Gynocentrism, a centuries old term, refers to the principle of female centeredness or female dominance in various social or interpersonal contexts.The term has recently enjoyed a resurgence, serving again as a descriptor of the expanding yet centuries old obsession with the rights, status, and power of women. This book traces the history of that tradition to its roots in medieval society, while being careful to note the difference between benign gynocentric acts and the more problematic examples of gynocentric culture.The essays collected in this volume were originally penned for the website Gynocentrism and its Cultural Origins, and have since been revised for this eBook edition. The essays are grouped into nine parts exploring various aspects of gynocentrism, and providing examples of the phenomenon from historical literature. The final part, Post Gynocentric Relationships explores the possibility of relationships built on the notion of friendship as an alternative to neurotic shibboleths of romantic love.

Stan''s past life catches up on him when his new wife is suddenly dragged into a mysterious portal that materialises within their cottage. Stan is forced to seek help from a local spiritualist medium. A plan of action is soon plotted and an unlikely team of rescuers are formed. The team encounter major problems when they find that maybe they have bitten off more than they had imagined. The time warp from the 20th century takes the team back to a portrayal of the 17th century where a village full of humanoids that have been resurrected from the dead, are under the influential control of ghastly sadistical, sub-terrainian creatures. The two separate but intermingling adventures of the rescue team and Stan''s wife Charlie, see many twists and turns as to who will win over at the end.

I began coaching Cricket formally in 1992, yet at the time I merely tutored players in the technicalities that I knew and with the love and the passion that I had for the Game. Soon however, my burning interest in sports and performance psychology rather took over and I became very much a maverick coach, working with players of all ages, yet from an alternative and somewhat Left-field perspective. Along the way I have experienced some very interesting and off-the-wall happenings in the course of my coaching. ""Putting a Different Spin on it"" is a collected Casebook of those encounters along the less-travelled road of Coaching Cricket from an Alternative Perspective.

This publication comprises four articles originally published by the (British) Army Bureau of Current Affairs between 1942 and 1945. These provide a fascinating insight into how India was viewed during the Second World War by at least part of the British establishment. The political situation at the time, particularly the drive for independence, is discussed, as well as the country''s economic and social conditions. Not unnaturally, India''s position in relation to the war is also covered, with one article being entirely devoted to the Indian Army, its structure and composition. "India is a far-off country, but it is one which occupies a vital position in our war effort. Not only has it become a bastion against the westward advance of Japanese aggression, it has become a test of the sincerity of our claims to be fighting this war for the freedom of mankind. In India the armed forces of the United Nations - America, Britain and India herself - combine to resist the common enemy of civilisation in the east. In India I had the high honour of placing before the leaders of that great country the British Government''s far-reaching offer of freedom and self-government." - Stafford Cripps. CONTENTS "India Faces Total War" by Colonel D. H. Cole "My Mission to India" by Sir Stafford Cripps "The Indian Army" by An Indian Army Officer "Indian Background" by Captain Peter Wright The cover features the post-independence flag of India because although independence was not finally achieved until 1947 the Second World War was the immediate prelude to it. In the centre is a picture of men from the 4th Indian Division holding a captured German flag in North Africa.

No matter what age we are, or what ability we have, or what level we play at - in sport we all encounter the same kinds of inner pressures, and our reactions all follow the same kinds of pathways. Unlike Forrest Gump and ping pong, we all suffer from the things that don''t come easy to us. These complications seem to make our game much harder to play at times. However, virtually all these complications can be traced back to what golfing legend Bobby Jones once described as ""The 6 inch playing field between our ears."" Sport should just be about the pleasure, the fun and the rewards - not the complications and the angst! Mind How You Play sets us on a journey - a fascinating search for the real gold of mastering a consistent approach to sporting excellence by gaining an understanding of ourselves. This book will enable you to change your perspectives about your sporting practice and performance, and through that change your way of being in your game!

In this new work, the final walk, takes the watershed northwards and is set on Orkney. The wilderness of Scotland offers something special to walkers, nature-lovers and indeed, to any thoughtful, reflective human-beings. LOTHIAN LIFE. The Watershed of Scotland is a line that separates East from West and divides those river basin areas which drain towards the North Sea on the one hand, and those which flow west into the Atlantic Ocean on the other. It meanders from Peel Fell on the English border all the way to the top at Duncansby Head: over 754 miles (1,200km) through almost every kind of terrain. The Watershed follows the high ground, and offers wide vistas down almost every major river valley, towards towns and communities, into the heartlands of Scotland. Walking with Wildness leads the reader through breathtaking, hitherto mostly unknown landscapes, providing valuable advice for walkers on the way.

A study of one of the most significant medieval manuscripts containing music, and its owner, sheds light on many aspects of contemporary culture. Hermann P tzlinger (+ 1469), the university-educated schoolmaster of the monastery of St Emmeram, Regensburg, was the creator of one of the largest and most intriguing collections of late-medieval polyphonic music to have survivedfrom Central Europe. His music book, the so-called ''St Emmeram Codex'' (Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 14274), was compiled in the years immediately following his graduation from Vienna University in 1439. It contains aunique cross-section of polyphonic vocal music not only from the West but also from Central and Eastern Europe; moreover, it is only one among more than a hundred scholarly manuscripts that he copied or acquired during his career. This volume presents an in-depth study of the manuscript and of the professional networks and academic culture within which it was compiled; its context as part of one of the largest surviving personal libraries of its time is also explored. It will appeal to all those interested in early music and other aspects of late-medieval life and culture. Dr IAN RUMBOLD is an independent scholar; PETER WRIGHT is Professor of Music at the University of Nottingham.

In 2005 Peter Wright walked the 1,200 km length of the Watershed in 64 days. Walking along the very spine of Scotland he was struck by the magnificence and diversity of the landscapes which his original and little publicised route exposed him to. Nature''s Peace celebrates these landscapes as never before through stunning photographs, taking the reader on an imaginary journey from the English border in the south to the Shetland Isles and Unst at the very northern tip of Britain. Wright brings his journey to life with vivid descriptions of the land''s history and discussions about its future.

The Watershed of Scotland is a line that separates east from west; that divides those river basin areas which drain towards the North Sea on the one hand, and those which flow west into the Atlantic Ocean on the other. It''s a line that meanders from Peel Fell on the English border all the way to the top at Duncansby Head, near John O''Groats - over 745 miles, through almost every kind of terrain. The Watershed follows the high ground, and offers wide vistas down almost every major river valley, towards towns and communities, into the heartlands of Scotland. Ribbon of Wildness provides a vivid introduction to this geographic and landscape feature, which has hitherto been largely unknown. The rock, bog, forest, moor and mountain are all testament to The Watershed''s richly varied natural state.
