People all over the world have always used symbols to express and communicate the things that mean most to them. From a country's flag, which can signify more than patriotism, to a charm bracelet, with its 'portable memories', symbolism takes various forms. Familiarity with symbolism opens up levels of understanding most of us have probably never been aware of. Why, for instance, do we share a secret with the words 'a little bird told me'? What is it about a horseshoe that, in the right circumstances, brings luck? Why a horse's shoe? How old is the swastika, and where has it been used as a symbol (and what was Jung getting at when he said the Nazi's used it 'backwards')? \n \nIn nearly 1500 entries, many of them strikingly and often surprisingly illustrated, J.C. Cooper has documented the history and evolution of symbols from prehistory to our own day. Lively, informative and often ironic, she discusses and explains an enormous variety of symbols extending from the Arctic to Dahomey, from the Iroquios to Oceania, and coming from systems as diverse as Tao, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Tantra, the cult of Cybele and the Great Goddess, the Pre-Columbian religions of the Western Hemisphere and the Voodoo cults of Brazil and West Africa.

Il taoismo è la filosofia dell'arte di vivere, del ritmo della vita e della semplicità di spirito. Il profondo interesse che il taoismo ha sempre riservato alla Natura in quanto espressione dell'inesprimibile Uno trova riscontro nell'elaborata teoria dei due principi yin e yang, in quanto poli di attrazione e di manifestazione del cosmo nel suo insieme. Yin è il principio femminile, l'intuizione, la profondità, l'ombra, l'immobilità, mentre yang è il principio maschile, la ragione, l'altezza, la luce, la mobilità. L'intero sistema delle cose è contrassegnato dal dualismo e il medesimo dualismo è alla base della Natura e della condizione umana. J. C. Cooper fornisce un'attenta e interessante analisi della metafisica taoista muovendo proprio dall'esame del simbolismo e del significato concettuale della coppia di opposti yin e yang.

Promises of justice and equality made in the U.S. Constitution, numerous Amendments, and decisions of the Supreme Court are hallmarks of American civil rights. Yet the realities of inequality remain facts of modern life for too many Native Americans, African Americans, and Latino Americans, even though state-mandated racial segregation has been outlawed for years. Women still face a variety of forms of discrimination-some subtle and others more overt. There remain many laws that treat people differently because of sexual orientation. People with disabilities are supposed to be protected by a variety of statutes, but many of these policies remain unfulfilled promises. These are just some of the many challenges of civil rights that persist in a nation that proudly points to the words above the entrance to the U.S. Supreme Court that read \"Equal Justice Under Law.\"\n\nThis text is for current and future public service professionals -whether they are in government agencies, in nonprofit organizations that provide social services for government, or contractors who operate as state actors-who increasingly serve diverse communities with a range of complex challenges, while working and managing within organizations that, fortunately, are themselves more diverse than ever before. For those who work and serve in such settings, civil rights is not an abstract academic study, but a critically important and very practical fact of daily life. This book may also be used on civil rights law, policy, and public administration courses, and each chapter ends with a section on 'Issues for Policy and Practice' to guide an examination of key public policy hurdles in the fight for civil rights as well as the implications for public service practice. Through an engaging exploration of edited court cases, legislation, and speeches, the reader is encouraged to think critically about civil rights law and policy pertaining to African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos/Latinas, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities, to learn what civil rights require, but also to come to a more empathetic understanding of how different groups of people experience civil rights and the unique challenges they face.

Negli ultimi anni la logistica ha conosciuto una spettacolare evoluzione, passando dai moli dei porti e dagli spazi disadorni dei magazzini agli uffici informatizzati di imprese multinazionali. Il testo esamina gli aspetti legati alla logistica nel particolare contesto della catena di fornitura e ne traccia le tendenze. La diversità del testo risiede proprio in questo approccio che non si limita solo alle funzioni interne di una organizzazione, ma si espande anche alle integrazioni che coinvolge la supply chain. Attraverso attività di ricerca, docenza e consulenza, gli autori hanno attivamente preso parte allo sviluppo della logistica nordamericana e in questo libro hanno raccolto la loro esperienza, passando dai fondamenti teorici alle più recenti acquisizioni del settore, fino alla visione delle prospettive future e del ruolo fondamentale che la logistica rivestirà nel vantaggio competitivo aziendale. Il testo presenta in modo esaustivo tutti gli aspetti della materia, dalle nozioni di base (logistica dei trasporti, gestione dei magazzini e dei materiali) alle strategie globali.

