Sinopse

Flax Processing Days explores the fascinating history of linen production, focusing on the traditional methods of flax cultivation and processing. This book illuminates how families for generations transformed flax into linen, a once ubiquitous fabric. Discover the intricate steps, from planting to weaving, that were essential before industrialization. It highlights the resourcefulness required and the deep connection to sustainable practices in pre-industrial times. The book uniquely combines practical knowledge with social and familial contexts to present the complete flax-to-linen journey.

 
Chapters guide you through the seasons of flax cultivation, the detailed processes of rippling, retting, scutching, and heckling, as well as spinning, weaving, and finishing techniques. Learn how linen production was deeply embedded in family structures, community networks, and cultural values, serving as both a means of survival and a source of identity.

 
By drawing from historical agricultural manuals, oral histories, and museum collections, Flax Processing Days offers a comprehensive look at textile history. It emphasizes the significant role of family traditions in preserving these skills across generations, providing valuable insights for textile enthusiasts, craftspeople, and anyone interested in historical crafts and agricultural history.

    Qabbalistic Keys to the Creation...

    The Old Testament--especially the Pentateuch--contains not only the traditional account of the creation of the world and of man, but also, locked within it, the secrets of the Egyptian initiators of the Moses concerning the genesis of the god-man (the initiate) and the mystery of his rebirth through philosophy. While the Lawgiver of Israel is known to have compiled several works other than those generally attributed to him, the writings now commonly circulated as the purported sixth and seventh books of Moses are in reality spurious treatises on black magic foisted on the credulous during the Middle Ages. Out of the hundreds of millions of pious and thoughtful students of Holy Writ, it is almost inconceivable that but a mere handful have sensed the sublimity of the esoteric teachings of Sod (the Jewish Mysteries of Adonai). Yet familiarity with the three Qabbalistical processes termed Gematria, Notarikon, and Temurah makes possible the discovery of many of the profoundest truths of ancient Jewish superphysics.

    What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it? 
    After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of working in the field. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. 
    But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. 
    For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. 
    Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.

    The Essential Fromm - Life...

    Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from “both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability” (Chicago Tribune). As Erich Fromm points out, ours is “a life between having and being”—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist’s views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

    Prayer - The Art Of Believing

    In Prayer - The Art of Believing, Neville explores prayer as a psychological act: you receive what you accept as true. He contrasts pleading with “thanksgiving,” teaching that the effective prayer is the inner experience of already having. Through examples and explanation, he shows how belief is not intellectual agreement but felt acceptance. The emphasis is on mastering attention, mood, and inner speech so belief becomes automatic and fruitful.
    
    Prayer as assumption, not begging
    Thanksgiving as the secret of belief
    Feeling-based conviction over intellect
    Attention and inner speech as training tools

    We broke our new series on learning Spanish down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Spanish.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Spanish decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Spanish speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Spanish. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Spanish at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Spanish, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
