Meet Luca Turin, a renegade scientist and perfume critic with an extraordinary sense of smell. NewsdayFunny, irreverent and passionate, The Secret of Scent opens the lid on two worlds - the glamorous and highly lucrative realm of the perfume makers, and the equally rivalrous domain of smell science.Smell is our forgotten sense. Long neglected by science in favour of more prestigious areas of research, it s also barely understood in general life. At the core of our sense of smell lies an enigma: why do things smell the way they do? How is smell written into the molecules? This book is the story of the quest to solve this puzzle. Luca Turin has been described in The Economist as a man with a powerful nose and a bizarre obsession with perfume. Starting with a tour of the great perfumes and their gifted makers, he shows how few people have an idea of what perfume is or how it is made, let alone how smell works and what part it plays in other pleasures like food. But not everyone has ignored this powerful sense. A small band of mavericks has been trying to crack the code of smell for seventy years. Building on their work, Turin thinks he has succeeded. And like all good mysteries, the solution was all the while hidden in plain sight - in this case, right under our noses.

An investigation of The Eye of Revelation, a system of inner alchemy meant to awaken the subtle powers of the human body and mind.This book examines in detail a short book, often referred to as The Five Tibetans that was published in 1939 teaching a simple yet effective set of five exercises for health and longevity, the Five Rites.Certain dietary rules and lifestyle principles accompanied the Rites, so did a Sixth Rite that worked the diaphragm muscles and redirected sexual energies, and also a set of teachings about seven energy centers or vortices in the body, though not the same as the well-known seven chakras along the spine.These vortices are among the most distinctive things about the system, and are found in only a scattered handful of sources elsewhere. It is by awakening the vortices to their normal rate of spin, the book claims, that the Rites achieve their effects.John Michael Greer follows each of these threads back as far as possible, to reveal something of the landscape of ideas and practices that gave rise to these remarkable exercises.He then spins the threads back together, putting the Five Rites in as much of their original context as he can, and describing in detail the practice of the broader system in which the Rites have their place⠔a system of inner alchemy meant to awaken certain subtle powers of the human body and mind.The book also includes the complete original text of The Eye of Revelation.

Linkovaný. Originální umění: Původní ilustrace ze série Irská folklórní trilogie od Cartoon Saloon Období: 2008–2020 Region: Irsko Keltská mytologie a dechberoucí animace ožívají v této jedinečné kolekci papírenských produktů, vytvořené ve spolupráci s irským animačním studiem Cartoon Saloon. Silné příběhy a podmanivá vizuální stránka studia si získaly srdce diváků všech věkových kategorií. Díky působivému originálnímu umění a fascinujícím scénám je spojení, které cítíme s těmito emotivními příběhy, naprosto jedinečné.Obzvláště blízká nám je oslavovaná Irská folklórní trilogie, série pohádek nominovaných na Oscara, které diváky přenášejí do bohatých a podmanivých světů plných univerzálních témat a emocí.Studio Cartoon Saloon dává přednost tradičnímu ručně kreslenému stylu animace, a tak v jeho filmech ožívají propracované, vířivé vzory starověkého irského umění. Tento přístup jej odlišuje od současného animačního světa, který se téměř zcela přesunul do digitálního prostředí. Sdílené hodnoty a vášeň pro umění učinily tuto spolupráci zcela přirozenou. Máme obrovskou radost, že Tomm Moore, režisér několika nejúspěšnějších filmů studia, pro nás exkluzivně vytvořil originální ilustrace na přebaly této kolekce.Na tomto produktu je reprodukováno umění z filmu Píseň moře (Song of the Sea, 2009), druhého dílu Irské folklórní trilogie. Tomm Moore chtěl vytvořit moderní pohádku inspirovanou tradičními irskými vypravěči známými jako seanachai. Film čerpá z několika keltských mýtů a lidových příběhů, které jsou citlivě vetkány do jeho vyprávění.Píseň moře je jediným filmem trilogie zasazeným do moderní doby. Hlavní zápletka se inspiruje mytologickými selkiemi, kouzelnými bytostmi z irského folklóru, které žijí jako tuleni v moři, ale na souši se mění v lidi. Příběh sleduje osud malého irského chlapce, jenž zjistí, že jeho němá sestra Saoirse, kterou viní ze smrti jejich matky, je ve skutečnosti selkie. Aby zachránila kouzelné bytosti před keltskou bohyní Machou, musí se vydat na neobyčejnou cestu.Píseň moře je nádhernou a nadčasovou poctou irské vypravěčské tradici a moudrosti, která přetrvává po generace.
