Book excerpt: Will you have a business-based marriage, a personality-based marriage, or a fantasy-based marriage? Marriage is an emotional business relationship between two people. They may look for what they wish they could be in one another (attraction of opposite types). In marriage, you experience the upward gush of your own infancy. There are many alternative classifiers of personality types, temperaments, styles, or neurological brain locations, and time and fun to try them all. Which one can help you find your soul mate? Which one can stand up to rigorous research and proof over many years? How many can be scientifically validated? This book discusses games soul mates play to survive and how it relates to good match/good fit/comfort and personality type.
Download or read book Women & Power written by Mary Beard and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated edition of the Sunday Times Bestseller Britain's best-known classicist Mary Beard, is also a committed and vocal feminist. With wry wit, she revisits the gender agenda and shows how history has treated powerful women. Her examples range from the classical world to the modern day, from Medusa and Athena to Theresa May and Hillary Clinton. Beard explores the cultural underpinnings of misogyny, considering the public voice of women, our cultural assumptions about women's relationship with power, and how powerful women resist being packaged into a male template. A year on since the advent of #metoo, Beard looks at how the discussions have moved on during this time, and how that intersects with issues of rape and consent, and the stories men tell themselves to support their actions. In trademark Beardian style, using examples ancient and modern, Beard argues, 'it's time for change - and now!' From the author of international bestseller SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome.
Book Synopsis Readers and Writers in Ovid's Heroides by : Efrossini Spentzou
Download or read book Readers and Writers in Ovid's Heroides written by Efrossini Spentzou and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2003-03-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study to reconstruct the experiences of the abandoned heroines of the Heroides, which have been largely ignored by past criticism. Dr Spentzou seeks ways to isolate, characterize, and release the female voice and experience within Ovid's male-authored text. Building on a wide range of ancient as well as modern images and reflections on gender and writing, the book attempts to map the relationship between gendered sensitivities and experience and generic expression and choices. Dr Spentzou uses the insight gained by the boom of intertextual studies in recent Latin scholarship to go a step further and address explicitly the ideologies of intertextual studies. This is a book about readers and reading, just as much as about women and gender, and it is also an in-depth study of the intricate and heated negotiations behind the interpretative act.

Book excerpt: Authors Shannon Hengen and Ashley Thomson have assembled a reference guide that covers all of the works written by the acclaimed Canadian author Margaret Atwood since 1988, including her novels Cat's Eye, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace, and the 2000 Booker Prize winner, The Blind Assassin. Rather than just including Atwood's books, this guide includes all of Atwood's works, including articles, short stories, letters, and individual poetry. Adaptations of Atwood's works are also included, as are some of her more public quotations. Secondary entries (i.e. interviews, scholarly resources, and reviews) are first sorted by type, and then arranged alphabetically by author, to allow greater ease of navigation. The individual chapters are organized chronologically, with each subdivided into seven categories: Atwood's Works, Adaptations, Quotations, Interviews, Scholarly Resources, Reviews of Atwood's Works, and Reviews of Adaptations of Atwood's Works. The book also includes a chapter entitled 'Atwood on the Web,' as well as extensive author and subject indexes. This new bibliography significantly enhances access to Atwood material, a feature that will be welcomed by university, public, and school librarians. Margaret Atwood: A Reference Guide 1988-2005 will appeal not only to Atwood scholars, but to students and fans of one of Canada's greatest writers.

