the safekeep yael van der wouden

An exhilarating tale of twisted desire, histories and homes, and the unexpected shape of revenge - for readers of Patricia Highsmith, Sarah Waters and Ian McEwan s Atonement. It s 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is well and truly over.Living alone in her late mother s country home, Isabel s life is as it should be: led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis delivers his graceless new girlfriend, Eva, at Isabel s doorstep-as a guest, there to stay for the season... Eva is Isabel s antithesis: sleeps late, wakes late, walks loudly through the house and touches things she shouldn t.In response Isabel develops a fury-fuelled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house-a spoon, a knife, a bowl-Isabel suspicions spiral out of control. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel s paranoia gives way to desire - leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva - nor the house in which they live - are what they seem.

King Charles II was the father of fourteen illegitimate children (if not more) by seven mistresses. Ironically, his marriage to Queen Catherine, a Portuguese princess, proved childless. The eldest and most notable of his children, James, duke of Monmouth, was effectively excluded from the line of succession. After his father’s death the duke launched an armed challenge for the crown against his uncle, then James II, but was defeated at the battle of Sedgemoor and executed. Some of Charles s other sons, notably Henry, duke of Grafton, Charles, duke of St Albans, and the youngest, Charles, duke of Richmond, took part in military and naval campaigns at home and overseas. Some of his daughters married into various branches of the British aristocracy—though not without occasional scandal—while one married a composer and another took holy orders. In the context of the relaxed morals of the Restoration court, this biography examines the sometimes poorly documented lives of each of Charles’s children, their personal relations with each other, their places in English history, their love affairs, and the lines of descent through which several key figures of the modern British royal family can trace their lineage.

