Ennen syntymä astrologiassa palataan syntymästä taaksepäin katsomaan mitä käännekohtia tapahtuu ennen kuin lapsi on valmis maailmaan. Kirjassa puhutaan uudesta kuusta ennen syntymää, auringonpimennyksestä ennen syntymää ja erityisesti pimennyksen Saros-jakson merkityksestä. Kaikki ne luovat pohjaa tulevalle syntymälle ja valaisevat maailmaan tulemisen ehtoja. Lisäksi kirjassa on yleinen johdatus auringonpimennyksiin astrologian kannalta. Uusia tuulia tarvitaan astrologiassa ja ennen syntymä astrologia eli prenataalinen astrologia tarjoaa sellaisia mietittäväksi ja sovellettavaksi normaaliin kartan tulkintaan.
This is the first comprehensive study in English of Japanese names - their history and evolution, and ontological implications. Its main purpose is to understand the development of the nomenclature in its religious (animistic) and socio-political contexts. We learn, for example, how belief in the animistic-symbolic property of names developed into extensive taboos and, in connection with these taboos, into the custom of revealing names in case of marriage or territorial surrender. Whereas private (religious) use of surnames was tolerated, commoners without public functions were prohibited from public use of surnames. In the Meiji period (1868-1912), on the other hand, the government enforced the universal registry of surnames to conform with its policy of universal conscription, education, taxation and the postal service. The book will be of particular interest to students of Japan and Japanese nomenclature. It will also appeal to the general reader drawn to learning more about Japan by looking at its history, religion and culture through the names of its people.
Nuori mies on nähnyt lapsesta saakka outoja unia. Unissa hän kulkee tyystin vieraassa ympäristössä ja näkee asioita, joita ei ole hereillä ollessaan nähnyt. Vanhemmat pelkäävät pojan olevan sairas tai hysteerinen. Pikkuhiljaa poika alkaa kuitenkin ymmärtää, että unien kautta hän pääsee seikkailemaan menneeseen maailmaan. Unet vievät hänet keskelle esihistoriallista aikaa – aikaa, jolloin ruoka hankittiin keihäillä ja kodin virkaa ajoivat luolat. Onko kyseessä pojan entinen elämä? Jack London (1876–1916) syntyi San Franciscossa. 15-vuotiaasta saakka hänen oli selvittävä omillaan huonosti palkatuissa töissä, kuten kullankaivajana Pohjois-Amerikan erämaassa. Myöhemmin London palasi takaisin Kaliforniaan ja alkoi työskennellä lehtimiehenä ja kirjailijana. Lyhyeksi jääneen elämänsä aikana Londonista tuli sekä rikas että kuuluisa Yukon-aiheisilla romaaneillaan, kuten Erämaan kutsu (1903) ja Susikoira (1906).

Japanese folk performing arts incorporate a body of entertainments that range from the ritual to the secular. They may be the ritual dances at Shinto shrines performed to summon and entertain deities; group dances to drive away disease-bearing spirits; or theatrical mime to portray the tenets of Buddhist teachings. These ritual entertainments can have histories of a thousand years or more and, with such histories, some have served as the inspiration for the urban entertainments of no, kabuki and bunraku puppetry. The flow of that inspiration, however, has not always been one way. Elements taken from these urban forms could also be used to enhance the appeal of ritual dance and drama. And, in time, these urban entertainments too came to be performed in rural or regional settings and today are similarly considered folk performing arts. Professor Terence Lancashire provides a valuable introductory guide to the major performance types as understood by Japanese scholars.
Quantitative Studies of the Renaissance Florentine Economy and Society is a collection of nine quantitative studies probing aspects of Renaissance Florentine economy and society. The collection, organized by topic, source material and analysis methods, discusses risk and return, specifically the population’s responses to the plague and also the measurement of interest rates. The work analyzes the population’s wealth distribution, the impact of taxes and subsidies on art and architecture, the level of neighborhood segregation and the accumulation of wealth. Additionally, this study assesses the competitiveness of Florentine markets and the level of monopoly power, the nature of women’s work and the impact of business risk on the organization of industrial production.

The first part of David Nicholas's massive two-volume study of the medieval city, this book is a major achievement in its own right. (It is also fully self-sufficient, though many readers will want to use it with its equally impressive sequel which is being published simultaneously.) In it, Professor Nicholas traces the slow regeneration of urban life in the early medieval period, showing where and how an urban tradition had survived from late antiquity, and when and why new urban communities began to form where there was no such continuity. He charts the different types and functions of the medieval city, its interdependence with the surrounding countryside, and its often fraught relations with secular authority. The book ends with the critical changes of the late thirteenth century that established an urban network that was strong enough to survive the plagues, famines and wars of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
