A brilliant new guide to understanding the origins of codependence and the path to recovery by a nationally recognized authority on dependency and addiction. In this fresh new look at codependence, Pia Mellody traces the origins of this illness back to childhood, describing a whole range of emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and sexual abuses. Because of these earlier experiences, codependent adults often lack the skills necessary to lead mature lives and have satisfying relationships. Recovery from codependence comes from clearing up the toxic feelings left over from childhood and learning to reparent oneself by intervening on the adult symptoms of codependence. Central to Mellody's concept is the idea of the "precious child" that needs healing within each adult. She creates a framework for identifying codependent behavior and describes an effective approach to recovery that includes both therapy and self-help processes. Designed to be used with her new workbook for codependents, Breaking Free, this is a powerful tool for understanding the nature of codependence.

Read the Bldg Blog interview with Mary Beard about the Wonders of
the World series(Part I and Part II) Built by the decree of
Constantine, rebuilt by some of the most distinguished architects
in Renaissance Italy, emulated by Hitler's architect in his vision
for Germania, immortalized on film by Fellini, and fictionalized by
a modern American bestseller, St. Peter's is the most easily
recognizable church in the world. This book is a cultural history
of one of the most significant structures in the West. It bears the
imprint of Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Canova.
For Grand Tourists of the eighteenth century, St. Peter's
exemplified the sublime. It continues to fascinate visitors today
and appears globally as a familiar symbol of the papacy and of the
Catholic Church itself. The church was first built in the fourth
century on what is thought to be the tomb of Peter--the rock upon
which Christ decreed his church shall be built. After twelve
hundred years, the church was largely demolished and rebuilt in the
sixteenth century when it came to acquire its present-day form. St.
Peter's awes the visitor by its gigantic proportions, creating a
city within itself. It is the mother church, the womb from which
churches around the world have taken inspiration. This book covers
the social, political, and architectural history of the church from
the fourth century to the present. From the threshold, to the
subterranean Roman necropolis, to the dizzying heights of the dome,
this book provides rare perspectives and contexts for understanding
the shape and significance of the most illustrious church in the
world.
Balthazar, book thief and bon vivant, arrives in Alexandria to
steal from the famous library. But from the moment he steps off the
boat, a veiled figure shadows him. Zeinab, literary prostitute and
avenging ghost, will be his chaperone through the city of books.
With her help, he succeeds in penetrating the underground library.
But once inside, instead of ransacking it, he becomes obsessed with
the youngest librarian, Shireen, who was born in the library and is
herself more than half book. Their love story forms the heart of
the novel. Balthazar schemes to get Shireen out of the library. But
Zeinab has plans of her own . . . In sumptuous, evocative prose,
The Book on Fire explores the relationships between creation and
destruction, between belief and imagination, between desire and
fulfillment. This new edition contains the bonus story, City of
Bones, and a brand new cover Ursula K. Le Guin said of Keith Miller
s first novel, The Book of Flying, that it was original in concept
and elegant in language, and Booklist called it a beautiful and
haunting modern fable that reads like exquisite poetry . This
second novel amply fulfils the promise of the first.

"As soon as the idea of the Flood subsided, A hare stopped in the
clover and swinging flowerbells and said his prayer to the rainbow
through the spider's web . . ." Arthur Rimbaud's short career as a
poet came to a fiery close with The Illuminations. Innovative in
their juxtaposition of images and exploration of language, the
poems have inspired generations of poets. They retain their
avant-garde flavor more than a century after they were first
published. Five years in the making, this new translation by Keith
Miller transmits the vitality and freshness of Rimbaud's voice
while preserving fidelity to the originals. This dual-language
edition allows readers to compare the translation with the
original.

Our hero, Pico, is a poet and librarian, and forbidden to pursue
the girl of his dreams, for she has wings and Pico does not. When
he discovers an ancient letter in his library telling of the
mythical Morning Town where the flightless may gain their wings, he
sets off on a quest. It's a magical journey in which he meets a
robber queen, a lonely minotaur, a cannibal, an immortal beauty,
and a dream seller. Each has a story, and a lesson, for Pico-about
learning to love, to persevere, and, of course, to fly.
An exploration of the Twelve Steps and their unique benefits for Christians.
