This remarkable and wide-ranging book is an inventory of symbols and the symbolic imagination. The editors and their fifteen contributors are drawn from a variety of scholarly backgrounds—including anthropology, ethnology, psychotherapy and art history. This diversity of approach is responsible for the book''s unique character, a reflection of the multiplicity of symbols and signs and the phenomenal range of possible interpretations they offer. This book draws together folklore, literary and artistic sources, and focuses on the symbolic dimension of every colour, number, sound, gesture, expression or character trait that has benefitted from symbolic interpretation. The conscious and unconscious minds are explored, desire and dreams are treated alongside the known and the chronicled. Extraordinary in its range and eclecticism, this dictionary was originally published in French as the Dictionnaire des Symboles, and it is regarded as the standard work on the subject.

This is a new paperback edition of this very popular title. Anyone can become an Urban Birder. You can do it anywhere and any time, whether you''ve got the day to spare, on your way to work, during your lunch break or just looking out of a window. Look up and you will see. The book is an inspirational look at the birdlife in our cities, or more accurately, the author''s personal journey of discovery involving encounters with racism, air rifle-toting youths, girls, alcohol, music, finding urban wildlife oases and of course, birds. David Lindo''s story is entertaining and sometimes controversial, but the one guarantee is that the reader will be left feeling inspired enough to pick up a pair of binoculars and head to the nearest park. This new edition will be launched at The British Birdwatching Fair at Rutland Water in August 2013.

" Dicionário de símbolos é um convite a explorar o mundo. Publicado originalmente na França em 1969, Dicionário de símbolos é o resultado de anos de reflexão e pesquisa de um grupo de especialistas dos mais diversos campos do saber, como arte, sociologia, religião, antropologia, psicologia, política, esoterismo, entre tantos outros, coordenados por Jean Chevalier e Alain Gheerbrant. Os mais de 1.600 verbetes oferecem um apanhado histórico da produção cultural humana. A estrutura do dicionário, marcada por comparações e remissões, torna a leitura rica e prazerosa, permitindo uma compreensão profunda das raízes dos mais diversos símbolos. Esta edição revista e atualizada convida ao mergulho no mundo simbólico e ao compartilhamento, de maneira consciente e reflexiva, dos potentes significados das criações da humanidade. Para os coordenadores, “Este Dicionário de símbolos constitui, em primeiro lugar, um inventário, sempre inacabado, do imaginário simbólico, essa encruzilhada de todo psiquismo humano, onde se reúnem o afetivo e o desejo, o conhecido e o sonhado, o consciente e o inconsciente.” "
