Book excerpt: "The Other Crowd," "The Good People," "The Wee Folk," and "Them" are a few of the names given to the fairies by the people of Ireland.

Download or read book Meeting the other written by Rieki Crins and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhutan is unique amongst the small group of nations in the Himalayas. It is peaceful and democratic. Above all, it emphasizes happiness that is not necessarily associated with possession of material goods. It protects the environment by eschewing mass tourism that could trample its fragile land. Bhutan is also known for creating the world's one and only Index of Happiness as a measure of wellbeing for its people, which it prefers over the more materialistic and widely used index of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 1990, the Bhutanese government invited Western scientists to conduct research in one of Bhutan's most remote villages. Bhutan is a country where spirituality is everywhere, where the logic of the animist/Buddhist religion ordains that life is experienced entirely in the present and where human gender is conceived of as part and parcel of the cosmos. The people of Bhutan identify this experience explicitly as “sustainability.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BUSTLE BEST BOOK OF THE WEEK PICK NAMED A BOOKSHOP.ORG RECOMMENDED READING OF THE SEASON In this charming, deeply atmospheric novel set against the Amalfi Coast of the 1950s, two women form an intense and lasting friendship that embodies the paradoxes of Italian society. Inspired by her own adventurous, unconventional life, actress and writer Goliarda Sapienza’s recently rediscovered novel takes the reader to the sun-drenched town of Positano in southern Italy. There, while working on a film, Goliarda encounters the captivating Erica, a beautiful widow called “Princess” by the locals, who has been the object of much speculation. As the two women grow closer in spite of their different personalities, they gradually reveal more about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and the ghosts from their pasts that continue to hang over them. Writing the story of their transformative friendship thirty years later, Goliarda offers a profound reflection on love in its many forms, and opens a window onto an enchanting time and place that lingers in the mind. And this unlikely bond, forged between a leftist idealist and a traditional aristocrat, acts as a microcosm of Italy, illuminating its complex, competing impulses.

Download or read book Meeting the Other in Norse Myth and Legend written by John McKinnell and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2005 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Close examination of the significant theme of other-worldly encounters in Norse myth and legend, including giantesses, monsters and the Dead. A particular, recurring feature of Old Norse myths and legends is an encounter between creatures of This World [gods and human beings] and those of the Other [giants, giantesses, dwarves, prophetesses, monsters and the dead]. Concentrating on cross-gendered encounters, this book analyses these meetings, and the different motifs and situations they encompass, from the consultation of a prophetess by a king or god, to sexual liaisons and return from the dead. It considers the evidence for their pre-Christian origins, discusses how far individual poets and prose writers were free to modify them, and suggests that they survived in medieval Christian society because [like folk-tale] they provide a non-dogmatic way of resolving social and psychological problems connected with growing up, succession from one generation to the next, sexual relationships and bereavement.

Book excerpt: The expert meeting on fisheries-related other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) in the Mediterranean was co-organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) and held online from 16 to 17 February 2022. It sought to establish a way forward for identifying fisheries-related OECMs in the Mediterranean region and provide technical input to prepare and test FAO’s practical guidance for the establishment and management of OECMs in marine fisheries. The main points covered during the expert meeting included: introducing participants to the OECM concept; the initial application of the criteria for OECMs, as determined by the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to a set of case studies and fisheries-related measures in the region; the compilation and discussion of main challenges related to the application of the criteria, with initial recommendations on how to address them; an initial screening of eight Mediterranean case studies against the OECM criteria; agreement on next steps to undertake a more in-depth evaluation of the case studies presented for discussions during GFCM subregional committee meetings; and the assessment of the implications, opportunities and potential difficulties that arise from identifying fishery-related OECMs in the Mediterranean.

Download or read book Souls Who Meet Each Other written by Patrizia Luraschi and published by NOWO. This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we speak of Souls meeting, we refer to that particular interconnectedness that binds two or more souls with one purpose in life: that of meeting and evolving together along the path of spiritual evolution. The Twin Souls are stimulated and helped in the path of spiritual growth, one comes to the rescue of the other, precisely because in the first place, they have so many goals to achieve in their life together, create their existence as a couple, as a family and as people who will give a good example to their friends and to all those around them. We live in the Age of Awareness and everything that happens, has its own reason of being, nothing belongs to chance; therefore, our reunions, our meetings, also belong to this. For example, the question many people ask is, "Why do Soul Mates exist?". Surely the Twin Souls are not an invention of who knows who, but they are actually a reality concerning Being, understood as a spiritual being of course. We can define our soul as "complete", but we are on this planet, life after life, with certain characteristics that affect the person, so the affinity that fits between the Twin Souls helps them in their relationship. But not only does affinity become part of these two people, there must also be a common reality about everything that concerns them and what follows. A meeting between Twin Souls is that moment in which an individual becomes aware that the known person is an important and fundamental part of his existence. Then, there is "chemistry" between two people and in the chapter we will explain this chemistry in what it consists, how it is born and what it creates between two souls that meet. Physical attraction only? You will read it. I will also bring to your knowledge "The Mental love", a kind of love that is born as an attraction between two souls who respect each other, working together in their relationship. Knowledge of the soul amalgamated with many aspects that will be alive for life. Something very different from the "Soul mates", who attract, feel, for eternity. Here is a real and mutual love lived during this life.
