It seemed the perfect way to avoid three million in taxes on a five-million-pound estate: change the trust arrangement Everyone in the family agreed to support the heiress, ravishing raven-haired Camilla Galloway, in her court petition -- except dreary Cousin Deirdre, who suddenly demanded a small fortune for her signature. Then Deirdre had a terrible accident. That was when the young London barristers handling the trust -- Cantrip, Selena, Timothy, Ragwort, and Julia -- summoned their Oxford friend Professor Hilary Tamar to Lincoln's Inn.

What is it that makes Nietzsche Nietzsche? In The Shortest Shadow, Alenka Zupancic counters the currently fashionable appropriation of Nietzsche as a philosopher who was "ahead of his time" but whose time has finally come -- the rather patronizing reduction of his often extraordinary statements to mere opinions that we can "share." Zupancic argues that the definitive Nietzschean quality is his very unfashionableness, his being out of the mainstream of his or any time.

To restore Nietzsche to a context in which the thought "lives on its own credit," Zupancic examines two aspects of his philosophy. First, in "Nietzsche as Metapsychologist," she revisits the principal Nietzschean themes -- his declaration of the death of God (which had a twofold meaning, "God is dead" and "Christianity survived the death of God"), the ascetic ideal, and nihilism -- as ideas that are very much present in our hedonist postmodern condition. Then, in the second part of the book, she considers Nietzsche's figure of the Noon and its consequences for his notion of the truth. Nietzsche describes the Noon not as the moment when all shadows disappear but as the moment of "the shortest shadow" -- not the unity of all things embraced by the sun, but the moment of splitting, when "one turns into two." Zupancic argues that this notion of the Two as the minimal and irreducible difference within the same animates all of Nietzsche's work, generating its permanent and inherent tension..

This book provides a short introduction to the contemplative or mystical spiritual way. It is a rare book in that it is based upon the everyday experience of the reader rather than upon dogma or religious concepts. The author lays out the extraordinary spiritual discoveries that can be made by looking at ordinary experience. For example, he helps us to observe that we do not actually possess anything at all, not even the entity that we refer to as "me." He goes on to indicate the transformations resulting from being in God instead of in self or ego. In succession he deals with overcoming suffering, presence of God, love and compassion, kingdom of God, and spiritual practice. The chapters each end with a You find out exercise so that the reader can take what has just been read and test it against his or her own experience. The book offers several features to make it easier for the reader. It gives a logical, step-by-step presentation of the path of spiritual realization starting with dissatisfaction and ending with divine union. Written simply and clearly, it assumes only a minimum knowledge of the Christian scriptures and story. The book includes a number of relevant quotes from the scriptures and from contemplatives new and old. The Shortest Way Home: a contemplative path to God is a book for those seeking a radically new and deeper way to God..

The beginning of winter is marked by the solstice, the shortest day of the year. Long ago, people grew afraid when each day had fewer hours of sunshine than the day before. Over time, they realized that one day each year the sun started moving toward them again. In lyrical prose and cozy illustrations, this book explains what the winter solstice is and how it has been observed by various cultures throughout history. Many contemporary holiday traditions were borrowed from ancient solstice celebrations. Simple science activities, ideas for celebrating the day in school and at home, and a further-reading list are included.

Illustrated by Jesse Reisch..
