A bosszú csókja

Freya de Moray-ről igazán sok minden elmondható: a Bölcs Nők titkos társaságának tagja, aki egy botrányba keveredett nemesi család leszármazottjaként évek óta álnéven, társalkodónőként dolgozik a londoni arisztokráciának. A megbocsátás azonban nem tartozik az erényei közé. Így amikor Harlowe hercege, az a férfi, aki tönkretette a bátyja életét, ami egyben a családja bukásához is vezetett, felbukkan a vidéki mulatságon, azt teszi, amit minden Bölcs Nő tenne a helyében: elkezdi tervezgetni a bosszúját. Christopher Renshaw-t, Harlowe hercegét zsarolják. Hogy a titkait megőrizze, a férfi beleegyezik, hogy részt vegyen egy házi mulatságon, ahol egyszer s mindenkorra le szeretne számolni a múltja árnyaival. Amikor azonban a vidéki társaság tagjai között felismeri Freyát, rájön, hogy a bajai csak ezután kezdődnek. Freya ugyanis mindent tud azokról a bűneiről, amelyeket a legszívesebben elfelejtene. A nő számára fenyegető veszély, de érzéki csábításának a herceg mégsem tud ellenállni. Amikor kiderül, hogy Freya komoly veszélyben van, a férfi mindent kockára tesz, hogy megóvja őt.

Útmutató szüléshez

Ina May Gaskin, a világ legismertebb hivatásos bábája a hetvenes évek elején alapította meg férjével és kétszázötven társával a modern bábaság bölcsőjének számító legendás, Tennessee állambeli Farmot. A ma is nagyrészt önellátó gazdálkodást folytató közösséget bábaközpontja tette világhírűvé, ahová ma már külföldről is érkeznek nők, hogy gyermeküket művi beavatkozás nélkül, támogató környezetben hozzák világra. A könyv első részében az anyák által elmesélt szüléstörténeteket a szerző kommentárjai követik, amelyek laikusok és szakemberek számára is nélkülözhetetlen gyakorlati útmutatóvá és lebilincselő olvasmánnyá teszik a kötetet. Gaskin nézeteinek kiindulópontja az, hogy a nők testi és lelki képességei tökéletesen alkalmassá teszik őket a természetes szülésre, ezért támogatni kell őket abban, hogy e képességükkel tudatos módon éljenek. Józan, elfogultságmentes hangja, tudományos érvei hitelesítik az orvosi körökben is elismert szerzőt, ugyanúgy, ahogyan nagy felkészültsége mögött meghúzódó szakmai szerénysége is: mindig a szülő nőt tekinti a legfontosabbnak. Könyvünket a legutóbbi, 2009-es megjelenéshez képest friss adatokkal, kiegészítésekkel bővítettük, a legújabb amerikai kiadás alapján.

The Dazzle of the Digital

The Dazzle of the Digital is written in the context of digital technology's inextricable link with progress and modernity in India, with the COVID pandemic in the backdrop. Digital technology such as smartphones and the internet exemplify the popular ideal of a modernity where the proliferation of data and information seamlessly translates into knowledge and value. The authors attempt to wrestle with this impulsive conflation of the digital with the modern, and argue that the former can sometimes retard progress rather than foster it. They provide examples from various spheres - ranging from public service delivery to private markets - to unpack the pitfalls of a blinkered view on modernity. The book presents an objective take on the potential of digital technology, written with the hope that it will prompt greater societal reflection on technology as a lever for

Italian Political Cinema: Figures of the Long 68 Resmini Mauro

An exploration of how film has made legible the Italian long '68 as a moment of crisis and transitionTraditionally, the definition of political cinema assumes a relationship between cinema and politics. In contrast to this view, author Mauro Resmini sees this relationship as an impasse. To illustrate this theory, Resmini turns to Italian cinema to explore how films have reinvented the link between popular art and radical politics in Italy from 1968 to the early 1980s, a period of intense political and cultural struggles also known as the long '68.Italian Political Cinema conjures a multifaceted, complex portrayal of Italian society. Centered on emblematic figures in Italian cinema, it maps the currents of antagonism and repression that defined this period in the country's history. Resmini explores how film imagined the possibilities, obstacles, and

