- 4 - - N O N F I C T I O N - Power and violence in adolescence Nikos Sideris Why are teenagers so captivated by power? Why are they fascinated by unlawful violence such as bullying? How could we dismantle this fatal dichotomy that both feeds and is fed by the enjoyment of evil? How could the admiration of superheroes and the chivalry they embody, which already exists in the hearts of children and teenagers, frame and transcend this dual temptation? How much do adults, educators, and parents utilize this valuable pedagogical potential? Nikos Sideris is a graduate of the Medical School of Athens and holds a PhD in Psychol- ogy from Panteion University. He pursued postgraduate studies in Paris, specializing in Psychiatry, Neuropsychology-Neurolinguistics, and History. Currently, he works as a psychi- atrist, psychoanalyst, and family therapist, and serves as the Scientific Director of the Institute of Mental Health and Personal Devel- opment “Galenos.” With an extensive teaching background, he is also the author of bestsell- ing books, including Children Don’t Need a Psychologist. They Need Parents! Dimitris Chassapis is an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics Education in the Department of Early Childhood Education at the University of Athens. He has authored numerous academic publications as well as the successful educational book series for children, “Learning Math Through Art”. Dimitris Chassapis Women in Math: hidden histories Despite ample historical evidence to the contrary, the bias that math is a male subject still persists today. To this day, we still lack com- prehensive accounts and research that redeems the lives and works of women in math. This book brings to light the stories of numerous female mathematicians from antiquity to modern day, drawing them out of the shadows of History, and presenting their personal journeys and contributions, allowing us to see the fuller, richer picture of math- ematics.
