Whether you are reading Greek mythology for psychological insights or studying the classics in college, there are a number of goddesses who have been almost entirely over-looked. They are who John Sanford calls the lesser-known goddesses. However, there is nothing lesser about them. They personify the deeper elements that exist across all life, nature, and spiritual reality. Our current culture often neglects their qualities but would be wise to increase its understanding of them. Many books, including the bestseller Goddesses in Everywoman by Jean Bolen, illustrate well-known goddesses who are the main characters in their stories. But behind the scenes and often running their personalities are the lesser-known goddesses from the ancient matriarchal era of Greek culture. To bring forward their spiritual meaning, Sanford has pieced together information from various Greek stories, plays, and poems. In so Boing, this unique book reacquaints us with: PEITHO Goddess of gentle persuasion wh...

Complete guide to aquatic entomology for fly fishers, covering all the important insects and their imitations for the entire United States. Hatch charts, fly pattern recommendations, and important fishing strategies from Paul Weamer. This is the ideal reference for those just starting out or for those that want to have a more comprehensive view of the important insects. Understanding aquatic insect hatches is like being able to cast an entire fly line. Do you need to cast that far to catch fish? Of course not. But will being able to cast a long distance inhibit your ability to catch fish? Never. Knowing where, and how, insects live and emerge gives anglers yet another piece of the puzzle. I've never heard a fly fisherman exclaim, "I probably would have caught those rising fish if I just didn't know so much about trout stream insects." You still need to cast. You still need to present flies in such a manner that fish will accept them. But though no one has ever failed...

By examining fossils and DNA, he shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our heads are organized like long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genomes look and function like those of worms and bacteria. Your Inner Fish makes us look at ourselves and our world in an illuminating new light. This is science writing at its finest--enlightening, accessible and told with irresistible enthusiasm.

Para a poeta portuguesa Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, o espaço existencial do homem tornou-se um centro gerador da escritura, um fundamento para a criação poética. A espacialidade criada pela linguagem serve como um ponto catalisador, base pela qual a poeta explicita um fecundo mergulho no mundo, em que seres e coisas são captados por um vislumbre lírico de êxtase e paixão. O real, em sua aparição epifânica, ganha uma aura de encantamento, pela qual a voz lírica se conjuga no mundo, formando um verdadeiro tecido inconsútil. Assim, dessa intensa relação com os espaços, nasce uma aguda consciência dos limites humanos e de nossa condição histórica. Diante de um mundo em ruínas, a poeta irá empreender um canto de resistência, denunciando, principalmente nas cidades reificadas, a crescente desumanização do homem. Tanto a espacialidade é fundamental na obra de Sophia, que podemos dizer que sua escrita é uma "topoiesis" ou "topoética". Dessa forma, para a escritora por...

This law and society reader taps a rich and diverse literature to compare and contrast the legal experience of many different cultures and nations. Drawing on a variety of methodological approaches, the selections allow students to evaluate whether there are general patterns that explain how legal systems work (or fail to work) and how these patterns relate to the structural and cultural facts of society. Every country, of course, has its own legal system, and no two systems are the same. But in teaching law and society, texts have focused nearly exclusively on American readings to the neglect of comparative and international work. This reader fills an obvious gap. It recognizes that law is increasingly global and cross-national, and shows how law relates to society in different times and places, the world over. Product details Format ...
