I Choose the Life I Want to Live Book A: Theory Book B: Practice
Eugenia Karyoti – Georges Philips Aside biological predisposition, our early childhood experiences and the interaction with important persons at that age, play the most important role in molding of our personality. Reminisces, bad or good, blurred or vivid, are the “fingerprint” of the past in the ID card of our present reality. Convictions constitute the backbone of these books. From the beginning, reader ascertains that convictions play a catalytic role in our evolution. GOLD COUNSELLING is a new pioneering psychotherapeutic method of tracking and treating “traumatic” experiences. It is a practical way to pin-down and reevaluate stored convictions.

The Blurred Mirror of Myself Self-respect and Emotional Empowerment
Efstratios Papanis
subject psychology cookery children’s books fiction politics & current affairs biography, autobiography & memoir theatre & drama environment social sciences history general archaeology
Many people feel uncomfortable when asked to express real emotions, to state their opinion, to claim, to compete. Even when their rights are being violated they prefer to be silent, indifferent and passive. They guard their ego in a peculiar way, that although deters confrontation, however, internalizes energy that at some point explodes as neurosis, anxiety, depression. What are the new ways and expressions that we must use to assert, how can we manage fear for rejection and marginalization, how do we feel when retreating, what is the role of feeling guilt and of low self-respect? There is a difference between assertion and aggressiveness. Screaming, strong tone of voice, threats and blackmailing have no place in our new selves.

Constantina Discovers the Magic Equilibrium Bottles
Effie Vatanidou
Marielen Theoharis When Konstantina is alone in her childhood room, the sword reveals its magical powers by speaking in a human voice. Serendipity is concealed behind the sword, the “mentor” angel who will in turn appear and reveal to Konstantina, the plot to murder her parents that Konstantina cannot avert, despite all her efforts. And in this way she receives her first lesson: You cannot avoid destiny. After initiating her in the divine Afra-Soma colour-system, Serendipity then prepared her for a long journey.

Eventually, she finds deep love as a reward for her struggles. Grateful, “Helal Olsun - Meant to be” Costanto will cry, the same words as the expelled Greek patriots had uttered when leaving Anatolia, deep in Asia Minor, having given away their land to those who came and leased their livelihoods. “Helal Olsun-Meant to be, my new alien life!” Costanto exclaimed. “You came and pressed your heavy weight on the part of my youth that was left stranded, back in the village of Pyrgos, close to Constantinople once upon a time …” Greek Edition: ISBN: 978-618-80392-1-6

non-fiction Ferryman’s Gorge A Remarkable True Story of Human Struggle, Survival and Loss, in one of the Worst River Disasters Recorded Ever
International Political Theory
Philippos Frangoulis
This book is an attempt to demonstrate the conceptual compatibility of realist hypotheses with the contemporary developments. This is realized within the discourse of a dialogue with epistemological and ontological “doubtings” of the realist theory and thought, and against the normative, post-modern arguments that could not have been able to shake the validity, the endurance and charm of the Realist Discourse.

A sudden flood following a storm… The writer, one of the survivors, who battled with the wild waters for almost 10 hours and dramatically saved one more life, unfolds through a personal description his unique experience of life and death, a revealing story that must not be forgotten. A story of perseverance. He writes for the power of human struggle, but also for the need to redefine the true and meaningful elements of life that matter the most. Yet, he also writes, about the sorrow of human loss that marked forever the souls of all the participants. Greek Edition: ISBN: 978-960-99896-9-5

The Legacy of Ancient Greek Tragedy to European Culture Sir Basil Markesinis
Karl Popper Falsification, Historicism and Open Society Could epistemology be the fundamental project for a political philosophy? Karl Poppers’ epistemology is definitely the best argument to support this sui generis working hypothesis. But what is the special feature of this Popperian epistemology, which makes it the model of a great liberal political theory? The answer is “the cognitive modesty”. This book shows in a vivid way how Karl Popper through the ancient cosmological and anthropological thinking founded the critical rationalism as a standard of open democratic society.

