Paradoxical Life: Meaning, Matter, and the Power of Human Choice
Andreas Wagner

Paradoxical Life: Meaning, Matter, and the Power of Human Choice

E£210.00

What can a fingernail tell us about the mysteries of creation? In one sense, a nail is merely a hunk of mute matter, yet in another, it’s an information superhighway quite literally at our fingertips. Every moment, streams of molecular signals direct our cells to move, flatten, swell, shrink, divide, or die. Andreas Wagner’s ambitious new book explores this hidden web of unimaginably complex interactions in every living being. In the process, he unveils a host of paradoxes underpinning our understanding of modern biology, contradictions he considers gatekeepers at the frontiers of knowledge.

    The Legends of the Jews Vol. 2 From Joseph to the Exodus The Legends of the Jews Vol. 2 From Joseph to the Exodus

    The Legends of the Jews Vol. 2 From Joseph to the Exodus

    E£535.00

    One of the masterworks of twentieth century Jewish scholarship was Louis Ginzberg's Legends of the Jews, or, more accurately, Legends of the Bible... For scholars, Ginzberg's book is a monumental work of research. But for the general reader, it is a gateway into a world, a world where the imagination roamed and the spirit was free... The Bible will never be the same for you again, if you do.

          The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting
          Alice Miller

          The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting

          E£160.00

          An examination of childhood trauma and its surreptitious, debilitating effects by one of the world's leading psychoanalysts.

          Never before has world-renowned psychoanalyst Alice Miller examined so persuasively the long-range consequences of childhood abuse on the body. Using the experiences of her patients along with the biographical stories of literary giants such as Virginia Woolf and Marcel Proust, Miller shows how a child's humiliation, impotence, and bottled rage will manifest itself as adult illness―be it cancer, stroke, or other debilitating diseases. Miller urges society as a whole to jettison its belief in the Fourth Commandment and not to extend forgiveness to parents whose tyrannical childrearing methods have resulted in unhappy, and often ruined, adult lives.
