Nikki, beruhige dich. Sie griff nach seiner Hand und einen Moment lang starrte er darauf, genoss die W rme ihrer Haut auf seiner. Ich hatte eine Schei angst in dieser Nacht, gab er schlie lich zu. Deswegen habe ich noch mehr genommen. Nikki Sella, dramatischer Rockstar, neuerdings untotes Wesen, und Kathy Adams, Medizinstudentin, J gerin von Monstern und wohnhaft in einer Stadt des ewigen Zwielichts. Weder wei Kathy, dass Licht und Dunkel dort um die Herrschaft k mpfen, noch dass sie inzwischen mitten in diesem Kr ftemessen steckt. Aber sie hat ein Versprechen gegeben. Dem Mann, den sie liebt, zu helfen und herauszufinden, zu was die Schattenwelt ihn gemacht hat. Ein Versprechen, das gar nicht so leicht zu erf llen ist. Und je mehr sich Kathy und Nikki durch die neuen Geschehnisse k mpfen, desto ersichtlicher wird, dass dieser Schwur ihrer beider Leben retten k nnte.
Este trabajo centr sus esfuerzos en desentra ar las vigentes disparidades Norte-Sur (que se traspola de lo socio-econ mico a lo comunicacional), los procesos globalizantes de dominio planetario y c mo esta desigualdad ha tra do como consecuencia negativa la neocolonizaci n cultural y la destrucci n del planeta a trav s del paradigma desarrollista que se promueve. La obra contiene los resultados de una Tesis Doctoral, con aportes que promueven la revaloraci n de un nuevo orden, con incidencia en la formaci n del nuevo profesional, en la urgencia de otra comunicaci n como motor de cambio social y medio para el desarrollo sostenible, hacia la integraci n de los pueblos, el equilibrio y la paz del planeta. Se concibe como un punto de partida en el ideal de que se genere comprensi n sobre los antecedentes del panorama medi tico mundial y las rutas hacia un nuevo orden comunicacional, que apalanque otro mundo posible, arrojando propuestas que pueden ser reflexionadas seg n contextos particulares. Representa un estudio novedoso y de incalculable valor cient fico y socio-acad mico, de utilidad en la praxis educativa en las reas de comunicaci n, periodismo, la nueva geopol tica y otras.
This important study examines population trends in Burma during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, looking in particular at public health and the epidemiology of disease. In developing this material, the author also presents a wide-ranging social history of modern Burma, relating the history of particular diseases to cultural beliefs and practices, as well as population movements, developments in agriculture and irrigation, nutritional trends, and the deployment of government servants and military personnel.The study uncovers much new information about Burma that will be of considerable interest to a wide range of scholars. It also contains material relating to historical demography, epidemiology, public health, and public administration in colonial times. But what will be especially striking to all readers is will be Richell's account of the indifference of the British to the health needs of their Burmese subjects, not least the refusal to implement the simplest of measures to reduce the appalling death toll.
