Enduring Editions

Although well known to experts in English literature, Guilpin's Skialetheia has been available only in inadequate texts until now. This edition of the 1598 work presents an old-spelling critical text and provides and introduction and commentary on the text. These seventy epigrams and seven formal verse satires display the peculiarly negative, malicious tone associated with English literature of the time.

What if the human body extends beyond its visible form? First published in the early twentieth century, The Human Atmosphere explores the subtle energetic field surrounding the human body-historically referred to as the aura. Best known for developing 'Kilner screens'-specialised optical devices designed to make the aura perceptible-physician Walter J. Kilner presents one of the earliest systematic approaches to observing the human bioenergetic field. Drawing on clinical observation and experimental inquiry, Kilner documents how coloured dyes and optical screening methods were used to study subtle radiance associated with human physiological processes. This edition includes: • 42 clinical case studies • All 24 original diagrams, faithfully reproduced • Carefully formatted tables summarising observational findings Key features: • Kilner's methods and step-by-step approach to perceiving and studying the aura • Case studies examining observations across health and disease, adults, children, and pregnancy • High-quality formatting that preserves historical content while enhancing clarity Rooted in the early foundations of energy anatomy, this work occupies a unique place at the intersection of medical thought, early bioenergetics, and humanity's enduring inquiry into the subtle dimensions of health and embodiment. The Human Atmosphere remains a compelling investigation into human perception, embodiment, and the subtle forces that shape human experience. Presented in a high-quality contemporary edition, this volume is ideal for students, practitioners, researchers, and general readers interested in the human aura, early bioenergetics, historical mind-body science, and the relationship between the physical body and subtle phenomena.
