Sinopsis

"The Republic" is a Socratic dialogue, authored by the famed Greek Philosopher Plato around 375 BC, concerning justice, the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man. It is Plato's best-known work, and one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically. In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the meaning of justice and whether the just man is happier than the unjust man with various Athenians and foreigners. They consider the natures of existing regimes and then propose a series of different, hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis, a utopian city-state ruled by a philosopher-king. They also discuss the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society. The dialogue's setting seems to be during the Peloponnesian War.

    "As a major fan and promoter of Julian of Norwich, whom I call 'my favorite mystic', it is genuinely exciting to find such a faithful but freeing translation of Julian's long-lost Showings. Now they are no longer lost—for anyone!"—Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation 
     In this contemporary translation of one of the most beloved and influential mystical texts of all time, Julian of Norwich: The Showings brings the message and spirituality of this 14th-century mystic to 21st-century readers. Revelations of Divine Love, the first book published in English attributed to a woman, is also included.  
     Julian of Norwich, a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, was an English anchoress in East Anglia. At the age of 30, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions of Jesus, which she recorded and then expanded on later in her life. In her visions, God was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love, and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, man is not to blame for his sin; sin is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.  
     Her message for today's readers is simply this: 
    She reveals the feminine face of the Divine and reminds us to see God there.All our failings are an opportunity to learn and grow; they should be honored, but not dwelled upon.God's love has nothing to do with love and retribution and everything to do with love and compassion.In spite of all appearances, all is well. This book contains some of the most profound spiritual writing ever written and remains a perennial favorite among Christians. 
     This book was previously published as The Showings of Julian of Norwich. This new edition includes a foreword by Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upwards.

    We communicate constantly, not just through words but through a rich tapestry of unspoken cues. From the subtle flicker of an eyebrow to the unconscious shift in posture, our bodies are constantly broadcasting messages, often revealing more than consciously intended. 
    This book serves as a guide to understanding this complex and fascinating world of nonverbal communication. We will embark on a journey to unlock the secrets hidden within human interaction.  
    We will explore the evolutionary basis of nonverbal communication, tracing its origins back to our primal ancestors and examining how these innate cues continue to shape our interactions today. 
    We will delve into the significant role of culture in shaping body language, understanding how societal norms and individual experiences influence our expression and interpretation of nonverbal signals. We will examine the anatomy of nonverbal cues in detail, providing a comprehensive overview of facial expressions, posture, gestures, proxemics (the use of space), and paralanguage (vocal cues), each with their own nuanced meanings and power to reveal emotions, intentions, and social dynamics. We'll investigate the art of integrating verbal and nonverbal cues to achieve a deeper understanding of communication, and learn to detect those inconsistencies that might signal deception or underlying emotions. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, you will hone your observational skills, and ability to spot subtle clues others miss. 
    The book goes beyond simply identifying individual cues, guiding you to integrate these observations into a holistic understanding of behavior, fostering enhanced empathy and providing insights into the motivations and feelings behind nonverbal expressions. 
    Ultimately, the knowledge within this book equips you to navigate the intricacies of human interaction with newfound confidence and understanding, enriching your life by fostering stronger and more meaningful relationships.

    Tuscany's Noble Treasures -...

    In the Middle Ages, the region of Tuscany and its surrounding area was, for around 150 years, home to a surprising number of holy women, from the birth of Margaret of Cortona in 1247 to the death of Catherine of Siena in 1380, with the fourteenth century seeing the greatest of them. While Catherine of Siena has received worldwide recognition, women like Agnes of Montepulciano and Angela of Foligno have received little attention outside their homeland. Yet they and others are important figures in what is a largely unrecognised movement of Tuscan mystics. Their individual stories are enhanced by the efforts of artists and writers which all help to create a recognisable type of religious woman.
    
    
     
    This study looks first at the underlying influences on Tuscan mysticism, from the legend of St Katherine of Alexandria through to the celebration of women in the secular literature of the High Middle Ages and the effect of the emerging monastic orders. It examines the life and work of Tuscan holy women and focuses in particular on how they were perceived in their largely patriarchal contexts and by the artists, biographers and "men of God" who brought their own cultural assumptions to bear on the telling of their story. In consequence, the power that stemmed from their godly lives was to varying degrees undermined by some of the people closest to them and eroded by the church itself.
    
     
    This story of women alternately constrained and encouraged by their social contexts is one of individual struggles and collective achievement. Although the movement in Italy began to fade away after the death of Catherine of Siena, the mystic tradition would live on in other parts of Europe, where the experiences of holy women such as Margery Kempe or, later, Teresa of Ávila will have much in common with their Tuscan predecessors.
