La cicogna miope. Dalla famiglia che violenta alla famiglia che ripara
La protagonista di questo testo si chiama Chiara. Vittima di violenze gravissime nella famiglia biologica, diagnosticata "insufficiente mentale" e affetta da sindrome pre-psicotica, Chiara viene accolta da una coppia, prima affidataria e poi adottiva; inizia qui il suo lungo percorso verso la "normalità", fatto anche di cure psicologiche, che questo volume documenta. La narrazione realistica del quotidiano impegno genitoriale si integra con il confronto con la letteratura scientifica in materia e con gli interventi di sostegno: M.T. Pedrocco Biancardi - la psicologa direttamente coinvolta dalla famiglia affidataria, che con costanza la affiancherà nel percorso di riparazione - ricostruisce...
The Red Spears, 1916–1949
Before Tai Hsüan-chih’s work on the Red Spear Society, the subject was a little understood movement that seemed of only passing interest to scholars of China—intriguing for its peculiar beliefs and rituals, perhaps, but hardly of central importance to modern Chinese history. Today, however, thanks in no small measure to the pioneering work of Professor Tai, the Red Spears have gained a secure niche in scholarship on modern China. Their numbers (reaching perhaps some three million participants at the height of the movement) and enduring (lasting intermittently for several decades) should stand as reason enough for the recent scholarly attention. But the Red Spears have generated interest...
A Battlement of Spears
“WHAT cruel twist of tectonic irony caused the deepest scar on the earth’s surface across the face of that continent that would also suffer the most appalling of human tragedies?” So begins a narrative set against the backdrop of the timeless mountain called in Zulu uKhahlamba, “the Barrier of Spears.” Yet the story is not uniquely South African; it is not about apartheid, or about Blacks, or Whites. Rather, it is about the countless ‘gray’ people, ordinary individuals who become trapped in the consummation of historical inevitabilities that are neither of their doing, nor of their choosing.In a tragic series of events two friends will discover what sacrifices are exacted from those who would dwell in the no man’s land of the summit, where fog often obscures the vision and deprivation dulls the senses until it becomes all too easy to drift into hostile territory or stumble into the jaws of the precipice. But they will also learn that barriers are not always what they seem. In that hauntingly beautiful land it is never merely about survival, but about the things that make it truly worthwhile, such as friendship, loyalty, and honor, regardless of the price.
The San Marcos
The San Marcos springs have flowed for around ten million years. In this ode to the river they form, Jim Kimmel brings us a picture of a watercourse brimming with life, past and present. Native, non-native, prehistoric, and modern-day plants, animals, and people have inhabited the river and its banks. Kimmel touches on them all with the affectionate and knowledgeable voice of one whose own life has been closely linked to the San Marcos. As readers journey with Kimmel from the river's headwater springs to its junction with the Guadalupe River, The San Marcos: A River's Story will capture the imagination and provide valuable information about the river and its crucial role in the ecological health of Texas. Original photographs by Jerry Touchstone Kimmel add a sense of the beauty and complexity of the river.
