First populated by the Huron, Iroquois and Chippewa Nations,
Orillia is now a well-loved, year-round recreation destination. Its
history is deeply tied to its water. Situated in the narrows where
Lake Simcoe flows into Lake Couchiching, Orillia was a gathering
place for centuries before Europeans used it to bring furs to
market. Sir John Simcoe, first governor of Upper Canada, fostered
permanent settlement of the area. A gateway to the Muskoka region,
it has been home to lumber, manufacturing, and artistic endeavours.
Today, summer cottagers and winter athletes alike enjoy the
Sunshine City and its more than twenty annual festivals. Local
author Dennis Rizzo tells the fascinating and diverse history of
Orillia, Ontario.

Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. Peru's
distinctive Spanish and indigenous cultures that first encountered
each other five hundred years ago have progressively integrated.
However, the ongoing process of mixing raises questions about the
nature of Peruvian identity, and Peruvian society remains
economically and culturally divided. Culture Smart! Peru introduces
you to the changing realities of modern Peru. It describes
contemporary values and attitudes, key customs and traditions, and
reveals what people are like at home, in business, and in their
social lives. Peruvians are outgoing, sociable, and laid-back; get
to know them, and they will respond with warmth and generosity.
Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better
understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes,
customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit,
while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate
unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

Hymns and the music the church sings are tangible means of
expressing worship. As worship is one of the central functions of
the church and it occupies a prime focus, a renewed sense of
awareness to our theological presuppositions and cultural cues must
be maintained to ensure a proper focus in worship. Hymns and
Hymnody is an introductory textbook in three volumes describing the
most influential hymnists, liturgists, and musical movements of the
church. This academically grounded resource evaluates both the
historical and theological perspectives of the major hymnists and
composers that have impacted the church over the course of twenty
centuries. Volume 1 explores the early church and concludes with
the Renaissance era hymnists. Each chapter contains five elements:
historical background, theological perspectives communicated in
their hymns/compositions, contribution to liturgy and worship,
notable hymns, and bibliography. The missions of Hymns and Hymnody
are to provide biographical data on influential hymn writers for
students and interested laypeople, and to provide a theological
analysis of what the cited composers have communicated in the
theology of their hymns. It is vital for those involved in leading
the worship of the church to recognize that what they communicate
is in fact theology. This latter aspect is missing in accessible
formats for the current literature.
John Forrester’s passionate yet probing engagement with Freud and
psychoanalysis is legendary. Here, in six introductory lectures
delivered to his students at the University of Cambridge, his range
and lucidity bring the evolution of Freud’s thinking and the
nature of Freud’s discoveries into sharp focus. With an
historian’s eye for context, Forrester explores Freud’s
biography, the scientific moment, the radical subject matter of the
field itself – sex, dreams, desire, the unconscious, childhood,
language – as well as Freud’s development of a new clinical
practice. Â Forrester also explores both the growth of the
psychoanalytic movement and the question of what kind of beast it
might be as it travels through time and geography. He illuminates
the cultural and revolutionary impact of psychoanalytic thinking
– not only Freud’s, but that of some of his progeny in the many
places where the movement flourished. Freud and
Psychoanalysis takes us from Vienna to London, from Paris to
New York and Hollywood, from the lab to the couch, to the campus,
to film and to literature. This is a slim book that packs a big
punch. It invites any curious reader into a field and a way of
thinking that shaped the twentieth century.
Freud may never have set foot in Cambridge - that hub for the
twentieth century's most influential thinkers and scientists - but
his intellectual impact there in the years between the two World
Wars was immense. This is a story that has long languished untold,
buried under different accounts of the dissemination of
psychoanalysis. John Forrester and Laura Cameron present a
fascinating and deeply textured history of the ways in which a set
of Freudian ideas about the workings of the human mind, sexuality
and the unconscious affected Cambridge men and women - from A. G.
Tansley and W. H. R. Rivers to Bertrand Russell, Bernal, Strachey
and Wittgenstein - shaping their thinking across a range of
disciplines, from biology to anthropology, and from philosophy to
psychology, education and literature. Freud in Cambridge will be
welcomed as a major intervention by literary scholars, historians
and all readers interested in twentieth-century intellectual and
scientific life.

John Forrest (1847-1918), was an Australian surveyor and explorer.
At twenty-two, he led an expedition to determine the fate of Ludwig
Leichardt, who had earlier disappeared in the western desert. The
following year he surveyed the coastal route from Perth to
Adelaide, establishing the possibility of a telegraph line. In
1874, he crossed the central western desert, a two-thousand mile
journey which confirmed his heroic reputation. He received the
founder's medal of the Royal Geographical Society in London and was
appointed Deputy Surveyor-General. His account of these
expeditions, published in 1875, is based on his diaries, with
extracts from official letters and the newspapers that covered the
events. Forrest became Premier of Western Australia, held several
positions under the subsequent federal government, and was the
first native-born Australian to be recommended for a barony. This
book thus illuminates the political history of Australia and that
of its geographical exploration.
The Seductions of Psychoanalysis reflects on the history of
psychoanalysis, its conceptual foundations and its relation to
other disciplines. John Forrester probes the origins of
psychoanalysis and its most beguiling concept, the transference,
which is at once its institutional axis and experimental core. He
explores the most seductive of all recent psychoanalytic
traditions, that inspired by Jacques Lacan, whose radical
questioning of psychoanalytic effects has been continued implicitly
by Michel Foucault and explicitly by Jacques Derrida. Other key
questions addressed include the significance of speech in the
talking cure, and the relationship between the 'real' of
psychoanalysis and the fictionality of the 'truth' it offers. Dr
Forrester also focuses on the relationship between psychoanalysis
and the feminine, on analysis and gossip, on the borderline of
seduction and rape, and on the women who have played such a crucial
role in the history of psychoanalysis, as patients, analysts or
both.
‘The Colours of Life’ - through the eyes of a blind man is an
astonishing and surprising page-turner of a memoir. Full of
unexpected and captivating twists, it is a unique story and a
thought-provoking and compelling read. The story of David’s life
takes you on an odyssey around the globe, and into uncharted
territory. His entanglements along the way and the varying
decisions forced upon him, brings clarity to his remarkable and
upbeat attitude to life.
