Jessie je holka, kterou nechtěli. Holka s dramatickým osudem, který se nakonec povede proměnit, i když to je za cenu náročné práce lidí kolem ní a také samotné Jessie. Torey Hayden v knize popisuje složité úsilí o získání důvěry malé holčičky, která už se bojí k někomu přilnout. Jessie neuvěřitelně lže, její lhaní je až patologické a slouží jí jako adaptační mechanismus. Alespoň někdy je za hrdinku, i když si to vybájí, a lži jí mají sloužit k tomu, aby ji někdo bral vážně. Díky vytrvalé terapeutické práci se jí ale podaří tuhle „ochranu“ postupně opustit a stát se tím, čím doopravdy je – malou, citlivou holkou.Torey L. Hayden je autorkou řady velmi úspěšných románů, které představují skutečné příběhy z prostředí škol pro děti s poruchami chování. Pracuje jako speciální pedagožka a rodinná terapeutka. Žije v USA. V Portálu vyšly její knihy Spratek, Dračice a mazánek, Zvíře, Tygřice a Sebranka.

Pokračování knihy Spratek V předchozí knize Spratek se Sheila rozloučila se svou učitelkou a ta o ní neměla několik let žádné zprávy. Když se Torey dozví, že se v letním programu pro děti s handicapem, kde bude pracovat, objeví jako praktikantka studentka střední školy Sheila, přijde jí to nejdříve jako zajímavá náhoda. Záhy zjistí, že to je ta „její“ Sheila a osudy obou hrdinek se na čas znovu propojí. Dospívající Sheila se vyrovnává nejen s tím, že její učitelka zveřejnila jejich příběh knižně, ale také dává Torey a celému okolí najevo, že ona přece není žádná literární postava. Navíc je v ní stále velmi živá bolest z toho, že ji její matka opustila a že neví, kde a jak žije její mladší bratr. Snaží se zapojit do práce v letním kempu pro děti s handicapem, ale bohužel to provede hodně „po svém“ – nechce se jí respektovat pravidla a má dojem, že odhadne lépe než učitelé, co se v dětech skrývá. Její iniciativa „na vlastní pěst“ vyvrcholí tím, že unese chlapce Aleja, který má přejít do jiné školy, aby ho „zachránila“. Její dospívání je plné zvratů, ale Sheila, která se postupně vyrovnává s traumaty z dětství, nakonec vyspěje a je ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Příběh o klukovi, který promluvil Jsou knihy, které pohladí, zatímco jiné jdou čtenáři proti srsti – přesto se od nich ale nemůže odtrhnout. Jednou z nich je další příběh zkušené dětské psychoterapeutky, tentokrát o teenagerovi Kevinovi, který se na začátku románu utíká před lidmi do pomyslné klece stolů a židlí. Pod stolem a chráněn židlemi odmítá komunikovat a nikdo si s ním neví rady. Jeho lékařská anamnéza není k nalezení, není jasné, co se mu přihodilo a kdo mu ublížil. Autorka krok za krokem rozplétá složitý případ dětské úzkosti, která u Kevina vedla k neřízené agresivitě. Dlouhodobá terapie a až neuvěřitelná míra empatie a pedagogické intuice vede k pomalému a těžkopádnému uzdravení zprvu nezvladatelného Kevina, kterému děti přezdívají Zvíře. Torey L.

Eloise je energická a zajímavá dívka, která do Toryina života vstoupí poněkud nečekaně. Má za sebou řadu náročných životních peripetií, na dvanáctileté děvče toho prožila opravdu hodně. Zvládat různá zklamání a traumata jí pomáhá její bohatý vnitřní život, imaginární svět, který je jí útočištěm. Prostředí, ze kterého Eloise pochází, je plné různých sociálních patologií. Otec závislý na drogách skončí ve vězení, laxní matka, které je osud jejích dětí naprosto lhostejný, matčin přítel, jemuž násilí na dětech není cizí. Eloise se ocitne v kolotoči pěstounské péče a snaží se zvládat věci po svém, což ale nedopadne vždycky tak, jak by chtěla. Navíc se u ní vzhledem k pohnutému osudu rozvinou poruchy chování. I když se ale zdá, že Eloise se už ze svého vzorce chování nevymaní, objeví se životní šance. Otec opustil drogy, našel si mladou přítelkyni a má s ní chlapečka. A chtěl by, aby poznal svou starší sestru. Eloise tedy odejde k němu, a i když ani poté není život tak jednoduchý, jak by si možná přála, povede se jí navázat úžasný vztah k malému bratrovi i k partnerce svého otce.

Wells: The Fin-de Siecle-Literary Scene.At the end of the nineteenth century a stranger arrives in the Sussex countryside and mayhem ensues; in the sleepy county of Kent a miracle food brings biological chaos that engulfs and threatens the entire planet. H. G. Wells''s fertile and mercurial imagination never brought us more bizarre and unsettling stories than those revealed in The Invisible Man (1897) and The Food of the Gods, and How It Came to Earth (1904). These are stories of extraordinary physical transformations and are at once extremely funny and richly imaginative. At the same time, Wells poses some very probing questions about the ethical dimensions to science and the human capacity for both pity and cruelty. Brought together for the first time in this new Wordsworth edition, The Invisible Man and The Food of the Gods are two of Wells''s most entertaining and thought-provoking works.

