ABOUT THE BOOK
 
New York Times bestselling author Jonah Lehrer has produced another bestseller—this time focusing on the creative mind. His book, Imagine: How Creativity Works, was released on March 18, 2012. According to MarketWatch.com, by April 8 it was number one on the NYT bestseller list, following in the footsteps of Lehrer’s prior books, How We Decide, and Proust Was a Neuroscientist.
 
 Creativity is an attribute often desired more in theory than in fact. In practice it is often marginalized and discouraged in the harsh environment of the real world. In a time when the need for productivity and ingenuity are vitally needed, understanding how to foster creativity with understanding and intelligent application is vital. Teachers, businessmen, economists, scientists, and politicians observing the challenges facing the world and its nations understand the desperate need for creative, innovative thinkers. Individuals, yearning to live satisfying, productive lives, long for ways to ignite their own creative abilities.
 
Understanding of how human creativity functions and what supports creative ability has been a human goal for centuries. In our current time, modern research allows a better understanding than at any time in the past. Imagine offers insights into these discoveries, and hints as to how we can encourage creative growth, in small ways and large.
 
Imagine covers the neurological, psychological, and environmental factors currently believed to promote successful creative production. The book focuses on three primary areas of creative endeavor.
 
    Artistic creativity: music, writing, and film, among others.
 
    Scientific creativity: mainly mathematics, physics, neuroscience.
 
    Economic creativity: business creativity which pursues breakthroughs in ways that can be marked, and which develops creative methods of marketing salable products and services.
Verfügbar seit: 30.07.2012.

    The Secret Language of Cravings...

    Do you understand what your food cravings are trying to tell you? 
    Are you dealing with an unwanted overeating or binge-eating habit? Have you tried to curb your cravings with diets and restrictive eating plans, only to fail again and again? 
    Consider this: the reason diets haven’t worked for you is that they’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.  
    What if your cravings are trying to communicate something important? And what if the way to resolve them is to listen what they have to say? 
    Contrary to what most modern self-help and dieting approaches say, cravings are not a broken part of you that needs to be fixed. The Secret Language of Cravings will help to teach you what those cravings are trying to tell you, and how they are attempting to alert you to your perfect human design. 
    For 30+ years, author Alexandra Amor searched for answers about why she had a persistent overeating habit. All the self-help books she read, all the classes she took, all the therapy she had and all the diets she tried didn’t even begin to solve the problem. In fact, despite all that work and effort, her cravings got worse. 
    Then in 2017, she stumbled across a little-known field of psychology that points us away from the pathologization of our human experience and instead looks toward our innate well-being and perfect human design. After decades of trying to suppress, manage, and dominate her food cravings, Amor instead began to listen to them, and to speak their language. With this, everything changed.  
    If you’d like to resolve your overeating or binge-eating habit once and for all, without willpower or white knuckles, this book will help you do that by teaching you to understand the secret language of cravings.

    “A brilliant and bracing analysis of the Palestine question and settler colonialism . . . a vital lens into movement lawyering on the international plane.” —Vasuki Nesiah, New York University, founding member of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL)   Justice in the Question of Palestine is often framed as a question of law. Yet none of the Israel-Palestinian conflict’s most vexing challenges have been resolved by judicial intervention. Occupation law has failed to stem Israel’s settlement enterprise. Laws of war have permitted killing and destruction during Israel’s military offensives in the Gaza Strip. The Oslo Accord’s two-state solution is now dead letter.   Justice for Some offers a new approach to understanding the Palestinian struggle for freedom, told through the power and control of international law. Focusing on key junctures—from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza—Noura Erakat shows how the strategic deployment of law has shaped current conditions. Over the past century, the law has done more to advance Israel’s interests than the Palestinians’. But, Erakat argues, this outcome was never inevitable.    Law is politics, and its meaning and application depend on the political intervention of states and people alike. Within the law, change is possible. International law can serve the cause of freedom when it is mobilized in support of a political movement. Presenting the promise and risk of international law, Justice for Some calls for renewed action and attention to the Question of Palestine.  “Careful and captivating . . . This book asks that the Palestinian liberation struggle and Jewish-Israeli society each reckon with the impossibility of a two-state future, reimagining what their interests are—and what they could become.” —Amanda McCaffrey, Jewish Currents

    What should a therapist do when a patient reveals critical information at the end of a session? 
     
     
     
    It's a near-universal experience among mental health practitioners: a patient drops a bombshell—a critical disclosure that moves the treatment forward—on their way out, with a hand on the doorknob. This "doorknob moment" creates a stressful dilemma for clinicians, especially when the patient is distraught. Should the clinician end the session on time, or run over and be late for the next patient? 
     
     
     
    Here, seasoned psychiatrist Daniela V. Gitlin provides clinicians with a clear, evidence-based answer. By conceptualizing the functional differences between patient and therapist in the treatment relationship as a metaphor for the functional differences between right and left cerebral hemispheres, Gitlin's argument yields a comprehensive explanation for why doorknob moments occur, why they are necessary to prevent treatment stagnation, and why ending on time makes patients feel safer to deliver them.

    On death row, the poorest and most numerous, with no family and no decent lawyer, are sometimes executed before all their appeals have been exhausted. Their fate consigned to modest prison cemeteries. In Texas, the number engraved on the cement stone begins with 999.
    Out of 50 American states, 34 still have the death penalty. Why and how? The author's investigation took him to California, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Pennsylvania. A human immersion into the heart of American society and its judicial system, through encounters with death row inmates, lawyers and victims' families.
    This fascinating book finely deconstructs the American myth of fair and infallible justice—from the deplorable conditions of confinement to daily abuse, from random legal recourse to political and judicial manipulation. More than just a sentence, the death penalty appears to be torture with many faces. And in an America on the move, there are signs that abolition is on the way. 
    999, is the fruit of a fact-finding mission carried out by the French association, Ensemble contre la peine de mort (ECPM), with financial support from the European Union.
