Sinopse

In "Early London: Prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and Norman," Walter Besant meticulously delineates the rich tapestry of London's history from its prehistoric origins through the complexities of Roman, Saxon, and Norman invasions. His literary style marries vivid descriptions with rigorous historical analysis, weaving together archaeological findings with contemporary accounts. This work not only serves as a comprehensive chronicle of the city's evolution but also highlights the socio-political dynamics that shaped it, providing a crucial context for understanding medieval urban development within Europe. Walter Besant was a prominent historical novelist and social reformer, whose deep-seated interest in London's past is interwoven with a broader critique of Victorian society. His background as a historian and a member of the Royal Society of Literature informed his approach to this subject, allowing him to bridge narrative storytelling with academic rigor. Besant's passion for London's heritage stemmed from his own experiences in the city, making him an astute observer of its enduring legacy. This book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the origins of one of the world's greatest cities. Besant's blend of engaging prose and scholarly insight offers readers both informative content and a sense of the city's ancient pulse, ensuring this volume remains essential for historians, students, and enthusiasts of urban history alike.

    Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-style designer, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living.  
      
    Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong.  
      
    When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of ""me too"" as opposed to ""you should."" He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.

    Why is religion still around in the twenty-first century? Why do so many still believe? And how do various traditions still shape the way people experience everything from sexuality to politics, whether they are religious or not? In Why Religion? Elaine Pagels looks to her own life to help address these questions. 
    These questions took on a new urgency for Pagels when dealing with unimaginable loss—the death of her young son, followed a year later by the shocking loss of her husband. Here she interweaves a personal story with the work that she loves, illuminating how, for better and worse, religious traditions have shaped how we understand ourselves; how we relate to one another; and, most importantly, how to get through the most difficult challenges we face. 
    Drawing upon the perspectives of neurologists, anthropologists, and historians, as well as her own research, Pagels opens unexpected ways of understanding persistent religious aspects of our culture. 
    A provocative and deeply moving account from one of the most compelling religious thinkers at work today, Why Religion? explores the spiritual dimension of human experience.
