Coast to Coast presents an extraordinary journey—via rail, steamboat, automobile, and even horseback— of a continent just beginning to discover itself. Traveling through the great cities, magnificent landscapes, and highways of a bygone America, the book is illustrated with vintage photographs, posters, travel brochures, and other charming ephemera. By the end of the 19th century, North America was fully settled, and the era’s robust economy led to the invention of affordable popular tourism. Even people of modest means could comfortably tour the continent, and a wealth of tourist attractions awaited: Niagara Falls, Crater Lake, the Grand Canyon and other sites in the brand-new national parks, New York’s Pennsylvania Station, San Francisco’s Embarcadero, the French Quarter in New Orleans, the Banff Springs Hotel, and many more. With five maps and nine color inserts of facsimile menus, guidebooks, and vintage postcards displaying everything from cog railways running up Mount Washington to ostrich farms outside Pasadena and Arkansas’s spectacular Hot Springs, this brilliantly researched book provides a tour of an America just beginning to flex its muscles as a world-class tourist attraction. Praise for Coast to Coast “Most Americans, it seems, are always willing – even eager – to pack a Samsonite bag or a Winnebago van and head off to see what lies down the road, across the mountains or on the other side of the continent. This restlessness isn’t a new trait, as author Anthony Shugaar and his colleagues demonstrate in this richly illustrated overview of travel in North America during the first few decades of the twentieth century. Like a cherished family photo album, Coast to Coast offers a fascinating and engaging record of where we went, how we got there, what we saw and, perhaps most important, what we learned along the way – not just about our country’s historic sites and scenic wonders but also about ourselves. It’s been a terrific trip, and this book brings it vividly to life.”--Richard Moe , President National Trust for Historic Preservation "Coast to Coast made me realize with despair that I was born a hundred years too late. I want to travel on those trains, camp in those tents, and spend weeks, if not months, in those hotels. I want to order the crab croquettes at the Hotel Ponce de Leon in 1880, and I want to cross Lake Michigan on the S. S. Christopher Columbus in 1893. Anthony Shugaar has assembled a North American scrapbook from a time when our continent was still big enough to get lost in. Reading it is like paging through a dream." David Owen, Author, The Walls Around Us, Sheetrock &amp; Shellac “For every image that colors in a vague conception of a classically American time and place, the book shows us something totally unexpected.” ~ Stephen Heyman, The Moment/NYT “Coast to Coast certainly gives a new meaning to the joyful pursuit of imaginary travel.” ~ Erica Johansson, Travel Blissful “Travels romantic past is lovingly evoked in Coast to Coast: Vintage Travel in North America.” ~ Hemispheres “Filled with engaging vintage photographs.” ~ Ann Tatko-Peterson, The Oakland Tribune “Sure to get conversations going with older relatives and spark amusement in younger ones.” ~ Helen Anders, Statesman.com

For all the dreamers and adventurers: we offer you a voyage in literature and images! 150 years of photographs, punctuated with quotations from the most poetic of travel writers, capture landscapes of fragile beauty-landscapes that, more and more, are disappearing. The nostalgic images include enticing posters that beckon voyagers to pack their bags and go; pictures of the interiors of lush trains and posh hotels; views of bridges, buildings, landmarks, waterways, and streets now irretrievably changed and modernized. There's even a glimpse of old fashioned postcards and restaurant menus, while a train timetable from the not-too-distant past is bound in so you can imagine choosing your hour of departure and stepping on board. Where will you go? Tour Europe on the ultra-luxurious Orient Express. Go to the near East, and from Bengal to Java. See the Land of the Rising Sun, and journey to the New World. It's a world tour and time travel in one!

The different models of personality disorders and the forms of the addictive disorders are presented, both disorders are assigned to each other and the therapy indication and possibilities of case-related psychotherapy are developed and discussed for this dual diagnosis. German description: Individuelle Personlichkeitseigenschaften sind an der Entwicklung einer Suchtstorung beteiligt. Gefahrdet sind besonders Personen mit Selbstwertproblemen und Schwierigkeiten in der Emotionsregulation. Probleme in diesen Bereichen gehen haufig mit einer Personlichkeitsstorung einher. Die Diagnose einer Komorbiditat von Personlichkeitsstorung und einer Suchterkrankung hat Auswirkungen auf die Therapie. Dieses Buch stellt verschiedene Modelle der Personlichkeitsstorungen und die Auspragungen der Suchterkrankungen vor und ordnet beide Storungsbilder einander zu.

Das Buch vermittelt die theoretischen Grundlagen des Mentalisierens. Die wesentlichen diagnostischen und therapeutischen Elemente werden erlautert, bevor auf storungsspezifische Anwendungsbereiche und Wirksamkeitsnachweise eingegangen wird.

Narzisstische Phanomene erregen seit langer Zeit groaes wissenschaftliches und gesellschaftliches Interesse. Narzissmus gilt manchen Autoren als Modeerscheinung, anderen als zunehmende Komorbiditat oder als grundlegendes Phanomen eines gesellschaftlichen Megatrends. In diesem Buch wird der Narzissmus von seinen normalen Ausdrucksformen bis hin zu den schweren narzisstischen Storungen nachgezeichnet. Dabei wird auf den beachtlichen Wandel fokussiert, dem der Narzissmus unterworfen war und ist. Dieser Wandel meint einerseits die Veranderung der klinischen Diagnostik und Klassifikation von ihren ersten theoretischen Beschreibungen bis hin zu den aktuellen empirischen Forschungsbefunden. Er betrifft andererseits auch die narzisstischen Phanomene in der Gesellschaft sowie die Veranderung der Interventionen und Therapien. Auffallend ist, dass Narzissmus uberwiegend als haufiges Phanomen bei Mannern im Alter zwischen 20 und 50 Jahren konzipiert ist. Dieses Buch hingegen erweitert die Perspektive um wenig diskutierte Aspekte wie die individuelle Entwicklung uber die Lebensspanne, Gender- sowie transkulturelle Aspekte und geht auf positive wie negative Seiten des Narzissmus ein. Das grundlegende und praxisorientierte Werk bildet damit das breite Spektrum narzisstischer Phanomene und Storungsbilder sowohl differenzierter als auch umfassender ab.
