The Icon Effect
Vincent is a 27-year old aspiring entrepreneur with big dreams. But after going through a devastating divorce, he finds himself emotionally drained, lacking confidence and dead broke. However, a chance encounter with The Icon (a billionaire business mogul) results in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the direction of his life, forever. Vincent becomes the newest protege of The Icon, and is offered an internship at the most powerful wealth management firm in Beverly Hills. The Icon becomes his business mentor, his father-figure and his best friend. The Icon Effect is both an inspirational story and an aspirational story about the power of faith, belief and second chances. You will undoubtedly find yourself rooting for Vincent the underdog as he discovers the magic of having a true mentor.
Friday's Fade
Fridays fade, but Friday's Fade is forever—branded into the souls of those who dared to witness the beast. Astrid Draven Evers was supposed to have it all. A bright future, loyal friends, and the promise of something more with Julian—a boy who once made her feel safe. But everything shattered the night she was lured to Friday's Fade, an underground party where excess knows no limits. Drugged, violated, and discarded, she became just another forgotten girl—another victim in a world that lets monsters walk free. But Astrid refuses to be forgotten. After barely surviving that night, she disappears, returning only when she's ready to destroy them all. With her best friend Hanna by her side...
Queenship, Gender, and Reputation in the Medieval and Early Modern West, 1060-1600
This edited collection opens new ways to look at queenship in areas and countries not usually studied and reflects the increasingly interdisciplinary work and geographic range of the field. This book is a forerunner in queenship and re-invents the reputations of the women and some of the men. The contributors answers questions about the nature of queenship, reputation of queens, and gender roles in the medieval and early modern west. The essays question the viability of propaganda, gossip, and rumor that still characterizes some queens in modern histories. The wide geographic range covered by the contributors moves queenship studies beyond France and England to understudied places such as Sw...
Another Me
A figure from ancient folklore, the doppelganger--in fiction a character's sinister look-alike--continues to appear in literature, television and film. The modern-day version (of the Doppelganger, or "double-goer" in German) is typically depicted in a form adapted to reflect present-day social anxieties. Focusing on a broad range of narratives, the author explores 21st century representations in novels (such as Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry, Jose Saramago's The Double), television shows (Orphan Black, Battlestar Galactica, Ringer) and movies (The Island, The Prestige, Oblivion).
The Unconscious
Weaving together state-of-the-art research, theory, and clinical insights, this book provides a new understanding of the unconscious and its centrality in human functioning. The authors review heuristics, implicit memory, implicit learning, attribution theory, implicit motivation, automaticity, affective versus cognitive salience, embodied cognition, and clinical theories of unconscious functioning. They integrate this work with cognitive neuroscience views of the mind to create an empirically supported model of the unconscious. Arguing that widely used psychotherapies--including both psychodynamic and cognitive approaches--have not kept pace with current science, the book identifies promising directions for clinical practice. Winner--American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize (Theory)
From Sounds to Structures
The term ‘Maya’, in Indian traditions, refers to our sensory perception of the world and, as such, to a superficial reality (or ‘un–reality’) that we must look beyond to find the inner reality of things. Applied to the study of language, we perceive sounds, a superficial reality, and then we seek structures, the underlying reality in what we call phonology, morphology, and syntax. This volume starts with an introduction by the editors, which shows how the various papers contained in the volume reflect the spectrum of research interests of Andrea Calabrese, as well as his influence on the work of colleagues and his students. Contributors, united in their search for the abstract stru...
