Lucys Nose is a richly layered narrative that blends historical fiction, life writing, psychoanalysis and socio-political history to explore the intersections of memory, the imagination, and identity.At its heart is a detective-like quest to uncover the story of Freuds elusive patient Lucy R., a 30-year-old Scottish governess in Vienna who sought Freuds help in the early 1890s for olfactory hallucinations.As the contemporary author-narrator visits Vienna in the 1980s to search for traces of the woman who inspired Freuds case study, she reflects on Lucys resistance to Freuds sexual theories and begins imaginatively to reconstruct her voice and life.Set against the symbolic backdrop of a historic Viennese train station, the text becomes both a meditation on time and a neo-Victorian experiment in autofiction, merging personal memory with cultural history and blurring the lines between fact, fiction, and self-creation.

Is our private data still ours?When using information and communication technologies, the data transparency of the users is taken for granted. Inadvertently handing over our information to third parties is a common, ongoing, and widespread practice globally. Smart devices, browsers, websites, mobile applications, and social networks are all interconnected through the collection of their users" data.The book you hold in your hands briefly explains the elements that gave rise to this industry, who collects the data, the mechanisms employed, the risks involved, and the consequences that its use can generate, particularly for children and adolescents. A sustained exchange presented as an interview with ChatGPT-4.0, the popular artificial intelligence language model created by OpenAI, is also included. And thus, within this context, some suggestions are offered to allow us to enjoy the best that technology has to offer without unwanted intrusions into our personal privacy.

Lhumanamusica nasce molti anni fa a seguito delle riflessioni che riportavo nei diari protocollari delle sedute musicoterapiche rivolte a persone speciali e anche diversamente abili.Il contatto con questi soggetti mi ha fatto scoprire che la prima musica che incontro con loro e quella humana.Lhumanamusica e la riproposta, metaforica e rimodulata da me, di un concetto preso in prestito dal pensiero musicologico dellantico filosofo Severino Boezio e riportato nellopera: De institutione musica: Humanam vero musicam quisquis in sese ipsum descendit intellegit[1]. Ossia: La musica umana, poi, la percepisce chiunque discenda in se stesso[2].Le letture proposte nella parte iniziale del libro sono le risonanze dei vissuti da me provati nel corso degli innumerevoli trattamenti musicoterapici realizzati in questi trentanni di prassi.Nella seconda parte del libro, nel cuore teorico del testo, cerco di spiegare, con la ragione, con il logos, perche e cosi importante per me prendere in considerazione e accogliere questa musica primigenia.Se la prima parte dellelaborato e rivolta a chiunque sia desideroso di avvicinarsi a un tema cosi intimo, delicato e vitale, la seconda parte del volume e destinata agli addetti ai lavori e a quanti hanno voglia di realizzare lascoltazione della propria humana musica.In estrema sintesi, nel libro sostengo lidea che solo lascolto-accogliente della propria humana musica permettelascoltazione dellaltro da se e, in primis, della sua humana musica.Giangiuseppe Bonardi[1] AN.

In a world full of uncertainty, humans are always looking for a "safe place" to protect their values and wealth. For centuries, gold has been considered a symbol of stability, silver as a promising complement, and now crypto is here as a modern alternative that shakes up the old order. However, history, empirical data, and market behavior show one important thing: no asset is truly safe.This book was born out of the need to understand the paradox. This book combines rich historical narratives, sharp econometric analysis, retail investor case studies, and psychological reflections on human emotions during crises. From ancient Egypt to Wall Street, from the gold standard to blockchain, readers are invited to trace the long journey of safe havens and the paradoxes that come with them.What makes this book different is its multidisciplinary approach: economics, psychology, geopolitics, and financial technology combine to provide a comprehensive picture.

Policymakers will see the urgent regulatory implications. And the general public will get financial literacy that is relevant for daily life.The book is prepared for publication in five languages, with the aim of reaching readers in different parts of the world.

More than just an analysis, this book is an invitation to think critically, strategize adaptively, and understand that rationality and psychology always go hand in hand in the world of investment.This is a book that will make you look at the market in a different way. A work that not only explains, but also challenges, inspires, and prepares you for the future of global finance.

