The Erotic Fire of the Unattainable: Aphorisms on Love, Art, and the Vicissitudes of Life
by Gay WalleyThe Erotic Fire of the Unattainable has a subtle narrative wherein author Gay Walley weaves love with life, art with making a living, and inspiration with the banal realities of daily life. The book shows how passion is to be found in every moment, none the least in a passion for independence. Beginning with "Why Women Fight Pirates," Walley covers such disparate topics as "The Disappointments of Infidelity," "Talk in Love," "Writers," "Work and its Punishments," "The Importance of the Argument," "The Ocean," "New York," and ends on "Deathbed."This unflinching narrative is a journey through an artist's mind, taking us outside the usual confines, to lovers and ex-husbands, traveling, solitude, money and the importance of rebellion.
Erotic Innocence: The Culture of Child Molesting
by James KincaidIn Erotic Innocence James R. Kincaid explores contemporary America's preoccupation with stories about the sexual abuse of children. Claiming that our culture has yet to come to terms with the bungled legacy of Victorian sexuality, Kincaid examines how children and images of youth are idealized, fetishized, and eroticized in everyday culture. Evoking the cyclic elements of Gothic narrative, he thoughtfully and convincingly concludes that the only way to break this cycle is to acknowledge--and confront--not only the sensuality of children but the eroticism loaded onto them. Drawing on a number of wide-ranging and well-publicized cases as well as scandals involving such celebrities as Michael Jackson and Woody Allen, Kincaid looks at issues surrounding children's testimonies, accusations against priests and day-care centers, and the horrifying yet persistently intriguing rumors of satanic cults and "kiddie porn" rings. In analyzing the particular form of popularity shared by such child stars such Shirley Temple and Macaulay Culkin, he exposes the strategies we have devised to deny our own role in the sexualization of children. Finally, Kincaid reminds us how other forms of abuse inflicted on children--neglect, abandonment, inadequate nutrition, poor education--are often overlooked in favor of the sensationalized sexual abuse coverage in the news, on daytime TV talk shows, and in the elevators and cafeterias of America each day.This bold and critically enlightened book will interest readers across a wide range of disciplines as well as a larger general audience interested in American culture.
Erotic Integrity: How to be True to Yourself Sexually
by Claudia Six, PhDHave you ever asked yourself the following questions: Are my desires normal? Can I share who I really am with my partner? Am I morally flawed because of my sexual fantasies?

In Erotic Integrity, Dr. Claudia Six leads readers through ten sexual themes—including garden-variety performance anxiety, sexual boredom, newly dating, coming out, and more—and reveals three simple steps to a more rewarding sex life: knowing who you truly are as a sexual being, embracing that knowledge, and living it authentically.

The Erotic Mind: Unlocking the Inner Sources of Sexual Passion and Fulfillment
by Jack MorinChallenging accepted theories about what makes for terrific sex, The Erotic Mind is a breakthrough exploration of the least understood dimensions of human sexuality--the psychology of desire, arousal, and fulfillment. Nationally known sex therapist Dr. Jack Morin offers a bold new perspective that celebrates the joys of Eros without denying its risks. Based on an in-depth analysis of over 1,000 provocative stories of peak sexual experiences, The Erotic Mind offers clear, accessible guidance on how anyone can utilize his or her own peak encounters and fantasies as powerful tools of self-discovery. The Erotic Mind explains the many paradoxes of erotic life, such as: why we're most excited when we must overcome obstacles; how anxiety, guilt, and anger--generally thought to have a negative impact on sexual arousal--often turn out to be aphrodisiacs; how we use unresolved issues from our early lives to intensify passion; and why the best sex is dynamic and unpredictable, rather than static and safe. These and other insights, combined with concrete suggestions for increasing our enjoyment, overcoming our problems, and revitalizing our relationships, will change forever the way we think about our eroticism.

Esa nueva piel: Sobre la maternidad, el duelo y sus alrededores
by Eugenia Tobal«Un testimonio sin imposturas, sin falsos paraísos, sin espejismos. Eugenia Tobal recorre su propia historia, la de su embarazo, su gestación, su parto. E incluye el duelo, esa contradictoria lucha entre la vida y la muerte que nunca imagino vivir de forma tan prematura».Sonia Fides «Dos meses después del nacimiento de Ema, mi madre murió, así que mi soñada y flamante maternidad coincidió con un duelo que en este momento presiento eterno. Sin embargo, qué mejor homenaje puedo brindarles a mi madre y a mi hija que reunirlas en Esa nueva piel, prolongando el encuentro entre las tres, escribiendo nuestro linaje con palabras que van a perdurar en el tiempo».

La voz emotiva, íntegra y delicada de Tobal fluye en cada página, avanza, valiente, por los territorios más espinosos -la maternidad, la muerte, el nacimiento, el duelo- y nos invita a celebrar la vida mirándola siempre de frente.

La escalera a tu mundo interior: Sanación del cuerpo y del alma
by Jorge Enrique Rojas Santiago Rojas Gómez Guillermo Rojas QuicenoUna guía para lograr la sanación del alma y del cuerpo. En las consultas médicas que realizan los autores de este libro, se han dado cuenta de que no todas las enfermedades que aquejan a los seres humanos son del cuerpo, sino que también hay algunas que son expresiones de un desequilibrio espiritual y no se pueden curar con procedimientos tradicionales. Para tratar estos males, debemos hacer un trabajo interno de reflexión y meditación con el fin de comprender qué los está causando y cómo podemos sanarlos de raíz. La escalera a tu mundo interior nos propone entonces un viaje espiritual hacia el autoconocimiento y la sabiduría, a través de siete escalones -siete capítulos- en los que tendremos que enfrentarnos a nosotros mismos, y a todo tipo de obstáculos externos, si queremos experimentar la paz interior que nos llevará al verdadero bienestar. En cada escalón podremos conocer nuestras virtudes y cualidades, o nuestros vicios y pasiones; todo depende de cómo decidamos abordar este recorrido por las emociones, el miedo, la consciencia, el ego, la mente, la liberación y, en últimas, la sanación.

Escape from Bellevue
by Campion Christopher JohnRead Christopher John Campion's posts on the Penguin Blog. Indie rock raconteur Chris Campion-one of the few patients ever to escape from Bellevue's locked ward-recalls his band's tumultuous ride, his plummet into addiction, and the strange road back to sobriety Chronicling more than twenty years in the life of a Long Island kid who became a hardcore fixture of Manhattan's indie rock scene, Escape from Bellevue is a coming-of-age tale like no other. As the lead singer of New York-based indie rock band Knockout Drops, Campion got a taste of fame (but, alas, no fortune) on a wild ride that lasted from the early 1980s through the 1990s. Escape from Bellevue puts the spotlight on the collective psychosis of twenty years spent in a rolling bacchanal. Just as the Knockout Drops reached the height of their success, Campion began his downward spiral. After finally coming to grips with his addictions, Campion molded his songs and stories into a sold-out off-Broadway musical. Now, presenting these tales in a memoir of madness and redemption, Campion once again proves to possess the creative genius of a die-hard front man. .
