"A wise and perceptive journey into grief and the ways we seek to assuage it. Incredibly powerful reading for all who have known, or who will inevitably know, loss." --Lauren Elkin, author of Flâneuse and Art MonstersIn this lyrical and moving story of the world of Prolonged Grief, journalist Cody Delistraty reflects on his experience with loss and explores what modern science, history, and literature reveal about the nature of our relationship to grief and our changing attitudes toward its cure.When Cody Delistraty lost his mother to cancer in his early 20s, he found himself unsure how to move forward. The typical advice was to move through the five stages, achieve closure, get back to work, go back to normal. So begins a journey into the new frontiers of grief, where Delistraty seeks out the researchers, technologists, therapists, marketers, and communities around the world who may be able to cure the pain of loss in novel ways. From the neuroscience of memory deletion to book prescriptions, laughter therapy, psilocybin, and Breakup Bootcamp, what ultimately emerges is not so much a cure as a fresh understanding of what living with grief truly means. As Delistraty created his own ad hoc treatment plan, the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization gave extended, disruptive grief an official name: Prolonged Grief Disorder. A diagnosis, based on meeting several symptoms and contingencies, has opened innovative avenues of treatment and an important conversation about a debilitating form of grief, but it has also opened a debate as to whether this form of grief, no matter how severe and unrelenting, is best approached medically at all.Braiding deep, emotional resonance with sharp research and historical insight, Delistraty places his own experience in dialogue with great writers and thinkers throughout history who have puzzled over this eternal question: how might we best face loss?

Harold Bell Lasseter had always claimed he had found an immense reef of gold hundreds of miles west of Alice Springs. In 1930, with Australia in the grip of Depression, a privately funded expedition led by Fred Blakeley, accompanied Lasseter in an attempt to relocate the reef. Blakeley left Lasseter at Ililba, and Lasseter continued his trek towards the Olgas with a dingo shooter and their camels. Lasseter continued to be introspective and brood, prompting Lasseter to go off alone with two camels.In March 1931 an expedition led by bushman Bob Buck found Lasseter's body at Winter's Glen, and his diary at Hull's Creek, wherein it describes how after his camels bolted, he was alone in the desert, encountering a group of nomadic Aboriginals who offered him food and shelter. Blind, exhausted and dying, Lasseter made one last attempt to walk from Hull's Creek to Uluru.The diary was purchased by Ion Idriess from Lasseter's widow in 1931, and from it he wrote the best-seller Lasseter's Last Ride. Here is the transcription of the diary with its original mud-maps and drawings.

"A thoroughly revised and expanded edition of Thomas C. Foster's classic guide-a lively and entertaining introduction to literature and literary basics, including symbols, themes and contexts, that shows you how to make your everyday reading experience more rewarding and enjoyable. While many books can be enjoyed for their basic stories, there are often deeper literary meanings interwoven in these texts. How to Read Literature Like a Professor helps us to discover those hidden truths by looking at literature with the eyes-and the literary codes-of the ultimate professional reader, the college professor. What does it mean when a literary hero is traveling along a dusty road? When he hands a drink to his companion? When he's drenched in a sudden rain shower? Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices and form, Thomas C. Foster provides us with a broad overview of literature-a world where a road leads to a quest, a shared meal may signify a communion, and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just a shower-and shows us how to make our reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun. This revised edition includes new chapters, a new preface and epilogue, and incorporates updated teaching points that Foster has developed over the past decade. Foster updates his classic text with ore writers and books in the contemporary pantheon, including: Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give, Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, Elizabeth Acevedo's The Poet X ), Helen Oyeyemi's Mr. Fox and Boy, Snow, Bird, Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street, Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet, Madeline Miller's Circe, Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls, and Tahereh Mafi's A Very Large Expanse of Sea"--

Τις εξηγήσεις και λύσεις των παραδειγμάτων τις βρίσκουμε στο τέλος του ασπρόμαυρου βιβλίου ή τις κατεβάζουμε από τα downloads στην ιστοσελίδα μας.>ΠΩΣ ΝΑ ΔΟΥΛΕΥΟΥΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΜΕΘΟΔΟ Α) Βλέπουμε το βίντεο της κάθε θεωρίας.Β) Μαθαίνουμε τις λέξεις του κάθε κεφαλαίου.Γ) Κάνουμε τις ασκήσεις και τις συγκρίνουμε με τις λύσεις και τις εξηγήσεις>Η ιδέα να γράψω αυτό το βιβλίο, προέκυψε από την ανάγκη να γίνει η εκμάθηση μιας γλώσσας όσο γίνεται πιο γρήγορη και εύκολη, μιας και δεν ήταν ποτέ ως τώρα τόσο σημαντικό να μαθαίνει κάποιος τόσες γλώσσες! Χρειάστηκαν πάνω από είκοσι χρόνια προσωπικής έρευνας, μέχρι να ολοκληρώσω το όλο πρόγραμμα! Διαπίστωσα με τον καιρό ότι η κάθε γλώσσα διαθέτει την δική της σύνταξη και λογική. Η διαφορά των ελληνικών με τα γερμανικά είναι αρκετά μεγάλη. Το να το καταλάβεις αυτό και μόνο (από την πλευρά των μαθητών), χρειαζόταν πολύς χρόνος. Για να γίνει αυτό πιο κατανοητό θα συγκρίνουμε την σύνταξη κάποιων γλωσσών! Παράδειγμα Ελληνικά: Μα εγώ δεν θέλω να σου το εξηγήσω σήμερα στο σχολείο.Αγγλικά: Μα εγώ δεν θέλω να εξηγήσω το σου στο σχολείο σήμερα.Ισπανικά Μα εγώ δεν θέλω εξηγήσωσουτο σήμερα στο σχολείο. Γερμανικά: Εγώ θέλω το σου μα σήμερα δεν στο σχολείο εξηγήσω. Οι περισσότεροι μαθητές και ιδιαίτερα οι μικρότεροι όταν μαθαίνουν μία ξένη γλώσσα τοποθετούν τις λέξεις με την σειρά, που τις χρησιμοποιούν στην μητρική τους γλώσσα. Η αλλαγή του τρόπου σκέψης θα ήταν και χωρίς κανόνες εφικτή, αλλά θα απαιτούσε πολύ χρόνο, κόπο και προσπάθεια. Τώρα πλέον αυτό δεν είναι κανένα πρόβλημα, μιάς και όλ' αυτά εξηγούνται βήμα προς βήμα από την αρχή αναλυτικά, ώστε να μπορεί κάποιος να διορθώνεται και μόνος του! Έχουμε λοιπόν αποκωδικοποιήσει την σύνταξη των γλωσσών!Όλες οι ασκήσεις είναι επαναληπτικές και έτσι δεν ξεχνιούνται τα γραμματικά και συντακτικά φαινόμενα. Σύντομα θα έχουμε εξηγήσει τις δέκα πιο πολυμιλημένες γλώσσες του κόσμου και στο μέλλον ευελπιστούμε να εξηγήσουμε όλες τις γλώσσε

"Sol Reyes has had a rough year. After a series of workplace incidents at her university lab culminates in a plagiarism accusation, Sol is put on probation. Dutiful visits to her homophobic father aren't helping her mental health, and she finds her nightly glass of wine becoming more of an all-day-and-all-bottle-event.

Suddenly, a number of strange occurrences--doors and stairs disappearing, roots growing inside the house--cause Sol to wonder if her social paranoia isn't built on something more sinister"--
