Essence of the Tarot: Modern Reflections on Ancient Wisdom
Essence of the Tarot differentiates itself from other Tarot books by interlacing ancient wisdom with modern insight. The first section, "Ancient Wisdom," explores the major themes of each card or archetype of the Tarot. It contains insight from many sources, including astrology, mythology, the Kabbalah, and modern psychology, and focuses on the more meditative aspect of each card. It also includes a traditional divination and ways to interpret the cards in an easy, approachable manner.
The second section, "Modern Reflections," reads similar to a diary, drawing analogies from modern cultural experiences such as literature, film, and daily life in the 21st century. It presents the stories behind the images, which help to make the cards real and alive, removing them from the realm of metaphysics and placing them squarely into everyday reality. It also encourages the reader to develop his or her own unique perspective.
The Making of the Modern Mind: The Surfacing of Consciousness in Social Thought by Philip Hodgkiss, ISBN 0485006294
The Making of the Modern Mind traces the of emergence "consciousness" in social thought from the 17th century to the 21st. Against the classical notions of consciousness and self, alternative agendas began to be developed in the 19th century by figures as diverse as Marx and Nietzsche. The struggles between classical conceptions of consciousness and these alternatives -- which promised more radical and emancipatory interpretations -- continued into the 20th century.
From the start, the concept of "consciousness" connected with a range of other notions. Questions of the self and of identity were widely disputed in the Enlightenment whilst the 20th century contributed new concerns, chiefly the philosophical issues of being and acting and the problematic status of reality for a theory of mind. Today, consciousness is viewed much more as a public and linguistic world rather than a private and mentalistic one.
The Making of the Modern Mind explores the contemporary debates around consciousness...

The debate on Italian regionalism has received renewed impetus from the disintegration of the First Republic and the emergence of the Northern League. In this important study, leading scholars of Italian history, politics, sociology and linguistics examine the nature of Italian regionalism since the formation of the modern Italian nation state.
