        Fearless Parenting Makes Confident Kids

        Fearless Parenting Makes Confident Kids

        by Shulamit Blank & Orly Fuchs-Shabtai

        Fearless Parenting is about parental authority in modern timesand its pivotal role in raising self-reliant, compassionate, and ethical children, and in preventing behavioral and even severe psychiatric disorders.   The last generation witnessed a backlash against disciplining children. We as parents are told to engage in negotiation with our kids about their behavior. We are afraid to be tough with them in case they won't love us or worse—break down. As a result, families today face severe behavior problems at earlier ages, and parents throw up their hands in resignation. The main theme and objective of this book is to prove that setting and enforcing reasonable and appropriate boundaries, combined with learning and education, could save parents' relationships with their kids and literally save children’s lives.   The book is unique in that it presents in a direct, simple, and yet profound way, real case studies and situations commonly encountered, along with severe cases of drug abuse, delinquencies, and mental disturbances. All cases are shown to respond very well to authority and boundaries adjusted to the specific situation and behavior. The book contains numerous references to professional material for the more advanced reader and derives inspiration from ancient philosophers and religious thinkers.   Shulamit Blank, M.D, is a pediatrician and psychiatrist, specializing in child and adolescent behavioral disturbances. Dr. Blank is the founder and, since 1993, CEO of a community-based educational and treatment facility in Israel for children and adolescents with severe psychiatric and behavioral disorders, in which she is successfully implementing her methods, preventing psychiatric hospitalization and incarceration, and minimizing the use of psychiatric drugs through teaching and education adjusted to the child's specific problems, such as ADHD, learning disabilities, etc. Due to her breakthrough approach, Dr. Blank is well-recognized and fully involved in the professional community worldwide. Dr. Blank has three children and seven grandchildren and resides with her spouse near Tel Aviv.   Orly Fuchs-Shabtai is a clinical psychologist. In 2006 she established a national program for the prevention of child violence. There are about thirty-five counselors from the therapeutic field in the program, which provides counseling to hundreds of families each year and to teachers of preschool through elementary school. Fuchs-Shabtai is the mother of three grown-up children and lives in Tel Aviv.   The authors strive to follow the ancient wisdom of the biblical aphorism: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).   An English-Language eBook  was published in fall 2014 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA.

        Maniac haikus

        by Rubén Bonet

        Although this is a collection of aphorisms, plus manifest, plus short stories, the book achieves its homogeneity due to the extreme and sarcastic sense in its style. Probably the manifesto "Adopt a writer" is one of the texts with the highest sense of humor that has been published lately; although the writer himself and other artists would see this text not as something funny, but as a real option for the survival of the arts in general. Jaikús maniacos (collection of playful and anarchist writings) represents Rubén Bonet’s personal return to the scene.

        Los hilos subterráneos /The underground threads (Poetry)

        by Alejandro Sebastiani Verlezza

        "The tremors between the past and the present of his journeys, is what in turn allows the author, in addition to the transgressions, the sinuous passage between genres and a kind of fusion, by rupture and continuity, of concerns more recurrent of his literary production and of his interest in the imagery of the visual arts. In a more specific sense it is a repository of books, poetry books, notebooks of aphorisms, of reflections and literary celebrations ... ", Victoria de Stefano .

        Jet Lag

        by Ari Volovich

        Are they chronicles, reportages, stories? Yes. Autobiographical and no. In them the author travels anguishly from hell in the Middle East to the Mexican semitropical hell; from the eternal Arab-Israeli war to the war against-between the narco that could become eternal. Based on aphorisms and experiential narratives from negativity, each story breaks nationalist paradigms and shows why there is no a single way of seeing things.

