Book Synopsis Naked at the Helm by : Suzanne Spector
Download or read book Naked at the Helm written by Suzanne Spector and published by . This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age thirty-nine, Suzanne Spector found herself looking at what conventional 1950s thinking had brought her. Yes, she was a wife, mother of three, and successful school director. But she was also neglected in a sexless marriage, and feeling and as if the passion and juice of life had passed her by. She began with two questions: Who am I, really? and Is it too late ? After divorcing her husband, Suzanne set out to discover who she was as an independent woman with curiosity, questions, and lust for life. Tracing more than four decades of self-discovery and intellectual, spiritual, and creative exploration, Naked at The Helm is Spector's story of becoming the captain of her own ship in midlife. Her adventurous journey led her from a nude beach on Ibiza at forty-one to a Siberian banya at fifty-five to a hot love affair at eighty. Her intellectual quest, meanwhile, led to a second career as director of a world-renowned psychology center, while deep friendships with women, including her daughters, sustained and nourished her through decades of global travel. These probably would not be the tales your mother or grandmother would tell about her life, but this eighty-six-year old's ebullient memoir of the second half of her life will move you to weave some rich new yarns into the tapestry of your own story. And no, it's not too late.

Book Synopsis Illustrating the Phaenomena by : Elly Dekker
Download or read book Illustrating the Phaenomena written by Elly Dekker and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of the moving sphere as a model for understanding the celestial phenomena caused a great breakthrough in scientific thinking about the structure of the world. It provided the momentum for making celestial globes and mapping the stars. Celestial globes were produced first by Greek astronomers, and soon became greatly appreciated in antiquity as decorative objects (3 antique globes). The design and construction of the globe varied greatly as it passed through the Arabic (10 scientific globes made before 1500) and Medieval European cultures (3 scientific globes made before 1500). It was the starting-point for the design of many maps in antiquity and later in the Middle Ages (33) serving to illustrate books such as Aratus's Phaenomena. In the early fifteenth century scientific celestial maps (5) were constructed in their own right, independent of globes. In this book all extant celestial maps and globes made before 1500 are described and analysed in detail. This prestigious study will appeal to academic historians of science and astronomy, and art historians alike.

But these murders are different from before, not simply random but the work of a deliberate mind probing for answers to a sinister question. It is up to Krona Hirvath and her fellow Regulators to enter the mind of madness to stop this insatiable killer while facing the terrible truths left in his wake.

Book Synopsis The Spirit of the Vikings by : Anonymous
Download or read book The Spirit of the Vikings written by Anonymous and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 3108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the pages of 'The Spirit of the Vikings' lies a comprehensive compilation of Norse literary works, providing a profound insight into the formidable and enigmatic world of Viking culture. This anthology brings together an array of epic narratives, including the sagas of kings and heroes, tales of voyages, familial conflicts, migrations, and the feats that define the ancient Nordic tapestry. Interwoven into these narratives are the Elder and Younger Eddas, presenting an invaluable perspective on the Norse mythological canon and elevating the reader's understanding of texts that are integral to the historical and literary context of the Viking Age. The inclusion of Norse ballads and mythology further illuminates the cultural ethos and spiritual beliefs that powered the Vikings' lives and afterlives, capturing the raw essence of a people steadfast in their convictions and honor. In an enigmatic decision befitting the lore it contains, the author of 'The Spirit of the Vikings' has chosen anonymity, yet the work speaks volumes of a keen editor with a profound understanding of Norse antiquity. The amalgamation of the sagas and Eddas suggests a dedication to preserving collective memory and a deep respect for the storytelling tradition that has kept these tales alive through the ages. The author may have deliberately faded into obscurity to highlight the collective voice of the Norse people, ensuring that the focus remains squarely on the content rather than the compiler, an act that mirrors the Norse veneration for their shared heritage and lore over individual celebrity. 'The Spirit of the Vikings' is an indispensable literary odyssey for enthusiasts of epic literature, historians of medieval Scandinavia, or anyone fascinated by the fabled Viking era. It is not merely an anthology but a bridge across time, connecting modern-day readers with the ancient sagas and myths that shaped a civilization steeped in bravery, exploration, and spiritual depth. This tome is a treasure for those seeking to imbue their intellect with the profound narratives that are as much a part of the Northern landscape as the fjords and the midnight sun. Join the odyssey, embrace the ethos, and allow the spirit of the Vikings to resonate through the corridors of time.
