How much do our conscious and subconscious minds influence our bodily health and well-being? Followers of the New Thought movement-an early "New Age" philosophy that was tremendously popular around the turn of the 20th century-vehemently believed in the concept of "mind over matter," and in this 1910 work, one of the most prominent New Thought voices explores the power of belief, suggestion, and the human imagination to avoid sickness... and to conquer it when it afflicts us. Part of Atkinson's "New Psychology" series, which melded the scientific and the spiritual into a fresh metaphysical paradigm, this is a provocative book, and a must-read for anyone interested in New Thought beliefs. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today.

First published in 1572, The Lusiads is one of the greatest epic poems of the Renaissance, immortalizing Portugal's voyages of discovery with an unrivalled freshness of observation. At the centre of The Lusiads is Vasco da Gama's pioneer voyage via southern Africa to India in 1497-98. The first European artist to cross the equator, Camoes's narrative reflects the novelty and fascination of that original encounter with Africa, India and the Far East. The poem's twin symbols are the Cross and the Astrolabe, and its celebration of a turning point in mankind's knowledge of the world unites the old map of the heavens with the newly discovered terrain on earth. Yet it speaks powerfully, too, of the precariousness of power, and of the rise and decline of nationhood, threatened not only from without by enemies, but from within by loss of integrity and vision.
