Reclaiming Unlived Life - Thomas Ogden
In Reclaiming Unlived Life, influential psychoanalyst Thomas Ogden uses rich clinical examples to illustrate how different types of thinking may promote or impede analytic work. With a unique style of "creative reading," the book builds upon the work of Winnicott and Bion, discussing the universality of unlived life and the ways unlived life may be reclaimed in the analytic experience. The book examines the role of intuition in analytic practice and the process of developing an analytic style that is uniquely oneÂ’s own.Ogden deals with many forms of interplay of truth and psychic change, the transformative effect of conscious and unconscious efforts to confront the truth of experience and how psychoanalysts can understand their own psychic evolution, as well as that of their patients. Reclaiming Unlived Life sets out a new way that analysts can understand and use notions of truth in their clinical work and in their reading of the work of Kafka and Borges. Reclaiming Unlived Life: Experiences in Psychoanalysis will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as postgraduate students and anybody interested in the literature of psychoanalysis.

Science and Religion - Thomas Dixon, Adam Shapiro
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Debates about science and religion are rarely out of the news. Whether it concerns what''s being taught in schools, clashes between religious values and medical recommendations, or questions about how to address our changing global environment, emotions often run high and answers seem intractable. Yet there is much more to science and religion than the clash of extremes. As Thomas Dixon and Adam Shapiro show in this balanced and thought-provoking Very Short Introduction, a whole range of views, subtle arguments, and fascinating perspectives can be found on this complex and centuries-old subject. They explore the key philosophical questions that underlie the debate, but also highlight the social, political, and ethical contexts that have made the tensions between science and religion such a fraught and interesting topic in the modern world. In this new edition, Dixon and Shapiro connect historical concepts such as evolution, the heliocentric solar system, and the problem of evil to present-day issues including the politicization of science; debates over mind, body, and identity; and the moral necessity of addressing environmental change.

Sunk Cost - Jillian Berman
Exposes the forgotten origins of the student loan system, how politicians have attempted to fix it, and the life-altering damage borrowers face.  Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation’s student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt.  Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans’ college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Nature and the Mind - Dr Marc Berman
The groundbreaking new book showing how nature enhances our powers of attention and shapes brain development, from the founder of the field of environmental neuroscience. 'Nature’s power has everything to do with attention, the driving force behind our thoughts and behaviour… Dr Berman says that our lack of access to nature (or unwillingness to go out in it) has contributed to soaring rates of stress, chronic disease, loneliness and other mental health issues. Reconnecting to nature can be part of the antidote' – MEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINEWhat if we could harness the power of nature to become calmer, more focused and less distracted?With so many things vying for our attention in modern life, we’re suffering a global epidemic of distraction, leaving us feeling drained, depleted and isolated.

Gradual - Aubrey Fox, Greg Berman
A call to tone down our political rhetoric and embrace a common-sense approach to change.Many experts believe that we are at a fulcrum moment in history, a time that demands radical shifts in thinking and policymaking. Calls for bold change are everywhere these days, particularly on social media, but is this actually the best way to make the world a better place?In Gradual, Greg Berman and Aubrey Fox argue that, contrary to the aspirations of activists on both the right and the left, incremental reform is the best path forward. They begin by emphasizing that the very structure of American government explicitly and implicitly favors incrementalism. Particularly in a time of intense polarization, any effort to advance radical change will inevitably engender significant backlash. As Berman and Fox make clear, polling shows little public support for bold change. The public is, however, willing to endorse a broad range of incremental reforms that, if implemented, would reduce suffering and improve fairness. To illustrate how incremental changes can add up to significant change over time, Berman and Fox provide portraits of "heroic incrementalists" who have produced meaningful reforms in a variety of areas, from the expansion of Social Security to more recent ...

