Landscape, Nature, and the Sacred in Byzantium
Veronica Della Dora
Cambridge University Press
2021
pokkari
Nature is as much an idea as a physical reality. By 'placing' nature within Byzantine culture and within the discourse of Orthodox Christian thought and practice, Landscape, Nature and the Sacred in Byzantium explores attitudes towards creation that are utterly and fascinatingly different from the modern. Drawing on Patristic writing and on Byzantine literature and art, the book develops a fresh conceptual framework for approaching Byzantine perceptions of space and the environment. It takes readers on an imaginary flight over the Earth and its varied topographies of gardens and wilderness, mountains and caves, rivers and seas, and invites them to shift from the linear time of history to the cyclical time and spaces of the sacred - the time and spaces of eternal returns and revelations.
A Sense of Self: Memory, the Brain, and Who We Are
Veronica O'Keane
W. W. Norton Company
2022
nidottu
A twinge of sadness, a rush of love, a knot of loss, a whiff of regret. Memories have the power to move us, often when we least expect it, a sign of the complex neural process that continues in the background of our everyday lives. This process shapes us: filtering the world around us, informing our behavior and feeding our imagination.Psychiatrist Veronica O'Keane has spent many years observing how memory and experience are interwoven. In this rich, fascinating exploration, she asks, among other things: Why can memories feel so real? How are our sensations and perceptions connected with them? Why is place so important in memory? Are there such things as "true" and "false" memories? And, above all, what happens when the process of memory is disrupted by mental illness? O'Keane uses the broken memories of psychosis to illuminate the integrated human brain, offering a new way of thinking about our own personal experiences.Drawing on poignant accounts that include her own experiences, as well as what we can learn from insights in literature and fairytales and the latest neuroscientific research, O'Keane reframes our understanding of the extraordinary puzzle that is the human brain and how it changes during its growth from birth to adolescence and old age. By elucidating this process, she exposes the way that the formation of memory in the brain is vital to the creation of our sense of self.

Monsieur Hercule P.: can an immortal character die? No, he can't. This is the reason for this book, a fantasy thriller but very close to reality because a very thin line separates the difference between the knowledge of the secret of longevity and the determination of how much that is actually possible. It's the meeting of two different situations in two completely different places, which creates an interesting mingling between two worlds that are about to meet and reveal the most gripping of the stories. The subjects composing the tale are a lot for the many articulated and appealing knotting plots, which respect the characters' reality and psychology in the actual story, where everything happens. The message of the novel is perfectly up-to-date because based on actual events in a well-woven mix of plots catching the reader to the end. Will Monsieur P. accept to come back crossing that thin line?
