This system uses a microphone to pick up sound directionally and wirelessly sends it to the receivers in the ear, for people who have difficulty understand speech within a noisy environment. I brought the system brand new for £ last year but have only been used a handful of times, so in very good condition. The only reason I am selling the product is because my condition has deteriorated so is no longer suitable for my needs. Phonak Roger Pen comes in ruby red with the carry case and charger.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lowry, Dave, PUBLISHER: Tuttle Publishing, The goals of the budo -- the martial arts and ways of Japan lie in refining the body and spirit. These goals are not always the obvious ones -- and are learned only through the guidance and direction of great teachers. The techniques, methods, and rituals of the sensei can serve as guides to a well-lived life -- and provide invaluable lessons for today's martial artists.

With its focus on traditional martial arts, and fascinating stories that illustrate key martial arts principles, Traditions will be required reading for serious martial artists.

The Unknown Karen Horney: Essays on Gender, Culture, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Horney, Karen / Paris, Bernard, PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, This volume of writings by the distinguished psychoanalyst Karen Horney () completes the publication of her unpublished and uncollected work. It includes pieces on feminine psychology and the relations between the sexes as well as on other aspects of psychoanalytic theory. The editor's introductions set these works in context, showing their significance for Horney's thought and their relation to her other writings. The material in Part 1 provides an important supplement to Feminine Psychology, the book that established Horney as the first great psychoanalytic feminist. It reveals aspects of Horney's early thought not fully developed elsewhere, along with the views about feminine psychology and the relations between the sexes that reflect her later thinking. Part 2 deepens our understanding of the final two phases of Karen Horney's thought -- her break with Freud and proposal of a new psychoanalytic paradigm in the s, and her mature theory, developed in the s. In presenting eighteen previously unpublished pieces, four ong>essaysong> that have not been available in English, and other texts that have been difficult to locate, this collection makes accessible an important segment of Horney's work.

Palladio's Children: Essays on Everyday Environment and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Habraken, N. J. / Teicher, Jonathan, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Based on many years of personal observation, Palladio's Children critically examines the role of the architect as a professional descendent of Palladio, and as an heir to his architectural legacy. Seven innovative and carefully crafted ong>essaysong> explore the widening ideological schism between today's architects whose core values, identity and education remain rooted in the Renaissance legacy of creating artful 'masterpieces', and the practical demands on a profession which acts within an evolving, ubiquitous and autonomous built environment or 'field'. Clearly written yet expressing complex, evolving ideas, this extended argument opens a new forum of debate across design theory, professional practice and academic issues. Moving the subject on from a historical perspective, Habraken shows how architects are increasingly involved in the design of everyday buildings. This must lead to a reassessment of architects' identities, values and education, and the contribution of the architect in the shaping of the built environment.

The Andes Imagined: Indigenismo, Society, and Modernity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Coronado, Jorge, PUBLISHER: University of Pittsburgh Press, In "The Andes Imagined, " Jorge Coronado not only examines but also recasts the "indigenismo" movement of the early s. Coronado departs from the common critical conception of "indigenismo" as rooted in novels and short stories, and instead analyzes an expansive range of work in poetry, ong>essaysong>, letters, newspaper writing, and photography. He uses this evidence to show how the movement's artists and intellectuals mobilize the figure of the Indian to address larger questions about becoming modern, and he focuses on the contradictions at the heart of "indigenismo" as a cultural, social, and political movement. By breaking down these different perspectives, Coronado reveals an underlying current in which intellectuals and artists frequently deployed their indigenous subject in order to imagine new forms of political inclusion. He suggests that these deployments rendered particular variants of modernity and make "indigenismo" representational practices a privileged site for the examination of the region's cultural negotiation of modernization. His analysis reveals a paradox whereby the un-modern "indio" becomes the symbol for the modern itself. "The Andes Imagined" offers an original and broadly based engagement with indigenismo and its intellectual contributions, both in relation to early twentieth-century Andean thought and to larger questions of theorizing modernity.