Audiokniha: „Van der Kolk čerpá z třicetileté zkušenosti v oboru a dokazuje, že trauma je jednou z nejnaléhavějších otázek veřejného zdraví. Kniha plná vědeckých poznatků a lidských příběhů je intenzivním čtením a odolnost jeho pacientů dojímá.“ — New Scientist O knize Trauma nelze obejít. Jeho následky zažívají mnozí – možná vy, možná vaši blízcí. Vždy však ovlivňuje životy všech okolo. A není v silách trpícího, aby projevy v podobě depresí, chronických potíží, alkoholismu, sebepoškozování či pocitů studu a osamělosti zvládl bez pomoci. Bessel van der Kolk popisuje s laskavostí a otevřeností příběhy, s nimiž se setkal v klinické praxi, a dělí se o výsledky svých výzkumů v oblasti terapie posttraumatické poruchy. Prokázal jimi, že zanedbávané či zneužívané děti, účastníci nehod a katastrof, váleční veteráni či oběti násilných činů potřebují víc než medikamenty. Skutečné uzdravení vede přes hledání cesty k sobě samým, k vlastnímu tělu, které si v nekonečné smyčce udržuje otisk prožitého utrpení. I díky van der Kolkově práci se lze vydat na možná dlouhou, ale nadějnou cestu k lepšímu a plnějšímu životu. Mimo jiné se dozvíte: - Trauma negativně ovlivňuje tělo i mozek a mění schopnost zažívat radost, důvěru, ovládat se a vnímat své tělo. - V rozvoji vývojové traumatické poruchy hrají roli geny, hormony i rodičovská péče a láska v prvních letech života. - Sebedestruktivní chování je často vyvoláno snahou znovu cítit a získat kontrolu nad svým životem. - Projevy traumatu často dostávají nálepky nejrůznějších diagnóz, terapie je však neúčinná, pokud neřeší skutečnou podstatu potíží. - Trýznění lidé popírají realitu a oddělují se od ní, aby přežili. Přestávají tak chápat, kým jsou, co cítí a čemu a komu mohou důvěřovat. Autor své pacienty vybízí, aby se zapojili do libovolné formy práce s tělem, která napomáhá obnovení zdravého vztahu k sobě i k druhým. V knize proto najdete doporučení na inovativní léčebné postupy od metod neurofeedbacku přes meditaci až po sport, hudbu, jógu či kurzy herectví. Přístupným způsobem tak dává naději všem, kteří dosud trpěli. O autorovi BESSEL VAN DER KOLK (* 1943) Zakladatel a bývalý lékařský ředitel Kliniky pro léčbu traumatu v Brookline v Mas- sachusetts. Působí také jako profesor psychiatrie na Lékařské fakultě Bostonské univerzity a ředitel Národní sítě pro komplexní léčbu traumatu. Žije v Bostonu. #Řekli o knize „Kniha je plná moudrosti, lidskosti, soucitu a zasvěcených postřehů vycházejících z klinické praxe, výzkumu a poznání v oblasti traumatického stresu. Je to nezbytné čtení pro odborníky na duševní zdraví i zdravotní péči obecně, pro traumatizované lidi a jejich blízké. A také pro všechny, kteří hledají řešení zdravotních či sociálních problémů, s jejichž pomocí by naše společnost mohla vystoupit ze začarovaného kruhu traumatu a násilí.“ — Rachel Yehudová, profesorka v oboru psychiatrie a neurovědy působící na Lékařské fakultě Mount Sinai v New Yorku „Tělo skutečně sčítá rány. Van der Kolkova schopnost to doložit pomocí přesvědčivých příběhů, jeho průkopnické úsilí a zkušenosti s vývojem v oboru i jeho vlastní poznání, a především objevování cest, jak s lidmi účinně pracovat na základě všímavosti k tělu (stejně jako k myšlenkám a emocím) skrze jógu, pohyb a divadlo, znamenají pro svět terapie úžasný a vítaný závan čerstvého větru a možností.“ — Jon Kabat-Zinn, autor knihy Život samá pohroma Citace z knihy „Od počátku 90. let minulého století nám zobrazovací metody mozku umožnily vidět, co se v mozku traumatizovaných osob ve skutečnosti děje. Ukázalo se to jako nezbytnost k pochopení újmy způsobené traumatem a nasměrovalo nás to k vypracování zcela nových způsobů nápravy (…). Zjistili jsme, že trauma není jen určitá událost, která se odehrála v minulosti. Je to rovněž otisk této zkušenosti, který ulpěl v naší mysli, mozku a těle. Tento otisk trvale ovlivňuje způsob, jakým lidský organismus funguje, aby přežil v současnosti. Trauma zásadně mění způsob myšlení a zpracovávání vjemů mozkem. Mění nejen to, jak myslíme a na co myslíme, nýbrž i samotnou schopnost myšlení.“ Více se o knize dozvíte na adrese https://melvil.cz/telo-scita-rany

An investigation of what it means to have children⠔morally, philosophically and emotionally⠜Do you want to have children?⠝ is a question we routinely ask each other. But what does it mean to create a child? Is this decision always justified? Does anyone really have the moral right to create another person? In Begetting, Mara van der Lugt attempts to fill in the moral background of procreation. Drawing on both philosophy and popular culture, van der Lugt does not provide a definitive answer on the morality of having a child; instead, she helps us find the right questions to ask. Most of the time, when we talk about whether to have children, what we are really talking about is whether we want to have children. Van der Lugt shows why this is not enough. To consider having children, she argues, is to interrogate our own responsibility and commitments, morally and philosophically and also personally. What does it mean to bring a new creature into the world, to decide to perform an act of creation? What does it mean to make the decision that life is worth living on behalf of a person who cannot be consulted? These questions are part of a conversation we should have started long ago. Van der Lugt does not ignore the problematic aspects of procreation⠔ethical, environmental and otherwise. But she also acknowledges the depth and complexity of the intensely human desire to have a child of our own blood and our own making.

