![]() ![]() Author: Harrison Jane Ellen; Armati A. (cur.) Publisher: Eleusi Monterone: nella chiesa mariana del cimitero c'è un simbolo curioso, sulla cuspide dell'altare. Due V sovrapposte: ai lati, due falci di luna. Sotto è la scritta 'V Santissima delle Grazie'. Che significa? La V è il simbolo più antico della Madre: il triangolo al rovescio indica la Terra a Lei sacra. Nel suo ventre, si seppellivano i Morti: la Dea regnava sul prima, e sul dopo. Come le due facce della Luna che ne componevano il doppio volto. Da Afrodite alla dea romana Carmenta: dietro un simbolo cristiano dimenticato, scopriamo le dee antiche che vegliavano sull'aldilà. € 10,00

![]() ![]() Author: Harrison Jane Ellen; Scalera Mcclintock G. (cur.) Publisher: Ist. Italiano Studi Filosofici La teoria sacramentale del sacrificio, il matriarcato mitico come modalità di pensiero, l'opposizione tra divinità olimpiche e ctonie spinta fino a significare una metafora del moderno, il riaffiorare di una religione 'domestica' fatta di demoni che lavorano e soffrono, sono alcuni dei temi che decretarono il successo di Themis, considerato, al suo apparire nel 1912, quasi come il manifesto dei Ritualisti di Cambridge. «Libro pericoloso», secondo le parole della stessa Harrison, Themis fu accolto con diffidenza negli ambienti dei classicisti, per avere in letteratura una risonanza immediata, pari solo a quella de Il Ramo d'oro e di Totem e tabù. È soltanto negli anni sessanta, con il diffondersi delle analisi strutturali e morfologiche, e sulla scia della ripresa della tematica delle origini, che se ne è cominciato a riconoscere il valore pionieristico anche in ambiti specializzati. In una lettera del 1955 a Jocelyn Toynbee, Gilbert Murray ha scritto: «L'opera di Jane Harrison è stata memorabile [...] Forse solo pochi ne accetteranno le conclusioni, ma nessuno può scrivere di religione greca senza esserne in qualche modo influenzato». € 45,00

![]() ![]() Author: Harris Jane Publisher: BEAT In un giorno del 1863, nella Terra del Diavolo, il pezzo di Scozia che unisce Glasgow a Edimburgo, Bessy entra a servizio in una magnifica casa. Lavare, cucinare, battere i tappeti e fare il tè, accendere i camini tutte le mattine, pulire la cucina e tenerla accesa, lucidare gli stivali e svuotare il pitale della padrona e del marito sono compiti faticosi, ma Bessy ora ha un tetto sulla testa e la pancia piena. Perché, però, Arabella, la padrona di casa, con gli occhi che le brillavano, le ha messo in mano un libretto con una copertina di cartone e le ha ingiunto di scriverci dentro tutte le sue osservazioni mattina e sera? E che cosa è successo veramente a Nora, la ragazza che era prima a servizio, morta in circostanze misteriose? € 14,50

![]() ![]() Author: Harris Jane Publisher: BEAT Nella primavera del 1888, in seguito al decesso della zia da lei amorevolmente accudita, Harriet Baxter decide di lasciare Londra e viaggiare alla volta di Glasgow. Trentacinque anni, nubile, una piccola rendita annua cui attingere, Harriet arriva nella seconda città dell'Impero nell'anno dell'Esposizione Internazionale. Durante una passeggiata in una giornata insolitamente calda, Harriet soccorre una distinta signora di circa sessant'anni stramazzata al suolo per un malore sconosciuto. Qualche giorno dopo si ritrova a onorare l'invito, elargito in segno di riconoscenza per il suo bel gesto, a casa dei Gillespie, la famiglia della donna soccorsa. Ci sono Elspeth, l'esuberante madre del padrone di casa; Mabel, la figlia di Elspeth inacidita per essere stata abbandonata sull'altare; Kenneth, il figlio belloccio tormentato da un segreto inconfessabile; Annie, la dolce moglie del padrone di casa alle prese con l'educazione di due figlie; il padrone di casa, Ned Gillespie, un giovane, geniale pittore dai tratti meravigliosamente regolari e piuttosto avvenenti, e una punta di tristezza negli occhi blu oltremare. L'incontro con Ned Gillespie risulta fatale per Harriet Baxter. In lei si fa strada la convinzione di dover salvare Ned Gillespie. Salvarlo dalla sua indigenza, che gli impedisce di dare libero sfogo alla sua creatività, e salvarlo dalla sua turbolenta famiglia. Una convinzione che, come ogni ossessione, trascina inevitabilmente dietro di sé l'ombra della tragedia. € 9,00

