The Singapore and Melaka Straits

Violence, Security and Diplomacy in the 17th Century

By: Peter Borschberg

The Singapore and Melaka Straits are a place where regional and long-distance maritime trading networks converge, linking Europe, the Mediterranean, eastern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian subcontinent with key centres of trade in Thailand, Indochina, insular Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Japan. The first half of the 17th century brought heightened political, commercial and diplomatic activity to this region. It had long been clear to both the Portuguese and the Dutch that whoever controlled the waters off modern Singapore gained a firm grip on regional as well as long-distance intra-Asian trade. By the early 1600s Portuguese power and prestige were waning and the arrival of the Dutch East India Company constituted a major threat. Moreover, the rapid expansion and growing power of the Acehnese Empire, and rivalry between Johor and Aceh, was creating a new context for European trade in Asia.

Jacques de Coutre's Singapore and Johor 1594-c.1625

By: Peter Borschberg

The Flemish gem trader Jacques de Coutre visited Southeast Asia in the early 17th century, and his lengthy account of his experiences provides a glimpse of Singapore, Johor and the Straits of Melaka during an era for which little written material has survived. This special edition, which presents highlights from the full translation, is designed to provide students, teachers and the wider public with a glimpse of this tumultuous region when it was still controlled by local rulers, and Western colonialism was just gaining a foothold. The author describes dangerous intrigues involving fortune hunters and schemers, as well as local rulers and couriers, adventures that on several occasions nearly cost him his life.

Hypnosis in the Management of Sleep Disorders

By: William C. Kohler,Peter J. Kurz

Hypnosis in the Management of Sleep Disorders combines history and medical science to show that the use of hypnosis and hypnotic techniques is effective in the treatment of sleep disorders -- and that this is increasingly validated through modern tools (computers, fMRI images). Dr. Kohler and Kurz show readers that hypnosis and hypnotic techniques are not to be feared or avoided, but that their use can contribute to effective, non-intrusive, and cost-effective approaches to the treatment of sleep problems. This volume is a much needed reference for therapists and their patients alike on how hypnosis can be helpful in the treatment of certain sleep disorders.

The Ashgate Research Companion to the Thirty Years' War

By: Olaf Asbach,Peter Schröder

The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648) remains a puzzling and complex subject for students and scholars alike. This is hardly surprising since it is often contested among historians whether it is actually appropriate to speak of a single war or a series of conflicts. Similarly emphasis is also put on the different motives for going to war, as conflicting religious and political interests were involved. This research companion brings together leading scholars in the field to synthesize the range of existing research on the war, which is still fragmented and divided along national historical lines, and to further explore the complexities of the conflict using an innovative comparative approach. The companion is designed to provide scholars and graduate students with a comprehensive and authoritative overview of research on one of the most destructive conflicts in European history.

Peter 2.0

By: Peter B. Scott-Morgan

Aceasta este uimitoarea poveste adevărată a omului de știință Peter Scott-Morgan: el a devenit prima persoană din lume care, îmbinând umanitatea cu robotica, s-a transformat în cyborg uman: Peter 2.0. Peter, strălucit om de știință, află că va pierde tot ce iubește. Soțul. Familia. Prietenii. Posibilitatea de a călători. Toate vor dispărea. Însă nu renunță. Jură că nu va lăsa să se întâmple asta și caută un nou început… Peter are boala neuronală motorie, o afecțiune despre care află că-i va distruge celulele nervoase și îi va pune capăt vieții. Însă, folosindu-și cunoștințele științifice, mânat de speranță și dragoste, își învinge teama și disperarea și pornește pe un nou drum, care-i permite nu numai să supraviețuiască, ci și să facă progrese uluitoare. Cercetările sale în domeniul roboticii demonstrează că un diagnostic terminal este negociabil, lucru care va rescrie cu siguranță viitorul. Și va schimba lumea. „Povestea lui Peter este una dintre cele mai convingătoare pe care le vei auzi vreodată. Îi îndemn pe toți să o citească." – Stephen Fry „Scott-Morgan este cu adevărat unic. În felul în care își povestește dragostea, mai degrabă decât în detaliile tehnice ale transformării lui în cyborg, stă reușita cărții sale." – The Times „Sunt uluitoare optimismul, curajul și capacitatea lui Peter de a găsi soluții radicale la probleme care au pus în încurcătură cele mai strălucite minți din Marea Britanie." – Daily Telegraph „Fascinant și extrem de emoționant." – Sun

Kaspar Hauser

The Struggle for the Spirit: a Contribution Towards an Understanding of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

By: Peter Tradowsky

In 1828 a teenage boy was discovered on the streets of Nuremberg. Barely able to walk, he clutched a letter in his hand. This youth, Kaspar Hauser, who couldn't properly speak or write, was soon to become an international phenomenon known as "the Child of Europe." The story of Kaspar Hauser presents many mysteries. According to his account, the young boy spent most of his life confined in a darkened space. Unable to stand up, and with no knowledge of his captors, he was fed a diet of bread and water. Eventually released from this macabre prison, he survived an assassination attempt only to be stabbed to death in 1833. Why was a child kept in such squalid circumstances? Who were his parents? Who was responsible for such a cruel attack on childhood? Who murdered him? In this seminal work Peter Tradowsky addresses these questions through the insights of Anthroposophy. His analysis reveals some of the secrets of Kaspar Hauser's short life, and the occult significance of his incarnation, spiritual nature and individuality.
