Michel Leiris
This is the first full-length study in English of Michel Leiris's work. Frequently cited as a central figure in contemporary French culture, Seán Hand explores Leiris's participation in some of the most striking intellectual and artistic movements of the twentieth century; surrealism, ethnography and existentialism. Hand locates his writing in these different contexts in relation to the major artistic, political and philosophical concepts of the period. He goes on to argue that Leiris's multi-volume autobiography stands as the model form of self-enquiry in the twentieth century.
Dr. Edward Bach - Wie Blüten heilen: Die geistige Dimension der Bachblüten
Edward Bach erlangte weltweite Berühmtheit für die von ihm entdeckten und nach ihm benannten „Bachblüten“. Wenn diese heute in jeder Apotheke problemlos erhältlich sind, dann denken die wenigsten Käufer daran, welche faszinierende Geschichte hinter diesen Essenzen und hinter ihrem Entdecker steht. Gaye Mack, eine der besten Kennerinnen von Edward Bach, seinem Leben und seinem Werk, enthüllt in dieser umfangreichen Biographie die geistigen Tiefen des Begründers der „Bachblüten“. Sie erzählt von der Entdeckung der „Heilmittel“ und unter anderem von den Besonderheiten des Grundsets, das als die „Zwölf Heiler“ bekannt wurde. Bach war ein großer Kenner des esoterischen Denkens und schöpfte in vielen Phasen seines Lebens aus der „uralten Weisheit“. Möchte man den Mann und sein Werk wahrhaft tiefgründig verstehen, dann vermittelt diese biographische Studie das vollständige Hintergrundwissen.
The Struggle for Constitutional Justice in Post-Communist Europe
In the former Eastern Bloc countries, one of the most difficult and important aspects of the transition to democracy has been the establishment of constitutional justice and the rule of law. Herman Schwartz's wide-ranging book, backed with rich historical detail and a massive array of research, is the first to chronicle and analyze the rise and troubles of constitutional courts in this changing region. "Those who are interested in understanding the behavior of constitutional courts in transitional regimes cannot afford to ignore this important book. . . . [It] is fecund with hypotheses of interest to political scientists, and we are indebted to Professor Schwartz for his comprehensive analysis."—James L. Gibson, Law and Politics Book Review
German Practice in International Law: Volume 1
Customary international law is based on State practice. This book presents the international law practice of Germany, the world's fourth-largest economy and a powerhouse of the European Union. That practice makes an important contribution to the creation and development of customary international law. It is the first and only presentation in English of German practice in the field of international law. The 2019 volume also provides comprehensive coverage of Germany's membership of the United Nations Security Council. The book combines a case study approach, providing analysis and commentary on Germany's practice, with a classic digest of primary materials, including diplomatic correspondence, statements and court decisions. The book is an ideal complement to other compilations of international law practice and is an essential resource for scholars and practitioners of international law. It will also be of interest to scholars of international relations, politics and diplomatic studies.
Reassembling Motherhood
The word “mother” traditionally meant a woman who bears and nurtures a child. In recent decades, changes in social norms and public policy as well as advances in reproductive technologies and the development of markets for procreation and care have radically expanded definitions of motherhood. But while maternity has become a matter of choice for more women, the freedom to make reproductive decisions is unevenly distributed. Restrictive policies, socioeconomic disadvantages, cultural mores, and discrimination force some women into motherhood and prevent others from caring for their children. Reassembling Motherhood brings together contributors from across the disciplines to consider the ...
Anti-ageing Medicine
The 21st century technological development is revolutionizing medicine and health care, bringing new hopes to human suffering by offering cures and treatments which were unthinkable a few decades ago. This is where anti-ageing medicine finds its niche. Anti-ageing medicine aims at slowing, arresting, and reversing phenomena associated with ageing by merging biotechnological innovation and engineered solutions. Ideally, by means of the newest medical technology, the "body machinery" should be kept fit and at peak performance all life long. Early detection of age-related dysfunction should thus be "fixed" at any age with interventions such as metabolic fine tuning, enhancement, regeneration, r...
