Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) has become a common approach in the coaching industry, but many are still skeptical about it being a substantive and coherent methodology. This book is the first to look at NLP coaching as an evidence-based discipline. Susie Linder-Pelz describes how NLP coaching works, using examples and case studies to highlight what distinguishes it from other coaching approaches. She briefs readers on the theoretical underpinnings of NLP, and she explains which aspects of NLP can be backed with evidence and which aspects are not yet substantiated.
What Does a Woman Want? (The Lacanian Clinical Field)
Freud's question is at the root of his discoveries about the unconscious. Serge Andre says that a woman wants the truth, and, in this subtle and highly original comparison of Freud and Lacan, he explains why.
This remarkable reference book tells the story of science from earliest times to the present day, taking in everything from ancient Greek geometry to quantum physics, and the wedge to the worldwide web. Exploring science in a thematic, highly approachable manner, each spread takes as its theme a specific event, discovery, invention, experiment, theory, or individual and explains why this subject was so significant in the development of scientific thought and what its impact on history has been.
James Joyce is one of modern literature's most important authors, yet those coming to his work for the first time often find it difficult to grapple with. This introduction provides all the essential facts about Joyce's life and works, and explains the contexts in which he was writing. It also explains in clearly the different critical approaches that have been used in Joyce studies over the last fifty years. All Joyce's major works, including Ulysses, Finnegans Wake and Dubliners, are covered, and it gives many suggestions for further exploration.
Superconductivity--the flow of electric current without resistance in certain materials as temperatures near absolute zero--is one of the greatest discoveries of 20th century physics, but it can seem impenetrable to those who lack a solid scientific background. Outlining the fascinating history of how superconductivity was discovered, and the race to understand its many mysterious and counter-intuitive phenomena, Stephen Blundell explains in accessible terms the theories that have been developed to explain it, and how they have influenced other areas of science
