Naming the Witch: Magic, Ideology, and Stereotype in the Ancient World (Gender, Theory, and Religion)
by Kimberly StrattonKimberly B. Stratton investigates the cultural and ideological motivations behind early imaginings of the magician, the sorceress, and the witch in the ancient world. Accusations of magic could carry the death penalty or, at the very least, marginalize the person or group they targeted. But Stratton moves beyond the popular view of these accusations as mere slander. In her view, representations and accusations of sorcery mirror the complex struggle of ancient societies to define authority, legitimacy, and Otherness.Stratton argues that the concept "magic" first emerged as a discourse in ancient Athens where it operated part and parcel of the struggle to define Greek identity in opposition to the uncivilized "barbarian" following the Persian Wars. The idea of magic then spread throughout the Hellenized world and Rome, reflecting and adapting to political forces, values, and social concerns in each society. Stratton considers the portrayal of witches and magicians in the literature of four related periods and cultures: classical Athens, early imperial Rome, pre-Constantine Christianity, and rabbinic Judaism. She compares patterns in their representations of magic and analyzes the relationship between these stereotypes and the social factors that shaped them.Stratton's comparative approach illuminates the degree to which magic was (and still is) a cultural construct that depended upon and reflected particular social contexts. Unlike most previous studies of magic, which treated the classical world separately from antique Judaism, Naming the Witch highlights the degree to which these ancient cultures shared ideas about power and legitimate authority, even while constructing and deploying those ideas in different ways. The book also interrogates the common association of women with magic, denaturalizing the gendered stereotype in the process. Drawing on Michel Foucault's notion of discourse as well as the work of other contemporary theorists, such as Homi K. Bhabha and Bruce Lincoln, Stratton's bewitching study presents a more nuanced, ideologically sensitive approach to understanding the witch in Western history.

Nancy learns that there are good reasons for all the rules; a life can depend on whether or not the least important rule is broken.

Nanoaerosols, Air Filtering and Respiratory Protection: Science and Practice (Occupational Safety, Health, and Ergonomics)
by Katarzyna MajchrzyckaRecent toxicological studies show that nanoparticles released in technological processes and combustion processes outside industry can be dangerous for humans especially when entering the body through the mouth and nose. In connection with the above, the use of adequately effective respiratory protection equipment is of great importance in prophylactic and preventive activities. The first part of Nanoaerosols, Air Filtering and Respiratory Protection: Science and Practice refers to the general phenomena of filtration described on the basis of the authors’ own experience and international reports. The book also includes a description of the respiratory system and principles of its functioning and the accumulation of aerosol particles. It goes on to discuss technological innovations regarding the production of filtering materials for protection against nanoparticles and the latest test methods. Finally, the book contains information about the proper selection and use of respiratory protective devices against airborne nanoparticles in the workplace and everyday life. Special attention is paid to proper fit procedures as well as use and maintenance activities of such devices. The content of the book with rich illustrative material has been presented so that it can be used by health and safety experts, students as well as employers, employees and private users of respiratory protective devices. "Through a comprehensive approach to the subject of the work, the authors present theoretical foundations as well as practical solutions that are used in the research and development of personal respiratory protection. The complementarity of the information contained in the book will allow the reader to become familiar with a wide range of knowledge related to the design and manufacture as well as assessment of properties and procedures for the use of respiratory protection against the adverse effects of aerosols, including air contaminated with nanoparticles and microparticles. In my opinion the book is a valuable part of the series Occupational Safety, Health, and Ergonomics: Theory and Practice, published by Taylor & Francis." —Maciej Boguń, ŁUKASIEWICZ – The Textile Research Institute, Łódź
Não É Só Sangue: Uma Conversa Sobre o Ciclo Menstrual
by Patrícia LemosO ciclo menstrual é reflexo da sua saúde. Aprenda o que o seu corpo lhe está a querer dizer. Além das questões menstruais, o livro ajudará as mulheres a compreender o importante conceito de literacia de corpo: que se traduz na capacidade de interpretarmos os sinais que o corpo nos dá e capacitar-nos no sentido de nos permitir tornarmo-nos uma autoridade nos nossos próprios assuntos. Porque é que precisa de um livro sobre ciclo menstrual? O mais provável é que seja diferente do que aquilo que lhe contaram. Para algumas pessoas, a menstruação é a chatice que aparece de quando em vez; para outras, não incomoda assim tanto. Mas para todas as pessoas que menstruam: o ciclo menstrual é informação. Patrícia Lemos, educadora para a saúde menstrual e fertilidade, ajuda-nos a compreender o nosso ciclo menstrual e a olhá-lo como um indicador de saúde, sempre — e não apenas quando se pensa em ter bebés. Neste livro, descobrirá que:· No ciclo menstrual, o mais importante é invisível aos olhos. · Ovular faz-nos falta, mesmo quando não queremos engravidar. · A expressão do período (cor, consistência, cheiro, duração) fornece pistas sobre a nossa saúde.· Num pico de fertilidade, as probabilidades de conceção são de cerca de 20% a 25% a cada ciclo. · A TPM tem tratamento, e não é suposto existir. · A síndrome dos ovários poliquísticos é uma condição crónica, não se cura com a pílula e não se diagnostica apenas com uma ecografia.· A endometriose é uma condição de saúde séria e estrogénio-dependente. · Infertilidade e subfertilidade são coisas distintas.

