A Game of Thrones

George R. R. Martin

1996

"O verão pode durar décadas. O inverno, toda uma vida. E a guerra dos tronos começou. Como Guardião do Norte, lorde Eddard Stark não fica feliz quando o rei Robert o proclama a nova Mão do Rei. Sua honra o obriga a aceitar o cargo e deixar seu posto em Winterfell para rumar para a corte, onde os homens fazem o que lhes convém, não o que devem... e onde um inimigo morto é algo a ser admirado. Longe de casa e com a família dividida, Eddard se vê cada vez mais enredado nas intrigas mortais de Porto Real, sem saber que perigos ainda maiores espreitam a distância. Nas florestas ao norte de Winterfell, forças sobrenaturais se espalham por trás da Muralha que protege a região. E, nas Cidades Livres, o jovem Rei Dragão exilado na Rebelião de Robert planeja sua vingança e deseja recuperar sua herança de família: o Trono de Ferro de Westeros."--

Gabor Maté's *Scattered* explores Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) not as a simple neurological deficit, but as a complex response to environmental and psychological stressors, often rooted in early life experiences. Maté argues that societal pressures and emotional burdens contribute significantly to the development and manifestation of ADHD symptoms, reframing it as a survival mechanism in challenging circumstances. The book delves into the profound impact of early experiences and the environment on brain development, offering a compassionate and insightful perspective on understanding and managing ADHD.
