Angharad Eyre, "Women's Writing and Mission in the Nineteenth Century "
English | ISBN: 1032366222 | 2022 | 264 pages | PDF | 20 MB
Until now, the missionary Description in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre has been seen as marginal and anomalous. Despite women missionaries being ubiquitous in the nineteenth century, they appeared to be absent from nineteenth-century literature.

English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BKYQH11X | 225 pages | EPUB | 16 Mb
this book is by no means an exhaustive, complete study of human anatomy or the vast science of yoga. No single book possibly could be. Both fields contain a potentially infi- nite number of details, both macro- and microscopic-all of which are endlessly fascinating and potentially useful in certain contexts. My intention is to present what I consider to be the key details of anatomy that are of the most value and use to people who are involved in yoga, whether as students or teachers.