This book offers an unusual discussion of ancient Greek tragedy and the influence it exerted on the development of European drama, art, and music during subsequent centuries up to our times. The texts are set in their wider social context while the characters of the ancient plays are subjected to a psychoanalytical examination to reveal the depths of understanding attained by the 5th century BC playwrights of human beings, their relationships with one another, and their struggles to subject their emotions to reason. The author has interspersed in his narrative philosophical reflections and personal assessments of the writers, plays, characters, and works of art discussed in this book, all based on his long peripatetic career as a teacher, lawyer, geopolitical advisor, amateur biographer and artist. Much effort was also made to reveal through a careful selection of original material the beauty and conciseness of the classic texts which, in their preference for understatement, resemble far more the educated English written style than the exaggerated display of emotions found in the Mediterranean world. The text is accompanied by twenty-four coloured illustrations mainly depicting scenes from the plays discussed in this book. Greek Edition: ISBN: 978-960-08-0635-9

Karl Marx
Research in Theatre
Alienation, Exploitation and Fetishism of Commodity
Anna Mavroleon
Methodological Issues
The end of the Cold War marked Marx’s liberation from the Stalinist specters. The identification of Marx’s thought with Stalinism and its totalitarian practices was one of the greatest twentieth-century forgeries. Marx was a par excellence Promethean thinker. Drawing on the anthropological concept of alienation, Marx constitutes a brilliant field of analysis of Victorian capitalism, where human exploitation is perceived as fetishism of commodity. This book examines Marx’s thought as an esthetics of alienation, to the extent that Marx used the World Literature as source of political inspiration and mainly because he considered his work as an Art piece.

The book intends to approach particular methodological issues that concern the inquiry into theatrical archives containing the history of the Greek theatre from the 19th century to the present. It aims at elaborating on crucial issues and problematics that the researcher of theatre studies might find useful and suggest ways of thinking regarding methodological queries. It also attaches supplementary pictures of archives that amplify the whole problematics. It describes the “research milieu” in which the studies that construct the theatrical research are formed and structured. Greek Edition: ISBN: 978-960-08-0514-7

The European Union and the Environment
Apostolos Vlyssides* Elli Maria Barampouti - Sofia Mai
Anatomy of a Common European Policy
Environment protection is nowadays a first priority for sustainable development. Emissions from industries vary greatly both quantitatively and qualitatively and thus pollution prevention is a multi-parameter problem and needs a systematic approach. The “Industrial Pollution” book examines various industrial sectors describing succinctly their production processes, water and energy consumptions, air, wastewater and solid emissions and last but not least established antipollution techniques. A concise, pictorial and visual summary of the key components is presented in order to give readers an immediate understanding of each industry. This book has been developed with the intention of providing an updated primary reference for students in environmental sciences, environmental managers working in industry, environmental engineering consultants and government agency employees concerned with wastes from industries.
The term “environment” has not yet received internationally the necessary conceptual processing and has not been determined accurately by any of the major international conferences since today. The two major categories of the environment, which could be highlighted and derive from that innovative, scientific study, referred to those in the natural and human environment, which also determine, the parallel relationship between the development of international environmental policy and the institutional strategy pursued so far, by both the organized International Community and the European Union. From the overall approach of these two initiatives it is discerned that there is a strong interaction developed between them, as well as a complementarity that emerges through the proposed institutional measures to address the general problem, mainly under the assessment hat “pollution knows no borders” and therefore concerns the whole of humanity.

Sociology of Criminal Law and the Institutions of Crime Control Social Systems Theories
Effi Lambropoulou
Vassilis Maglaras This book has a difficult but very clear intention. To merge three different theories of social systems to a narrative continuity. The theories of Parsons, Luhmann and Habermas utilize all the methodological tradition of functionalism and constitute altogether a new epistemological tradition that is characterized by the understanding and interpretation of social phenomena under the methodological form of a systemic theory.

