Arianna HuffingtonWill inspire people from across the political spectrum. Jonathan HaidtLonglisted for the Porchlight Business Book of the Year Award, an essential shortlist of leadership ideas for everyone who wants to do good in this world, from Jacqueline Novogratz, author of the New York Times bestseller The Blue Sweater and founder and CEO of Acumen.In 2001, when Jacqueline Novogratz founded Acumen, a global community of socially and environmentally responsible partners dedicated to changing the way the world tackles poverty, few had heard of impact investing Acumen’s practice of “doing well by doing good.” Nineteen years later, there’s been a seismic shift in how corporate boards and other stakeholders evaluate businesses: impact investment is not only morally defensible but now also economically advantageous, even necessary. Still, it isn’t easy to reach a success that includes profits as well as mutually favorable relationships with workers and the communities in which they live. So how can today’s leaders, who often kick off their enterprises with high hopes and short timetables, navigate the challenges of poverty and war, of egos and impatience, which have stymied generations of investors who came before?Drawing on inspiring stories from change-makers around the world and on memories of her own most difficult experiences, Jacqueline divulges the most common leadership mistakes and the mind-sets needed to rise above them. The culmination of thirty years of work developing sustainable solutions for the problems of the poor, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution offers the perspectives necessary for all those whether ascending the corporate ladder or bringing solar light to rural villages who seek to leave this world better off than they found it. Review Wise and optimistic, [Novogratz] provides a benevolent tonic for those looking to rise above the troubled waters of the age and embrace the beautiful struggle of rebuilding our broken world. An inspiringly hopeful book. Kirkus Reviews“An urgent manifesto about what it means to stand with the poor, to see through clear eyes, and most of all, to do work worth doing.

-Titulo Original : Tombstone (frontier Lawmen)-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: About the Author TOM CLAVIN is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and has worked as a newspaper editor, magazine writer, TV and radio commentator, and a reporter for The New York Times. He has received awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, and National Newspaper Association. His books include the bestselling Frontier Lawmen trilogy Wild Bill, Dodge City, and Tombstone and Blood and Treasure with Bob Drury. He lives in Sag Harbor, NY. THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERTombstone is written in a distinctly American voice. T.J. Stiles, The New York Times“With a former newsman’s nose for the truth, Clavin has sifted the facts, myths, and lies to produce what might be as accurate an account as we will ever get of the old West’s most famous feud.” Associated PressThe true story of the Earp brothers, Doc Holliday, and the famous Battle at the OK Corral, by the New York Times bestselling author of Dodge City and Wild Bill.On the afternoon of October 26, 1881, eight men clashed in what would be known as the most famous shootout in American frontier history. Thirty bullets were exchanged in thirty seconds, killing three men and wounding three others.The fight sprang forth from a tense, hot summer. Cattle rustlers had been terrorizing the back country of Mexico and selling the livestock they stole to corrupt ranchers. The Mexican government built forts along the border to try to thwart American outlaws, while Arizona citizens became increasingly agitated. Rustlers, who became known as the cow-boys, began to kill each other as well as innocent citizens. That October, tensions boiled over with Ike and Billy Clanton, Tom and Frank McLaury, and Billy Claiborne confronting the Tombstone marshal, Virgil Earp, and the suddenly deputized Wyatt and Morgan Earp and shotgun-toting Doc Holliday.Bestselling author Tom Clavin peers behind decades of legend surrounding the story of Tombstone to reveal the true story of the drama and violence that made it famous. Tombstone also digs deep into the vendetta ride that followed the tragic gunfight, when Wyatt and Warren Earp and Holliday went vigilante to track down the likes of Johnny Ringo, Curly Bill Brocius, and other cowboys who had cowardly gunned down his brothers. That vendetta ride would make the myth of Wyatt Earp complete and punctuate the struggle for power in the American frontiers last boom town. Review “Clavin’s out to dispel the myths…[interjecting] some wry commentary into his breezy narrative style…It’s all through fascinating lore. And would you believe that the gunfight at the OK Corral didn’t even take place at the OK Corral?” NPR“With a former newsman’s nose for the truth, Clavin has sifted the facts, myths, and lies to produce what might be as accurate an account as we will ever get of the old West’s most famous feud.” Associated Press “Clavin shows that there is more to the story of Tombstone than the Earps and the well-known gunfight. Readers who enjoyed the first two books in this popular history trilogy will look forward to this excellent and fitting conclusion.’” Library Journal Rootin-tootin history....Updating the old notion that the Earp myth is the American Iliad, the author is at his best when he delineates those fraught spasms of violence. Buffs of the Old West will enjoy Clavins careful research and vivid writing. Kirkus ReviewsClavin briskly sketches dozens of historical figures and gamely interrogates primary and secondary sources to separate fact from fiction. This animated account entertains. Publishers WeeklyIn “Tombstone: The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Vendetta Ride from Hell,” [Clavin] does a yeoman’s job of combining original research with a knack for page-turning narrative that gives readers an exciting tour of the celebrated gunfight at the O.K.

