Icelandic Magic: Practical Secrets of the Northern Grimoires
by Stephen E. FlowersA practical guide to the magical systems of pre-Christian Iceland • Reveals spells and workings drawn directly from surviving magical books from the 16th to 20th century preserved at the National Library in Reykjavík • Explores the history of magic in Iceland through original translations of Icelandic folktales about famous magicians and about legendary grimoires, such as the Galdrabók, the oldest and most complete book of its kind • Explains how to personalize the spells through the creation of unique signs and symbols based on the mythic names of Odin and Icelandic magical alphabets During the Christianization of Europe in the Middle Ages, many books of magic were lost as the ancient pagan traditions were suppressed. But in Iceland the practice of recording magical spells in books continued in secret for centuries, on a scale not seen elsewhere. Now housed in the National Library in Reykjavík, these surviving grimoires, which represent only a hundredth of what was lost, reveal a rich magical tradition that continued to evolve into the 20th century. Drawing directly from the actual surviving Icelandic books of magic, Stephen Flowers presents a complete system of magic based on Icelandic lore and magical practices from the 16th century onward. He explores the history of magic in Iceland in pagan and early Christian times and reveals specific practical techniques and ritual templates that readers can adapt to their unique purposes. Illustrating traditional Icelandic magical practices and the Icelanders’ attitudes toward them, he shares original translations of Icelandic folktales about famous magicians, such as the legend of Gray-Skin, and about legendary grimoires, such as the Galdrabók, the oldest and most complete book of its kind. After initiating the reader into the grammar and symbols of Icelandic magic through history and lore, Flowers then presents an extensive catalog of actual spells and magical workings from the historical Icelandic books of magic. These examples provide ready-made forms for practical experimentation as well as an exemplary guide on how to create signs and symbols for more personalized magical work. The author also includes guidance on creating unique magical signs from the 100 mythic names of Odin, which he translates and interprets magically, and from Icelandic magical alphabets, symbols that connect Icelandic magic to the ancient runic tradition.

I'd Rather Do Chemo Than Clean Out the Garage: Choosing Laughter Over Tears (I'd Rather Do Chemo Than Clean Out The Garage Ser.)
by Fran Di GiacomoAn inspiring and witty memoir by a woman battling cancer—with laughter.Fran Di Giacomo made it through one case of cancer at forty—then got hit with a worse case in her fifties. Tired of the somber, weepy books she kept getting from well-meaning friends, she stumbled upon a book that made her laugh out loud—and realized that was what she&’d been missing. Laughter felt good—and that was how she wanted to feel.Inspired, she wrote this unique memoir, an unsentimental, sharply funny take on her experience—including her favorite techniques for shamelessly exploiting the chemo lifestyle. She reveals the way that indulging her sense of humor not only kept her sane during the hardest moments, but also allowed her to continue her successful career as an artist, even through thirteen hospitalizations, ten surgeries, and constant chemotherapy. Her book is terrifically entertaining—as her oncologist warns in the foreword, you should avoid reading it in the immediate postoperative period due to the risk of popping a suture. It can also help other cancer patients, or anyone dealing with hardship, to cultivate a zesty enthusiasm for life and empower themselves to keep fighting.

La idea de ti: La vida tiene un plan y nunca es el que piensas
by Amaya AscunceEl regreso al mundo literario de Amaya Ascunce: autora superventas del fenómeno editorial Cómo no ser una drama mamá. Amaya Ascunce, directora de ELLE digital, y reportera de diferentes medios, como Elle o El Semanal, y autora superventas de Cómo no ser una drama mamá (30.000 ejemplares vendidos) nos trae un retrato veraz sobre cómo la vida no suele acabar siendo lo que esperas. «Yo publiqué dos libros de maternidad sin ser madre. Soñaba con ser escritora, tener una casa en la playa, un perro y vivir de mi éxito. En lugar de eso, me gasté la mayor parte de mis ahorros en tratamientos de fertilidad. Y así es como la vida me dijo: Nena, deja de creer que tienes el control. Este no es un libro de maternidad, ni de infertilidad, este es un libro sobre todo lo que creemos o esperamos de nosotros y de nuestra vida y de cómo revienta por los aires. Este es un libro sobre todas las veces que tuve que cambiar de opinión. Si todo va bien, y yo soy una persona que aprende, dentro de unos años, habré cambiado de opinión sobre la mitad de las cosas que cuento aquí. Ojalá tú también seas ese tipo de persona.» Un relato personal a la par que universal sobre las vueltas que da la vida, las expectativas que nos creamos y nos imponemos y cómo, a medida que crecemos, la vida nos hace cambiar de opinión.

Ideas and the Pace of Change
by Katherine BootheCanada is the only OECD country that has universal, comprehensive public hospital and medical insurance but lacks equivalent pharmaceutical coverage. In Ideas and the Pace of Change, Katherine Boothe explains the reasons for this unique situation. Using archival, interview, and polling data, Boothe compares the policy histories of Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia in order to understand why Canada followed a different path on pharmaceutical insurance.Boothe argues that pace matters in policy change. Quick, radical change requires centralized political institutions, an elite consensus, and an engaged, attentive electorate. Without these prerequisites, states are far more likely to take a slower, incremental approach. But while rapid policy change reinforces the new consensus, incremental progress strengthens the status quo, letting development stall and raising the bar for achieving change.An important contribution to the study of comparative political economy, Ideas and the Pace of Change should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand why health care reforms succeed or fail.
Ideas Triumphant: Strategies for Social Change and Progress
by Lawrence LaderThe intellectual spark that set off the flames of revolution in France and the United States was the same one that prompted a change in the way women viewed themselves and their role in society. Initially, the struggle for equal rights was meant to apply only to men but the strength of an ideal took hold and a movement was born. "Ideas Triumphant" is the history of the reproductive rights movement from its early roots in post-revolutionary France to the enormous strides made by reproductive rights activists in the twentieth century. As women began to take control of their reproductive choices they were able to make greater contributions to the world of finance, academics, and sciences. No longer beaten down and burdened with countless pregnancies and the accompanying high risk of death during childbirth, these women were able to contribute more to society and slowly dispel the myth of female inferiority. "Ideas Triumphant" follows a path of an enlightened thought from its revolutionary beginning to its current place in its continuing evolution. It looks at the important people and the events that lead to the success of an idea and the transformation of a culture.

Identity And Difference
by Etienne BalibarJohn Locke's foundational place in the history of British empiricism and liberal political thought is well established. So, in what sense can Locke be considered a modern European philosopher? Identity and Difference argues for reassessing this canonical figure. Closely examining the "treatise on identity" added to the second edition of An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Étienne Balibar demonstrates Locke's role in the formation of two concepts central to the metaphysics of the subject--consciousness and the self--and the complex philosophical, legal, moral and political nature of his terms.With an accompanying essay by Stella Sandford, situating Balibar's reading of Locke in the history of the reception of the Essay and within Balibar's other writings on "the subject," Identity and Difference rethinks a crucial moment in the history of Western philosophy.
