The notion of light verb constructions has been traditionally related to the ‘insignificance’ of the verb, which is described as a grammatical item only codifying TAM system and φ-features, whereas the whole predicative content is thought to be conveyed by the noun. This book deals with the light verb constructions as instances of complex verbs, intended as multi-predicational but monoclausal structures. This allows to deepen the actual verb lightness, the effective noun predicativity, as well as their effect on the cohesion of the construction. The papers in this volume reflect on the concrete contribution of noun and verb to the event and argument structure, and on the relevance of semantically different noun classes for the verb selection. From different theoretical approaches, data of a great variety of languages are investigated, such as Indo-European languages – both modern (Germanic, Slavic, Romance and Iranian languages) and ancient (Latin and Ancient Greek) – but also Mandarin Chinese, and different polysynthetic languages (e.g. Ket, Nivkh, Murrinh-Patha, Kiowa, Bininj Gun-wok, Ainu). The range of topics, languages and perspectives presented in this book make it of great interest to both theoretical and applied linguists.

In contrast to other traditions, cultic laments in Mesopotamia were not performed in response to a tragic event, such as a death or a disaster, but instead as a preemptive ritual to avert possible catastrophes. Mesopotamian laments provide a unique insight into the relationship between humankind and the gods, and their study sheds light on the nature of collective rituals within a crosscultural context. Cultic laments were performed in Mesopotamia for nearly 3000 years. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this important ritual practice in the early 2nd millennium BCE, the period during which Sumerian laments were first put in writing. It also includes a new translation and critical edition of Uruamairabi (‘That city, which has been plundered’), one of the most widely performed compositions of its genre.

The Magus: Kundalini and the Golden Dawn je kulminacija mog duhovnog putovanja kroz Tradiciju Zapadnih Misterija nakon doživljenog potpunog i trajnog buđenja Kundalini. Jednom kada sam se pridružio tajnoj i ezoterijskoj školi zvanoj Zlatna Zora (Golden Dawn), upoznao sam se sa Ceremonijalnom Magijom — praksom Duhovne Alhemije, koja je usmerena na podešavanje i čišćenje Čakri — čija je krajnja svrha lična transformacija i Prosvetljenje. Otkrio sam da prakticiranje ove svete umetnosti prizivanja energije nije samo umanjilo intenzivan strah i anksioznost koje sam doživeo nakon buđenja Kundalini, već je i deset puta intenzivnije podstaklo moj duhovni napredak u kratkom vremenskom periodu. Zbog toga sam se posvetio savladavanju celokupnog Sistema Zlatne Zore. Nakon što sam vodio grupu Zlatna Zora u Torontu, Ontario, napustio sam organizovani sistem, ali sam nastavio da predajem Ceremonijalnu Magiju drugim tragačima za Svetlošću. Shvatio sam da svetu nedostaje jedinstven i sveobuhvatan sistem Magije koji kombinuje Istočnu duhovnost i Zapadne Misterije, čija je prezentacija jasna i koncizna, bez uobičajenih teško razumljivih okultnih konotacija. Ono što se pojavilo je Magus — univerzalna nauka o energiji u kojoj svi učestvujemo kao ljudska bića. Ne morate da budete deo Magijskog reda da biste dobili punu korist od iniciranja u energije našeg Sunčevog sistema. Sve što se može steći vežbanjem Ceremonijalne Magije, može se uraditi iz udobnosti Vašeg doma. Ako posvetite deset minuta dnevno ovoj praksi, možete značajno napredovati u svojoj duhovnoj evoluciji. Vežbe Ceremonijalne Magije u Magusu, predstavljene su kao deo programa Duhovne Alhemije čiji je cilj da vam pomognu da se povežete sa svojim „Višim Ja“ i iskoristite svoj najveći potencijal kao duhovnog ljudskog bića. Ovi programi idu ruku pod ruku sa predavanjima znanja o Kabali, Pet Elemenata, Sedam Čakri, Astrologiji, Tarotu, Gatanju, Meditaciji, Hermetičkoj Filozofiji i Alhemiji, Hrišćanskim i Egipatskim Misterijama, Enohijanskoj Magiji i još mnogo toga. Magus takođe sadrži bogato znanje o Kundalini iz istočne i zapadne perspektive. Kroz rad u Magusu, Vaša veza sa Stvoriteljem jača, što rezultira povećanjem Vaše lične moći i sposobnošću da manifestujete život kakav oduvek želite. Kada postanete najbolja verzija sebe, možete postati heroj svoje priče i doživeti radost i uzbuđenje života. Krajnji cilj Magusa je završetak Velikog Dela, što podrazumeva proširenje i ujedinjenje individualne svesti sa Kosmičkom Svešću.

