Atheism: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Atheism is often considered to be a negative or pessimistic belief which is characterized by a rejection of values and purpose and a fierce opposition to religion. This Very Short Introduction sets out to dispel the myths that surround atheism, arguing that most western atheism is so-named only because it exists in a tradition in which theism is the norm. Julian Baggini instead asserts that atheists are typically naturalists, who believe that meaning and
morality are possible in a finite, natural world.This second edition includes a new chapter covering the impact and legacy of ‘New Atheism’, a powerful new movement in atheism in the early twenty first century, driven by books from authors such as Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, and which is having a profound impact across the Western world. Baggini also considers whether East Asia has been historically atheist, and atheism in recent European history, before exploring the position of atheists around the world today. Throughout, the book
presents an intellectual case for atheism that rests as much upon positive arguments for its truth as on negative arguments against religion.Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Athena to Barbie: Bodies, Archetypes, and Women’s Search for Self
Athena to Barbie explores the vexed nature of being a woman. It maps the four corners of impossible choice a female faces because of the female body–her body as spiritual space (Mary), as political space (Athena), as erotic space (Venus), and as materialist space (Barbie). The book tracks the difficulty women face in understanding themselves as someone who has, but is not only, a body. The question of identity is particularly fraught and complicated when it comes to women–because the ability to bear children is a double-edged sword. Across time (including right now), having a womb has shaped how women are viewed and treated in negative ways, and women’s childbearing abilities have been used to stereotype, oppress, and constrain them. Pregnancy is powerful, but the possibility of pregnancy comes with impossible pressures and choices. This book takes on the task of reconciliation–how women can understand themselves in light of their bodies–through an intense dive into history, art, literature, theology, and, particularly, philosophy.

Atlas de Paris au Moyen-Age 2018: Espace urbain, habitat, société, religion et lieux de pouvoir
Paris ― 200 000 habitants en 1300 ― est la plus grande ville de l’Occident médiéval. Elle devient au xIIIe siècle la capitale du puissant royaume de France vers laquelle affluent intellectuels, hommes d’affaires et artistes. La croissance sans précédent de la cité n’a pas manqué de laisser une empreinte durable. Dans bien des quartiers, le tracé actuel des rues reflète les opérations de lotissement qui présidèrent à l’installation des nouveaux venus au cours du Moyen Age. Si peu d’édifices médiévaux sont aujourd’hui visibles dans leur quasi-intégrité, telles Notre-Dame ou la Sainte-Chapelle, beaucoup sont conservés de manière fragmentaire, comme le Louvre de Philippe Auguste, la salle des gens d’armes de la Conciergerie ou le réfectoire du couvent des Cordeliers. Ces vestiges ― et bien d’autres ― jalonnent la trame urbaine dont les aspects changeant au fil d’un millénaire sont restitués par les images anciennes. Entre la “ville idéale” rêvée par les rois et la cité grouillante aux maisons serrées les unes contre les autres, aux ruelles étroites et nauséabondes, se dessine le visage du Paris médiéval.Read more

Atlas of Amazing Architecture: The most incredible buildings you’ve (probably) never heard of
This fact-filled guide for kids 7 to 17 explores the world of architecture as you’ve never seen it before, from tiny shacks to vast palaces – and everything in between!Praise for Atlas of Amazing Architecture
”Given the global spread of coverage and the unusual buildings chosen, this is a must for children’s history, art, and architecture collections”.– Booklist Starred Review
”A delightful and informative trip around the globe”. — School Library Journal
”Peter Allen has written and illustrated a book that is stunning. I am sure there will be many, like me, who will revisit it time and time again and still find out something new and interesting”. — Just Imagine
”A vibrant, wonderful journey across the world and will open the eyes of young readers to the awe-inspiring architecture all around us”. — The BookActivist
”Both young and older readers will be drawn in, delighting in a wide-ranging exploration of fascinating buildings who are now getting a bit more exposure thanks to this fun and informative book”. — The AOI
”Bursting with fascinating detail, this book is ideal for any budding young architect”. — BookTrust
”A wonderful book to generate interest in the built environment”. — Goodreads
This atlas of architectural wonders eschews the classic children’s book fare of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal, and instead takes a broader view of what constitutes amazing architecture. Buildings include: the Jameh mosque of Isfahan in Iran, Native American plank houses in New Mexico, Stave Churches in Norway, The Djinguereber Mosque in Mali, and extraordinary 18th century wooden churches on Kizhi Island, Russia.
Over 50 buildings span all the continents equally throughout history. Each of these buildings is visually striking and architecturally noteworthy; they introduce new engineering technologies or define a movement or capture the essence of a moment in human history. However, despite their significance, they are, for the most part, not part of the main Western architectural canon.
This book seeks out a more diverse, inclusive approach to what constitutes amazing architecture, and presents it with fresh illustration and clear, punchy text.
Established illustrator Peter Allen, whose work has been published extensively by Usborne and Walker, brings the illustrations alive in his typical playful and dynamic style .

Attached: Are you Anxious, Avoidant or Secure? How the science of adult attachment can help you find – and keep – love
An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.
‘A groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship.’ – John Gray, PhD., bestselling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory – the most advanced relationship science in existence today – can help us find and sustain love.
Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment explains that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:
Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back.
Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.
Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.
With fascinating psychological insight, quizzes and case studies, Dr Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognize the styles of others so that you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship.

AUSLAN FINGERSPELLING FOR TOTS: Little Beginner’s Handbook: Australian Sign Language (LET’S SIGN)
Fingerspelling is a valuable life skill that many adults can still remember from learning in their childhood decades earlier.
Each letter of the alphabet is represented on the hands, providing a direct link to English and literacy that is not only vital for deaf children and youngsters with additional communication and language needs, but can potentially benefit all youngsters from infancy onwards.This colourful little resource includes
- Outline of the role of fingerspelling in Australian Sign Language
- Clearly illustrated handshapes and positions with two separate views
- One letter per page with ‘reader view from front’ and ‘signers own hands’
- Includes examples of signs based on fingerspelling
- Sample short words to practice
- Large graphics and text
- Supported by the Let’s Sign series for learners
- Useful for learners of Auslan and Sign Supported English (SSE)
Designed to encourage the use of fingerspelling from an early age and demonstrates two views of each letter – as the viewer sees it from the front and as the signer sees it on their own hands.
Switching hands and trying to work out which hand is which is common with learners and
having both views is helpful in establishing good signing practice.Fingerspelling is an important and integrated part of Auslan and represents each letter of the alphabet on the hands. It can be used to spell out whole words, abbreviated forms or initials.
It can be easily learned but needs a lot of practice to read back and to develop fluency in producing the rhythms and patterns.For consistency in this resource, all the graphics depict the letters as formed by a right-handed signer. Left-handed signers will use the reverse mirror image of this.