While Criminology should be concentrating its theoretical development and research on those processes that transform acts, events and social conflicts into criminal cases and facts, as well as the ethical, legal and daily views regarding good versus evil, order versus disorder, and conventional versus deviant behaviour, it has confined itself for many decades to constantly seeking reasons for evil, disorder, deviance and crime. The integration of criminal law into its research objectives has helped Criminology to disengage itself from focusing on “personal and social deficits” and obtain a modern dynamic with studies about law making, law implementation, access to justice etc., thus revitalising its overlooked third part, the sociology of criminal law.

The book dismisses post-structural ethical views that tend to confine morality into a subjective ethical stance toward the “familiar other”. On the contrary, the study claims that nowadays there is a need for the development of a new “normative morality” that takes into consideration the “generalized other”. Such a broadening of morality can only be realized with the help of institutions capable of stimulating universal moral ideas. Greek Edition: ISBN: 978-960-08-0535-2

Introduction to the Social Welfare States Comparative Analyses and Practical Philosophy
Dimitris Kioukias Reading the book we may come to think that a protean spirit is there, perhaps necessary if we are to rethink and return to fundamentals (a trend not unknown in international scholarly circles). For instance, one may come to realise that a social state is The State in one of its multiple manifestations yet in our case a quite ambitious one, as it is often more tempted into “making” the citizen, rather than just overlooking the (self) writing of his biography. Yet in this it is bound to come across with some other mechanisms of creation such as the Market and History, the latter sometimes appearing itself as tradition.

Travelling Images of the World
Dionysia Alexiadi
The Byzantine Navy Sarantos I. Kargakos The Byzantine navy remains largely a terra incognita for the general public. Aim of this book is not just to illustrate a largely unknown aspect of the multifold Byzantine history, but mainly to stress this shockingly simple thing: the Byzantine Empire owes its rise and peak to a number of factors – certainly to the navy too. However, the gradual decline, the first fall (1204) and mainly the second, known as «Alossis» (1453), have been caused exclusively by the neglect and the near dissolution of the Byzantine navy.

Dionysia Alexiadi is a revelation in the world of photography. It is not only her technique that impresses the spectator. It is her aesthetic perception and the sensitivity of her soul; the inner harmony which is depicted in the treasures of her work. The first section of the book depicts the mountainous regions. (My path through the mountains and the lakes) It also illustrates scenes from the every day life of people living in these areas. In the second section the wild life (animals and birds) dominates including color contrasts of spring and autumn. In the third section the sea is the main protagonist, with its various shades of colors, (from aqua blue to deep green), the peculiar shapes of the rocks, the golden sandy beaches and shores full of seabirds. The last section focuses on the cities and everyday life in the streets, portraits and colors from cozy neighborhoods. I this way, through the display of colors and contrasts, a multicolored an apparently fragment world is revealed in front of our eyes, which of course will never cease to be one and unified!

Libya Searching for the Lost Silphion in Greek Cyrene
Power Yoga
Sarantos I. Kargakos
Helen Petroulaki Ivic
We traveled to Libya searching for an other Greece, a Greece full of monuments and cultural treasures. To find out, how Greece became a cultural “superpower” and witness the traces of its glory in countries such as Libya. Sadly the Greek government cannot comprehend the significance of our cultural heritage and doesn’t promote it abroad, for all to see. The future battles of the mankind won’t be military or economic, they are most likely to be cultural. Our past can teach us how to be ready and prepared for those battles.

Financial Analysis of Professional Soccer in Europe and Greece Panagiotis Alexopoulos Xristos Koutroumanidis
After the “End” of History Kyriakos D. Kentrotis (ed.) The fall of both the Berlin Wall and all its symbolisms keeps deafeningly reaching the ears of the world. Its narration was in need of an appropriate end praising in the best possible way the euphoria of the victors’ moments. The world of the new post-Cold War empire deceives itself with the end of History, while at the same time the War persists both conventionally and otherwise on the new frontlines of the new History, now listening to narratives on global politics and biopolitics.

