The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Raw and wickedly funny, this debut memoir details one womans recovery from her emotional eating disorder, while navigating divorce, discrimination, motherhood, and the madness that is Tinder dating. A riot of dark humor beginning with Jane McGuinnesss dysfunctional childhood in outback Australia, Always Hungry explores themes of patriarchy and discrimination against the overweight as it details Janes recovery from an emotional eating disorder. Janes journey to find herself is something of a curious social experiment: She walks away from her long-term marriage, returns to grad school while raising her three children in a foreign country, and gradually transforms her health. Readers will find themselves amused and aghast in equal measure as she recounts her experiences hiking the Camino de Santiago through Spain, adventuring in Greece, and subjecting herself to the horrors of post-divorce Tinder dating in her dry, self-deprecating wit. This debut memoir is truly a transformative journey in every sense, as Jane ultimately discovers that it was never food that she hungered for after all.

For readers of Im Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy and The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, a candid and heart-wrenching memoir about child abuse, family secrets, and the healing that begins once the truth is revealed and the past is confronted. Andrea is four and a half the first time her father, David, gives her a bath. Although she is young, she knows there is something strange about the way he is touching her. When her mother, Marlene, walks in to check on them, she howls and crumples to the floor--and when she opens her eyes, she is blind. Marlenes hysterical blindness lasts for weeks, but her willful blindness lasts decades. The abuse continues, and Andrea spends a childhood living with a secret she cant tell and a shame she is too afraid to name. Despite it, she survives. She builds a life and tells herself she is fine. But at age thirty-three, an unwanted grope on a New York City subway triggers her past. Suddenly unable to remember how to forget, Andrea is forced to confront her past--and finally begin to heal. This brave debut offers honest insight into a survivors journey. Readers will feel Andreas pain, her fear, and her shame--yet they will also feel her hope. And like Andrea, they will come to understand an important truth: though healing is complicated, it is possible to find joy and even grace in the wake of the most profound betrayals.

For fans of Stephanie Thornton-Plymales American Daughter and Cea Sunrise Persons North of Normal comes Leslie Johansen Nacks emotional follow-up memoir about her battle with addiction following a traumatic childhood--and her inspiring journey toward healing and happiness. In the mid-1970s, after sailing to French Polynesia with her sisters and father, Leslie Nack returned to the US with her family. In Southern California, she began the integration process back into American life, which meant being tossed back and forth between an alcoholic, mentally ill mother and an abusive, overbearing father who took her to deliver sailboats, sent her on a wilderness survival course, and recovered a stolen boat for an insurance company in the Virgin Islands. During all of that, she and her sisters attempted to free their mentally ill mother from confinement. Life couldnt be more unpredictable. At nineteen, her larger-than-life father dies suddenly in a plane crash in Mexico. In the wake of his death, she descends into addiction--caught in a downward spiral, her only solace is her next fix. Ultimately, however, Leslies story is one of resilience: she chooses sobriety and happiness, builds a healthy marriage, and raises two children. At its heart, Nineteen affirms that acquiring new skills and investing in oneself are essential to breaking free from the destructive lessons of childhood. Raw and intense but ultimately hopeful, this sequel to the popular memoir Fourteen tells the rest of Leslies turbulent--and incredible--story.

Piotr Kozlov, intrépido explorador ruso, nos sumerge en un relato apasionante de sus expediciones por las vastas extensiones de Mongolia y Amdo a principios del siglo XX. Esta obra, basada en su expedicion de 1907-1909, es un testimonio unico de sus descubrimientos arqueologicos y de su encuentro con una cultura milenaria en plena era de las grandes exploraciones.El hallazgo mas destacado de Kozlov ocurrio en 1908, cuando desenterro la antigua ciudad de Khara-Khoto, una urbe fantasma que yacia oculta en las arenas del desierto de Gobi. Sus meticulosas excavaciones revelaron una civilizacion tangut prospera y sofisticada del siglo XII, con impresionantes edificios, artefactos y murales que ofrecian una ventana unica al pasado. Kozlov documento cada detalle de este descubrimiento con una precision poco comun para la epoca, brindandonos una vision extraordinaria de la vida en esta ciudad perdida.Pero Khara-Khoto no fue el unico foco de interes de Kozlov durante esta expedicion. A lo largo de sus dos años de viaje, tambien visito los renombrados monasterios de Kumbum y Labrang, centros espirituales del budismo tibetano que en aquel entonces permanecian relativamente aislados del mundo exterior. En estas sagradas instituciones, el explorador se sumergio en la rica tradicion religiosa de la region, interactuando con monjes y explorando los vastos archivos de conocimiento que albergaban, en un momento historico en que Tibet aun mantenia su independencia.A traves de sus detalladas descripciones y fotografias pioneras, Kozlov nos transporta a un mundo lejano y exotico de principios del siglo XX, capturando un momento crucial justo antes de los grandes cambios politicos y sociales que transformarian la region. Su libro no solo es un relato de aventuras, sino tambien un valioso documento historico y antropologico que nos permite comprender mejor la compleja historia y cultura de Mongolia y Tibet en los albores de la era moderna. Mongolia, Amdo y la ciudad muerta de Khara-Khoto se erige como una obra imprescindible para aquellos interesados en la exploracion, la arqueologia y las culturas asiaticas, ofreciendo una ventana unica a un mundo que estaba a punto de cambiar para siempre.

In the year 1889 Sofya Vasilievna Kovalevskaya, Profes sor of Mathematics at the University of Stockholm, pub lished her recollections of growing up in mid-nineteenth century Russia. Professor Kovalevskaya was already an international celebrity, and partly for the wrong reasons: less as the distinguished mathematician she actually was than as a mathematical lady-a bizarre but fascinating phenomenon.* Her book was an immediate success. She had written it in Russian, but its first publication was a translation into Swedish, the language of her adopted homeland, where it appeared thinly disguised as a novel under the title From Russian Ltfe: the Rajevski Sisters (Sonja Kovalevsky. Ur ryska lifvet. Systrarna Rajevski. Heggstrom, 1889). In the following year the book came out in Russia in two *My gifted Mathematical Assistant Mr. Hammond exclaimed ...

Un científico, enfrentado a las desconcertantes fisonomías y dolores del alma, al final de su vida recapitula y pone orden no sólo en la memoria de los hechos vividos sino en el almacén de imágenes que el sueño proporciona a la conciencia. Gracias al empeño de Jung, la interpretacion de los signos que envuelven nuestra vida sera un ejercicio de veracidad imprescindible. En la primavera de 1957, cuando contaba 81 años, C. G. Jung emprendio el relato de su vida con la ayuda de su colega y amiga Aniela Jaffe. Pero en esta autobiografia las anecdotas se ponen al servicio exclusivo de su concepcion del inconsciente y del hombre. No se recogen encuentros con otras celebridades ni se pronuncian discursos sobre el curso del mundo. En estas paginas conoceremos los años de formacion, su ambivalente relacion con Freud, los viajes y los descubrimientos, y la gestacion de una religiosidad que surge de la fuente de imagenes originales que Jung descubrio en el fondo del alma. Autobiografia interior de Jung en la que confluyen su perturbador testamento vital y la radiografia de su peripecia del espiritu: memorial analitico que por su propia naturaleza escapa a toda clasificacion.
