Download or read book Myriad Musings written by E.E. Uchenna and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of twenty-seven poems that run through varying themes of loss through death and the enjoyment of life. It offers a brooding philosophical engagement with the reader in some pieces; while in others, it elevates the imagination and moves beyond a purely physical experience. This transcendental quality is intricately woven into most of the poems. There is a delightful use of metaphor in many instances, like in the depiction of a bleeding sun and a frequent animation of nature. One will find a lot of somberness and sadness in some of the poems, but it also tells a story of renewal and hope.
Download or read book Myriad Musings written by Rachna Singh and published by Frog in Well. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Myriad Musings' is a charming collection of reflections on varied hues of life. Rachna Singh has woven together different skeins of life in a thought-provoking compilation that amuses, inspires contemplation and at times elicits tears of sorrow. 'Motley Musings', the first section, is quirky and fun with its melange of unusual characters-the Rum Guzzlers, Sundari the runaway horse, the enchanting seductress in yellow and many others. 'Misty Musings' contemplates the inevitability of loss and paints touching vignettes of the plump and pretty Miss Alice, a traumatized Vasu crippled by the loss of a father, a dedicated violin teacher who has sacrificed his life at the altar of his Muse. 'Mangled Musings' is a tongue-in-cheek comment on the ills that have beset our society. 'Maidenly Musings' and 'My Trip Musings' are factual but fun to read.
Download or read book Myriad Musings written by Renu Suri and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Without poetry we are doomed to half lives.’ A society without poetry is a society without dreams. This book is a bouquet of fragrant flowers with varied hues for lovers of poetry to enjoy. It is an array of bewildering emotions through simple and lucid language resonating the common feelings of all at deeper levels. Each poem underlines a unique inner grain – an utterance with a message. Just like a spider spins a web, I write because I believe that words have magic and touch the heartstrings like none other. Most of the poems begin in delight and end in wisdom, unfolding fresh fragrance as petals. Emotional upsurges find place in few, provoked by some incidents in life. Ordinary and mundane emotions have been woven into poetry reflecting contemporary issues. General apathy of the ‘high and mighty’ towards the masses, the evil faces of the society and the role of destiny are the chosen themes. Some of the poems are rich in lyrical beauty and appealing to the aesthetic sense. Poetry has the power to cut through the crap accumulated in our busy lives and touches us in different ways. It helps us enjoy the joys of the childhood by recalling and experiencing the guileless time, evoking both tears and laughter. My aim is to awaken the slow dying hearts of people of this digital era, using my mental and spiritual adventures. I might have missed the precision or technique but my purpose is pure and truthful.

Book Synopsis A Companion to Enlightenment Historiography by :
Download or read book A Companion to Enlightenment Historiography written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Enlightenment Historiography provides a survey of the most important historians and historiographical debates in the long eighteenth century, examining these debates’ stylistic, philosophical and political significance. The chapters, many of which were specially commissioned for this volume, offer a mixture of accessible introduction and original interpretive argument; they will thus appeal both to the scholar of the period and the more general reader. Part I considers Gibbon, Hume, Robertson, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Herder and Vico. Part II explores wider themes of national and thematic context: English, Scottish, French and German Enlightenment historians are discussed, as are the concepts of historical progress, secularism, the origins of historicism and the deployments of Greek and Roman antiquity within 18th century historiography. Contributors are Robert Mankin, Simon Kow, Jeffrey Smitten, Rebecca Kingston, Síofra Pierse, Bertrand Binoche, Donald Phillip Verene, Ulrich Muhlack, David Allan, Noelle Gallagher, François-Emmanuël Boucher, Sandra Rudnick Luft, Sophie Bourgault, C. Akça Ataç, and Robert Sparling.
Book Synopsis Finite and Infinite Games by : James Carse
Download or read book Finite and Infinite Games written by James Carse and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are at least two kinds of games,” states James Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite.” Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything from how an actress portrays a role, to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil, to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory. But infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander. Carse has written a book rich in insight and aphorism. Already an international literary event, Finite and Infinite Games is certain to be argued about and celebrated for years to come. Reading it is the first step in learning to play the infinite game.

