In the legends, the Four saved the world from war and poverty. These incredible men walked the lands, seeking an audience with the ruler of each nation. They demanded that mankind focus its efforts on education, trade and culture. No longer would the people face starvation and terror. This commandment was enforced with displays of miraculous power. After all, it is difficult to argue with the Gods. Once finished, the Four left with a promise: If ever your people fall back into darkness, then we shall return. Now, over five centuries later, Sarene grows tired of her village life. Suffocated by the confines of her surroundings and the overbearing protection of her family, she yearns to have an adventure of her own. But the world outside is not as tranquil as it seems. And Sarene is already in danger...

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.

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.

On Liberty is a philosophical work outlining Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state. Mill attempts to establish standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. He emphasizes the importance of individuality which he conceived as a prerequisite to the higher pleasures.

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.

Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Greek states, the Iliad tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.

Ever wondered what to do in polite society if you find an insect in your food? Or how a gentleman should ask a lady to dance? And what on earth is the etiquette for smoking cigars? First published in 1860, Cecil B. Hartley's classic guide to gentlemanly behaviour is a veritable mine of information and indispensable advice for aspiring gentlemen. No matter if a man finds himself at a party, meeting someone new or travelling abroad, he has but to leaf through this book to learn how best to behave, and indeed how not to behave. And if he can find time between his numerous invitations to balls and hunting parties, he could benefit from a perusal of the sections on gentlemanly deportment and conversational technique. Not forgetting, of course, the all-important advice on how to treat ladies, surely an integral part of any true gentleman's training. Published here in a stunning edition alongside The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, this is the perfect gift for the would-be gentleman in your life. While it's an excellent volume for dipping into for hilarious nuggets of outdated advice, this guide also contains advice on all manner of topics, from beard-keeping to chivalry, that are just as relevant today as they were in Cecil B. Hartley's time. As he says himself: 'Once a gentleman always a gentleman' and be sure that you can so carry out the rule, that in your most careless, joyous moments, when freest from the restraints of etiquette, you can still be recognizable as a gentleman by every act, word, or look.

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.

In Sa invingem autismul autorul prezinta principiile revolutionare aflate la baza programului care i-a ajutat pe el si pe cateva mii de familii cu nevoi speciale. Dupa cum arata Raun Kaufman, adesea, autismul este gresit inteles ca o tulburare comportamentala cand, de fapt, este o tulburare social-relationala. El explica, din proprie experienta, ce inseamna sa fii autist si in ce fel Programul Son-Rise da rezultate. Un ghid detaliat cu strategii clare si practice, pe care cititorii le pot aplica imediat – in unele cazuri, parintii observa schimbari la copiii lor in numai o zi – Sa invingem autismul da o sansa acestor copii sa sfideze prognozele initiale pesimiste. Citind aceasta carte, parintii si educatorii invata sa le faciliteze copiilor crearea unor relatii pline de semnificatie si afectiune, sa-i ajute sa-si extinda aria de comunicare si sa participe cu succes la cele ce se intampla in lume. O lucrare importanta in care se impletesc stiinta, progresul si speranta, Sa invingem autismul prezinta ideile valoroase si aplicatiile practice care au schimbat deja vietile a mii de familii din lumea intreaga.? ?Taria cu care autorul crede in Programul Son-Rise, caldura cu care vorbeste si metodele eficiente ii vor incuraja pe cititori sa-i urmeze sfaturile.“ - Publishers Weekly ?Cartea aceasta trebuie citita de toti parintii de copii cu autism. Am asistat nemijlocit la inceputul transformarii miraculoase a lui Raun K. Kaufman prin intermediul programului Son-Rise. Fiica mea, care prezenta toate semnele unei faze incipiente de autism, duce acum o viata normala pentru ca am stiut exact ce sa fac: sa ignor toate predictiile sumbre si s-o angrenez in tehnicile descrise in aceasta carte, care transforma principiul iubirii neconditionate intr-un plan practic si usor de aplicat.“ - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, autorul cartii Puterea intentiei si a altor 30 de titluri

