ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lyons, F. S. L. / Amiel, Stephen / Heath, Iona, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Violence within the family, whether directed against children, partners or elders, profoundly disturbs our notions of what the relationship between the family and the discipline of general practice should be. GPs are doctors to whole families and yet their relationships with patients are individual ones, drawing their strength from the principles of confidentiality, mutual trust and positive regard. Violence and abuse within families necessarily challenges all of these, creating a profusion of ethical, interpersonal and practical difficulties and dilemmas. At the same time the nature of general practice confers unique opportunities to deal effectively with family violence. GPs and GP registrars will find this book an invaluable and empowering resource. It brings together a broad range of expertise and opinion from relevant specialties and disciplines and sets family violence in its historical, epidemiological and societal context. It describes in separate sections, child abuse, domestic violence and elder abuse, its presentations, diagnosis and treatment; and suggests ways forward for its prevention and early detection. It draws throughout on the experience of GPs, health visitors and social workers, providing practical safe and workable guidelines.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Virginia, PUBLISHER: Watson-Guptill Publications, What do typefaces and buildings have in common? A great deal, according to typographic design expert, and former university professor, Virginia Smith. Smith believes that typography is the unifying discipline through which we can understand, analyze, and compare form in a wide range of visual mediums. This visually delightful book sets out to prove that point by studying forms--"shapes and their varieties and permutations--"in all of the other design arts. The main focus is on architecture, but the book also looks at fashion, furniture, and common artifacts. Smith believes that there is a "visual landscape" of periods in design, where all of the visual arts treat from in similar ways. "Forms in Modernism--"A Visual Set identifies some of these similarities--"including striping, skewing, stretching, compressing, and elongating--"across mediums. The majority of her examples appeared in the first half of the 20th century, and lasted from early European modernism up through the American mid-century and the International Style. More than just a book designed to prove a thesis, "Forms in Modernism--"A Visual Set provides an interesting visual journey through the signature styles of the last century.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lanigan, Catherine, PUBLISHER: Health Communications, This gripping saga invites readers to embark on the greatest adventure of all: self-discovery. Wings of Destiny is the story of Jefferson Duke, a man completely motivated by his indomitable belief in his ancestor's dream that his destiny is to build the golden city of San Francisco. However, in order to fulfill his ancestral destiny, Jefferson must sacrifice the most precious of life's gifts: his heart. From the moment he sets foot on the shore of the trading post Yuerba Buena, Jefferson creates and perpetuates the lie that leads to his own inevitable destruction. Here the personal and the historical coincide, as the author deftly interweaves Jefferson's downfall with the infamous San Francisco earthquake of . Jefferson's destruction reveals the evil, greed, lust and family revenge between the House of Duke and the House of Su. Only Jefferson's granddaughter Barbara, a journalist for The Call, can root out the facts about the city's graft and corruption, as well as the white slavery that still exists on the Barbary Coast. However, in order to expose these evils and eliminate them, Barbara must betray Jefferson and, ultimately, learn the truth about herself and her own secret past.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Doty, William G. / Doty W., William C., PUBLISHER: University Alabama Press, This challenging interdisciplinary collection of essays sets out to find cultural significance and value in America's post modern society. The book includes analyses of a wide range of contemporary cultural artifacts--poetry, novels, myths, painting, cinematic images--from different vantage points, but especially from the perspective of those working in the area of religion and culture. While the contributors recognize that there are no simple solutions for identifying satisfactory values in today's society, they all emphasize the close kinship between ethics and aesthetics in their interpretations. Imagery of many sorts comes up for a closer look: the imagery of the anti-abortion movement, heroic and mythic figures, rituals, politics, gender issues, and race relations. Giving voice to "difference" and "the other," the essays provide a lively discussion about where our common future is headed and how we can remain responsible to values that are beneficial to the largest number of people.