Trauma nelze obejít – ale lze ho pochopit a léčit. Ve své oceňované knize nabízí Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, přední světový odborník na trauma, hluboký vhled do podstaty posttraumatických potíží a cest k uzdravení. Více než tři desetiletí klinické praxe s oběťmi traumat mu umožnilo formulovat přístup, který dává naději nejen trpícím, ale i jejich blízkým a pečovatelům.Deprese, chronické bolesti, alkoholismus, sebepoškozování, obezita, stud a osamělost – následky traumatu mají mnoho podob a ovlivňují nejen jednotlivce, ale celé jejich okolí. Van der Kolk s empatií popisuje příběhy pacientů i výsledky svých výzkumů a dokládá, že skutečné uzdravení vyžaduje víc než léky. Cesta vede skrze znovunavázání kontaktu se sebou samým a vlastním tělem, které si nese otisk prožitého utrpení.V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: Prožité trauma mění fungování mozku, schopnost ovládat se, zažívat radost, potěšení a důvěru. Vývojová traumata jsou ovlivněna geny, hormony i ranou rodičovskou péčí. Traumata často maskují psychiatrické diagnózy – terapie musí řešit jejich skutečný původ. Sebe-destruktivní chování je často zoufalým pokusem znovu cítit a získat kontrolu nad vlastním životem. Trýznění lidé se často odpojují od reality, což narušuje jejich identitu i schopnost důvěřovat. Výběr terapeuta je klíčový – kdy zapojit zvířecí asistenci, například psího parťáka? Druhá část knihy se věnuje inovativním přístupům v léčbě traumatu. Autor doporučuje práci s tělem jako prostředek k obnově zdravého vztahu k sobě i ostatním. Najdete zde metody jako: neurofeedback, hypnóza, meditace jóga, tanec, sport, hudba psaní, herecké kurzy a další tvůrčí formy vyjádření Trauma zažíváme všichni – je součástí lidského bytí. Ale cesta k uzdravení existuje. A právě tato kniha je její spolehlivý a laskavý průvodce.„Přečtěte si životní příběh kteréhokoli vizionáře – Oprah Winfreyové, Mayi Angelouové, Nelsona Mandely nebo Elieho Wiesela – a naleznete v něm zkušenost s traumatem, která utvářela jejich sílu a odvahu měnit svět.“

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was a German-born American architect and designer whose work in Europe and North America has had an enduring influence on modern and contemporary architecture worldwide. During his sixty-year career, he fundamentally rethought architectural types that shaped modern life, including the office building, apartment building, and private home.True to his alleged dictum “less is more,” Mies van der Rohe’s style is characterized by utmost simplicity, elegance of materials, and radical formal and functional innovation, as exemplified by such iconic projects as the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois, and the Seagram Building in New York. In this book, renowned architectural historian Dietrich Neumann presents a new, critical look at Mies and complicates the established narrative about him. Diverging from the reverential posture of many existing accounts, Neumann insists on the importance of the contemporary context—social, political, and architectural—for understanding the architect’s life and work.The book draws on many overlooked archival and primary sources to demonstrate how and why Mies’s designs were shaped and received, foregrounding contemporary critics’ responses and the work of Mies’s collaborators and peers. It presents several previously unknown buildings, projects, and furniture designs and challenges long-established interpretations of key works. Comprehensively illustrated and covering the entirety of Mies’s career, this ambitious book is the most substantial account to date of the life and work of one of the most important architects of the twentieth century.

