Questo libro una risorsa per tutte le persone che hanno a cuore i diritti umani e la dignit umana in generale, e per le donne in particolare. Milioni di ragazze e donne in Africa e in altre parti del mondo, specialmente in Medio Oriente, hanno sperimentato la dolorosa, traumatica e pericolosa pratica della mutilazione genitale femminile (MGF).

Queste affermazioni per il loro significato sociale e culturale hanno una qualche legittimit ? Questo libro evidenzia la prevalenza e l'origine delle MGF, chiarisce le idee sbagliate che circondano la pratica e offre potenziali approcci per la sua eradicazione
Rewire Your Anxious Brain

Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence - based solution to overcoming anxiety based in cutting - edge neuroscience and research. In the book, you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. By comparison, the cortex is the center of ''worry.'' That is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen. In the book, Pittman and Karle make it simple by offering specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping into both of these pathways in the brain. As you read, you'll gain a greater understanding how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result, you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it. The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. Using the practical self - assessments and proven - effective techniques in this book, you will learn to literally ''rewire'' the brain processes that lie at the root of your fears.

This title provides transcripts that offer new insights on the infamous trial. In 1925 Leonard Rhinelander, the youngest son of a wealthy New York society family, sued to end his marriage to Alice Jones, a former domestic servant and the daughter of a 'colored' cabman. After being married only one month, Rhinelander pressed for the dissolution of his marriage on the grounds that his wife had lied to him about her racial background. The subsequent marital annulment trial became a massive public spectacle, not only in New York but across the nation - despite the fact that the state had never outlawed interracial marriage.Elizabeth Smith-Pryor makes extensive use of trial transcripts, in addition to contemporary newspaper coverage and archival sources, to explore why Leonard Rhinelander was allowed his day in court. She moves fluidly between legal history, a day-by-day narrative of the trial itself, and analyses of the trial's place in the culture of the 1920s North to show how notions of race, property, and the law were - and are - inextricably intertwined.

Tears in the Darkness

Tears in the Darkness is an altogether new look at World War II that exposes the myths of war and shows the extent of suffering and loss on both sides. For the first four months of 1942, U.S., Filipino, and Japanese soldiers fought what was America's first major land battle of World War II, the battle for the tiny Philippine peninsula of Bataan. It ended with the surrender of 76,000 Filipinos and Americans, the single largest defeat in American military history. The defeat, though, was only the beginning, as Michael and Elizabeth M. Norman make dramatically clear in this powerfully original book. From then until the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, the prisoners of war suffered an ordeal of unparalleled cruelty and savagery: forty-one months of captivity, starvation rations, dehydration, hard labor, deadly disease, and torture--far from the machinations of General Douglas MacArthur. The Normans bring to the story remarkable feats of reportage and literary empathy. Their protagonist, Ben Steele, is a figure out of Hemingway: a young cowboy turned sketch artist from Montana who joined the army to see the world. Juxtaposed against Steele's story and the sobering tale of the Death March and its aftermath is the story of a number of Japanese soldiers.

`An excellent introduction.... Readers of this journal looking for a brief but comprehensive introduction to the field of stress management will find this book to be more than adequate for this purpose. Perhaps the book's greatest strength is the way it has managed to combine insights and research from both occupational psychology and clinical psychology to tackle workplace stress. Cary Cooper would surely be pleased with the authors' efforts at what he has termed "clinical occupational" psychology' - International Journal of Social Psychiatry This practical guide focuses on the intervention strategies which can be employed by counsellors to help individuals suffering from emotional and physiological stresses engendered in the workplace. With key points illustrated by case studies, chapters define the nature of occupational stress and provide information about the emotional, behavioural, physiological and cognitive symptoms which can occur. The authors also discuss the factors influencing the problem: factors which can be tied to the individual, to the work setting and to the larger social context. Specific coping strategies explored are targeted both at the individual, for example relaxation training and stress management programmes, and at the workplace, for instance job redesign and career planning. Finally, methods that practitioners can use to evaluate their interventions are presented in detail.

The global development community is increasingly recognizing the need to better manage for results, to implement development assistance to achieve results on the ground. This in turn has highlighted the strategic value of performance information at the operational level. The challenges are to provide quality and timely information for decision-making at critical points, and to help development practitioners incorporate the use of outcome information into their business practices. Evaluative exercises help meet these challenges by providing information on outcomes achieved, examining the relevance of strategies to development impacts, underscoring good practices, and supporting and informing operations. Self-assessment of development strategies and interventions is a powerful tool in planning and managing for results, as it provides critical and timely performance information. Self-Assessment in Managing for Results provides some of the tools for a systematic analytical evaluative process that improves planning and management. Bringing inquiry concepts, process, and practice closer to the users, this title is a must have for any development practitioner interested in better understanding and documenting the results of development aid on the ground.
