Alien Invasion Short Stories

Alien Invasion Short Stories

Patrick Parrinder

Flame Tree Publishing
2018
sidottu
Visitors from other planets have long obsessed us. H.G. Wells’ War of Worlds spawned a huge wave of speculative fiction but the roots of such fears run deep in our literature, where the mysteries of other cultures have long threatened the familiar and the comfortable. Did aliens build the ancient pyramids? do they live amongst us today? what happens when they invade? And are they just the people from the next valley? or country? or planet? Would it be an inevitable act of aggression, one of assistance and care, or simply a reminder of our paltry existence in a crowded universe? Flame Tree’s successful Gothic Fantasy series brings a brilliant new mix of classic and new writing, in this beautiful edition. New, contemporary and notable writers featured are: Bo Balder, Jennifer Rachel Baumer, Maria Haskins, Suo Hefu (???), Rachael K. Jones, Claude Lalumière, Rich Larson, Angus McIntyre, Stephen G. Parks, Sunil Patel, Laura Pearlman, Tim Pieraccini, Eric Reitan, John Walters, S.A. Westerley, and William R.D. Wood. These appear alongside classic stories by authors such as George Allan England, Austin Hall, H.P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt and H.G. Wells.

The Lost Abbey of Eynsham

The Lost Abbey of Eynsham

Steve Parrinder

Archaeopress
2019
nidottu
The Lost Abbey of Eynsham will be of interest not just to local historians but to those with an interest in the development of monasticism and medieval art and architecture, particularly the Romanesque. Eynsham was one of the few religious foundations in England in continuous use from the late Saxon period to the Dissolution. Its first Benedictine Abbot was the internationally renowned scholar and teacher, Aelfric, and it was frequently visited by medieval kings given its close proximity to the royal hunting lodge of Woodstock. Hugh of Avalon, later canonised, was appointed Bishop of Lincoln at a royal council at Eynsham in 1186. Shortly afterwards the abbey achieved fame with the Vision of the Monk of Eynsham which is said to have influenced Dante. Its reputation was further enhanced when Eynsham acquired an important relic, the arm of St Andrew in 1240. In the later Middle Ages, the abbey went into decline and was beset by scandal. It surrendered to the Crown in 1538 and the huge structure was gradually demolished and pillaged for its building materials. Now, nothing remains in situ above ground. This book aims to rescue this important abbey from obscurity by summarising its history and examining the material remains of Eynsham Abbey, most of which have never been published before.

Mysticism in the World's Religions

Mysticism in the World's Religions

Geoffrey Parrinder

nidottu
Aiming to provide clues to the diverse forms and expressions of mysticism, by considering some of the major religious traditions of both East and West, this book explores two principal areas. These are monistic mysticism (seeking self-identity or union with the All) and theistic mysticism (seeking communion, but not identity, with God). The search for the mystical through drugs, sex and visions is also discussed, as is the relationship of the expert to the ordinary seeker.

GUN CONTROL, DO WE NEED IT OR NOT? If there's one thing that alot of people around the world know about the USA it's that the people love guns. Depending on who you are this might be a source of pride; knowing that your country provides you with the ultimate freedom to preserve life and liberty. For others it's a source of shame that even while being the richest nation in the world, it doesn't come close to having the same level of gun control as many third world nations. This is where this book on gun control comes in. Here you will be given an insightful look into the world of firearms and gun control. Understanding the true nature of gun violence in the USA is as much about developing the ability to think about the statistics and society as it is determining whether we should be allowing people firearms or to take them away completely. How can we realistically reduce gun crime and stop headlines about another school shooting? Jump in and discover all about Gun Control right now

Cultural Differences between Germany and India

Cultural Differences between Germany and India

Claudia Peringer

AV Akademikerverlag
2012
pokkari
Revision with unchanged content. If two people from India and Germany do business together they may both behave 'normal' as a German or Indian would behave in a certain situation. Prob-lems will arise when Indian 'normality' deviates from what is con-sidered 'normal' in Germany because both behaviors may not be compatible. The book starts with general information about India that can be used as a basis for un-derstanding the Indian cultural standards. The best-known defi-nition of culture followed by a detailed explanation will lay the foundations for under-stan-ding the culture models by Hofstede and Hall. In the second half of the book critical interaction situations between Germans and Indians are exa-mi-ned utilizing the explained culture models. With each epi-sode the reader should gradually develop some understanding for the norms and values of the Indian culture. Practical Dos and Don'ts are listed at the end of the book. The aim of this training is to give people a first impres-sion of the different cul-ture before going to India. This book does not replace in-ter-cultural trai-ning seminars or orientation trips but it should make people sen-sitive to the In-dian culture and arouse interest for India and its inhabitants and is there-fore either considered as an access or a supplement to more com-plex in-ter-cul-tural training.

Psychology is one of the most fascinating fields of study. A field as broad as psychology, which stretches from the study of brain cells to that of prison cells, is an active, argumentative, and exciting adventure that offers opportunities in science, practice, and social policy. Most of the pressing economic and social issues of our generation, such as the environment, health needs, poverty, and violence, will only be alleviated if we understand the ways in which people create or creatively solve the problems that we bring upon ourselves. Psychological testing, assessment and treatment is the discipline of scientific psychology devoted to the study of a given human subject (or group of subjects) in a specific applied field (clinical, educational, work, etc.) by means of scientific tools (tests and other measurement instruments), with the purpose of answering clients' demands that require scientific operations such as describing, diagnosing, predicting, explaining or changing the behaviour of that subject. We hope this encyclopedia will provide useful information that will help psychologists, psychiatrists, counselor & others understand this fascinating field and its opportunities.