Clinical Fictions - Jeffrey Berman
Clinical Fictions: Psychoanalytic Novelists and Short Story Writers is the first book to explore works of fiction written by prominent psychoanalysts.Broken down into thematic sections, the book explores the literary output of pioneering psychoanalysts such as Julia Kristeva, Bruce Fink, Thomas Odgen and Gregorio Kohon, among others. Berman looks at works of historical fiction, detective fiction and the short story, and explores how recurring themes typical of these genres can be explored both psychoanalytically and through a literary lens. The works included explore experiences of childhood adversity, life in dystopian societies, experiences of psychosis, bodily autonomy, personal loss and, above all, trauma. Unpicking these themes, and their depiction through fiction, Berman gives the reader the tools to apply psychoanalytic literary theory to further works. Interweaving his personal correspondence with authors, including a heartwarming exchange with Cliff Wilkerson, Berman offers unparalleled access to the inner working of the writersÂ’ minds.This book will be of interest to students and researchers exploring psychoanalytic literary theory, as well as mental health practitioners who are interested in the intersections between literature and psychoanalysis and discovering new ways of exploring the unspoken and unconscious.

The Right Side of History - Shapiro Ben
Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West. So why are we on the verge of throwing it all away? In 2016, New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro spoke at the University of California-Berkeley. Hundreds of police officers were required to protect his speech. What was so frightening about Shapiro? He came to argue that Western civilization is in the midst of a crisis of purpose and ideas; that we have let grievances replace our sense of community and political expediency limit our individual rights; that we are teaching our kids that their emotions matter more than rational debate; and that the only meaning in life is arbitrary and subjective. As a society, we are forgetting that almost everything great that has ever happened in history happened because of people who believed in both Judeo-Christian values and in the Greek-born power of reason. In The Right Side of History, Shapiro sprints through more than 3,500 years, dozens of philosophers, and the thicket of modern politics to show how our freedoms are built upon the twin notions that every human being is made in God's image and that human beings were created with ...

Umění milující laskavosti - Rabi Rami Shapiro
Původní cena: 299 Kč, celková sleva: 67 % Neortodoxní a mnoha duchovním tradicím otevřený rabín Rami Shapiro přijímá původně buddhistický koncept milující laskavosti a spojuje ho s podněty dalších spiritualit. Milující laskavost nachází v charakteristice židovského Boha a v jeho atributech, jak je dále rozvíjí judaismus, ale i křesťanství, islám a další. Shapiro probírá třináct biblických atributů Boží milující laskavosti jako rámec pro kultivaci dobrého života každého člověka, který je volán k tomu, být Bohu podobný. Vede tak člověka k objevení zdrojů jeho vlastní důstojnosti, velkorysosti, laskavosti a dobroty. Každý může rozšířit své srdce, když: – je laskavý skrze soucitnou upřímnost – dělá si v srdci místo pro realitu – rozpoznává Boží projevy – obejme paradox nevědění – je přítomný v daném okamžiku aj. Rami M. Shapiro, známý jako „Rabbi Rami“, je oceňovaný autor, učitel a přednášející, představitel liberálního judaismu se zájmem o současné spirituality.

Nové dětství - Shapiro Jordan
Kniha Nové dětství nabízí nový, revoluční pohled na moderní technologie, kterým jsou naše děti denně vystavovány. Ve světě, kde hraní videoher a používání internetu dětmi vzbuzuje obavy a inspiruje k množství výzkumů, zabývajících se dopadem těchto vlivů na vývoj našich děti, nabízí Jordan Shapiro na první pohled až překvapivě tolerantní přístup. Skutečně dělá hraní videoher z dětí zombíky a připravuje je o poctivé dětství? Nebo je naopak může jistým způsobem rozvíjet? Vždyť mezi jejich a naším dětstvím vlastně ani nemusí byt takový zásadní rozdíl. Shapiro nejenže nabízí jiný úhel pohledu, navíc dobře vysvětlený a podložený fakty, ale v jisté části se jeho kniha mění na povinnou příručku pro rodiče. Oddělit děti od moderních technologií a sociálních sítí je dnes nemožné. Ale díky autorovým postřehům a radám můžeme děti naučit využívat je zodpovědně a bez negativních následků. Kniha Jordana Shapiro vám neřekne, že máte dětem všechna moderní lákadla vzít, protože jsou špatné. Naučí vás však, jak děti do digitálního světa vyslat natolik připravené, aby na ně tento svět nepůsobil destruktivně.

