Anatomy Trains
An accessible comprehensive approach to the anatomy and function of the fascial system in the body combined with a holistic.
Art as experience of the living body / L’art comme experience du corps vivant
This book analyses the dynamic relationship between art and subjective consciousness, following a phenomenological, pragmatist and enactive approach. It brings out a new approach to the role of the body in art, not as a speculative object or symbolic material but as the living source of the imaginary. It contains theoretical contributions and case studies taken from various artistic practices (visual art, theatre, literature and music), Western and Eastern, the latter concerning China, India and Japan. These contributions allow us to nourish the debate on embodied cognition and aesthetics, using theory–philosophy, art history, neuroscience–and the authors’ personal experience as artist...
Fascia – What It Is, and Why It Matters, Second Edition
The second edition of Fascia: What It Is and Why It Matters, the first being the "must-have" book for everyone wanting to learn more about fascia as a tissue and a system, maintains the high standard of the first book while expanding on everything that made it so popular. By focusing first on the fundamentals of fascia as a tissue that surrounds, supports, and permeates all the muscle, bones, nerves, and organs, Lesondak takes the reader on a journey throughout their entire body from the perspective of the fascial system, making many stops along the way to make sure the reader understands what it is that's important and why it matters to the body. From the new rules of biomechanics, biotensegrity, cellular processes, musculoskeletal issues, proprioception, neuroscience and cognition, somatic dysfunction, and restoration-Lesondak deftly weaves it all together with a deep appreciation for the history of science, fine storytelling sensibilities, and a sense of humor as well as a sense of wonder.

So many people asked, in fact, that she produced a small guide filled with advice, which she gave out for free. Requests for more information and other cities came pouring in. Abrams is now making Sabas’s Paris and New York guides available to everyone, with expa...

Der "jüdisch-christliche" Dialog veränderte die Theologie
Veränderte der „jüdisch-christliche“ Dialog die Theologie? Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge belegen eindeutig einen theologischen Paradigmenwechsel in den Jahrzehnten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Evangelische, katholische und jüdische Expertinnen und Experten aus unterschiedlichen theologischen Fachrichtungen wie der alt- und neutestamentlichen Bibelwissenschaft, der Liturgiewissenschaft, der feministischen und systematischen Theologie sowie der Judaistik zeichnen den Wandel von antijüdischer Polemik hin zu einem respektvollen Dialog mit dem Judentum facettenreich nach. Der vorliegende Band gibt zudem Einblick in die biografische Entwicklung der involvierten Forschenden und bietet damit ein Stück reflektierter Theologiegeschichte.

Der Autor geht der Frage nach, was mit den Menschen geschieht, die in Deutschland dauerhaft als vermisst gelten. Er findet darauf eine verstörende Antwort, die niemanden kalt lassen wird. Er erzählt eine Geschichte, die tief in menschliche Abgründe führt.
Im Bett mit der Macht
Die Erotik der Macht und die Macht der Erotik werden nicht selten als naturgegebene und zeitlose Phänomene betrachtet. Mächtige waren und sind wohl stets anziehend, und daher stehen Erotik und Macht seit jeher in einem spannungsreichen Verhältnis, sind aufeinander bezogen und miteinander verknüpft. Zehn österreichische Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler werfen in diesem Sammelband nicht nur kulturgeschichtliche Blicke in die herrschaftlichen Schlafgemächer von Kleopatra, Tschinggis Khan und anderen historischen Persönlichkeiten und beleuchten Heirat und Ehe an Fürstenhöfen Europas und Asiens. Sie thematisieren auch Fragen nach Sitte und Scham, Intimität und Kontrolle im Spiegel von Sexualität und Repräsentation.
