Humans have been meditating on the Moon since the beginning of our time on earth. As long as there has been anything we could call astrology, it has been central to all theories of celestial influence. But why do astrologers pay so little attention to its phases? In these pages, Steven Forrest, bestselling author of The Inner Sky, shows how we have been blinded to the lunar phases by a set of cultural attitudes now drifting into extinction. He demonstrates that our Celtic ancestors held the key to understanding lunar phase and he skillfully, clearly, and eloquently turns the key in that lock for us. Along the way, he also presents the latest research on the powerful but little used tools: the Out of Bounds Moon, lunar speed, and lunar parallax. You'll also find rare descriptions of the progressed lunation cycle, planetary phase angles and nodal phase. Discover the soul of the moon in this lucid explanation of the Moon's place in modern humanistic astrological counseling.
Behind your familiar astrological chart lurks another chart entirely, one whose existence you may never have suspected. It carries your treasures and your wounds. Where the astrologer's predictions and the realities of your life might not in all honesty ha

Die drei Klaviersonaten op. 2 sind Beethovens erste Werke dieser Gattung, die er mit einer Opuszahl versah und somit als besonders wertvolle Kompositionen der Musikwelt präsentierte. Sie entstanden in Beethovens ersten Wiener Jahren und etablierten ihn - wie auch die Klaviertrios op. 1 - als einen der bedeutendsten Komponisten seiner Zeit. Alle drei Sonaten sind kleine Meisterwerke, die sich in Schwierigkeit der Ausführung und Bravour steigern. Die viersätzige f-moll-Sonate wird häufig als "Kleine Appassionata" bezeichnet, denn sie teilt mit der berühmten Sonate op. 57 nicht nur die Tonart, sondern auch - besonders im letzten Satz - den leidenschaftlichen Zugang. Murray Perahias in jahrzehntelanger Musizierpraxis bewährte Fingersätze eröffnen einen neuen Zugang zu diesem Meilenstein der Klavierliteratur.

A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, "The Garden of Eden" is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the Cote d'Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. "A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary," "The Garden of Eden" represents vintage Hemingway, the master "doing what nobody did better" (R. Z. Sheppard, "Time)."
