aphrodite bryony pearce

She’s just the Goddess of Love and Beauty. And that’s exactly what she wants them to think. Naked and salt-soaked, Aphrodite is born from the waves. Knowing nothing of who or what she is, she quickly discovers that she has incredible power and the kind of beauty that makes men mad. Her blood pulses with the same call: home, home, home. Cue Olympus, the home of the gods. But Olympus turns out to be a seething snake-pit, and love is never simple. Ordained the mere Goddess of Love and Beauty, the threatened and spiteful gods and goddesses seek different ways to control Aphrodite. As a trap closes in around her, she learns that it is a curse to be seen as nothing but beautiful – but it may also be her strongest weapon. The gods of Olympus will soon learn not to underestimate the Goddess of Love and Beauty.

Magické dítě je klasické dílo, které hluboce zpochybnilo panující názory na porodní praxi, rodičovství a vzdělávání dětí. Jeho odvážné myšlenky o tom, jak západní společnost děti poškozuje a jak bychom o ně i o sebe mohli pečovat lépe, dnes znějí pravdivěji než kdykoli předtím. Od chvíle, kdy se narodí, říká Joseph Chilton Pearce, má lidské mládě jediný zájem: naučit se o světě všechno, co se jen lze naučit. Naše planeta je dětským hřištěm a dětskou hru by nic nemělo narušovat. Za takové výchovy je magické dítě šťastný génius, který dokáže cokoli. Je vybaveno k naplnění svého úžasného potenciálu. S využitím myšlenek mezinárodně uznávaného dětského psychologa Jeana Piageta sleduje Pearce růst systému mysl-mozek od narození až do dospělosti. Alarmující nárůst autizmu, hyperaktivity, dětské schizofrenie a sebevražd dospívajících spojuje s chybami, kterých se při výchově a vzdělávání dětí běžně dopouštíme. Následně ukazuje, jak obnovit to ohromující bohatství tvůrčí inteligence, které je vrozeným právem každé lidské bytosti. Pearce zpochybnil veškeré naše představy o výchově dětí a současně s tím i naše představy o sobě samých. Jeho poselství je jednoduché: nikdy není pozdě začít si hrát, všichni jsme totiž magické děti.

Kniha Mezi myslí a srdcem Josepha Chiltona Pearce, autora bestselleru Magické dítě, přestavuje inteligenci srdce, napojenou na prefrontální mozkovou kůru, jako protiváhu ke kalkulujícímu intelektu nižšího mozku. Příroda s námi má velké plány, které však zůstávají nenaplněny. Kulturní tlaky nás svedly z cesty a péče i výchova, jaké bychom potřebovali, jsou už po generace zapomenuty. Zůstáváme tak v zajetí falešného světa a ve vleku sobeckého plazího mozku, který se soustřeďuje pouze na vlastní přežití. Mezi potenciální a skutečnou realitou vznikly "podivné smyčky", jejichž výsledkem je nekonečný koloběh katastrof a společenských krizí, které si náš moderní svět sám způsobuje. Pearce vysvětluje, že pokud se chceme z tohoto koloběhu vymanit, musíme se znovu propojit se soucitnou inteligencí srdce. Svůj výklad opírá o množství různorodých materiálů: analyzuje neurologické výzkumy, studuje dávno ztracené i dodnes fungující pečující kultury, předkládá své osobní zkušenosti i odkazy na život a dílo osobností, jako jsou Charles Darwin, Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner a další. Ukazuje, že aktivováním původního matrixu srdce a mysli - který je hnací silou naší duchovní evoluce i naším spojením s vesmírem - můžeme naučit mozek novým způsobům myšlení, vykročit ze začarovaného kruhu destruktivního chování a vstoupit do budoucnosti ve znamení míru, duchovního propojení a vědomé ...

Stuart Pearce became the face of England''s bid to win the 1996 European Championships when his maniacal explosion of joy and relief at scoring a penalty in the quarter-final shoot-out against Spain captured the mood of a nation.England did not win the tournament, but, against a backdrop of the Three Lions song that played from every pub, every bar, every car radio and every open window in that summer, it cemented the renaissance of the game in this country. Alongside his friendships with Paul Gascoigne and Gareth Southgate - including the time the trio were invited on stage by the Sex Pistols - the book details the semi-final against Germany, more heartbreak in the penalty shootout when Southgate missed England''s sixth penalty and what the tournament meant to Pearce and to Southgate and to the rest of the country.It is a first-hand account of the summer when football came home for England fans, and when the country lost itself in the joy of a home tournament.

