"Dido: The Tragedy of a Woman" is the second play (the first being "The Tragedy of King Lewis the Sixteenth" Tate]) that has come from the pen of the New York author, David Lane, who has once more composed in blank verse and the traditional language of poetry that was used by virtually all poets from the time of Homer to those of the early twentieth century. The story is based on the amorous tale of Dido and Aeneas as told by Virgil in the Fourth Book of the "Aeneid." Dido is the Foundress and Queen of the Phoenician colony of Carthage, situated on the Mediterranean coast of Africa, where Providence has brought the far-wandering Aeneas, erstwhile Prince of Troy, from which he and a faithful band fled after its sack and destruction by the Greeks at the end of the Trojan War.Straight upon the arrival of Aeneas at the royal court, Dido falls in love with him, her love deepening as his piety and relative moral sense manifest themselves. Although he returns her love, his character in time ironically moves him to leave her, if reluctantly, in obedience to a long-standing decree by Jupiter, the supreme god of the Trojans, that Aeneas must travel to Italy and become the progenitor of the Romans. Mr. Lane has altered the story by introducing an unintended by-blow of the liaison as a tiny engine to propel the drama. Dido is torn between the selfish brutality of the Carthaginians and the enlightened civilization of the Trojans. Whether readers want to stage the play or simply read it as a story, Mr. Lane's exquisite book offers a rich and engaging poetic and dramatic experience.

A truly innovative gem of a book, Supervision in the Psychological Professions empowers psychologists in all fields to become highly skilled and successful in their application of supervisory processes and methods. As the psychological professions move toward mandating supervision, this book expertly bridges the gap between philosophy and practice. It offers a practical, accessible and conceptual approach for those wanting to hone their knowledge and skills in this increasingly important area. Inviting the reader to reflect on their own practice through reflective questions, case studies and exercises, Lane, Watts and Corrie skilfully highlight how the supervisor and supervisee can negotiate an effective relationship within agreed frameworks. Covering the new supervision regulation at local, national and international levels, this practical guide is a must have read for practitioners across psychological niches from forensic to mental health and from coaching to educational and industrial psychology.“In this useful text the many contributing authors thread their respective views together toward the development of a personalised and fit for purpose approach … A valuable and significant contribution to the field.”Marc Simon Kahn, author of Coaching on the Axis, Clinical Psychologist, Chartered Business Coach and Global Head of HR & OD for Investec, London, UK“This is a rich book that provides much food for thought about both giving and receiving supervision and it offers a sense of coherence whilst respecting diversity.” Sheelagh Strawbridge, Chartered Psychologist, Self-employed, UK“This book should be of great value and encouragement for psychologists currently engaging in supervision practice … It should also provide badly needed orientation and stimulation for professional and academic training settings".Michael Bruch, University College London, UK

The idea that the world is an illusion which betrays its real origin has a long tradition and can be found in the writings of Hindu rishis, early Greek philosophers, and Christian gnostics. What is perhaps surprising is to find such a rich literature on the subject in neuroscience and quantum physics. The latest, and perhaps most provocative, idea to gain some currency in varying scientific disciplines is the hypothesis that the universe is the result of a computational simulation and, as such, is an incredibly rich and detailed illusion which has ultimately tricked us into believing otherwise.
