The ArtsMay 2023Modern European cinema and love
by Richard Rushton
Modern European cinema and love examines nine European directors whose films contain stories about romantic love and marriage. The directors are Jean Renoir, Ingmar Bergman, Alain Resnais, Michelangelo Antonioni, Agnès Varda, François Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard and Éric Rohmer. The book approaches questions of love and marriage from a philosophical perspective, applying the ideas of authors such as Stanley Cavell, Leo Bersani, Luce Irigaray and Alain Badiou, while also tracing key concepts from Freudian psychoanalysis. Each of the filmmakers engages deeply with notions of modern love and marriage, often in positive ways, but also in ways that question the institutions of love, marriage and the 'couple'.

July 2021Lao Tzu Is Not Angry-Thirteen Lectures on Lao Tzu's Mind and Philosophy
by Liu Xuyi
This book combines the three editions of Tao Te Ching, the silk book and the Chu bamboo slips. It is the first time to interpret Lao Tzu from the perspective of mentality and philosophy. It not only approaches the original meaning of Lao Tzu's thought as much as possible, but is also close to modern people's eagerness for quick success. The drawbacks and the needs of the soul. For contemporary people who are in anxiety, depression, anger, impetuousness and life pressure, it provides a way to relieve and practice, so as to help readers more accurately absorb the great wisdom of Lao Tzu. In this revision, the following work has been done: the language should be as popular as possible; a number of original incomplete statements have been revised; and new research findings have been added.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2002Women on the Renaissance stage
Anna of Denmark and female masquing in the Stuart court 1590–1619
by Clare McManus
This work reassesses women's relationship to performance in early modern England. It investigates the staging conditions, practices and gendering of Anna of Denmark's performances, bringing current critical theorisations of race, class, gender, space and performance to bear on the female courtly body in dance, staging, scenery, costume and make-up in the Jacobean court. The study establishes a tradition of early seventeenth-century female performance which constitutes a trajectory for the emergence of the professional Restoration female actor. Anna of Denmark, wife of James VI of Scotland/James I, was a great patron of Ben Johnson, among others. ;

MedicineMay 2013Therapeutic landscapes
A history of English hospital gardens since 1800
by Clare Hickman
Therapeutic landscapes uniquely brings together historical and contemporary debates on the use of the garden as a therapeutic space. Hickman narrates the story of the landscapes associated with psychiatric, general and specialist medical institutions and asks what did they look like, how were they used and how did this relate to medical concepts? It traces the history of these gardens from the grottos, Chinese galleries and summer houses of elite nineteenth-century lunatic asylums, through Florence Nightingale's championing of the Victorian pavilion hospital design with its courtyard gardens, and the open-air institutions of the Edwardian period with their revolving chalets. It concludes with a discussion of new hospital gardens being created by designers such as Dan Pearson in the twenty-first century. This book will be essential reading for those interested in the histories of place, space and material culture, and in particular medical historians, garden historians and historical geographers. ;
