Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book uses theories of memory derived from cognitive science to
offer new ways of understanding how literary works remember other
literary works. Using terms derived from psychology - implicit and
explicit memory, interference and forgetting - Raphael Lyne shows
how works by Renaissance writers such as Wyatt, Shakespeare,
Jonson, and Milton interact with their sources. The poems and plays
in question are themselves sources of insight into the workings of
memory, sharing and anticipating some scientific categories in the
process of their thinking. Lyne proposes a way forward for
cognitive approaches to literature, in which both experiments and
texts are valued as contributors to interdisciplinary questions.
His book will interest researchers and upper-level students of
renaissance literature and drama, Shakespeare studies, memory
studies, and classical reception.
Raphael Lyne addresses a crucial Shakespearean question: why do
characters in the grip of emotional crises deliver such
extraordinarily beautiful and ambitious speeches? How do they
manage to be so inventive when they are perplexed? Their dense,
complex, articulate speeches at intensely dramatic moments are
often seen as psychological - they uncover and investigate
inwardness, character and motivation - and as rhetorical - they
involve heightened language, deploying recognisable techniques.
Focusing on A Midsummer Night's Dream, Othello, Cymbeline and the
Sonnets, Lyne explores both the psychological and rhetorical
elements of Shakespeare's language. In the light of cognitive
linguistics and cognitive literary theory he shows how Renaissance
rhetoric could be considered a kind of cognitive science, an
attempt to map out the patterns of thinking. His study reveals how
Shakespeare's metaphors and similes work to think, interpret and
resolve, and how their struggle to do so results in extraordinary
poetry.
This comprehensive workbook addresses the use of illegal online
sexual images. Focusing specifically on child sexual exploitation
materials (CSEM), it offers a clear and professional manual for use
with men who use CSEM. Working with clients who access illegal
online images is challenging work. CSEM clients have unique
characteristics and treatment needs. Designed around practitioner

a subsequent set of materials for the client.. The workbook covers
a range of topics such as motivation for change, relationships,
thinking patterns, emotions management, sexuality, computer use,
Internet safety and future strategies to ensure both client and

help manage problematic thoughts and/or illegal sexual behaviour.
Offering evidence-based strategies rooted in the authors' clinical
experiences, the workbook enables the practitioner and client to
work productively together to address the issues that have led to
their involvement with illegal sexual images. This book will be

psychologists, as well as those working in correctional settings,
such as probation and prison staff, psychiatrists, social workers,
counsellors and providers of mental health treatment. It is also
designed for anyone who has viewed, or is worried about viewing,
sexual images of children.
"It has been my endeavor in the following chapters to describe
briefly the most interesting persons and events that are connected
with the history of the Rulers of Zanzibar and their Dominions on
the East Coast of Africa during the nineteenth century, and to give
some account of this Island of the Southern East, its people and
industries." So writes the author in his preface to this work,
first published in 1905 and here reproduced in facsimile. The work
contains a detailed account of that region which became the centre
of the East African slave trade. Great wealth and power was enjoyed
by its Arab rulers until the British assumed it as a protectorate
at the end of the nineteenth century. Even so, the trade in slaves
and the influence of the Seyyids continued well into the present
century. The author provides a vivid description of the region and
the life and customs of its varied inhabitants. Rare contemporary
photographs add to this compelling record of nineteenth century
life in Zanzibar.
What are the political and aesthetic dimensions of video art,
documentary, and global cinema in contemporary image culture? Here,
Lynes makes visible how sites of political struggle, exploitation,
and armed conflict can be theorized and interpreted through a
feminist politics of location, attentive to the frictions and flows
within transnational circuits of exchange. Prismatic Media,
Transnational Circuits traces how formal modes of experimentation
provide prismatic visions of sites of political struggle -
multiple, mediated points of view - and thus open space for complex
and emancipatory relations among cultural producers, activists, and
viewers in a globalized present.
