SuperVisions by Dr. Dorothy Mead and Michael Kovitz is a novel that explores the intersection of modern Western psychology and the teachings and metaphysics of the East. (From the Latin super, 'over', and vidêre, 'to watch, or see'.) We are born with a map, but we quickly forget. "children guessed (but only a few and down they forgot as up they grew)." - e.e cummings. And so we learn to rely on the guidance from others whom we presume, we trust, we hope, have a wiser vision. These people influence us, and in turn we influence others. But where does it leave us? Where does it all lead? These are the questions weaving throughout the tale of SuperVisions.

Dr Anderson's states that he found much to applaud in the handling of the 2007 outbreak along with some deficiencies, but states the p...
An examination of the ways in which the fluid concept of "chivalry" has been used and appropriated after the Middle Ages. One of the most difficult and complex ethical and cultural codes to define, chivalry has proved a flexible, ever-changing phenomenon, constantly adapted in the hands of medieval knights, Renaissance princes, early modern antiquarians, Enlightenment scholars, modern civic authorities, authors, historians and re-enactors. This book explores the rich variations in how the Middle Ages were conceptualised and historicised to illuminate the plurality of uses of the past. Using chivalry as a lens through which to examine concepts and uses of the medieval, it provides a critical ...
