Suitcases and Backpacks
by Chava Kohavi Pines
Suitcases and Backpacksis a testimony of intricate detail that describes a young girl’s survival in ghettos and concentration camps between 1942 and 1945. Readers follow her journey from Vienna to the Theresienstadt Ghetto, then to Auschwitz and to a labor camp near Breslau, followed by the alienation she feels upon returning to Vienna, her subsequent journey to Prague, and, finally, the realization of her dream to immigrate to Palestine. The original edition published in Hebrew has proved interesting to readers of all ages. Chava Kohavi Pines was born Eva Hirsch in 1927 in Vienna, Austria, to a middle-class Jewish family. Since immigrating to Palestine in 1946, the author has resided in Kibbutz Dorot in the northern Negev where she worked as a teacher and counselor for years. Only with forty years’ distance from the trauma of her youth has she been able to write an account of some of her experiences during the Holocaust. An English-language eBook edition was published in late 2014 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons Inc., CA. An Italian edition was published in early 2017 by Edizioni Terra Santa, Milano. 80 pages, 14 x 21.5 cm

Amerikanische Essays
by Miłosz Czesław, Sven Sellmer, Peter Oliver Loew
Die Amerika-Essays, die der polnische Nobelpreisträger Czeslaw Milosz vor fast 40 Jahren veröffentlichte und die nun erstmals auf deutsch erscheinen, haben nichts an Frische eingebüßt. Zehn Jahre, nachdem sich der aus dem Osten stammende Autor ganz im Westen der westlichen Welt, bei San Francisco, niedergelassen hatte, schrieb er ein sehr persönliches Buch, eine Reise zu sich selbst: »Wenn man nirgendwohin zurückkehren kann, muß man das Gegebene akzeptieren. Doch wie soll man damit zurechtkommen? Wie soll man es sich aneignen? Und dabei geht es nicht so sehr um Amerika, sondern um die Zivilisation des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts in ihrer kalifornischen Spielart.« Milosz schreibt über die großartige, aber auch furchteinflößende Natur der amerikanischen Westküste, über die Rolle des Intellektuellen in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft, über Zensur, Henry Miller, Herbert Marcuse, die Religion und immer wieder über den Mythos Amerika. Ein großartiges Panorama seiner Zeit und ein persönliches Bekenntnis zugleich. Die New York Times schrieb: »Milosz klingt wie jemand, der Schritt um Schritt direkt aus der Geschichte kommt und verwundert, aber auch dankbar darüber ist, die unhistorische Luft Kaliforniens atmen zu können.«

January 2013My Life with Lifers
by Elaine Leeder
My Life With Lifers Lessons For A Teacher: Humanity Has No Bars "I have always been drawn to darkness," Elaine Leeder writes. "I know I always championed the underdog." As a sociology professor at Ithaca College in the 1990s, she began teaching at Elmira Correctional Facility in upstate New York. When she moved to California, that same desire to help led her to the prison education program at San Quentin. Then, inspired by her lessons, a group of Leeder's students approached her about working with a program the prisoners had established to aid in their long and difficult process of redemption and transformation. She accepted. These members of New Leaf on Life-the San Quentin "lifers"-have been sentenced to terms ranging from fifteen years to life in prison. Unlike Death Row inmates, who will either die in prison or be executed, many of the lifers are eligible for parole after having spent twenty to thirty years behind bars. But too often, they never see that opportunity because of the popular view that they are all "hardened criminals," killers incapable of rehabilitation and unfit to be free. What Leeder has learned, however, is that incarceration does not dictate character. Her students, although they are convicts, are committed to making their time in jail a life sentence in the best sense, not a death sentence. They have gone the extra mile to come to terms with their crimes, and have often managed to redeem their lives. My Life With Lifers shares the journey of a woman "on the outside" as she discovered the true nature of life in prison, and the roadblocks-so many of them unneeded-on the inmates' path to freedom. What Leeder's experiences add up to is both a fascinating human story and a reasoned and impassioned case for prison reform.

PsychologyACT: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
With ACT Questionnaires for Clinical Assessment, 100 Questions
by Paolo Moderato, Giovambattista Presti, Francesco dell’Orco
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychotherapeutic intervention based on experimental evidence. Its goal is to help people implement concrete behaviors in accordance with their values even in the presence of diffcult or interfering events. The authors clearly describe how ACT works and provide useful guidance for clinical practice. Soon the concepts of fusion and defusion become familiar and the Hexafex a way of thinking rather than appearing as a mere scheme. Acceptance and commitment replace refusal and renunciation: this is the innovative therapeutic challenge of ACT. This manual, enriched with metaphors and exercises that can be used in a therapeutic session, is intended for reading by specialists by tackling the themes of this approach with rigor and depth, taking the reader step by step into the heart of ACT. The appendix contains seven ACT questionnaires for clinical assessment.

Heal an infidelity and renew your love pacts so as not to suffer
by Tere Díaz Sendra
Is fidelity an agreement with an expiration date?Does infidelity always involve heartbreak and conflict?After we discovered an infidelity, is it possible to repair and restore trust?Living a committed and loving relationship is a deeply human longing. The issue ofinfidelity (a frequent love conflict) must be addressed by integrating thecontradictions and ambivalences of human nature, particularly on the topic oflove. Infidelity is a very complex phenomenon that is characterized by theexistence of a “villain” and a “victim”. Many times it is explained in a moralistic wayand that prevents exploring the motivations that drive it, the beliefs that supportit and the procedures that complicate it. Love requires commitment andcertainties, while erotic desire opens different paths within the same territory oflove. The correct management of these two forces is key to understanding andovercoming infidelity.
