This is a beautiful hard bound book. The Inquisition ordered this
book to the Church's "Index Expurgatorius," and Molinos was
condemned to life imprisonment for writing about a personal
relationship with God through intense devotion, internal reflection
and meditation. After all, what would happen to the Church if the
people didn't feel they needed it anymore? A table of content was
added in front of this edition rather than at the end like the
original. Additionally we have prominently displayed the chapter on
top of each page to make the text easier to navigate. We have
resisted the temptation to "English the text," preferring instead
to maintain historical accuracy which the Old English affords
scholars. Whether your interest is in Scientific Illuminism,
comparative religion, religious history or simple curiosity, we
know that our edition of this important work will make a lasting
impression upon you. This book is hard bound, and designed to last
for many years.
This book presents a state-of-the-art of EMI research in European
higher education over the last twenty years Offers a comprehensive
comparative analysis toward identifying gaps in our understanding
of relevant theories, research, and practice. Brings together the
authors' collective work on an annotated database of over 200
resources, featuring a range of publications of varying format,
type, and language, as well as information on relevant research
questions, methodologies, and findings.
This book presents some of the most recent tools, methods and
concepts in historical ecology. It introduces students and
researchers to state-of-the-art techniques and showcases a wide
array of methods dedicated to understanding the history of tropical
landscapes. The chapters cover the detection and characterisation
of archaeological features, living organisms as witnesses of past
human activities, ethnoecological knowledge of ancient
anthropogenic landscapes and societal impacts of historical
ecology. Whilst mainly based on Amazonian experiences, the
contributions aim to strengthen synergies between disciplines and
to propose solutions that can be applied elsewhere in the field.
A comprehensive collection of essays exploring the interstices of
Eastern and Western modes of thinking about the self, Crossroads in
Psychoanalysis, Buddhism, and Mindfulness: The Word and the Breath
documents just some of the challenges, conflicts, pitfalls, and
"wow" moments that inhere in today's historical and cultural
intersections of theory, practice, and experience. As this
collection demonstrates, the crossroads between Buddhist and
psychoanalytic approaches to mindfulness are rich beyond belief in
integrative potential. The surprising and fertile connections from
which this book originates, and the future ones which every reader
in turn will spur, will invigorate and intensify this specific form
of contemporary commerce at the crossroads of East and West.
Analytically-oriented psychotherapists, themselves of different
"climates" and cultures, break out of the seclusion of the
consulting room to think, translate, meditate on, and mediate their
experiences-generated via the maternal order-in such a way as to
make those experiences thinkable via the necessary filters of the
paternal order of language. In this light the "word and the breath"
of the book's subtitle are addressed as the privileged
"instruments" of psychoanalysis and meditation, respectively.

Skin is the border of our body and, as such, it is that through
which we relate to others but also what separates us from them.
Through skin, we speak: when we display it, when we tan it, when we
tattoo it, or when we mute it by covering it with clothes. Skin
exhibits social relationships, displays power and the effects of
power, explains many things about who we are, how others perceive
us and how we exist in the world. And when it gets sick, it turns
us into monsters. In Skin, Sergio del Molino speaks of these
monsters in history and literature, whose lives have been tormented
by bad skin: Stalin secretly taking a bath in his dacha, Pablo
Escobar getting up late and shutting himself in the shower, Cyndi
Lauper performing a commercial for a medicine promising relief from
skin disease, John Updike sunburned in the Caribbean, Nabokov
writing to his wife from exile, 'Everything would be fine, if it
weren't for the damned skin.' As a psoriasis sufferer, Sergio del
Molino includes himself in this gallery of monsters through whose
stories he delves into the mysteries of skin. What is for some a
badge of pride and for others a source of anguish and shame, skin
speaks of us and for us when we don't speak with words.
This volume includes a collection of studies on the interplay
between norm and usage in lexis, which is explored by looking at
both dictionaries and the media. The title features the polysemous
verb to observe, which is used both in the sense of "investigating"
use/usage and in that of "respecting" norms. This thematic area is
analysed from a synchronic perspective focusing predominantly on
the lexis of four European languages, namely English, French,
Italian and Spanish, although other languages are occasionally
referred to (e.g. Catalan and Danish). The volume comprises
nineteen chapters, which provide a wide-ranging, but deeply focused
overview of the complex and challenging interrelation between sites
and processes of norm formation and the recontextualization,
reconfiguration and re-creation of those norms. The book is
structured in four thematic sections, which focus on the
norm-setting role of dictionaries, the importance of authentic
language use in recent lexicographic products, the impact of the
Web on language usage as well as on the processes of norm creation
and diffusion, and the impact of mass-mediated communication on
lexis. The volume contains contributions in English, French,
Italian and Spanish.