I tu nejprobádanější krajinu můžeme objevovat stále znovu a znovu. Naši krajinu domova máme krásně vymezenou zvláštní kruhovou hradbou pohraničních hor. Kotlina Čech, sevřená tímto prstencem, je do sebe uzavřeným světem, zatímco široké úvaly Moravy se naopak otevírají jako náruč. Člověk se v té krajině učil žít a hospodařit tak dlouho, až z ní vytvořil prostor, kterému sám pro sebe začal říkat Zahrádka. Krajinu domova vnímáme jako zemský ráj, o kterém se zpívá v naší hymně. Najdeme zde mnoho koutů, kde jedinečné kouzlo a nezaměnitelná poetika Zahrádky ožívá i dnes. V této knize se spolu s námi projdete krajinou Hustopečské pahorkatiny a Pálavy, Železných hor a Žďárských vrchů, Bílých Karpat, Jizerských hor a Krkonoš, Nízkého a Hrubého Jeseníku. Podíváme se i na místa, v nichž se otiskly vzpomínky na sopky – do Českého středohoří a Slavkovského lesa. Kniha navazuje na stejnojmenný úspěšný televizní pořad, který získal prestižní hlavní cenu Tourfilmu, mezinárodního festivalu filmů s cestovatelskou tematikou. Úchvatné fotografie doprovázejí texty vyzdvihující pozoruhodnosti české a moravské krajiny a dokreslují je působivé ilustrace. Vychází v trojjazyčné verzi – česky, anglicky a německy. Fotografie Michal Matuška a Pavel Vacek Ilustrace František Žáček ------------------------------ Even the most explored land can be rediscovered again and again. Our homeland is beautifully delimited by a special rounded wall of borderline mountains. The Czech Basin, enclosed in this mountainous ring, is a world wrapped up in itself, while the wide valleys of Moravia seem to open their arms. The man has been learning to live in this land and manage it for such a long time that he created a space the man himself named a small garden. We perceive our homeland as the Paradise on Earth, the one that is sung about in the national anthem. There are many places left in our country where its unique magic and its unmistakable poetics are still alive to these days. In this book you can join us for a walk in the country of the Hustopeče Downs and the Pálava, the Iron Mountains and the Žďár Heights, the White Carpathians, the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains, the Nízký and the Hrubý Jeseník. We can also visit places where memories of volcanoes left their prints – the Central Bohemian Highlands and the Emperor’s Forest. The book is a follow-up to a successful TV series with the same name, which achieved the prestigious main prize of Tourfilm, an international festival of travel movies. Breath-taking photographs are accompanied by texts emphasizing Czech and Moravian regions and supplemented with impressive illustrations. Photos Michal Matuška end Pavel Vacek Illustrations František Žáček ----------------------------- Auch die meisterforschte Landschaft können wir immer wieder neu entdecken. Unsere Heimatlandschaft ist schön eingegrenzt durch den besonderen ringförmigen Wall der Grenzgebirge. Der von diesem Ring umschlossene böhmische Kessel ist eine in sich abgeschlossene Welt, während sich dagegen die weiten Täler Mährens öffnen wie ausgebreitete Arme. Der Mensch hat so lange in dieser Landschaft leben und wirtschaften gelernt, bis er einen Raum aus ihr gemacht hat, den er für sich selbst Garten zu nennen begann. Wir nehmen unsere Heimatlandschaft wie das Paradies auf Erden wahr, von dem in unserer Hymne gesungen wird. Es gibt in unserer Landschaft noch viele Ecken, wo ihr einzigartiger Zauber und unverwechselbare Poesie lebendig bis heute ist. In diesem Buch werden Sie mit uns durch die Landschaften des Auspitzer Hügellands und der Pollauer Berge, des Eisengebirges und der Saarer Berge, der Weißen Karpaten, des Isergebirges und des Riesengebirges, des Mährischen Gesenkes und des Hohen Gesenkes wandern. Wir werden auch Orte sehen, die Erinnerungen an Vulkane bergen: das Böhmische Mittelgebirge und den Kaiserwald. Das Buch knüpft an die gleichnamige erfolgreiche Fernsehsendung an, die den renommierten Hauptpreis von Tourfilm, dem internationalen Reisefilmfestival gewonnen hat. Die Texte, die das Bemerkenswerteste der böhmischen und mährischen Landschaften hervorheben, sind begleitet von hinreißende Fotos und eindrucksvollen Illustrationen.

This groundbreaking new guide is an authoritative field reference for these two groups of animals.The taxonomy and systematics of European reptiles and amphibians have changed a lot in recent years, yet there is no modern, up-to-date field guide available that comprehensively covers all the species. The last illustrated field guide to European reptiles and amphibians was first published 38 years ago, and remains outdated despite occasional reprints and new editions. This major new field guide addresses this deficiency. A total of 219 species are covered in detail, with a focus on identification and geographical variation; species texts also cover distribution, habitat and behaviour. Superb colour illustrations by talented artist Ilian Velikov depict every species and all major variations, and colour photographs are also included for most species.The book includes over 370 colour artworks and 200 colour photographs, 155 accurate and up-to-date distribution maps, and easy-to-use keys and tables to help with swift species identification.

