PsychologyACT: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
With ACT Questionnaires for Clinical Assessment, 100 Questions
by Paolo Moderato, Giovambattista Presti, Francesco dell’Orco
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychotherapeutic intervention based on experimental evidence. Its goal is to help people implement concrete behaviors in accordance with their values even in the presence of diffcult or interfering events. The authors clearly describe how ACT works and provide useful guidance for clinical practice. Soon the concepts of fusion and defusion become familiar and the Hexafex a way of thinking rather than appearing as a mere scheme. Acceptance and commitment replace refusal and renunciation: this is the innovative therapeutic challenge of ACT. This manual, enriched with metaphors and exercises that can be used in a therapeutic session, is intended for reading by specialists by tackling the themes of this approach with rigor and depth, taking the reader step by step into the heart of ACT. The appendix contains seven ACT questionnaires for clinical assessment.

THE KETER
by Amnon Shamosh
Amnon Shamosh The Aleppo Codex (the Hebrew term "Keter," literally meaning "crown," signifies a codex of the Bible, as opposed to a scroll) is the earliest known manuscript comprising the full text of the Bible. In all probability, it is also the most authoritative, accurate, and sacred source document, both for the biblical text and for its vocalization, cantillation, and "Massorah" (literally "transmission" of the Bible, the oral and written tradition by which the holy scriptures have been preserved and passed on from generation to generation). As such, the Aleppo Codex has achieved a position of preeminence among Hebraic and Judaic manuscripts, and is of greater religious and scholarly import than any other manuscript of the Bible. A time-honored tradition invests the Codex with a unique aura of authority, reverence, and sanctity, and maintains that this was the manuscript consulted by Maimonides in setting down the exact rules for writing scrolls of the Torah (deduced from his comment: "I used it as a basis for the copy of the 'Sefer Torah', which I wrote according to the Law"). The Rabbis and elders of the Aleppo community guarded the Codex jealously for some six hundred years. The drama (if not the trauma) of its loss during the 1947 anti-Jewish riots in Aleppo when the local synagogue was set on fire, turned to joy and relief when it was rediscovered (albeit partially) thanks to intensive, dramatic rescue efforts, and brought to Jerusalem. Born in Syria in 1929, Amnon Shamosh immigrated to Tel Aviv as a child, and later became one of the founding members of Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch, where he resides today. A graduate of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, author of both poetry and prose for children and adults, his work has been translated into English, Spanish, and French, and one of his novels was made into a mini-series for television. Amnon Shamosh is a recipient of the Agnon Prize, named after the celebrated Israeli Nobel Laureate in Literature, the Shalom-Aleichem Prize, the Prime Minister's Prize for Creativity, the President of Israel's Award for Literature, and numerous other literary awards.

KETER - Der Aleppo–Kodex
by Amnon Shamosh
KETER - Der Aleppo–Kodex - von Amnon Shamosh Der bekannte Autor stellt in diesem illustrierten Buch seine Forschungen über den Aleppo-Kodex, hebräisch: Keter * vor. Der Keter ist wohl das früheste bekannte Manuskript, das den gesamten Bibeltext umfaßt. Mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit ist es heute das am besten erhaltene Quellendokument für den biblischen Text selbst und ermöglicht Einsichten über den Stil und die Art und Weise der Überlieferung **. Er hat somit einen kanonischen Status erreicht und eine herausragende Bedeutung unter den frühen hebräischen und jüdischen Manuskripten Der Keter war das Manuskript, das Maimonides zu Rate zog, als er die verbindlichen Regeln für die künftige Beschriftung der Torah – Rollen aufstellte (belegt durch seinen Kommentar: „Ich nutzte es als Grundlage für eine Abschrift der Sefer – Torah, die ich gemäß dem Gesetz geschrieben habe“). Die Rabbiner und Alten der jüdischen Gemeinde von Aleppo konnten den Kodex rund sechshundert Jahre lang in ihrer Synagoge bewahren. Das Drama (wenn nicht sogar Trauma seines Verlustes) als die Synagoge während der anti-jüdischen Verfolgungen nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg in Brand gesteckt wurde, mündete schließlich in große Erleichterung: der Kodex wurde fast vollständig wiederentdeckt. Nach intensiven und engagierten Restaurierungen befindet er sich heute in Jerusalem. (über den Autor siehe Die Safras) * (zu deutsch: Krone), Handschrift der Bibel in Buchform im Gegensatz zur Schriftrolle ** Hebräisch: Massorah, d.h. die mündliche und schriftliche Tradition, mit der die heiligen Texte überliefert und von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben wurden.

