UNDERSTANDING AND WORKING WITH LIFE'S MYSTERIES is an expansion of the philosophical concepts discussed in Per Madsen's previous book, The Metamorphosis of Charles Mott. In the latter, our experience of reality was described as depending upon our personal perception of the "way things are." It was explained that we are the creators of our own reality and that we can choose the experience we want, if we know how. UNDERSTANDING AND WORKING WITH LIFE'S MYSTERIES is also an instructive manual on how to create the reality the reader desires. Is this book for you? Ask yourself the following questions: Are you achieving what you want in life? Are you prone to illness and wonder why? Are you worried by the state of the world and what is going to happen to you? Do you feel that you've got the cards stacked against you and that you can't win? Do you wonder why some people are rich and some poor? Do you wonder why some are born with a fatal illness while some are as healthy and strong as a horse? If you answer no to the first question and yes to the others, UNDERSTANDING AND WORKING WITH LIFE'S MYSTERIES may just provide some of the answers you are looking for. Per A. Madsen Now a retired business executive residing in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Per Madsen spent most of his productive years in Europe in charge of automotive sales and service for a large automobile manufacturer. Keenly interested in philosophy, he devoted much of his spare time to the study of various books on the subject. As a life member of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. he was introduced to the Edgar Cayce readings and became a volunteer for the Association engaged in the research and writing of medical Research Bulletins. Believing that consciousness, and particularly human consciousness, is in continuous evolution towards higher levels, he attempts to influence the direction of his own evolution by constantly exposing his mind to new input of philosophical and metaphysical nature.

What is autism and where has it come from? Increased diagnostic rates, the rise of the 'neurodiversity' movement, and growing autism journalism, have recently fuelled autism's fame and controversy. The metamorphosis of autism is the first book to explain our current fascination with autism by linking it to a longer history of childhood development. Drawing from a staggering array of primary sources, Bonnie Evans traces autism back to its origins in the early twentieth century and explains why the idea of autism has always been controversial and why it experienced a 'metamorphosis' in the 1960s and 1970s. Evans takes the reader on a journey of discovery from the ill-managed wards of 'mental deficiency' hospitals, to high-powered debates in the houses of parliament, and beyond. The book will appeal to a wide market of scholars and others interested in autism.

This critical study looks at the first four decades of Charles Tomlinson’s poetic career, and is the only published full-scale, exclusive treatment of his poetry. Tomlinson is a major British poet whose work has received more recognition in North America and continental Europe than it has in his own country, where still, in some quarters, its character is misunderstood and therefore misjudged. The purpose of Kirkham’s study is to increase understanding and appreciation of the exceptional achievement of Tomlinson’s poetry, emphasising both the startling originality of his vision – a unified vision of a natural-human world – and the subtlety of his poetic art. The study is a reading of the poems which aims to show what they yield to close scrutiny and to remove misconceptions. Known for its analytical rendering of sense-impressions and its avoidance of the personal pronoun, the objectivism of Tomlinson’s poetry is not an exercise in asceticism, but a means of enlarging the circumference of the perceiving self, an expansion of self which is not at the same time an inflation of the self-regarding ego. Its theme is not objects as such but relations, the relation of the perceiving self to the other, of the human to the non-human world. Its reputation for cool detachment is based on a misreading: it is a poetry of energy and excitement, which combines self-restraint with passionate conviction.

From 1803 to 1807, Charles Brockden Brown served as editor and chief contributor to the Literary Magazine, and American Register, a popular Philadelphia miscellany. His position allowed him to observe and comment upon life in the United States and transatlantic world during the nineteenth century's first decade. This book considers how Brown's Literary Magazine contributed to the development of cultural cohesiveness and political stability in the young United States. It explores the intellectual and cultural setting in which this Philadelphia miscellany was published, the political writing that appears in what Brown claimed was a politically neutral venue, and the social and cultural criticism that attempts to guide the development of the American character. During his twenty years as an author, he participated in disseminating texts of cultural and literary worth. Brown's essays and reviews assisted in the establishment of reading habits in America and influenced the public reception of the early American press.