-Titulo Original : Below Stairs (below Stairs, 1)-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: About the Author MARGARET POWELL was born in 1907 in Hove, and left school at the age of 13 to start working. At 14, she got a job in a hotel laundry room, and a year later went into service as a kitchen maid, eventually progressing to the position of cook, before marrying a milkman called Albert. In 1968 the first volume of her memoirs, Below Stairs, was published to instant success and turned her into a celebrity. She died in 1984. Brilliantly evoking the long-vanished world of masters and servants portrayed in Downton Abbey and Upstairs, Downstairs, Margaret Powells classic memoir of her time in service, Below Stairs, is the remarkable true story of an indomitable woman who, though she served in the great houses of England, never stopped aiming high. Powell first arrived at the servants entrance of one of those great houses in the 1920s. As a kitchen maid - the lowest of the low - she entered an entirely new world; one of stoves to be blacked, vegetables to be scrubbed, mistresses to be appeased, and bootlaces to be ironed. Work started at 5:30am and went on until after dark. It was a far cry from her childhood on the beaches of Hove, where money and food were scarce, but warmth and laughter never were. Yet from the gentleman with a penchant for stroking the housemaids curlers, to raucous tea-dances with errand boys, to the heartbreaking story of Agnes the pregnant under-parlormaid, fired for being seduced by her mistresss nephew, Margarets tales of her time in service are told with wit, warmth, and a sharp eye for the prejudices of her situation.Margaret Powells true story of a life spent in service is a fascinating downstairs portrait of the glittering, long-gone worlds behind the closed doors of Downton Abbey and 165 Eaton Place. Review “Anyone who enjoyed Downton Abbey or Upstairs Downstairs will relish this feisty memoir.” Dame Eileen Atkins, co-creator of Upstairs, Downstairs“Margaret Powell was the first person outside my family to introduce me to that world, so near and yet seemingly so far away, where servants and their employers would live their vividly different lives under one roof. Her memories, funny and poignant, angry and charming, haunted me until, many years later, I made my own attempts to capture those people for the camera. I certainly owe her a great debt.” Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbe...