A prominent British-Nigerian writer’s odyssey through a West Africa now starkly different from that of his youth. West Africa is at a crossroads. Boasting tremendous natural wealth, its inhabitants are among the world’s poorest. Despite ostensible multi-party democracy, it has suffered coups, conflict and corruption since independence. Where can it go from here? Journeying along the coast and across the Sahel, from Ghana to Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone to Senegal, British-Nigerian writer Adéwálé Májà -Pearce uncovers a restless region on the verge of great change. Visiting fourteen countries—and seeking out the Nigerian diaspora communities in each—he reflects on the dramatic transformations that have shaken these societies since the late 1980s, when he first travelled their roads. From refusing IMF loans to rejecting Western-imposed currencies, West Africa’s diverse, expanding and overwhelmingly young population is conducting a quiet revolution, discarding its European-dominated past and seizing control of its own future. In Nigeria, anti–police brutality demonstrations have challenged an aging elite sustained by colonial enablers who never truly left. And in Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, popular resentment has forced the withdrawal of long-present French troops Speaking with local journalists and dissident academics, street hawkers and immigration officers, Májà -Pearce brings to ...

Explores the extraordinary states of expanded consciousness that arise during comas, both positive and negative Every day around the world, thousands of people are placed in medically-induced comas. For some coma survivors, the experience is an utter blank. Others lay paralyzed, aware of everything around them but unable to move, speak, or even blink. Many experience alternate lives spanning decades, lives they grieve once awakened. Some encounter ultra-vivid nightmares, while others undergo a deep, spiritual oneness with the Universe or say they have glimpsed the Afterlife. Examining the beautiful and disturbing experiences of those who have survived comas, Alan and Beverley Pearce explore the mysterious levels of consciousness this near-death experience unlocks. They demonstrate how a key element of the brain is switched off by coma-inducing sedatives, allowing the mind to break free from the body and experience a greater expansion of consciousness. Revealing the dangers of deep sedation and other intensive care procedures, the authors show how comas are unnecessary more often than not and that many coma survivors go on to suffer lasting cognitive and physical harm. Exploring proven alternatives to medically-induced coma, they share tried and tested protocols that are safer for critically ill patients and kinder ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Approaches to Mixed Methods Research focuses on the choices social scientists make when designing a study that mixes quantitative and qualitative data. Authors Lisa D. Pearce and Jessica Halliday Hardie explore ways to weave together strands of research using qualitative and quantitative data to speak to and enhance each other; a strand being a series of steps involved in collecting and analyzing a single type of data. The result, they show, is a more holistic body of evidence that emerges, and they illustrate this with examples from a wide range of studies from the United States and other countries.

Brett Whiteley was one of the most dynamic and talented artists in the history of Australian art, an artist whose recognition had spread worldwide before his untimely death in 1992. Early in his career he established a name for himself in London, exhibiting at the Whitechapel Art Gallery and coming into contact with many British painters - Francis Bacon and David Hockney among others. His early paintings startled critics and fellow artists, but even at that point, two basic subjects were evident: the landscape and the nude, elements which became the mainstay of his oeuvre. At the root of all Whiteley's work was a draughtsmanship of stunning virtuosity, capable of capturing all the poetic arabesque of a river in a single sweeping line of brush and ink, or the erotic curves of the human body in a few searching strokes of charcoal. This volume presents an illuminating evaluation of Whiteley's achievement. Works dating from the 1950s to the last years of his life, illustrated in over 180 colour plates, allow Whiteley's career to be surveyed in its entirety. Barry Pearce, Head Curator at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, provides a comprehensive overview of Whiteley's life and art; Bryan ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Malta, 1913, and hot air balloons hover over the Grand Harbour. One of them comes down in the water but no one is hurt - except that the balloonist dies later when taken into the Naval Hospital for a check-up. But he is not the only one who had died there unexpectedly, as a letter to The Times points out, and a special investigator, Seymour of the Foreign Office, is sent out from London to find out what is going on.For in 1913 Malta is still a British protectorate, governed by the British; indeed, with its red postboxes, English beer and English language it seems like an exotic Little Britain. But the rumblings of war are reaching out to that small island in the Mediterranean and many of the old Maltese families are becoming divided in their loyalties: at the same time staunchly supportive to the British and yet starting to question Malta''s subordinate status and wondering whether the time has come to strike out an independent path for themselves.So the letter to The Times has touched a raw nerve, as Seymour soon finds out: is it a critique of bad nursing practises? Or is there a different, more sinister ... Unknown localization key: "more"
