by Jean Piaget (2001)
Think of developmental psychology, and the name of Jean Piaget immediately springs to mind. His theory of learning lies at the very heart of the modern understanding of the human learning process, and he is celebrated as the founding father of child psychology. A prolific writer, he is the author of more than 50 books and several hundred articles. This work is one of his most important works. Containing a complete synthesis of his thoughts on the mechanisms of intellectual development, it is an extraordinary volume by an extraordinary writer.

"The fiction of French postcolonial writer Paule Constant is remarkable in its lurid and disturbing portrayals of female characters suffering in profoundly oppressive "colonizing" circumstances. In In Search of Shelter, Margot Miller skillfully synthesizes Karen Horney's model of submission, aggression, and withdrawal; Jean Baker Miller's concept of relational being; Julia Kristeva's idea of psychic space; and Kelly Oliver's notions on social support to analyze Constant's work. Miller's close reading also brings to light previously unnoticed references that illuminate the characters' psychological realities, revealing Constant's nuanced treatment of violence through language, her implicit understanding of the intersections of interpersonal and cognitive psychology as well as of mythological and cultural awareness, in both literature and lived experience. In introducing Paule Constant's work to an English-speaking audience, Miller discovers innovative new ways of reading these and other works of fiction."--BOOK JACKET.

Aleph marks a return to the author's beginnings. In a frank and surprising personal story, one of the world's most beloved authors embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self discovery. Facing a grave crisis of faith, and seeking a path of spiritual renewal and growth, he decides to start over: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe, Africa, and Asia, he will again meet Hilal, the woman he loved 500 years before, an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, through past and present, in search of himself. Aleph is an encounter with our fears and our sins; a search for love and forgiveness, and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges of life.
