Beschreibung

In "The Taste of Honey: The Notebook of a Linguist," Edna Worthley Underwood presents a rich tapestry of linguistic exploration interwoven with personal reflection. This collection of musings captures the intricate relationship between language, culture, and identity. Underwood employs a reflective and poetic prose style, drawing readers into her contemplative world as she navigates the nuances of human communication. The book is situated within the broader tradition of linguistic studies, while also offering a creative lens through which to appreciate the subtleties of wordplay and expression. Edna Worthley Underwood, a pioneering linguist and educator, infused her work with a profound understanding of language's role in shaping thoughts and experiences. Her background in philology and her passion for education provided a foundational perspective that informs her writing. Underwood's thought process reflects her time, where a growing interest in social dynamics and cultural exchanges highlighted the power of language as both an academic pursuit and a personal artifact. Readers seeking a deeper appreciation of linguistics and its impact on everyday life will find "The Taste of Honey" both enlightening and thought-provoking. This book not only enriches its audience's understanding of language but also invites them to reflect on their own connections to words, making it a vital addition to the library of anyone interested in the beauty of linguistic diversity.

    In troubled times, there is an urgency to understand ourselves and our world. We have so many questions, and they tug at us night and day, consciously and unconsciously. In this important volume Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh—one of the most revered spiritual leaders in the world today—reveals an art of living in mindfulness that helps us answer life’s deepest questions and experience the happiness and freedom we desire.  
    Thich Nhat Hanh presents, for the first time, seven transformative meditations that open up new perspectives on our lives, our relationships and our interconnectedness with the world around us. Based on the last full talks before his sudden hospitalization, and drawing on intimate examples from his own life, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how these seven meditations can free us to live a happy, peaceful and active life, and face ageing and dying with curiosity and joy and without fear. 
    Containing the essence of the Buddha’s teachings and Thich Nhat Hanh’s poignant, timeless, and clarifying prose, The Art of Living provides a spiritual dimension to our lives. This is not an effort to escape life or to dwell in a place of bliss outside of this world. Instead, this path will allow us to discover where we come from and where we are going. And most of all, it will generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply in each moment of our life, right where we are.

    What is the material basis of the thoughts that occur inside our heads? 
     
    Where do imaginative, creative, or spiritual thoughts come from - can these really be the product of nerve impulses in the brain? And is the human mind radically different from that of other species, or is our uniqueness more superficial than real? 
     
    In this audiobook, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves. 
     
    This new model of consciousness not only provides a material basis of our innermost thoughts but also explains why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.

    When most people hear the word "witch," they immediately think of crones conspiring over a cauldron, a force of dark and vindictive power. But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image. 
     
    Witch Power follows Emma Quilty—herself a witch and an anthropologist—on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to "red tent" menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale. 
     
    Attentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules. 
     
    But while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance. Ultimately, Witch Power is a provocation and an invitation to listeners to experience with the author what it means to embrace witchiness and what witchy feminism could bring to your life.
