Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this seminal study of human bone forms, Dr. Mees reveals the skeleton as an articulate work of art. But who is the artist? Using a blend of phenomenological observations and artistic intuition, the author carefully explores the anatomical facts of the human skeleton, with the beauty of many bones impressively described and illustrated through numerous parallel photographs and illustrations. Dr. Mees discovers numerous intriguing correspondences of form, especially between bones of the lower body and those of the skull. Interpreting the gestural language hidden within the skeleton from the background of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science, the author reaches startling conclusions concerning those correspondences--conclusions that support the reality of reincarnation and the concept of a body of formative forces, or what some call the human "etheric body." The book also contributes a discussion of polarity and intensification--the essential laws of metamorphosis, as discovered by Goethe and revealed in his writings.Mees clarifies the various types of metamorphosis as characterized by the living realms of plant, animal, and human, and this, in turn, sheds new light on the creationist vs. evolutionary controversy, as well as several other contemporary spiritual dilemmas.

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Los seres humanos no sabemos vivir sin héroes. Por lo menos desde la Grecia clásica, los héroes, reales o ficticios, así como sus oponentes los villanos, han acompañado a la humanidad a lo largo de los siglos y en contextos históricos muy diversos. No hace falta buscar en la historia: El personal sanitario y su abnegada lucha contra el coronavirus en unas condiciones radicalmente adversas nos ofrecen otro ejemplo de héroes y heroínas en la actualidad del siglo XXI. Esta inmutable pervivencia de los héroes (y, en mucha menor medida, de las heroínas) apunta a una constante antropológica de la naturaleza humana, que, en el transcurso del tiempo, ha ido incorporando al héroe y su culto en su ADN. Sin embargo, el estudio del héroe y de su oponente ha ocupado durante mucho tiempo solo un lugar marginal en las ciencias sociales. Tanto la funesta experiencia con los héroes totalitarios como el hecho de que el héroe, por definición, cuestiona el principio más sagrado de cualquier democracia, a saber: el principio de la igualdad, pueden explicar estas reticencias de analizar un fenómeno tan relevante no solo en la historia sino también en la política actual. Enlazando con el creciente interés por las construcciones simbólicas e imaginarias promovido por la historia cultural, y combinando el análisis de casos seleccionados con la reflexión teórica, este libro contribuye a mejorar el conocimiento sobre el complejo fenómeno de los héroes y los villanos, su creación, su socialización y su género, así como su funcionalidad.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El gran número de partidos políticos que han funcionado en el País Vasco y en Navarra desde el siglo XIX hasta nuestros días constituye un verdadero laberinto en el que resulta difícil orientarse. Por ello es necesaria una obra como esta, original y pionera. Ofrece no solo un clarificador estudio historiográfico de más de 400 partidos y coaliciones, sino también una cartografía de las diversas culturas y familias políticas en las que esas formaciones se han integrado, compartiendo referencias culturales, simbólicas e históricas, un proyecto común y una forma de entender la acción política. Nunca antes se ha hecho un esfuerzo similar por identificar tales culturas y adscribir cada partido a una de ellas. El núcleo de la obra estudia el periodo 1875-2020, dedicando una primera parte a los partidos entre la Restauración y la Transición y una segunda desde 1975 hasta la actualidad. La etapa previa, los dos primeros tercios del siglo XIX, que fue el tiempo de los partidos de notables y de la configuración de las primeras culturas políticas contemporáneas, se aborda en un amplio estudio introductorio, en el que también se ofrecen las claves para entender la cartografía de culturas políticas que se ha trazado. Al analizar los partidos se ha prestado atención no solo a su génesis, ideología, estructura, líderes, discursos, evolución y actividad electoral, sino también a su prensa, símbolos y espacios de sociabilidad. La rica selección de ilustraciones que recorre la obra ayuda a comprender mejor estos últimos aspectos. Este libro es susceptible de ser leído como una monografía o de utilizarse como obra de consulta para obtener información sobre un partido concreto. De cualquier forma, permite a los lectores conocer y entender mejor el complejo laberinto de la representación política en el País Vasco y en Navarra en la Edad Contemporánea. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'In this book, we are not dealing, as is usually the case, with statements that are, in my opinion, established facts. The artistic part that lives in some form in each human being can be used as a means of observation. Thus, it is possible to observe things that would escape those who take the purely analytical, scientific approach. It is of prime importance to discover a certain order, a plan, in the multitude of shapes. To achieve this, we must study the skeleton as a whole. For our purpose, it is also necessary to study the shape of a number of bones in a new way and by mutual comparison.' --L. F. C.