El KETER: el Códice de Alepo
by Amnon Shamosh
El KETER: el Códice de Alepo por Amnon Shamosh El códice de Alepo (el término hebreo "Keter", cuyo significado literal es "corona", simboliza un códice de la Biblia, a diferencia de un rollo manuscrito) es el primer manuscrito conocido que incluye el texto completo de la Biblia. Sin lugar a dudas se trata del documento de origen sagrado más fidedigno y preciso, por su texto bíblico y por su vocalización, cantilación bíblica, y "Massorah" (literalmente "transmisión" de la Biblia, la tradición oral y escrita gracias a la cual las escrituras sagradas se han preservado y transmitido de generación en generación). Como tal, el códice de Alepo ha logrado una posición de preeminencia entre los manuscritos hebraicos y judaicos y es de gran trascendencia religiosa y erudita, más que cualquier otro manuscrito de la Biblia. Una antigua tradición confiere al códice un aura única de autoridad, reverencia y santidad y sostiene que Maimónides lo consultó al establecer las reglas exactas para escribir manuscritos de la Torá (esto se deduce de su comentario: "lo he utilizado como base para el ejemplar del 'Sefer Torá', que escribí según la ley"). Los rabinos y ancianos de la comunidad de Aleppo protegieron celosamente el códice durante unos seiscientos años. La desgracia (si no el trauma) que representó su pérdida durante los disturbios antijudíos en Alepo en 1947, cuando la sinagoga local fue incendiada, se tornó en alegría y alivio al ser redescubierto (aunque no completo) gracias a intensivos y espectaculares esfuerzos de rescate y finalmente fue traído a Jerusalén. Amnon Shamosh nació en Siria en 1929, inmigró a Tel Aviv de niño y llegó a ser posteriormente uno de los miembros fundadores de Kibutz Ma'ayan Baruj, donde reside hasta la fecha. Se graduó en la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén y ha escrito tanto poesía como prosa para niños y adultos. Sus obras se han traducido al inglés, al español y al francés y una de sus novelas fue llevada a la televisión en forma de miniserie. Amnon Shamosh ha sido galardonado con el Premio "Agnón" denominado en honor del célebre Premio Nóbel de Literatura israelí, el Premio "Shalom-Aleijem", el Premio del Primer Ministro a la Creatividad, el Premio de Literatura del Presidente de Israel y otros numerosos premios literarios.

by Ludwing Bemelmans
“If the world were a lemon and one were to tie a string around its middle, then that string would be what is called the Equator. It divides the world in half, and it is under the path of the sun. The bumps on the two ends of the lemon are the north pole and the south pole, both cold and icy. About where the knot of the string is, where it is warm the year round, is the land of Ecuador.”

