Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the first book-length study of the cultural and political geography of squatting in Berlin, Alexander Vasudevan links the everyday practices of squatters in the city to wider and enduring questions about the relationship between space, culture, and protest. Focuses on the everyday and makeshift practices of squatters in their attempt to exist beyond dominant power relations and redefine what it means to live in the city Offers a fresh critical perspective that builds on recent debates about the “right to the city” and the role of grassroots activism in the making of alternative urbanisms Examines the implications of urban squatting for how we think, research and inhabit the city as a site of radical social transformation Challenges existing scholarship on the New Left in Germany by developing a critical geographical reading of the anti-authoritarian revolt and the complex geographies of connection and solidarity that emerged in its wake Draws on extensive field work conducted in Berlin and elsewhere in Germany

This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on a selection of Machiavelli’s literary pieces, among which are the Mandragola, Belfagor, the Vita di Castruccio, the Epistola, and the Pastorale. As research into literary motif, it raises, across five essays, new evidence on Machiavelli’s sources and suggestions as to where he drew from them (including the works of Livy, Virgil, and Boccaccio). Of the two other essays included, one intimates the way in which Shakespeare seems to have reappropriated Machiavelli’s Mandragola in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, in addition to Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale. The other is concerned with Mantegna’s Minerva Overcoming the Vices and proposes interpretative contexts for several of the painting’s iconographic details. This book will be of interest not only to those specialising in Machiavellian and Shakesperean literature, and the artwork of Mantegna, but also to those curious about how and why pre-Christian works have been drawn upon by subsequent Christian authors.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Food Allocation Based on Gender Starving Your Family, Just Because You Are Too Lazy to Feed Them… Comparisons are odious… But I Need to Get That Weight off… Lighten that plate The Necessity of Detoxification Toxic Artificially Flavored Foods and Slimming Shakes… Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Somebody asked me why I decided to write a book on why so many people out there, spend half of their lives obsessing about their weight, from an emotional and psychological perspective. I answered them that it was because a large number of my friends out there who were totally obsessed with weight, weight loss, weight gain, everything to do with weight, calories, body mass, body index, and now the latest silly weight concerning fad sweeping the 21st-century world – body image and body shaming kept asking me to write something about how to keep your weight under control, and once it was off, how to make sure that it kept off permanently. This book is going to tell you why you should not keep your weight under control, because you are naturally inclined to have one genetic body structure, coming from your ancestors, and based on your locality, your food eating habits, and also the amount of food you get through your lifetime. But as this is a matter which nobody is going to think about, because they would rather starve themselves and want to be size 0, like any person in the limelight, who is 20 years younger than they are, come from another different genetic background, and also has terrible eating habits, this statement of mine is not going to be very reassuring. Also, I am going to give you some easily assimilated rhymes and reasons, psychologically speaking, why people are so crazy about weight loss. Is it obsession with self, steeped in narcissism, or low self-image or self-esteem, or absolutely no sense of self-respect or individual identity. And the only way a person can prove to himself and to the people around him that he is someone to be recognized and to be counted is to do something drastic or look drastic, in order to hold the three second attention span of the people around him or her? You have a point here. And as you read, you are going to understand the rationale behind why people behave the way they do, especially in matters of body image, weight loss, weight gain, dieting, and other such matters. So you are going to say, why then did I buy this book if you are not going to tell me how to keep my weight under control, easily, systematically, consistently, and permanently. Is this a sell, no pun intended. For you, I am going to give you my reason, yes, this book is going to tell you how to do these things, but in between, I am going to keep telling you why you should not lose weight on the say-so of some person who is obsessed with body image, diet, starvation, malnutrition of your body and they could not care less whether your body is subject to lifestyle diseases brought about through malnutrition and a very bad diet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preoccupation with my own heart running rampant is the basis for this poetry book. Being vulnerable is a facet of life that makes many individuals apprehensive and have difficulty discussing. Rather than wallowing in that shame or pity, one can find redemption. One can be renewed. Change is feasible and possible. These poems seek to advocate in finding one’s sense of self while navigating through love’s perils no matter how daunting the challenge. Along with kindred memories from chapters throughout my personal life, you will be able to grow in interconnectedness in the human plight and have the courage to change familial woes.

Book excerpt: It would be impossible for most of us to spend a day without coming into direct or indirect contact with dozens of people family, friends, people in the street, at the office, on television, in our fantasies and fears. Our relationships with others are the most changeable, infuriating, pleasurable and mystifying elements in our lives. Personality types, based on the ancient system of the Enneagram, will help you to enjoy more satisfying and fulfilling relationships in all areas of your life by introducing you to the nine basic personality types inherent in human nature. This knowledge will help you better understand how others think and why they behave as they do, as well as increasing your awareness of your own individual personality. Written by the leading world authority on the Enneagram, it offers a framework for understanding ourselves and those around us, as well as a wealth of practical insights for anyone interested in psychology, counselling, teaching, social work, journalism and personal management.