Poems from the Sikh Sacred Tradition Nanak Guru

An exquisite new translation of Guru Nanak's verses, illuminating the sacred tenets cherished by millions of Sikhs worldwide.Guru Nanak (1469-1539), a native of Panjab, founded the Sikh religion. His vast corpus of nearly a thousand hymns forms the core of the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikhs' sacred book of ethics, philosophy, and theology. The scripture was expanded and enriched by his nine successors, and Sikhs continue to revere it today as the embodiment of their tradition.This beautiful new translation by Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh, a foremost authority on Sikhism, offers a selection of spiritual lyrics composed by Guru Nanak. Here the reader will find the range and depth of his pluralistic vision of the singular divine and discover his central values of equality, inclusivity, and civic action--values that continue to shape the lives of Sikhs

Literature and Politics: Selected Writings Musil Robert

Literature and Politics presents Robert Musil's writings on the relationship between literature and politics from World War I through World War II and elucidates his personal struggle to bear witness during the Age of Totalitarianism. In essays, addresses, aphorisms, and unpublished notes on contemporary events, Musil charts the increasing dangers to artists and ethical thinkers of extreme ideological conscription, the subtle and not so subtle changes in public and political discourse, the epoch-making events and dire existential threats of his times. Musil acts as a cultural seismographer, interrogating causes and symptoms in himself and his world, as he moves between Nazi Germany and pre- and post-Anschlu Austria, ultimately escaping to Switzerland where he and his Jewish wife, Martha, lived in exile until his death in 1942. The writings question concepts of race,

Dating Potential Selah

Sometimes we date the potential of a person, and overlook the reality of who they are. That's why I call this book "Dating Potential". We enter into and often remain in relationships hoping the other person will grow or change. That's where the mistake lies. We place the weight of our decision to be with them on hope. Hope that they will one day become the person we imagine they can be. I realized that imaginary person is typically who we actually enter into a relationship with. Meet "Potential".This book offers some realistic guidelines, though not exhaustive, of what to consider when you enter relationships prior to marriage. Reading this also affords each one of us to take an introspective look at ourselves to evaluate whether or not we are doing the very things we are expecting or desire in our future spouse. Are we energy in motion or are we

Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography Roosevelt Theodore

Theodore Roosevelt's writing has the same verve, panache, and energy as the life he lived. Perhaps no president in U.S. history--not even Jefferson--had so many opinions and intellectual interests, believed in so many causes, or worked so hard to translate his beliefs into action. A hard-headed idealist, an unabashed interventionist, a crusader on behalf of environmental preservation and against big business "trusts," he was also a writer of uncommon grace and passion with a gift for the memorable phrase.His autobiography, one of the two or three finest ever written by a U.S. president, abounds in exciting episodes of personal transformation and insights into the bitter politics of the day. Roosevelt was a sickly youth who steeled himself for a life of vigor, growing up surrounded by wealth in nineteenth-century Manhattan but vacationing in the West, where he rode

Ageing, Dementia and Time in Film: Temporal Performances Deng Maohui

Ageing, Dementia and Time in Film: Temporal Performances offers the first sustained analysis of films about ageing and dementia through a temporal framework. Analysing the aesthetics of films like A Moment to Remember (2004), Memories of Tomorrow (2006) and Happy End (2017), Deng provides new insights into our understanding of how ageing is temporally produced, presented, received and interrogated in and through cinema.Bringing together Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of difference and ideas on time, and building on scholars like Alia Al-Saji, Henri Bergson, Bliss Cua Lim, and David Martin-Jones, the book develops a conceptual framework of relational change - of temporal performances - and suggests that everyone and everything experiences time

Apocalypse on the Linoleum Akresh-Gonzales Josette

Apocalypse on the Linoleum grapples with big stuff - religious and cultural identity, climate change, motherhood, death, history - with an unflinching eye and a paradoxical, active hope. Gutsy, raw, and bold, the poems often use a narrative frame and speak through a Jewish lens to encounter emotional issues. From the intimate details of childbirth to assisted suicide to protestors losing blood to alternate names of God, this collection exposes our relationship to the earth, our place in the universe.