-Titulo Original : Vagina Problems-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: About the Author LARA PARKER is a writer and Deputy Editorial Director at Buzzfeed who lives in Los Angeles but grew up in a small town of just 900 people in Indiana. She’s been a guest on the MTV show Catfish, the TLC show Catching the Catfisher, has been interviewed or appeared in Cosmopolitan, Cosmopolitan Australia, and Glamour, as well as many others. She began writing publicly on her blog, Outside the Comfort Zone, in college around the time of her diagnosis with endometriosis and hasn’t stopped writing about her vagina since. When she isn’t writing about or talking about her Vagina Problems, she’s watching Bravo and trying to teach her dog how to hug her on command. “In Vagina Problems…Lara Parker unpacks the personal and economic costs of endometriosis.” Vanity Fair“A refreshingly honest read about living with chronic pain.” Hello GigglesWith unflinching honesty, Lara Parker, the Deputy Director for BuzzFeed, shares her day-to-day challenges of living, working, and loving with chronic pain caused by endometriosis in this raw, darkly humorous, and hopeful memoir.I wasn’t ready to be completely honest about my vagina yet, and the world wasn’t ready for that either. But I was getting there. I wanted the world to know that all of this pain I had been feeling…that it was related to my vagina. Thus, Vagina Problems was born. It was a cutesy name. It was my way of taking this pain and saying, “Whatever. I’m here. I have it. It sucks. Let’s talk about it.”In April 2014, Deputy Editorial Director at BuzzFeed Lara Parker opened up to the world in an article on the website: she suffers from endometriosis. And beyond that? She let the whole world know that she wasn’t having any sex, as sex was excruciatingly painful. Less than a year before, she received not only the diagnosis of endometriosis, but also a diagnosis of pelvic floor dysfunction, vulvodynia, vaginismus, and vulvar vestibulitis. Combined, these debilitating conditions have wreaked havoc on her life, causing excruciating pain throughout her body since she was fourteen years old. These are her Vagina Problems. It was five years before Lara learned what was happening to her body. Five years of doctors insisting she just had “bad period cramps,” or implying her pain was psychological. Shamed and stigmatized, Lara fought back against a medical community biased against women and discovered that the ignorance of many doctors about women’s anatomy was damaging more than just her own life. One in ten women have endometriosis and it takes an average of seven years before they receive an accurate diagnosis or any relief from this incurable illness’ chronic pain. With candid revelations about her vaginal physical therapy, dating as a straight woman without penetrative sex, coping with painful seizures while at the office, diet and wardrobe malfunctions when your vagina hurts all the time, and the depression and anxiety of feeling unloved, Lara tackles it all in Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics with courage, wit, love, and a determination to live her best life. Review “After a lifetime of being told not to talk openly about sex and to just accept discomfort and dissatisfaction, Parker [has] enough. Now you [can’t] get her to shut up about her vagina.” Playboy“We’re not talking about painful sex, or painful orgasms, or debilitating periods so Lara Parker is talking about it in her new book Vagina Problems.” Rewire.news“A funny, incisive look at all the difficulties that plague the reproductive organs.” Medium, New Book Releases“Parker is unafraid…. Through candid stories…Parker is determined to help the one in ten women [who have endometriosis] like her to live their best lives.” Brit Co“This book is not only a refreshingly real, vulnerable look into life with debilitating pain, but also a crucial read for anyone who loves someone living with chronic illness.” Bust Magazine“[A] raw debut memoi...

-Titulo Original : Watergate Girl-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: About the Author Jill Wine-Banks is an MSNBC legal analyst, appearing regularly on the network’s primetime and daytime shows. She began her career as an organized crime prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice, which led to her selection as one of three assistant Watergate special prosecutors in the obstruction of justice trial against President Nixons top aides. She has also served as general counsel of the U.S. Army, solicitor general and deputy attorney general of the state of Illinois, and executive vice president and chief operating officer of the American Bar Association. In each case, she was the first woman to hold the position. A graduate of the University of Illinois and the Columbia Law School, she lives in Chicago. Obstruction of justice, the specter of impeachment, sexism at work, shocking revelations: Jill Wine-Banks takes us inside her trial by fire as a Watergate prosecutor. It was a time, much like today, when Americans feared for the future of their democracy, and women stood up for equal treatment. At the crossroads of the Watergate scandal and the women’s movement was a young lawyer named Jill Wine Volner (as she was then known), barely thirty years old and the only woman on the team that prosecuted the highest-ranking White House officials. Called “the mini-skirted lawyer” by the press, she fought to receive the respect accorded her male counterparts and prevailed.In The Watergate Girl, Jill Wine-Banks opens a window on this troubled time in American history. It is impossible