Sonja Danychuk, a serious and introverted student, takes pride in her intellect and academic achievements—essential skills when growing up in a dirt-poor family that struggles to survive in a small town. When her father is cut down by a fatal heart attack, Sonja must find a way to pay for college while also supporting her financially strained mother. She agrees to tutor Carl Helbig, her high school’s hockey star and NHL hopeful, despite her strong aversion to his jock-like persona and what she perceives to be his intellectual inferiority. Carl graduates and embarks on a wildly successful career in the NHL, but he soon finds himself in the brain trauma unit after sustaining concussions on the ice. He and Sonja are once again drawn together, eventually hurtling towards a tragedy that neither of them can outmaneuver. Skating swiftly between tender and tense, Sonja & Carl is a surprising and heartrending love story that exposes the dark side of professional hockey.

Book Description
CO«i»b.H BaCHJIbeBHa lU>BaJIeBcR8JI (Sonja Kovalevsky) was born in Moscow in 1850 and died in Stockholm in 1891. Between these years, in the then changing and turbulent circumstances for Europe, lies the all too brief life of this remarkable woman. This life was lived out within the great European centers of power and learning in Russia, France, Germany, Switzerland, England and Sweden. To this day, now 150 years after her birth, her influence for and contribution to mathe matics, science, literature, women's rights and democratic government are recorded and reviewed, not only in Europe but now in countries far removed in time and distance from the lands of her birth and being. This volume, dedicated to her memory and to her achievements, records the Proceedings of the Marcus Wallenberg Symposium held, in memory of Sonja Kovalevsky, at Stockholm University from 18 to 22 June 2000. The symposium was held at the Department of Mathematics with its excellent library and lecture halls providing favourable working conditions. Within these pages are contained a curriculum vitae for Sonja Kovalevsky, a list of all her scientific publications, together with a copy of the moving and elegant obituary notice written by her friend and protector Gosta Mittag-Leffler. These papers are followed by a leading article entitled Sonja Kovalevsky: Her life and professorship in Stockholm, written especially for this volume by Jan-Erik Bjork in preparation for his major address to the Symposium.

Speaking the Truth in Love
Author: Daniel R. Berger
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725243768
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Approaching public communication from a liberal arts point of view, Speaking the Truth in Love provides a distinctly Christian perspective of rhetoric. Written and oral rhetoric are interwoven throughout the text. Two foundational ideas control the majority of the text. The first is from Plato's Phaedrus as stated by Paul in Ephesians 4:15, "speaking the truth in love." The second is from the Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 4:11, "if anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God." The spiritual responsibility of communicating truth in accordance with the nature of God, especially the virtue of love, is an awesome privilege and opportunity. Sound content spoken or written eloquently with charisma will enable words to have a maximum impact. The text is designed to be a culminating learning experience for undergraduate communication programs or as an introductory text for graduate programs involving public communication. Beginning with a philosophy of language, meaning, and interaction, argument is built against secular deconstructive thought where everyone has a different truth based on language. Alongside philosophy we explore ethics and theology from an evangelical perspective. Following this a brief history outlines rhetorical thought from pre-testament classics to today. Based upon these ideas we take a closer look at communication theory as it relates to public communication. Finally, the text addresses the practice of both written and oral communication.

The Art of Emotional Self-Defense
Author: Sonja Carl Gilligan
Publisher: Epigraph Publishing
ISBN: 9781936940172
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Have you ever noticed how different you are from the people you love? Your best friend skydives and rides motorcycles but you wouldn't risk doing either. Your friend dissolves into tears but you hardly ever cry. Your lover speaks sharply; you have a softer edge. What draws such opposite personalities to one another? Is there a pattern? This is a book about feelings. The author draws the surprising conclusion that there are really only four fundamental feelings: Fear, Anger, Pain and Love. Gilligan asserts that these four feelings are elemental--that they are teaching tools in the handbook of life. The rest of our so-called feelings like anguish, boredom, anxiety, humiliation, and the list goes on, are not true emotions but states of mind that get in the way of your knowing what you are actually feeling. The basic emotions--fear, anger, pain, and love--are constantly "in motion" recycling through your mind and body, second by second. Most of us have hidden them away or denied their presence. These four emotions are guiding the direction of your life whether you are acknowledging them or not. Attaining these life-changing insights will allow you to make important choices, ending recurring and destructive cycles. Once you understand what your feelings are telling you, you will have a guide for living a successful and enriching life. In the late 60's, Sonja and Mike Gilligan formed Fusion Groups. Out of their group experience, and from many intense group-therapy sessions, came an original theory--a concept of behavior based on their observations of how people interact. The resulting insights have continued to inform their day-to-day lives and the lives of many others. The Gilligans are Emmy Award winning filmmakers. They reside in New York's Hudson River Valley. "When I first walked into the groups, I felt like this is home; this is where honest people gather, this is where anger is honored, grief is honored, and above all, this is where honesty is honored!"--Rory Block "I grew up thinking that anger was only used to hurt. With Sonja and Mike, I learned that you have to feel clear anger in a safe place before the other feelings could come out. It saved my life. I finally found a place where women didn't have to be quiet. They could let it rip. I loved it."--Susan Johnston "It helped me distinguish between a real pain feeling and just feeling sorry for myself."--Nick Long "50% of all couples divorce. If they knew what we know, I'll bet the divorce rate would be about 4 %. It changed my life. I could relate to people on a whole new level."--Patricia Kennedy "I came to the group and the whole thing scared the hell out of me, but it was also totally exciting. People were talking about issues that I always knew were there."--James Johnston "It is a hell of a tool for making you clear about what's going on."--John Kennedy

The Listening Book
Author: Robin Ticic
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000846628
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Satisfying, secure connection with others depends heavily on how well we listen to each other and respond to what we’ve heard. The Listening Book lays bare the key elements of both deeply attuned and badly misattuned listening in vivid scenes of real-life interactions that capture the emotional impact and give the reader an illuminating "aha" experience. Added to that is a mind-opening account of psychological processes and principles that normally operate from outside of awareness, showing how skillful listening can reveal those dynamics. Beyond even that, such listening can produce interactions that unlock lifelong emotional conditioning to yield liberating change through one of the brain’s most remarkable processes, which neuroscientists call memory reconsolidation. Whether read solo, with a partner, or in a reading group, The Listening Book is for everyone who yearns for deeper emotional connection and closeness, everyone who is at a loss to understand what is interfering, and everyone who is fascinated by the subtle and manifold factors involved in interpersonal communication.