![]() ![]() Author: Massy Jane, Harrison Jeremy Publisher: Taylor & Francis This book describes the best of practices that can be applied to human capital projects to ensure they deliver planned measureable results at the best value for money. This book will help readers ensure that investments, intended to deliver results, actually achieve those results. In the private sector, these results might include raised revenues, improved margins, higher productivity, reductions in customer complaints, increased brand awareness and enhanced staff engagement. In the public and third sectors, they might include programmes aiming to heighten sustained employment for key groups in the labour market, to increase safety for patients, improve educational outcomes, decrease carbon emissions, lower rates of re-offending or to increase trust between communities. Evaluating Human Capital Projects will teach those in public, private and third sectors to plan their projects and programmes with the same kind of discipline that is applied to capital investments. The book addresses; effective planning and stakeholder engagement, result tracking, opportunities to address and remove barriers, identifying where improvements can be made and enhance the potential for achieving results and guidance on carrying out robust analysis. Aimed at both project managers in the public and private sectors, local authority managers, post grad certificate and MBA students, this book will help build competence and confidence that enables programme and project managers, participants and funders to improve, prove and ultimately predict where the best results and value for money can be obtained raising the bar on human capital investments. € 55,30

![]() ![]() Author: Clarke Sarah E. Braddock, Harris Jane Publisher: Thames & Hudson The invention of the Jacquard loom in eighteenth-century France paved the way for computing and revolutionary change. From its punch-card origins, code has evolved to define and enable new methods in design, making, visualization, production and communication, achieving the previously unimaginable. Digital Visions for Fashion + Textiles: Made in Code considers how computing has reinvented image, material and structural processes, highlighting newly advancing 2D, 3D and interactive output. Pioneering shifts of practice have developed from hybrid technical and creative collaborations. Digital and analogue fusions are defining new contexts for the innovative fabrication of surfaces, products and environments. Twenty-two of the most forward-thinking practitioners, established and emerging, who have embraced developing digital technologies are profiled. Featured are household names, such as Hussein Chalayan, Prada and Issey Miyake, early pioneers (Vibeke Riisberg, Peter Struycken) and more independent, avant-garde individuals (Iris van Herpen, Casey Reas, Tom Gallant). Complete with a reference section and bibliographic information, this unique and richly illustrated book is the perfect resource and inspiration for designers, students, industry professionals, and anyone looking for an exploration of how computer technology has creatively permeated fashion, textiles and related digital sectors.

![]() ![]() Author: Savoie Jane, Savoie Rhett B. (PHT), Harris Susan E. (ILT), Naegeli Patricia Peyman (ILT) Publisher: Trafalgar Square Pub Dressage sometimes gets a bad rap. To many, dressage theory comes off as complex and antiquated, and dressage training as arduous and frustrating. Famous classical texts can be heavy reading and hard to understand. But the benefits of dressage are enormous, for both the rider and the horse, and for all disciplines?so how to make it less of a struggle, less of a mystery, and more of a sunny, happy, joyful pursuit? Turns out, it's easy if you have Jane Savoie's Dressage 101 in hand. Jane's highly illustrated how-to book is not only for beginning dressage enthusiasts, but also for those who have no intention of ever setting foot inside a competitive dressage arena. That's because dressage can help you clearly communicate with your horse and develop his body and movement, so that over time, he becomes more beautiful and athletic. You don't need a judge to tell you that is worthwhile! Dressage 101 provides a simple, riddle-free system of training that places a high priority on the horse's physical and mental well-being. Beginning with the three golden rules of dressage training?clarity, consistency, and kindness? Jane walks you through her four stages of dressage education. Stage One is an introductory course in the basics, and Stage Two covers the ?nuts and bolts” of training, including transitions, school figures, and movements. By the time you finish Stage Two, you'll have a happy, responsive horse that understands going forward and being straight; accepts contact so you can communicate with him through the reins; moves in a regular rhythm and a steady tempo in all three gaits; and can do transitions, circles, and turns, back up, lengthen his stride, and go sideways. In Stage Three, Jane translates the secrets surrounding the half-halt, enabling you to put your horse ?on the bit,” and adding a whole new dimension to your training. You'll even be ready for some ?fancy stuff” in Stage Four. Don't worry, everything in this book is well within the capacity of most horses?we're simply talking about the work required in the United States Equestrian Federation's (USEF) dressage tests at Third Level. This includes collected, medium, and extended gaits; advanced lateral movements; and flying changes. Ultimately, correct dressage is simply training. Its stages are as easy to employ and as satisfying to understand as those of any other training method in any other riding discipline. Best of all, you don't have to be smart, rich, or a super athlete to master dressage fundamentals and have an enthusiastically willing, exuberantly forward, excitingly athletic horse?you just need this book. € 31,20
