Australia as the Antipodal Utopia : European Imaginations From Antiquity to the Nineteenth Century (9781785271397)

Gambar
Australia has a fascinating history of visions. As the antipode to Europe, the continent has provided a radically different and uniquely fertile ground for envisioning places, spaces and societies. 'The Antipodal Utopia' evaluates this complex intellectual history by mapping out how Western visions of Australia evolved from antiquity to the modern period, with particular focus on the long nineteenth century. The book is underpinned by the provocative argument that due to its unique 'antipodality' (its antipodal relationship with Europe), Australia is imagined as a particular form of utopia - but since one person's utopia is, more often than not, another's dystopia, Australia's utopian quality is both complex and highly ambiguous. Drawing on the rich field of utopian studies, 'The Antipodal Utopia' provides an original and insightful study of Australia's place in the Western imagination and makes meaningful conceptual and analytical contributions

The Geometry of Wealth : How to shape a life of money and meaning (0857196715)

Gambar
How does money figure into a happy life? In The Geometry of Wealth, behavioral finance expert Brian Portnoy delivers an inspired answer, building on the critical distinction between being rich and being wealthy. While one is an unsatisfying treadmill, the other is the ability to underwrite a meaningful life, however one chooses to define that. Truly viewed, wealth is funded contentment. At the heart of this groundbreaking perspective, Portnoy takes readers on a journey toward wealth, informed by disciplines ranging from ancient history to modern neuroscience. He contends that tackling the big questions about a joyful life and tending to financial decisions are complementary, not separate, tasks. These big questions include: - How is the human brain wired for two distinct experiences of happiness? And why can money "buy" one but not the other? - What are the touchstones of a meaningful life, and are they affordable? - Why is market savvy among the least important sources of

Stochastic Integral Equations and Rainfall-Runoff Models (9783540510864)

Gambar
The uncertainty in rainfall-runoff modeling predictions has become a topic of recent key interest. In this book, the uncertainty problem is approached by use of stochastic integral equations. Various aspects of the rainfall-runoff modeling process are scrutinized by use of probabilistic models, such that when combined, a stochastic integral equation results. Uncertainty in single even runoff estimates, as well as return frequency event outcomes are analyzed. Use of example problems demonstrate the application of stochastic integral equations in addition to explaining the underlying concepts. Computer program source code is also provided which can be used to solve both theoretical and real-world problems. The generous supply of chapter problems enables the book to be used as an applied textbook in stochastic integrals. Product details Format

Der Kain-Komplex : Neue Wege Systemischer Familientherapie (9783778790359)

Gambar
Durch Rückführungen von Patienten in die Zeit embryonaler Entwicklung erforschte der Systemtherapeut Dr. Norbert J. Mayer eine von der Psychologie völlig vernachlässigte Dimension menschlicher Entwicklung: die unbewußten Prägungen durch Erfahrungen im Mutterleib. Seine brisanten Erkenntnisse werden bestätigt durch neueste Erkenntnisse der Gynäkologie: Seitdem eine immer größere Zahl von Schwangeren routinemäßig mit Ultraschall untersucht wird, mehren sich die Berichte vom "verschwundenen Zwilling". Weit mehr Menschen als bisher angenommen hatten Geschwister im Mutterleib, die jedoch in den ersten Schwangerschaftsmonaten starben, ohne daß die Welt davon erfuhr. Nicht selten verschweigen Gynäkologen diese Tatsachen den betroffenen Frauen. Die überlebenden Kinder leiden unter einer tiefen Verstrickung in unbewußter Schuld, die im biblischen Mythos von Kain und Abel ihren archetypischen Ausdruck gefunden hat. Solange die Betroffenen sich nicht vom Kain-Komplex befreien, müssen s

Selected Poems (9781904634119)

