Book Description
This workbook is an anthology of sorts; and by compiling it, I am simply a guide or Sherpa if you will, bringing you gathered knowledge from all over which I hope will make this trek into the wilderness easier, more effectual, and productive. I wish anyone reading this to realize I am NOT trying to assume the role of an authority figure or scholar. I do not intend to become your 'teacher', as much as I am simply your guide. I view myself as a Sacred Sherpa, because I know this trail well, and I vow while you are under my care that I will show you the trails that I have found best for ease of travel. I will show you how to make fire, gather food, and make shelter, as you fare forth. I will even carry your gear and administer first aid along the trail up the mountain, if that's what you require. But the most assured way to have a successful expedition is through the troop with whom we are exploring. Your climbing partners-including the many voices of wisdom which have come before me, as an anthologist-are just as crucial as your Sherpa. The Gods of Old encourage everyone to Take the Edda's and the Sagas, with all the lore of the ancients and our Ancestors and make them their own; by reading them, telling them, and then visiting all the 9 Worlds, while getting to know some of the beings who reside there. Hail to my Seiðr and Völva kith, who have viewed Yggdrasil in time honored ways, then brought those visions back to aid our Kindred. I am honored to have been blessed with a glimpse of those places; and to report back what I have found.

Book Description
This accessible study of Northern European shamanistic practice, or seidr, explores the way in which the ancient Norse belief systems evoked in the Icelandic Sagas and Eddas have been rediscovered and reinvented by groups in Europe and North America. The book examines the phenomenon of altered consciousness and the interactions of seid-workers or shamanic practitioners with their spirit worlds. Written by a follower of seidr, it investigates new communities involved in a postmodern quest for spiritual meaning.

Book Description
This is a self-contained monograph on human voice. It systematically expounds a theory of voice production initiated by Leonhard Euler, through an analysis of large amount of human voice data, especially simultaneously acquired voice signals and electroglottograph signals, as well as temporal variations of pressures directly below and above the vocal folds. Its contents include the physics and physiology of human voice production, parametrical representations of voice signals, and technology applications. Background knowledge on general acoustics and mathematical tools pertinent to quantitative descriptions of human voice are explained in detail.Readers of this monograph include researchers, practitioners and students in the fields of physiology and medicine, acoustics, computer science, telecommunication, acoustic phonetics, and vocal music.

Book Description
Renowned philosopher and cultural theorist Kristeva (Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection) offers an extended consideration of artistic figurations of the severed head, the organizing theme to an exhibition she coordinated at the Louvre in 1998. Though she follows a single historical trajectory, moving from Paleolithic skull cults to antique Greek sculpture to the Surrealist drawings, Kristeva eschews the disciplinary constraints of art history, instead employing psychoanalysis to explore the intertwined problems of representation and mortality posed by the severed head. For Kristeva, the capacity to figure the life of the mind first requires a confrontation with this horrific object that stands at the boundary between life and death, registering not only the loss of corporeal form but also subjective interiority. Though this book does not engage with recent images of decapitation, it is not without contemporary political-cultural import; for Kristeva, these cruel artistic figurations offer us the capacity to contemplate the sacred within a technology-driven contemporary visual culture. Verdict While a challenging text, this beautifully written and richly layered meditation on mortality and representation will undoubtedly appeal to those readers interested in semiotic and psychoanalytically informed readings of art.-Jonathan Patkowski, CUNY Graduate Ctr.(c) Copyright 2012.

Book Description
This book is dedicated to the exploration of living as the highest form of art. When the moon is at its fullest, it is referred to as sixteen celestial degrees. Seen from earth, it brightens the night sky as the sun illuminates its entire surface. When the human soul is full, it is complete with all virtues and shines like the full moon reflecting the light of the Spiritual Sun (God). In this state of completeness, everything we do, think and say is perfectly balanced and living becomes an art. Although as human beings we have excelled in numerous forms of art, we are still seeking to learn the art of living.

Book Description
Art interprets the visible world. Physics charts its unseen workings. The two realms seem completely opposed. But consider that both strive to reveal truths for which there are no words––with physicists using the language of mathematics and artists using visual images. In Art & Physics, Leonard Shlain tracks their breakthroughs side by side throughout history to reveal an astonishing correlation of visions. From the classical Greek sculptors to Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, and from Aristotle to Einstein, artists have foreshadowed the discoveries of scientists, such as when Monet and Cezanne intuited the coming upheaval in physics that Einstein would initiate. In this lively and colorful narrative, Leonard Shlain explores how artistic breakthroughs could have prefigured the visionary insights of physicists on so many occasions throughout history. Provicative and original, Art & Physics is a seamless integration of the romance of art and the drama of science––and an exhilarating history of ideas.
