Book Description
En énergétique chinoise, l'organisme humain est considéré comme une entité fonctionnelle qui a une organisation identique à celle de l'univers : l'interaction dynamique des deux principes yin et yang crée un équilibre et une tendance vers une évolution. L'apparition des maladies est la conséquence d'un déséquilibre du yin et du yang et le traitement consiste à le restaurer. La santé n'est pas uniquement perçue comme la résultante d'échanges biochimiques, mais repose aussi sur un équilibre d'ordre énergétique. L'application pratique est très simple en réflexologie plantaire : selon le trouble de la personne, le praticien vérifie les zones réflexes des deux organes en correspondance avec le trouble. Cependant, dans cette simplicité, il va acquérir une dimension nouvelle en réflexologie. L'énergétique chinoise permet de mieux saisir ce qu'est la santé, ce qu'est la maladie et comment les déséquilibres évoluent. La réponse des tissus plantaires permet d'établir un pronostic souvent juste. Les réactions du patient aux traitements guident le réflexologue dans ses soins. Les manipulations de régulation, yinisantcs ou yanguisantes, catalysent les effets de la réflexologie. Après l'étude du yin et du yang et de leur utilité d'un point de vue santé, le lecteur trouvera une présentation des cinq éléments : Eau, Bois, Feu, Terre et Métal, avec leurs correspondances physiologiques et la définition des principales pathologies qui s'y rapportent. Des exemples pratiques, des études de cas, des tableaux et des schémas récapitulatifs rendent cette approche plus explicite.

Book Description
Watsuji Tetsuro's Rinrigaku (literally, the principles that allow us to live in friendly community) has been regarded as the definitive study of Japanese ethics for half a century. In Japan, ethics is the study of human being or ningen. As an ethical being, one negates individuality by abandoning one's independence from others. This selflessness is the true meaning of goodness.

Book Description
Pia Tafdrup is one of Denmark's leading poets, the winner of the Nordic Prize - Scandinavia's most prestigious literary award - for her collection Queen's Gate, published in English by Bloodaxe in 2001. This new translation of her work combines two more recent collections, The Whales in Paris and Tarkovsky's Horses, which comprise the first and second parts of a quartet written over ten years: the third and fourth parts are The Migrant Bird's Compass and Salamander Sun (published in English by Bloodaxe in 2015 as Salamander Sun and other poems).The poems of The Whales in Paris span the moment of conception to eternity. Life is seen as a confrontation with what is bigger than oneself: love, desire and death, primordial forces that are present even in our very modern civilisation. Those great forces of existence form the territory of The Whales in Paris: above all, desire and death, illuminated with motifs from childhood, the relation to parents, family, mythical figures from the Bible. Time, dreams and meditation also play their part.Pia Tafdrup writes: 'Tarkovsky's Horses is about loss in a double sense. The themes of the poems are my father's increasing forgetfulness, his loss of his faculties and then my loss of a father. The book is a poetic portrayal of the course of an illness for which science has few words - my father begins to suffer from dementia, and then he has to go into a nursing home, where he dies. Disintegration of identity and its inexorable progress are followed through every phase, in a concrete and naked form that makes use of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The poems about a father who forgets more and more are set in a border landscape which is also not without its comical aspects. The poems narrate the drama of what it is to be a human being.'

Book Description
London, December 1944. Emy hates India. 16 years ago, she had lost her parents there. And all of a sudden, the past beckons. Rather accidentally, Emy chances upon the personal diary of her mother Amélia, a resigned young woman, straight out of rigid Victorian England, confronted, through a strange India, with her own sexuality. January 1928. Amélia sets sail with Emy on the first ship to Bombay, to reunite with her husband Thomas, captain in the army at Khalapur, in Rajasthan. But the reunion leaves much to be desired. Thomas seems to have changed unless it is Amélia who cannot handle the suffocating heat of the Thar desert. Fortunately, there is Kenneth Lowther, Thomas’s friend, an atheist philosopher, who tries to explain to Amélia, the disconcerting India, its religion, costumes and the magnificence of its maharajas...
