Our relationship with home includes many psychosomatic realms: perception, imagination, fantasy, projection, separateness, boundaries, smells, and sounds. Our very first home is our mothers womb; our very last, an urn or coffin. In between, we have our childhood home, deeply incorporated into our psyche, which persists, throughout life, as (hopefully) a fond prototype, an object of nostalgia, and a source of ego-replenishment, college dorms, shared housing, apartments, marital and family homes, downsized residences of late middle age, retirement homes, nursing homes, and hospices. Far apart from a world of linear progression are traumatizing homes, foster homes, and orphanages where searingly painful as well as defiantly triumphant scenarios of growth and development may unfold. Also, monasteries, which embody the human desire for detachment, silence, and contemplation, away from earthly relations to seek spirituality and transcendence. The contributions from Aisha Abbasi, Salman Akhtar, Rajiv Gulati, M. Nasir Ilahi, Gurmeet S. Kanwal, Murad Khan, Milan Patel, Sarita Singh, and Nidhi Tewari seek to demonstrate that at each step in the life span, our dwellings both impact upon and reflect our intrapsychic goings-on. As well as examinations of the kinds of home mentioned above, the abstract nature of home is also explored, looking at its function, the search for a sense of home, homesickness, absence, nostalgia, and the development of a stable internalized home. Theres no place like home and Attics and Basements shows us why.

The Land That Time Forgot is a fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Caspak trilogy. His working title for the story was "The Lost U-Boat." The sequence was first published in Blue Book Magazine as a three-part serial in the issues for September, October and November 1918. The complete trilogy was later combined for publication in book form under the title of the first part by A. C. McClurg in June 1924. Beginning with the Ace Books editions of the 1960s, the three segments have usually been issued as separate short novels.Starting out as a harrowing wartime sea adventure, Burroughss story ultimately develops into a lost world story reminiscent of such novels as Sir Arthur Conan Doyles The Lost World (1912) and Jules Vernes The Mysterious Island (1874) and Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864). Burroughs adds his own twist by postulating a unique biological system for his lost world, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated as a matter of individual metamorphosis. This system is only hinted at in The Land That Time Forgot; presented as a mystery whose explication is gradually worked out over the cours

This exceptional collection of essays explores the persistence of misogyny: how it is woven into the fabric of our culture, our institutions, and our psyches. Building on her first book, Misogyny in Psychoanalysis, Michaela Chamberlain moves on from a conversation to a demand for action. Drawing on her experiences as a psychotherapist, mother, and researcher, she uses psychoanalytic theory to examine what causes misogyny and how misogyny is internalised, enacted, and justified. Revisiting Freuds case of Dora and Winnicotts concept of the "good enough mother", she explores how these foundational psychoanalytic ideas continue to echo in contemporary expectations placed on women - particularly around sexuality, care, and emotional labour. These essays bridge past and present, theory and lived experience, to ask what has really changed and include a much-needed update to Winnicotts list of reasons why a mother hates her baby. From online discussion forums to classical literature, from consulting room dynamics to cultural narratives, Chamberlain investigates how misogyny hides in plain sight, often disguised as common sense, tradition, or even progressive thinking. Her work questions who benefits from patriarchy, who is harmed, and how all of us - regardless of gender - are shaped by its assumptions. Accessible yet deeply informed, On Resisting Women invites readers into a debate about how we think, how we feel, and how we might begin to loosen misogynys grip - not only on our systems, but on our inner worlds.
