Deep underwater lurks a mysterious man-made illness. It has gone by many names over the years â “ Satanâ ™s disease, diverâ ™s palsy, the chokes â “ but today, medics call it decompression sickness. You know it as the bends. In the winter of 2012, British diver Martin Robson joined an expedition to southern Russia which sought to find a submerged cave system never seen by the human eye. On their final day, as Robson attempted to surface after reaching a record depth in the Blue Lake, disaster struck: just seventy-five feet down, he was ambushed by the bends. Forced to gamble on an underwater practice most doctors believe is a suicidal act, he sank back into the water. Soon, his only hope for survival was a dramatic mercy mission organised at the highest levels of the Russian government. Between the Devil and the Deep is the first book to tell the terrifying true story of what it feels like to get the bends, taking you inside the body and mind of a man who suffered the unthinkable. Writer Mark Cowan also explores the fascinating history of decompression sickness, the science behind what causes the disease, and the stories of the forgotten divers who pushed the limits of physical endurance to help find a solution.

Aeneas the True - son of Venus and of a mortal father - escapes from Troy after it is sacked by the conquering Greeks. He undergoes many trials and adventures on a long sea journey, from a doomed love affair in Carthage with the tragic Queen Dido to a sojourn in the underworld. All the way, the hero is tormented by the meddling of the vengeful Juno, Queen of the Gods and a bitter enemy of Troy, but his mother and other gods protect Aeneas from despair and remind him of his ultimate destiny - to found the great city of Rome. Reflecting the Roman peoples great interest in the myth of their origins, Virgil (70-19 BC) made the story of Aeneas glow with a new light in his majestic epic.

Predictions for each year of life go back to the earliest times of Hellenistic astrology. Elaborated by Persian and Arabic astrologers who emphasized the revolution of the nativity, known today as the solar return chart, annual predictive techniques then spread eastward into India and westward into Latin Europe during the Middle Ages. For the first time, this book draws together material on annual predictions from ancient and medieval authors writing in Greek, Arabic and Sanskrit, demonstrating their methods with a wealth of present-day example charts. While covering historical background and principles of interpretation, Annual Predictive Techniques is above all a manual of practical astrology, a guide to concrete prediction intended for intermediate students. Separate chapters are devoted to illustrating the use of primary directions and profections together with anniversary transits. The reader is then shown how to integrate these techniques step by step with the solar return chart. The final chapter discusses ways of subdividing a year and identifying times of major importance.

The Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeareâ ™s Language is the first comprehensive account of Shakespeareâ ™s language to use computational methods derived from corpus linguistics â “ methods of choice for todayâ ™s lexicographer.These first two volumes in this growing encyclopedia together provide a non-etymological A-Z â ˜dictionaryâ ™ that works through the frequency of word usage to reveal patterns of meaning and usage, and to examine what Shakespeareâ ™s words actually do in the environments they inhabit.All words from all of Shakespeareâ ™s plays are included â “ not just words judged to be â ˜difficultâ ™ â “ only leaving out proper names. The dictionary also covers words whose first known use is in Shakespeare (e.g. ear-piercing).Entries focus on the use and meanings of Shakespeareâ ™s words, both in the context of what he wrote and in the context in which he wrote.Every word is compared with a 321 million word corpus comprising the work of Shakespeareâ ™s contemporaries.Internal comparisons reveal how Shakespeareâ ™s language varies dynamically across his works, showing, for example, whether certain words are peculiar to tragedies, comedies or histories, or to certain social groups, and whether they have a particular stylistic flavour.Definitions are kept clear and concise, making the dictionary an ideal accessible reference.Words are classified according to their frequency band: how often they occur, in comparison to other words in Shakespeareâ ™s plays. Entries for words that occur more than 50 times contain charts showing the wordâ ™s frequency associations with:- Comedy, history or tragedy (and whether this differs from other playwrights);- Male or female characters (and whether this differs from other playwrights);- Particular social status groups of characters (and whether this differs from other playwrights)- Particular genres in published writing of the time (e.g. literary, religious, administrative, informational, instructional). The volumes together establish in detail both what is unique about Shakespeareâ ™s language and what Shakespeareâ ™s language meant to his contemporaries, including, for example, their attitudes towards love or death, what it meant to be Welsh or a harlot, or even the significance of eating fish as opposed to beef.This innovative reference resource is essential for English, Drama and Linguistics libraries, offering Shakespeare scholars and advanced students of Shakespeare and early modern literature fresh linguistic insights into Shakespeareâ ™s rich language.
