Baby in Sync Thorpe Miranda

Miranda Thorpe, an experienced psychotherapist and grandmother, offers us a unique book about a valuable parenting skill that is rapidly being lost around the world. The simple technique of early and gentle toilet training (Elimination Communication) is a traditional method of using observation, timing, sounds, and intuition with minimal use of nappies (diapers). This 'dance' between the caregiver and baby results in a stronger 'in sync' bond that then helps the baby to become more in tune with their own body and feelings. Miranda reveals how this early toilet training practice is an invaluable key to deeper and healthier relationships. In this important book she integrates the physical, emotional, environmental, and psychological facets of this fascinating

King and Messiah Bentzen Aage

A fascinating glimpse into the debate in Scandinavia concerning a number of inter-related Biblical themes focused on the concept of the Messiah, a debate associated with scholars such as Mowinckel, Pedersen, Widengren, and Bentzen himself. The argument traces the development of the Messianic figure from its Old Testament roots, starting with the Messiah of many of the Psalms, which represents a demythologised form of the Oriental conception of kingship, through the eschatologised Messiah of the prophetic thought of Isaiah and Micah, and then to the prophet-Messiah of Second Isaiah, which although still a present and entirely human figure, embodies the insight that the saviour of Israel must suffer and be cast in the role of a "Moses Redivivus" as leader of a new Exodus. The Son of Man of Daniel 7 carries this eschatologising process even further, until the Christology of the New

The Red Dream: The Chinese Communist Party and the Financial Deterioration of China Walter Carl E.

In just 20 years China has become the second-largest economy in the world. Xi Jinping's China Dream appears to be that he intends to make it the most powerful as well. The Red Dream: The Chinese Communist Party and the Financial Deterioration of China looks at this achievement and the past 40 years of China's history from a financial viewpoint. It asks how in just the last 20 years China has risen to such prominence. The answer is similar to answers for other countries: it borrowed the money just as it borrowed some of the technology. In China, borrowing is endemic from the start of the reform era in 1978. It began with local governments having their budgets deliberately underfunded by Beijing. Over time this rendered not just local governments but also state enterprises highly vulnerable to those that had capital: real estate developers and foreign multinationals.

The Spirit of Digital Capitalism Huberman Jenny

Digital technologies are now central to the machinations of capitalism. How are they giving rise to new forms of capital accumulation and domination? And in what terms are these changes being promoted and justified by a new and incredibly powerful elite?This book takes on such questions. Beyond demonstrating how digital technologies make new forms of capital accumulation possible, Huberman interrogates the ideological transformations that have accompanied the emergence of digital capitalism. She examines how business gurus, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists make claims about how digital technologies contribute to the common good, foster collaboration and connectivity, and render life more convenient, even if this convenience comes at the expense of values such as privacy and liberty. Ultimately, Huberman argues that the spirit of digital capitalism is Janus-faced and

Fifty Mysterious Postcards: Pitman Shorthand Messages from the Golden Age of the Postcard Baird Kathryn

Pitman Shorthand was developed by Sir Isaac Pitman from 1837 and became the most popular shorthand system in Britain. Many travelers adopted it to send complex messages, whether to maximize available writing space or avail themselves of the secrecy it afforded. This beautifully designed book presents fifty postcards from the golden age of the postcard, each with a message written in Pitman Shorthand. The rules of Pitman have changed since these postcards were written, and Kathryn Baird's careful transcription has unlocked these mysterious old messages, written between 1901 and 1917: stories of penfriends, sweethearts, holidays and the First World War. This nostalgic and poignant record captures a dying
