El origen de la alegría
by Pablo RamosGabriel Reyes, protagonista de la trilogía conformada por El origen de la tristeza, La ley de la ferocidad y En cinco minutos levántate María, muy afectado por la inesperada y temprana muerte de su hermana menor, inicia un viaje a Rosario colmado de paradas intermedias en las que se encuentra con amigos, amantes y distintas situaciones con las que intenta superar su dolor y desamparo. «Yo voy a inventar la noche, hermanita... voy a llenar el Remanso de luces y música orillera, a puro sapucay, pura serpentina y a puro carnaval carioca.» Gabriel Reyes, el recordado protagonista de El origen de la tristeza, vuelve con una historia de viaje y de duelo: su hermana menor muere de manera inesperada y Gabriel, roto, loco, desesperado, emprende una aventura que lo lleva de Buenos Aires a Rosario. Lo acompaña su entrañable amigo Alfredo, que lo conoce perfectamente y sabe anticiparse a los caprichos y deseos del narrador. Durante ese viaje alucinado, Gabriel se encuentra con amigos, prostitutas, policías, una perra, un cura, un caballo, pero también con fantasmas del pasado: su primera novia, los amigos de la adolescencia, la madre de su hijo mayor. Mientras trata de entender el porqué de esa inexplicable, lacerante ausencia, recurre a las drogas y al sexo, a la religión y a la amistad, en una novela inolvidable que nos trae de vuelta a uno de los personajes literarios más convocantes y leídos de los últimos años. La crítica ha dicho... «Una narración directa, potente, gestionada con una habilidad literaria y emocional soberbia.»Carlos Zanón, Babelia - El País, sobre Hasta que puedas quererte solo «El centro de gravedad de los cuentos no pasa por la situación sino por los personajes que una y otra vez vemos repetir un mismo dibujo, ese rodeo infernal, donde por desgracia para ellos y suerte para nosotros, se vuelven notable literatura.»Edgardo Scott sobre Cuando lo peor haya pasado «Desde ese rincón nos habla Ramos, con la fuerza y la intensidad de los peleadores rabiosos, los tipos que dejan la piel en el ring y en el teclado.»Pablo Perantuono, revista Rolling Stone, sobre La ley de la ferocidad

The Original Home School Series
by Charlotte MasonThis is the complete unabridged and authorized edition of the works of turn-of-the-century British educator Charlotte Mason, with a forward by Dr. John Thorley of The Charlotte Mason College. This six-volume set includes over 2400 pages on education, child training and parenting. Recognized as a pioneer in home education and major school reforms, Charlotte Mason's practical methods are as revolutionary today as when they were first written. These books were out of print for over 80 years until Dean & Karen Andreola brought them to America in while returning from a mission s trip in the spring of 1987. A Charlotte Mason educational revival soon followed. Charlotte Mason s writings reflect a lifetime of experience teaching children and training teachers. Her topics are meaty. Her ideas radiate brilliantly in the thoughts of those who take the time to ponder them. With each idea comes a practical how-to "for bringing up children within the educational life." The power of attention, moral character, the discipline of habit, safeguarding a child s curiosity, is a tiny peek at the topics presented. Although Miss Mason began writing in the 1880s, her principles still apply. Today's homeschool parents are seeing first-hand how wonderfully they work. After ten years of intense study and application of Miss Mason s principles with her own children, Karen Andreola wrote A Charlotte Mason Companion: Personal Reflections on the Gentle Art of Learning. Now today's parents can see what a Charlotte Mason education looks like in a contemporary setting while gleaning from its many benefits.
Original Sin: A Sally Sin Adventure
by Beth McmullenAfter falling in love and making a quick exit from her nine-year career in the USAWMD (United States Agency for Weapons of Mass Destruction), ex-spy Sally Sin does her best to become Lucy Hamilton, a stay-at-home mom in San Francisco. No one, not even her adoring husband Will, knows about her secret agent escapades--chasing no-good masterminds through perilous jungles, escaping evil assassins, and playing dangerous games of cat and mouse with her old nemesis, Ian Blackford, a notorious and dashing illegal arms dealer. In her new life as Lucy Hamilton, she squeezes inside forts crafted from couch cushions by her three-year-old son Theo, makes organic applesauce, and frequents the zoo. But sometimes her well-honed spy reflexes refuse to lay low. She can't help breaking into her own house to check on the babysitter or stop herself from tossing the yoga instructor who gets on her nerves. And when Ian Blackford, who is supposed to be dead, once again starts causing trouble for the USAWMD, the agency becomes desperate to get Sally back on the job. How can Sally or Lucy or whatever her name is save the planet while at the same time keeping her own family's world from spinning out of control? Every bit as much fun as a spy-mom thriller ought to be, Original Sin is a fast-paced adventure story for mothers and spies, and anyone who has ever dreamed about being either.
Original Stories from Real Life: With Conversations Calculated to Regulate the Affections, and Form the Mind to Truth and Goodness (Women in Print)
by Valerie Hotchkiss Mary WollstonecraftIn 1791, Mary Wollstonecraft drew upon her experiences as a governess as well as her understanding of the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau to publish this popular collection of moral tales for children. Not surprisingly, the woman who would later write A Vindication of the Rights of Women had strong views on children's education. Wollstonecraft desired nothing less than liberating children, both girls and boys, from what she believed were irrational modes of education in late eighteenth-century European culture. Her hyper rational stories became influential models for expressing particular philosophies of education through children's literature. This beautiful facsimile of the 1791 edition includes the original illustrations by William Blake. A commentary by Eileen Hunt Botting puts the text in context and hints at influences on Wollstonecraft's daughter Mary Shelley and the pedagogical philosophy behind Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Like all volumes in the Women in Print series, Original Stories from Real Life is provided as an open access book and downloads to a wide variety of platforms and online e-readers.
The Originals
by Cat PatrickA riveting new story from Cat Patrick, author of Forgotten and Revived. 17-year-olds Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey Best grew up as identical triplets... until they discovered a shocking family secret.