Limbajul, ca func?ie psihic? specific uman?, se afl? la confluen?a mai multor discipline, printre care filosofia, psihologia, neurobiologia, psihopedagogia special?, logopedia. Tulbur?rile sale, fie c? sunt de natur? organic?, func?ional? sau psihologic?, restr?ng capacitatea de comunicare a individului ?i, implicit, via?a lui social?. ?n cartea de fa??, pornind de la modelele explicative ale tulbur?rilor de limbaj ?i prezent?nd metode de evaluare ?i interven?ie a c?ror eficacitate a fost demonstrat? ?tiin?ific, autoarea realizeaz? o deschidere spre tulbur?rile emo?ionale, comportamentale, de ?nv??are ?i nu numai, ?ncadr?ndu-le ?n contextul mai larg al mentalului uman. Propun?nd direc?ii concrete de evaluare ?i interven?ie ?n cazul unor tulbur?ri ale limbajului precum dislalia, b?lb?iala, rinolalia, dizartria, afazia, tulbur?rile de voce, ?nt?rzierea ?n dezvoltarea limbajului, aceast? carte are o important? latur? practic?, ?mbog??ind literatura de specialitate printr-un demers inovator ?i binevenit.

Lumea ?n care tr?im este tot mai schimb?toare. Tehnologia progreseaz? rapid, valorile se transform?, apar ?i dispar profesii cu o vitez? uluitoare. Cum am putea preg?ti ast?zi copilul, pentru lumea ?n care va tr?i m?ine, c?nd, poate, ceea ce pre?uim ast?zi, m?ine va fi dat uit?rii?P?rin?ii oscileaz? adesea ?ntre permisivitate ?i exigen??, ne?tiind care este strategia educa?ional? optim? pentru viitorul copiilor lor. S?-l scutim de orice efort ?i de orice responsabilitate? S?-l ?nscriem la cursuri op?ionale, ?n speran?a de a-i deschide c?t mai multe drumuri? S? insist?m pe disciplin? ?i materiile ?colare??n Calea ?nving?torului, cei doi autori recurg la numeroase exemple din via?a de zi cu zi ?i cercet?ri de ultim? or? ?i, ?ntr-un stil alert ?i atractiv, ofer? solu?ii simple. P?rin?ii nu numai c? se vor bucura mai t?rziu de roadele eforturilor lor, ci vor reu?i, prin intermediul activit??ilor desf??urate ?mpreun? cu copiii, s? creasc? coeziunea dintre ei ?i ace?tia.

Psihologia Sinelui, ?ntemeiat? de Heinz Kohut, este una dintre cele mai importante orient?ri din psihologia, psihoterapia ?i psihanaliza contemporan?. Pornind de la tulbur?rile narcisice de personalitate, frecvente ?n clinica sa din America anilor ‘50, Kohut se distan?eaz? de teoria pulsiunilor elaborat? de Freud pe baza trat?rii nevrozelor, foarte r?sp?ndite ?n Europa ?nceputului de secol. ?n centrul psihologiei sinelui se va afla linia narcisic? a dezvolt?rii psihice, pe care Kohut o consider? prioritar?. Sinele, obiectele sinelui, oglindirea, transferul narcisic iau locul principalelor concepte freudiene. Importantele modific?ri teoretice se concretizeaz? ?n ?nnoiri ale tehnicii, ?ntre care privilegierea empatiei ?n raport cu interpretarea se situeaz? pe primul plan.Sintetiz?nd ?ntreaga concep?ie a lui Kohut, prelegerile interactive sus?inute de el la Chicago la mijlocul anilor ‘70 se adreseaz? psihoterapeu?ilor, psihiatrilor, psihologilor, precum ?i tuturor celor interesa?i de cunoa?terea de profunzime a omului.