Football is arguably the most popular sport on the planet since decades, passing through various organizational and morphological stages. Today clubs have turned into major football companies while in many cases are transformed to economic giants. According to Forbes magazine, the value of the first 20 clubs is estimated at $ 12.8 billion and their turnover touches $ 5.2 billion. So in this context as market interest increased for the sports industry, the economics of sports business and mainly football are gradually developed as a recent and emerging field of study. Indeed the financial issues concerning football have gained a strong scientific and technical interest since unfortunately the management of football clubs across Europe is not characterized by rationality and consistency.

Plato’s Atlantis …there where it always was..!
George Sarantitis
Q. Who wrote Atlantis? A. Plato. The arch rationalist ancient Greek philosopher-scientist acclaimed as one of the greatest minds ever. Q. Would such a one write pure fiction? A. Highly unlikely. Q. So, Plato described an actual place?! A. Yes. … Suspecting truths in Greek myths, the Author devised a methodology to ascertain them. He enjoys reading the Ancient Greeks in their language, especially the ancient philosopher-scientists and Plato in particular. A scientist in his own right, the Author decided to apply his methodology to Plato’s recount of Atlantis, on the premise that one such as he would not write purely creatively. Moreover, Plato gives copious mathematical-geometrical data in Atlantis, not in keeping with a fantastical tale. So, the Author conducted a meticulous collaborative re-translation of Plato’s writings into Current Greek. Amongst other hitherto unrevealed information, there were specific geographical directions. Curious, he transferred them to the world map (GoogleEarth). To his astonishment, he was sent to a place that matches Plato’s descriptions of Atlantis in shape, dimensions and orientation; on land! A landform previously unknown to him or to anyone prior to the 60’s! Initially incredulous, the Author began to cross-reference other ancient texts (Greek and otherwise). He applied data from astronomy to palaeontology in confirmation of the finding. After 8 years of thorough research, several visits for onsite measurements and poorer moneywise, the Author can confidently claim to have walked the site of Plato’s Atlantis and explain its demise in geophysical and hydrological terms. Beyond all reasonable doubt and wildest coincidence, the place on which Plato based his recount of Atlantis has been located! In his uniquely circuitous way, the remarkable ancient philosopher-scientist had given the information but nobody, to date, had made a conceptual translation of his writings and perseveringly analysed them with the wherewithal that only today’s digital technology and scientific knowledge allows. Not fiction nor conjecture but 100% scientifically researched confirmation of an incredible, long time coming, discovery. Incredible, because it was neither expected nor anticipated. Scientific findings by unrelated third parties, invariably lend support. This 400+ page book is for scholars, scientists, students and Atlantis buffs, but written comprehensibly for also the casual reader. Nothing less than the rewriting of the history of civilization, this book will spawn many more, since it reveals information that sheds light on several historical incongruities, hitherto unexplained. Extracts from the book have been presented at relevant international scientific meetings to wide acclaim. A substantial amount of the proceeds will go towards funding excavations. The Author is willing to make presentations to interested parties who might understandably be dubious, seeing that ignorance, mistranslation and gross assumption have led to the age-long abuse of this subject, regrettably relegating it to the sphere of pseudoscience and fantasy; and this, in disregard of its originator, Plato… Translators’ note: An accolade to faithful translation. Plato neither refers to an Ocean nor to Atlantis sinking (!), to mention but two major translation errors that survived the centuries. After two years of comparably fastidious translation into English, we, for what it’s worth, are convinced. It is apt and fitting, not to say logical, that Atlantis should be found by a Greek. Besides his nationality, the Author is an exponent of rationalism and scientism. He is currently applying his methodology to Homer with astounding results -after all, Troy was considered mythical before being found- but that is research under progress and the makings of another book.
