Synopsis

For centuries, the world has been captivated by the works of William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon. His plays and poems have enthralled audiences with their timeless themes, unforgettable characters, and exquisite language. But behind the brilliance of Shakespeare's work lies a lingering mystery: who was the true author?

This book delves into the depths of the Shakespeare authorship debate, exploring the evidence and arguments for and against the traditional view that the works were written by the historical figure William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon. We examine the life and career of Shakespeare, the historical and cultural context of his time, and the textual evidence found in his works.

We also consider the various alternative authorship theories, including those that attribute the works to Christopher Marlowe, Francis Bacon, Edward de Vere, and others. We weigh the evidence, consider the arguments, and ultimately come to our own conclusions about the true identity of the Bard of Avon.

This book is not merely an academic exercise. It raises fundamental questions about the nature of authorship, the role of evidence in historical research, and the relationship between art and biography. By exploring these questions, we can gain a deeper understanding of Shakespeare's work and its enduring significance.

Whether you are a seasoned Shakespeare scholar or a newcomer to the authorship debate, this book will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the evidence and arguments surrounding this enduring mystery. Join us as we explore the hidden corners of Shakespeare's life and work, and uncover the secrets that have been buried for centuries.

In addition to the authorship debate, this book also explores the cultural and historical significance of Shakespeare's work. We examine how Shakespeare's plays and poems have shaped Western literature, theater, and popular culture, and how they continue to resonate with audiences around the world.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Shakespeare, literature, history, or the enduring power of storytelling.

Lost Civilizations of...

NORAH ROMNEY

The phenomenon of the Olmec Heads and their Mysterious origins is observed in the Coast of the Gulf of Mexico, in the early pre-classic period, with the development of the Olmec culture. The first representations of political power are witnessed there, expressed through monumental sculpture and large-scale architecture. The dominant figure of the rulers appears and alludes to forms of government exercised by individuals who can convene to populations through ideological management and other coercion mechanisms. 
The socio-political complexity thus emerged encouraged the development of similar forms in other areas of Mesoamerica, which would later lead to the appearance of the first stratified societies made up of actual states, such as the cases of Teotihuacan in the Mexican highlands, Monte Albán in Oaxaca and the city-states of the Maya area during the classical period. The corollary of this process was made up by some societies of the post-classic period that reached supra-state levels, as happened with the Mexica who settled in the Mexican highlands and came to establish a true pan-Mesoamerica empire.

Victorian People - A...

Asa Briggs

This text looks at the people, ideas and events between the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Second Reform Act of 1867. From "John Arthur Roebuck and the Crimean War", and "Samuel Smiles and the Gospel of Work" to "Thomas Hughes and the Public Schools" and "Benjanmin Disraeli and the Leap in the Dark", Asa Briggs provides an assessment of Victorian achievements; and in doing so conjures up an enviable picture of the progress and independence of the last century. "For expounding this theme, this interaction of event and personality, Mr. Briggs is abundantly and happily endowed. He is always readable, often amusing, never facetious. He is widely read and widely interested. He has a sound historic judgment, and an unfailing sense for what is significant in the historic sequence and what is merely topical. . . . Above all, he is in sympathy with the age of which he is writing."—Times Literary Supplement

A Rare Recording of JB Rhine

J. B. Rhine

J.B. Rhine (1895 - 1980), widely considered to be the "Father of Modern Parapsychology," was the world’s leading investigator of psychic phenomena, ESP and the paranormal. He founded the parapsychology research lab at Duke University and the Journal of Parapsychology. Dr. Rhine, who coined the term "extrasensory perception" (ESP) to describe the apparent ability of some people to acquire information without the use of the known five senses), wrote several books on ESP and the paranormal. Rhine investigated ghosts, telepathy, poltergeists, and other unseen parapsychology phenomena from 1927 to 1965 at his Duke laboratory, and for several years after that at a private laboratory. The following was recorded from a Rhine lecture on psychokinesis and his ESP experiments.

Resilient Grieving Second...

PhD Lucy Hone, PhD Karen Reivich

The death of someone we hold dear may be inevitable; being paralyzed by our grief is not. Recent research has revealed our capacity for resilient grieving, our innate ability to respond to traumatic loss by finding ways to grow—by becoming more engaged with our lives, and discovering new, profound meaning. 
 
 
 
In this completely updated and expanded second edition, author and resilience/well-being expert Lucy Hone, a pioneer in positive psychology and bereavement research, continues to push her field forward. In 2014, Lucy was faced with her own inescapable sorrow after her twelve-year-old daughter was killed in a car accident. By following the strategies of resilient grieving, she found a proactive way to move through her grief, and, over time, embrace life again. Since then, Lucy has become a leading voice in resilience and bereavement science, overturning widely held myths and misconceptions, making plain the harms of rigid models such as Kübler-Ross's five stages, and advocating for a more adaptive grieving process that emphasizes emotions, relationships, attention, forgiveness, and self-compassion.
