Like a Human Butterfly, through the different passages and lessons of her life, Elaina seeks with courage and passion to balance her wings between the Real World and the Spirit World and connect them to the centre of her heart, arousing her ultimate state of spiritual light to take her flight . . . beyond the horizon . . . and share it with the universe . . . This is Elaina's story, and your story: journeying through aeons in search of that initial understanding and the awakening of the first “Spark of Light” from the origin of times, where the Infinite gave birth to the Finite. It is the story of Elaina's fallen innocence during her exploration on Earth - her challenges with self-love, self-doubt and her faith in the powers of Light. We are living in times of "great change". We have heard this for many years and we have been told this by many powerful and ancient prophecies. We feel it swelling in our own souls. The time has come to end the old paradigms and the dreaming of the new reality, and create a new world on Earth with a real connection to the Heart. Ignite the wings of your Human Butterfly with Love and join Elaina in her flight to Luminae!

John Kasper was a militant far-right activist who first came to prominence with his violent campaigns against desegregation in the Civil Rights era. Ezra Pound was the seminal figure in Anglo-American modernist literature and one of the most important poets of the 20th century. This is the first book to comprehensively explore the extensive correspondence - lasting over a decade and numbering hundreds of letters - between the two men. John Kasper and Ezra Pound examines the mutual influence the two men exerted on each other in Pound's later life: how John Kasper developed from a devotee of Pound's poetry to an active right-wing agitator; how Pound's own ideas about race and American politics developed in his discussions with Kasper and how this informed his later poetry. Shedding a disturbing new light on Ezra Pound's committed engagement with extreme right-wing politics in Civil Rights-era America, this is an essential read for students of 20th-century literature.

A nightmare takes control of her dark destiny in this thrilling new fantasy series from Sophia Slade. Wren is a nightmare, a deadly manifestation of the frightening dreams of humans, forever bound to the insidious Reverie king Para Warwick. When she fails to retrieve a weapon that could end Warwick’s reign and is severely punished, she makes a snap decision to aid the growing rebellion in finding it. With the help of another traitorous nightmare, a young human queen who can cross the boundary between the dream and waking worlds, and her liege’s naïve human son, Wren might finally gain the ability to take down Warwick once and for all—and prevent the very fabric of reality from unravelling.

This book is divided into 57 chapters that also cover the major facets of the emotional, psychological, sociological, legal, anthropological, geographical, and historical aspects of sexuality, including the related fields of love, marriage, and the family. This book deals first with the advances in sex research, the issues on abortion, abstinence, adolescent, sexuality, and the link between sex and aging. The subsequent chapters consider the demographic, geographical, and anthropological aspects of sex; life; the physiology, anatomy, and history of sex; the attitude toward sex; the concept of autoerotism; and the religious view of sex. Other sex-related topics covered include chastity and virginity, child sexuality, nakedness, coitus, contraception, courtship, culture, social dancing, and sex education. This book further discusses the emotional aspects of sex, such as divorce, marriage, extramarital sex relations, family, and reproduction.

The present text was envisioned as a supplement to eXlstmg texts on human neuropathology, covering only those aspects of pediatric neuropathol ogy which pertain to and are peculiar of the immature nervous system. No coverage-or only brief comment-is given to diseases commonly found in adults which may, on occasion, occur in childhood or infancy as well. The subject matter is divided into three main categories: 1. The "acquired" lesions dating to the fetal, perinatal or early postnatal periods, 2. the malformations, and 3. the heritable metabolic defects. The first 6 chapters (2-7) are reserved to the lesions most intimately linked to the circumstances of birth. There is some inherent ambiguity in distinguishing between "acquired" lesions and malformations, as, indeed, no sharp distinction can be made between one and the other. Many malformations result from diseases acquired during fetal life and their peculiarity resides in the fact that the organ becomes affected before its development terminates and in such a way that its subsequent development becomes deranged or partly abrogated. A variety of causes acting at the same developmental period or over a common pathogenetic mechanism may produce the same type of derangement, including chemical, physical, infectious or genetic factors, as pointed out repeatedly in the text. Consequently, the definition of a malformation, as differing from an "acquired" residual lesion was made dependant on evidence for the derangement of developmental pro cesses subsequent to the acquisition of the disease.
