Complete Illustrated Guide to Palmistry: The Principles and Practice of Hand Reading Revealed

Diane Pub Co.

Learn to read your emotions and desires, and those of people you deal with every day. A graphology expert instructs readers in the basics of handwriting analysis. He shows how to employ a step-by-step method that gives a reliable description of a subject, based on a sample of his or her handwriting. Just as our voices reveal much about our emotions, our motives, and our needs, so too does our handwriting present a psychological profile to the analyst who knows how to decipher it. A simple but clever set of tools, devised by the author, is enclosed with this book. Its components are:
<ul>
<li>A protractor to measure angles of handwriting slant and gauge emotions at the time of writing, as well as to interpret enduring personality traits</li>
<li>A gauge for estimating the zones into which each part of a handwritten letter falls</li>
<li>A rule for measuring any letterï¿½s size and spacing</li>
</ul>All components in the tool kit are printed on sturdy, transparent acetate, to be used as an overlay on handwriting samples. An opening chapter presents an overview of handwriting analysis, discussing handwriting pressure, size, spacing, slant, and the qualities these features indicate. Subsequent chapters discuss what handwriting reveals about a subjectï¿½s public life and inner life. A final chapter offers an at-a-glance guide to decoding psychological meanings underlying the various ways in which a subject shapes each letter of the alphabet. This fascinating book provides a key to self-understanding and the understanding of others. More than 250 instructive color illustrations.

The Arbiters of Reality: Hawthorne, Melville, and the Rise of Mass Information Culture

The Arbiters of Reality: Hawthorne, Melville, and the Rise of Mass Information Culture disrupts our critical sense of nineteenth-century American literature by examining the storytelling strategies of both Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville in light of an emerging information industry. Peter West reveals how these writers invoked telegraphic and penny press journalism, daguerreotypy, and moving panoramas in their fiction to claim for themselves a privileged access to a reality beyond the reach of a burgeoning mass audience.      Locating Hawthorne and Melville in vivid and overlooked contexts—the Salem Murder scandal of 1830, which transformed Hawthorne's quiet city into a media-manufactured spectacle, and Melville's New York City of 1846–47, where the American Telegraph was powerfully articulating a nation at war—West portrays the romance as a reactive, deeply rhetorical literary form and a rich historical artifact.      In the early twenty-first century, it has become a postmodern cliché to place the word “reality” in scare quotes. The Arbiters of Reality suggests that attending to the construction of the real in public life is more than simply a language of critique: it must also be understood as a specific kind of romantic self-invention.