""Bas ndose en el principio budista de la impermanencia, la autora reflexiona sobre el fen meno del cambio que se manifiesta en todos los aspectos de la vida. Asimismo, ofrece una serie de consejos pr cticos y muy concretos para cultivar una actitud de apertura ante la muerte, que nos permite acompa ar a los que est n m s cerca del umbral sin exigirnos ni exigirles perfecci n. En los ltimos a os se han publicado muchos libros sobre la muerte y el morir, un tema provocativo en una cultura que se niega a pensar en la muerte y prefiere creer en la eterna juventud. Por eso, se podr a decir que Sin miedo a la muerte es un libro subversivo. Judith Lief nos acerca a este tema desde la larga experiencia acumulada en los cursos y talleres que ha dictado sobre El libro tibetano de los muertos y el acercamiento a la muerte, en los que participan profesionales de la salud, estudiantes, voluntarios que trabajan con pacientes terminales e incluso enfermos graves. A partir de esa experiencia, de las ense anzas budistas sobre el tema y del material que le han aportado sus alumnos, la autora nos invita a contemplar la muerte de frente, sin tab es. A diferencia de muchos cursos y publicaciones en los que el llamado a vivir el presente se confunde con la negaci n de la muerte, este libro nos propone abrirnos a ella sin velos protectores, para llegar a un punto en que podamos mirarla cara a cara, sin temor. Parad jicamente, esta forma de acercarnos a la muerte le da m s sentido a la vida y nos ayuda a abrimos con toda honestidad a los dem s -amigos, parientes, desconocidos- y a acompa ar a los que est n m s cerca del umbral sin exigirnos ni exigirles perfecciones. Bas ndose en las ense anzas del budismo sobre la impermanencia y el proceso de morir, Judith Lief nos ofrece una serie de consejos pr cticos y muy concretos para cultivar una actitud de apertura ante la muerte. JUDITH L. LIEF ha dictado cursos en muchos pa ses sobre la muerte y el morir y sobre la aplicaci n pr ctica de la plena presencia y la atenci n que se cultivan en la meditaci n budista. La autora, que es instructora avanzada de meditaci n, dirige talleres y seminarios sobre la muerte y el morir en la Universidad Naropa de Boulder, en Estados Unidos, y da charlas sobre el tema en encuentros budistas y multiculturales sobre el tema. Trabaj varios a os en el Centro Maitri para pacientes ambulatorios de Yonkers, en Nueva York, como consejera de enfermos de sida.

Disease and Demography in Colonial Burma is an examination of the factors that shaped demographic change in Burma between 1852 and 1941. Despite increasing contemporary interest in the historical demography of the non-European world, there has been little detailed exploration of Burma’s extensive but problematic population records. Judith Richell developed a demographic framework for Burma by analysing late nineteenth century and early 20th century census data, and used this information to analyse population change within the country. Colonial Burma experienced relatively high rates of mortality, and Richell related this phenomenon to nutrition, the development of sanitary and health services, the impact of migration from India, and agricultural change. She also assessed infant, child and adult mortality, the incidence of endemic diseases such as beri beri and malaria, and outbreaks of plague and cholera as well as the influenza pandemic of 1918. The data the author collected and her discussion of these topics provide an exceptionally valuable resource for scholars interested in Burma, demography and public health in Southeast Asia.

This volume consists of a series of essays inspired by Freud's paper on Jensen's novel Gradiva - "she who steps along." In the story a young archaeologist, Norbert Hanold, suffers from delusions but is able to unravel the mysteries of his emotional life and mind with the aid of a woman who does not challenge these delusions, but rather "steps along" with Hanold, gradually helping him to disentangle truth from fantasy, through what Freud called "cure by love". Gradiva, originally felt to be the source of Hanold's malady, eventually becomes the agent of its resolution and of his return to health. This extraordinary tale formed the basis for the author's concept of "taking the transference". Through clinical vignettes, various aspects of psychoanalytic technique - useful from the first encounter between patient and analyst and throughout the process of the development of mind to termination - are illustrated in detail.
An extraordinary depiction of one analyst's efforts to receive and respond to the vivid impressions of her patients raw and sometimes even unmentalized experiences as they are highlighted in the transference-countertransference connection. Mitrani attempts to feel, suffer, mentally transform, and, finally, verbally construct for and with the patient possible meanings for those immediate versions of lifes earliest experiences as they are re-enacted in the therapeutic relationship. She uses insights from this therapeutic work to contribute to the metapsychology of British and American object relations as well as to the psychoanalytic theory of technique. In these eleven essays, Dr Mitrani masterfully integrates the work of Klein, Winnicott, Bion and Tustin as she leads us on an expedition through primitive emotional territories. She clears the way toward detecting and understanding the survival function of certain pathological manoeuvres deployed by patients when confronted by unthinkable anxieties. In her vivid accounts of numerous clinical cases, she provides and demonstrates the tools needed to effect a transformation of unmentalized experiences within the context of the therapeutic relationship.
