![]() ![]() Author: Kiendl Anthony, Chhangur Emelie, Hill Richard William Publisher: ABC Art Books Canada Distribution This publication accompanies Terrence Houle's first major solo exhibition, an installation inspired by his own father's experiences. Houle's father grew up on the Sandy Bay Reservation in Manitoba, attended Residential School, before spending the rest of his time learning the traditions of the Salteaux (Ojibway) First Nations People. Joining the Canadian Armed Forces at a time when Aboriginal men were rare in the service, he traveled around the world, writing to his mother weekly. Offering insight into a young Native man's journey and relationship with his Ojibway mother, this work speaks of home, connection, place, and time. The term Give'r is particular to rural areas and means 1.) to work very hard. 2.) to get wasted and rock as hard as possible. 3.) To finish a job or task in an efficient and quick manner. Based in Calgary, Terrence Houle works in photography, painting, drawing, video, new media, performance and installation. His work has been featured at the National Gallery of Canada, MASS MoCA, and Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Fe. € 26,80

![]() ![]() Author: Foster Douglas A., Blowers Paul M., Dunnavant Anthony L., Williams D. Newell Publisher: Eerdmans Pub Co With roots in British and American endeavors to restore apostolic Christianity, the Stone-Campbell Movement drew its inspiration from the independent efforts of nineteenth-century religious reformers Barton W. Stone and the father-son team of Thomas and Alexander Campbell. The union of these two movements in the 1830s and the growth of the new body thrust it into a place of significance in early nineteenth-century America, and it quickly spread to other parts of the English-speaking world. From its beginnings the Movement has developed into one of the most vital and diverse Christian traditions in the world. Today it encompasses three major American communions -- Churches of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Christian Churches/Churches of Christ -- as well as united churches in several other countries. Over ten years in the making, The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement offers for the first time a sweeping historical and theological treatment of this complex, vibrant global communion. Written by more than 300 contributors, this major reference work contains over 700 original articles covering all of the significant individuals, events, places, and theological tenets that have shaped the Movement. Much more than simply a historical dictionary, this volume also constitutes an interpretive work reflecting historical consensus among Stone-Campbell scholars, even as it attempts to present a fair, representative picture of the rich heritage that is the Stone-Campbell Movement. Scores of photographs and illustrations (many quite rare) enrich and enliven the text, and an extensive, carefully prepared index facilitates ready access to important information throughout the volume. The Encyclopedia of the Stone-Campbell Movement -- a standard reference work for religious, academic, public, and personal libraries everywhere. Features of this encyclopedia:

![]() ![]() Author: Shakespeare William, Dawson Anthony B. (EDT), Yachnin Paul (EDT) Publisher: Oxford University Press Written in 1595, Richard II occupies a significant place in the Shakespeare canon, marking the transition from the earlier history plays dominated by civil war and stark power to a more nuanced representation of the political conflicts of England's past where character and politics are inextricably intertwined. It is the first of four connected plays--including 1 Henry IV, 2 Henry IV, and Henry V--generally considered Shakespeare's finest history plays. The drama of Richard II centers on the power struggle between the grandiloquent King Richard and the plain-spoken, blunt Henry Bolingbroke, who is banished from Britain at the beginning of the play. But when Henry's father John of Gaunt dies, Richard confiscates his property with no regard to his son's rights, and Bolingbroke returns to confront the king, who surrenders his crown and is imprisoned in Pomfret Castle, where he is soon murdered. This new edition in the acclaimed Oxford Shakespeare series features a freshly edited version of the text. The wide-ranging introduction describes the play's historical circumstances, both the period that it dramatizes (the start of the 'wars of the roses') and the period in which it was written (late Elizabethan England), and the play's political significance in its own time and our own. It also focuses on the play's richly poetic language and its success over the centuries as a play for the stage. Extensive explanatory notes help readers at all levels understand and appreciate the language, characters, and dramatic action and the book's lively illustrations provide a sense of the historical background and performance of the play. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more. € 12,40

C., in un periodo di forti tensioni per l'impero romano, a Cesarea, in Palestina, videro la luce due opere straordiarie, oggi purtroppo perdute: gli 'Hexapla' di Origene e la 'Cronaca' di Eusebio. Gli 'Hexapla' raccoglievano, su più colonne, le principali traduzioni greche del Vecchio Testamento e il loro originale ebraico; la 'Cronaca' narrava in parallelo le vicende storiche di Greci, Romani, Ebrei e degli altri popoli presenti nella Bibbia. Gli autori ricostruiscono la genesi delle due opere, la loro forma libraria, l'ambiente culturale in cui videro la luce, grazie a tutti gli indizi che la filologia e l'archeologica permettono di recuperare. Il racconto delle imprese di Origene ed Eusebio, con tutte le difficoltà affrontate e le innovazioni tecniche e intellettuali conseguite, tratteggia uno straordinario affresco storico, che svela al lettore la natura più profonda delle radici culturali dell'Occidente. € 29,00

(CON) Publisher: Boydell & Brewer Inc On November 11, 1878, Rossetti wrote to Watts-Dunton: `Friday night exactly made a year since my return to London in 1877 & you know how well I have been the whole of that time.' Indeed, in 1878-79, Rossetti lived what might appear to be a more tranquil version of his first years at Cheyne Walk. The long breach with Ford Madox Brown finally ended, and he began to see his brother regularly again; and he managed to complete a number of commissions, and other paintings. However, as the correspondence collected here show, his depression was seldom far away; he was often unable to work. His repeated letters to Watts-Dunton and Shields, asking them to come over, reveal his need for companionship, preferably in his own home, that was a constant of his character. There are also a number of letters to Jane Morris. € 158,80