Then Lizzie meets Sean Kelly, a guy who seems to see into her very soul.

Origins: How the nine months before birth shape the rest of our lives
by Annie Murphy PaulWomen who become pregnant today are bombarded with urgent messages about the food they eat, the chemicals they’re exposed to, the stress they feel—and how such prenatal influences will affect their future children. When Annie Murphy Paul first encountered the intense anxiety and overwhelming responsibility that now accompany pregnancy, she was shocked, then baffled, then curious. And when she become pregnant a second time, she decided to investigate. Over the course of nine months, Paul explores how fetuses are shaped in utero, separating the evidence from the hype and filling in the historical and cultural context. As a science writer, she goes deep into the exciting new field of fetal origins, examining its claims that many of our individual characteristics—from susceptibility to disease, to appetite and metabolism, to intelligence and even personality and temperament—begin in the womb. And as a pregnant woman, she probes the cultural mania that surrounds pregnancy today, bringing to bear her own intimately observed experience. Filled with startling insights and eye-opening perspectives, Origins will change the way you think about yourself, your children, and human nature itself.
Origins: How the Nine Months Before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives
by Annie Murphy PaulWhat makes us the way we are? Some say it's the genes we inherit at conception. Others are sure it's the environment we experience in childhood. But could it be that many of our individual characteristics--our health, our intelligence, our temperaments--are influenced by the conditions we encountered before birth? That's the claim of an exciting and provocative field known as fetal origins. Over the past twenty years, scientists have been developing a radically new understanding of our very earliest experiences and how they exert lasting effects on us from infancy well into adulthood. Their research offers a bold new view of pregnancy as a crucial staging ground for our health, ability, and well-being throughout life. Author and journalist Annie Murphy Paul ventures into the laboratories of fetal researchers, interviews experts from around the world, and delves into the rich history of ideas about how we're shaped before birth. She discovers dramatic stories: how individuals gestated during the Nazi siege of Holland in World War II are still feeling its consequences decades later; how pregnant women who experienced the 9/11 attacks passed their trauma on to their offspring in the womb; how a lab accident led to the discovery of a common household chemical that can harm the developing fetus; how the study of a century-old flu pandemic reveals the high personal and societal costs of poor prenatal experience. Origins also brings to light astonishing scientific findings: how a single exposure to an environmental toxin may produce damage that is passed on to multiple generations; how conditions as varied as diabetes, heart disease, and mental illness may get their start in utero; why the womb is medicine's latest target for the promotion of lifelong health, from preventing cancer to reducing obesity. The fetus is not an inert being, but an active and dynamic creature, responding and adapting as it readies itself for life in the particular world it will enter. The pregnant woman is not merely a source of potential harm to her fetus, as she is so often reminded, but a source of influence on her future child that is far more powerful and positive than we ever knew. And pregnancy is not a nine-month wait for the big event of birth, but a momentous period unto itself, a cradle of individual strength and wellness and a crucible of public health and social equality.With the intimacy of a personal memoir and the sweep of a scientific revolution, Origins presents a stunning new vision of our beginnings that will change the way you think about yourself, your children, and human nature itself.
Origins and Originality in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice
by Maria Borcsa Peter StrattonThe founding volume of the European Family Therapy Association book series presents new ideas confirming the crucial importance of systemic family therapy for family practice. Spanning paradigms, models, concepts, applications, and implications for families as they develop, experts in the field demonstrate the translatability of session insights into real-world contexts, bolstering therapeutic gains outside the treatment setting. Chapters emphasize the potential for systemic family therapy as integrative across theories, healing disciplines, modes of treatment, while contributors' personal perspectives provide unique takes on the therapist's role. Together, these papers promote best practices not only for therapy, but also research and training as professionals delve deeper into understanding the complexity and diversity of families and family systems. Included in the coverage: * The story of an encounter: the systemic approach at the heart of innovative clinical practice. * Steps to an ultramodern family therapy. * From networks to resonance: the life journey of a family therapist. * How to give a voice to children in family therapy. * Systemic theory and narratives of attachment: integration, formulation, and development over time. * Virtual relations and globalized families: the Genogram 4. 0 interview. Origins and Originality in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice offers practitioners and other professionals particularly interested in family therapy practice timely, ethical tools for enhancing their work.