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Daly, Paula, PUBLISHER: Doubleday Canada, A searing and sinister thriller for readers who liked Gone Girl. "What if your best friend's child disappears? And it was all your fault." This is exactly what happens to Lisa Kallisto, overwhelmed working mother of three, one freezing December in the English Lakes District. She takes her eye off the ball for just a moment and her whole world descends into the stuff of nightmares. Because, not only is thirteen-year-old Lucinda missing, and not only is it all Lisa's fault, but she's the second teenage girl to disappear within this small tightknit community over two weeks. The first girl turned up stripped bare, dumped on a busy high street, after suffering from a terrifying ordeal. Wracked with guilt over her mistake and after being publicly blamed by Lucinda's family, Lisa sets out to right the wrong. But as she begins peeling away the layers surrounding Lucinda's disappearance, Lisa learns that the small, posh, quiet town she lives in isn't what she thought it was, and her friends may not be who they appear, either.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Warlick, M. E. / Rosemont, Franklin, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, Surrealist artist Max Ernst defined collage as the "alchemy of the visual image." Students of his work have often dismissed this comment as simply a metaphor for the transformative power of using found images in a new context. Taking a wholly different perspective on Ernst and alchemy, however, M. E. Warlick persuasively demonstrates that the artist had a profound and abiding interest in alchemical philosophy and often used alchemical symbolism in works created throughout his career. A revival of interest in alchemy swept the artistic, psychoanalytic, historical, and scientific circles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and Warlick sets Ernst's work squarely within this movement. Looking at both his art (many of the works she discusses are reproduced in the book) and his writings, she reveals how thoroughly alchemical philosophy and symbolism pervade his early Dadaist experiments, his foundational work in surrealism, and his many collages and paintings of women and landscapes, whose images exemplify the alchemical fusing of opposites. This pioneering research adds an essential key to understanding the multilayered complexity of Ernst's works, as it affirms his standing as one of Germany's most significant artists of the twentieth century.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Koepke, Hermann / Creeger, Catherine E., PUBLISHER: Steiner Books, This book tells the story of how Suzanne, a young teacher at a Waldorf school, copes with the changes her class is going through at the transition from childhood to adolescence. The problems she and the parents of her students must face are familiar to all parents of teens: drug use, smoking, apathy, rebelliousness, moodiness, to name only a few. We accompany Suzanne in her sincere struggle to help her students as she talks to other faculty members and to help parents and then adapts her teaching to the students' changed needs. Suzanne learns much from an older mentor, whose advice and guidance are based on Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science, and so do we. The anthroposophical perspective gives adolescence a new, more meaningful face. Understanding it as part of our destiny and our development toward individuality will help us guide our young people as they take the first uncertain steps on the road to independence. Hermann Koepke, a Swiss Waldorf teacher of many years experience, is well known in Europe. He is also the author of Encountering the Self: Transformation and Destiny in the Ninth Year.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Barrett, Ellen / Holmes, Robert, PUBLISHER: Ulysses Press, Everyone knows that dieting without exercise doesn't work. But not all exercises are equally effective. "Weights for Weight Loss explains why weight training is the best way to get in shape and provides readers with a comprehensive program that will guarantee success. The author dispels the five myths of weight training (fat turns to muscle, lifting makes for bulky muscles, weights are for men, it's easy to get hurt, heavier is better) and details the numerous benefits of building muscle, such as gaining more energy and a more youthful appearance, and -- most importantly -- greater fat loss with less effort. The book features exercises for all levels of fitness, from beginner to advanced. Each exercise is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions and photos that show proper technique. "Weights for Weight Loss's specialty programs include "The 10-Minute Body Blitz," which hits all the major muscle groups; "The 30-Minute Cardio Circuit," where exercises are performed at a fast pace with no rest in between; and "The 30-Minute Super Sculpt," where heavier weights are used for three sets in a row to exhaust muscles one at a time.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Coleman, Slash, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, A compelling coming-of-age tale infused with southern charm, "The Bohemian Love Diaries "chronicles Slash Coleman's upbringing in a warped but loving household of eccentric artists. Descended from a posse of off-beat immigrants--including a grandfather who danced at the Moulin Rouge--and raised in the capital of the Confederacy during the '70s and '80s, young Slash sets out to find true love. Unfortunately, he's his own worst enemy. Obsessions with Evel Knievel, rock band KISS, and a complex addiction to traveling the globe to find the girl of his dreams set him and his quest for happiness on a hapless course. Alternately hilarious and profound, Coleman, a brilliant young artist, comes to terms with his father, a genius sculptor and volatile alcoholic, and his mother, a Holocaust survivor who makes her son promise never to reveal that he's Jewish. A tender, moving portrait emerges of a man whose passionate creative spirit refuses to be suppressed. A swift kick to the funny bone, "The Bohemian Love Diaries" and its laugh-out-loud perversity conjure Jonathan Ames and Augusten Burroughs with a cutting edge that will make you think that Slash was raised in Chuck Palahniuk's attic by John Hodgman. He will leave you howling.