New Releases by David KATZ

There is nothing funny about anxiety and panic attacks. Or is there? Most books about mental health are bland and technical, almost as if the authors are afraid to find humor in a serious subject. This is not one of those books. David Katz has managed to bring a fresh perspective to some of the biggest mental health challenges faced by people today. What makes this book unique, is how the author developed anxiety and experienced panic attacks, despite an impressive academic background in the field of Psychology that should have armed him with the coping mechanisms necessary to deal with these issues. His journey will resonate with anyone who has experienced anything from mild stress to terrifying panic attacks. This is a refreshingly honest look at how a self-proclaimed Warrior turned into a Worrier, and the impact that this has had on his life, and the lives of others.

Synopsis coming soon.......

This guide is not meant to replace Orton-Gillingham training; instead, it is designed to enhance and supplement it.The Orton-Gillingham methodology is appropriate for teaching students in classrooms, small groups or 1:1 settings - in both the primary and secondary grades. Originally designed for teaching children with dyslexia, for almost 90 years the principles of Orton-Gillingham have improved students'' reading, spelling, and writing abilities. Many of today''s most successful reading programs are based on Orton-Gillingham''s multi-sensory approach that incorporates all three modalities of the language triangle - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/tactile. Employing these modalities throughout instruction allows students to learn in a multisensory way, which is the most effective way to learn and retain information.

For the first time, David Katz''s classic monograph The World of Touch has been translated into English. Regarded as one of the premiere experimental psychologists, Katz vigorously opposed the atomism and "tachistoscopic" mentality typical of the sensory psychology of his day. In The World of Touch, Katz sought to dispel the invidious distinction between the supposedly higher (e.g., vision, audition) and lower (e.g., touch) senses. To help touch regain its original prominence in the field, Katz demonstrated, through very simple, yet creative experiments, how fascinating the abilities of touch are, and how valuable the tactual stimulus can be in specifying objects, surfaces, substances, and events. In addition, Katz emphasized the importance of higher-order invariants in the perception of objects, and the holistic quality of perception in time as well as space.

MY FIRST SUPERMAN, MY FIRST BATMAN, and MY FIRST WONDER WOMAN each feature the classic DC Comics art and 6 interactive features--from Superman''s silky cape to Batman''s handy Batline to Wonder Woman''s invisible plane.

Le braquage de banque, tout le monde connaît : des individus pénètrent dans une agence, menacent employés et clients, puis repartent avec le magot. Robert Dray, lui, avec son culot désarmant et son bagout, a voulu innover. En ces temps de post-11 septembre, pourquoi en effet ne pas profiter de la paranoïa ambiante et de l’envie de chacun de ressentir les frissons que vivent les agents secrets ? Mieux : et si l’on pouvait dépouiller quelques comptes en passant un coup de fil et en transférant les fonds vers des banques offshore ? Ce à quoi l’aideront Goran et David, pris malgré lui dans une escroquerie qui le conduira droit à la chute et à Fleury-Mérogis. En effet, alors que ce gestionnaire de comptes offshore vit une existence dorée sous le ciel du Guanama, il se verra irrésistiblement entraîné dans une escroquerie pour le moins gonflée qui roulera les banquiers dans la farine. Découvrez ici les dessous d’une affaire dont les maîtres mots furent arnaque, crédulité et coups bas entre complices. En de rares occasions, la réalité dépasse la fiction, et les aventures rocambolesques qui se déroulent sous les yeux du lecteur sont alors d’une tout autre trempe que celles qui sortent de l’esprit trop romanesque des scénaristes de fiction. Mais au-delà de la simple description du méfait, l’auteur s’attarde également sur les prémices de l’affaire, sur son déroulement exact, sur les procédures judiciaires et sur ses années de prison, se révélant un personnage simple et attachant, qui garde en toutes circonstances son sens de l’humour, même quand c’est la seule chose qu’il lui reste.

