Paperback. Condition: Good. The definitive account of the romance, marriage, and enduring bond between Prince William and Kate Middleton, told by #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen and updated with a new chapter and photographs marking the birth of their son, Prince George of Cambridge. Destined from the beginning to become one of the most celebrated unions of the 21st century, William and Kate forged a love story shaped by privilege and pressure, devotion and sacrifice. He was the charismatic prince raised in the shadow of tragedy and duty; she was the confident, grounded young woman who won his heart and earned the respect of a global public. Drawing on deep reporting and insider insight, Andersen reveals the private moments behind their famously guarded relationship--from their early days as university students, through public breakups and reconciliations, to the forces that tested their commitment and ultimately strengthened it. The book explores William's lifelong bond with his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, the intense scrutiny surrounding Kate's transformation into a future queen, and the challenges posed by royal tradition, scandal, and expectation. Part fairy tale, part family drama, and part political portrait of the modern monarchy, William and Kate is ultimately the story of two people who found each other against extraordinary odds--and whose love reshaped the future of Britain's royal family.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. This is an inspiring story about the life of Kristin Michelle Beaucher, how she touched thousands of lives, all of the pain and suffering she overcame, and how her faith in God only grew stronger. Losing her battle with cancer at the early age of nine never changed the person she was or made her lose sight of what she wanted to accomplish. Kristin was diagnosed with medduloblastoma (brain cancer) at the young age of two and a half. She dealt with more pain and suffering than many adults will endure in their entire life. Kristin overcame every obstacle in her path and every problem that came her way with a smile on her face and love pouring from her heart. Kristin was truly an angel, a gift from God himself, who changed the lives of everyone she met, sometimes without even saying a word. She gave when she had nothing left to give, and her legacy lives on through each and every one of us who had the honor of knowing her. I have cancer so that I can be the one to prove to everybody that God can create miracles. This is my daughter, and she gave her life to save mine. I promised Kristin that I would live every day as she did, to do my very best, and to make her as proud of me as I was of her. I know I will never be able to even come close, but Kristin never gave up. How in the world could I? Sweetie, you will always be my baby, my angel, and my hero.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Scientific Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Psychology - Developmental Psychology, grade: 1,0, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: Erik H. Erikson (1902 - 1994) is without a doubt one of the most outstanding psychoanalysts of the last century. The native Dane and later US-American further developed the psychosocial aspects and the developmental phases of adulthood in Sigmund Freud's stage theory. It is Erikson's basic assumption that in the course of a lifetime, the human being goes through eight developmental phases, which are laid out in an internal development plan. On each level, it is required to solve the relevant crisis, embodied by the integration of opposite poles presenting the development tasks, the successful handling of which is in turn of importance for the following phases. The term crisis does not have a negative connotation for Erikson, but rather is seen as a state, which through constructive resolution leads to further development, which is being integrated and internalized into the own self-image. Each (component) comes to its ascendance, meets its crisis, and finds its lasting solution (.) toward the end of the stages mentioned. All of them exist in the beginning in some form. Hence, the human development is a process alternating between levels, crises, and the new balance in order to reach increasingly mature stages. In detail, Erikson studied the possibilities of an individual's advancement and the affective powers that allow it to act. This becomes particularly obvious in the eight psychosocial phases, which now should be the focus of this paper. This demonstrates that Erikson did see development as above all: a lifelong process.

As a registered nurse, Gail Stewart Frare knew too well all the terrible medical possibilities that could devastate a person, and couldn't help but fret over her two sons, Jeff and Christopher. By the time Christopher entered his teen years as healthy as his older brother, her worries subsided. Then the unspeakable happened. While on a spring break trip to visit Jeff, fifteen-year-old Christopher nearly died from a virus-induced heart failure-becoming one of the only six in one hundred thousand people who suffer from post viral cardiomyopathy. Shortly thereafter, he had to undergo heart transplant surgery. The transplant was successful, but eventually his medication made him vulnerable to an aggressive form of cancer, and he died at the age of twenty-two. After his death, Frare found an entry in her son's journal declaring, True, unadulterated joy in my life is to write at least one piece of literary mastery. Painkillers and Gummi Bears is a coauthored mother-son memoir about facing fear, enduring pain, and choosing love. In writing it, the author holds out the very real hope that what you suffer will not ultimately crush you.…