Gambar
In this welcome centenary edition of C. Day Lewis' poems, Jill Balcon has substantially extended her husband's own Penguin selections of 1951 and 1969, including not only his last collection "The Whispering Roots" (1970), but also vers d'occasion written when he was Poet Laureate and a number of the Posthumous Poems. This broad retrospective allows the reader a proper view of the technical variety and range of Day Lewis' work, from the pastoral lyrics of his youth, inspired by Hardy and Yeats, through the political verse of the 1930s, to the reflective and more personal poems of his later years. Day Lewis was fond of quoting Robert Frost's dictum that 'a poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom'. This could equally well describe his own development as a writer: idealistic, sincere and psychologically acute, he bears witness in his poetry to a lifelong commitment to serving literature and its makers.

Derek Bailey and the Story of Free Improvisation (9781844670031)

Gambar
Derek Bailey was at the top of his profession as a dance-band and record-session guitarist when, in the early 1960s, he began playing an uncompromisingly abstract music. As the Joseph Holbrooke Trio, with bassist Gavin Bryars and drummer Tony Oxley, Bailey forged a musical syntax which has since operated as an international counter to the banality of commercialism. Refusing to be labeled a "jazz" guitarist, Bailey has collaborated with performance artists, electronic experimentalists, classical musicians, Zen dancers, tap dancers, rock stars, jazzers, poets, weirdos and an endless stream of fiercely individual musicians. Today his anti-idiom of "Free Improvisation" has become the lingua franca of the "avant" scene, with Pat Metheny, John Zorn, David Sylvian and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore amongst his admirers. Derek Bailey and the Story of Free Improvisation lifts the lid on an artistic ferment which has defied every known law of the music business.

Mark : The Humanity of Christ (9780718035020)

The Gospel of Mark, more than any other Gospel, gives us precious glimpses into Christ's humanity. Jesus amazes His followers-those in the past as well as His disciples today-as He teaches, heals, performs miracles, casts out demons, and raises the dead. Mark's account shows Christ using every opportunity, despite resentment and persecution from His enemies, to show God's awesome power. Through Mark's writings, we follow Jesus' pain, joy, and fervent dedication as He walks the earth, touches lives, and ultimately conquers sin and death through His crucifixion and resurrection. The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur. Product details

Tramp for the Lord (9780515089936)

Gambar
Continuing from her bestseller The Hiding Place, Corrie Ten Boom's inspirational life story proves that miracles do happen. In 1940, Corrie ten Boom was living with her father and sister above their watch shop in Haarlem when their country was invaded. Armed with the gift of their faith and their belief in doing what was right, this devoutly Christian family provided sanctuary for persecuted Jews. Before long, the Nazis captured Corrie and her family and sent them to a concentration camp, where Corrie lost both her sister and father. But remarkably, throughout this turbulent time, from her near-destitute days in postwar New York to her heart-stopping adventures in Africa, Corrie sustained the faith in God that helped her become one of the most beloved evangelists of her time. "Although the threads of my life have often seemed knotted, I know, by faith, that on the other side of the embroidery there is a crown. As I have walked the world--a tramp for the Lord--I have learned a

The Unthinkable : Who survives when disaster strikes - and why (9780099525721)

Gambar
It was 8.46 a.m. on 9/11 when Elia Zedeno, who had worked in the World Trade Center for twenty-one years, heard a booming explosion and felt the building lurch violently to the south. She grabbed her desk, taking her feet off the floor, and screamed, 'What's happening?' How would you react to a disaster? Would you be paralysed with fear? Would you panic and lose control? Or might you suddenly discover hidden strengths in yourself? In The Unthinkable, award-winning journalist Amanda Ripley investigates some of the most harrowing catastrophes in history in order to piece together exactly how we react in a crisis. Through compelling interviews with survivors and experts she uncovers our instinctive reactions, shows how primitive parts of our brains take over when we're put under pressure, and demonstrates that we can, in fact, train ourselves to do better. We all have a 'disaster personality' that reveals itself at moments of crisis. In The Unthinkable you can beco