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burg, Bob / Mann, John David, PUBLISHER: Portfolio, With their national bestseller "The Go-Giver," Bob Burg and John David Mann took the business world by storm, showing that giving is the most fulfilling and effective path to success. That simple, profound story has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers around the world-but some have wondered how its lessons stand up to the tough challenges of everyday real-world business. Now Burg and Mann answer that question in "Go-Givers Sell More," a practical guide that makes giving the cornerstone of a powerful and effective approach to selling. Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to do something they don't really want to. This mentality sets up an adversarial relationship and makes the sales process much harder than it has to be. As Burg and Mann demonstrate, it's far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers. Cultivate a trusting relationship and focus exclusively on creating value for the other person, say the authors, and great results will follow automatically. Drawing on a wide range of examples of real-life salespeople who have prospered by giving more, Burg and Mann offer tips and strategies that anyone in sales can start applying right away.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Steege, Gwen, PUBLISHER: Storey Books, Knitting is in. Julia Roberts knits, high schoolers are knitting in the cafeteria, urbanites are knitting on the subway, college students are knitting in the dorms, and bookstores are sponsoring knitting groups. Colorful new yarns, the availability of simple patterns, gift giving, stress relief - all are reasons for picking up knitting needles and getting started on a great project. Though knitting is growing in popularity, knitters still want projects that are fast and easy, but ultimately useful and attractive. KNIT MITTENS is a colorful die-cut book that's small enough to tuck into a knitting bag, backpack, or purse. The book begins with an easy-to-understand, illustrated overview of the basic techniques followed by 15 fun project patterns (with instructions for a range of sizes) bound between sturdy, die-cut board covers. Each pattern includes the following: a close-to-life-size color photo of the completed mitten or hat; a brief introduction to the pattern; materials and equipment lists; gauge information; a color chart; special tips and hints; and a detailed drawing of any unusual techniques involved. Because the rich palette flows through each book, knitters can mix and match hats (in Knit Hats) and mittens to create unique sets.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Givner, Joan, PUBLISHER: Thistledown Press, Anne "Tenn" Tennyson Miller's adventure begins during an ordinary ferry trip, but reality soon melts away as Tenn is transported to the fantasy land of Greensward. When she arrives in Greensward, Tenn is elected to rescue her new friend, Una, who has been spirited away to a nearby country occupied by evil forces determined to destroy the harmony of Greensward. Before she sets out on her dangerous mission she is trained by the wise woman, Bethan, who understands the enemy's weaknesses and offers Tenn resources and information that can help her on her mission. Once in enemy territory she uses Bethan's supplies and teachings, as well as her own keen memory and wealth of knowledge, to sustain her quest. She is eventually successful in finding Una but then discovers that there are many other children who must also be saved and returned to Greensward. This classic fantasy quest from established YA author Joan Givner takes young readers on an adventure written in the British tradition, fused with a contemporary voice. Givner alludes to the work of Tennyson, as "Tenn" loves poetry, story and rhyme; in fact it will be her love of great writers that helps her in her quest and leads her to success.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: French, David / Richards, Michael / Richards, Michael, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The rapid proliferation of satellite and cable television in recent years combined with the increasing importance of ideologies of free trade have brought up a number of very important issues. These have acquired particular salience in Asian countries where the ownership of television sets is growing at a phenomenal pace. Focusing on the global and local issues arising from the internationalization of television, this important volume provides an Asian reading of the emerging tensions between commercial realities and the desire to preserve cultural identities. Contemporary Television begins by focusing on two areas of growth--global media and media education. The contributors use the globalization debate to point to the energetic spread of television: the growing size of audiences, ever-hungry for a wider choice of fare, and the importance of the Asian market. They also contextualize the growth of television as a medium of entertainment in this era of globalization and discuss the nature and importance of media education given recent developments. This book also examines contemporary themes relating to television and suggests an agenda for future debates and will be invaluable for students and scholars of mass media, communication, media education, and journalism. Broadcasters and journalists will also be interested in this volume as well as those concerned with the growth of television and its impact on our lives.
