Terapie přijetí a odhodlání - Steven C. Hayes, Kirk D. Strosahl, Kelly G. Wilson
Komplexní metodologická příručka je prvním a zásadním průvodcem terapie přijetí a odhodlání (ACT) v češtině, napsaným přímo jejími původci – Stevenem C. Hayesem, Kirkem D. Strosahlem a Kellym G. Wilsonem. Od svého vydání se metoda ACT stala široce uznávaným přístupem. Tato kniha přináší její komplexní výklad: od teoretických základů po klinické techniky a zdůrazňuje význam psychologické flexibility jako klíče k překonání mnoha psychických problémů způsobených psychickou rigiditou. Autoři detailně popisují šest klíčových procesů ACT (defuze, přijetí, pozornost přítomnému okamžiku, sebeuvědomění, hodnoty a odhodlané jednání), které pomáhají psychologickou flexibilitu kultivovat. Obsahuje praktická cvičení a terapeutické dialogy, které umožňují lépe porozumět aplikaci ACT v terapii. Druhé, přepracované vydání odráží pokrok v klinických aplikacích ACT a poskytuje nové pohledy na vztahovou dynamiku. Kniha je první vlaštovkou svého druhu v češtině, která má potenciál změnit přístup k psychoterapii a zapůsobit v oblasti péče duševní zdraví.

Začni si věřit - Lisa M. Schab
Dospívání s sebou mnohdy nese pocit, že za nic nestojíme a že nikdy nedosáhneme svých cílů. Jak vystoupit ze začarovaného kruhu podceňování a nedůvěry k sobě samým? Jak si vybudovat zdravou sebedůvěru, která je základem pro řešení různých situací, do nichž se v životě dostáváme? Náš rádce ti pomůže v sebepoznání, v odhalení tvých silných i slabých stránek. Také zjistíš, v čem se liší zdravá sebedůvěra od arogance a sobectví. Osvojíš si způsoby, jak dát najevo své názory, a zároveň jak přitom respektovat postoje druhých lidí. Přijdeš také na to, že přílišná sebekritičnost ti v životě nepomůže. I když se říká, že kdo nic nedělá, nic nezkazí, k tomu, aby se ti povedlo dosáhnout svých cílů, ti pomohou právě strategie obsažené v této knize.Lisa M. Schab, LCSW, působí v Chicagu jako psychoterapeutka. Napsala skoro dvacet knih, které sklízejí velmi kladné ohodnocení. Je členkou Národní asociace sociálních pracovníků.

The Secret Commonwealth - Marina Warner, Robert Kirk
A classic, enchanting document of Scottish folklore about fairies, elves, and other supernatural creatures.Late in the seventeenth century, Robert Kirk, an Episcopalian minister in the Scottish Highlands, set out to collect his parishioners’ many striking stories about elves, fairies, fauns, doppelgängers, wraiths, and other beings of, in Kirk’s words, “a middle nature betwixt man and angel.” For Kirk these stories constituted strong evidence for the reality of a supernatural world, existing parallel to ours, which, he passionately believed, demanded exploration as much as the New World across the seas. Kirk defended these views in The Secret Commonwealth, an essay that was left in manuscript when he died in 1692. It is a rare and fascinating work, an extraordinary amalgam of science, religion, and folklore, suffused with the spirit of active curiosity and bemused wonder that fills Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy and the works of Sir Thomas Browne. The Secret Commonwealth is not only a remarkable document in the history of ideas but a study of enchantment that enchants in its own right. First published in 1815 by Sir Walter Scott, then reedited in 1893 by Andrew Lang, with a dedication to Robert Louis Stevenson, The Secret Commonwealth has long ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Learning the Language of Depression - The Depression Project
In order for people with depression to feel safe and understood, it's essential to overcome depression's "language barrier" As The Depression Project hears every single day from members of their 3,000,000+ person social media community, a “language barrier†often exists between people with depression and those around them — in the sense that many words, everyday expressions and non-verbal forms of communication can take on a vastly different meaning than they otherwise would when they are coming from someone who has depression. And, as The Depression Project also continuously hears, this “language barrier†can result in people with depression being judged and criticized; having conflict with their loved ones; feeling alone, misunderstood and unsupported; and being more at risk of attempting suicide. Consequently, in order to overcome this “language barrier†and therefore help people with depression feel safe, understood, supported and much better as a result. This book will: Explain what people with depression are actually going through when they say “I have depression†(it is much more than sadness); when they say “I'm fine†(very often they are not); when they say “I'm tired†(“depression tiredness†is very different from “normal tirednessâ€); when they say “I can't†(which is ...

The Dawn of the Roman Empire - Livy
''With a single announcement from a herald, all the cities of Greece and Asia had been set free; only an intrepid soul could formulate such an ambitious project, only phenomenal valour and fortune bring it to fruition. (Livy, 33. 33) Thus Livy describes the reaction to the Roman commander T.Q. Flamininus'' proclamation of the freedom of Greece at the Isthmian games near Corinth in 196 BC. Half a century later Greece was annexed as a province of the Romans who burned the ancient city of Corinth to the ground. Books 31 to 40 of Livy''s history chart Rome''s emergence as an imperial nation and the Romans tempestuous involvement with Greece, Macedonia and the near East in the opening decades of the second century BC; they are our most important source for Graeco-Roman relations in that century. Livy''s dramatic narrative includes the Roman campaigns in Spain and against the Gallic tribes of Northern Italy; the flight of Hannibal from Carthage and his death in the East; the debate on the Oppian law; and the Bacchanalian Episode.

The Secret Social Lives of Reptiles - Gordon M. Burghardt, Vladimir Dinets, J. Sean Doody
Covering diverse species from garter snakes to Komodo dragons, this book delves into the evolutionary origins and fascinating details of the mysterious social lives of reptiles. Reptiles have been too often dismissed as dull animals with tiny brains and simple, "asocial" lives. In reality, reptiles engage in a remarkable diversity of complex social behavior. They can live in families; communicate with one another while still in the egg; and hunt, feed, migrate, court, mate, nest, and hatch in groups. In The Secret Social Lives of Reptiles, J. Sean Doody, Vladimir Dinets, and Gordon M. Burghardt—three of the world's leading experts on reptiles—bring together a wave of new research with a synthesis of classic studies to produce the only authoritative look at the social behaviors of the most provocative animals on the planet. The book covers turtles, lizards, snakes, crocodilians, and the enigmatic tuatara. Enhanced with dozens of images, it takes readers through a myriad of social interactions, tendencies, and intimacies ranging from fierce territorial battles to delicate paternal care and from promiscuous pairings to monogamous partnerships.

Impermanant Ways : The Closed Railway Lines of Britain - Kevin Robertson
The change from a red circle to a white circle on an old OS map is indicative of a station closed to passengers but very often open for freight. This was generally a temporary state of affairs being a prelude to ultimate closure of the line. In this, the eleventh in the series, we examine the railways of the pre-1974 county of Berkshire, travelling west to east with a few necessary detours north and south where relevant lines (used to) exist. The date 1974 is particularly important for this volume, as the Local Government Act 1974 which came into force on 1 April 1974 (we will not comment on the choice of this specific day), meant many closed stations and lines were ''moved'' overnight. Branch line changes to Windsor & Henley are considered together with an insight into Berkshires industrial lines. Newbury is spotlighted and, amongst others, Radley - Abingdon is discussed providing a local insight into a bygone age.