Napoleon Hill Collection
by Napoleon HillStart down your path to prosperity the right way--four essential books on wealth and self-improvement by Napoleon Hill for only $36.99! Napoleon Hill is considered by many to be the first and most important name in self-help and prosperity. Now, for the first time in one e-bundle, Tarcher/Penguin offers you his most important works on how to be the best you can be in one place, for one low price! Think and Grow Rich This book has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books, and which is so powerfully summarized in this one. In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on the life stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, consultant in human resources management, and an expert in applying Hill's thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires--such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton--achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers. Think Your Way to Wealth Returned to print after many years of unavailability, this book will open the doorway to a treasury of wisdom. Think Your Way to Wealth captures Napoleon Hill's initial encounter with Andrew Carnegie, who revealed the money-attracting strategy that Hill later popularized in classic books like Think and Grow Rich and The Law of Success. While working as a reporter for an inspirational magazine in 1908, Napoleon Hill chanced upon an opportunity that gave direction to his life. The young writer landed an interview with industrial giant Carnegie. Hill had just one key question for the magnate: What is the secret to your success? Carnegie's response electrified Hill and launched him on a lifelong mission to distill the steps to success into a clear, definite protocol that could be used by any motivated man or woman. Think Your Way to Wealth is Hill's vivid account of that seminal meeting. It captures Carnegie's initial advice, how-to's, practical steps, and concrete directions--all of which formed the basis for Hill's groundbreaking books and jumpstarted the field of business motivation. Originally published in 1948, Think Your Way to Wealth has been out of print and unavailable for many years. This new Tarcher Success Classics edition reproduces the complete, original text just as Hill first presented it. The dialogue between Hill and Carnegie represents an invaluable, irreplaceable playbook of success strategies that can change the life of any reader, just as they changed Hill's life that day. The Master Key to Riches The Master-Key to Riches is the blueprint that Napoleon Hill placed in the hands of those who would teach and perfect his success methods. Now revised and updated for the twenty-first century to avoid arcane language or points of reference, this book contains the full range of ideas and exercises that appeared in the original edition. In this volume, Hill covers lessons including: * The Law of Cosmic Habitforce * Andrew Carnegie's "Master Mind" Method * The Magic of Going the "Extra Mile" * The Twelve True Riches of Life The Magic Ladder to Success This book is the volume in which Napoleon Hill first distilled the seventeen factors that make up his "Law of Success" philosophy. These key principles capture the ethics and actions that empower all who harness them to become leaders in the field of their choice. Leaders are not born, Hill argues, they are molded by a remarkably similar, simple, and dynamic se...

Narrating Karma and Rebirth
by Naomi AppletonBuddhism and Jainism share the concepts of karma, rebirth, and the desirability of escaping from rebirth. The literature of both traditions contains many stories about past, and sometimes future, lives which reveal much about these foundational doctrines. Naomi Appleton carefully explores how multi-life stories served to construct, communicate, and challenge ideas about karma and rebirth within early South Asia, examining portrayals of the different realms of rebirth, the potential paths and goals of human beings, and the biographies of ideal religious figures. Appleton also deftly surveys the ability of karma to bind individuals together over multiple lives, and the nature of the supernormal memory that makes multi-life stories available in the first place. This original study not only sheds light on the individual preoccupations of Buddhist and Jain tradition, but contributes to a more complete history of religious thought in South Asia, and brings to the foreground long-neglected narrative sources.