Meurtre par la Cabale
by Nathan Erez et Dorith Ginzburg-Silberman
Meurtre par la Cabale Un Thriller ésotérique fondé sur les secrets de la cabale Nathan Erez et Dorith Ginzburg-Silberman Un thriller israélien qui associe deux éléments apparemment sans rapport l’un avec l’autre : une série de meurtres étranges et le déchiffrage d’anciens textes cabalistiques, avec leur sens caché et mystique. Un professeur de Jérusalem, expert dans le déchiffrage d’anciens manuscrits hébraïques, est chargé d’une mystérieuse mission, qui l’envoie sur trois continents. Il devient mêlé à une série de meurtres, qui le dépassent complètement. Mais il découvre rapidement que s’il ne parvient pas à déchiffrer les manuscrits énigmatiques à l’aide de ses connaissances de la cabale, beaucoup de vies, y compris celles des membres de sa propre famille, seront menacées. Entremêlés avec ce récit passionnant se trouvent de curieux passages rappelant les nombreuses conquêtes qu’a subies la ville de Jérusalem au cours de sa longue histoire ; leur connexion et leur signification ne se révéleront qu’à la fin du livre. Meurtre par la Cabale est une aventure passionnante et au rythme soutenu. Grâce à sa structure remarquable et son sujet captivant (la cabale), vous ne pourrez simplement pas le poser avant d'en connaître la fin. La solution surprenante de ce drame intègre des éléments cabalistiques et entoure le récit de magie, laissant le lecteur presque à bout de souffle. Ce livre a été écrit par Dorith Ginzburg-Silberman, en coopération avec le mystérieux cabaliste Nathan Erez, qui refuse obstinément de révéler son identité. Le Dr Silberman a écrit 17 livres jusqu’à ce jour, parmi lesquels une collection d'histoires courtes, des romans et deux livres pour enfants, ainsi que des recherches et des publications académiques. Le Dr. Silberman est conférencière de littérature dans les meilleures universités israéliennes et son travail lui a valu plusieurs prix. Elle a participé à de nombreux congrès internationaux. L’auteur est mère de trois enfants. L'édition italienne a été publiée en fin 2005 par Barbera Editore et a été chaleureusement acclamée par les médias ; celle en espagnol est sortie en mi- 2006, et l'édition portugaise en octobre 2006. L'édition tchèque est parue en Mars 2008.

The ArtsNovember 2011Real and Reel
The education of a film critic
by Brian McFarlane
From a little before ten years of age Brian McFarlane became addicted to stories told on the screen, and the mere fact that he had difficulty in getting to see the films he wanted - or any for that matter - only made them seem more alluring. But it wasn't just seeing the films that mattered: he also wanted, and quite soon needed, to be writing about them and these obsessions have been part of his life for the next sixty-odd years. Real and reel is a light-hearted and but deeply felt account of a lifetime's addiction. It is one particular writer and critic's story, but it will strike sparks among many others. Though many other interests have kept Brian McFarlane's life lively, nothing else has exerted such a long-standing grip on the author's imagination as film. Editor of the Encyclopaedia of British Cinema, co-editor of Manchester University Press's British Film Makers series, and author of over a dozen critical works on film and adaptation, Brian McFarlane's autobiographical Real and reel can also be read as a biography of the subject of Film Studies itself. ;

FictionOctober 2018Cat
by Wan Yan
“Cat” tells the story of editors, writers, poets, painters and other characters in the literary circle. There are editorial department, pen meeting, group draft, and writers’ emotional entanglements. With a profound metaphorical approach, through special literary narratives and humanity observations, the writer jumped out of the world to see the world's sharpness and calmness with the recording of cat's eyes. The ancient cats are metaphors of modernity, and the literary story code at the end of a century. A vain, wandering and shining performance, a kind of chaos of illusion and reality, life and death. An editor-in-chief named "Feng Niang" and a deputy editor-in-chief called "Old Deng" were intentionally or unintentionally involved in the whirlpool of the literary world. These emotional, ideal, earthly, spiritual, and life vortexes are mixed in literature.