to read about the crimes of Richard Nixon and the people around him without drawing parallels to today’s headlines. The book is also the story of a young woman who sought to make her professional mark while trapped in a failing marriage, buffeted by sexist preconceptions, and harboring secrets of her own. Her house was burgled, her phones were tapped, and even her office garbage was rifled through.At once a cautionary tale and an inspiration for those who believe in the power of justice and the rule of law, The Watergate Girl is a revelation about our country, our politics, and who we are as a society. Review Riding the crest of the #MeToo movement, Wine-Banks describes the mostly workaday sexism she encountered on the job. . . . The book’s fast-moving narrative and crisp prose should hook readers. Boston GlobeWine-Banks not only brings to life the urgency of the Watergate years in vivid detail and color (including the clothes) . . . she reminds the reader of the obstacles that women of her era had to overcome to make progress for themselves and for the next generation. Liesl Schillinger, Air MailRead it and weep: Once upon a time a brave young assistant special prosecutor and her band of brothers brought down a corrupt president, saved democracy, and upheld the rule of law. Jill Wine-Banks has written a wondrous memoir that makes you yearn for the days when the good guys and a “Watergate girl” finally won. Chris Whipple, NYT bestselling author of The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency“An intimate, powerful personal story. Jill Wine-Banks is not afraid to share and tell all her experiences and opinions. And I promise you she does.” Bob Woodward“A lively and engrossing account and a timely reminder of how an able and dedicated lawyer and her colleagues held a president and his minions accountable and why it was vital to do so. It is also an important story of how a young woman confronted a ‘man’s world,’ and dealt with her own vulnerabilities and personal crises at the same time.” Elizabeth Holtzman, former member of the House Judiciary Committee“Such a wonderful book! Jill Wine-Banks makes the Watergate scandal seem as current as today. She has written a fascinating, intimate account of her role as a young assistant special prosecutor and also her #MeToo experiences in a series of groundbreaking jobs.” Susan Page, Washington bureau chief, U...

After attending Stanford and Oxford, she opted for a minimum-wage job as a radio DJ in a tiny Massachusetts market while finishing her Ph.D. She planned to pursue a career as an activist, but 9/11 changed all that, so she returned to local radio where she could help listeners by explaining stuff.

With a scientists thirst for knowledge and an engineers vision of what can be, Bill Nye sees todays environmental issues not as insurmountable, depressing problems but as chances for our society to rise to the challenge and create a cleaner, healthier, smarter world. We need not accept that transportation consumes half our energy, and that two-thirds of the energy you put into your car is immediately thrown away out the tailpipe.

-Titulo Original : Troubled Water-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: New York Times bestselling author Seth M. Siegel shows how our drinking water got contaminated, what it may be doing to us, and what we must do to make it safe. If you thought America’s drinking water problems started and ended in Flint, Michigan, think again. From big cities and suburbs to the rural heartland, chemicals linked to cancer, heart disease, obesity, birth defects, and lowered IQ routinely spill from our taps. Many are to blame: the EPA, Congress, a bipartisan coalition of powerful governors and mayors, chemical companies, and drinking water utilities even NASA and the Pentagon. Meanwhile, the bottled water industry has been fanning our fears about tap water, but bottled water is often no safer.The tragedy is that existing technologies could launch a new age of clean, healthy, and safe tap water for only a few dollars a week per person. Scrupulously researched, Troubled Water is full of shocking stories about contaminated water found throughout the country and about the everyday heroes who have successfully forced changes in the quality and safety of our drinking water. And it concludes with what America must do to reverse decades of neglect and play-it-safe inaction by government at all levels in order to keep our most precious resource safe. Review “A generation ago, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring launched the US environmental movement. Today, Seth M. Siegel’s remarkable book has the potential to spark a similar citizen’s awakening and with it a demand for better quality drinking water. Every elected official should be compelled to read Troubled Water - and every American should want to do so.” U.S. Senator Mark KirkSeth M. Siegels new book Troubled Water: Whats Wrong with What We Drink tells the haunting story of how Americas drinking water came to be at risk. He’s a masterful storyteller with the powerful call to action to ensure safe drinking water for all. