This book is at once a lament over the darkness of our times, an affirmation of the value of knowledge and introspection, and a consideration of truth, lies, and the dangers of the trivial. In a time when many of us struggle with the feeling that we cannot do enough to change the course of the future, this book is a call to action, asking us to envision and create an alternative world from the one in which we now live. Light in Dark Times is beautiful to look at and to hold – an exquisite work of art that is lively, informative, enlightening, deeply moving, and inspiring.

Book excerpt: Master storyteller Alice Hoffman brings us the conclusion of the Practical Magic series in a spellbinding and enchanting final Owens novel brimming with lyric beauty and vivid characters. The Owens family has been cursed in matters of love for over three-hundred years but all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger—the curse is already at work. A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women, and one long-lost brother, to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from them in matters of both magic and love by Sally, their fiercely protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand that she is ready to sacrifice everything for her family, and Sally Owens realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love. The Book of Magic is a breathtaking conclusion that celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and anyone who has ever been in love.

Download or read book Phosphorescence written by Julia Baird and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Both timeless and timely, this is a book of wisdom and wonder” (Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of March), a deeply personal exploration of what can sustain us through our darkest moments. “What has fascinated and sustained me over these last few years has been the notion that we have the ability to find, nurture, and carry our own inner, living light—a light to ward off the darkness. This is not about burning brightly; it’s about yielding a more simple phosphorescence—being luminous, having stored light for later use. Staying alive, remaining upright, even when lashed by doubt.” After surviving a difficult heartbreak and battle with cancer, acclaimed author and columnist Julia Baird began thinking deeply about how we, as people, persevere through the most challenging circumstances. She started to wonder, when we are overwhelmed by illness, loss or pain, or a tragedy outside our control: How can we keep putting one foot in front of the other? Baird went in search of the magic that fuels the light within—our own phosphorescence. In this stunning book, she reflects on the things that lit her way through the darkness, especially the surprising strength found in connecting with nature and not just experiencing awe and wonder about the world around her, but deliberately hunting it, daily. Baird also writes about crossbeams of resilience: nurturing friendships and a quiet faith, pursuing silence, fighting for what she believes in, the importance of feeling small, learning from her mother's example of stoic grace. She also explores how others nurture their inner light, interviewing the founder of the modern forest therapy movement in Tokyo, a jellyfish scientist in Tasmania, and a tattooed priest from Colorado, among others. Weaving together candid and moving memoir with deep research and reflections on nature and the world around her, Baird inspires readers to embrace new habits and to adopt a phosphorescent outlook on life, to illuminate ourselves and our days—even in the darkest times.

Download or read book Communication Ethics in Dark Times written by Ronald C. Arnett and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned in the disciplines of political theory and philosophy, Hannah Arendt’s searing critiques of modernity continue to resonate in other fields of thought decades after she wrote them. In Communication Ethics in Dark Times: Hannah Arendt’s Rhetoric of Warning and Hope, author Ronald C. Arnett offers a groundbreaking examination of fifteen of Arendt’s major scholarly works, considering the German writer’s contributions to the areas of rhetoric and communication ethics for the first time. Arnett focuses on Arendt’s use of the phrase “dark times” to describe the mistakes of modernity, defined by Arendt as the post-Enlightenment social conditions, discourses, and processes ruled by principles of efficiency, progress, and individual autonomy. These principles, Arendt argues, have led humanity down a path of folly, banality, and hubris. Throughout his interpretive evaluation, Arnett illuminates the implications of Arendt’s persistent metaphor of “dark times” and engages the question, How might communication ethics counter the tenets of dark times and their consequences? A compelling study of Hannah Arendt’s most noteworthy works and their connections to the fields of rhetoric and communication ethics, Communication Ethics in Dark Times provides an illuminating introduction for students and scholars of communication ethics and rhetoric, and a tool with which experts may discover new insights, connections, and applications to these fields.

Download or read book Black Magic for Dark Times written by Angela Kaelin and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Black Magic for Dark Times: Spells of Revenge and Protection" is for every good, decent person who has been the victim of violence, threats, fraud, official corruption or other crimes and is without a conventional form of redress. It is the first spell book especially for crime survivors. It was written to help you deal with situations in which every normal means of justice has been cut off. It is a black magic spell book for the times we live in - a time of pervasive injustice and rampant, unchecked crime and corruption. The terms "revenge" and justice" are both about bringing balance and harmony to a situation. Both words have similar meanings, but different connotations. Justice is balance and harmony brought about through the courts and the justice system. Revenge is balance and harmony brought about on an individual level. This book contains spells for both of these situations. When there is no justice, the conjurer can make it. When there is no way to identify the perpetrator by conventional means, he can be routed out using the often misunderstood science of magic. If you believe that all of the world is bent toward justice and karma will get the evil-doers in the end or they will be judged by God and burn in fire and brimstone forever, then this book is not for you. If you can reconcile living in a world with such people and the complete absence of justice by simply saying, "They'll get theirs someday," then put this book down and go back to sleep. Come back and read this book when you can face the truth, when you are filled with self-righteous anger and ready to invoke cosmic justice upon the perpetrators of evil acts with all the forces of Hell! Over 100 spells and formulas plus tips for making spells more effective. Includes spells to protect from and exact spiritual justice in cases of: Police brutality, judicial corruption, domestic violence, rape, stalking, harassment, unjust foreclosure and banking fraud, bullies at work and school, gossips, illegal checkpoints, airport security, government raids, home and travel protection, theft, bad neighbors, threats, creepy landlords, negative energies, unwanted house guests and - finally - how to heal from the trauma for survivors of violent crime. This is a unique spell book of practical magic especially for crime survivors and those dealing with official corruption, written in a conversational style. Part of the purpose of the book is to reawaken people to the idea that magic is a force for change in the real world.