Book Synopsis Kinaesthesia and Classical Antiquity 1750–1820 by : Helen Slaney
Download or read book Kinaesthesia and Classical Antiquity 1750–1820 written by Helen Slaney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that touch and movement played a significant role, long overlooked, in generating perceptions of ancient material culture in the late 18th century. At this time the reception of classical antiquity had been transformed. Interactions with material culture – ruins, sculpture, and artefacts – formed the core of this transformation. Some such interactions were proto-archaeological, such as the Dilettanti expeditions to Athens and Asa Minor; others were touristic, seen in the guidebooks consulted by travellers to Rome and the diaries they composed; and others creative, resulting in novels, poetry, and dance performances. Some involved the reproduction of experience in a gallery or museum setting. What all encounters with ancient material culture had in common, however, is their haptic sensory basis. The sense typically associated with the Enlightenment is vision, but this has obscured the equally important contribution made by touch and movement to the way in which a newly materialised Graeco-Roman world was perceived. Kinaesthesia, or the sense of self-movement, is rarely recognised in its own right, but because all encounters with sites and objects are embodied, and all embodiment takes place in motion, this sense is vital to forming more abstract or imaginative impressions. Theories of embodied cognition propose that all intellectual processes are also physical. This book shows how ideas about classical antiquity in the volatile milieu of the late 18th century developed as a result of diverse kinaesthetic relationships.
Download or read book A Man's Game written by Sherene McKoy and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Man's Game chronicles the story of four women who fell for his games. Each story leaves every woman wondering what she could have done differently. It tells of the many battles a woman faces as she tries to see the best in her partner. It shows how easily she can become heartbroken in trying to hold on to a world which is being ripped from beneath her, while the next prey is being hunted by the predator. You will gain insight into his mind and his world. Learn our (women's) stories through their (men's) games.Let's look at what so many women have experienced with men whom vowed to protect them. For those of us who believe that our experience and voice must be kept silent, our stories will be told through these words.I have yet to see any law, rule or scientific evidence that can ably assist in the explanation of a man's behavior. It is thought by our beloved psychologists that every person carries a different identity gene, and so the behavior of every individual is different. If so, how can we then explain the reason it has become so easy for some males to behave similarly? Many of them seem to be synchronized when it comes to the way they speak, act or even make decisions, as well as the mindset they have when they believe their happiness is threatened.Women will be left to decide if some men carry a huge chip on their shoulders or glorify themselves by playing the part of the abuser, inflicting wounds on any woman who dares to give a caring glance or verbalize her commitment. Too many men tend to expect so much yet give so little in return. Their behavior is that of a well-devised plan which will help them to achieve their main goal: Dominance.To be fair, our men do deserve credit because there are good men around. However, some have not grasped the concept of manhood and what it truly entails, especially concerning a woman. Like everything, there is a good and bad side and while there are those men who aim to preserve and protect, there are those who wreck that which has been entrusted in their care. This book is about exposing the ugly truths and their devastating effects on women and is not a deliberate attack against men. Men, your games may never end, but our stories must be told. Some tales will be told because the truth has been revealed, some will be left unspoken due to unanswered questions, and some will spark your desire to start at the beginning. Two things which cannot be denied are that whatever effect these stories might have on you, we can all relate, and we all have our own story to tell.
Book Synopsis A Translation and Interpretation of Horace’s Sermones, Book I by : Andy Law
Download or read book A Translation and Interpretation of Horace’s Sermones, Book I written by Andy Law and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horace’s book of Sermones (also called Satires) was his first published work. Rather than a collection of satirical sideswipes, as the genre might have dictated, the book is a wiry, tight, muscular, interlaced hexameter artwork of enormous originality and as far removed from the legacy of satirical writing he inherited as one can imagine. It is the work of a 29-year-old grappling with issues of personal and poetic identity during one of the most important and pivotal times in European history. Geographically, socially and genetically an outsider, Horace earned himself a seat at Rome’s top creative table, close to the heart of the political engine that was to change Rome forever. His book details a transformational journey from ‘nobody’ to ‘somebody’, and is a simultaneous invention of poet and reinvention of poetic genre. Horace’s Sermones have floated in and out of fashion ever since they first appeared, regularly eclipsed by his Odes. Today, rehabilitated, they find space in the higher levels of the school curriculum. This book provides unique insights and will be of interest to all classicists, as well as students studying core influences on European literature.

Book Synopsis Girl Warriors by : Svenja Hohenstein
Download or read book Girl Warriors written by Svenja Hohenstein and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quest narratives are as old as Western culture. In stories like The Odyssey, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Harry Potter, men set out on journeys, fight battles and become heroes. Women traditionally feature in such stories as damsels in need of rescue or as the prizes at the end of heroic quests. These narratives perpetuate predominant gender roles by casting men as active and women as passive. Focusing on stories in which popular teenage heroines--Buffy Summers, Katniss Everdeen and Disney's Princess Merida--embark on daring journeys, this book explores what happens when traditional gender roles and narrative patterns are subverted. The author examines representations of these characters across various media--film, television, novels, posters, merchandise, fan fiction and fan art, and online memes--that model concepts of heroism and girlhood inspired by feminist ideas.
