To the Lighthouse

When Mrs Ramsay tells her guests at her summer house on the Isle of Skye that they will be able to visit the nearby lighthouse the following day, little does she know that this trip will only be completed ten years later by her husband, and that a gulf of war, grief and loss will have opened in the meantime. As each character tries to readjust their memories and emotions with the shifts of time and reality, this long-delayed excursion will also prove to be a journey of self-discovery and fulfilment for them.Rich in symbolism, daring in style, elegiac in tone and encapsulating Virginia Woolfs ideas on life, art and human relationships, To the Lighthouse is a landmark of twentieth-century literature and one of the high points of early Modernism.

A History of Judaism

'An absolute godsend ... Goodman has done both Jews and non-Jews a great service with this book, encapsulating most of Jewish thought over four millennia into one extraordinarily readable volume' Julia Neuberger, Literary ReviewA panoramic history of Judaism from its origins to the presentJudaism is by some distance the oldest of the three Abrahamic religions. Despite the extraordinarily diverse forms it has taken, the Jewish people have believed themselves bound to God by the same covenant for more than three thousand years. This book explains how Judaism came to be and how it has developed from one age to the next, as well as the ways in which its varieties have related to each other.'A one-volume tour de force. Goodman meets the substantial challenge of charting the twists and turns, tributaries and backwaters of Judaism's many streams over 2,000 years - and succeeds' Harry Freedman, Jewish Chronicle'Learned and illuminating ... this magnificently lucid account will become the standard reference for a generation' Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal

Yoshitoshi's Strange Tales

Tais Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was the most popular woodblock artist of his day. Customers lined up on the day of publication for his prints of historical characters and beautiful women. His career, which introduced subtle psychological observation to the artistic and representational world of ukiyo-e, straddled the tumultuous late Edo and early Meiji periods. Yoshitoshi was fascinated by the supernatural, and some of his best work concerns ghosts, monsters, and charming animal transmutations. Yoshitoshi's strange tales presents two series that focus on his depictions of the weird and magical world of the transformed. The first series dates from the beginning and the second from the end of the artist's abbreviated career, encapsulating his artistic development. One Hundred Tales of Japan and China (Wakan hyaku monogatari) of 1865 is based on a game in which people told short scary ghost tales in a darkened room, extinguishing a candle as each tale ended. New Forms of Thirty-six Strange Things (Shinken sanjurokkaisen) of 1889-92 illustrates stories from Japan's rich heritage of legends in more serene and objective ways. The book opens with a study of Japanese ghost prints and analysis of Yoshitoshi's changing treatments of the genre, and reproduces three rare paintings by the artist. This is Yoshitoshi at his most whimsical and imaginative.

Codependency: A Relationship Rescue for Toxic Relationships, Manipulation & Enabling to Self-Confidence, Boundaries, Emotional Health & Happiness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min

Discover how to be codependent no more Millions of people around the world suffer from the debilitating effects of codependency. It is more common than our society realizes, temporarily rearing its ugly head at some point in peoples' lives and completely encapsulating the lives of others. Codependency transcends cultures; it tears up otherwise perfectly healthy relationships; it can drag you into a vicious cycle; it can trap you in a snare of misery. Codependency is subtly woven through our relationships in some form and varies in its intensity. It's a bitter poison resulting in the slow death of healthy relationships with ourselves and with other people. It is an ever hungry addiction that may seem foolish to drink from, and we know it, but we still allow codependency to continue to cause us to consume. The damaging and crippling effects of codependency leave us exasperated and disempowered; confused and hopeless; pressed down and unable to break free. But there is hope! Codependency encourages and inspires us to change. It breaks down the misconceptions of codependency and introduces how to identify the behaviors we practice that allow this demon to negatively affect our lives. It empowers you with the knowledge to achieve the freedom you so desperately crave through an in-depth examination of your emotions and how they play a part in your decision making process. This helpful book provides assessment tools for assisting you in identifying your current codependent relationships and how to create proper outward and inward boundaries. Furthermore, the book describes practical strategies and solutions to the common challenges people face in their everyday lives. At the core of codependency is the realization that we can't change other people. We can only overcome and be the change that we want to see in the world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Hearts and Mines: With the Marines in al Anbar - A Story of Psychological Warfare in Iraq , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min

