Psychological Aspects In Time Of Pandemic
Psychological Aspects In Time Of Pandemic
Juan Moisés De La Serna Self-Development
After the very positive reception to the article entitled “Cual es el papel del psicólogo ante el nuevo Coronavirus (COVID-19)?” (“What is the role of psychology in the face of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19)?”) published in La Cátedra Abierta de Psicológia y Neurociencias on 12th February 2020, and the general interest evoked amongst fellow psychologists and other people with an interest in psychology, I have decided to produce this book, which addresses the subject of the psychological perspective in times of a pandemic. Despite the fact that information concerning health crises such as COVID-19 is very recent and in some cases quite changeable, I am going to present a work based on current data sourced principally from scientific publications, and which will include, from the same sources, statements from various experts. A book accessible to all those who wish to delve into the psychological aspects of a mass phenomenon in times of a health crisis, as in the case of COVID-19.

Boot Language: A Memoir
Boot Language: A Memoir
Vanya Erickson Biographies&Memoirs
In order to survive her childhood, Vanya Erickson was forced to become fluent in two languages: her Christian Scientist mother’s honeyed versions of the truth; and her rancher father’s hard-as-the-scrape-of-his-bootheels words, which stung like the back of his hand. Long version: From the outside, Vanya’s childhood of riding horses with her father in the solitude of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and attending flamboyant operas with her mother in the city looked idyllic. But life for Vanya was more about learning to gauge and survive her parents’ unpredictable actions - from being left to lie in her own blood-soaked diaper while her Christian Scientist mother prayed, refusing to get medical help, to watching her father writhe on his bed in the detox ward, his hands and feet tethered with leather straps. Vanya the only way she knew how: by immersing herself in the beauty and solitude of the wilderness around her.

The Hero's Brother
The Hero's Brother
M. Scott Anderson Thriller&Suspense
It’s hard enough being barely above average, when your brothers include the deadliest swordsman of the realm, a saint, prodigies – and the greatest hero of the Middle Ages. But what if you haven’t seen your Queen of Love in years, and she's imprisoned by a one-armed religious zealot and lethal librarians? Even worse, your only allies are vicious killers, with rather bad manners and outsized appetites. Who all want to murder your heroic brother. The result – in a world of pedantic misrule, feckless magic, and courage both dauntless and daunted – is either High Adventure or an Identity Crisis. Or both.

A Woman In The Shadows
A Woman In The Shadows
Maria Pia Oelker Literature&Fiction
A historical novel set in Tuscany in the 18th century, during the enlightened government of Pietro Leopoldo of Hapsburg Lorraine. Autobiographical memories of the Grand Duchess Maria Luisa, his wife and confidante.<br><br>“Vienna 1792. Maria Ludovica of Bourbon, the Spanish Infanta, for many years Grand Duchess of Tuscany and now Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, watches impotently the sudden death of her beloved consort, Pietro Leopoldo of Hapsburg, and from that moment begins almost frenetically to rekindle, one after the other, her innumerable memories of a life, still short, but intensely lived, beside the man who, since their first meeting had fascinated and conquered her, and to whom she had been a discrete and faithful companion. Public facts are weaved together with private feelings, with joys and suffering, in a sequence of urgent events. The Empress unconsciously knows, has always known, that she cannot survive for long (Editor’s note: she will in fact die just two months later) after the death of her husband and therefore must hurry to organise her memories, to finally manage to give an answer to the most important question for her: what did she really mean to him? Only a political and dynastic link, the mother of his children, friend and confidante or the woman he loved notwithstanding everything?”

51 Money Mistakes To Avoid In Your Twenties.
51 Money Mistakes To Avoid In Your Twenties.
Charlene Bezos Self-Development
This ebook gives you 51 money mistakes you can avoid making in your twenties to achieve financial freedom later in life.<br><br>As an adult in your twenties, you tend to try to figure out your life’s financial future and also learn from your past mistakes to try creating a better tomorrow. In your twenties, you feel that adulthood is still new and thrilling. You have many things transpiring in your mind, such as buying a car, getting a house, and getting a paying job. All these desires make you feel like you are destined for riches very soon. It is such a wonderful time! But, although it is fun to be young, your twenties can shape or destroy your financial future. You must make great use of your time to maximize your potential, or else, you risk making costly decisions that can significantly impact your life ahead. If you are ready to build your ideal financial future properly, these are the 51 money mistakes to avoid in your twenties. 1, Failure to save for retirement: When you are in your twenties, retirement sometimes feels very far away, making you overlook it. However, failure to save for retirement is among the most frequent and significant money mistakes that you can commit. The advantage of saving money in your twenties is that you still have more time. The earlier you begin saving, the more you can benefit from compound interest rates. Besides your savings, your employer may offer you some money to help facilitate your retirement objectives through a work-sponsored retirement savings plan. An employer's contribution of only 5% of your salary amount can significantly impact the amount of money you will have upon retiring. Failure to save for retirement in your twenties will make you work for so long despite the aging factor, contribute more money for retirement later, or fail to retire. 2, The Mistake of Going into Credit Card Debt: For any twenty-year-old who earns less, unnecessary spending of lots of money on his credit card can be extremely tempting. It becomes easy for a twenty-year-old to place future financial expenses on his card to pay later. Unfortunately, many people in the twenties age bracket don't realize the extent to which debt can affect their lives. Getting yourself into a credit card debt can lead to extreme financial difficulties with time. Therefore, you should learn to respect and understand your credit to minimize the possibility of money mistakes in your twenties.

Do UFOs Exist?
Do UFOs Exist?
Juan Moisés De La Serna Science Fiction
The night was dark. Suddenly, a great glow came through the window and such clarity flooded the room that woke me up. Amazed, I looked everywhere. What was going on? I rubbed my eyes and I really didn´t know if I was still asleep and that was a dream. I sat up in bed. I had to see what was happening because I did not understand what had happened. Trying to wake up a bit, I put my feet on the floor and the coldness of the tiles ended up waking me up. I saw that I was in my bedroom and was still at night. Through the window, nothing could be seen, only darkness, not a single star in the sky could be seen. But in my head, still dazed, I remembered what had woken me up. Although I didn´t know what it had been, a feeling came to my mind, something like a great light, or a glow, maybe it would be a flash light.
