Yet caught up in our everyday lives, we barely notice it.In ‘The Sea Inside’, Philip Hoare sets out to rediscover the sea, its islands, birds and beasts. He begins on the south coast where he grew up, a place of almost monastic escape.

Navigating between human and natural history, he asks what these stories mean for us now.Along the way we meet an amazing cast; from scientists to tattooed warriors; from ravens to whales and bizarre creatures that may, or may not, be extinct.

The Duchess of Malfi, The White Devil, The Broken Heart and 'Tis Pity She's a Whore - John Webster, John Ford

These four plays, written during the reigns of James I and Charles I, took revenge tragedy in dark and ambiguous new directions. In The Duchess of Malfi and The White Devil, John Webster explores the role of women and issues of power, sex and corruption in the Italian court, creating two unforgettable anti-heroines. In The Broken Heart, John Ford questions the value of emotional repression as his characters attempt to subdue their desires and hatreds in ancient Greece. Finally, Ford''s masterpiece ''Tis Pity She''s a Whore explores the taboo themes of incest and forbidden lust in a daring reworking of Romeo and Juliet.Jane Kingsley-Smith has edited the plays from the earliest quartos and added invaluable editorial material, including explanatory glosses and a new introduction that discusses how the playwrights used the theatre to explore issues around women, sex, power and violence. Together with the Penguin volume of Five Revenge Tragedies, edited by Emma Smith, this is the essential sourcebook for drama in the period. ''Revenge, hatred, villainy, incest, and murder upon murder are their constant themes ... and they handle these horrors with little or no moral purpose, save that of exciting and amusing the audience ...

Tools and the Organism - Colin Webster

The first book to show how the concept of bodily organs emerged and how ancient tools influenced conceptualizations of human anatomy and its operations.  Medicine is itself a type of technology, involving therapeutic tools and substances, and so one can write the history of medicine as the application of different technologies to the human body. In Tools and the Organism, Colin Webster argues that, throughout antiquity, these tools were crucial to broader theoretical shifts. Notions changed about what type of object a body is, what substances constitute its essential nature, and how its parts interact. By following these changes and taking the question of technology into the heart of Greek and Roman medicine, Webster reveals how the body was first conceptualized as an “organism”—a functional object whose inner parts were tools, or organa, that each completed certain vital tasks. He also shows how different medical tools created different bodies.  Webster’s approach provides both an overarching survey of the ways that technologies impacted notions of corporeality and corporeal behaviors and, at the same time, stays attentive to the specific material details of ancient tools and how they informed assumptions about somatic structures, substances, and inner processes. For example, by ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Jak pracovat s krystalem - 50 praktických rituálů a duchovních aktivit pro inspiraci a lepší život - Richard Webster

Lidstvo odedávna fascinovaly krystaly a drahé kameny. Díky své kráse byly nejprve používány k okrasným účelům. Netrvalo však dlouho a lidé objevili jejich skryté schopnosti, v první řadě schopnost zklidnit mysl a obnovit vnitřní rovnováhu. To zákonitě vedlo k jejich používání při věštění a léčení. Jejich využití je však mnohem širší. V knize Jak pracovat s krystalem se seznámíme s padesáti jednoduchými rituály, které nám pomohou nejen posílit naše zdraví nebo sebevědomí, ale také zlepšit vztahy doma či v práci, najít štěstí a dokonce i lásku. A k tomu všemu nám postačí pouze jediný krystal. Naučíme se, jak si vybrat ten pravý, jak o něj správně pečovat a třeba i to, jak jeho prostřednictvím můžeme pomoci někomu blízkému. Richard Webster, znalec lidské duše, pracuje se spolehlivými zdroji podpořenými vlastní dlouholetou praxí. Pokud máte rádi jeho knihy, můžete si být jisti, že vás ani tentokrát nezklame.

