A Guide to the Deer of the World is a long-overdue review of deer
as we understand them today and includes several species which have
only recently become known to science. Writing for a wide
readership in a straightforward and easily accessible style,
Charles Smith-Jones has produced an authoritative and attractive
reference work with a strong conservation focus. Lavishly
illustrated throughout in colour, the guide looks at deer
evolution, biology and lifestyles in general before covering each
of the fifty-five true deer, seven musk deer and ten chevrotain
species as well as their subspecies in more detail with
photographs, general information and distribution maps. In
addition, there are fact boxes which include descriptions of
individual recognition features, habitats, behaviour, breeding and
conservation issues for each member of this widely diverse and
fascinating group of animals. Forming an iconic and important part
of almost all the world's ecosystems, many of the species featured
are elusive and only very rarely photographed or observed. Any
areas of taxonomical confusion and ongoing discussion are
highlighted in readily understandable terms. This book will have a
valued place in the library or on the coffee table of any nature
lover or deer enthusiast.
Esta obra, dirigida a psicologos y psicoterapeutas, desarrolla en
un lenguaje accesible y desde la optica sistemica, el uso de
cuentos e historias en contextos terapeuticos para el trabajo con
ninos y sus familias. El uso de historias en la terapia es
trascendental, ya que proporciona un contexto de significacion para
abordar un problema especifico, donde la imaginacion, la
participacion de los escuchas, la complicidad y los rituales, se
convierten en un poderoso medio para encontrar soluciones
adecuadas. Es conveniente que los terapeutas dedicados a trabajar
con ninos y sus familias desarrollen la habilidad para crear
narraciones que proporcionen una nueva mirada al conflicto, y
tambien que generen la posibilidad de motivar a los sistemas
familiares para cambiar y crecer. En este libro se presentan varios
casos clinicos, en los cuales se muestra el uso de los cuentos y
otras tecnicas narrativas integradas al proceso terapeutico para
apoyar a las familias que pasan por momentos dificiles, como son el
divorcio, la muerte inesperada y violenta del padre, los
recurrentes miedos infantiles, y la desorganizacion familiar ante
la presencia de un hijo con capacidades diferentes.