A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN KILINSKI PARK
by Arieh Stav
There were rumors; a smell of fear in the air. And yet, it all happened with incredible suddenness. The Soviets were abandoning the city; the Germans were at the gates. Mera Stollar grabbed her baby and ran for her life. From that day on, her life became an odyssey of flight and survival. Thanks to her son’s Aryan appearance (as long as he did not lower his pants…), her resourcefulness and wisdom, they escaped from the city after the murder of its Jewish inhabitants. Without documents, the mother and child wandered among the back lanes of Occupied Poland under the guise of Polish refugees, until they reached Warsaw. On the way, they endured the ever present fear of capture, hunger, cold, illness and the cruelty and indifference of people; but there are also instances of compassion and mercy. Their flight is accompanied by many dangers and threats. They are thrown into the street by a Christian family for having crossed themselves left-handed; a Ukrainian informer turns them in to the police – meaning transport to Treblinka; the convoy is bombed and on the first day of the Liberation, Mera is found guilty of collaborating with the German enemy, a sin carrying a sentence of execution. A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN KILINSKI PARK also tells the stories of Rocheleh, thrown into prison over a pair of boots; Stiepan the Ukrainian policeman whose love for Vera does not prevent him from murdering her entire family; of Lieber, protected by his father’s corpse in the Susenki killing pits; Sonia the convert, who was not saved by the crucifix she wore on her throat; Granny Jadzia, the Pole who was prepared to sacrifice her life for Libi, whom she loved like a grandchild; Alex and Irena, the two Ukrainian circus artists who, ironically, come under Mera’s protection; and Rudolph, the German paratrooper whose courtship and love for Mera lead to disillusion. Arieh Stav was born in 1939 in Rovno, Poland at that time, Ukraine today. In 1951, he made aliyah with his mother. He was educated at Kibbutz Givat Haim, served in the IDF as a paratrooper and was a member of the Kibbutz until 1963, when he left and moved to Tel Aviv. He studied psychology, philosophy and drama at Tel Aviv University. Arieh Stav is the Director of the Ariel Center for Policy Research, a non-partisan organization devoted to inclusive research and discussion of political and strategic issues concerning Israel and the Jewish people. Stav is the editor of Nativ, a bi-monthly periodical on politics and the arts, author and editor of numerous books and research studies. He has translated (to Hebrew) and published numerous volumes of epic poems which were written throughout the ages and in a myriad of languages.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2008Every man in his humour
Ben Jonson
by Robert Miola
This edition breaks with the usual practice by presenting the 1601 quarto version of Ben Jonson's play, set in Florence, instead of the revised 1616 version, set in London. Robert S. Miola presents a meticulously edited and modernised version of the play as originally acted by the Lord Chamberlain's Men (with Shakespeare in the cast) in 1598. Miola explores the relevance of the Italian setting, particularly the potent, variegated, and fascinating body of myth and legend that constituted Italy for English audiences in 1598. The editor also illuminates the dramatic context of the play, while paying detailed attention to the social, political, and religious contexts. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2014Chinua Achebe
by Jago Morrison, John Thieme
Chinua Achebe has long been regarded as Africa's foremost writer. In this major new study, Jago Morrison offers a comprehensive reassessment of his work as an author, broadcaster, editor and political thinker. With new, historically contextualised readings of all of his major works, this is the first study to view Achebe's oeuvre in its entirety, from Things Fall Apart and the early novels, through the revolutionary Ahiara Declaration - previously attributed to Emeka Ojukwu - to the revealing final works The Education of a British Educated Child and There Was a Country. Contesting previous interpretations which align Achebe too easily with this or that nationalist programme, the book reveals Achebe as a much more troubled figure than critics have habitually assumed. Authoritative and wide-ranging, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students of Achebe's work in the twenty-first century. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2015The reign of Richard II
From minority to tyranny 1377–97
by Alison McHardy
The long-awaited prequel to Chronicles of the revolution covers the first twenty years (1377-97) of Richard II's reign. This richly-documented period offers exceptional opportunities and challenges to students, and the editor has selected material from a wide range of sources: well-known English chronicles, foreign chronicles and legal, administrative and financial records. These are arranged chronologically to form a coherent narrative of the reign. Clear and lively commentary and notes enable readers to make the fullest use of each document. The introduction describes the complex domestic and international situation which confronted the young king and offers guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of the reign's leading chronicles. The dramatic and diverse politics of the reign of Richard II make this the ideal special subject and an accessible, affordable, student-friendly documentary history of Richard II's reign has long been needed. This book is designed to fill that gap.