![]() ![]() Author: Cunningham William, Sellars Nigel Anthony (INT) Publisher: Univ of Oklahoma Pr These days, rural Oklahoma is the last place anybody would look for leftist revolutionaries, but in 1917 the area exploded into full-blown insurrection. The state's tenant farmers, many of whom were Socialist Party members, viewed the Great War in Europe as a conflict that benefited only the rich. When the federal government enacted a draft, an uprising in eastern Oklahoma saw local townspeople skirmishing with rebellious farmers, including whites, blacks, and American Indians. More than 250 men were arrested — some sentenced for up to ten years' imprisonment. This is the backdrop of William Cunningham's powerful novel The Green Corn Rebellion. First published in 1935, it tells the story of Jim Tetley, who wants simply to be a good farmer — if the banks will only let him. As Jim copes with poverty, family rivalries, and community tensions, he must also weigh the need to respond to the call for armed rebellion. Although the insurrection itself succeeded only in undermining the socialist movement and fueling the Red Scare of the 1920s, Cunningham's incendiary writing has been compared to that of Erskine Caldwell. A uniquely American story with roots set deep in Oklahoma soil, The Green Corn Rebellion will attract all readers interested in the state's tumultuous history and in populist causes. € 18,10

Ph.D., Weideman Rene Publisher: Amer Psychological Assn This is a remarkably comprehensive and articulate synthesis of 25 years of research and clinical innovation in the group therapy of patients suffering from complicated grief and loss. Much of the science that has shaped the practice of contemporary group therapy has emerged from the creative work of this outstanding team of clinician-scientists. This text is an accessible crafting of that work for students, therapists, and researchers.---Molyn Leszcz, MD, FRCPC, Psychiatrist-in-Chief, Mount Sinai Hospital, Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Health Complex, and Professor of Psychiatry, and Head, Group Psychotherapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Piper and his colleagues preview their work with brief group therapy for complicated grief using supportive and exploratory techniques, with an extensive review of research on treatment of grief. They suggest that different techniques have different therapeutic effects when patients are assessed by their quality of object relations. This is a must-read for those working with this population.---Walter Stone, PhD, Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH This outstanding book on therapy for complicated grief is written by a highly esteemed team of experts. Based on a range of sophisticated studies and a wealth of clinical experience, the book provides readers with unique knowlege and unusual clinical wisdom. Professionals, researchers, and lay readers alike will find this book fascinating and helpful in their relationships with people suffering from complicated grief.---Zipora Shechtman, PhD, Professor, Counseling and Human Development, Haifa University, Mount Carmel, Haifa, Israel; Associate Editor of Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice This volume, the culmination of decades of meticulous, rigorous, and systematic study of the effectiveness of group therapy for patients suffering from complicated grief reactions, impressively illustrates how research and practice-domains too often split off from each other-can be sensitively bridged. These clinical researchers are not content merely to demonstrate which models of group therapy work; they also show how and for whom these models works.---Les R. Greene, PhD, Editor, International Journal of Group Psychotherapy Although a certain amount of grief is expected and normal following the loss of a loved one, many people experience particularly intense or long-lasting grief, or complicated grief. Up to 20% of acutely bereaved individuals and 33% of psychiatric outpatients suffer from complicated grief. Furthermore, as the baby boom generation ages, the number of people experiencing complicated grief will likely increase. One of the most cost-effective, research-supported treatments for complicated grief is short-term group therapy. This approach not only treats more patients with fewer resources but also capitalizes on the unique and powerful therapeutic factors associated with group therapy. Over the past 22 years, Piper and colleagues have developed and tested two models for treating complicated grief with short-term group therapy. Extensive randomized, controlled clinical trials have demonstrated significantly higher effect sizes for the model treatments than other complicated grief treatments, including individual therapy approaches. This book begins with a meticulous review of research related to complicated grief, including prevalence, risk factors, effects of patient characteristics and group composition on therapeutic outcome, and mechanisms of change in group therapies for complicated grief. The authors share invaluable practical guidance on assessing patients, forming groups, preparing group members for treatment, and running and terminating the group. This book is essential reading for all clinicians and researchers interested in complicated grief, group therapy, and short-term therapy as well as for administrators and managers responsible for the delivery of health care services. € 26,50

Publisher: Rizzoli La rapida e universale diffusione di Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia online a cui tutti possono accedere e collaborare liberamente, è diventata la metafora di un nuovo modo di concepire l'economia e il business: la wikinomics. È il mondo della collaborazione, della comunità, dell'auto-organizzazione che si trasformano in forza economica collettiva di dimensioni globali. È il luogo in cui consumatori, lavoratori, fornitori, business partner e anche concorrenti sfruttano la tecnologia per innovare insieme. Questa nuova partecipazione 'peer production' - sta cambiando il modo in cui beni e servizi vengono inventati, prodotti, commercializzati e distribuiti su scala globale. La 'wikinomics', come la rete, è in espansione continua. Per questo questa seconda edizione è stata aggiornata con una prefazione che dà conto di quanto accaduto dall'uscita della prima, un capitolo dedicato alle critiche rivolte alla wikinomics e al suo 'lato oscuro' e un nuovo capitolo, scritto in collaborazione con i lettori, che analizza gli strumenti e le strategie che le aziende devono adottare per approfittare delle opportunità offerte dalla collaborazione di massa. Perché la wikinomics non si ferma mai. € 11,90
