Download or read book Creating Your Own Space written by María Davis and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between women and houses has always been complex. Many influential writers have used the space of the house to portray women's conflicts with the society of their time. On the one hand, houses can represent a place of physical, psychological and moral restrictions, and on the other, they often serve as a metaphor for economic freedom and social acceptance. This usage is particularly pronounced in works written in the nineteenth and twentieth century, when restrictions on women's roles were changing: "anxieties about space sometimes seem to dominate the literature of both nineteenth-century women and their twentieth-century descendants." The Metaphor of the House in Feminist Literature uses a feminist literary criticism approach in order to examine the use of the house as metaphor in nineteenth and twentieth century literature.

Download or read book The Source written by Ursula James and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shot through with life-altering rituals, rites and spells, The Source guides readers to the place in their lives where true magic can finally begin Ever since she was a little girl, Ursula James has heard a voice. For years she tried to ignore it, but a personal crisis at the age of forty forced her to finally listen. That, as well as the actual appearance of the speaker-also named Ursula-at her bedside one dark and cold night. The woman who revealed herself to James was Ursula Sontheil, known as Mother Shipton, a sixteenth-century prophetess, healer, and-some say- witch. Legend has it that Mother Shipton was burned by the king's men for her heresies, and her spirit became trapped in a cave in Yorkshire. This cave had an unusual characteristic: Anything taken there was turned to stone by the action of the lime-suffused waters from a nearby well. Mother Shipton used this water to create an image of herself on the wall, and then split the cave open to call the needy. Sick at heart or in body, people came to her in the cave to offer her objects in return for her healing powers. In The Source, Ursula James describes how Mother Shipton appeared before her with urgent new prophecies for our troubled times- prophecies that include spells for, as Kabbalah says, Tikkun Olam-the healing of the world. Mother Shipton asked James to put these messages into writing to share with others-and record them she did, verbatim, in this book.
Download or read book Overdue Conversations written by Mokshda Jailkhani and published by Leadstart Publishing Pvt Ltd. This book was released on with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “OVERDUE CONVERSATIONS” is a collection of short, heartwarming, feel-good prose pieces that will have readers living a little bit of life with each page they turn. This compilation consists of essays written on matters of the heart, the simplest yet the most neglected human emotions, feelings and thoughts that are taught to be taboo to even experience internally, and brings to light everything that we never give ourselves permission or time to experience. The chapters acknowledge, validate and even celebrate having a goal but being too scared, being a sensitive person in a metal-hearted world, accepting that goals can be worked towards without suffering, the superpower of being able to cry when we need to, finding the beauty within and slowing down to smell the flowers or speeding up to plant the seeds because really, that’s a choice, and all around being an unapologetically human slice of life that feels each feeling there is to feel and cries each tear we have always been forbidden to, without assigning any labels to ourselves and to everyone else. Most of the chapters are written in a conversational or sometimes self-talk style in order to make the flow of sentences more expressive and relatable as opposed to instructional or exclusive (as sometimes seen in self-help or inner management books) to make the reader feel comforted, accepted and seen, and to help them see how we are more alike than we are different. Let ‘The golden idiot’ make you see how precious you are even though your love and surrender towards that person was betrayed. Let ‘Bring it on!’ make you see how in-love you are with basic humanness and how organically, ‘severely’ beautiful you are when you do something as simple as wipe the sweat off your face. Let ‘Bittersweet’ re-acquaint you with all the pain you have endured, and from that pain, help you extract your new, scarred, warrior self, and immerse yourself in the acceptance of being ‘different’ as ‘What are you?’ holds your hand in the awareness that so many of us feel this way, and that’s okay. The intricately woven prose collection in “Overdue Conversations” promises to touch on human connections and intrapersonal relationships like never before.

Download or read book Masks of the Universe written by Edward Harrison and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-08 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the ancient Greeks the universe consisted of earth, air, fire, and water. To Saint Augustine it was the Word of God. To many modern scientists it is the dance of atoms and waves, and in years to come it may be different again. What then is the real Universe? History shows that in every age each society constructs its own universe, believing it to be the real and final Universe. Yet each universe is only a model or mask of the unknown Universe. Originally published in 2003, this book brings together fundamental scientific, philosophical, and religious issues in cosmology, raising thought-provoking questions. In every age people have pitied the universes of their ancestors, convinced that they have at last discovered the ultimate truth. Does the modern model stand at the threshold of discovering everything, or will it, like all the rest, come to be pitied?

Download or read book Einstein in Time and Space written by Samuel Graydon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Isaacson’s Einstein meets Craig Brown’s 99 Glimpses of Princess Margaret, in this innovative biography of the famous physicist told in ninety-nine dazzling vignettes. Most of us would agree that Albert Einstein’s name is synonymous with “genius” and that his likeness is often used as a shorthand for all scientists, appearing everywhere from cartoons to textbooks. He has become more myth than man. That being the case, how best to capture his essence? In Einstein in Time and Space, talented young science journalist Samuel Graydon answers that question with an illuminating mosaic—99 intriguingly different particles that cumulatively reveal Einstein’s contradictory and multitudinous nature. Glimpsed among these shards: a slacker who failed every subject but math, a job seeker who couldn’t get hired, a lothario who courted many women, and a charmer who was the life of the party. As brilliant as he was inconsistent, Einstein was simultaneously an avid supporter of the NAACP and the fight for civil rights and someone capable of great prejudice. He was loved by many, known by few, and inspirational to a generation of young physicists. Graydon reveals every corner of Einstein’s world: the false reporting that rocketed Einstein to fame nearly overnight, his effect on people he met merely in passing, even the remarkable posthumous journey of the famed physicist’s brain. Entertaining, comforting, bolstering, and shocking, Einstein in Time and Space is the unique story of a man who redefined how we view our universe and our place within it.
