Download or read book In Dwelling written by Peter King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 'dwelling', or the physical space we call a house, is full of meaning for us. It can be implacable, in that it can work for or against us, depending on how we are able to access and use it. This means that we have to learn to accept dwelling as it is and find some accommodation with our surrounding environment. This book develops a new approach to looking at dwelling and how we use it. It explores the manner in which we use housing to exclude others and so protect our privacy. It also argues we need to exclude others in order to protect and nurture our loved ones. The book combines philosophical analysis and literary and film criticism to put forward an innovative and insightful new approach to looking at housing. It draws on the work of thinkers as diverse as Aristotle, Derrida, Kierkegaard, Nussbaum and Scruton and the films of Chaplin, Bergman, Lynch, Tarr, Teshigahara and Van Sant to construct a new theoretical approach to housing research.

Download or read book Life Is a Journey Not a Race written by S. B. Sia and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life presents us with challenges as well as opportunities. It confronts us with obstacles as we journey on, but it also offers us various pathways and routes that we can take. Comparing our life-journey to the travels we make in life, this book is an invitation to readers to face up to those challenges and to meet them through a series of reflections called "comma-moments": the chance to "stop momentarily and mull things over," or to "create space in time" as they go about the business of living from day to day. Like commas in a sentence, which help us to read and interpret its meaning properly, a life punctuated with short reflective breaks enables us to draw out its meaning and significance. Drawing on his vast educational background and diverse global travels, the author shares with readers some "thoughts for food" while on our life-journeys. These reflections, as well as anecdotes and stories, also avail themselves of the real-life experiences of others and the wisdom of many contemporary voices and historical figures throughout the world, especially those who have been concerned with the kind of reflection that will help as we move on in life. In particular, it discusses a conceptual life-map to aid us navigate our way in life and to step up to its challenges.

Download or read book Magical Child written by Joseph Chilton Pearce and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1992-03-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magical Child, a classic work, profoundly questioned the current thinking on childbirth pratices, parenting, and educating our children. Now its daring ideas about how Western society is damaging our children, and how we can better nurture them and ourselves, ring truer than ever. From the very instant of birth, says Joseph Chilton Pearce, the human child has only one concern: to learn all that there is to learn about the world. This planet is the child's playground, and nothing should interfere with a child's play. Raised this way, the Magical Child is a happy genius, capable of anything, equipped to fulfill his amazing potential. Expanding on the ideas of internationally acclaimed child psychologist Jean Piaget, Pearce traces the growth of the mind-brain from birth to adulthood. He connects the alarming rise in autism, hyperkinetic behavior, childhood schizophrenia, and adolescent suicide to the all too common errors we make in raising and educating our children. Then he shows how we can restore the astonishing wealth of creative intelligence that is the birthright of every human being. Pearce challenged all our notions about child rearing, and in the process challenges us to re-examine ourselves. Pearce's message is simple: it is never too late to play, for we are all Magical Children.
Download or read book Infantry Soldier written by George W. Neill and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infantry Soldier describes in harrowing detail the life of the men assigned to infantry rifle platoons during World War II. Few people realize the enormously disproportionate burden the men in these platoons carried: although only 6 percent of the U.S. Army in Europe. They suffered most of the casualties. George W. Neill served with a rifle platoon in the 99th Infantry Division. Now a seasoned journalist, he takes the reader into the foxholes to reveal how combat infantrymen lived and survived, what they thought, and how they fought. Beginning with basic training in Texas and Oklahoma, Neill moves to the front lines in Belgium and Germany. There he focuses on the role of his division in the Battle of the Bulge. The 99th, recruits bolstered by veterans of the 2nd Division, held the northern line of the bulge, preventing a German breakthrough and undermining their strategy. Using his wartime letters, his research in the United States and Europe, and hundreds of interviews, Neill chronicles his and his friends’ experiences—acts of horror and heroism on the front line.
Download or read book Rebuilding a World written by Jerome Tr Rothenberg and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works collected here display the mastery and perspective of a mature poet, whose unique voice expresses a wide range of emotional states and ideas. These poems come from a difficult period in the author's life, the years 2007-2008, when a series of serious health problems caused him to re-evaluate, not only himself, but the very meaning of his identity. They will resonate with anyone who has faced loss, wonder, change, and renewal. It is not surprising then that images of loss, disorientation, tentative reaching out, violent change, and isolation permeate these poems. The poems have been grouped into chapters that highlight their common metaphors in a narrative structure that traces the emotional arc of the real-life struggle he faced as he wrote them. The cycle begins with total destruction, reduction of order into chaos, and the transformation of what used to be an infinite variety of complex form and beauty into the raw materials for the beginning of a new world. Then come disappointment and disorientation, weathering the violent storms that leave one battered and scarred. The cycle ends with evocations of the Biblical Flood, which destroys and cleanses without the violence of the world's volcanic origins, creating peace, and a chance to begin again.

Download or read book Lovingkindness written by Sharon Salzberg and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy—both with others and with ourselves—creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can also awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path. In this inspiring book, longtime meditation practitioner and teacher Sharon Salzberg shows how the Buddhist path can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each one of us, drawing on Buddhist teachings, wisdom from various traditions, her personal experiences, and guided meditation exercises. With these tools, she teaches how the practice of lovingkindness can illuminate a path to cultivating love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity—the four “heavenly abodes” of traditional Buddhism.

Download or read book Worn written by Ellen Sampson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a culture preoccupied with newness and a fashion system largely predicated upon it, what is the significance of worn clothes and why do they have the power to affect us so deeply? How are relationships to clothing produced and maintained through the embodied practices of wearing, maintenance and repair? Through a focus upon a single garment, the shoe, this book calls on readers to reconsider the value of the marks of wear at a time when fast fashion reigns supreme and interest in damaged, or worn, garments quietly increases. Originating in an experimental practice-based methodology which placed wearing at its center, this book presents the act of wearing as a tool for developing knowledge, of 'being in' or 'being with', rather than observing from the outside. Bringing together anthropological and psychoanalytic theory with practices of handmaking, wearing, and photography, this book asks what is the embodied experience of wearing and the affect of the worn? Beautifully illustrated in full color throughout, Worn is the first book to focus exclusively on the significance of imperfect garments as important aspects of our material world and culture.
