New Releases by Walter Anderson

Acest volum a fost elaborat pornind de la suportul teoretic şi practic al unui curs efectiv, susţinut de Anderson cu ani în urmă. De aici şi structura cărţii: 20 de „prelegeri“ care gravitează în jurul noţiunii de încredere şi care, adunate la un loc, capătă aspectul unei analize lucide pornind încă de la rădăcina vieţii, adică din copilărie. Autorul descrie procesul de formare a individualităţii umane, strâns legat de dobândirea încrederii în sine. Discută, cu tact, despre etape existenţiale fundamentale, despre dragoste şi relaţii amoroase, cât şi despre multiple tipare comportamentale adverse (anxietatea, furia, agresivitatea, teama de risc, incapacitatea de a comunica, de a iubi sau de a fi iubit). Toate cele de mai sus, precum şi multe altele, îşi găsesc, firesc, locul în acest ghid esenţial, axat pe conştientizarea modului în care ne dezvoltăm ca indivizi. Walter Anderson (n. 1944) este autor de cărţi motivaţionale şi piese de teatru. În perioada 1961–1966, a făcut parte din corpul de puşcaşi marini al Statelor Unite, ajungând să lupte în Vietnam. Apoi s-a specializat în arte liberale şi ştiinţe sociale, în cadrul Westchester Community College; de asemenea, e licenţiat în psihologie al Mercy College din Westchester, New York, absolvind ambele instituţii universitare ca şef de promoţie. Ulterior, a fost reporter de investigaţii, articolele sale fiind publicate de revista New York şi de Associated Press. Din 1977 până în 2009, a lucrat mai întâi ca editor, apoi ca redactor-şef şi CEO, pentru revista Parade. A activat ca profesor asociat şi lector invitat pentru mai multe colegii, printre care University of the Pacific, Clemson University şi New School for Social Research din New York. A fost preşedinte al consiliului de administraţie de la Mercy College vreme de opt ani. De asemenea, este membru al consiliului de administraţie al U.S. Naval Postgraduate School. Este cofondatorul şi preşedintele unei companii de servicii educaţionale, Novium Learning. Anderson a scris cinci cărţi şi a fost invitat în numeroase emisiuni americane de radio şi TV. A fost numit de Preşe­dintele Bill Clinton membru al U.S. National Commission on Libraries & Information Science, pentru o perioadă de 4 ani. De asemenea, face parte din consiliul director al National Center for Family Literacy. A fost distins cu o serie de premii, pentru contribuţiile aduse la dezvoltarea literaturii şi pentru performanţa de a fi învins de-a lungul vieţii mari adversităţi.

Published to strong reviews and major media attention, this heartfelt and inspirational rags-to-riches memoir by the highly regarded CEO of Parade Publications tells the emotional story of how he came to terms with an identity and a family that he never knew he had until he reached middle age. Meant To Be begins when Anderson, a 21-year-old Marine returns from service to say goodbye to his dying father and tries to find the answer to a question that has inexplicably haunted him from his earliest years: Was the alcoholic, abusive man who has so tormented him in his childhood his real father? Shockingly, the answer turns out to be "No." Unbeknown to him, at least until that point, his mother, a German Protestant, fell in love during World War II with a Russian Jew and bore his child. Anderson learns this information as a young man but he and his mother keep this secret for another 35 years, until the day Anderson—now an unusually successful publishing executive—meets an unknown brother who, it turns out, has lived a nearly parallel life. Meant To Be is a love story, a journey of self-discovery and spirituality, and a provocative challenge to common notions about the role of heredity in our lives.

This 7" x 10" book is printed on excellent quality papers; design, paper and printing are closely integrated; the work is printed in two colours, sepia and black; the Anderson drawings of pelicans are printed in sepia within thin rule black frames. In that this work is both art and natural history it might reach a wide audience, both those interested in Anderson as artist and those interested in the natural history of pelicans and life on the Chandeleur Islands.

This illustrated volume celebrates the centennial of one of the South''s greatest artists.
