It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 11 working days Franco "Bifo" Berardi's newest book analyzes the contemporary changes taking place in our aesthetic and emotional sensibility -- changes the author claims are the result of semio-capitalism's capturing of the inner resources of the subjective process: our experience of time, our sensibility, the way we relate to each other, and our ability to imagine a future. Precarization and fractalization of labor have provoked a deep mutation in the psychosphere, and this can be seen in the rise of psychopathologies such as post-traumatic stress disorder, autism, panic, and attention deficit disorder. Sketching out an aesthetic genealogy of capitalist globalization, Berardi shows how we have arrived at a point of such complexity in the semiotic flows of capital that we can no longer process its excessive currents of information. A swarm effect now rules: it has become impossible to say "no." Social behavior is trapped in inescapable patterns of interaction coded by techno-linguistic machines, smartphones, screens of every size, and all of these sensory and emotional devices end up destroying our organism's sensibility by submitting it to the stress of competition and acceleration. Arguing for disentanglement rather than resistance, Berardi concludes by evoking the myth of La Malinche, the daughter of a noble Aztec family. It is a tale of a translator and traitor who betrayed her own people, yet what the myth portends is the rebirth of the world from the collapse of the old.

Every parent wants to offer the best for his child and consequently spends thousands of rands on extra classes and the best schools. Unfortunately there are still kids whose shortcomings influence their emotional development and social skills. The general knowledge of todayÆs kids is excellent, but the development of their fine and gross motor skills are not up to standard. Their muscle development is also poor. Kids struggle with normal activities such as colouring, cutting, catching a ball, jumping on one leg etc. As a consequence of their poor muscle development they also struggle with poor concentration. There are various factors that influence the development of motor skills. The most general cause is probably the fact that modern entertainment has become passive and lacks creativity. Everyday examples are cellphones, television, computer and tv games. Children no longer know how to play. Ordinary games can help with school-readiness and overcoming the obstacles related to development. As a parent you have to make sure that your son or daughter develops both fine and gross motor skills. Play with your kids, be active, but remember that it is also important to read to your kids. A sound base in basic skills can only assist them in their further development. Examples of the games are old favourites such as: Spoiled egg; Darkroom; Hand tennis; I spy; Tip-cat; Red Rover; Play clay-stick. When kids experience problems with communication, motor and organizational development, it can have a detrimental effect on their self-image. It can also lead to poor academic performance. By utilising games you can stimulate your childÆs short-term memory, which forms the basis for his long-term memory. Remember that games can serve as an incentive for a childÆs comprehension and also help with reasoning and numerical skills. It is also an opportunity to interact and enhance your childÆs emotional development. The book also offers information about motor skill goals for every age group in terms of balance, coordination, spatial orientation, rhythm, swiftness, reaction time and laterality. For example: Balance: A five-year-old should: Be able to stand on one leg for twelve seconds; Be able to walk heel to toe forwards and backwards on a balance stick; Be able to stand comfortably on his/her toes and heels. Allow your child to be a child in the full sense of the word. Love your children by playing with them. Here are 123 games to choose from û from 2-year olds to as old as time. The games are focused on development, but can also be fun for parties, serving as icebreakers or just to play. Format:paperback

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 8 - 15 working days Midnight feasts in dorms, jolly japes with chums, pranks on mad teachers and no boys whatsoever: THE REAL MALORY TOWERS LIFE from award-winning writer, Julie Welch. `As we spilled from the train we could hear loud revving and smell exhaust fumes, and there in the forecourt was a coach waiting to drop us all off at our various houses. I'd been living for this moment since I'd arrived at the school; since before that... We were all schoolgirls everywhere, past, present and future, real and imagined. We were Darrell and her chums at Malory Towers - except the school in front of me wasn't quite the picture I had imagined. Suddenly I had this out-of-nowhere, waking up from a coma moment, as if I had been whisked away by a tornado or washed up by shipwreck on an unknown shore. Where was I? How did I get here? I was on my own, and now I would have to survive...' Too Marvellous for Words! is the wonderfully evocative and entertaining memoir of life in an all-girls boarding school in Suffolk in the early 1960s. Award-winning writer Julie Welch remembers her time spent at Felixstowe College, a long-lost world of arcane rules and happenings, when the headmistress and the Head of Science raced each other on public roads in their sports cars, and when having meringues for birthday tea instead of plain cake was branded `disgraceful'. As the social morals of post-war Britain collided with those of the decadent 1960s, Julie and her fellow pupils discovered Radio Caroline, fashion and the facts of life at the same time as playing lacrosse derbies, attending classical music concerts and sea-bathing.The years spent at Felixstowe College made a lasting impression on the girls who boarded there. Amidst all the fun, deeply emotional attachments were made, with some girls - whose parents were remote or absent - finding support from their classmates that they didn't get at home.Too Marvellous for Words! is the real Malory Towers life, full of character and charm, and serviing as both a memoir and a fascinating social history of a way of English life lived by 'young ladies' some 50 years ago.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 8 - 13 working days Based on a collection of statements delivered between 2003 and 2015, The Vatican in the Family of Nations provides a new understanding of the social doctrine and actions of the Catholic Church in international law and relations. These statements address contemporary issues that stir deep emotional responses, from disarmament, migrations, trade, and intellectual property to discrimination and freedom of conscience. This volume disputes irrational fears of newcomers, offers reasonable adaptations to allow for peaceful coexistence, and insists on investigating the root causes of today's conflicts and displacements. As an independent voice, the Holy See offers these reflections with the view of prioritizing the common good before confessional interests, even when their aims and ends converge. In this sense, this book is a unique collection in international literature on the intersection of theology, human rights and social issues, which opens courageous new paths for the future. Features Summary This book analyzes new developments in human rights, intellectual property, disarmament, and migration from a perspective rooted in Vatican tradition.

This first sustained comparative study uncovers the similarities and the contrasts between the Scottish and Catalan experiences across a five-hundred-year period, beginning with the royal marriages that brought about union with their more powerful neighbors, England and Castile respectively, and following the story through the centuries from the end of the Middle Ages until today's dramatic events. J. H. Elliott examines the political, economic, social, cultural, and emotional factors that divide Scots and Catalans from the larger nations to which their fortunes were joined. He offers new insights into the highly topical subject of the character and development of European nationalism, the nature of separatism, and the sense of grievance underlying the secessionist aspirations that led to the Scottish referendum of 2014, the illegal Catalan referendum of October 2017, and the resulting proclamation of an independent Catalan republic.