Gabika je temperamentná kresťanka, Milan je introvertný Žid.Napriek rozpačitým reakciám okolia sa vzali a vychovávajú spolu dve deti... Je ich manželstvo bezproblémové? Akí naivní boli čerstvo zamilovaní mladomanželia? Ako sa prejavia v správaní detí rozdielne postoje otca a matky k svetu?Román, inšpirovaný skutočným príbehom, zobrazuje tieto, ale aj ďalšie problémy vznikajúce pri spolunažívaní dvoch kultúr. Neobyčajný námet zároveň ponúka zaujímavé nazretie do kultúry judaizmu a ukazuje jeho komplikované vnímanie zo strany majoritnej spoločnosti, ktorá je navonok plná pochopenia, no pod povrchom mnohokrát skrýva staromódne predsudky.Prečítajte si príbeh o láske, ktorá sa zaobišla bez veľkých slov, ale nie bez veľkej tolerancie.

A panoramic, thousand-year history of Israelite religion, from the Iron Age to the birth of Judaism, by a renowned biblical scholar  From its Iron Age beginnings to its aftermath in the Roman period, Israelite religion went through significant changes and transformations. As the Israelites responded to major historical events and political realities, their collective beliefs and practices evolved over time and developed new forms, even as earlier elements of religious culture remained an active substratum.  Weaving together biblical literature, archaeology, and comparative sources, award-winning author Karel van der Toorn tells the sweeping story of how Israelite religion evolved from a tribal cult honoring the ancestors and the ⠜god of the fathers⠝ to a scriptural religion practiced by an ethnic minority within the Roman Empire. He demonstrates how religion was integral to nation-building as Israel transitioned from a nomadic chiefdom to a monarchical state; how religious practices changed in response to the loss of political independence; and how in the final centuries before the Common Era, as Hellenistic culture permeated the Eastern Mediterranean, Israelite religion gave rise to a variety of reading communities committed to a body of sacred scripture, with the law of Moses at its core.  Combining literary studies, anthropology, linguistics, history, and more, this book tells the fascinating story of Israelite religion as it has never been told before.

A fascinating, illustrated study of how the Roman Republican legions defeated the Macedonian army s much-vaunted phalanxes.The battle of Cynoscephalae represents a key moment in the history of the Greco-Roman world. In this one battle the Macedonian hold over mainland Greece was broken, with the Roman Republic rising in its place as the pre-eminent power in the Greek East. At Cynoscephalae, the proud Macedonian kingdom of Antigonid monarch Philip V was humbled, its army shattered. Yet the battle, and campaign leading up to it, was hard fought and protracted. Philip V had defied Rome and its allies in the First Macedonian War and was poised to do so again, with the pike phalanx continuing to be a daunting opponent for the Roman legionaries. Here, classical archaeologist Dr Mark van der Enden, drawing on primary sources and recent scholarship, explores the battle not as an isolated event but as the culmination of three years of intensive campaigning; the battle of the Aous gorge (198 BC) is also considered. The opposing armies, their weaponry, organization, tactics and commanders, are covered in detail and revealed in battlescene artworks and photos of material culture. Maps and diagrams explore the movements to battle and command decisions taken. Also examined is the performance of the Roman manipular legion over the Antigonid pike phalanx and whether Flamininusâ ™ victory truly demonstrated the superiority of Roman arms.

Personality disorders are categorised into three ‘ clusters’ , each containing several specific disorders with common characteristics that differentiate them from those contained in the other clusters. Schema therapy was developed primarily to manage and treat ‘ cluster B’ personality disorders, especially borderline personality disorder, and it has a robust evidence base in this area. Research studies have shown that schema therapy is also an effective treatment for clients with ‘ cluster C’ personality disorders – dependent personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder – but only if a number of important adaptations and adjustments to the treatment protocol are made. Written by well-known experts in the field, this is the first book to explore the theory and practice of using schema therapy to treat individuals with ‘ cluster C’ personality disorders.Part of the Schema Therapy Approaches and Resources series, following the success of Chairwork, Imagery Rescripting and Schema Therapy: A Phase-Oriented Approach.
