        Vitamin D

        The healing power of the sunshine vitamin

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick

        Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!

        Nach Freud

        Aus dem Französischen von Peter Assion, Hermann Lang, Eva Moldenhauer, Annette und Georg Roellenbleck

        by J.-B. Pontalis, Peter Assion

        Pontalis verfolgt mit dem hier vorliegenden Buch die Absicht, Freuds theoretische Positionen zu überprüfen und sie dort, wo es notwendig erscheint, kritisch fortzuentwickeln, um die Psychoanalyse als wissenschaftliche Theorie für die Gegenwart handhabbar zu machen. Ausgangspunkt von Pontalisʼ Untersuchung ist die These, daß sich für die Psychoanalyse »nach Freud« neuartige Probleme stellen, die es erst einmal zu formulieren gilt. Das betrifft insbesondere die Rolle der Sprache als Brücke zwischen Analytiker und Patient, als Mittel und Ziel des therapeutischen Prozesses, schließlich als Medium, in dem die Heilpraxis zur Theorie gerinnt. Nicht minder wichtig ist Pontalisʼ Polemik gegen Versuche, die Psychoanalyse mittels Umbiegung in eine Theorie der Anpassung, wie sie besonders von der Ich-Psychologie angloamerikanischer Prägung betrieben wird, in ihren entscheidenden Punkten zu verflachen. Insofern erweist sich Pontalis als durchaus orthodoxer Analytiker auch da, wo er Freuds Auffassungen kritisiert.

        Das Vokabular der Psychoanalyse

        by J. Laplanche, J.-B. Pontalis, Emma Moersch, Daniel Lagache

        Der Psychoanalytiker J. Laplanche und der Philosoph J.-B. Pontalis haben die gesamte psychoanalytische Literatur durchgearbeitet und zu einem »Vokabular der Psychoanalyse« zusammengetragen. Das Vokabular definiert nicht nur die von Freud und einigen seiner Schüler eingeführten und mittlerweile über die halbe Welt verbreiteten Ausdrücke, sondern erörtert ihre Entstehung, ihre Wandlungen, ihren heutigen Status, um ihre Bedeutung innerhalb der psychoanalytischen Theorie und Praxis zu entschlüsseln. Der gesamte begriffliche Apparat der Psychoanalyse wird so unter drei Gesichtspunkten analysiert: Geschichte, Struktur, Problematik.

        Die Stimme und das Phänomen

        Einführung in das Problem des Zeichens in der Phänomenologie Husserls

        by Jacques Derrida, Hans-Dieter Gondek

        Mit gleich drei Büchern, die allesamt zu Gründungsdokumenten des postmodernen Denkens geworden sind, hat Jaques Derrida 1967 die philosophische Weltbühne betreten: »De la grammatologie«, »L’écriture et la différence« und »La voix et le phénomène«. Letzteres, das hier in der Neuübersetzung von Hans-Dieter Gondek vorgelegt wird, entwickelt anhand einer gleichermaßen skrupulösen wie erhellenden Lektüre von Edmund Husserls »Logischen Untersuchungen« Derridaas Sicht auf zentrale zeichentheoretische Theoreme der abendländischen Metaphysik und phänomenologischen Sprachtheorie. »Die Stimme und das Phänomen« ist somit nicht nur eine luzide und kritische Einführung in das Denken der »différance» sowie in den Zeichenbegriff Husserls, sondern geradezu das Paradebeispiel einer dekonstruktiven Lektüre.

        Jean-Jacques Beineix

        by Philip Powrie

        This volume is the first to examine, in either French or English, the films of Jean-Jacques Beineix, often seen as the best example of the 1980s cinéma du look, with cult films, such as Diva and Betty Blue (37º 2 le matin) .. After an introduction which places Beineix in the context of the 1980s and the arguments centering on a postmodern cinema, the volume devotes a chapter to each of Beineix's feature films, including the film which marked his return to feature film making after a break of a decade, Mortel Transfert (2001). Prefaced by an excellent foreword by the director himself, which includes a broad condemnation of French critics. Includes many illustrations direct from the director's own collection, complementing the interviews Powrie made with him and his collaborators.

        by Lido Loschi

        Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga.

In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

        Representing Renaissance art, c.1500–c.1600

        by Catherine E. King

        Representing Renaissance art, c.1500-c.1600 is a study of change and continuity in the iconographies of art and the visual representation of artists during the sixteenth century, especially in Italy and the Netherlands. The issue of how, and how far, artists obtained higher status for their profession during the Renaissance is a key question for the study of the early modern period. This book considers the maintenance of well-established traditions for the visual representation of artists, and also examines the new iconographies that emerged in the sixteenth century. By highlighting art and architecture that artists designed for their personal use, including the decoration of their houses, this study provides insight into the tastes and 'ways of looking' specific to artists. By examining the visual evidence we see the opinions both of artists who expressed their views in literary texts, and additionally those of artists who did not publish their ideas in written form.
