Download or read book Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection written by Markey, Mary Ann and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of biophilia posits that there is an innate connection between all the species that share Earth’s biosphere and that this connection is inherently collaborative as organisms work together to ensure survival as opposed to competing for resources and territory. As threats to the environment increase in frequency and scale, applying a scientifically rigorous lens to the biophilia theory becomes crucial to ensuring survival. Examining Biophilia and Societal Indifference to Environmental Protection is a pivotal reference source that explores the relationship between nature, humanity, and mindfulness. The book is broken into three sections with the first section introducing the reader to biophilia and examining how this phenomenon results in human awe for nature. The second section investigates the value of biophilia and covers human exploitation of nature, including how this has changed the regard for children and elders. The final section outlines a practical approach to restoring nature and renewing faith in one another. While highlighting a broad range of topics including mental health, natural disasters, and taxonomy, this book is ideally designed for biologists, activists, engineers, policymakers, government officials, academicians, researchers, and students.

Book excerpt: Every new year brings with it hopes of a better future. People have wishes, they fantasize, and conclude that only miracles can make their dreams attainable.

The power of love supersedes all forms of energy in the universe. In this book, Ali Horriyat outlines a path which successfully leads individuals to the realization of resolutions they eagerly form annually. The ultimate destination is the state of pure love. In a brief discussion, the concepts for realizing the full potential of each individual in successfully reaching the ultimate objective are listed and explained. The goal is to ensure that once a resolution has been made that it can indeed form into reality if it pertains to developing the self on the path to God. Following this condition, resolutions pertaining to the misdirection of the ego will simultaneously be axed by the overpowering self destined to love. The power to reach ever closer to God on the journey of this lifetime is made possible by adhering to the proposed set of rules and guidelines.

Download or read book Love and Respect in the Family written by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret to parenting success is out! Children need love, parents need respect. It's as simple and complex as that. Bestselling author Dr. Emerson Eggerichs has studied family dynamics for more than 30 years, earning a Ph.D. in Child and Family Ecology. As a senior pastor for nearly two decades, he builds on a foundation of strong biblical principles, walking the reader through an entirely new way to approach the family dynamic. When frustrated with an unresponsive child, a parent doesn’t declare, “You don’t love me.” Instead, the parent asserts, “You are being disrespectful right now.” A parent needs to feel respected, especially during conflicts. When upset a child does not whine, “You don’t respect me.” Instead, a child pouts, “You don’t love me.” A child needs to feel loved, especially during disputes. But here’s the rub: An unloved child or teen negatively reacts in a way that feels disrespectful to a parent. A disrespected parent negatively reacts in a way that feels unloving to the child. This dynamic gives birth to the FAMILY CRAZY CYCLE. This book teaches you to: See love and respect as basic family needs Stop the Family Crazy Cycle of conflict Parent in six biblical ways that energize your children Discipline defiance and overlook childishness Be the mature one since parenting is for adults only Become a loving parent in God's eyes, regardless of a child's response Based on what the Bible says about parenting, this book focuses on achieving healthy family dynamics. Dr. Eggerichs offers unprecedented transparency from his wife and three adult children, who share wisdom gained from the good, the bad, and the ugly of their family life. It's all here in this eye-opening exploration of the biblical principles on parenting that can help make families function as God intended.

Download or read book We Want to Do More Than Survive written by Bettina L. Love and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award Drawing on personal stories, research, and historical events, an esteemed educator offers a vision of educational justice inspired by the rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists. Drawing on her life’s work of teaching and researching in urban schools, Bettina Love persuasively argues that educators must teach students about racial violence, oppression, and how to make sustainable change in their communities through radical civic initiatives and movements. She argues that the US educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color. Instead of trying to repair a flawed system, educational reformers offer survival tactics in the forms of test-taking skills, acronyms, grit labs, and character education, which Love calls the educational survival complex. To dismantle the educational survival complex and to achieve educational freedom—not merely reform—teachers, parents, and community leaders must approach education with the imagination, determination, boldness, and urgency of an abolitionist. Following in the tradition of activists like Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, and Fannie Lou Hamer, We Want to Do More Than Survive introduces an alternative to traditional modes of educational reform and expands our ideas of civic engagement and intersectional justice.

This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Chance for Change. Up to now, the reasons why egoism is increasingly permeating and characterizing our society have gone unrecognized. We often hear that we live in an egoistic, narcissistic society and belong to a "generation incapable of relationships." Many people suffer from this, they suppress their feelings, because they are afraid of intimacy and getting hurt. They experience sex and love as separate from one another, have difficulties with empathy, responsibility and commitment, or always have to be the center of attention. Many belittle others and are fixated solely on money and power. In contrast, others often feel like they are the victim and they find taking care of themselves difficult. Find out why you are the way you are and what you can do to change it. In this book, you will find the results of Marion Kohn's five-year, root cause analysis explained in a way everyone can understand. This book contains a revolutionary discovery. For the first time, it describes the causality leading to the emergence of narcissistic and altruistic behavior patterns - and how this behavior can be resolved. These personality changes affect all of us. We are all responsible for ourselves and our actions, for our interpersonal relationships, the way we raise our children and how we interact with our fellow human beings in both our personal and professional lives. With its sound theoretical framework and numerous case examples, this book gives you the chance to affect deep and lasting positive change in your personality. By resolving your narcissistic and altruistic behavior patterns, you create the foundation for being capable of relationships and thus, improving all your interpersonal relationships. With it, you will nurture the love and empathy you have for yourself and your fellow man. This leads to greater personal well-being and success in many areas of your life as well as to benefits for our society as a whole.
