A new book on intimacy and relationships from the bestselling author of Facing Codependence and Facing Love Addiction.
 Pia Mellody's previous books showed the fruits of her groundbreaking programs dealing with codependence at The Meadows Treatment Centre in Wickenburg, Arizona. In her first book in 10 years, Pia Mellody diagnoses causes of faulty relationships (many of them rooted in childhood) and provides tools such as boundary–work skills for readers to heal themselves, thus enabling them to achieve and maintain intimacy. 
 Another thread of the book is how the sustaining of healthy relationships can activate spiritual principles, in turn cultivating self–esteem. This ultimately frees readers to accept their own limitations and to be 'perfectly imperfect'. Pia Mellody's goal is to show people how to attain the intimacy they need and deserve.

Blue Dog: Limited Edition

George Rodrigue's paintings and prints of that intriguing canine known as Blue Dog have brought him international renown. Exhibited from Japan to Germany and across America, the golden-eyed Blue Dog is fast becoming a contemporary icon. George Rodrigue: A Cajun Artist is the first major monograph on the artist and surveys his career from student days in the early 1960s to the present. The book explores his artistic education, aesthetic principles, and Cajun legacy, and presents a broad survey of the various stages of his career, with concentration on his Cajun period and the development and fruition of the Blue Dog story. Born in New Iberia, Louisiana, in 1944, George Rodrigue is a scion of Cajun culture. Stricken with polio as a child and bedridden for months, he took up painting and drawing to pass the time. He showed himself to be a masterful draftsman. His talent was recognized immediately, and he was encouraged by his parents and teachers. From the University of Southwest Louisiana he went on to Los Angeles to continue his studies. He explored abstraction and his own brand of Pop Art, but wanting to find his own artistic vision he returned to Louisiana, to his roots, with the intention of expressing something of his Cajun background and the Cajun way of life - which he sensed was on the wane. He hoped that by rendering that twilight world and exile culture he could make his own unique contribution to art. He began by painting bayou landscapes and established the oak tree as a profound symbol of the Cajun world. From there he moved on to painting scenes of Cajun life, a sort of floating world of a nonetheless cohesive community. He captured its ghostlike essence before it was tainted by the ersatz culture that was fast encroaching upon it.