Book excerpt: Pain and healing are two sides of the same coin, co-existing in harmony. Healing is a long-drawn process. And it is only with time that a person can accept and be at peace with pain. During this process, there are times when one wants to give up, at wit’s end trying to be alive. It is at this very moment one realizes that self-love is the only thing that can fuel one's desire to live. And thus, one makes a conscious effort to “curate moments of sunshine” to endure and heal.

The story of the Mt Gox heist and Nostradamus like prophecies of bitcoin doom add a generous dollop of intrigue to the crypto story. The cryptocurrency regulatory-tax tales of countries like USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, China, India etc give the narrative an intellectual slant. The bitcoin saga ends on an introspective note. The blockchain technology has enormous power to change the world. Whether it will be a benevolent Titan or a Frankenstein monster, only time can tell.

Book Synopsis Excavating Nations by : J. Laurence Hare
Download or read book Excavating Nations written by J. Laurence Hare and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavating Nations traces the history of archaeology and museums in the contested German-Danish borderlands from the emergence of antiquarianism in the early nineteenth-century to German-Danish reconciliation after the Second World War. J. Laurence Hare reveals how the border regions of Schleswig-Holstein and Snderjylland were critical both to the emergence of professional prehistoric archaeology and to conceptions of German and Scandinavian origins. At the center of this process, Hare argues, was a cohort of amateur antiquarians and archaeologists who collaborated across the border to investigate the ancient past but were also complicit in its appropriation for nationalist ends. Excavating Nations follows the development of this cross-border network over four generations, through the unification of Germany and two world wars. Using correspondence and site reports from museum, university, and state archives across Germany and Denmark, Hare shows how these scholars negotiated their simultaneous involvement in nation-building projects and in a transnational academic community. --Provided by publisher.
Book Synopsis The Shakespeare Project and Ensuing Essays by : Ethan Lewis
Download or read book The Shakespeare Project and Ensuing Essays written by Ethan Lewis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty-plus years on a small Midwestern campus, Dr Lewis has directed The Shakespeare Project, a seminar scrutinizing four-six plays per semester with a cadre of accompanying sonnets. Master a method of reading the Bard through focus on a small set vis-à-vis scattershot survey, his syllabi promise, and one not only could, but would want to read Shakespeare – “not for an age, but for all time” (Ben Jonson ) – all one’s life. The Bard’s idiom, though complex, proves eminently comprehensible, as have observed such scholars as Kermode, Vendler, Bloom, Garber, Greenblatt, Nuttall, Booth, Eliot, Auden, and others. This book, the harvest of Lewis’ endeavor, consists of three parts: the seminar essay-syllabi; a collection of close readings of Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, Henry VIII, Timon, and The Sonnets; and a series of footnotes intended as mini-master essays on minutiae. The Project is grounded on the originary definition of scholarship as studying in school, and offers a revisionary reading of three “minor” characters in Shakespeare’s tragedies (Emilia, Albany, Siward), in the process of contending for a sensible coalescence of ‘old-fashioned’ character criticism with New Critical and Poststructural perspectives. The text also formulates criteria for responsible reading via triple vision – perceiving the work as at once reality, poem, and play – a method forwarded through addressing ethical matters in the works: faith in Hamlet; conscience in Henry VIII; stewardship in Timon of Athens. The Shakespeare Project models reinfusing Shakespeare as terrain for critical thinking that affects everyday life.
Download or read book Forensic Psychiatry written by Tom Mason and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-05 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international panel of experts from diverse specialties examine the idea of "evil" in a medical context, specifically a mental health setting, to consider how the concept can be usefully interpreted, and to elucidate its relationship to forensic psychiatry. The authors challenge the belief that the concept of "evil" plays no role in "scientific" psychiatry and is not helpful to our understanding of aberrant human thinking and behavior. Among the viewpoints up for debate are a consideration of organizations as evil structures, the "medicalization" of evil, destruction as a constructive choice, violence as a secular evil, talking about evil when it is not supposed to exist, and the influence of evil on forensic clinical practice. Among the highlights are a psychological exploration of the notion of "evil" and a variety of interesting research methods used to explore the nature of "evil."