Serpent Rising: Kundalini Compendium je krajnji rezultat mog 17-godišnjeg putovanja Kundalini transformacije nakon potpunog i kontinuiranog buđenja 2004. godine koje je trajno proširilo moju svest. Nakon što sam doživeo potpunu vizuelnu nadogradnju koja mi omogućava da svakodnevno prisustvujem holografskoj prirodi sveta, znao sam da je ono što mi se dogodilo jedinstveno. Tako sam u narednom delu svog života odlučio da iskoristim svoj dar i posvetim se učenju nauke o nevidljivom svetu energije sa kojim sam intimno povezan, dok sam razvijao prave jezičke veštine kako bih sveobuhvatno preneo svoja otkrića. Buđenje Kundalini je deo misije vaše duše na Zemlji. Njegova krajnja svrha je da optimizuje vaše toroidno energetsko polje (Merkaba) i transformiše vas u Biće Svetlosti, omogućavajući međudimenzionalno putovanje kroz svest. Posedovanje odgovarajućeg znanja u ovoj oblasti može vas osnažiti da preuzmete kontrolu nad svojom duhovnom evolucijom i ispunite svoju sudbinu kako biste mogli da nastavite svoje putovanje kroz Zvezde u svom sledećem životu. Zbog toga sam napisao ovu knjigu. Serpent Rising: Kundalini Compendium sadrži sve što treba da znate o temi Kundalinija, uključujući uticaj procesa uskrsnuća na ljudsku anatomiju i ulogu koju nervni sistem igra, kako da otključate puni potencijal svog mozga i probudite snagu svog srca i kako da koristite modalitete duhovnog isceljenja kao što su kristali, viljuške za podešavanje, aromaterapija i tatve, da biste podigli vibracije vaših čakri. Veliki deo knjige posvećen je filozofiji i praksi Joge (sa Ajurvedom), uključujući spisak Asana, Pranajama, Mudra, Mantri i Meditacija, kao i njihova uputstva za upotrebu. Takođe detaljno razmatram proces buđenja i transformacije Kundalini, uključujući trajna i delimična buđenja, Lucidno Sanjanje, Sidije (psihičke moći), vantelesna iskustva, ulogu hrane, vode, hranljivih materija i seksualne energije tokom integracije, i vrhunac događaja u celokupnom procesu preobražaja. Pošto sam bio naučnik i laboratorija u jednom, ova knjiga sadrži svo moje znanje i iskustvo stečeno na mom duhovnom putu, uključujući suštinske meditacije koje sam razvio dok sam nailazio na stagnacije i blokade Kundalini energije. Na kraju, pošto sam godinama pomogao mnogim Kundalini probuđenim ljudima koji su "pipavali u mraku" tražeći odgovore, uključio sam i njihova najčešća pitanja i brige. Serpent Rising: Kundalini Compendium je temeljno i napredno izlaganje o Kundalini koje je obavezno čitanje za svakoga ko je zainteresovan za ovu temu i duhovni rast.

This volume assembles leading Near Eastern art historians, archaeologists, and philologists to examine and apply critical contemporary approaches to the arts and artifacts of the ancient Near East. The contributions in the volume, which include a comprehensive first chapter by the editor and twelve paired chapters (each of which explores a key theme of the volume through a specific case study), are divided into six sections: Representation, Context, Complexity, Materiality, Space, and Time | Afterlives. A number of sub-themes and questions also thread through the volume as a whole: how might art historical, archaeological, anthropological, and philological approaches to the Near East complement and inform each other? How do word and image relate? And how might the field of Near Eastern studies not only adapt and apply approaches developed in other fields but also contribute to critical contemporary discourses? The volume is unified both by the themes that thread through it and by the comprehensive first chapter in the volume, which explores the status of Near Eastern arts and artifacts as simultaneously non-Western and ancient and as neither of these, and which provides a larger theoretical framework for issues addressed in the volume as a whole.
