Robert E. L. Masters, Brookline Books/Lumen Editions

Neurospeak

Editura: Quest Books (IL)

Anul aparitiei: 1994

"Neurospeak" can change the body, the consciousness, and the very essence of the being. Leading pioneer of consciousness research Robert Masters provides a revolutionary technique -- or body game -- that addresses the nervous system through the written word to elicit changes in muscles, body organs, and conceivably the mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of life. He has designed the material so that, simply in the act of reading it, the reader may become more aware and alive.

Michael Les Benedict

For an Architecture of Reality

Editura: Lumen Books

Anul aparitiei: 1992

Michael Benedikt teaches, practices architecture, and writes in Austin, where he is a Professor of Architecture at the University of Texas. His second book, "Deconstructing the Kimbell" (0-930829-16-6), is also published by Lumen. "Benedikt has written a bold theoretical essay, with stirring cultural implications, that argues to restore the missing sense of reality to architecture and insists on 'the direct esthetic experience of the real.' . . . a timely manifesto. Thought-provoking and eminently quotable, it succeeds admirably in what it sets out to do: to recall architecture, and not only architecture, to those all but mute meanings so often passed over and yet inseparable from our everyday existence.--Karsten Harries "This book will still be useful when this year's round arches have all been remodeled (isn't it inevitable?) into pointed. And because it is so vividly -and thoughtfully--written, it will still be a pleasure to read."--Charles Moore "Every literate architect should take an afternoon off to read and ponder this brief and thoughtful and thoroughly engaging book. . . . Benedikt says more about some central aesthetic and philosophical issues confronting contemporary ...

Diamela Eltit

E. Luminata

Editura: Lumen Books

Anul aparitiei: 2008

"Diamela Eltit is the prize-winning author of five novels that have attracted attention all over the Latin America, Europe, and academic circles in the United States. E. Luminata was published in 1983 when Eltit was participating in collective actions against Pinochet's military regime. This remarkable first novel broke with all established literary tradition and continues to astonish because of its intransigence and its refusals -- of plot, character, literary convention, and ideological positioning."E. Luminata consists of a series of scenes that occur at night when, because of the curfew, the city is supposedly empty of all but the military. Set in a public square, with a single protagonist -- a woman -- and a public of 'pale' people, the only illumination is the intermittent light of a neon sign. The uncanniness of those nightmarish, night-time years when 'something more unnameable than terror' prevailed is woven subtly into this staging of an area that witnesses a baptism, a filming, an interrogation -- abjection and surveillance. At the same time, Eltit speedly thwarts any temptation to read the square allegorically as public space and the illuminated sign as enlightenment: ...

Brookline Books/Lumen Editions, Daniel Kamen

The Well Adjusted Horse

Editura: Brookline Books

Anul aparitiei: 1999

Horse riders, horse lovers, and equestrians everywhere will enjoy this new book from our favorite unorthodox chiropractor, Dr. Daniel Kamen. Dr. Dan explains how any horse owner or stable keeper can take proper care of their animal. These animals are the equine version of highly trained athletes, he says, and like any athlete they are susceptible to strain or injury. Whether the patient is human or animal, the basic chiropractic technique-manipulating the spine to return misaligned bones to their correct position-is the same. Kamen says, "if it has a spine, I can work on it". With the aid of a few bales of hay for height, and a few of these easy-to-follow techniques, you can give your animal the proper care he needs to keep him on track.
