Sleeping with the Enemy : Coco Chanel's Secret War (0307475913)

This explosive narrative reveals for the first time the shocking hidden years of Coco Chanel's life: her collaboration with the Nazis in Paris, her affair with a master spy, and her work for the German military intelligence service and Himmler's SS. Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was the high priestess of couture who created the look of the modern woman. By the 1920s she had amassed a fortune and went on to create an empire. But her life from 1941 to 1954 has long been shrouded in rumor and mystery, never clarified by Chanel or her many biographers. Hal Vaughan exposes the truth of her wartime collaboration and her long affair with the playboy Baron Hans Günther von Dincklage--who ran a spy ring and reported directly to Goebbels.

This illustrated volume contains 20 case studies and sensitises the reader to look at a patient holistically, not just at the body, but at the mind and emotions too. This unique volume teaches medicinal science as an art of healing, where modern medicine is not just restricted to science and technology. ...

O analiza a principalelor aspecte psihologice si filosofice desprinse din filmul Solaris regizat de Andrei Tarkovski, precum si tehnicile cinematografice utilizate de regizor pentru a-si transmite mesajele spectatorului. Dupa o prezentare a cartii, filmului si regizorului Andrei Tarkovsky, se evidentiaza ritmul specific al scenelor, miscarea radicala declansata de Tarkovsky in cinematografia moderna, rolul elementelor simbolice si iconice, si afinitatile cu zona fantastica a literaturii ruse. In aspecte psihologice se analizeaza problema comunicarii intr-o societate umana a viitorului considerata de Tarkovsky ca rigida, obsesia casei, si evolutia personala a lui Kris, Hari, si a relatiilor dintre ei. Iar din punct de vedere filosofic se analizeaza filmul prin prisma filosofiei mintii (dualismul cartezian, reductionismul si functionalismul), a teoriei spatiilor heterotopice dezvoltata de Michel Foucault, si intepretarile semantice care se pot deduce din film. De asemenea, se analizeaza ...
