Als Kind kennt Anina noch keine Grenzen, doch bald schon merkt das ungestüme einfallsreiche Mädchen, dass die Welt im kleinbürgerlichen Elternhaus eng ist. Sie zieht sich in ihre Welten zurück und entdeckt früh ihre künstlerische Begabung, die sie bis an die Akademie nach Paris führen wird. Auch hier erlebt Anina zahlreiche Enttäuschungen, die schließlich zum Abbruch des Kunststudiums führen. Insbesondere verwirrt sie ein Professor mit dem Satz, dass die Kunst etwas über sie wisse, das ihr noch verborgen sei. Diese geheimnisvolle Aussage löst bei ihr panische Angst aus. Enttäuscht und traurig kehrt sie in die Schweiz zurück, begräbt ihre Träume und wird Zeichenlehrerin. Bald schon wird sie von ihrem Jugendfreund schwanger und heiratet, nicht zuletzt in der Hoffnung, die »Kunst« lasse sie nun in Ruhe. Doch Ehe und Mutterschaft bringen ihr weder Glück noch Frieden, irgendwann realisiert sie, dass sie sich um ihr Leben betrügt. So bricht sie erneut auf nach Paris.

Es sah nicht gut aus, als Gaston Chevalier an jenem 16. Juni 1929 um fünf Uhr morgens in Paris zur Welt kam. Rundum nur Armut, Dreck und Missgunst. Der Vater war wie immer abwesend, die Mutter musste so rasch wie möglich zurück an ihren Arbeitsplatz als Näherin. Dass Gaston nur störte, störte ihn am wenigsten. Denn eines lernte er rasch: sich anzupassen und, wenn es nicht mehr ging, abzuhauen. Aufgewachsen im Pariser Quartier Montparnasse, tingelte er bald schon mit seinem Vater als Gaukler durch die Provinzen Frankreichs. In der Fremdenlegion suchte er zu vergessen, im Kloster die Reinigung, um schließlich auf der Suche nach seiner Liebe nach Paris zurückzukehren. André David Winter gelingt es, das Leben dieses als Verlierer geborenen Lebenskünstlers eindrücklich nachzuzeichnen. Er erzählt in starken Bildern und einer ebenso kraftvollen wie eindringlichen Sprache.

Concierge medicine represents a relatively novel health care delivery model that is becoming more appealing both to providers and patients because of its potential to improve quality and value in health care. A gap exists in the current literature regarding the benefits and challenges associated with concierge medicine as well as best practices for developing and sustaining a successful, patient-centered concierge practice. This book aims to close the gap by discussing the role of concierge medicine in the context of the evolving U.S. healthcare system and the changes produced by the Affordable Care Act. It will address questions about affordability, access, quality, value, communication, technology, and patient-centered care, and will include real-world best practice examples from a successful concierge medicine practice.

The 60th anniversary of the publication of George Kelly’s The Psychology of Personal Constructs was marked, in 2015, by the 21st International Congress on Personal Construct Psychology. His two volume work set out personal construct theory as a radical new approach to psychology. Although Kelly was a clinical psychologist, personal construct psychology has had an extraordinarily broad range of influence and application, extending beyond the clinical setting to include areas as diverse as education, organizational and management development, social psychology, the arts, law and politics. It presaged constructivist developments in many spheres of knowledge, and its innovative research methods have been used in a vast number of studies focussed on the exploration of personal and interpersonal meaning. The 21st International Congress was held in the UK at the University of Hertfordshire, forty years after the first such congress. This volume presents contributions by many of the Congress’s delegates, whose chapters reflect the diversity of contemporary applications of personal construct psychology, and the continuing relevance and vitality of Kelly’s ideas and methods.

How to prepare your team for the transition to a new way of working Practicing Continuous Delivery brings with it fundamental changes to the way work is approached, and change can famously be difficult at times.

The challenges you may face A single team adopting Continuous Delivery may find it relatively simple, but an entire organisation will face significantly more challenges. This book will teach you how to overcome those challenges, and how you can keep evolving your Continuous Delivery practices to negate any new problems that may arise.

This book, based upon a series of psychological research studies, examines Sierra Leone as a case study of a constructivist and narrative perspective on psychological responses to warfare, telling the stories of a range of survivors of the civil war. The authors explore previous research on psychological responses to warfare while providing background information on the Sierra Leone civil war and its context. Chapters consider particular groups of survivors, including former child soldiers, as well as amputee footballers, mental health service users and providers, and refugees. Implications of the themes emerging from this research are considered with respect to how new understandings can inform current models of trauma and work with its survivors. Amongst the issues concerned will be post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic growth; resilience; mental health service provision; perpetration of atrocities; and forgiveness. The book also provides a critical consideration of the appropriateness of the use of Western concepts and methods in an African context. Drawing upon psychological theory and rich narrative research, Trauma, Survival and Resilience in War Zones will appeal to researchers and academics in the field of clinical psychology, as well as those studying post-war conflict zones.

In recent years, churches within and without the liturgical tradition have begun to rediscover the rhythms of the Christian year. With its two great cycles of incarnation and redemption, centred on Christmas and Easter, it is the church''s time-honoured way of ensuring that the whole story of salvation is retold in all its fullness every year. With its times of preparation and celebration, watching and waiting, sorrow and rejoicing, it also allows space for every human emotion to find expression. And the Calendar of Saints allows us to pause throughout the year and consider the many role models of faith we have - from biblical characters to modern day martyrs such as Janani Luwum. Here is an inspirational tour through the Christian year from a much loved writer. Whether it is a familiar to readers or a completely new concept, this devotional companion will provide many ideas for enriching worship and discipleship throughout the year.

The California Sponges project Addresses two basic needs. Need to organize and codify the minimal and cattered accounts of California Sponges so that more detailed and meaningful work on their systematics could begin. Need to create a key useable by experts as well as by ecologists, biologists, products chemists or students to identify California Sponges. Meeting these needs has required the profuseuse of illustrations so that misinterpretation would be minimal.
