After the launch of "How to Become a Mistress," dozens of topics immediately flew into my head that had not yet been covered in this book. Capturing the versatility of BDSM in one book just proved impossible. And I fear that even two books is going to be too little. "More BDSM" is the logical sequel to "How to Become a Mistress." In this book I go even deeper into the versatility of BDSM. All kinds of game forms and materials are discussed that have not been discussed before.BDSM is difficult to capture in a handful of words. That will always be a challenge, even though it is my passion and lifestyle. There is still so much unnecessary taboo surrounding this subject and so many misunderstandings. I like to introduce the world to the loving intensity of BDSM. A side that - to my mind - gets far too little attention. It is so much more than flapping a whip in a sexy outfit. Its about merging, finding each other in the deeper layers of our being and accepting yourself and each other as a whole.

With the book How to become a Mistress, Mistress Moriah presents her candid and special view, from her experience as a Mistress and lifestyle Femdom lady. Her views have emerged from walking her own path and from the many conversations she has had with dominants and subs over the years.She hopes this book can be an inspiration and give more insight into the deeper layers of experience. The book forms a practical reference book for certain acts (from Age play to Whips), as a small handhold in the wonderful world of BDSM. Questions such as How safe is sounding?, How does electro work?, Where is the best place to hit with the cane? or What is the deeper experience of Needleplay? are covered in detail. The book informs, in an engaging way that makes the content an enjoyable read. It is an absolute must-have for the novice or discovering Domina, but just as much for social workers who want to understand more about BDSM.

In this volume, the author provides an overview of English concepts of translation into the vernacular from 1475 to 1611, the main period of the English Renaissance. The corpus consists of more than 200 documents, all of which are the front matters of translations published during this period. Almost all of these documents, which range in length from a few lines to around thirty pages of small print, are epistles dedicatory or prefaces. The Renaissance is a period in which a concerted effort was made to turn to Latin and Greek authors in order to profit from their wisdom, learning, and art. Translations for the benefit of readers who are not proficient in foreign languages form a distinct branch of these endeavors as yet hardly recognized in their true nature, extent, and historical importance, namely vernacular Christian humanism.

El Trust es la aportación más importante al Derecho universal de la cultura jurídica anglosajona, y ha demostrado ser una herramienta versátil y eficiente para la gestión y protección de patrimonios con todo tipo de finalidades. Desde su origen medieval, ha evolucionado adoptando diversas formas y estructuras en diferentes paises y jurisdicciones, con interesantes adaptaciones a la mayoria de los paises de Derecho civil. Aunque los Trusts son un elemento presente en la practica notarial española y de la mayoria de paises de nuestro entorno, el Derecho español no los regula ni reconoce, aunque permite el ejercicio parcial de muchas de sus facultades en instituciones plenamente admitidas. Ha llegado el momento de flexibilizar nuestro purismo doctrinal y jurisprudencial para acometer la gran pirueta legislativa de la creacion de un Trust "a la española", recogiendo en una sola institucion todas esas facultades legales dispersas en diferentes figuras. El claro ejemplo de Italia, cuna del Derecho romano, que lo ha aceptado por dos vias diferentes, no puede ser desaprovechado mucho tiempo mas. La incorporacion del Trust al Derecho español es una necesidad apremiante para aportar seguridad juridica a nuestra practica diaria y hacer nuestro sistema juridico mas competitivo a nivel internacional, aunque requerira una buena tecnica juridica que equilibre la flexibilidad anglosajona y la formalidad regulatoria tipica de los sistemas latino-germanicos. La elaboracion de una normativa propia no estara exenta de dificultades, entre las que sobresaldran el tratamiento fiscal del Trust, los problemas interpretativos de la doctrina y los tribunales, la identificacion de su titular y beneficiarios o la prevencion de posibles violaciones del orden publico patrimonial (legitimas, creditos, pactos comisorios). A pesar de todo, muchos juristas pensamos que existen motivos suficientes para superar nuestro viejo inmovilismo e iniciar el camino hacia la plena admision del Trust en el Derecho español. España no puede seguir siendo una isla carente de regulacion rodeada de Trusts operando legalmente en todos los paises de nuestro entorno.

Los estudios de la literatura mística del Siglo de Oro tienden a privilegiar la retórica de lo inefable como premisa de análisis, es decir, cómo se soslaya la dificultad, si no imposibilidad, de representar experiencias contemplativas refractarias a la expresion linguistica. Los siete estudios aqui agavillados comparten un enfoque analitico complementario: las estrategias poeticas abocadas a lo que si afirman los misticos españoles sobre la presencia de Dios como experiencia directa, el afan pedagogico que vertebra la representacion del extasis. Los temas de estos ensayos incluyen la reinterpretacion mistica de una leyenda monastica medieval, la imagineria poetica de santa Teresa de Avila y san Juan de la Cruz, la impronta en sus escritos del Pseudo-Dionisio, la filosofia medica y el biblismo humanista, el poemario de la santa carmelita en la historia literaria de la mistica cristiana, su transverberacion extatica en un soneto de Lope, y el juego del ajedrez como alegoria mistica.