In einer Welt voller Unsicherheit suchen Menschen stets nach einem "sicheren Ort", um ihre Werte und ihren Reichtum zu schutzen.

Il BUNDESNACHRICHTENDIENST (BND). Il Servizio di Intelligence Estero della Germania si propone come studio interdisciplinare storico, giuridico, operativo e comparato del Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), il Servizio di Intelligence Estero della Repubblica Federale Tedesca. In unepoca caratterizzata da trasformazioni geopolitiche accelerate, dalla digitalizzazione delle minacce e dalla riconfigurazione delle alleanze internazionali, comprendere il funzionamento, la storia e le sfide dei servizi di intelligence nazionali riveste unimportanza strategica fondamentale per accademici, analisti di sicurezza, giuristi e decisori politici.Attraverso lanalisi di documenti declassificati, audizioni parlamentari, ricerche accademiche e rapporti di organismi di controllo, si ricostruisce levoluzione di unistituzione che, nata dalle ceneri della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, si e trasformata in uno degli attori principali dellintelligence occidentale.Il libro si articola in undici capitoli, che spaziano dalle origini storiche legate alla figura controversa di Reinhard Gehlen, fino alle piu recenti sfide poste dallintelligence artificiale, dalla guerra ibrida e dagli scandali internazionali.

A friendship is a filiation we choose. It holds love and laughter; it can extend our sense of the possible. Moved to honour a form of relation often subordinated to romantic and familial ties, and to explore a part of her own history, Helene Giannecchini pieces together an alternative genealogy of queer ancestors. In searching and sensitive prose, she sifts the past to bring existences deemed marginal into communion with each other, traces of which may remain only in memory and archival fragments. Roving from Casa Susanna, a space of freedom from persecution in McCarthyite North America, to the diary of a man living with HIV in France, and to the life and work of pioneering lesbian photographer Donna Gottschalk, each narrative counters oblivion through loving acts of witness. A slantwise gathering of queer life and activism in the twentieth century, interspersed with images encountered by chance, An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail establishes friendship as a vital political force and offers a moving testament to its liberatory power.

Set in what may be the future, and centred on six women sharing a space in some sort of crumbling apartment tower, Ruins, Child is remarkable for its irresistible sweep, wit, and prickly splintered truth. Giada Scodellaros novel is like a precious old mirror: dropped, looking up at you, flashing light and bits of the undeniable. With the pulsating sway of its liquid mosaic narrative, the novel may recall Virginia Woolfs The Waves, but is entirely its own animal: kaleidoscopic, pointedly disorienting in its looseness, and powered along by snatches of speech from its compelling ensemble cast, often vernacular, often overheard. Its a book seemingly drawn from deep wells of Black American reality: Scodellaros female protagonists push back against authority in the very vivacity of their telling, setting afoot a freeing-up and a mysterious inversion of marginalization. A surreal musing, Ruins, Child uses the lens of urban infrastructure, social commentary, folklore, choreography and collective listening to create an ethnography of place and an ode to communal ruins.

This new translation of the best stories by Ichiyo Higuchi showcases the pioneering authors profound sensitivity and lyrical eye. The crystalline beauty of falling snow is a painful reminder of lost innocence; three children growing up on the fringes of Tokyos red-light district enjoy a last summer of freedom before adulthood and its compromises overtake them; a discontented serving maid and a prodigal son find their transgressions can be mutually beneficial; and a mans passion for an indifferent teahouse courtesan becomes so consuming that he is willing to sacrifice everything to it - his job, his family, perhaps even his life. Rarely translated into English, but revered in Japan for the purity of her classical language and her status as the countrys first professional woman writer, Ichiyo Higuchi drew on her own short life in a poor Tokyo neighbourhood to inspire her work. With immense delicacy of phrase and feeling, and vivid evocations of the colourful festivals and salty street banter that mask unspoken yearning and disappointed hopes, she transmits both the beauty and the struggle of working-class womens lives in turn-of-the-century Japan. In her clear-eyed vision of the world, longing and memory may be the only solace.

