One of the central facts of human existence is that every society shares a set of beliefs and assumptions - a faith, an ideology, a religion - that goes far beyond the life of the individual. These beliefs are an essential part of a shared identity. They have a unique power to define - and to divide - us, and are a driving force in the politics of much of the world today. Throughout history they have most often been, in the widest sense, religious. Yet this book is not a history of religion, nor an argument in favour of faith. It is about the stories which give shape to our lives, and the different ways in which societies imagine their place in the world. Looking across history and around the globe, it interrogates objects, places and human activities to try to understand what shared beliefs can mean in the public life of a community or a nation, how they shape the relationship between the individual and the state, and how they help give us our sense of who we are. For in deciding how we live with our gods, we also decide how to live with each other. 'The new blockbuster by the museums maestro Neil MacGregor...

About the product 4to; laminated pictorial boards; pp.32, incl. index; full-colour illustrations. Trace of foxing to endpapers. Very good condition."The 1820 Settlers made a lasting contribution to the culture and history of South Africa. But who were they? Why did they emigrate to the Cape Colony? How did they cope with the trials and tribulations of frontier life? This book answers all these questions and many more as the reader is transported back to a time when groups of British settlers came to the troubled eastern Cape and were literally dumped on the land to make their way as best they could. The facts of history are all here, but Marian Robertson's lively text gives so much more, brimming with fascinating accounts of the settlers'everyday experiences and how they forged a new life in a hostile land. Every page is brought alive by Angus McBride's superb full-colour illustrations, his meticulous attention to detail showing just what it was like to be an 1820 Settler." Living with.

 Backstage Actor: Minus a Frontstage Life: Champ Payne   Turning our dreams into our lives is our strongest desire, but what do we do instead? We hold ourselves back and settle for comfort. We’ve been cast as the lead actors, the Frontstage actors, in the story of our lives, but deep on the back of the stage we portray roles we’ve not been cast for. If you, for whatever reason, are making a conscious choice to live far below your creative capabilities, and are not living, or moving towards, the life of your dreams, then you’re a Backstage Actor. Backstage Actors may live nice lives but not the authentic and creative lives they’ve always dreamed of living- they’re not living Frontstage lives, and that’s the problem. In ‘Backstage Actor: Minus a Frontstage Life’ the author presents 50 Life Hacks to help dreamers like you turn your wildly creative dreams into your life. He draws from personal experience to challenge you to escape from the patterns of thought and behaviour that have all but tamed and crippled you. It’s a challenge to dream bigger dreams and to write an authentic and creative life story.