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand“As one of the principal members of Congress long campaigning for safer drinking water, Im amazed by how Seth Siegel has woven decades of activity into his sweeping narrative of what needs to be done now. Troubled Water is far more than a remarkably well-told story. It is also an inspiring work filled with interesting insights and creative ideas. A delight to read.” Congressman Henry Waxman“Seth Siegel has done it again! Just as he caused us all to think differently about water scarcity with his great book, Let There Be Water, his new (and also great) book will alter the way we think about water quality. Troubled Water is one of those rare works that will change your view of the world - and how things do and don’t get done.” Mayor Bill de Blasio“There is a national drinking water crisis - a form of silent, invisible violence foisted upon an often unsuspecting public from varieties of drinking water contaminants and polluters. Seth Siegels detailed and gripping new book exposes what has been going wrong and what can be accomplished to reverse course for safer drinking water. Troubled Water is a fresh, piercing narrative about a widening problem.” Ralph Nader“Troubled Water is a finely written, highly readable, and provocative book that recognizes the marvel that is modern drinking water while ringing needed alarm bells that need to be rung. Despite considerable progress, there are still too many people without safe drinking water and there are too many unregulated contaminants, whether in bottles or from the tap. No matter where we live in the U.S., we take water for granted at our peril. There are millions of people buying bottled water when tap water is safe, and too many people having to buy bottled water because their tap water isn’t safe. Siegel illuminates the under-appreciated problems with the status quo, and empowers and motivates us all to engage.” Felicia Marcus, former Chair, California State Water Resources Control Board, and former EPA Regional Administrator“From the can...

-Titulo Original : The Moral Arc-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: Bestselling author Michael Shermers exploration of science and morality that demonstrates how the scientific way of thinking has made people, and society as a whole, more moralFrom Galileo and Newton to Thomas Hobbes and Martin Luther King, Jr., thinkers throughout history have consciously employed scientific techniques to better understand the non-physical world. The Age of Reason and the Enlightenment led theorists to apply scientific reasoning to the non-scientific disciplines of politics, economics, and moral philosophy. Instead of relying on the woodcuts of dissected bodies in old medical texts, physicians opened bodies themselves to see what was there; instead of divining truth through the authority of an ancient holy book or philosophical treatise, people began to explore the book of nature for themselves through travel and exploration; instead of the supernatural belief in the divine right of kings, people employed a natural belief in the right of democracy.In The Moral Arc, Shermer will explain how abstract reasoning, rationality, empiricism, skepticism--scientific ways of thinking--have profoundly changed the way we perceive morality and, indeed, move us ever closer to a more just world. Review “This is one of the best recent books that I have read, and its the one that I expect to re-read most often. Its an honest, clear account of morality and justice that makes those theoretical concepts come alive as ubiquitous real-life choices. In the process of reading it, youll learn about wrenching moral dilemmas such as paying ransoms to Somali pirates, maintaining nuclear weapons as deterrents, good people becoming Nazis, and the immorality of the Bible and of the Ten Commandments.” Jared Diamond, Pulitzer-prize-winning author of the best-selling books Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse, and The World until Yesterday“I suspect that people will be arguing with Michael Shermers premise before they read a page: ‘The moral arc is bending toward truth, justice, and freedom? Is he hallucinating? Just look at... In these cynical times, where right and left foresee disaster and despair (albeit for different reasons), Shermers monumental opus, spanning centuries, nations, and cultures, is bound to provoke debate and open minds. Exactly what an important work of skepticism, science, and reason should do.” Carol Tavris, Ph.D., social psychologist and author of The Mismeasure of Woman and coauthor of Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)“A thrilling and fascinating book, which could change your view of human history and human destiny. If you wanted a sequel to The Better Angels of Our Nature, one which explored all of our spheres of moral progress, not just the decline of violence, this is it.” Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and author of The Blank Slate and The Sense of Style: The Thinking Persons Guide to Writing in the 21st Century“It is difficult to imagine how the arc of morality can bend toward justice without rational examination of the consequences of ones actions. As Michael Shermer passionately describes in this ambitious, thoroughly researched, yet remarkably accessible work of scholarship, the fabric of modern morality derives not from religion, but in large part from secular notions of rational empiricism. This message needs to be shared more broadly for the good our society, and hopefully this book will do just that.” Lawrence M. Krauss, Foundation Professor and Director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University, and bestselling author of A Universe from Nothing and The Physics of Star Trek“Michael Shermer makes the astonishing claim that science, precisely because of its rational, dispassionate, and enlightened attitude towards revealing the truth, has helped to lay the moral groundwork for modern society, pointing the way to a more just and moral world. Instead of being a passive observer to the dance of history and the evol...

