Sinopsis

In "Modern Magic," M. Schele de Vere presents a comprehensive exploration of magical practices, dissecting their historical significance and cultural contexts. The book fuses scholarly analysis with engaging prose, reflecting the literary style of the mid-19th century while also serving as a sociocultural commentary on contemporary notions of the occult. De Vere meticulously catalogs various forms of magic, from folk traditions to esoteric practices, emphasizing their evolution in modern society while also addressing skepticism toward such phenomena, thereby inviting readers to reflect on the intersection of belief and rationality that characterizes this era. M. Schele de Vere was a prominent linguist and scholar of the 19th century, renowned for his contributions to linguistics and literature. His diverse background, coupled with a keen interest in cultural anthropology, led him to investigate the richly layered world of magical beliefs. De Vere's academic rigor and passion for the supernatural informed his approach, allowing him to juxtapose empirical research with the mystical elements of magic, thus framing the significance of these practices within a broader philosophical discourse. "Modern Magic" is a vital read for anyone interested in the intricate tapestry of human belief systems. It offers a nuanced understanding not only of magical practices but also of the cultural and psychological dimensions that underpin them. De Vere's insightful analysis invites readers to reconsider the impact of magic in our lives, making it an essential text for scholars, historians, and those drawn to the mysterious realms of human experience.

Me Inc - Build an Army of One...

Anónimo

Book package features a black simulated-leather cover with gold foil stamping and black ribbon bookmark.  
The fact that KISS is one of the most successful rock bands in the world is no accident. From the beginning Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had a clear-cut vision of what they wanted to do and how they wanted to operate KISS as a business well before they ever first took the stage. Since deciding with Paul to manage the band themselves, Simmons has proved himself to be a formidable businessman, having sold over 100 million CDs and DVDs worldwide, overseen over 3,000 licensed merchandise items, and starred in the longest running celebrity reality show to date. More impressive is that he handles all of his business ventures on his own—no personal assistant, few handlers, and as little red tape as possible. 
In ME, INC., Simmons shares a lifetime of field-tested and hard-won business advice that will provide readers with the tools needed to build a solid business strategy, harness the countless tools available in the digital age, network like hell, and be the architect for the business entity that is you. Inspired by The Art of War, the book dispenses Simmons’ in-depth insights via thirteen specific principles for success based on his own experience, triumphs, and instructional failures in business—from finding the confidence within yourself that’s necessary to get started, to surrounding yourself with the right people to partner with and learn from, to knowing when to pull the plug and when to double-down. These thirteen principles are a skeleton key into a world of success, freedom, peace of mind and, most importantly, financial success.
