Описание:
On a crowded train in southern India, a mysterious encounter between two women-one an older elegant Indian, the other a young American artist-leads to the exchange of a dusty red book, and an appeal: You must show the world how we danced with God Years later, on reading the lost diary, Wendy is transported on an unforgettable journey into the ancient and erotic world of the revered devadasi, a world of dance and devotion, music and mysticism, restraint and release, shame and disgrace. The diary opens a connection across time and space between two parallel lives that include affairs of the spirit and the flesh manifest through sacred practices, through the making of art, the making of love, and most of all through love itself.
Author Amy Weintraub takes readers on a richly atmospheric journey deep into the history and magic of female sacred sexuality and spiritual transcendence. The tragic yet triumphant stories of both women are enriched by the foundations of yoga philosophy and the divine enigma that entwines the lives of two unlikely souls.

Описание: Elephants can count. Dogs read our expressions. Cows have personality. Fish feel pain. What do animals know and feel? Are they creative, can they actually make art? Do they grieve or have agency - the ability to make decisions, intentionally manipulate other creatures (even us) or love? Animals have extraordinary abilities. Their feelings are much like ours, and some of their cognitive skills equal our own. Inside the Animal Mind unpacks their inner lives and their relationship to us. Animal consciousness has long been fascinating -- but difficult to penetrate. Today, that is changing, and fast. Researchers say that each creature has evolved a suitable intelligence and emotional life for it's own role in the world: Dogs have minds that race though time on the fast track, in line with their quick metabolisms. Cats have a detailed language of meows to communicate specifically with humans. The octopus, with eight interacting arms, has a wildly complex brain. Readers will learn about how dogs love us, the special skills of horse therapists, and the wisdom of communities of bees. We explore how animals remember, how they love, the nature of their self-awareness and moral codes -- and how they have fun.

Описание: What makes for a healthy and lasting union in which love prevails? Experts give advcie on how to keep relationships strogn from initial attraction to lasting love. Love Decoded provides everything you need to ensure your passion thrives, whether you're celebrating your first anniversary or your 50th! As recently as the 19th century, marriage was largely a practical affair--people married for financial security, to create family, to have a home. If love entered the picture, it was by chance. But starting in the 1900s through to today, marriage and long-term partnerships of all kinds have gone through rapid, radical, continuous change: Today, enduring unions enable love, creativity, and the chance for personal growth--in the wake of a divorce rate at 50%, researchers say, those relationships that allow us to flourish as individuals have the greatest chance of long success. This book describes the 21st century reinvention of enduring unions with input from researchers and therapists at the forefront of the field. Stephanie Coontz, the social historian known for her seminal work on the transformation of marriage, explains how love has conquered marriage. David Sncharch, who reinvented sex therapy for the 21st century in the wake of Master's and Johnson, describes his new model of interconnectedness--in which partners can be independent while pursuing a shared life. And Aaron Ben-Ze-ev, the preeminent philosopher of love and author of the upcoming Arc of Love, explains how long-term relationships can enable profound love and flourishing--not possible when one skips from one passionate fling to the next. Of course, this book covers the gamut of pragmatic issues too: How to get along with in-laws, how to collaborate on raising kids, and how to rebuild the nest when kids have gone. The book includes invaluable advice from couples who have been married for 50 years or more. "Dance," one woman told us. "Keep talking," a man said. Our story about today's all-star couples, from Hollywood to royalty, injects some fun while showing how it's done.

Описание: "In Robert Weintraub's exhaustive biography, The Divine Miss Marble, he transports the reader into Marble's vibrant world. It's a dreamy, indomitable life worth reading about as today's tennis tries to return to form."--The Washington Post"An intriguing book about a fascinating woman . . . Highly recommended."--Library Journal (starred review) "Delightful and engrossing, this is a must for tennis fans."--Publishers Weekly The story of 1930s tennis icon Alice Marble, and her life of sports, celebrity, and incredible mystery Who was Alice Marble? In her public life, she was the biggest tennis star of the pre-war era, a household name like Joe DiMaggio and Joe Louis. She was famous for overcoming serious illness to win the biggest tournaments, including Wimbledon. She was also a fashion designer and trendsetter, a contributor to a pioneering new comic called Wonder Woman--and friend to the biggest names in Hollywood and society, like Carole Lombard and Clark Gable, William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies, and members of families named Bloomingdale, Loew, and du Pont. She helped integrate tennis with her support of Althea Gibson, and even coached two young women who became stars in their own right: Billie Jean King and Sally Ride. Yet her private life provoked constant speculation while she was alive, and her own memoirs added layers of legend upon stories. According to Alice, she married a man who was killed in the skies over Europe during World War II. But who was the man she loved, and had he even existed? She was widely known for her patriotism during World War II. Had she really nearly given her life for her country as a spy, shot during a wild car chase fleeing foreign espionage agents? In The Divine Miss Marble, bestselling author Robert Weintraub traveled the country to uncover her fascinating story. And the more he learned about her, the more her mysteries and contradictions deepened. Alice was a powerful woman who knew her worth, demanding equal pay to men decades earlier than other female athletes; yet she was held in sway by a domineering, highly successful coach with whom she had a volatile relationship. She was renowned for her California style, and had a brilliant mind and the guts to overcome a lifetime of physical trauma. For the first time here, we come closer than ever before to the truths of this unforgettable life, and somehow it's a story even more extraordinary than everything we already know about the divine Alice Marble.
