Beschreibung

In "The Man-Eaters and Other Odd People," Mayne Reid crafts a vibrant exploration of marginalized and peculiar cultures that populate the Earth, spanning remote locales and exotic terrains. The text reveals Reid's intricate narrative style, melding vivid descriptions with a conversational tone, inviting readers into his fascinating world of human oddities. This work, steeped in the Victorian appetite for adventure and discovery, balances genuine ethnographic observation with the sensationalism typical of popular literature of the time, situating itself at the intersection of travel writing and anthropological inquiry. Mayne Reid, a prolific 19th-century author known for his adventure novels, drew upon his extensive travels and a keen sense of curiosity about human nature to write this book. His own experiences, coupled with a growing interest in anthropology during his lifetime, inform the book's portrayal of societies that challenge mainstream narratives. Reid's engagement with the complexities of race, culture, and identity rendered him a forward-thinking figure amidst the prevailing imperialist attitudes of his contemporaries. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay between literature, anthropology, and adventure. Reid'Äôs fascinating account not only educates but enthralls, offering insights into the lives of marginalized peoples that are rare for its time. Explore the intricate tapestry of human experience through Reid's lens and discover a blend of insight and storytelling that remains relevant today.

    Imagination: A Very Short Introduction explores imagination as a cognitive power and an essential dimension of human flourishing, demonstrating how imagination plays multiple roles in human cognition and shapes humanity in profound ways. Examining philosophical, evolutionary, and literary perspectives on imagination, the author shows how this facility, while potentially distorting, both frees us from immediate reality and enriches our sense of it, making possible our experience of a meaningful world. Long regarded by philosophers as an elusive and mysterious capacity of the human mind, imagination has been the subject of extraordinary ambivalence, described as both dangerous and divine, as merely peripheral to rationality and as essential to all thinking. Drawing on philosophy, aesthetics, literary and cognitive theory, as well as the human sciences, this book engages the dramatic conceptual history of imagination together with contemporary explanations of its role in cognition to explain its importance in everyday life as well as the exquisite creativity of the arts, scientific discovery, and invention. Engaging examples from cave paintings to modern painting, performance art to pop art, physics to phenomenology, technological inventions to literary worlds, the Nazca geoglyphs to dramatic theater, poetry, and jazz improvisation, the author illuminates with clarity and vision the philosophy of imagination and the stakes of its involvement in human thinking.

    The remarkable wartime diary of nurse Kathleen Johnstone 
    ‘Warm, chatty and endlessly absorbing, this delightful diary brims with intelligence and humour.’ Wendy Moore, author of Endell Street: The Women Who Ran Britain’s Trailblazing Military Hospital 
    The second world war could not have been won without the bravery and selflessness of women on the Home Front. Women like Kathleen Johnstone. 
    This first-hand story of one extraordinary but unheralded member of Britain’s ‘Greatest Generation’ brings home with extraordinary lucidity and compassion the realities of wartime Lancashire. 
    In 1943, Kathleen, then thirty, was a nurse-in-training at the Blackburn Royal Infirmary. For the next three years she kept a meticulous diary of her day-to-day existence, leaving behind a vivid record of the real-time concerns of a busy, thoughtful woman on the frontline of the war at home. 
    Kathleen’s days were never the same. She writes in clear and lively prose about life in the hospital: of her fellow nurses, her patients, about death and dying, and the progress of the war as wounded soldiers returned from Normandy in the summer of 1944. She muses on being working class, wartime austerity, and her anxiety about examinations. Here too are dances, Americans and a POW boyfriend in Germany. Kathleen’s observations are witty, wry and astute – but above all relatable, even today. 
    Poignant and engrossing, Kathleen Johnstone’s tale of trauma, romance and friendship will leave a lasting impression. 
    Kathleen Johnstone's personal memoirs provide a unique perspective on the social history of 20th century Europe. As a top nurse during the war, her experiences with patients and her insights into the medical challenges of the time make this autobiography a must-read. 
    For fans of Grace Dent (Comfort Eating), and Mary Morris (A Very Private Diary).

    Russell Targ has been successfully teaching people how to get in touch with their psychic abilities for more than fifty years. This began in 1972 when he cofounded the CIA sponsored ESP research program at Stanford Research Institute. 
     
     
      
    Third Eye Spies will introduce listeners to the most successful and gifted remote viewers in the world, some of whom had never done anything like this before, along with the evidence of their psychic abilities. Remote viewing is the opportunity to describe and experience objects and events in the distance, past, and future. 
     
     
      
    Targ shares the simple techniques the masters of remote viewing used to be able to expand your mind's eye beyond your physical location. Misconceptions have abounded that ESP is weak and unreliable. On the contrary, in the SRI laboratory experiments and classified operational tasks, ESP was found to be surprisingly reliable, accurate, and useful. In data from laboratories all over the world, we have seen that the accuracy and reliability of remote viewing is not in any way degraded by distance. 
     
     
      
    With Third Eye Spies, you will be able to step beyond the boundaries of your physical body and learn to live with psychic abilities.
