Signal, Toronto, 2015. First hardcover edition. Condition: Near fine in very good dust jacket, book has light corner bumps, dust jacket has edge wear and spine creasing, light nicks at top edges.In Stranger Than We Can Imagine, John Higgs argues that before 1900, history seemed to make sense. We can understand innovations like electricity, agriculture and democracy. The twentieth century, in contrast, gave us relativity, cubism, quantum mechanics, the id, existentialism, Stalin, psychedelics, chaos mathematics, climate change and postmodernism.In order to understand such a disorienting barrage of unfamiliar and knotty ideas, Higgs shows us, we need to shift the framework of our interpretation and view these concepts within the context of a new kind of historical narrative. Instead of looking at it as another step forward in a stable path, we need to look at the twentieth century as a chaotic seismic shift, upending all linear narratives.Higgs invites us along as he journeys across a century "about which we know too much" in order to grant us a new perspective on it. He brings a refreshingly non-academic, eclectic and infectiously energetic approach to his subjects as well as a unique ability to explain how complex ideas connect and intersectwhether he's discussing Einstein's theories of relativity, the Beat poets' interest in Eastern thought or the bright spots and pitfalls of the American Dream., Signal, 2015, 3.5, London: Orion Books Ltd, 2009. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book This is an unusually wise and well-written self-help book that easily satisfies most readers' requirement of offering practical help. It is devoid of a "method", but aims to share what help psychological counselling, cognitive and behaviour therapy can offer the depressed, sad, bereaved or confused individual. Cecilia d'Felice has addressed herself to the variety of readers who may seek her out who may fall into two broad categories - those who are suffering and those who love someone who is suffering. Dare To Be You has a rare transparency and honesty. Dr d'Felice is no stranger to illness and medical indifference and misdiagnosis. She tells her own story bravely and without any self-pity, although medical neglect has nearly killed her more than once and has disabled her. Consequently, there is no false optimism in this book. Dr d'Felice has something different to offer, something like a radiant faith in the way individuals who lack a sense of self-worth can redeem themselves and eventually love themselves. Her message is that life can be seized and is meant to be seized, despite affliction, and in this way lies the salvation of the world in our basic kindness and understanding towards ourselves and all others in our lives. Her advice is practical, and within several of the eight chapters are suggestions for journal writing, mindfulness and breathing exercises. Dr d'Felice is one of the rare individuals who has a deep sense of compassion, ignited by circumstances that might have made her bitter instead. Her book has the voice of a wise and loving friend, and offers companionship in the way that the best and most favourite books do, Orion Books Ltd, 2009, 3<
