Botanical Culture and Popular Belief in Shakespeare's England
The Shakespearean stage offered London playgoers a glimpse of the illiterate and rural plant cultures rapidly disappearing from their increasingly urban and sophisticated lives.The same cultures also circulated in popular texts offstage: bawdy tree ballads, botanical tales, almanacs and accounts of kitchen physic.Here Bonnie Lander Johnson argues that, while Shakespeare's plants offered audiences a nostalgic vision of childhood, domestic education and rural pastimes, this was in fact done with an ironic gesture that claimed for illiterate culture an intellectual relevance ignored by the learned and largely Protestant realm of print.Addressing a long-standing imbalance in early modern scholarship, she reveals how Shakespeare's plays – and the popular, low botanical beliefs they represent – engaged with questions usually deemed high, literate and elite: theological and liturgical controversies, the politics of state, England's role in Elizabethan naval conflict and the increasingly learned realm of medical authority.

Belief Systems
The poems in Tamar Yoseloff's Belief Systems act as a call to make something worthwhile from the wreckage of our world, in the spirit of the radical artists she evokes, such as John Latham, John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg – visionaries who located power and beauty in what is forgotten. Yoseloff’s poems intimately capture the artists at thought and at work – composing, repurposing and finding new life in the borders and liminal spaces.Alive with decay and regrowth, this collection leads us through a movement of seasons, along wild pathways and through stormy weather, finding places of transformation where nature, music and art thrive at the margins.Ultimately, Belief Systems point us towards the vital human acts of Illumination and imagination in this hyper-accelerated age – where ‘the small blue flame / like a pilot flame’ casts light on the mysteries of creation and existence.

Belief in God is often tied to religious teachings and traditions, while belief in gender is influenced by biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. While both beliefs can be deeply personal and influential in shaping one's worldview, they are fundamentally different in nature and context.

Photography and Belief
In this exploration of contemporary photography, David Levi Strauss questions the concept that “seeing is believing.”Identifying a recent shift in the dominance of photography, Strauss looks at the power of the medium in the age of Photoshop, smartphones, and the internet, asking important questions about how we look and what we trust. In the first ekphrasis title on photography, Strauss challenges the aura of believability and highlights the potential dangers around this status.He examines how images produced on cameras gradually gained an inordinate power to influence public opinion, prompt action, comfort and assuage, and direct or even create desire.How and why do we believe technical images the way we do?Offering a poignant argument in the era of “deepfakes,” Strauss draws attention to new changes in the technology of seeing.Some uses of “technical images” are causing the connection between images and belief (between seeing and believing) to fray and pull apart.How is this shifting our relationship to images? Will this crisis in what we can believe come to threaten our very purchase on the real?This book is an inquiry into the history and future of our belief in images.

Scottish Fairy Belief
The authorities told folk what they ought to believe, but what did they really believe?Throughout Scottish history, people have believed in fairies.They were a part of everyday life, as real as the sunrise, and as incontrovertible as the existence of God.While fairy belief was only a fragment of a much larger complex, the implications of studying this belief tradition are potentially vast, revealing some understanding of the worldview of the people of past centuries. This book, the first modern study of the subject, examines the history and nature of fairy belief, the major themes and motifs, the demonising attack upon the tradition, and the attempted reinstatement of the reality of fairies at the end of the seventeenth century, as well as their place in ballads and in Scottish literature.

Belief (Signed) LP
ldquothe postpunknbspautodidactrsquosnbsppostpunk autodidactrdquo ndash The WireYoungs recorded the album in his hometown, Glasgow, as a cycle of chamber songs, a 21 st century update of the solo album ndash one musician playing all the instruments in a small oneroom set up. The album itself began with Youngs collecting his own percussion samples from handclaps, a battered old cymbal, an extractor fan vent, FM radio interference, cassette hiss and a kick from ldquoa disastrously lsquo80s sounding drum machinerdquo. These were then used to programme beats, played back at randomly determined tempos in durations mapped to randomly chosen major label songs.The original plan was to sendnbspBeliefnbspout to the lsquomajorrsquo labels and collect the rejection letters as an art project. But, as soon as the album had been mixed, Daniel OrsquoSullivannbspGrumblingnbspFur, This Is Not This Heat played the songs to Tim Burgess and before the mail art project could take off, Belief became Richardrsquos debutnbspfor Tim Burgessrsquo OnbspGenesis Recordings label.Tim Burgess ldquoRichardrsquos album came to me via his friend Daniel OrsquoSullivan. He gave me some of Richardrsquos songs and they completely bowled me over. I immediately asked if O Genesis could release it and he put me in touch with Richard. Belief is sublime gnostic pop and is the soundtrack to why I wanted to be able to release albums on our label. O Genesis had recently released Danielrsquos record VELD and itrsquos always difficult to know what an artist thinks of our label they might just be being polite when they say good things.If someone recommends a friend or a band that is dear to them, then that is a perfect sign for me.rdquo Richard Youngs has released around 140 albums and his collaborations include Makoto Kawabata Acid Mothers Temple, Jandek, Oren Ambarchi, Alasdair Roberts, Alastair Galbraith and Heatsick.

Is atheism a belief?
Atheism is not a belief in the traditional sense, but rather the absence of belief in a deity or deities. It is a lack of belief in the existence of a higher power, rather than a belief in the non-existence of such a power. Atheism is a position that is based on skepticism and the absence of evidence for the existence of a deity, rather than a belief in a specific ideology or doctrine. Therefore, atheism can be seen as a lack of belief rather than a belief in itself.

How does belief in God differ in childhood from belief in adolescence?
Belief in God in childhood is often more simplistic and based on the teachings of parents and other authority figures. Children may have a more literal understanding of religious stories and concepts. In adolescence, belief in God may become more complex as individuals begin to question and explore their faith on a deeper level. Adolescents may also start to form their own beliefs and values, separate from those of their parents, and may seek to understand the role of religion in their lives in a more independent way.

On the other hand, belief in extraterrestrial life is often ridiculed because it is seen as speculative and lacking concrete evidence.

Ultimately, whether belief in God is logical or not is subjective and varies from person to person.
