci ?i s?-?i doteze copilul cu resursele necesare unei vie?i ?mplinite.

Unul din patru rom?ni sufer? la un moment dat de anxietate, aceasta fiind, de altfel, cea mai frecvent? dintre tulbur?rile psihice din ?ara noastr?. Pentru cei care se confrunt? cu stresul crescut, cu ?ngrijoarea, frica sau panica, autorul ofer? o serie de sugestii pentru de a ?ine sub control anxietatea, chiar ?i f?r? ajutorul medica?iei sau psihoterapiei. Dup? ce discut? despre tiparele mentale care exacerbeaz? temerile (g?ndirea ?n "alb-sau-negru", "catastrofizarea" etc.) ?i despre simptomele somatice ale panicii, autorul propune un larg evantai de tehnici pentru gestionarea anxiet??ii: de la contestarea g?ndurile ira?ionale la medita?ia de tip "minfulness", de la modificarea rutinelor cotidiene de somn ?i alimenta?ie, la exerci?iile fizice ?i de relaxare (imagerie), de la reorganizarea mediului la expunerea treptat? la evenimentele ?nfrico??toare. Cartea se adreseaz? publicului larg, dar e un instrument util ?i pentru psihiatri, psihologi clinicieni ?i psihoterapeu?i.

Cartea prezint? destinele a trei personaje Alfredo, Andrea ?i Fabio. ?Am f?cut-o pentru binele t?u!“, ?Am f?cut-o pentru binele lui!“, formule care se reg?sesc ?n titlul c?r?ii, sunt folosite des ?n via?a real?, ?ns? ascund de multe ori atitudini si fapte reprobabile – minciun?, arogan??, egoism sau am?gire. Acestea sunt ?micile crime“ s?v?r?ite ?n numele iubirii, pe care le red? Gianna Schelotto. Alfredo, protagonistul primei pove?ti, afl? c? a fost adoptat c?nd avea trei ani, dup? ce el ?i fratele lui fuseser? abandona?i de mama lor. Andrea, personajul central din cea de-a doua poveste, este pus de tat?l s?u ?n fa?a unei realit??i nepl?cute. ?n ultima poveste, Fabio, un avocat influent, de aproape ?aizeci de ani, se confrunt? cu perspectiva inevitabilei sale dec?deri dup? ce afl? c? ar putea suferi de Alzheimer. Unii gre?esc prin faptul c? dezv?luie, al?ii gre?esc prin faptul c? ascund: s?ar zice c? situa?ia e f?r? ie?ire. Dar nu faptele individuale sunt cele care produc daune ; ceea ce risc? s? creeze fracturi profunde este ideea c?, de fapt, copiii sunt un fel de prelungire a noastr?, o proprietate exclusiv? de care putem dispune oricum. Orice fapt?, declarat? sau ascuns?, prin care ?ncerc?m s? determin?m persoanele s???i schimbe idei, aspira?ii ?i sentimente este o manipulare, chiar dac? se na?te din dorin?a sincer? de a aduce beneficii s?n?t??ii celuilalt sau de a?i sus?ine bun?starea. ?n rela?iile ?s?n?toase“, schimb?rile ?i dezvoltarea au loc nu fiindc? cel puternic a reu?it s??l conving? pe cel slab, ci numai pentru c? ne?am transformat lu?nd de la cel?lalt ?i d?nd de la sine, ?n mod spontan, experien?e, emo?ii, vise.

Nr . 1 bestseller New York Times ? Carte tradus? ?n 30 de limbi Ce ?nseamn? s? mori cu demnitate? Medicina modern? poate c? g?se?te moduri din ce ?n ce mai eficiente de a lupta cu b?tr?ne?ea ?i cu moartea, dar, ?n cele din urm?, cu to?ii suntem muritori. ?ntrebarea pe care o pune autorul este ce poate face medicina pentru a ?mbun?t??i nu doar via?a, ci ?i sf?r?itul acesteia. Pentru c?, prea adesea, oamenii ??i tr?iesc b?tr?ne?ea ?n scaune cu rotile, ?n aziluri ?n care sunt trata?i ca ni?te copii, sau mor din cauza unor boli grave, chinui?i de medici care nu vor s? recunoasc? faptul c? au fost ?nvin?i ?i care insist? s? ?ncerce pe pacient cele mai revolu?ionare tratamente, ?n ciuda suferin?elor inimaginabile prin care acesta trebuie s? treac? inutil.
