Una invitación a conectarte con la naturaleza: los baños de bosque. Vivimos abstraídos en ciudades, escenarios urbanos y paisajes grises.…
Con el paso del tiempo, hemos olvidado el impacto que nos puede causar la ausencia de naturaleza. Álex Gesse nos invita a probar los baños de bosque, una técnica japonesa que nos ayuda a reconectar con la naturaleza y con sus efectos beneficiosos para el cuerpo y el espíritu. En este libro, el autor -guía experimentado en baños de bosque- nos relata una veintena de experiencias reales de shinrin-yoku, que han de servir de inspiración e ilustración de lo que podemos encontrarnos en un viaje al interior del bosque, un paseo relajado, sin prisa, sin presiones, como una pausa extraordinaria fuera de nuestra rutina, y que nos conducirá a reencontrarnos con nosotros mismos. Además, nos dice, podemos buscar la naturaleza y su poder sanador allí donde estemos: en la oficina, en casa, en las calles de nuestra ciudad... Allí donde más lo necesites. «Todos tus sentidos están para ser despertados, para conectarte con el bosque, y cuando se liberan, las emociones se despiertan, las conversaciones se desenvuelven y un nuevo mundo surge a tu alrededor, permitiéndote encontrar la armonía con el bosque y, en definitiva, hallar tu equilibrio interior.»Par John Pfordresher, Carl Dawson. 1995

The turn of the nineteenth century marked a rich and exciting explosion of philosophical energy and talent. The enormity of…
the revolution set off in philosophy by Immanuel Kant was comparable, by Kant's own estimation, with the Copernican Revolution that ended the Middle Ages. The movement he set in motion, the fast-moving and often cantankerous dialectic of `German Idealism', inspired some of the most creative philosophers in modern times: including G.W.F. Hegel and Arthur Schopenhauer as well as those who reacted against Kant - Marx and Kierkegaard, for example.This volume traces the emergence of German Idealism from Kant and his predecessors through the first half of the nineteenth century, ending with the irrationalism of Kierkegaard. It provides a broad, scholarly introduction to this period for students of philosophy and related disciplines, as well as some original interpretations of these authors. Each chapter is written by a distinguished scholar in the field. A glossary of technical terms together with a chronological table of philosophical, scientific and other important cultural events are provided.Par Donald A. Low. 1993

all Burns' known songs, both `polite' and bawdy. The Songs of Robert Burns were, in their author's eyes, the crown of his achievement as a poet. After years of study and investigation, many hours spent listening to old airs, as he recalled the living, daily, song-life of the people of Scotland, and through the creation of some of the finest lyric poetry produced in the British Isles, Burns' success is beyond doubt.Par Professor Greville Corbett, Professor Bernard Comrie. 1993

extinct languages - Old Church Slavonic and Polabian. In addition, the various alphabets of the Slavonic languages - particularly Roman, Cyrillic and Glagolitic - are discussed, and the relationships of the Slavonic languages to other Indo-European languages and to one another, are explored. The last chapter provides an account of those Slavonic languages in exile, for example, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech and Slovak in the USA.Each language-chapter is written by an expert in the field, in a format designed for comparative study. Information on each language includes: an introductory description of social context and development (where appropriate); a discussion of phonology; a detailed presentation of synchronic morphology, noting major historical developments; comprehensive treatment of syntactic properties; a discussion of vocabulary; an outline of main dialects; and an extensive bibliography, listing English and other sources.Par Teresa Ferster Glazier, Paige Wilson. 2012

Why were the Victorians so passionate about "History"? How did this passion relate to another Victorian obsession – the "woman question"?…
In a brilliant and provocative study, Christina Crosby investigates the links between the Victorians’ fascination with "history" and with the nature of "women." Discussing both key novels and non-literary texts – Daniel Deronda and Hegel’s Philosophy of History; Henry Esmond and Macaulay’s History of England; Little Dorrit, Wilkie Collins’ The Frozen Deep, and Mayhew’s survey of "labour and the poor"; Villette, Patrick Fairburn’s The Typology of Scripture and Ruskin’s Modern Painters – she argues that the construction of middle-class Victorian "man" as the universal subject of history entailed the identification of "women" as those who are before, beyond, above, or below history. Crosby’s analysis raises a crucial question for today’s feminists – how can one read historically without replicating the problem of nineteenth century "history"? The book was first published in 1991.