ntr-o cultur mercantil i narcisic, puini mai reuesc s triasc o iubire mplinit i autentic, stabil i satisfctoare. i aceasta, pentru c uitm adesea c iubirea, ca orice fel de art“, are nevoie de exerciiu i rbdare, de concentrare i determinare. n aceast carte clasic, Fromm exploreaz diversele chipuri ale iubirii, ncepnd cu forma ei romantic (adesea greit neleas), continund cu dragostea fratern i cea erotic i ncheind cu iubirea de sine i de Dumnezeu, precum i cu dragostea pentru prini i copii. Scris cu jumtate de secol n urm, acest ghid al ndrgostitului rtcit este mai actual ca oricnd, oferind, ntr-un limbaj limpede, ci spre un plus de intimitate, de pasiune i de rezonan afectiv. Lecia lui Fromm este c iubirea ncepe prin a oferi ceva celui drag (bucurie, nelegere, umor, curiozitate sau chiar tristee), prin a drui toate expresiile a ceea ce este viu n noi“.n anii 1970, am fost adeseori martor al felului deosebit n care Fromm i exprima iubirea. O simeam n felul n care ncepea o conversaie cu cineva. i, mai presus de toate, o simeam n felul n care se raporta la soia lui, Annis: cnd o sruta n lift, cnd i lua rmas bun, cnd o privea i o atingea. Capacitatea lui Fromm de a drui iubire poate fi resimit chiar i azi de cei care citesc Arta de a iubi.“ – Rainer Funk, psihanalist i fost asistent al lui E. FrommIubirea nu este n primul rnd o relaie cu o anumit persoan. Ea este o atitudine, o orientare a caracterului care determin relaionarea unei persoane cu lumea ca ntreg i nu doar cu un unic obiect al iubirii. Dac cineva iubete doar o alt persoan i este indiferent fa de restul semenilor si, iubirea sa nu este iubire, ci ataament simbiotic sau autocentrare amplificat.“ – Erich Fromm

Educa?ia poate fi relaxant? ?i distractiv? at?t pentru copil c?t ?i pentru p?rinte, odat? ce de?inem bagajul minim necesar de cuno?tin?e despre etapele dezvolt?rii copilului ?i un set de metode simple ?i eficiente pentru a ie?i din ?ncurc?turi precum crizele de furie ?ntr-un magazin aglomerat sau manifest?rile de gelozie ?ntre fra?i.Interactiv?, clar? ?i instructiv?, aceast? carte ne arat? cum putem stimula imagina?ia, creativitatea, vorbirea sau abilit??ile practice ale copiilor ?ntr-un mod juc?u?, cum ?i de ce s? select?m din noianul de juc?rii de pe pia?? ?i, pe scurt, la ce s? ne a?tept?m ?i cum s? interac?ion?m cu copilul ?n func?ie de v?rsta ?i de pragul s?u de dezvoltare.

Cum se face c? atât de mul?i dintre cei care ?in diete nu reu?esc s? sl?beasc?? Ba din contr?, tind chiar s? dep??easc? greutatea avut? ini?ial. Ce-i deosebe?te pe oamenii care totu?i reu?esc, de ceilal?i? Dar pe cei gra?i de cei slabi? În cartea sa bazat? pe cuno?tin?e din diverse domenii de specialitate ?i pe studii ?tiin?ifice, Sara Gilbert demonteaz? mituri, ar?tând c? succesul pe termen lung al unei diete nu ?ine de voin??, ci de factori personali precum a?tept?ri ?i încredere în sine, sau de circumstan?e sociale ?i familiale. Cititorului i se ofer? strategii de monitorizare a dietei, astfel încât s? fie preg?tit dintru început pentru dificult??ile inevitabile ap?rute atunci când se încearc? schimbarea unor vechi obiceiuri. Este înv??at cum s? recunoasc? emo?iile ?i situa?iile care stau la baza unui comportament alimentar nedorit sau chiar periculos pentru propria s?n?tate ?i s? utilizeze tehnici cognitive ?i comportamentale de gestionare a acestora. Cartea Sarei Gilbert nu propune diete miracol, fiind în schimb un instrument cât se poate de util pentru to?i cei care doresc s? ating? ?i s? p?streze o greutate ideal?.

Reunind extrase din lucr?rile scrise de Albert Ellis pe parcursul a cincizeci de ani, exemple ?i prezent?ri de caz, aceast? carte surprinde evolu?ia g?ndirii p?rintelui terapiei comportamentale ra?ional-emotive, numit totodat? ?i bunicul psihoterapiei cognitiv-comportamentale. Focalizat? ini?ial asupra educa?iei sexuale ?i a libert??ii sexuale, ?n contextul unei societ??i americane destul de stricte la acea vreme ?n ceea ce prive?te nuditatea sau sexul ?n afara c?s?toriei, munca lui Albert Ellis s-a extins treptat asupra unor domenii mai largi ale psihicului uman.Este o lucrare inedit?, interesant? ?i util? pentru psihologii ?i psihoterapeu?ii din indiferent ce orientare, dar ?i pentru nespeciali?ti, care pot avea ocazia s? se familiarizeze astfel cu opera unuia dintre cei mai mari deschiz?tori de drumuri ai secolului XX.