The official authorized companion to the much-loved Netflix show Emily in Paris.\n\nParis, J'Adore! is Emily Cooper's diary about her life in France so far. From leaving her boyfriend in Chicago to starting at marketing firm Savoir in Paris, it reveals all the thrill, fear and confusion Emily experiences as she embarks on her new life. She becomes acquainted not only with French workplace etiquette - the long lunches, the arguments, the determined reluctance to use social media - but also with Gabriel, the hottest chef in town. Some things, though, are beyond comprehension: like why the first floor in a Parisian apartment building is the second floor and the first floor is the ground floor.\n\nAs the months go by, Emily learns how it's perfectly normal to have a glass of Sancerre for breakfast and how you should never turn up early at work. But more than anything, she learns about love, female friendships, and how exciting it is to step out of your comfort zone in this beautiful and intriguing city.\nParis, J'Adore! is also a guidebook to how to be a Parisian, with tips on fashion, romance, and where to capture the perfect selfie in the City of Lights.\n\nWritten in Emily's voice, it will contain the following sections:\n1. Emily's Fashion Paris - all about Emily's favourite outfits and designers - from Cadault to Chanel - as well as tips on what to wear to the beach, where to find the best boutiques, and how to dress like a Parisian; \n2. Emily's Romantic Paris - the best bridges to kiss and break up on, where you can find the most breathtaking views and the most perfect backstreets, why the magic of the Eiffel Tower twinkling at night is the most intoxicating backdrop to falling in love, and a selection of the most evocative French songs to sing along to;\n3. Emily's Secret Paris - where Parisians show Emily the real Paris, from the hamman in the Mosquee de Paris to the Atelier des Lumieres, and from small independent French cinemas to delightful neighbourhood restaurants; \n4. Emily's Workplace Paris - how to navigate tensions and emotions in a French boardroom, lunch and coffee break rituals, Sylvie's own version of Savoir's Employee Handbook, and how to teach the French about social media; \n5. Emily's Escapades from Paris - including the delights of the Champagne region, the sheer glamour of Saint-Tropez and the opulence of the Chateau de Versailles.\n\nPacked with four-colour photographs, exquisite illustrations and beautiful shots of Paris, Paris, J'Adore! is a hugely desirable gift book for all the fans of the show.

Book of the Year in The Economist, Guardian, New Statesman, Wall Street Journal and New York Times.\n\nShortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize & the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography.\n\n'A wonderful book about one of the most important, brilliant and flawed scientists of the 20th century.' Peter Frankopan\n\n'Superb' Matt Ridley, The Times\n\n'Fascinating... The best Haldane biography yet.' New York Times\n\n\nJ.B.S. Haldane's life was rich and strange, never short on genius, never lacking for drama. He is best remembered as a geneticist who revolutionized our understanding of evolution, but his peers thought him a polymath; one student called him 'the last man who knew all there was to be known'.\n\nBeginning in the 1930s, Haldane was also a staunch Communist - a stance that enhanced his public profile, led him into trouble, and even drew suspicions that he was spying for the Soviets. He wrote copiously on science and politics for the layman, in newspapers and magazines, and he gave speeches in town halls and on the radio, all of which made him, in his day, as famous in Britain as Einstein. Arthur C. Clarke called Haldane 'the most brilliant science popularizer of his generation'. He frequently narrated aspects of his life: of his childhood, as the son of a famous scientist; of his time in the trenches in the First World War and in Spain during the Civil War; of his experiments upon himself; of his secret research for the British Admiralty; of his final move to India, in 1957. \n\nA Dominant Character unpacks Haldane's boisterous life in detail, and it examines the questions he raised about the intersections of genetics and politics - questions that resonate all the more strongly today.

Since his rise to fame in 1967 when his work \"The Peregrine\" was awarded the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize, J A Baker has captured the popular imagination with his vivid descriptions of British landscapes and native wildlife. Compelling, strange and at times both startlingly funny and cruel, Baker's prose is at one with his image as a writer, which has, since the publication of his first work, been characterized as an obsessive recluse.Next to nothing was known about Baker, who died in 1987, until an archive of his materials and those related to him was gifted to the University of Essex in 2013. Only now has it been possible to piece together an accurate view of the life and unpublished work of the man whose writing has been described as \"the gold standard for all nature writing\" (Mark Cocker), and whose work has influenced naturalists such as Richard Mabey and Simon King, as well as film-makers David Cobham and Werner Herzog.This new book showcases the most compelling parts of the Baker Archive, containing previously unknown elements of his life, many photographs and unpublished poems.It provides an invaluable new insight into both his sensitive and passionate character, and late twentieth century Britian, a country experiencing the throes of agricultural and environmental change.

Reissue of J. A. Baker's extraordinary classic of British nature writing, with an exclusive new afterword by Robert Macfarlane.\n J. A. Baker's extraordinary classic of British nature writing was first published in 1967. Greeted with acclaim, it went on to win the Duff Cooper Prize, the pre-eminent literary prize of the time. Luminaries such as Ted Hughes, Barry Lopez and Andrew Motion have cited it as one of the most important books in twentieth-century nature writing.\n\n\n Despite the association of peregrines with the wild, outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J. A. Baker spent long winters looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands - peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them.\n\n\n This new edition of the timeless classic, published to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its first publication, features an afterword by one of the book's greatest admirers, Robert Macfarlane.

In \"Memorie tradite\" Emma Tennant fa rivivere personaggi eccellenti del mondo letterario di fine Ottocento, come Henry James (1843-1916) e Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840-1894), nipote di J.F. Cooper (autore de \"L'ultimo dei Moicani\"). La vicenda prende le mosse proprio da una delle novelle più note del grande scrittore americano, \"Il carteggio Aspern\" (1888), ispirato alla storia di Claire Clairmont (1798-1879), sorella di Mary Shelley e amante di Byron.
