SYNOPSIS: Most men and women who divorce want to (and will) marry again. There is always the hope that a second marriage will bring the happiness and lasting security that the first failed to deliver. The good news is that second marriages can be happier, more mutually satisfying. But the world of second marriage is a complex ne, where newly formed families (often with a vastly enlarged cast of characters) must still deal with the unfinished business of the past. Most books on remarriage tend to be negative, offering more sympathy than help. This book, with its constructive approach, offers specific suggestions for coming to terms with a first marriage; choosing second partners wisely while recognizing the secret contracts of courtship; balancing work and home demands; and managing second-marriage finances. Step-parenting, with its myths dispelled, becomes a more positive experience. Valuable chapters deal with communication, handling conflict, and building the intimacy all marriage partners desire. The authors, an experienced marriage-therapist couple, have themselves lived through and mastered the challenge of second marriage. This is the book for men and women who want to marry again or who have already done so. Richard B. Stuart, a marriage therapist for twenty-five years, is professor of Family Medicine and Social Work at the University of Utah. He is former psychological director of Weight Watchers, and author of a number of books, including Act Thin, Stay Thin and Helping Couples Change. Barbara Jacobson has a masters degree in counseling from Boston University, and is now a doctoral candidate in counseling psychology at the University of Utah. She has been a practicing psychotherapist for ten years. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…

Description de la boutique

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.…