Objevování vnitřní matky - Bethany Webster

Mateřské zranění, ať už se projevuje na osobní, kulturní, duchovní či jiné rovině, je soubor zvnitřněných omezujících domněnek a vzorců, jenž nám v dospělosti na mnoha frontách způsobuje komplikace, má vliv na náš sebeobraz i na způsob, jak vnímáme druhé a svůj potenciál. Dcery ovládá neodbytný pocit, že je s nimi něco v nepořádku. Ze strachu z odmítnutí se nevěnují vlastnímu rozvoji, mají slabé hranice a nejasné ponětí o tom, kým jsou. Toto zranění se projevuje ve všech oblastech našich dospělých životů, od manželství přes rodičovství a kariéru až po vztah k tělu. Teprve ustavičná těžko snesitelná bolest, již způsobuje, v nás dokáže vyburcovat potřebnou motivaci a energii, abychom se konečně odhodlaly ke změně a navázaly kontakt se svým vnitřním dítětem a skrze něj s vnitřní matkou. Kniha známé americké terapeutky a spisovatelky Bethany Webster do hloubky rozebírá fenomén mateřského zranění a nabízí účinné a podrobné postupy, jak se z této nezdravé dynamiky trvale vymanit a zlepšit svůj život.

Efekt spásy - Michael Mehta Webster

Ochránce přírody a ekolog Michael Mehta Webster přináší poselství o existenci přirozeného efektu spásy, jímž příroda disponuje a jemuž člověk může v případě nutnosti tu a tam trochu pomoci, a poselství, podle něhož příroda není muzeem výtvarného umění. Taková představa je založena na zjevně mylném předpokladu, že se příroda nemění, pakliže do ní lidé nezasahují. Na základě nesčetných dokladů se můžeme přesvědčit, že takové tvrzení se nezakládá na pravdě. Fosilní záznam dokazuje, že se život po miliardy let neustále vyvíjel a měnil. Ekosystémy se mění i v řádu tisíců let, klima na Zemi se mění neustále, změny se prohlubují a vyhlídky podle většiny odborníků nejsou dobré. Kniha je souborem čtivých kazuistik ohrožených druhů, mezi nimiž nechybí tygr bengálský, losos nerka, vakoplch trpasličí, americké kaštanovníky, koráli na útesech u pobřeží Hondurasu, cichlidy ve Viktoriině jezeře či rostlinná společenstva na ostrově Asciensionu. Vydáme se dokonce na pouť do pleistocénu a zvážíme možnosti vzkříšení dávno vyhynulých druhů: jeskynních medvědů či mamutů srstnatých.

Andělé pro každý účel - Richard Webster

Andělé vám mohou pomoct kdykoli a v čemkoli. Stačí je požádat. Přivolejte si je! Hledáte lásku? Některý z andělů vám rád pomůže. Chcete být úspěšnější? Jistě se najde anděl, který bude vědět, jak na to. Ještě nevíte, co je vaším životním posláním? Některý z andělů vás k němu dovede. Známý autor Richard Webster v této knize představuje seznam andělů, jejichž pomoc vám přijde nejvíce vhod, a popisuje množství konkrétních způsobů, jak si je přivolat. Kniha v podstatě obsahuje návod, jak se s anděly spojit, pokud se potřebujete vypořádat s něčím konkrétním. Kapitoly jsou přehledně sestavené podle témat. Již před dvěma tisíci lety začali náboženští učenci řadit anděly do různých skupin podle toho, jakou dělají práci a jak mají blízko k Bohu. Přestože jsou všichni andělé stvořeni k tomu, aby lidem pomáhali, chránili a milovali je, mají různé výrazné vlastnosti a schopnosti. Seznamte se s nimi a zkoušejte se s nimi spojovat rozmanitými zábavnými a zajímavými způsoby, jež posílí váš duchovní růst.

On Breathing - Jamieson Webster

A few moments after birth we begin to use our lungs for the first time. From then on, we must continue breathing for as long as we are alive. And although this mostly happens unconsciously, in a society plagued by anxiety, climate change, environmental racism, and illness, there are more and more instances that ''teach us about the privilege that is breathing.'' Why do we so easily forget the air that we breathe in common? What does it mean to breathe when the environment that sustains life now threatens it? And how can life continue to flourish under conditions that are increasingly toxic? To approach these questions, Jamieson Webster draws on psychoanalytic theory and reflects on her own experiences as an asthmatic teenager, a deep-sea diver, a palliative psychologist during covid, a psychoanalyst attentive to the somatic, and a new mother. The result is a compassionate and timely exploration of air and breathing as a way to undo the pervasive myth of the individual by considering our dependence on invisible systems, on one another, and the way we have violently neglected this important aspect of life.
