Sinopse

In "A Hand-book of Precious Stones," Meyer D. Rothschild presents a meticulous exploration of gemstones, blending scientific rigor with an accessible literary style. This volume serves as both a comprehensive guide and an artful narrative, offering insights into the physical properties, historical significance, and cultural impact of various precious stones. Rothschild's writing resonates with the precision of a mineralogist, while remaining engaging for the lay reader. The author's deep appreciation for gemology shines through, making the book a significant contribution to both the fields of geology and decorative arts, reflecting the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in natural sciences and aesthetics. Meyer D. Rothschild, a prominent figure in the early 20th century, was influenced by his background in both science and the fine arts. His passion for jewels and their enigmatic allure likely stemmed from a desire to bridge the gap between empirical knowledge and aesthetic appreciation. Rothschild'Äôs scholarly pursuits and hands-on experience in gemology provided the foundation for this detailed handbook, which serves to educate and inspire connoisseurs and casual readers alike. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of precious stones will find Rothschild'Äôs work invaluable. This handbook not only enlightens the novice gemologist but also serves as an enriching resource for jewelers, historians, and collectors, offering a treasure trove of knowledge that celebrates the beauty and significance of the world'Äôs most coveted gems.

    In Optimizing Outcomes, pediatric neurologist Dr. Mark Mintz confronts long-held assumptions about the treatment of neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders. He addresses gaps in understanding, the overuse of medication, overutilization of resources and financial waste, and more issues that continue plaguing this area of treatment, specifically regarding children. He explains how many of the behaviors and pathologies currently associated with autism impede independent adult functioning, and that, in turn, early, intensive treatment and intervention can have profound effects on the lives of children and their families. This book is a story about Mintz bridging the gaps in the currently fragmented system of care for patients with autism spectrum disorders and other neurodevelopmental disabilities while adhering to precision and evidence-based medical sciences through his groundbreaking organization, NeurAbilites. Told through the lens of Dr. Mintz’s own experiences with patients, and his deep knowledge in the field, Optimizing Outcomes models a way forward.

    "It was a delight to re-read and record The Headmaster. My Deerfield days came back to me in a great rush. ... So much of Mr. Boyden's teaching focused on what boys needed to grow up to be adults in society, with a particular emphasis on giving back to the community.” —Edoardo BalleriniStarting in 1902 at a country school that had an enrollment of fourteen, Frank Boyden built an academy that has long since taken its place on a level with Andover and Exeter. Boyden, who died in 1972, was the school's headmaster for sixty-six years. John McPhee portrays a remarkable man "at the near end of a skein of magnanimous despots who...created enduring schools through their own individual energies, maintained them under their own absolute rule, and left them forever imprinted with their own personalities." More than simply a portrait of the Headmaster of Deerfield Academy, it is a revealing look at the nature of private school education in America. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

    Bestselling author and psychologist Tony Bates has spent his whole career examining and seeking to understand the lives of others. Here, he turns his therapeutic eye on himself and describes the events and people in his own life that have made him the insightful thinker and teacher that he is today.
    Tony recalls traumatic events in his childhood that reverberated throughout his life for many years and describes how, with therapy and time, he was eventually able to heal those internal wounds. He recounts the stories of people in pain that affected him most deeply and informed both the direction of his work and his philosophy as a psychologist.
    By interweaving his own life story with reflections on how psychology and society treat people with mental health vulnerabilities, Tony invites us to reflect with compassion on the meaning of emotional struggles in all our lives.
    'A searingly honest, lucid and inspiring account of a life, moving from deep childhood trauma to the hard-earned wisdom of a wounded healer. A compelling read and remarkable achievement.' Richard Kearney
    'I was moved by Tony's honesty; humbled by his courage; fascinated by the way he used psychology to make sense of his personal suffering; and inspired by the place he has arrived at this point in his life. Beautifully written, poetic in parts, Tony's book is a treasure trove of wisdom. Everyone should read it.' Alan Carr, PHD
    'What a generous gift, so typical of Tony, to those who need to know that in their loneliness or depression they are not alone' Dr Mary McAleese
    'This is an emotional read in which the psychologist bears their own soul and highlights why they are so skilled at their work' Niall Breslin