Northern Ireland is on fire. But rather than attending to the conflict raging around her, the young Sinéad Morrissey is obsessed with the Cold War, East Germany and the utopia of the USSR.Set against the distinctive cultural milieu of Belfast Communism its smoky meeting rooms, protests, marches, sports days, holidays, discos and Party bazaars Among Communists tells a history of the Troubles unlike any other whilst simultaneously charting a young writers journey into poetry.When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, surprising everyone Western Communists most of all Morrisseys family followed suit and fell apart. This memoir charts those personal and political earthquakes, weaving together a lyrical exploration of familial love, belief, contrariness and loss, and of the galvanising power of sudden endings to make and re-make the past.

Bill Manhire has always subscribed to Paul Valérys definition of poetry as a prolonged hesitation between sound and sense. In that spirit, many of the poems in this new, dazzling collection blend story and song, and do so using everyday words and phrases that suddenly, on the page become new and delightfully weird.Lyrical Ballads is a many-peopled collection: the baffled inhabitants of Every Street and Intermediate Street are here, while Dracula, T.S. Eliot and Bobby Outram from Outram have walk-on parts. The collection is anchored by two long sequences that embrace awkwardness, mystery and absurdity: The Tobacco Tin, a kind of folk story riding along on its own lacunae, and Tell You What, a set of curmudgeonly opinions that evoke the prejudices of a fast-vanishing world.As they notice the small collisions between wonder and everyday reality, and the trajectories of those who dont fit easily in this world, these poems close in on the darker certainties of our lives.

A Poetry Book Society RecommendationPraising Joe Carrick Vartys debut, the T.S. Eliot Prize judges observed that his work confronts fraught spaces of addiction and domestic violence [its] lyricism shaped by a raw and fragmented reality.His outstanding second collection reflects further on growing up under the cloud of abuse and alcoholism, unfolding compelling patterns as it examines how the past shapes our future lives. Bold and unusual in form, its three gripping long poems look unflinchingly and unforgettably at inheritance, pain and memory.

When Titanic left Southampton in 1912, neither the Aristocrat, The Countess of Rothes, nor the Able Seaman, Thomas Jones, imagined meeting, let alone navigating a tiny lifeboat together at night, among towering icebergs. But Jones put Noel Rothes at the tiller of his boat when he realised her calm capability, and for seven long hours they did all they could to shepherd at least twenty-five others to safety. Their ordeal forged an unlikely affinity that lasted until Noel died in 1956.Angela Young, Noels great-granddaughter, tells the stories of these two courageous Titanic survivors and considers why so very few people survived the tragedy.

Even in this predominantly secular age, Britains cathedrals remain potent symbols of religious continuity. Their purpose was to reveal Gods majesty, to declare the supremacy of the Church and the devotion of the men who built them. They were intended, literally, to be awesome. Similarly, our medieval abbeys, most of them sad remnants of a glorious past, serve to remind us of the dedication of those who aspired to the monastic ideal. No two cathedrals or abbeys are alike in their conception, location, construction or history, and it is this that gives them their limitless appeal.Informative, knowledgeable and wide-ranging, Stephen Friars study contains over 1,450 entries and explores the features of these places, as well as associated subjects, such as architecture, monuments and church music. Entries on the Anglo-Saxon Church, monasticism, the Reformation, the restoration of the Roman Catholic dioceses and more assist in revealing a wider historical context.Richly illustrated in both colour and black and white, The Companion to Cathedrals and Abbeys is essential reading to new and more seasoned researchers alike.

For much of its history, Orkney had its own language, culture and institutions. The prehistoric inhabitants created monuments which are unmatched anywhere in Europe, and the medieval period saw the magnificent earldom that expressed itself through the Orkneyinga Saga and the building of St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. Like Shetland, Orkney was heavily influenced by Viking traders and raiders from Scandinavia, and for a long period it formed an outlying part of the kingdom of Norway. Over 500 years ago, however, the islands lost their Scandinavian links and since then have had a sometimes difficult association with mainland Scotland. More recent times have seen the use of Orkney as a strategic stronghold during two world wars, and the far-reaching impact of oil and gas exploitation in the North Sea. This classic book covers the whole fascinating story and will be of interest to readers far beyond the rocky shores of Orkney itself.