-Titulo Original : When Doctors Dont Listen-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: In this examination of the doctor-patient relationship, Drs. Wen and Kosowsky argue that diagnosis, once the cornerstone of medicine, is fast becoming a lost art, with grave consequences. Using real-life stories of cookbook-diagnoses-gone-bad, the doctors illustrate how active patient participation can prevent these mistakes. Wen and Kosowsky offer tangible follow-up questions patients can easily incorporate into every doctors visit to avoid counterproductive and even potentially harmful tests. In the pursuit for the best medical care available, readers cant afford to miss out on these inside-tips and more:- How to deal with a doctor who seems too busy to listen to you- 8-Pillars to a Better Diagnosis- How to tell the whole story of your illness- Learning test risks and evaluating whether theyre worth it- How to get a working diagnosis at the end of every doctors visitBy empowering patients to engage with their doctors as partners in their diagnosis, When Doctors Dont Listen is an essential guide that enables patients to speak up and take back control of their health care. Review “The books insights and cautionary tales should appeal to medical and lay readers alike: they combine into a superb analysis of how doctors listen and think, and offer detailed suggestions for how they could do both better.” The New York Times“Leana Wen and Joshua Kosowsky, emergency physicians at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston and Harvard University, urge patients to assert their voice. They warn that ‘a health care crisis is not the time to keep your mouth shut, but rather a critical time to speak up and be your own advocate.” The Wall Street Journal“Wen and Kosowsky demystify medical language and practice and offer straightforward tips.” Concord Monitor“A comprehensive guide to improving doctor-patient relations through empowering patients to take an active role in their care. . .As health care becomes more complex and political, this book provides clear direction toward better care.” Kirkus Reviews“Doctors Wen and Kosowsky (Pocket Emergency Medicine, co-editor) nudge the medical consumer empowerment movement forward with this provocative dialogic guide to help patients get the right diagnosis and treatment while avoiding the pitfalls of formulaic cookbook medicine. It all starts with an open conversation, the pair assert--much like the banter between car owner and mechanic on NPRs popular Car Talk program--and ends with an active M.D.-patient partnership. You are the key to your own health, and you have to help your doctor help you, the duo insist. Recounted are hair-raising stories of patients who bore the brunt of doctors leaping to worst-case reasoning instead of listening to what their patients were telling them, like Jerry the car mechanic with a pulled muscle who was treated for a heart attack. The team warns consumers that the transformation from passive recipient of medical care to active partner wont be easy, but provide plenty of how-tos in their 8 Pillars toward building a patient-doctor partnership. Theirs is an urgent call to action for patients, and a stark heads-up for doctors and the troubled healthcare industry they serve.” Publishers Weekly“Wen and Kosowskys work is significant... Who should read When Doctors Dont Listen? Wishfully, doctors...certainly psychologists, and social workers...mental health providers... [and] anyone who is now or anticipates following family members of loved ones through illness and anyone who is concerned about his or her own medical care.” PsycCRITIQUES“This is a well-written book on an innovative approach to healthcare reform: it challenges patients to take charge of their health and every medical encounter with their doctor. An important topic and an important book--I encourage my patients to read it.” Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer“I have always said...

