Sinopse

"Old New Zealand" is an anthropological book on the Maori people of New Zealand. "To the English reader, and to most of those who have arrived in New Zealand within the last thirty years, it may be necessary to state that the descriptions of Maori life and manners of past times, found in these sketches, owe nothing to fiction. The different scenes and incidents are given exactly as they occurred, and all the persons described are real persons. The writer has, therefore, thought it might be worthwhile to place a few sketches of old Maori life on record, before the remembrance of them has quite passed away; though in doing so he has by no means exhausted an interesting subject, and a more full and particular delineation of old Maori life, manners, and history has yet to be written."

    The timeless story of the beatific Dorian Gray, who never seems to age, and whose features never show the stains of life, no matter how debauched his existence becomes. What is is his secret? And what is the secret of a certain portrait that he keeps forever hidden, behind a curtain, in a locked room of his house, to which he has the only key? The only novel ever completed by Oscar Wilde, the Portrait of Dorian Gray was released in 1890 to rapturous outrage and censure, and has sold well (where permitted) ever since. 
    Narrated by Michael Ward.

    This collection of short essays examines the place of women in the history of psychedelics. 
     
     
     
    While some of the subjects are pioneers in their own right, the authors in this collection go beyond merely adding women to the past in psychedelic history, exploring some of the significant ways that women have contributed to psychedelic knowledge. 
     
     
     
    Blending historical and anthropological approaches with a series of captivating interviews, this collection taps into women's networks around the world throughout the twentieth century. It reveals some of the sophisticated and creative ways women have influenced our understanding of psychedelics and how they will continue to protect these stories as we face our psychedelic future. Our collection intentionally moves beyond an American set of stories, teasing out networks in Latin America. This collection brings together authors from the Chacruna Institute and Chacruna Latinamérica to engage listeners in conversations that move across time and place throughout the Americas. It is the first of its kind to balance non-English contributions through translation of stories exploring different cultural contexts outside the United States, where women have contributed to this enduring history.

    The Nature of Aesthetics is an engaging and readable explanation of aesthetics in the style of the Socratic dialogues. Chapter 1 and 2 define literature and art as an expression of how an author or artist sees his world and distinguishes this from other types of expression, such as a newspaper article, lab report, etc. Chapter 3 defends aesthetics and beauty as the evolutionary positive extreme the basis of which is steeped in survival. It concludes that beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, that the aesthetic sense has an evolutionary purpose to enable man to recognize and appreciate that which is positive for his survival. These works of the Detmar-Haskell Dialogues are done in a non-academic, explanatory style that lends itself to easy and enjoyable reading. Although philosophic and academic in content the Nature of Aesthetics is fun to read.
