Fome de quê?
A ideia deste livro surgiu a partir de um trecho do Sermão do Monte ("Bem-aventurados os que têm fome e sede de justiça porque serão saciados") e da música "Comida", do grupo de rock Titãs ("A gente não quer só comida. A gente quer comida, diversão, balé..."). Não temos somente fome de comida. Temos fome de tanta coisa, seja material, psicológica, espiritual... Como somos famintos! No intuito de saber do que temos fome e como saciá-la tendo como prato principal os ensinamentos de Jesus à luz da doutrina espírita, convidei pensadores espíritas e organizei este livro. Os colegas que escreveram esta obra comigo falam sobre as próprias fomes, que são também as fomes de todos nós. E falam principalmente do valioso nutriente para que todos nós, sem exceção, sejamos saciados em plenitude. Boa leitura e bom apetite! Marcelo Teixeira, organizador

The Spectrum of Factitious Disorders
Factitious disorder presents one of the most challenging variants of psychopathology in medicine.

Attempts to influence factitious patients' behavior have been largely unsuccessful. This volume covers innovative techniques for treating such patients, stressing the need to treat them with acceptance and understanding. First-person accounts are used to illustrate the intense feelings mobilized in friends, family members, caregivers, and patient...
The Manchester Museum
The Manchester Museum is the first accessible guide to the collections and activities of the UK's largest university museum and one of the most significant museums in the country. There are approximately 4.5 million objects in the Museum and most are kept in storage, inaccessible to the public.

Initially consisting of the donations of the large collections of Victorian and Edwardian amateurs, they subsequently developed through a combination of continued donations and fieldwork research around the world by academics and curators.This publication traces the history of the Museum, from its beginnings as the collection of the Manchester Society for the Promotion of Natural History, through its transfer to John Owens College, to its current position as a major asset of the University of Manchester. The Manchester Museum frames the discussion of the collections with the Museum's award-winning work with schools and colleges, its wider work to engage its many communities and its use of digital communication to enhance the visitor's interaction with the collections.
Unbeaten
For Kim Woodburn finding fame in her 60s in the smash hit television series How Clean is Your House? with fellow dust-buster Aggie Mackenzie is like living a fairytale. Often she has simply wished that she had never been born, for Kim has overcome horrific emotional and physical abuse both at the hands of her alcoholic mother and her philandering, sexually abusive father. In her brave and revealing story Kim's memories of growing up are not of love and cuddles, but of beatings and random cruelty. Shuttled between the brutal houses of her warring parents, a succession of miserable children's homes and a grim convent - Kim's past has cast a long shadow over her life. But just before her sixteenth birthday she finally made her escape. It has taken decades of hard work, and a wonderfully happy marriage to conquer depression but now she has emerged unbowed and unbeaten as Britain's Queen of Clean.
