A Possible Life

A Possible Life
By:"Sebastian Faulks"
Published on 2012-12-11 by Macmillan

From the critically acclaimed, bestselling author of Birdsong, new fiction about love and war—five transporting stories and five unforgettable lives, linked across centuries. In Second World War Poland, a young prisoner closes his eyes and pictures going to bat on a sunlit English cricket ground. Across the yard of a Victorian poorhouse, a man is too ashamed to acknowledge the son he gave away. In a 19th-century French village, an old servant understands—suddenly and with awe—the meaning of the Bible story her master is reading to her. On a summer evening in the Catskills in 1971, a skinny girl steps out of a Chevy with a guitar and with a song that will send shivers through her listeners' skulls. A few years from now, in Italy, a gifted scientist discovers links between time and the human brain and between her lover's novel and his life. Throughout the five masterpieces of fiction that make up A Possible Life, exquisitely drawn and unforgettable characters risk their bodies, hearts and minds in pursuit of the manna of human connection. Between soldier and lover, parent and child, servant and master, and artist and muse, important pleasures and pains are born of love, separations and missed opportunities. These interactions—whether successful or not—also affect the long trajectories of characters' lives. Provocative and profound, Sebastian Faulks's dazzling new novel journeys across continents and centuries not only to entertain with superb old-fashioned storytelling but to show that occasions of understanding between humans are the one thing that defines us—and that those moments, however fluid, are the one thing that endures.

Paul and Ancient Views of Sexual Desire

Paul and Ancient Views of Sexual Desire
By:"J Edward Ellis"
Published on 2007-06-08 by Bloomsbury Publishing

Paul and Ancient Views of Sexual Desire refutes the argument put forward by some scholars that Paul, in his sexual ethics, is in partial agreement with a current of thought in the Greco-Roman world that condemns sexual desire and advocates the elimination of such desire from marital sex. Ellis argues against not only this line of thought but also the attendant notion that this way of thinking underlies Paul's comments on homosexual activity in Romans 1. Through close analysis of numerous ancient passages relating to sexual desire, Ellis demonstrates that ancient thinkers tend to condemn not sexual desire in itself but excessive sexual desire and lack of self-control. Furthermore, he contends that ancient auditors would have been unlikely to see condemnation of sexual desire in Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians 4 or 1 Corinthians 7.

Missing Christopher

Missing Christopher
By:"Jayne Newling"
Published on 2014 by Allen & Unwin

Christopher was seventeen and had everything to live for. He was smart, charismatic, loving, and deeply loved, and a champion rugby player. Yet he was struggling. Diagnosed a year earlier with depression and severe anxiety, he hid his fears from family and friends. Finally, Christopher chose to stop fighting. This is the story of Christopher's shocking death and its tragic aftermath for the family. It is also the story of a mother and father's love, and their determination not to lose another son to the temptation of taking his own life. Honest, raw, and deeply moving, Jayne's account brings to life the visceral experience of grief and the long, painful journey towards finding meaning in life again. This is compelling and inspirational reading for anyone affected by the death of a young person. 'The cruellest loss in the world is the death of a child, no matter what their age. This is a fine and moving book about a mother's difficult path to finding meaning in life again after the loss of her child.' - Anne Deveson, author of Tell Me I'm Here 'Her journey through grief is enveloping, harrowing, even excruciating at times, at others poignant and revealing.' - Mal McKissock, author of Coping with Grief

Attachment Style Change and Symptom Change in Brief Psychotherapy: A Naturalistic Study

Attachment Style Change and Symptom Change in Brief Psychotherapy: A Naturalistic Study
By:
Published on 2008 by ProQuest

