Book Description
This is a collection of twenty-seven poems that run through varying themes of loss through death and the enjoyment of life. It offers a brooding philosophical engagement with the reader in some pieces; while in others, it elevates the imagination and moves beyond a purely physical experience. This transcendental quality is intricately woven into most of the poems. There is a delightful use of metaphor in many instances, like in the depiction of a bleeding sun and a frequent animation of nature. One will find a lot of somberness and sadness in some of the poems, but it also tells a story of renewal and hope.

Myriad Musings
Author: Rachna Singh
Publisher: Frog in Well
ISBN: 9789352016204
Category : Indic fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
'Myriad Musings' is a charming collection of reflections on varied hues of life. Rachna Singh has woven together different skeins of life in a thought-provoking compilation that amuses, inspires contemplation and at times elicits tears of sorrow. 'Motley Musings', the first section, is quirky and fun with its melange of unusual characters-the Rum Guzzlers, Sundari the runaway horse, the enchanting seductress in yellow and many others. 'Misty Musings' contemplates the inevitability of loss and paints touching vignettes of the plump and pretty Miss Alice, a traumatized Vasu crippled by the loss of a father, a dedicated violin teacher who has sacrificed his life at the altar of his Muse. 'Mangled Musings' is a tongue-in-cheek comment on the ills that have beset our society. 'Maidenly Musings' and 'My Trip Musings' are factual but fun to read.

Myriad Musings
Author: Renu Suri
Publisher: Partridge Publishing
ISBN: 1543707890
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
‘Without poetry we are doomed to half lives.’ A society without poetry is a society without dreams. This book is a bouquet of fragrant flowers with varied hues for lovers of poetry to enjoy. It is an array of bewildering emotions through simple and lucid language resonating the common feelings of all at deeper levels. Each poem underlines a unique inner grain – an utterance with a message. Just like a spider spins a web, I write because I believe that words have magic and touch the heartstrings like none other. Most of the poems begin in delight and end in wisdom, unfolding fresh fragrance as petals. Emotional upsurges find place in few, provoked by some incidents in life. Ordinary and mundane emotions have been woven into poetry reflecting contemporary issues. General apathy of the ‘high and mighty’ towards the masses, the evil faces of the society and the role of destiny are the chosen themes. Some of the poems are rich in lyrical beauty and appealing to the aesthetic sense. Poetry has the power to cut through the crap accumulated in our busy lives and touches us in different ways. It helps us enjoy the joys of the childhood by recalling and experiencing the guileless time, evoking both tears and laughter. My aim is to awaken the slow dying hearts of people of this digital era, using my mental and spiritual adventures. I might have missed the precision or technique but my purpose is pure and truthful.

Forensic Psychiatry
Author: Tom Mason
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1597450065
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
An international panel of experts from diverse specialties examine the idea of "evil" in a medical context, specifically a mental health setting, to consider how the concept can be usefully interpreted, and to elucidate its relationship to forensic psychiatry. The authors challenge the belief that the concept of "evil" plays no role in "scientific" psychiatry and is not helpful to our understanding of aberrant human thinking and behavior. Among the viewpoints up for debate are a consideration of organizations as evil structures, the "medicalization" of evil, destruction as a constructive choice, violence as a secular evil, talking about evil when it is not supposed to exist, and the influence of evil on forensic clinical practice. Among the highlights are a psychological exploration of the notion of "evil" and a variety of interesting research methods used to explore the nature of "evil."

Excavating Nations
Author: J. Laurence Hare
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442616962
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Excavating Nations traces the history of archaeology and museums in the contested German-Danish borderlands from the emergence of antiquarianism in the early nineteenth-century to German-Danish reconciliation after the Second World War. J. Laurence Hare reveals how the border regions of Schleswig-Holstein and Sønderjylland were critical both to the emergence of professional prehistoric archaeology and to conceptions of German and Scandinavian origins. At the center of this process, Hare argues, was a cohort of amateur antiquarians and archaeologists who collaborated across the border to investigate the ancient past but were also complicit in its appropriation for nationalist ends. Excavating Nations follows the development of this cross-border network over four generations, through the unification of Germany and two world wars. Using correspondence and site reports from museum, university, and state archives across Germany and Denmark, Hare shows how these scholars negotiated their simultaneous involvement in nation-building projects and in a transnational academic community.

A Companion to Enlightenment Historiography
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004251847
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 519
Book Description
A Companion to Enlightenment Historiography provides a survey of the most important historians and historiographical debates in the long eighteenth century, examining these debates’ stylistic, philosophical and political significance. The chapters, many of which were specially commissioned for this volume, offer a mixture of accessible introduction and original interpretive argument; they will thus appeal both to the scholar of the period and the more general reader. Part I considers Gibbon, Hume, Robertson, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Herder and Vico. Part II explores wider themes of national and thematic context: English, Scottish, French and German Enlightenment historians are discussed, as are the concepts of historical progress, secularism, the origins of historicism and the deployments of Greek and Roman antiquity within 18th century historiography. Contributors are Robert Mankin, Simon Kow, Jeffrey Smitten, Rebecca Kingston, Síofra Pierse, Bertrand Binoche, Donald Phillip Verene, Ulrich Muhlack, David Allan, Noelle Gallagher, François-Emmanuël Boucher, Sandra Rudnick Luft, Sophie Bourgault, C. Akça Ataç, and Robert Sparling.
