This book investigates the productive crosscurrents between visual culture and literary texts in the Romantic period, focusing on the construction and manipulation of the visual, the impact of new visual media on the literary and historical imagination, and on fragments and ruins as occupying the shifting border between the visible and the invisible. It examines a broad selection of instances that reflect debates over how seeing should itself be viewed: instances, from Daguerre's Diorama, to the staging of Coleridge's play Remorse, to the figure of the Medusa in Shelley's poetry and at the Phantasmagoria, in which the very act of seeing is represented or dramatized. In reconsidering literary engagements with the expanding visual field, this study argues that the popular culture of Regency Britain reflected not just emergent and highly capitalized forms of mass entertainment, but also a lively interest in the aesthetic and conceptual dimensions of looking. What is commonly thought to be the Romantic resistance to the visible gives way to a generative fascination with the visual and its imaginative--even spectacular--possibilities.

Fitness and lifestyle changes are not solely physical undertakings. Altering our habits and aspiring to new goals begins with a psychological approach, and an evaluation of what matters most. Our values and actions affect the way we grow and mold our lives, whether it involves our training routines, performance goals, or even nutritional habits. In fact, philosophy's enduring legacy lies in our attempts to understand the way we lead our lives, and can have a phenomenal impact on the way we apply modern self-help techniques. Calling on her experience as a coach, student of psychology, and advocate for some of philosophy's most popular and practical principles, Sophie Thomas wrote Fitlosophy to explain how philosophical thinkers can help us better understand what we value and to be more analytical and open-minded when it comes to our fitness journeys. When it comes to getting fitter, or even simply understanding the way we think about our goals, Sophie's coaching guidance based on psychological research and philosophical wisdom can help individuals find more meaning in their fitness routines and, by extension, their lives.
Come Along is an attempt to respond to the contemporary crises in the world with the intention of discovering the path to peace and happiness, which every human heart craves. Since they are seen as a consequence of being true to our human nature, answers to the perennial questions of philosophy are of paramount importance. And since the latter are rooted in and stem from the heart of reality, which from time immemorial has received irreconcilable interpretations, inquiry into reality is the major undertaking of this volume. Respondowska's study terminates in a system of thought. By discovering the truth of reality as well as the answers to the perennial questions regarding one's life on the one hand, and the reasons for the crises in our time on the other, those who struggle thus find the path that leads to genuine happiness

Although most strategic metal reserves are unlikely to run out over the coming decades the perception of scarcity of certain minerals and metals may lead to increased speculation and volatility in price and supply. Strategically important metals are vital to advanced manufacturing, low-carbon technologies and other growing industries and the Government should provide reliable information on potential resource risks in a coordinated and coherent way. The UK also exports large quantities of scrap metal and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), often to developing countries. This metal not only is a potential resource for the UK but it is also an example of the UK exporting its envi...