This is a true story of war, the story of one man's transformation as he retraces the mine-strewn roads of a land itself transformed by mankind's most shockingly inhuman practice. It is the firsthand account of a member of one of the United States Army's three-man Tactical Psychological Operations Teams, groups of men tasked with winning the hearts and minds of Iraq's civilian population through leaflets, loudspeakers, conversation, and bribery. Transcribed from and inspired by the author's personal wartime journal, it is a story of introspection. It relates how the feelings of eagerness and uncertainty in a young man unfamiliar with war were replaced with the dread knowledge that, buried within his soul, beneath a facade of goodwill and morality, lurked the capacity to kill his fellow men. There are scenes of battle retold in Hearts and Mines. There are descriptions of the feelings of seeing once-familiar human bodies destroyed beyond recognition. Some days are described as being full of hope and appreciation for the beauty of the world, others with despair for the omnipresent cruelty and destruction which has a habit of consuming men when they feel unaccountable for their actions. It captures the sensory experience of living in a singular environment full of strange plants and animals, friends true and false, and determined enemies, encapsulating the existential fear of mortar and rocket attacks, and the ever-present threat of IEDs, as well as the ridiculousness of military bureaucracy, such as was demonstrated by a sergeant major's decision to punish graffiti artists by removing the doors of all the camp's toilets. In late 2001 Russell Snyder joined the United States Army as a psychological operations specialist. As a member of the 9th PSYOP Battalion, the army's only active-duty, tactical psychological operations unit he deployed to Iraq, the experience that inspired him to write Hearts and Mines. Subsequently he was deployed twice ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Allen Nelson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/010086/bk_adbl_010086_sample.mp3.

Black Face Minstelsy in Aurora, Illinois (eBook, ePUB)

Blackface minstrelsy is a sensitive subject associated with racism and stereotypes of African Americans. It is well-documented in the archives of American history, as well as in those of Aurora, Illinois. The images and photographs in this book are intended strictly to chronicle the history and optics of blackface minstrelsy in the United States and Aurora. It is not the intent of the author to offend or defame. As uncomfortable as the subject and images are, blackface minstrelsy is a part of American history. However, its history cannot be told in isolation; of equal importance are the social dynamics of the time, and the mass media's use of stereotype images and songs. How could the negative portrayal of African Americans on stage to entertain be acceptable? It was not surprising, considering the societal norms during the era. The Midwest city of Aurora was a microcosm of American society, encapsulating the country's shared expectations of acceptable behaviors by groups. Hence, what happened in Aurora was a mimicry of that in the United States as a whole. Included in the book is a demographic narrative of Aurora's early African-American citizenry. The legacy of blackface minstrelsy in America is a complex and controversial subject associated with negative stereotype images and behaviors of African Americans. Deliberate or not, it created and reinforced racist stereotypes, functioning as a cultural transmitter of racism against African Americans. The social curtain on blackface minstrelsy finally closed in the mid-1960s, relegated to the pages of history.

Apartness and Uniformity

This book presents a theory of apartness encompassing both point-set topology and the theory of uniform spaces. The first book on the apartness approach to constructive topology, it is a valuable addition to the literature on topology in computer science.The theory presented in this book is developed constructively, is based on a few axioms encapsulating the notion of objects (points and sets) being apart, and encompasses both point-set topology and the theory of uniform spaces. While the classical-logic-based theory of proximity spaces provides some guidance for the theory of apartness, the notion of nearness/proximity does not embody enough algorithmic information for a deep constructive development. The use of constructive (intuitionistic) logic in this book requires much more technical ingenuity than one finds in classical proximity theory -- algorithmic information does not come cheaply -- but it often reveals distinctions that are rendered invisible by classical logic.In the first chapter the authors outline informal constructive logic and set theory, and, briefly, the basic notions and notations for metric and topological spaces. In the second they introduce axioms for a point-set apartness and then explore some of the consequences of those axioms. In particular, they examine a natural topology associated with an apartness space, and relations between various types of continuity of mappings. In the third chapter the authors extend the notion of point-set (pre-)apartness axiomatically to one of (pre-)apartness between subsets of an inhabited set. They then provide axioms for a quasiuniform space, perhaps the most important type of set-set apartness space. Quasiuniform spaces play a major role in the remainder of the chapter, which covers such topics as the connection between uniform and strong continuity (arguably the most technically difficult part of the book), apartness and convergence in function spaces, types of completeness, and neat compactness. Each chapter has a Notes section, in which are found comments on the definitions, results, and proofs, as well as occasional pointers to future work. The book ends with a Postlude that refers to other constructive approaches to topology, with emphasis on the relation between apartness spaces and formal topology.Largely an exposition of the authors' own research, this is the first book dealing with the apartness approach to constructive topology, and is a valuable addition to the literature on constructive mathematics and on topology in computer science. It is aimed at graduate students and advanced researchers in theoretical computer science, mathematics, and logic who are interested in constructive/algorithmic aspects of topology.
