Before Emotion: The Language of Feeling, 400-1800 advances current
interdisciplinary research in the history of emotions through
in-depth studies of the European language of emotion from late
antiquity to the modern period. Focusing specifically on the
premodern cognates of 'affect' or 'affection' (such as affectus,
affectio, affeccioun, etc.), an international team of scholars
explores the cultural and intellectual contexts in which emotion
was discussed before the term 'emotion' itself came into widespread
use. By tracing the history of key terms and concepts associated
with what we identify as 'emotions' today, the volume offers a
first-time critical foundation for understanding pre- and early
modern emotions discourse, charts continuities and changes across
cultures, time periods, genres, and languages, and helps
contextualize modern shifts in the understanding of emotions.
Violence had long been central to the experience of Hellenistic
Greek cities and to their civic discourses. This volume asks how
these discourses were shaped and how they functioned within the
particular cultural constructs of the Hellenistic world. It was a
period in which warfare became more professionalised, and wars
increasingly ubiquitous. The period also saw major changes in
political structures that led to political and cultural
experimentation and transformation in which the political and
cultural heritage of the classical city-state encountered the new
political principles and cosmopolitan cultures of Hellenism.
Finally, and in a similar way, it saw expanded opportunities for
cultural transfer in cities through (re)constructions of urban
space. Violence thus entered the city through external military and
political shocks, as well as within emerging social hierarchies and
civic institutions. Such factors also inflected economic activity,
religious practices and rituals, and the artistic, literary and
philosophical life of the polis.

Testament to a New Dawn: Time of Revelation' is a unique collection
of transcribed messages from ascended masters and other
non-physical intelligence. They are relayed through mind
transference [trance] through the medium of Michael D Champion. The
messages contain guidance, teaching, philosophy, mathematical
formulations, parables and topical information all pertaining to
our present way of life and how, if we continue upon our present
course, it will affect not only the continued existence of the
human race, but the whole of the planet and all life upon it. Some
messages will seem quite harsh, but they are brought forward in a
loving manner, just as a parent may speak to a wayward child to set
him or her upon the correct path of life. It is time to learn to
live together as one co-operative civilisation. If we could somehow
achieve this, perhaps the suffering we see around the world at this
time may be less. In the three volumes of 'Testament to a New Dawn'
we are given hope of a new world to come, but it is only by
learning from the past and our current situation, that we can move
forward to a better future. The teachings given are profound and
although there may appear to be a religious theme at times, this
should not be shied away from. The messages are non-denominational
and acknowledge that all faiths are as one. We must learn to
recognise the universal consciousness that is attainable to
everyone through prayer and meditation. The messages given in all
three volumes of 'Testament to a New Dawn' are from beings who are
desperately trying to gain our attention. Knowledge is key if we
are to survive in the future.

'scaring' trains via mulberry stains, and playing games on cemetery
plains...Wednesday Addams would LOVE her, and you will too.
