Displaced by Disaster
Displacement has traditionally been conceptualized as a phenomenon that results from conflict or other disruptions in developing or unstable countries. Hurricane Katrina shattered this notion and highlighted the various dilemmas of population displacement in the United States. The dilemmas stem from that of inconsistent terminology and definitions; lack of efforts to quantify displacement risk potential and that factor displacement vulnerability into community plans; lack of understanding of differential needs of "displacees" especially during long-term recovery periods; and policy and institutional responses (or lack thereof) especially as it relates to post-disaster sheltering and housing....

Life is a Cabernet
From USA Today bestselling author Jan Moran comes a riveting novella that’s as rich and irresistible as a fine cabernet wine. Napa Valley, 1956: Years ago, after Juliana Cardona’s fiancé was killed in an army ambush, she didn’t know if she could ever find the strength to risk love again. Now Juliana, who has a passion for winemaking, is determined to build her own business as a wine publicist and create an independent life. But when Juliana holds a press event in San Francisco, she meets a mysterious winemaker, Henri Laurent, who is everything she never thought she’d find again. However, Juliana is shocked to discover that Henri is hiding a long-buried secret that threatens to devastate their budding relationship. In order to find happiness and the life she’d once thought was gone forever, she must find the strength to uncover tragedies and face the troubled past with the man she loves—but only if her heart can risk the chance of love once more. This is a companion novella to The Winemakers, a full-length historical saga that has been called "a solid pick for fans of romantic sagas" by Library Journal.

Narraciones para tres.
Concebido como material de apoyo para la formación ética de los terapeutas familiares o de los profesionales interesados en la salud mental, este libro nace de procesos investigativos de sus autores y del diálogo académico que surge de esas prácticas académicas. El resultado es una comprensión triádica del cuidado, basada en la propuesta terapéutica de Michael White y David Epston, promotores del enfoque narrativo en terapia familiar, en conversación con Hoffman, Sluzki, Andersen, Agudelo y Ochoa, y con filósofos como Foucault y Ricoeur. Aquí, lo tríadico se manifiesta en la conjunción entre el cuidado de sí (el terapeuta), el cuidado del otro (el consultante) y el cuidado de lo otro (el sistema terapéutico). Se da entonces una comprensión simultánea de los participantes del sistema terapéutico y de sus encuentros, en los que tiene lugar una atención mutua, que beneficia la recuperación y la construcción identitaria mediante prácticas como la reflexión y la remembranza.
