Este é um romance sobre um autista, filho de uma camponesa, que nasce na propriedade de uma aristocrata, no século XIX e na França. A aristocrata, Marguerite, o recolhe em sua casa e começa então seu esforço de fazê-lo desenvolver-se. Esse esforço é registrado em um diário, escrito entre 1891 e 1916. Nele, Marguerite reflete sobre a luta em que ela se engaja para fazê-lo sair de seu mutismo e entrar no mundo. O livro busca transmitir, de forma romanceada, uma visão psicanalítica sobre o autismo. A distância no tempo e no espaço é uma tentativa de oferecer certo recuo ao leitor, o que poderá permitir que ele veja o autista de uma perspectiva diferente daquela, organicista e reducionista, que é dominante nos dias atuais. O trabalho de Marguerite é uma maneira de apresentar o tratamento psicanalítico, avant la lettre, de um autista. A autora reúne, aqui, o que ela atravessou em seus anos de experiência com o autismo.
O vírus imprevisto suspendeu o inevitável do invariável, interrompendo um crescimento que, entretanto, se tornara uma excrescência incontrolável, desmesurada e sem fim. Toda a crise compromete a possibilidade de resgate. Saberemos compreender o sinal? Um retrato sugestivo do evento epocal que já deixou a sua marca no século xxi. Da questão ecológica ao governo dos especialistas, do Estado de exceção à democracia imunitária, do domínio pelo medo ao contágio da conspiração, do distanciamento forçado ao controlo digital, a autora reconstrói, no seu estilo pessoal, as fases dramáticas daquilo a que ela chama «a catástrofe respiratória». O coronavírus é um vírus soberan...

Esta coletânea se propõe a uma reflexão sobre a masculinidade e feminilidade contemporâneos e principalmente sobre o relacionamento amoroso, realizado a partir de pesquisas e ensaios de autores ligados à abordagem junguiana. Ela traz indagações sobre a cultura contemporânea, suas formas de ser homem e mulher e modos de relacionamento amoroso. Vive-se hoje um paradoxo entre atitudes, valores e estruturas conectadas ao patriarcado tradicional, onde homem, mulher e casamento eram peças de um jogo imutável e transformações na identidade masculina e feminina, onde se propõem outras estruturas identitárias e formas novas de relacionamento. Aquilo que era tradição apenas, hoje se transforma em novas possibilidades de ser e de existir. Experimentações onde a alteridade possa ser respeitada, num presente que se constrói.

Matthew D. Bauer delves deeply into the traditions and remarkable benefits of acupressure and acupuncture, explains the many benefits of both, describes techniques for self-treatment, and illustrates how Chinese healing can augment modern Western medicine.
"[A] vibrant and punchy novel . . . Through Falero’s lovable characters, readers will meditate on violence and respectability within the death-trap of runaway capitalism.

In PROC SQL by Example: Using SQL within SAS, author Howard Schreier illustrates the use of PROC SQL in the context of the SAS DATA step and other SAS procedures (such as SORT, FREQ, MEANS, SUMMARY, APPEND, DATASETS, and TRANSPOSE) whose functionality overlaps and complements that of SQL. Using a side-by-side approach, this concise reference guide includes many extensively explained examples showing equivalent DATA step and SQL code, enabling SAS users to take advantage of existing SAS skills and knowledge while learning about SQL. Discussions cover the differences between SQL and the DATA step as well as situations where SQL and the DATA step are used together to benefit from the strengths of each. Topics addressed include working with joins and merges; using subqueries; understanding set operators; using the Macro Facility with PROC SQL; maintaining tables; working with views; using PROC SQL as a report generator; and more. This text is ideal for SAS programmers seeking to add PROC SQL to their SAS toolkits as well as SQL programmers striving to better integrate the SAS DATA step and SQL. This book is part of the SAS Press program.

'the Indigo Children Oh yeah ... I know about them! Wasn't there a movie about that? They're those special kids who do psychic things and who have dark blue auras, right?'' If that's your take on the Indigos, then you really need to read this book. The Indigo Children aren't super-psychic kids with dark blue auras. In fact, the Indigo moniker has nothing to do with auras or being psychic. Some of these teenagers are actually the ones who are strapping on bombs and bringing guns to school, so you can see that the subject here is far more profound than the sensational hype that often accompanies it. This book is all about the children of our planet, what really might be happening with them, wh...
