Break through old patterns of boredom and lack of fulfilment to
discover your most brilliant life! Your intuition holds the key to
a truly inspired life. It can, however, bring with it an increased
sensitivity, so overwhelming that some find it hard to operate in
day-to-day life. Others feel foolish or weird when acknowledging
their intuition. In a world focussed on science we have amazing
technology and vast physical abundance. However, ignoring our
intuition has deprived us of untold benefits in our careers,
well-being, and relationships. The Soul's Brain reveals the
principles of conscious intuition. These principles are part of the
structure of our universe, forming patterns in our lives which are
as fundamental as breathing. Knowing these patterns allows you to
translate between intuition and science. Understanding the
neurology and logic of your intuition will allow you live a truly
brilliant and inspired life. Catherine Wilkins guides you through
the nine-step process to conscious intuition. You will learn how
tuning into your intuition is a skill like any other - all it takes
is knowledge and practice. Science and spirituality have a common
language. You don't need to choose between science and intuition,
you can use both together to achieve your full potential.

more friends than she loses. A funny, wise story that will touch a
nerve with everyone who reads it.

Landscape Imagery, Politics and Identity in a Divided Germany,
1968-1989 explores the communicative relationship between German
landscape painting and the viewing public that developed in the
wake of the student revolutions of the late 1960s. The book
demonstrates that, contrary to some historical thinking, more
similarities than differences characterized the sociopolitical
concerns of East and West Germans during the late Cold War Era, and
that it was these shared issues that were reflected in the revival
of the Romantic painting genre. Catherine Wilkins focuses on
recovering the agency of the individual artist and in revising
historiography with sensitivity to narration 'from below.'
Interdisciplinary in nature, art historians can benefit from the
study's analysis of images and artists not widely known outside of
Germany. Additionally, the consolidation of statistics and data
regarding German postwar cultural policy are relevant for political
and cultural historians. The author contributes to the ongoing
multidisciplinary debates regarding Histoire Croisee (in arguing
that a clear dichotomy between East Germany and West Germany did
not exist but rather that the residents of both nations shared a
concern over some of the same issues of the period) and memory
studies (by using images as primary historical sources, able to be
employed in the recovery of potentially 'subversive' memory and
identity). Issues related to gender relations, environmentalism,
and spiritual belief are addressed by Wilkins, with appeal for
scholars working with those particular themes. Poststructuralist
and literary theorists as well can find arguments supporting an
alternative means of writing history through artworks and private
memories.
