THE LONG-AWAITED new title from Amazon bestselling author Lucy H. Pearce. Burning Woman is a breath-taking and controversial woman's journey through history- personal and cultural-on a quest to find and free her own power.Uncompromising and all-encompassing, Pearce uncovers the archetype of the Burning Women of days gone by-Joan of Arc and the witch trials, through to the way women are burned today in cyber bullying, acid attacks, shaming and burnout, fearlessly examining the roots of Feminine power-what it is, how it has been controlled, and why it needs to be unleashed on the world during our modern Burning Times.Burning Woman explores: Burning from within: a woman's power-how to build it, engage it and not be destroyed by it. Burning from without: the role of shame, and honour in the time-worn ways the dominant culture uses fire to control the Feminine. The darkness: overcoming our fear of the dark, and discovering its importance in cultivating power.This incendiary text was written for women who burn with passion, have been burned with shame, and who at another time, in another place, would have been burned at the stake.

This book presents an engaging and accessible examination of the role of systematic biology in species exploration and biodiversity conservation. This book presents an engaging and accessible examination of the role of systematic biology in species exploration and biodiversity conservation.Our planet and systematic biology are at a crossroads. Millions of species face an imminent threat of extinction, and, with knowledge of only a fraction of earths species we are unprepared to respond. Species, Science and Society explains what is at stake if we continue to ignore the traditional mission of systematics. Rejecting claims that it is too late to document earths species, that molecular evidence is sufficient and that comparative morphology and the grand traditions of systematics are outdated, this book makes a compelling argument for a taxonomic renaissance. The book challenges readers to rethink assumptions about systematics. Shattering myths and misconceptions and clarifying the role of systematics in confronting mass extinction, it hopes to inspire a new generation of systematists. Readers are given a deeply personal view of the mission, motivations and rewards of systematic biology. Written in narrative style with passion, wit and optimism, it is the first book to question the growing dominance of molecular data, defend descriptive taxonomy and propose a mission to discover, describe and classify all species. Our evolutionary heritage, the fate of society and the future of the planet depend on what we do next.This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and professionals working in systematics, taxonomy and biodiversity conservation, as well as students with a basic background in biology.
A biblical scholar identifies the covenant as an overarching theme among diverse biblical texts While the canonical scriptures were produced over many centuries and represent a diverse library of texts, they are unified by stories of divine covenants and their implications for God&;s people. In this deeply researched and thoughtful book, Scott Hahn shows how covenant, as an overarching theme, makes possible a coherent reading of the diverse traditions found within the canonical scriptures. Biblical covenants, though varied in form and content, all serve the purpose of extending sacred bonds of kinship, Hahn explains. Specifically, divine covenants form and shape a father-son bond between God and the chosen people. Biblical narratives turn on that fact, and biblical theology depends upon it. With meticulous attention to detail, the author demonstrates how divine sonship represents a covenant relationship with God that has been consistent throughout salvation history. A canonical reading of this divine plan reveals an illuminating pattern of promise and fulfillment in both the Old and New Testaments. God&;s saving mercies are based upon his sworn commitments, which he keeps even when his people break the covenant. Autorid: Scott W. Hahn
Fact or fiction? Animaginative assemblage ofstatements about Vincent vanGogh that challenges what wethink we know about theartists much mythologizedexistence. Van Gogh is the most famous artist in the world, yet our understanding of his life is full of contradictions. Art historians, filmmakers, journalists, psychologists, and conspiracy theorists have offered theories on his life and work, yet their views are often poles apart. Van Gogh has been described as a suffering genius; a nature-loving innocent; a man of violence, a danger to himself and others; the embodiment of peace and compassion; a religious fanatic; a Marxist; a madman; a cultural commodity; and an investment opportunity. Where does the truth lie and the myth begin This original and wide-ranging book provokes new questions about how we see his life and work. Divided into the recurring themes that run through the artists life and legacy, this book presents a collage of facts and counterfacts about the artist, dating from his lifetime until now, from a wide field of sources: fellow artists, friends and family, doctors and psychoanalysts, actors and writers, theorists, crackpots, and scholars. Conflicting statements go hand in hand with an unconventional curation of images: featuring postcards of locations associated with the artist, photographs of a fraudsters legal trial, a childrens toy, a bottle label, and a rusty revolver.Turnbull presents a kaleidoscope of fact and fiction about the worlds most discussed artistsometimes funny, sometimes heartrending, always revealinggiving readers new insights into the artist, his work, and his legacy. Van Gogh himself would be amazed not only to see what people have said about him, but also to grasp the global phenomenon that he has become. A must-have for art lovers and museumgoers, this book invites all readers familiar with Van Gogh to challenge received ideas about the man and his work. Autorid: Alan Turnbull

Deutsch von Frank Günther Mit einem Essay von Ulrich Suerbaum »Leben ist nur ein Wanderschattenspiel; ist eine Mär aus einem Tölpelmund, voll von Getön und Toben, und bedeutet nichts« So Macbeth im letzten Stadium des Überdrusses, kurz vor seiner Ermordung, die ihm willkommen ist wie eine Befreiung. Vorausgegangen ist ein beispielloses Spektakel von Machtgier, Verführung und Mord; Shakespeares kürzeste, konzentrierteste, eingängigste Tragödie. Drei Hexen prophezeien Macbeth, er werde einst König sein. Sogleich steigen Mordgedanken in ihm auf, die er vergeblich zu unterdrücken sucht. Bestärkt durch den blutigen Ehrgeiz seiner Frau Lady Macbeth, bringt er schließlich den amtierenden König Duncan im Schlaf um. Macbeth wird König, fürchtet aber weiterhin um seinen Rang. Nun muß der Feldherr Banquo dran glauben, dessen Geist bald darauf während eines Festmahles erscheint und Macbeth vollends verunsichert. Ein weiteres Mal sucht er die Hexen auf, die ihn in trügerischer Sicherheit wiegen: »Keiner, den ein Weib gebar«, wird ihm je schaden. Doch das Unglaubliche geschieht: als Rächer tritt Macduff auf, der einst »vor der Zeit aus dem Mutterleib geschnitten« ward. Macbeth, der nie die Anteilnahme des Zuschauers verloren hat, weil ihm seine Taten zu sehr auf der Seele lasten, geht unter, ebenso wie Lady Macbeth, die zuvor schon dem Wahnsinn verfallen war.
