Sinopse

In 'William Blake,' Algernon Charles Swinburne embarks on an incisive examination of one of English literature's most enigmatic figures. The book marries rich poetry with fervent prose, reflecting Swinburne's admiration for Blake's innovative spirit and unique artistic philosophy. Swinburne's literary style oscillates between lyrical reverence and analytical rigor, as he delves into Blake's themes of visionary mysticism, social critique, and the tension between imagination and reality. Set against the backdrop of the Romantic era, this work invites readers to explore Blake's complex persona while considering the socio-political influences of his time. Algernon Charles Swinburne, a Victorian poet known for his groundbreaking use of meter and a fervent embrace of aestheticism, was profoundly influenced by Blake's revolutionary spirit. Struggling with his own identity within the rigid confines of Victorian society, Swinburne's fascination with Blake'Äôs counter-cultural stance and his use of myth and allegory reflects a deep desire to challenge conventional norms. This biography emerges from Swinburne's own quest for artistic autonomy and an understanding of the imaginative power that Blake epitomizes. 'William Blake' is highly recommended for scholars, poets, and anyone intrigued by the interplay of art and rebellion. Swinburne'Äôs profound insight and passionate advocacy for Blake not only illuminate the life of the poet-artist but also encourage readers to engage with the broader implications of creativity and imagination in their own lives. This book is essential for those wishing to understand the roots of modern poetic discourse.

    For eighteen years, Nora Lakheal has been relentlessly tracking down Islamist terrorists. Originally a philosophy student, the boxer from Barbès joined the police force as one would join a religion, but with a taste for action and the unexpected. She soon became the first woman to join the Group for Radical Islamism of SORS, the elite Intelligence Service. 
    Neither an exemplary life story, nor the umpteenth diary of a police officer, instead this book is the searing testimony of a woman who chose to risk her life – this is not said lightly - for her convictions and for France. In the image of this extraordinary personality, Elite Agent overturns all clichés and plunges us into the hectic career of an exceptional woman.

    The true story of the life journey of a combat fighter pilot and astronaut. An adventure that illuminates a path toward understanding the meaning of life and our place in the universe. 
    Humanity faces an unprecedented crisis that threatens all life on Earth. Desert Storm fighter pilot and NASA astronaut Ron Garan addresses this head-on in Floating in Darkness: A Journey of Evolution, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed first book, The Orbital Perspective: Lessons in Seeing the Big Picture from a Journey of 71 Million Miles. 
    Ron takes us on an extraordinary journey through outer space and inner space. He explores the dancing, intersecting orbits of religion, spirituality, and science while grappling with his own role in the violence of combat and the effects of war on all aspects of human life. We witness Ron struggling with mortality while also basking in the sheer wonder and beauty of our world and beyond. 
    From this perspective, Ron maps out a viable path forward--to solve our crisis, we need a giant leap in humanity's evolutionary process. We must transcend individual and collective ego and embrace the true nature of our interdependence with this fragile planet and all life within its biosphere. Ron shows us how to discover our purpose, detoxify our divisive culture, and become a "white blood cell" in a growing immune response to heal our world. 
    Floating in Darkness is a blueprint to build a restorative and positive future for all.

    EQ+MH=PH Emotions! How to live...

    “How emotional you are!”  
    So often we hear this comment from a friend or a family member.   
    Mostly we fumble as we think of a response because we do not know what to say as we cannot relate to what it means to be ‘emotional.’  
    Emotions make us human.  
    They give us information about what is going on inside us.  
    Emotional Quotient (EQ) is the level of awareness of what is taking place or going to take place. It is the ability to comprehend and use that knowledge effectively. Emotions help us reflect on how we are mentally equipped to give our life direction. Our emotional responses make us win friends, build healthy relationships or lose them. It is our EQ that allows us to stay ahead at work, and be focused and cheerful.   
    In recent times there is a lot of focus on one dimension of human well-being, physical health.  
    But then, physical health is just one part of our overall health. A partial one.  
    The equation to have a healthy life begins with a healthy and high EQ plus a healthy mind.  
    Once these two, our emotional quotient (EQ) and mental health (MH) are in place then our physical health (PH) will be in good shape. If we have a high EQ then even if we have any physical illness it will not make us stressed or discouraged to live a good and effective life. This seems understandable and logical but is very difficult to follow. This is where this book helps. Not only to open the perspective of well-being and health to have a multidimensional outlook but also to sustain it. too,