-Titulo Original : Between Therapist And Client-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: Perhaps the most important aspect of the therapeutic process is the relationship between therapist and client. For years, two major schools of thought have strongly disagreed about what the nature of that relationship should be. The humanists emphasized warmth and empathy. The psychoanalysts kept a neutral, cool distance. Recently, however, the beginnings of a reconciliation between these traditions have opened new possibilities for the way therapists relate to clients. In Between Therapist and Client, Michael Kahn shows why this new consensus is promising. Beginning with Freuds discovery of transference, Kahn traces the history of the clinical relationship from Carl Rogers introduction of humanistic concerns through Merton Gills theory and technique of transference analysis, to the pioneering work of Heinz Kohut, who has most successfully brought together psychoanalytic and humanistic thought. Using vivid examples from his own practice, Kahn shows how a coherent synthesis of these various approaches leads to the most successful clinical relationships. Completely updated with greater discussion of ethics and countertransference, the new edition of Between Therapist and Client is essential reading for those in psychotherapy both therapist and client. About the Author Michael Kahn received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Harvard University. A professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Cruz, he presently maintains a private practice and also trains psychotherapists as the director of a counseling center at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.

-Titulo Original : Killer-Fabricante : Griffin-Descripcion Original: The hunter has become the huntedVictor is a freelancer, a professional, a killer---the best there is. Hes ice cold, methodical, and deadly. He lives alone. He operates alone. No one knows his background, or even his name. For him, business is a straight transaction. Hes given a job; he takes out the target; he gets paid. Hes in Paris to perform a standard kill and collect for an anonymous client. The contract is simple, routine, and Victor completes it with trademark efficiency, only to find himself in the middle of an ambush and fighting for his life. Faced with powerful and determined enemies, and caught in the crossfire of an international conspiracy unfolding across four continents, Victor is forced to go on the run across a winter-ravaged Europe. Pursued by the authorities, hired assassins, and intelligence agencies from both sides of the Atlantic, he discovers that no place is safe for him anymore and there is no one he can trust. But Victor is no easy target, and hes every bit as ruthless as those hunting him. He will find out who wants him dead and why, one corpse at a time. Debut author Tom Hinshelwood has written a classic cat-and-mouse thriller for the twenty-first century that takes off from the very first page and never lets up. Filled with adrenaline-charged action worthy of the big screen, The Killer will have readers looking down the barrel of a gun at every turn. The Killer was previously published under the title, The Hunter. Review “A series of Eurozone cities provide a picturesque backdrop for the ensuing gunfights, stabbings, and explosions--not to mention sunken missiles, corrupt C.I.A. agents, and hulking Russian mobsters. The result is both a lively read and an impressively intricate thriller.” The New Yorker “A superlative fiction debut... Nonstop action that veers and twists from one ferocious gun battle, double cross, and betrayal to the next... Thriller fans will be eager to see more from this bright new talent.” Publishers Weekly “Crackles like the early work of Robert Ludlum... Hinshelwood brings an appealing and enigmatic main character into the mix, creating a refreshing and relentless story line.” Booklist “No one asked me to read Tom Hinshelwoods The Killer. I happened to pick it up because it looked interesting -- and what a terrific discovery: The Killer is a nonstop, breathless, trimmed-to-the-bone thriller with action sequences that are absolutely state-of-the art. Its the best chase novel Ive read in years.” Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of Paranoia and Vanished “Jack Reacher meets Thomas Crown in an electrifying thriller.” bestselling author Simon Kernick “This bang-up thriller is just begging for the big screen.” Library Journal “Filled with twists mostly caused by double and triple crosses, thriller fans will relish the action-packed The Killer which never stops for a breathing break. Victor holds the storyline together as he goes from smooth remorseless paid killer to target of other professional killers including legalized government assassins. Sub-genre fans will enjoy his escapades to stay alive.” The Mystery Gazette blog “Hinshelwood is extremely skillful at serving small portions of information as the story unfolds. A first-rate mystery is created as a result. Add to that, the pleasure of having a rather likable main character - even if he is a contract killer. The complexity of the storylines and the plot twists are entertaining, but require the reader to pay close attention.” New Mystery Reader “Very stylish, tough, exhilaratingly amoral... The title character, a killer for hire, actually is our hero and you will find yourself rooting for him--he does have a code (of sorts), and his adversaries are uniformly worse than he is. Although the milieu is completely different, he reminds me of the great Richard Starks character Parker (not a hired killer, but certainly a killer).” Ellenville Shawangunk Jou...