The present study examined the relationship between client attachment style and therapy utilization and symptom change. Participants included 90 clients from a Mid-Atlantic university counseling center at intake and 33 clients who participated to termination. Participants completed questionnaires regarding demographic information, adult attachment, and symptom distress prior to therapy and after termination. Measures of the clients' therapeutic alliance were ascertained following the 3rd session of therapy. Results indicated that clients' attachment style was associated with initial symptom distress. Participants with a preoccupied or fearful attachment style reported greater symptom distress than those with a secure or dismissing attachment style. There was a positive correlation between attachment avoidance and treatment utilization; however attachment avoidance was negatively related to clients' ratings of the therapy alliance. Results demonstrated that 21% of the sample displayed significant change in attachment and 33% in symptom distress. Regression analysis of residual change scores suggested that change in attachment anxiety accounted for a significant amount of variance in change in symptom distress. Results suggest change in attachment is related to symptom change. The implications of the findings for future research and practice are discuss.

Occasional Desire

Occasional Desire
By:"David Lazar"
Published on 2013-09-01 by U of Nebraska Press

In his new collection of essays, Occasional Desire, David Lazar meditates on random violence and vanished phone booths, on the excessive relationship to jewelry that links Kobe Bryant and Elizabeth Taylor, on Hitchcock, Francis Bacon, and M. F. K. Fisher. He explores, in his concentrically self-aware, amused, and ironic voice, what it means to be occasionally aware that we are surviving by our wits, and that our desires, ulterior or obvious, are what keep us alive. Lazar also turns his attention on the essay itself, affording us a three-dimensional look at the craft and the art of reading and writing a literary form that maps the world as it charts the peregrinations of the mind. Lazar is especially interested in the trappings of memory, the trapdoors of memory, the way we gild or codify, select, soften, and self-delude ourselves based on our understanding of the past. His own process of selection and reflection reminds us of how far this literary form can take us, bound only by the limits of desire and imagination.

Virtuous Love: Messages for Brides and Grooms in the Fifteenth-century \

Virtuous Love: Messages for Brides and Grooms in the Fifteenth-century \
By:"Sara Marker"
Published on 2011 by

A series of forty-two circular and oval engravings dating from 1465 to 1475 depict playful scenes of lovers, putti, and exemplary women. These engravings, known to scholars as the 0́−Otto prints,0́+ were likely pasted onto small boxes called forzierini, which were presented to women after their betrothal by their future groom. The goal of this thesis is to place the 0́−Otto prints0́+ within the extensive network of fifteenth-century marriage art by comparing the style and content of the engravings to other objects exchanged during the betrothal period. The engravings display subject matter and inscriptions that can be found on cassoni, mirrors, maiolica dishes, and boxes produced during the same time period. The 0́−Otto prints,0́+ like these other objects, contain messages for the bride and groom encouraging virtuous and gender-specific behavior. Many of the engravings encourage chastity, especially for the bride, and discourage lust outside of the marital union. Three subjects found on six of the 0́−Otto prints0́+ will be examined in detail, Judith and Holofernes, the punishment of Eros, and a woman stealing her lover0́9s heart. Each of these subjects represents a variation of the Wiebermacht; that is, the theme of the power of women over men. This thesis examines the ways in which the artist uses these subjects to educate the bride and groom on their roles within their union.

And if the moment does pass, it never goes that far. It stands in the distance, ready for whenever you want it back.

Taking Tuscany
By:"Renee Riva"
Published on 2010-01-01 by David C Cook

A. J. Degulio loved the idea of a visit to the Old Country—until her family decided to stay. Now it's 1972 and she's turning fourteen in a crumbling castle on a hill in Tuscany, wishing she were back in Idaho with her beloved dog, Sailor. In Italy, her fair complexion and blonde hair make her stick out like a vanilla wafer in a box of chocolate biscotti, and she's so lonely her best friend is a nun from the local convent. What's worse, her grandma's losing her marbles and Mama's going crazy over Uncle Nick's ugly blue villa, which she can see from every window. The challenges of roots and relatives are nothing new to A. J. but factor in language, culture shock, and a bad case of homesickness, and A. J.'s going to need more than the famous Degulio sense of humor to survive. It will take a catastrophe—and a few wise words from a friend—for A. J. to understand that sometimes the only thing you can change is your perspective.