        La economía de la peste y del apocalipsis

        by Amador, Edgar

        In times of crisis, enlightening voices are needed. The voice of Edgar Amador is enlightening. Under the difficult art of coining aphorisms, he theorizes about this unthinkable and inscrutable crisis in order to, starting from etymological and economic principles and postulates, relentlessly conclude. Will of concept, will of synthesis, will of systematic and logical reasoning, and will of style run through these pages of The Economy of Plague and Apocalypse in a return to the original, to the essence, as opposed to fiction and invention, like a Plato who wants to take us out of the appearances and shadows of the cave to reveal to us the true Being of Economy.

        Karl Kraus

        ´The Dissenter

        by Jens Malte Fischer

        At the age of 25 he founded Die Fackel, which he wrote alone from 1911 to 1936; Die Letzten Tage der Menschheit (The Last Days of Mankind) was a radical reckoning with the First World War, Die Dritte Walpurgisnacht (The Third Walpurgis Night) took issue with Hitler. According to Elias Canetti, Karl Kraus was “the greatest and most caustic man living in Vienna today.” Kraus, born in 1874 in JičÍn in Bohemia, died in 1936 in Vienna: for some he was God, for others the devil incarnate. His name has remained legendary, but what he represented is beginning to fade. Jens Malte Fischer now brings him into the present with this compre-hensive biography. Kraus’s personality and work, his friends and enemies, aphorisms and antagonisms are brought to life to reveal one of the greatest writers of his time and beyond.

        Between Truth and Fiction

        A Narrative Reader in Literature and Theology

        by David Jasper, Allen Smith

        Providing students with an array of original texts spanning from the Bible into the present, Between Truth and Fiction guides the reader through exercises in interpretation and reflection. With each reading chosen to introduce different forms of theological thinking, this volume raises questions about how we read—and how that affects theological thinking and practice. Intentionally blurring the hard distinctions between "truth" and "fiction," the book is divided into genres (with often-surprising examples within): literary theology; fiction; autobiography; lyrics, poetry, and songs; drama; essays and aphorisms; sermons; postcolonial literature; feminist literature; and the postmodern text.Includes excerpts from the works of Augustine of Hippo, Anselm of Canterbury, Karl Barth, Dostoevsky, Ian McEwan, Julian of Norwich, C. S. Lewis, T. S. Eliot, William Shakespeare, Meister Eckhart, Graham Greene, Margaret Atwood, Jonathan Edwards, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Thornton Wilder, Martin Luther King Jr., Salman Rushdie, Virginia Woolf, and Dave Eggers, among others.

        This Earth Is Forever

        by Javier Vela

        With a historical landscape close to the present one and in a not-so-different Europe, the damages caused by climate changed have devastated the weakest populations in the old continent. In the South, the temperature raise contributed to a diaspora of thousands of people that now try to find refuge in the Nordic regions. At the same time, Emma and Argus, a couple suffering the fatigue of their daily coexistence in the Swedish island of Frösön, become aware of the decline, previously unnoticed, that has started to take over the Scandinavian map. The arrival of Hugo, a boy from a country devastated by fires and floods, will be decisive in their lives, although he will still need to overcome the sequels of the exile that marks his character. This Earth Is Forever, with climate change and the far-right rise as a background, is mainly a psychological and introspective novel that we could classify as climate fiction.

      • On Second Thought: How Ambivalence Shapes Your Life

        On Second Thought: How Ambivalence Shapes Your Life

        by William R. Miller

        The rich inner world of a human being is far more complex than either/or. You can love and hate, want to go and want to stay, feel both joy and sadness. Psychologist William Miller—one of the world's leading experts on the science of change—offers a fresh perspective on ambivalence and its transformative potential in this revealing book. Rather than trying to overcome indecision by force of will, Dr. Miller explores what happens when people allow opposing arguments from their “inner committee members” to converse freely with each other. Learning to tolerate and even welcome feelings of ambivalence can help you get unstuck from unwanted habits, clarify your desires and values, explore the pros and cons of tough decisions, and open doorways to change. Vivid examples from everyday life, literature, and history illustrate why we are so often “of two minds,” and how to work through it.

