The Mirror and the Mask
Author: Ellen Hart
Publisher: Minotaur Books
ISBN: 1429988738
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Ellen Hart was named the 2017 MWA Grand Master, the most distinguished lifetime achievement award offered in the mystery community. Minneapolis restaurateur Jane Lawless is at crossroads. The rough economy has put her plans for a third restaurant on hold, and her long distance romance is on the rocks and quite possibly unsalvageable. Unsure of what to do next, she takes her good friend A. J. Nolan up on his standing offer to take her on as a private investigator. While still in training, her first job seems simple enough. All she had to do is find Annie Archer's stepfather. Jane tracks down a likely match—a man who has made a small fortune in real estate. While she's happy to close her first case, she finds it hard to reconcile the difference between PI work—finding what people pay you to find—and uncovering the truth, the whole truth, especially when clues in this seemingly simple case point to more threatening family secrets than where Annie's father has been hiding out. Ellen Hart's The Mirror and the Mask is another engrossing mystery filled with the deceit and psychological intrigue that fans have come to expect from this Lambda and Minnesota Book Award--winning author and MWA Grand Master.

An Anthropological Guide to the Art and Philosophy of Mirror Gazing
Author: Maria Danae Koukouti
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350135178
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Looking at one's face in the mirror and finding one's self in the mirror are not the same. The former capacity is something we share with other animals; the latter is a skill: something we have to learn. What does it mean and what does it take to find oneself the mirror? This book provides a comparative anthropological enquiry into the unity and diversity of mirror gazing. The reader is encouraged to reflect upon and experiment with different mirror gazes through a range of case studies. Koukouti and Malafouris weave together anthropology with philosophy and draw on examples from literature and experiments from psychopathology in a way that has never been attempted before. The master metaphor is that of the mirror as trap. Mirror gazing is viewed on a par with hunting. Mirroring signifies the hunt for self-knowledge. In a time obsessed with the digital self-image, Koukouti and Malafouris reflect on the structures of consciousness that underpin the different ways of looking at and through the mirror. Combining metaphor, comparison and estrangement, they gesture towards a therapeutic alliance between body and mirroring. This allows us to look in the mirror, and think of our shared humanity differently.

From Never-Mind to Ever-Mind
Author: Robert Rosenthal MD
Publisher: Gildan Media LLC aka G&D Media
ISBN: 172252118X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Dr. Bob Rosenthal has been a student and teacher of A Course in Miracles for over forty years. As co-president of the Foundation for Inner Peace, he recognized the need for a series of books that could help those who have heard of the Course and feel drawn to it, but may need a leg up to get started. In this, the rst book of the series, Dr. Rosenthal approaches the Course from an entirely fresh perspective. Using common sense wisdom and sharing from his own experience as both a psychiatrist and Course student, he unpacks the core elements of the Course’s teaching in a clear and comprehensible manner. If you’ve only heard of A Course in Miracles and are curious about what it says, or if you’ve tried to study it but given up, then this book will be a big help. If you’re already a dedicated Course student, you will appreciate Dr. Rosenthal’s contribution even more. You will emerge with a better grasp of the Course’s central principle: I am one Self, united with my Creator.

The Aesthetics of Failure
Author: Zander Brietzke
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786483113
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Critic Clive Barnes once called Eugene O’Neill the “world’s worst great playwright” and Brooks Atkinson called him “a tragic dramatist with a great knack for old-fashioned melodrama.” These descriptions of the man can also be used to describe his work. Despite the fact that O’Neill is the only American playwright to win the Nobel Prize for Literature and his last works are some of America’s finest, most of his published works are not good. This work closely examines how O’Neill’s failures as a playwright are inspiring and how his disappointments are reflections of his own theory that tragedy requires failure, a theory that is evident in his work. Conflicts in O’Neill’s plays are studied at the structural level, with attention paid to genre, language or dialogue, characters, space and time elements, and action. Included is information about O’Neill’s life and a chronological listing of all of his 50 plays with basic details such as production history, principal characters, dramatic action, and a brief commentary.

Narrating the Past
Author: Nandita Batra
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527568539
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Narrative constitutes an integral part of human existence, being omnipresent in our ordering of the world and the ways in which we transmit both knowledge and experience. Narrative construction has challenged the supremacy of empirical fact and has questioned our ability to know the past Aas it really was. Examining a wide range of texts, from ancient Greece and medieval Britain to contemporary America, Asia, Australia, Britain and the Caribbean, the essays in this volume address the inconsistencies in master narratives to reveal that all representations of the past, like knowledge, are situated.
