        Helen Muspratt, photographer

        by Jessica Sutcliffe

        Born into a civil service family in India in 1907, Helen Muspratt was a lifelong communist, a member of the Cambridge intellectual milieu of the 1930s, and a working mother at a time when such a role was unusual for women of her class. She was also a pioneering photographer, creating an extraordinary body of work in many different styles and genres. In partnership with Lettice Ramsey she made portraits of many notable figures of the 1930s in the fields of science and culture. Her experimental photography, using techniques such as solarisation and multiple exposure, bears comparison with the innovations of Man Ray and Lee Miller. This book reproduces some of Helen Muspratt's most important photographic images, including documentary records of the Soviet Union and the Welsh valleys. The accompanying text by Jessica Sutcliffe is an intimate and revealing memoir of her mother that offers a fascinating insight into her life, work and politics. ;

        Cutting and Self-Harm, Second Edition

        by M. Foster Olive, Ph.D.

        Intentional self-harm, often in the form of cutting one's self, is generally associated with emotional or mental distress, especially when observed among teens. When in pain, the human body releases calming endorphins, leading some to injure themselves to experience the endorphin euphoria. Self-harm is associated with mental health disorders such as borderline personality disorder, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa. And while those who engage in self-harm may not intend themselves any serious physical injury, such risky behavior can result in death. Cutting and Self-Harm discusses the most common types of self-injurious behavior, what they mean, how they can be treated, and how they can be prevented.Chapters include: What Is Self-Harm? Who Engages In Self-Harm? Self-Harm and Mental Illness Diagnosis and Treatment of Self-Harm Prevention of Self-Harm

Er ist in die Geschichte als »Philosoph auf dem Kaiserthron« eingegangen, als der letzte Stoiker der Alten Welt. Die längste Zeit seiner neunzehn Jahre währenden Herrschaft verbrachte er im Heerlager, um die Barbarenstürme abzuwehren, die das Römische Reich erschütterten. Dabei half ihm die Philosophie, Ruhe und inneren Frieden zu bewahren. Mit seinem Tod endete für das Römische Reich eine Zeit der weitgehenden Stabilität. Das Reiterstandbild auf dem Kapitol in Rom und die Markussäule auf der Piazza Colona erinnern bis heute an sein Wirken.

Aus der freudigen Stimmung dieser Wiederbegegnung mit seiner Heimatstadt heraus entstand Anfang der 20er Jahre ein Radierzyklus mit Alltagsszenen und den Bezugspersonen seiner Kindheit. Liebevoll dargestellt sind die Eltern und die Großeltern, Chagalls Geburt, das Geburtshaus, der erste Kuß, die Hochzeit, Straßenszenen oder die wehmutsvolle Begegnung mit den Grabstätten der Eltern – es ist der Fundus von Chagalls malerischem und graphischem Werk.