從搭配詞練出道地英文＋幽默圖像輕鬆記憶 ＝英文從此變成職場優勢！ 背了單字還是常詞窮？ 是不知如何將單字搭配得有意義！ transfer + a call = 轉接電話、return + a call = 回電話 那「緊急電話」又該怎麼搭配呢？ 趕快從搭配詞著手學英文， 英文會愈說愈溜！ ★本書以上班族的一天為架構，你需要的英文通通在這裏！ Part 1 上班 Part 2 寫 Email 聯絡事宜 Part 3 打電話聯絡事宜 Part 4 與客戶用餐 Part 5 影印間準備資料 Part 6 開會 Part 7 簡報 Part 8 下班 為什麼要學搭配詞？ 搭配詞（Collocation）是什麼？為什麼要學搭配詞呢？在回答這兩個問題之前，先暖暖身做個小測驗。相信藉由這個測驗，你會對以上的問題有個概括的答案。 Q：Deadline 為「期限」之意，以下為其相關用法，請寫出其正確的英文。 設定期限：＿＿＿＿＿ 趕上期限：＿＿＿＿＿ 延長期限：＿＿＿＿＿ 錯過期限：＿＿＿＿＿ 將期限提前：＿＿＿＿＿ 如果你能全部答對，恭喜，你的英文底子打得不錯，學習英文的方法也正確；如果你作答時有所遲疑，也無法全部答對，那麼，你就得檢視一下你學英文的方法。測驗答案如下： Ans：設定期限：set a deadline 趕上期限：meet a deadline 延長期限：extend a deadline 錯過期限：miss a deadline 將期限提前：move up a deadline Set a deadline、meet a deadline、extend a deadline、miss a deadline 和 move up a deadline 等都是 deadline 這個字的相關「搭配詞」。至此，你是不是對「搭配詞」比較有概念了呢？其實「搭配詞」就是單字的有意義組合。英文學習者應該都有這樣的經驗，僅管背了一堆單字，但在實際運用時話還是常卡在嘴邊說不出口（相信你在做測驗時也察覺到了）。這是因為學英文時太著眼於單字而忽略了其相關的搭配詞，換言之，搭配詞才是你是否能靈活運用單字的關鍵。 除了上述優點，搭配詞還有易學易用的好處。從測驗的範例中可以看到，和 deadline 搭配的 set、meet、extend、miss 和 move up 等字彙的難度都不高，應該都是已存於你大腦記憶庫中的常用單字。也就是說，要學會這些搭配詞並不是難事，熟便能生巧！運用簡單的字彙倍增表達能力，正是搭配詞的妙用所在。只要你願意學習本書，一定會發現搭配詞用字不難、好學好記的這項特點。 在學會搭配詞之後，接下來只需搭配簡單到不行的句型，即可造出道地的英文句子，輕鬆滿足你口語表達的需求。這樣的學習方式和「單字進階至造句」的傳統模式相比，犯錯機率大幅降低。以 deadline 的搭配詞造句如下： Ex：My boss set a deadline for the project. 我的主管為專案設定了一個期限。 We need to meet the deadline. 我們必須趕上這個期限。 We hope the boss can extend the deadline. 我們希望主管可以延長期限。 My boss moved up the deadline. 我的主管把期限提前了。 We’re afraid we might miss the deadline. 我們恐怕會錯過這個期限。 是不是很簡單呢？現在，你應該覺得「搭配詞」這個概念真的很不錯。是否躍躍欲試呢？那就從本書開始，趕快來體驗這個簡單而效果令人驚豔的學習旅程吧！

First Published in 1990. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

In the preface to the American edition, the author writes: The volume is not restricted to a critical presentation of those aspects of Gestalt psychology which seem significant to me. Rather, in addition, it offers results of an experimental approach to new problems from the Gestalt viewpoint ... primarily ... Gestalt laws governing mental work, the phenomena ... [of] `connective inhibition'' and `mental dazzle'' as they appear in thought processes, and the transposition of action forms.