The privileged link of psychoanalysis to spoken language does not
necessarily facilitate communication among analysts and
psychotherapists of different mother tongues. The Journal of
European Psychoanalysis published since 1995 has long sought to
overcome these linguistic barriers. Traditionally, it has
introduced English readers to important European authors, as well
as to authors of Latin American countries whose paradigms are close
to European "styles." Freed of the editorial and political
constraints that often govern the official organs of schools and
institutions, the Journal of European Psychoanalysis has, for many
years, regularly featured conversations with some of the most
prominent and brilliant figures in contemporary psychoanalysis:
highlighting debates and trends within psychoanalysis and related
fields while remaining ever-sensitive to the practical, ethical,
and theoretical implications of clinical practice. In Freud's
Tracks collects some of the most engaging and provocative of these
conversations, thus tracing a recent history of psychoanalysis in
Europe while also evidencing the discipline's vital and vibrant
connections with the fields of politics and social policy, science
and philosophy, cultural studies and the social sciences."
In his "Fragments of a Journal", playwright Eugene Ionesco wrote:
"According to Freud, the three obstacles that prevent us from being
are anxiety, pity and aversion. This is the threefold chain that
binds us. But our chain is fourfold or even fivefold: hatred or
aggressiveness are equal hindrances to freedom. Desire is the most
serious obstacle to our deliverance. Freudianism can thus, to some
extent, be reconciled with Buddhism..." Ionesco goes on to suggest
that the ultimate implications of psychoanalysis are not far
removed from those of Buddhism. In this book, Anthony Molino teases
out those implications in a collection of writings on the complex
relationship between the two disciplines. Comprised of both a
historical overview of the classic writings in the "dialogue" (with
works by Alexander, Fromm, Suzuki, Hisamatsu and Jung), and a
far-reaching panorama on the state-of-the-dialogue today (with
contributions by Adam Phillips, Mark Epstein, Masao Abe, the late
Nina Coltart, and, in conversation, psychoanalyst Joyce McDougall
and His Holiness the Dalai Lama), "The Couch and the Tree" is
intended as a watershed in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural
exploration.
Water Consumption, Tariffs and Regulation aims to provide a
statistical overview of water abstraction, consumption, tariffs and
data on sewage and wastewater treatment at an international level.
It is mainly based on the statistical information provided by the
IWA Specialist Group on Statistics and Economics. The book is
structured in three main parts. Part I presents tables and figures
relative to water consumption and sanitation status and focuses on
water abstraction, water delivered, water consumption and the
evolution of sewer connection and wastewater treatment. Part II
focuses on the analysis of water tariffs by investigating the
structure of water tariffs by analysing the importance of the
variable and fixed charge. It presents drinking water tariffs and
illustrates the relationship between tariffs and GDP and also the
size of the cities. Finally, charges in wastewater are dealt with
country by country. Part III analyses the main aspects relative to
water regulation and describes the importance of private operators
in the management of the water cycle. Information relative to the
principles used to fix drinking water prices is presented with an
assessment of access to public water services.
Foliation theory has its origins in the global analysis of
solutions of ordinary differential equations: on an n-dimensional
manifold M, an [autonomous] differential equation is defined by a
vector field X ; if this vector field has no singularities, then
its trajectories form a par tition of M into curves, i.e. a
foliation of codimension n - 1. More generally, a foliation F of
codimension q on M corresponds to a partition of M into immersed
submanifolds [the leaves] of dimension ,--------,- - . - -- p = n -
q. The first global image that comes to mind is 1--------;- - - - -
- that of a stack of "plaques". 1---------;- - - - - - Viewed
laterally [transver 1--------1- - - -- sally], the leaves of such a
1--------1 - - - - -. stacking are the points of a 1--------1---
----. quotient manifold W of di L..... -' _ mension q. -----~) W M
Actually, this image corresponds to an elementary type of folia
tion, that one says is "simple". For an arbitrary foliation, it is
only l- u L ally [on a "simpIe" open set U] that the foliation
appears as a stack of plaques and admits a local quotient manifold.
Globally, a leaf L may - - return and cut a simple open set U in
several plaques, sometimes even an infinite number of plaques.
This book has a very simple aim: to provide, in a single
collection, an overview of the lifework and thought of five of the
most gifted, insightful and provocative thinkers in contemporary
psychoanalysis. Through their writings and their lectures each has
achieved a status of extreme distinction enjoying almost
unqualified praise from their fellow professionals. They inspire
and they educate through their originality, rigour and humanity.
Over a period of two years, Anthony Molino conducted and compiled
these interviews. The interviews concentrate on interpretations of
each analyst's work but also blossom into more broad-ranging
philosophical concerns about the nature of psychoanalysis and of
their professional lives. The book offers a rewarding, fascinating
and rare opportunity to encounter five extraordinary psychoanalysts
speaking for themselves.
The Iberians inhabited southern and eastern Spain between the Greek and Phoenician colonization beginning in the eight century BC and the Roman conquest. This was a period of urban growth, and the adoption of ideological symbols and technological innovations from the colonists created an important and unique Iron Age culture. The Archaeology of the Iberians is an up-to-date, theoretically informed synthesis of what is now known about the world of the Iberians and a fascinating case study of change within a specific complex society.