Politika zadržování - Ian Shapiro
Kniha známého amerického politologa Iana Shapira z roku 2007 se věnuje současné zahraniční politice Spojených států, která po 11. září čelí zcela novým výzvám. Představuje politiku zadržování (containment) jako alternativu k nefunkční Bushově doktríně. Politika zadržování přizpůsobená realitě 21. století podle Shapira nabízí "nejlepší ochranu Američanů před násilnými útoky a zároveň je nejlepším způsobem, jak zachovat demokracii v Americe a také ji šířit ve světě." Shapirova smělá vize bezpečnosti ve světě po 11. září připomíná Dlouhý telegram George Kennana, ve kterém byla strategie zadržování poprvé představena. Ve druhé polovině 20. století pomohla Americe vyhrát studenou válku a Shapiro ve své další brilantní analýze mocenských strategií ukazuje, nakolik má šanci uchránit Spojené státy před hrozbou světového terorismu.

Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe - Sheri Berman
A magisterial look at the development of various political regimes in Europe from the ancien régime up through the present dayAt the end of the twentieth century, many believed the story of European political development had come to an end. Modern democracy began in Europe, but for hundreds of years it competed with various forms of dictatorship. Now, though, the entire continent was in the democratic camp for the first time in history. But within a decade, this story had already begun to unravel. Some of the continent''s newer democracies slid back towards dictatorship, while citizens in many of its older democracies began questioning democracy''s functioning and even its legitimacy. And of course it is not merely in Europe where democracy is under siege. Across the globe the immense optimism accompanying the post-Cold War democratic wave has been replaced by pessimism. Many new democracies in Latin America, Africa, and Asia began "backsliding," while the Arab Spring quickly turned into the Arab winter. The victory of Donald Trump led many to wonder if it represented a threat to the future of liberal democracy in the United States.

The Book of Lamentations - Joshua A. Berman
In this commentary, Joshua Berman considers Lamentations as a literary work that creates meaning for a community in the wake of tragedy through its repudiation of Zion theology. Drawing from studies in collective trauma, his volume is the first study of Lamentations that systematically accounts for the constructed character of the narrator, a pastoral mentor who engages in a series of dialogues with a second constructed character, daughter Zion, who embodies the traumatized community of survivors. In each chapter, the pastoral mentor speaks to a different religious typology and a different sub-community of post-destruction Judeans, working with daughter Zion to reconsider her errant positions and charting for her a positive way forward to reconnecting with the Lord. Providing a systematic approach to the careful structure of each of its chapters, Berman illuminates how biblical writers offered support to their communities in a way that is still relevant and appealing to a therapy-conscious contemporary society.

But although the Framers would recognize the way justices are nominated and confirmed today, something is different. Why have appointments to the high court become one of the most explosive features of our system of government? As Ilya Shapiro makes clear in Supreme Disorder, this problem is part of a larger phenomenon. As government has grown, its laws reaching even further into our lives, the courts that interpret those laws have become enormously powerful. If we fight over each new appointment as though everything were at stake, it’s because it is. When decades of constitutional corruption have left us subject to an all-powerful tribunal, passions are sure to flare on the infrequent occasions when the political system has an opportunity to shape it. And so we find the process of judicial appointments verging on dysfunction.