The first comprehensive English collection from one of the world’s most influential mystics—Attar—the twelfth-century Sufi the poet Rumi called his master.Twelfth-century Persian poet Attar (1145–1221) was Rumi’s teacher and, though his work is beloved around the world, he is mostly unknown to English readers. Translated in simple, elegant language by award-winning poet Sholeh Wolpé—one among generations of poets influenced by Attar''s poetry—The Invisible Sun is a beautiful treasury of Attar’s most prescient poetry, offering comfort and inspiration.Attar was one of the most important Sufi poets in the East, comparable in stature and influence to John Milton in the West. In Western thought there is a sharp separation between day-to-day human experience and the transcendence of religion and spirituality. But Sufi philosophy teaches that while the soul awaits its release from the confines of the body, it can experience the other world through mystic union achieved by an inward journey to purify the self.The Invisible Sun widely introduces the work of Attar—the master Rumi called “the spirit” and himself “its shadow”—to American readers as never before. Profound yet exquisite in its simplicity, bringing comfort and wisdom, Attar’s poetry continues to resonate today:Everything, large and small, honors your existence,don’t look at yourself ...

Aerial mining by RAF Bomber Command was a vital part of the Allied war effort – claiming far more tonnage of Axis shipping destroyed than direct attack by either Coastal or Bomber Command itself. Minelaying operations commenced in April 1940 and expanded dramatically as the war progressed, yet today this vital campaign and its wide-ranging achievements against Axis merchant vessels, Kriegsmarine ships and U-boats are virtually unknown.The Invisible Campaign, based on Air Ministry and Admiralty archival material, together with squadron records, veteran accounts and logbooks as well as contemporary publications and press releases, provides the most detailed account of Bomber Command’s minelaying operations and their effects ever written.Historian Jane Gulliford Lowes looks at the aims of the campaign and how it was implemented, together with the measure of its success and how it compared against the mining operations implemented by the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine. The role of Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris in overseeing minelaying operations is assessed and the experiences of the men who delivered the campaign, particularly the hazards they faced, are explored.Featuring a foreword by renowned historian James Holland, The Invisible Campaign - Bomber Command Gardening Operations 1940-1945 sheds new light on a little-discussed but important and ultimately highly ...

If a gorilla walked out into the middle of a basketball pitch, you’d notice it. Wouldn’t you? If a serious violent crime took place just next to you, you’d remember it, right? The Invisible Gorilla is a fascinating look at the unbelievable, yet routine tricks that your brain plays on you.In an award-winning and groundbreaking study, psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons asked volunteers to watch a 60-second film of a group of students playing basketball and told them to count the number of passes made. About halfway through, a woman dressed head to toe in a gorilla outfit slowly moved to centre screen, beat her chest at the camera, and casually strolled away. Unbelievably, almost half of the volunteers missed the gorilla.As this astonishing and utterly unique new book demonstrates, exactly the same kind of mental illusion that causes people to miss the gorilla can also explain why many other things, including why:honest eyewitness testimony can convict innocent defendantsexpert money managers suddenly lose billionsHomer Simpson has much to teach you about clear thinkingInsightful, witty, and fascinating, The Invisible Gorilla closely examines the false impressions that most profoundly influence our lives and gives practical advice on how we can minimize ...

The Invisible Arab traces the roots of the revolutions in the Arab world. Marwan Bishara, chief policy analyst of Al Jazeera English and the anchor of the program "Empire", combines on-the-ground reporting, extensive research and scholarship, and political commentary in this book on the complex influences that made the revolutions possible. Bishara argues that the inclusive, pluralistic nationalism that motivated the revolutions are indispensable to their long-term success. The Invisible Arab is a voyage in time from the Arab world''s ''liberation generation'' through the ''defeated'' and ''lost generations'', arriving at today''s ''miracle generation''. Bishara unpacks how this new generation, long seen as a demographic bomb, has proved to be the agent of progress, unity and freedom. It has in turn used social networks to mobilize for social justice. Bishara discusses how Israel, oil, terrorism and radical Islam have affected the interior identity of the region as well as Western projections upon it. Protection of Israel, Western imperial ambition, a thirst for oil, and fear of radicalism have caused many Western regimes and media to characterize Arab countries and people as unreceptive to democracy or progress. These ideas are as one-dimensional as they are foolhardy. Bishara argues that the Arab revolutions ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A CBC Best Poetry Book of 2022Hail, The Invisible Watchman is haunted poetry—Oliver’s formal schemes are as tidy as a picket-fence and as suggestive; behind the charm of rhyme is a vibrant, dark exploration of domestic and social alienation.The poems in Hail, the Invisible Watchman are as tidy as a picket-fence—and as suggestive. Behind the charms of iambs lurks a dark exploration of domestic and social alienation. Metered rhyme sets the tone like a chilling piano score as insidiousness creeps into the neighbourhood. A spectral narrator surveils social gatherings in the town of Sherbet Lake; community members chime in, each revealing their various troubles and hypocrisies; an eerie reimagining of an Ethel Wilson novel follows a young woman into a taboo friendship with an enigmatic divorcée. In taut poetic structures across three succinct sections, Alexandra Oliver’s conflation of the mundane and the phantasmagoric produces a scintillating portrait of the suburban uncanny.

A lively exploration of the Indigenous traditions of shamanism in the Far North of Eurasia and North America. In this book, Charles Stepanoff draws on ethnographic literature and his fieldwork in Siberia to reveal the immense contribution to human imagination made by shamans and the cognitive techniques they developed over the centuries. Indigenous shamans are certain men and women who can travel in spirit in ways that appear mysterious to Westerners but rely on the human capacity of imagination. They perceive themselves simultaneously in two types of space-one visible, the other virtual-putting them in contact and establishing links with nonhuman beings in their surroundings. Shamans share their experience of spirit travel with their patients, families, or the wider community, allowing them to experience this odyssey through the invisible together. This work will appeal to anthropologists and to anyone with an interest in learning about the power of imagination from the masters of the invisible, the shamans of the Far North.
