Sinopsis

"Language of Touch" explores how literature uses tactile sensation to convey emotions, relationships, and philosophical ideas. Often overshadowed by sight and sound, touch is a key way we understand ourselves and the world. The book examines how authors use language to evoke the feeling of touch, known as haptic representation, for readers. It considers the cultural and historical contexts surrounding touch, including how social norms and power dynamics influence tactile interactions in literature. The book argues that literary depictions of touch are powerful tools for meaning-making, challenging conventional perceptions and revealing deeper truths. Touch in literature shapes identity, negotiates social hierarchies, and expresses trauma. By drawing on sensory psychology, cultural history, and disability studies, the book connects literature to other fields. Beginning with theoretical frameworks from phenomenology and psychoanalysis, the book analyzes literary texts, from classic novels to contemporary poetry, with each chapter focusing on a particular aspect of touch. "Language of Touch" concludes by considering how emerging technologies and evolving attitudes may influence the representation of tactile experience in the future, enriching our understanding of literary expression.

    YOU NEVER LOVE A BOOK THE WAY YOU LOVE A BOOK WHEN YOU ARE TEN. 
     
    Writing as Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler has led several generations of young readers into that special and curious space of being hopelessly lost, and joyfully finding yourself, in the essential strangeness of literature. The wondrous and perilous journey of the Baudelaire orphans sprung from the author’s own path, from his childhood discovery of Baudelaire’s poetry through the countless peculiarities of his pursuit of a literary life—abject failure and startling success, breakthrough and breakdown, concordance and controversy—lit along the way by the books and culture he loved best. 
     
    At once a personal memoir and a literary exploration, a how-to book and a critical inquiry, a sequence of stories and a series of events, And Then? And Then? What Else? is a book not just for anyone curious about the creator of Lemony Snicket, but for anyone who loved books when they were a child, and still loves them now.

    Meditation can be so much more than 20 minutes of tranquility a day. “With some initial practice,” shares Andrew Holecek, “you’ll bring a mind that is more present, open, sensitive, kind, and aware into every facet of life. Wherever you go, your wondrous mind will go with you.” 
    Mindfulness is everywhere—now widely considered an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, much like exercise, diet, and good sleep. Yet many of us who practice mindfulness wonder: Now what? If you’ve sensed the potential for something much deeper and more impactful than temporary stress reduction and calm in the stillness of the present moment, expert teacher Andrew Holecek offers an exciting, inviting guide for what is possible in the vast, transformative world of meditation beyond mindfulness. 
    With I’m Mindful, Now What?, Holecek reveals how the form of mindfulness many of us know is merely one thread in a time-honored and much richer tapestry of contemplative practice.  
    Here he presents an encompassing survey of the many dimensions of meditation—including paths for opening your heart, nurturing compassion, connecting with your body, expanding your dreaming life, and investigating the fundamental nature of reality. 
    In accessible language geared for both first-timers and the experienced, Holecek shares insights and tools to help you develop your practice, stretch your limits while navigating the pitfalls, use “meditation snacks” to open new directions, and more.

    A Nation Fermented - Beer...

    How did beer become one of the central commodities associated with the German nation? How did a little-known provincial production standard—the Reinheitsgebot, or Beer Purity Law—become a pillar of national consumer sentiments? How did the jovial, beer-drinking German become a fixture in the global imagination? 
     
     
     
    While the connection between beer and Germany seems self-evident, A Nation Fermented reveals how it was produced through a strange brew of regional commercial and political pressures. Spanning from the late nineteenth century to the last decades of the twentieth, A Nation Fermented argues that the economic, regulatory, and cultural weight of Bavaria shaped the German nation in profound ways. Drawing on sources from over a dozen archives and repositories, Terrell weaves together subjects ranging from tax law to advertising, public health to European integration, and agriculture to global stereotypes. 
     
     
     
    Offering a history of the Germany that Bavaria made over the twentieth century, A Nation Fermented both eschews sharp temporal divisions and forgoes conventional narratives centered on Prussia, Berlin, or the Rhineland. In so doing, Terrell offers a fresh take on the importance of provincial influences and the role of commodities and commerce in shaping the nation.