The Experimental Self - Patricia G. Berman, Tom Gunning, MaryClaire Pappas
Edvard Munch was the first artist of his time to use the camera for "selfies". Munch saw the camera as another way to express himself artistically."I have an old camera with which I have taken countless photographs of myself. It often produces astonishing effects", Edvard Munch states in a 1930 interview. "Someday when I am old and have nothing better to do than work on an autobiography, all my photographic self-portraits will see the light of day again." The autobiography was never realized, but the self-portraits have found their way to the pages of The Experimental Self. The Photography of Edvard Munch, which demonstrates the fundamentally experimental nature of the artist’s photographic practice. As a photographer, Munch embraced the freedom provided by the amateur position, and the unpredictable aspects of analogue photographic technology. By playfully approaching his own image in picture after picture, Munch extends his explorations of selfhood in other media through photography. The resulting photographs provide unique access to Munch’s radical artistic vision, which this book studies through eminent essays by Patricia G. Berman, Tom Gunning and MaryClaire Pappas.

Jak zachránit západní civilizaci - Shapiro Ben
Ben Shapiro v knize Jak zachránit západní civilizaci míří z pohledu dnešní krize Západu ke kořenům evropské kultury, na něž současná převažující materialistická a hédonistická kultura zapomněla. Vysvětluje, že bez dědictví Athén a Jeruzaléma je ohrožena nejen svoboda a řád, soudržnost demo-kratické společnosti, ale i dnešní, nikdy v minulosti nevídaný blahobyt. Dramaticky popisuje 3 000 let evropských dějin, jež spojily zdánlivě neslučitelné: židovsko-křesťanskou existenciální víru s řeckou filosofií. V symbióze této víry a rozumu vyrostla nejúspěšnější civilizace, která dala světu vědu a techniku, dramatické umění a představu osobní svobody, lidské důstojnosti i občanských práv. Autor hájí řecký přirozený zákon telos, který z konečného účelu lidské přirozenosti vyvozuje, že člověk má pěstováním ctností směřovat k naplnění smyslu svého života, tedy k moudrosti a vznešenosti. Bez vyššího smyslu života se Západ zhroutí do chaosu iracionálních svárů, jak to vidíme dnes, kdy věcnou diskusi nahrazují vášně, subjektivita, etnická nebo menšinová identita a podobně. Paradoxně totiž i sám rozum závisí na víře – víře v racionální, poznatelný a objektivní svět, v němž rozpoznává Stvořitele.

Labyrint / Shapira / Třináct oken - Karol Efraim Sidon
Když se Karola Sidona v polovině sedmdesátých let zeptal Jiří Lederer (v interview pro České rozhovory), co ve své tvorbě myšlenkově sleduje, oč mu jde, Sidon mu zprvu nerozuměl. Lederer se mu tedy snažil pomoci: "Rozumíš, jde mi o to, abys sám sebe interpretoval". A Sidon: "Právě o tohle mi jde: abych sám sebe interpretoval." Ano, opravdu se dá říci, že veškerá Sidonova tvorba je poznamenána hledáním vlastní identity, a proto i snahou nemilosrdně poznat sama sebe, hodnotu svého jednání. Tvorba spisovatele, scénáristy a dramatika Karola Sidona byla u nás v sedmdesátých a osmdesátých letech umlčována, a poté byl Sidon dokonce donucen strávit sedm let v exilu. Nyní je známou osobností nejen díky své umělecké tvorbě, ale i díky svému působení v postavení zemského rabína. Tři hry zařazené v tomto svazku (Labyrint, Shapira a Třináct oken) patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co Karol Sidon napsal.

1599:Jeden rok v životě Williama Shakespeara - James Shapiro
Jak se z talentovaného dramatika a básníka stal jeden z největších autorů v dějinách literatury? V Shapirově nebývale živém líčení můžeme sledovat, co Shakespeare v roce 1599 četl, jaké hry viděl a s kým spolupracoval, stejně tak jako dějinné události, které hýbaly alžbětinskou Anglií. Výsledek už známe: v tomto událostmi nabitém roce Shakespeare investuje do nového divadla Globe a po večerech (!) napíše hned čtyři hry - Jindřicha V., Julia Caesara, Jak se vám líbí a konečně Hamleta - snad nejobdivovanější hru všech dob. S tím, jak se dozvíme, co k jejich vzniku vedlo, se prohloubí i naše porozumění a při příští návštěvě divadla uvidíme své oblíbené postavy zase v jiném světle.

