Title :
Sins and NeedlesAuthor: Materson Ray, Materson Melanie Publisher: Algonquin Books Ray Materson wanted to be a priest when he grew up. He was an A student and sixth-grade class president. But in college Ray began drinking, which led to drug experimentation, which devolved to an addict's life of living fix to fix. Finally, petty acts of theft and the end of loans from friends led to carjacking with a toy gun and a sentence of twenty-five years behind bars. One miserable day in prison, Ray remembered an image of his grandmother sitting on the porch with her embroidery. At about the same time, the University of Michigan was to play in the Rose Bowl. Improvising a needlework hoop, Ray made a maize-and-blue Michigan M so he could officially cheer his team to victory. Soon Ray was sewing small flags and emblems using threads pulled from socks for pieces commissioned by fellow inmates, who paid him with cigarettes. Over time his work became more intricate-miniature masterpieces that told stories from his past and illustrated his dreams for the future. In stitching his artwork, Ray found hope and salvation. Enter Melanie, a woman who sees Ray's work in a local exhibition and writes him a fan letter. Ultimately she marries him while he's still in prison. With Melanie's encouragement and perseverance, Ray's artwork gains national attention and is a smash hit. To this day, his work is represented by the American Primitive Gallery in New York. Illustrated with fifty pieces of Materson's artwork, Sins and Needles is the riveting story of Ray's journey-of how a broken man manages to put the pieces of his life together in a most unexpected way. € 19,40

Title :
Nature's Perfect FoodAuthor: Dupuis E. Melanie Publisher: New York Univ Pr For over a century, America's nutrition authorities have heralded milk as 'nature's perfect food,' as 'indispensable' and 'the most complete food.' These milk 'boosters' have ranged from consumer activists, to government nutritionists, to the American Dairy Council and its ubiquitous milk moustache ads. The image of milk as wholesome and body-building has a long history, but is it accurate? Recently, within the newest social movements around food, milk has lost favor. Vegan anti-milk rhetoric portrays the dairy industry as cruel to animals and milk as bad for humans. Recently, books with titles like, 'Milk: The Deadly Poison,' and 'Don't Drink Your Milk' have portrayed milk as toxic and unhealthy. Controversies over genetically-engineered cows and questions about antibiotic residue have also prompted consumers to question whether the milk they drink each day is truly good for them. In € 27,30

Title :
Benessere e salute del bambinoAuthor: Mannoni Melania Publisher: Xenia I bambini sono fra gli esseri più indifesi e sensibili: che cosa fare quando la loro salute vacilla? Una naturopata esperta ha raccolto per le mamme più attente i più validi suggerimenti forniti dalle medicine naturali e ne ha fatto un dizionario completo delle malattie dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza e delle loro possibili terapie. I rimedi consigliati sono innanzitutto un'alimentazione idonea a ogni disturbo, con particolare attenzione agli integratori alimentari e alle pietanze curative. Grande importanza hanno poi i suggerimenti basati sulla fitoterapia, sull'aromaterapia, sugli oligoelementi e sui sali di Schussler. Non mancano le indicazioni terapeutiche sull'argilla per uso esterno e interno. Dalla voce 'Acetone' alla voce 'Verruche', per un repertorio di circa settanta malattie, i consigli sono sempre esaurienti e dettagliati: molte volte sono sufficienti per superare da soli il disturbo del bambino, altre volte sono di complemento alle terapie prescritte dal medico. In ogni caso, affidandosi alla natura non si può che guarire. € 8,90

Title :
Narrative ImpactAuthor: Green Melanie C. (EDT), Strange Jeffrey J. (EDT), Brock Timothy C. (EDT) Publisher: Taylor & Francis The impact of public narratives has been so broad (including effects on beliefs and behavior but extending beyond to emotion and personality), that the stakeholders in the process have been located across disciplines, institutions, governments, and, indeed, across epochs. Narrative Impact draws upon scholars in diverse branches of psychology and media research to explore the subjective experience of public narratives, the affordances of the narrative environment, and the roles played by narratives in both personal and collective spheres. The book brings together current theory and research presented primarily from an empirical psychological and communications perspective, as well as contributions from literary theory, sociology, and censorship studies. To be commensurate with the broad scope of influence of public narratives, the book includes the narrative mobilization of major social movements, the formation of self-concepts in young people, banning of texts in schools, the constraining impact of narratives on jurors in the court room, and the wide use of education entertainment to affect social changes. Taken together, the interdisciplinary nature of the book and its stellar list of contributors set it apart from many edited volumes. Narrative Impact will draw readership from various fields, including sociology, literary studies, and curriculum policy. Providing new explanatory concepts, this book: *is the first account on the psychology of narrative persuasion and brings together the relevant conceptualizations from within various sectors of psychology together with the major issues that concern cognate disciplines outside of psychology; *focuses on understanding the mechanisms that underlie the power of public narratives to achieve broad historical and social changes; *offers breakthroughs to the future: the role of 'presence' in virtual reality narratives; the role of 'zines' in females' fashioning of their selves; and the central role of imagery in transportation into narrative worlds; *explains varying roles of emotion in narrative immersion; and *addresses the growing blurring of fact and fiction: mechanisms and implications for beliefs and behavior. € 89,80

Title :
Invidia e gratitudineAuthor: Klein Melanie Publisher: Psycho 'Invidia e gratitudine', pubblicato nel 1957, è la conclusione di quarant'anni di lavoro psicoanalitico di Melanie Klein (1882-1960. Allieva di Ferenczi e poi di Abraham, ella si dedicò fin dall'inizio della sua attività allo studio del bambino mettendo a punto la tecnica del gioco, un metodo di analisi ispirato alla regola freudiana delle libere associazioni, che permette di esplorare e quindi di trattare i disturbi psicologici anche di bambini molto piccoli. Tramite questo nuovo strumento di ricerca la Klein ebbe modo di compiere osservazioni del tutto originali sullo psichismo infantile: infatti, oltre a dimostrare che alcune fasi dello sviluppo psicologico quali il complesso edipico e la formazione del Super-Io sono già attive nei primissimi anni di vita, in anticipo cioè rispetto a quanto postulato da Freud, essa ha individuato nel bambino l'esistenza di processi di scissione, di proiezione e di elaborazione della colpa che testimoniano il difficile lavoro che il bambino deve compiere per difendersi dalle angosce che i prorompenti impulsi aggressivi gli suscitano. L'accento posto sulle problematiche aggressive precoci costituisce un aspetto fondamentale dell'opera della Klein la quale non solo ci dice che la distruttività è un nostro potente impulso, ma che essa ci minaccia fin dalla nascita allorché si presenta nella sua prima veste: l'invidia. € 12,50
