Dawn of a Legend - R K Lander - Bog - Ruth Kent - Plusbog.dk

Dawn of a Legend - R K Lander - Bog - Ruth Kent - Plusbog.dk

To the enemy, Fel’annár is just a half-blood bastard, but to the Silvan people, he is their crownless warrior prince. Returning from battle in the mountains, he grieves for one who was lost, a death that triggers a mystery Fel’annár and his company of chosen brothers must unravel. But why do the trees speak of a beautiful monster?Fel’annár will learn the ways of the Kah Warrior from a legendary commander while facing the disdain of another who struggles to accept this ‘ignoble son’ for who he is, not for what he represents. Meanwhile, Fel’annár’s royal half-brother reveals a plan to restore the Great Forest to its past splendour of multi-cultural harmony. But the Forest is falling apart under the final onslaught of a ruthless traitor and the Silvan people are turning away from their ruler. Can Fel’annár come to understand what role he must play in this plan before it is too late? Can the brothers put aside their resentment towards each other for tearing their families apart and learn to trust one another? Can love prosper in the midst of battle and hardship as dark enemies converge on the Motherland?Danger lies in wait for an elf who is slowly coming to terms with his heritage, learning to wield a natural ability and accepting the nature of his unfolding destiny. The greatest warriors of their time will come together once more—in the name of justice. In the name of love.

Affects, Cognition, and Language as Foundations of Human Development - Paul C. Holinger - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Affects, Cognition, and Language as Foundations of Human Development - Paul C. Holinger - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Affects, Cognition, and Language as Foundations of Human Development considers human development from the three most basic systems—affects (our earliest feelings), cognition, and language. Holinger explores how these systems enhance potential and help prevent problems, both in individuals and in societies. He begins with a focus on the affects of interest and anger and how affects provide the foundation for the sense of self and playing and creating. The author delves into cognition in the context of human relationships and infants’ remarkable capacity to understand language long before they can talk. Drawing on the work of Darwin, Freud, Stern, Basch, and the ground-breaking ideas of Silvan Tomkins, this work thus deepens the exploration into human development by integrating affects, cognition, and language. The author also uses this triad to examine two important societal issues: physical punishment, and bias, prejudice, and violence. This book will not only appeal to psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and social workers but is also accessible to parents, educators, and policymakers.

Crime and Punishment in the Jim Crow South - - Bog - University of Illinois Press - Plusbog.dk

Crime and Punishment in the Jim Crow South - - Bog - University of Illinois Press - Plusbog.dk

Policing, incarceration, capital punishment: these forms of crime control were crucial elements of Jim Crow regimes. White southerners relied on them to assert and maintain racial power, which led to the growth of modern state bureaucracies that eclipsed traditions of local sovereignty. Friction between the demands of white supremacy and white southern suspicions of state power created a distinctive criminal justice system in the South, elements of which are still apparent today across the United States. In this collection, Amy Louise Wood and Natalie J. Ring present nine groundbreaking essays about the carceral system and its development over time. Topics range from activism against police brutality to the peculiar path of southern prison reform to the fraught introduction of the electric chair. The essays tell nuanced stories of rapidly changing state institutions, political leaders who sought to manage them, and African Americans who appealed to the regulatory state to protect their rights. Contributors: Pippa Holloway, Tammy Ingram, Brandon T. Jett, Seth Kotch, Talitha L. LeFlouria, Vivien Miller, Silvan Niedermeier, K. Stephen Prince, and Amy Louise Wood

The Evil That Surrounds Us - - Bog - Indiana University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Evil That Surrounds Us - - Bog - Indiana University Press - Plusbog.dk

In 1931, Gustav Becker and Erna Kohen married. He was Catholic and she was Jewish. Erna and Gustav had no idea their religious affiliations, which mattered so little to them, would define their marriage under the Nazis. As one of the more than 20,000 German Jews married to an "Aryan" spouse, Erna was initially exempt from the most radical anti-Jewish measures. However, even after Erna willingly converted to Catholicism, the persecution, isolation, and hatred leveled against them by the Nazi regime and their Christian neighbors intensified, and she and their son Silvan were forced to flee alone into the mountains. Through intimate and insightful diary entries, Erna tells her own compelling and horrifying story and reflects on the fortunate escapes and terrible tragedies of her friends and family. The Nazis would exact steep payment for Erna's survival: her home, her family, and ultimately her faithful husband's life. The Evil That Surrounds Us reveals both the great evil of Nazi Germany and the powerful love and courage of her husband, friends, and strangers who risked everything to protect her.

Progress in Self Psychology, V. 15 - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Progress in Self Psychology, V. 15 - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Volume 15 of Progress in Self Psychology conveys the rich pluralism of contemporary self psychology with respect to a central theoretical and clinical issue: the nature of the self and the manner in which is can best be studied. This topic is initially addressed through a series of papers reassessing selfobject transferences and the selfobject function of interpretation. It is then approached via the theory of psychoanalytic technique, with papers that focus on boundaries and intimacy and on "Surface, Depth, and the Isolated Mind". And it culminates in two case studies that elicit animated discussion delineating different perspectives - intersubjective, motivational systems, and self-selfobject - on the self in relation to the therapeutic process. Two studies comparing Melanie Klein and Heinz Kohut; a discussion of how current cultural attitudes affect parenting; a relational view of the therapeutic partnership; and an integration of Silvan Tomkin''s affect theory with self psychology add breadth to this timely and provocative collection. Volume 15 includes additional letters from the Kohut Archives and a moving account of Kohut''s struggle with his own impending death.

Enmandstelt - Alen Meskovic - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

Enmandstelt - Alen Meskovic - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

December 1994. Efter flere dages illegal rejse op igennem Europa er den 17-årige bosniske musiknørd Miki nået frem til Københavns Hovedbanegård. Der er en blodig krig i hans hjemland; han har stjålet fra sine forældre og er flygtet fra en ussel flygtningelejr i Kroatien, hvor familien delte værelse med tre andre. Miki er på vej mod sit drømmeland, Sverige, og sin savnede storebror Neno – men i København går det galt: En civilklædt politimand, et råd fra en menneskesmugler og en sær dansk asyllovgivning tvinger Miki til at blive i landet for en tid. Han bliver indlogeret på et værelse med fire fjerne slægtninge i et asylcenter på Fyn, mens hans storebror ikke melder tilbage på Mikis Sverigesplaner. Tiden går med at slentre rundt i den lille provinsby, se pornofilm med drengene fra lejren og faste under Ramadanen. Men outsideren Miki har dårlig samvittighed og kræver mere af livet end en køjeseng. Mens den barske danske vinter trækker ud, og konflikterne i asylcenteret spidser til, indser Miki, at xenofobi og dårlig musiksmag ingen nationalitet har, og at det flade, forblæste Danmark bliver mere end blot en mellemstation på hans rejse. Han forelsker sig i den danske pige Belinda og tager et lyssky arbejde som avisbud hos den storrygende Uffe, der har glemt at fortælle ham om de fremmedartede parcelhuskvarterer på ruten. En dag cykler han forbi en plakat for Roskilde Festivalen 1995. Bevæbnet med et enmandstelt fra Silvan forlader han lejren uden at ane, hvilket drama der venter ham. "Enmandstelt" er en tragikomisk immigrantfortælling om at begå fatale fejltagelser og havne et helt forkert sted i sit liv, om at forholde sig til en kompleks familiehistorie og en ny syret virkelighed – og at finde hjem.