        The Private Adolf Loos

        Portrait of an Eccentric Genius

        by Claire Beck Loos; Translated by Constance C. Pontasch and Nicholas Saunders

        An intimate literary portrait of the infamously eccentric and influential modern architect, told in lively, snapshot-like vignettes. The Private Adolf Loos reveals the personality and philosophy that helped shape Modern architecture in Vienna and the Czech lands. Includes an introduction, supplemental texts, writings by Loos and photographs. The Loos' trip to the French Riviera and his work in France are a significant part of the story.   Recommended to all those interested not only in architecture but also in the dynamic era of twenties and thirties. Not only a recollection of an extraordinary and controversial personality, Claire’s book is also an excellent literary work. She has captured with a brilliant lightness and humor the tedious, but not boring, life beside a somewhat self-centered genius. […] We still feel Loos’ charisma.– “Annoyed on Vacation and Misunderstood on Site: Loos, We Do Not Know Him,” Lidovk.cz   What makes the book most valuable is the fine-grained portrait it provides us of Loos’ last years, of his activities and his preoccupations. […] The English translation of her book, made by Constance C. Pontasch [and Nicholas Saunders], is fluent and accurate, conveying well the tone of Claire Loos’ original (which, in turn, to some extent mimics Loos’ own writing style). Paterson’s introduction and afterword, along with some forty previously unpublished family photographs, add to the story and help flesh it out. It is a richly informative.– Christopher Long, West 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture

        The Last Days of Mankind

        A Visual Guide to Karl Kraus’ Great War Epic

        by artwork by Deborah Sengl; contributions by Marjorie Perloff, Matthias Goldmann, Anna Souchuk and Paul Reitter

        "Eye-catching": Top 10 Anticipated Art Books Publishers Weekly   Garnering critical success over the past four years, Viennese artist Deborah Sengl has exhibited taxidermied rats, drawings and paintings to restage Karl Kraus’ infamous, nearly-unperformable play The Last Days of Mankind (Die Letzten Tage der Menschheit, 1915–22). Featuring Sengl’s entire installation, this edition includes essays that examine her ambitious dramaturgy, which condenses the 10-15 hour drama into an abridged reading of its themes: human barbarism, the role of journalism in war, the sway of popular opinion and the absurdities of nationalism. The Last Days of Mankind offers an agit-prop protest envisioning human folly through animal actors, who become more than human, while confronting a violence particular to humankind, laced with selfishness and greed.   The work is a hundred years old, but for me it is still current. We may not have war in the immediate vicinity, but the war within us is as strong, if not stronger, as it was then.– Deborah Sengl

        How to Think Like Ulysses

        What the Classics Can Teach Us about Life

        by Bianca Sorrentino

        What can the Trojan War tell us about women’s empowerment and immigration? What can the myth of Ulysses tell us about human agency when it is pitted against seemingly unsourmountable circumstances? And what about Orpheus? What can his figure teach us about humanity and its relationship with death? We tend to look at the Classics as dusty, as things from the past, something to study in a college course, but the truth is that they are far more modern than we think, and they can shed a marvellous light on what it means to be humans in the 21st century. Written with a charming levity that cleverly masks years of research, How to Think Like Ulysses is a heartfelt plea to rediscovers the literary wonders of the ancient world and to heed their lesson: life in our contemporary world may be very much different from Athens in the 5th century B.C., but perhaps we didn’t change as much.

        Confrontation and Revival in the Modern Movement

        by Éva Forgács

        “I was unable to put down [this book]; one that will be used by those interested in the field for a long time to come.”– Dr. Oliver Botar, Hungarian Cultural Studies   Insightful essays, monographic texts, and rarely-seen images trace from birth to maturation several generations of Hungarian Modernism, from the avant-garde to neo-avant-garde. Éva Forgács corrects long-standing misconceptions about Hungarian art while examining the work and social milieu of dozens of important Hungarian artists. The book also paints a fascinating image of twentieth-century Budapest as a microcosm of the social and political turmoil raging across Europe up to and beyond the collapse of the Soviet Era.
