Download or read book Dry Place written by Patricia L. Price and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape is the space of negotiation between human beings and the physical world, and rarely are the negotiations more complex and subtle than those conducted through the desert landscape along the Mexico-U.S. border. Patricia L. Price views the shaping of the landscape on and around the border through various narratives that have sought to establish claims to these dry lands. Most prominent are the accounts of Anglo-American expansionism and Manifest Destiny juxtaposed with the Chicano nationalist tale of Aztlan in the twentieth century, all constituting collective, contending claims to the U.S. Southwest. Demonstrating how stories can become vehicles for reshaping places and identities, Price considers characters old and new who inhabit the contemporary borderlands between Mexico and the United States-ranging from longstanding manifestations of good and evil in the figures of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Devil to a collection of lay saints embodying current concerns. Dry Place weaves together theoretical insights with field-based inquiry, autobiography, and creative writing to arrive at a textured understanding of the bordered landscape of late modern subjectivity. Patricia L. Price is associate professor of geography in the Department of International Relations at Florida International University in Miami.

Download or read book For Those in Dry Places written by William Harrison Phares and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-08-04 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yes, there is a way to experience joy in ministry again. Sixteen hundred ministers are either terminated or leave the pulpit every month. Alienation and isolation afflict ministers who now sojourn in spiritually dry places. You might be one of the statistics, wondering if you will ever be able to escape the wilderness and be useful to God again. In For Those in Dry Places, William Phares presents a personal and biblical understanding of how spiritual dry places occur in the lives of ministers and how to avoid them. For those already there, he shares the way to move back into Gods call and experience a second opportunity. A seasoned pastor and evangelist, Phares explores personal and biblical principles, offering ways to recognize the road signs warning of approaching wilderness; avoid becoming the scapegoat for congregational dysfunction; find hope when experiencing the Silence of God; hear Gods voice of guidance again; enjoying the ministry the second time around. I highly recommend For Those in Dry Places, which comes to us in absolutely supreme timing. Many pastors today are going through dry, tough times and can hardly see light at the end of the tunnel. Dr. Phares addresses what to do when you are in this positionhow to deal with your thoughts and what to do, day after day, to get out of your current difficult situation and stay out. Dr. Mark T.

Download or read book Water in a Dry Land written by Margaret Somerville and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water in a Dry Land is a story of research about water as a source of personal and cultural meaning. The site of this exploration is the iconic river system which forms the networks of natural and human landscapes of the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia. In the current geological era of human induced climate change, the desperate plight of the system of waterways has become an international phenomenon, a symbol of the unsustainable ways we relate to water globally. The Murray-Darling Basin extends west of the Great Dividing Range that separates the densely populated east coast of Australia from the sparsely populated inland. Aboriginal peoples continue to inhabit the waterways of the great artesian basin and pass on their cultural stories and practices of water, albeit in changing forms. A key question informing the book is: What can we learn about water from the oldest continuing culture inhabiting the world’s driest continent? In the process of responding to this question a team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers formed to work together in a contact zone of cultural difference within an emergent arts-based ethnography. Photo essays of the artworks and their landscapes offer a visual accompaniment to the text on the Routledge Innovative Ethnography Series website, http://www.innovativeethnographies.net/. This book is perfect for courses in environmental sociology, environmental anthropology, and qualitative methods.

Book excerpt: Walk in Dry Places is a daily reader for those who seek simplicity and assuredness in their Twelve Step program. Recovery doesn’t settle at physical or emotional sobriety. Rather, it aims to grow in honesty and intention each day. This meditation book, complementary to any addiction recovery, simplifies our daily self-improvement with thought- and action-provoking meditations. Nowadays, there are medications, therapy-based activities, and mindfulness exercises. Undoubtedly, these are helpful new tools and coping skills. For people in recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction, though, the best medicines are still good action and honesty. Addiction treatment, counseling, therapy, and working a program give a good start. For continued results, though, a recovering person must act thoughtfully and truthfully each day. With many years in the program, respected recovery writer Mel B. simplifies our daily engagements with straightforward and insightful advice. Packed with experiential meditations and prayers, Walk in Dry Places ensures continued growth in spirit. It teaches us to extend ourselves into the real world and improve the lives of others—not just our own. Through guided thought and action, we elevate the principles and people that are truly important in our recovery, and turn the rest over to a Higher Power.

Download or read book What to Eat and How to Cook It written by Joseph Cowan and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cowan’s earlier works dealt with sexual hygiene and the evils of tobacco, but in What to Eat, and How to Cook It he turned to diet. Food and culinary practice had become more complex in American middle-class society by 1870, and Cowan’s cookbook blasted his countrymen for eating “conglomerate mixtures,” ingredients “mixed in all shapes, in all measures, and under all conditions.” He believed that overly manipulated, processed foods led to a “clogged brain” and a “sickly and unenjoyable life.” His conclusion was that, “To live a sweet healthy life implies the use of simple, nutritious food, cooked in a plain, simple manner, and as nearly in its natural relations as possible.” What to Eat, and How to Cook It is an almost exclusively vegetarian cookbook that advocates natural foods consisting mostly of grains, fruits, and vegetables, very simply prepared. Although lean roast beef is permitted in moderation, the list of banned foods is long and sobering: salt, spices, vinegar, tea, coffee, chocolate, fat, virtually all meats, and above all fish. Milk, butter, and cheese are considered “abnormal,” but are allowed in some of the simple recipes. In addition to chapters on many grains, vegetables, and fruits, the book contains sections on food and drink for the sick, water, rules for eating, food not to eat, poisons in daily use, and preserving fruits and vegetables. The book also contains the first known recipe for frying green tomatoes, following the suggestion by New England farmers that this was a use for the many green tomatoes that remained on the vine after the first frost. This edition of What to Eat, and How to Cook It was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the society is a research library documenting the lives of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection comprises approximately 1,100 volumes.