Comedia palatina con abundantes rasgos cómicos, El alcaide de sí mismo fue compuesta por un joven Calderón antes de 1627. La intriga gira en torno a dinámicas de amores, celos, secretos y enemistades en la corte de Napoles y en una imaginaria Belflor. El principal resorte comico es el trueque de identidades entre el principe Federico de Sicilia y el villano Benito; gracias a este equivoco, Federico y Margarita, princesa de Napoles, logran finalmente casarse esquivando todos los obstaculos a su amor. Tras una breve introduccion, que da cuenta de la estructura de la obra y de su gran fortuna en la Europa del siglo xvii, este volumen ofrece un detallado estudio textual y el texto critico anotado.

Welcome to Graywater, a river town taught to prize calm. When a state "Harmony" initiative arrives with friendly stickers, listening walls, and predictive kiosks, the conveniences feel harmlessuntil doors act like checkpoints, benches become "standing bars," and kindness requires tokens. A librarian with a pencil ledger, a mechanic with a rolling stool, a cafeteria worker who feeds people before forms, and a reluctant administrator who once signed the wrong memos learn to resist with ordinary tools: chairs, house rules taped at jaw height, and the stubborn claim that a door is a commons. As audits, algorithms, and budget tricks escalate, the town invents humane policy in publicunplugging devices, publishing errors in chalk, and choosing consent over compliance. Speak with Care is a civic fable about soft power, community resilience, and the practice of freedom: if the map sings, bring chairs; install supports immediately, verify later, in situ. Ducks allowed. From courtrooms to porches and library foyers to the soup line, Graywater makes rights muscle memory: benches as nodes, forecasts ask for chairsnot closuresand a blackout proves the town doesnt need dashboards. It sticks.

A critical first-hand appraisal of the activities, achievements, and importance of the Jewish Brigade by IDF Major-General Shlomo Shamir (Rabinowicz), its Covert Internal Commander on behalf of the Haganah and the Jewish national institutions in Palestine. Some myths surrounding the Brigades activities are also dealt with in this appraisal. The Jewish Brigade, a unit of the British Army during WW2, played a crucial role on behalf of world Jewry in the fight against Nazi Germany. Comprised mainly of Jewish volunteers from Palestine, the Brigade was formed in 1944 after four years of struggle for deployment as a fighting force. The Brigade participated in the Italian campaign, distinguishing itself in the battles along the Senio River and proving that Jewish soldiers could fight as a unified force against a well-trained enemy and prevail. Beyond combat and under Shamirs guidance, the Brigade was the first to search for, meet, and care for survivors of the Holocaust. Despite British disapproval, its members worked at numerous Displaced Persons camps in Germany, particularly at Bergen-Belsen, and facilitated the illegal journeys of many survivors to Palestine. The story of the Brigade therefore, exemplified a dedicated pursuit of both military goals and Jewish national aspirations. With many Brigade members subsequently becoming leading figures in the fledgling Israel Defence Forces (IDF), the book shines a light on how the experience of these Jewish volunteers in the British Army was irreplaceable in shaping both the military and political landscape of the nascent State of Israel.

De peste variolarum ("Acerca de la peste de viruelas") es un conjunto de elegías compuestas por Juan Ignacio Molina (Villa Alegre, 1740-Bolonia, 1829) en torno a su experiencia como enfermo de viruelas a temprana edad. Años mas tarde, el jesuita retoma el asunto y escribe una segunda version, mas extensa y posiblemente dirigida a un publico europeo: De peste variolis vulgo dicta ("Acerca de la comunmente llamada peste de viruelas").Ambos textos presentan una detallada descripcion de los sintomas de la enfermedad y de los tratamientos aplicados por diversos agentes, por momentos muy cercana a manuales medicos de la epoca, y destacan por el enfasis puesto en el padecimiento del yo y su dimension afectiva.La presente edicion y traduccion permite al lector el acceso a estos notables testimonios de la produccion neolatina en Chile colonial, resultado de una singular conjuncion mediada por la Compañia de Jesus entre tradicion poetica barroca y observacion cientifica, que incluso permite vislumbrar un cuadro sanitario del Chile del siglo XVIII.

The Risorgimento, the period of nation-state formation, has always had particular significance not only in the historiography of Italy but also for the transnational and comparative history of the founding of nation-states. Gabriele Clemens presents a new, up-to-date and well-founded overview of the history of the Risorgimento. Her account covers an entire century of Italian history, beginning around 1770, before the French Revolution, and ending in 1870 with the conquest of Rome by the troops of the burgeoning nation state. This balanced and highly readable account combines the perspective of political cultural history with an economic and social historical approach. At the same time, it offers new interpretations, for example on the roles played by the nobility and the bourgeoisie. It questions the established claim that the masses were mobilized by means of art, music and literature and critically analyses the significance of Garibaldi, the man and the myth. The path to the nation state is described as the work of a state-supporting elite that acts consistently in transnational networks.