Storm Swimmer: Volume 30 Hilbert Ernest

In poems celebrating survival and renewal, Ernest Hilbert summons the ageless conflict between human affection and the passing of time, recognizing that all we love must eventually disappear. Tender poems of fatherhood weigh against unsettling explorations of natural dangers and intimations of bodily harm. From porn sets to seedy gun ranges and heavy metal tribute nights in crumbling theaters, Hilbert's eye roves over the desolation and beauty of contemporary America, all the while feeling the irresistible pull of water--what Melville called "the ungraspable phantom of life." His poems return again and again to rivers, lakes, and the sea, there to find "a universe that loves the dark," one that "bears you up as if you had no weight."

Mysl celého těla - Verny Dr. Thomas R.

Myseľ celého tela - Dr. Thomas R. VernyMyseľ celého tela dáva dohromady zdanlivo nesúvisiace objavy z odborov fyziológie, genetiky a kvantovej fyziky a prináša rastúce množstvo dôkazov o tom, že nielen nervové, ale aj telesné bunky uchovávajú pamäť, dodávajú informácie pri genetickom kódovaní a prispôsobujú sa zmenám v životnom prostredí – čo sú všetko javy prispievajúce k mysli a vedomiu. Ako Dr. Verny ukazuje, bunková pamäť nie je iba abstrakciou, ale riadne vedecky doloženým faktom, ktorý môže čoskoro premeniť celé naše chápanie pamäte.V knihe Myseľ celého tela sa medzinárodne uznávaný psychiater Dr. Thomas R. Verny pokúša našu predstavu o mozgu a mysli zmeniť. Brilantne zotriedil a predstavuje nové vedecké výskumy, ktoré ukazujú, že myseľ je spojená s každou časťou nášho tela, nielen s mozgom.Počet stránok: 320Rozmery: 148x210 mmVäzba: brožovanáISBN: 978-80-908763-1-6O AUTOROVIDr. Thomas R. Verny je klinickým psychiatrom, autorom štyridsiatich siedmich vedeckých prác a ôsmich kníh, medzi ktoré patrí The Secret Life of the Unborn Child (Tajomný život nenarodeného dieťaťa) , ktorá bola vydaná v dvadsaťsedem krajinách. V minulosti vyučoval na Harvardovej univerzite, Torontskej univerzite a ďalej na York University a St. Mary's University.Narodil sa v Bratislave a emigroval do Kanady v roku 1952, kde teraz žije so svojou ženou v Stratforde. Thomas je vedec, ktorý sa nebojí ísť proti prúdu prevládajúceho vedeckého diskurzu, je to vnútorne pravdivý a odvážny muž, navyše veľmi vľúdny a láskavý, a také vzory sú dnes potrebné. Thomas má tiež naozaj silný životný príbeh, keď z rodnej krajiny utekal s rodičmi ako dieťa hneď dvakrát. Raz kvôli nacistom a druhýkrát kvôli komunistickej diktatúre.

Eating beside Ourselves

Eating beside Ourselves examines eating as a site of transfer and transformation across bodies and selves. The contributors show that by turning organic substance into food, acts of eating create interconnected food webs organized by relative conditions of edibility through which eaters may in turn become eaten. In case studies ranging from nineteenth- and twentieth-century industrial animal husbandry in the United States, biodynamic winemaking in Aotearoa New Zealand, and reindeer herding in Arctic Norway to the creation of taste sensation in pet food and the entanglement of sugar and diabetes in the Caribbean, the contributors explore how food and eating create thresholds for human and nonhuman relations. These thresholds mediate different conditions and states of being: between living and dying, the edible and inedible, and the relationship between living organisms and their
