Download or read book These Hands of Myrrh written by Scott Ferry and published by Kelsay Books. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful book by Scott Ferry is filled with ghostly plainsongs sung between fathers and daughters and sons (and who isn't one of these) as they evolve toward and eventually away from one another. There is an urgency here to harvest-before it's too late-that love particular to parents that rewrites itself in the palimpsest of a child. This is a book about sacred relationships and the power of tenderness. The poems in These Hands of Myrrh are ricochets from the front line born out of courage in the face of mortality. They have traveled through hard-earned wisdom to get to us. And as readers we can be thankful they arrived. -Gary Lemons, author of The Snake Quartet This collection immerses you gently, gradually, into a world where the mundane and the miraculous live side by side. Ferry shows us life and death, both the big moments (the birth of his son, the death of a neighbor, confronting alcoholism), as well as the small (gardening, a flight of birds, cleaning the fish tank). Before you know it, you are down in the underworld with him. Somehow, reality has shifted: ghosts communicate through streetlights. Trees have auras. The relationships between fathers and sons takes on a mythic quality. These poems are sharp, incisive, yet lyrical, often funny. Like all spiritual journeys, this book feels sometimes elemental and sometimes frightening, but always ends on a note of hope. -Lauren Scharhag, author of Languages, First and Last Don't let Scott Ferry's poems fool you and don't fail to let them captivate you. Their seemingly fragile beauty belies the tensile strength of a healer. They illustrate with precision the perspective of one who faces life and death on a daily basis, not losing either his grief over the inevitability of the former or the wonder and fleeting joy of the latter. Author Christopher Moore writes that children see magic because they never stop seeking it. Neither does Ferry. He illustrates a stippled landscape with flashes of gentle humor and softly graded shadows-repeated small touches, expertly placed, telling in the thought and affect they provoke in the reader. These poems linger long after reading them-for good reason. -Jonathan Yungkans, author of Beneath a Glazed Shadow

Download or read book Globalization s Contradictions written by Dennis Conway and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, globalization and neoliberalism have brought about a comprehensive restructuring of everyone’s lives. People are being ‘disciplined’ by neoliberal economic agendas, ‘transformed’ by communication and information technology changes, global commodity chains and networks, and in the Global South in particular, destroyed livelihoods, debilitating impoverishment, disease pandemics, among other disastrous disruptions, are also globalization’s legacy. This collection of geographical treatments of such a complex set of processes unearths the contradictions in the impacts of globalization on peoples’ lives. Globalizations Contradictions firstly introduces globalization in all its intricacy and contrariness, followed on by substantive coverage of globalization’s dimensions. Other areas that are covered in depth are: globalization’s macro-economic faces globalization’s unruly spaces globalization’s geo-political faces ecological globalization globalization’s cultural challenges globalization from below fair globalization. Globalizations Contradictions is a critical examination of the continuing role of international and supra-national institutions and their involvement in the political economic management and determination of global restructuring. Deliberately, this collection raises questions, even as it offers geographical insights and thoughtful assessments of globalization’s multifaceted ‘faces and spaces.’
Download or read book Routledge International Handbook of Migration Studies written by Steven James Gold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current era is marked by an unparalleled level of human migration, the consequence of both recent and long-term political, economic, cultural, social, demographic and technological developments. Despite increased efforts to limit its size and consequences, migration has wide-ranging impacts upon social, environmental, economic, political, and cultural life in countries of origin and settlement. Such transformations impact not only those who are migrating, but those who are left behind, as well as those who live in the areas where migrants settle. The Handbook of Migration Studies offers a conceptual approach to the study of international migration, exploring clearly the many modes of exit, reception and incorporation which involve varied populations in disparate political, economic, social and cultural contexts. How do these movements also facilitate the transmission of ideologies and identities, political and cultural practices and economic resources? Uniquely among texts in the subject area, the Handbook also provides a section devoted to exploring methods for studying international migration. Featuring forty-seven essays written by leading international and multidisciplinary scholars, the Routledge International Handbook of Migration Studies offers a contemporary, integrated and comprehensive resource for students and scholars of sociology, politics, human geography, law, history, urban planning, journalism, and health care.

Download or read book Small Town America written by Robert Wuthnow and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing examination of small-town life More than thirty million Americans live in small, out-of-the-way places. Many of them could have joined the vast majority of Americans who live in cities and suburbs. They could live closer to more lucrative careers and convenient shopping, a wider range of educational opportunities, and more robust health care. But they have opted to live differently. In Small-Town America, we meet factory workers, shop owners, retirees, teachers, clergy, and mayors—residents who show neighborliness in small ways, but who also worry about everything from school closings and their children's futures to the ups and downs of the local economy. Drawing on more than seven hundred in-depth interviews in hundreds of towns across America and three decades of census data, Robert Wuthnow shows the fragility of community in small towns. He covers a host of topics, including the symbols and rituals of small-town life, the roles of formal and informal leaders, the social role of religious congregations, the perception of moral and economic decline, and the myriad ways residents in small towns make sense of their own lives. Wuthnow also tackles difficult issues such as class and race, abortion, homosexuality, and substance abuse. Small-Town America paints a rich panorama of individuals who reside in small communities, finding that, for many people, living in a small town is an important part of self-identity.
