Описание: There are few collectibles that so vividly mark a design period as do the colorful ceramic fish, bubbles, mermaids, and seahorses of the 1950s and 1960s. The popularity of these bathroom decorations swept the land and became a fad that would be remembered for years to come. They were the creations of gifted artists, ceramic designers, and pottery makers, including Kay Finch, Freeman-McFarlin, Hedi Shoop, Josef Originals, DeForest, and Ceramicraft. In addition, there were countless smaller producers, who started well-intentioned, but all too often short-lived ceramics businesses as hobbies or avocations in their homes or garages. These brightly colored creations are chronicled in this new book with 222 beautiful color photographs, current values, manufacturers marks, company histories, and the reflections and insights of the author. Also included are decorating ideas to help the reader find a fitting place for these collectibles in todays home.

For thousands of years crystals and gemstones have adorned princesses, prophets, kings, and warriors, but they have also been used to invoke powerful healing energy and used as divination tools. The ancient Babylonian astrologers believed that white quartz crystals harnessed the power of the constellations to determine the future, while the Egyptians used stones such as obsidian to protect the wearer from evil. In fact, crystals are the most natural, empowering force we can work with to help unlock our own mystical powers.
The Key to Crystals helps you master the art of crystal reading, develop your own intuitive powers along the way, and discover all there is to know about the magic of crystals. It uses a combination of detailed background information and fun, simple, interactive lessons and exercises to help you unlock your own mystical potential. In addition, each of the book's four main sections concludes with a specially designed "masterclass" that takes you to a deeper level of understanding, if you feel ready to do so.
By understanding crystals and working with their powers, you too can discover the hidden energy of the cosmos that flows through you. Not only can you work with crystals for all forms of healing, life enhancement and making important choices, but also to divine the future and make your destiny what you want it to be.

In lieu of the theological, sociological, and psychoanalytic approaches that have generally dominated the study of ecstatic mystical experiences, the authors endeavor to decode the brain mechanisms underlying these phenomena. Arzy and Idel analyze first-person descriptions to explore the Kabbalistic techniques employed by most prominent Jewish mystics to effect bodily reduplications, dissociations, and other phenomena, and compare them with recent neurological observations and modern-day laboratory experiments.