Honoria - Janice Shapiro
When Ida is sent away for the summer to stay with the Murphys - friends of her father, but also of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald - she travels from New York to France and, unknowingly, into the artistic epicentre of 1929. There, she meets their haughty, sullen, and precocious daughter, Honoria, and wonders if she can be friends with the prettiest girl in the whole world. In the ''perfect inverted world'' of adults, one of constant play and leisure - and inebriation, of course - it''s the children who most acutely perceive the pervasive unhappiness bubbling beneath the surface gaiety. Achingly sad and effortlessly funny, full of the kind of youthful sincerity unclouded by pretenses of age, short story writer and cartoonist Janice Shapiro''s debut graphic novel, HONORIA, is the complex story of the education of two young girls who have started moving slowly into womanhood.

Moderní otcovství - Shapiro Jordan
Autor vychází z výzkumů sociologie, psychologie, genderových studií a vlastních zkušeností a zkoumá otcovství z archetypální perspektivy a kulturní historie. Zpochybňuje tradiční předpoklady o původu a rozdělení rodičovských rolí a úkolů.V naší společnosti se začaly měnit genderové normy a z nich vyplývající (i ekonomická) očekávání. Začalo se také měnit pojetí "tradiční rodiny". Je proto nejvyšší čas přehodnotit některé aspekty otcovství.Otcové jsou však prostřednictvím různých médií neustále bombardováni domněnkami, které pocházejí z viktoriánského nebo industriálního chápání postavení a role otce v rodině.Moderní otcovství tak nabízí tolik potřebné aktualizované chápání otcovství a role otců v životě jejich dětí a mužství obecně. Shapiro vede čtenáře k obrazu člověka pro svět 21. století.

1606 - James Shapiro
1606: William Shakespeare and the Year of Lear traces Shakespeare''s life and times from the autumn of 1605, when he took an old and anonymous Elizabethan play, The Chronicle History of King Leir, and transformed it into his most searing tragedy, King Lear.1606 proved to be an especially grim year for England, which witnessed the bloody aftermath of the Gunpowder Plot, divisions over the Union of England and Scotland, and an outbreak of plague. But it turned out to be an exceptional one for Shakespeare, unrivalled at identifying the fault-lines of his cultural moment, who before the year was out went on to complete two other great Jacobean tragedies that spoke directly to these fraught times: Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra.Following the biographical style of 1599, a way of thinking and writing that Shapiro has made his own, 1606: William Shakespeare and the Year of Lear promises to be one of the most significant and accessible works on Shakespeare in the decade to come

Responsible Parties - Ian Shapiro, Frances McCall Rosenbluth
How popular democracy has paradoxically eroded trust in political systems worldwide, and how to restore confidence in democratic politics Democracies across the world are adopting reforms to bring politics closer to the people. Parties have turned to primaries and local caucuses to select candidates. Ballot initiatives and referenda allow citizens to enact laws directly. Many democracies now use proportional representation, encouraging smaller, more specific parties rather than two dominant ones. Yet voters keep getting angrier. There is a steady erosion of trust in politicians, parties, and democratic institutions, culminating most recently in major populist victories in the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. Frances Rosenbluth and Ian Shapiro argue that devolving power to the grass roots is part of the problem, not the solution. Efforts to decentralize political decision-making make governments and especially political parties less effective and less able to address constituents' long-term interests. To revive confidence in governance, we must restructure our political systems to restore power to the core institution of representative democracy: the political party.
