Download or read book Soulful Aging written by W. Andrew Achenbaum and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to map out the parameters and boundaries of soulful aging and explores philosophical and theological perspectives on the way we grow older. It extends work in the behavioural and social sciences which address the diverse and contested connections of older people’s inner voices and social relationships. Building on qualitative and quantitative research in age studies and gerontology, this volume extends concepts and stories that attest to the joys, tensions, and paradoxes that mount with advancing years. From ten authors versed in writing from multi-disciplinary and inter-professional perspectives with clarity, the book conjoins and challenges behavioural thoughts-and-actions and religious/spiritual spheres of late-life human development previously presented in the context of positive and productive aging as well as healthful, wise, and successful ‘Saging’. Interdisciplinary and insightful, Soulful Aging will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of religion, theology, philosophy, psychology, gerontology, and sociology. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Religion, Spirituality & Aging.

Download or read book Return to the Sea written by Anne M. Johnson and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2005-02-17 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1955, Anne Morrow Lindbergh published her timeless book of reflections, Gift from the Sea. This perennial favorite used the metaphor of seashells to explore the inner spiritual path, gently guiding readers to practice simplifying, quieting, shedding, and centering in a too-frantic world. Two generations later, in a far more fast-paced world, Anne M. Johnson asks women to discover the beauty and meaning of Lindbergh's timeless "shells" all over again. In Return to the Sea, she uses experiences from her own spiritual journey -- as a busy mother, career woman, and therapist -- to offer a renewed vision of ways to create intentional space in our lives for personal and spiritual growth. Shell illustrations, along with centering exercises, meditations, and journal-writing exercises, enhance each chapter's reflections on Lindbergh's original "shell" passages. Readers who loved Gift from the Sea the first time -- and women who have yet to be introduced -- welcome these reflections in a beautiful new gift edition.

Download or read book Poetry and Autobiography written by Jo Gill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection makes a critical and creative intervention into ongoing debates about the relationship between poetry and autobiography. Drawing on recent theories of life writing, the essays in the first part of this volume provide new analyses of works by a range of poets, dating from the early modern period to the present day. Exploring the autobiographical resonances of poems by Martha Moulsworth, Mina Loy, Anne Sexton, Joe Brainard, Edward Kamau Braithwaite, and Gwyneth Lewis, the authors here examine the extent to which discourses of truth and authenticity have been implicated in traditional interpretations of lyric poetry. In doing so, they endeavour to illuminate the complex intersections – and divergences – of poetry and autobiography, asking what these forms might learn from each other about issues of shared concern, from questions of identity and textuality to those of reference and audience. The creative reflections which form the second part of the collection develop and respond to these questions in various suggestive and original ways; here poetry and prose are used in order to test the relationship between poetry and life writing and to explore issues of memory, time, place, subjectivity and voice. This book was published as a special issue of Life Writing.

Download or read book Shell Beach written by Jesper Møller Grimstrup and published by Dansk Isbn-Kontor. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does a final theory really exist? And what does it feel like to spend your life searching for it? These are some of the questions the theoretical physicist Jesper Møller Grimstrup writes about in Shell Beach. It is a book about quantum gravity, about white-water kayaking, and about a life in science. It is about conferences and smoky offices, about the quest for a final theory, and about hitchhiking illegally through Tibet. Jesper Møller Grimstrup has been an active researcher in theoretical physics for the past 20 years and in Shell Beach, he combines his research in high energy physics with his personal adventures. It is a story that involves not only the science but also Kafka's novels, sci-fi movies, and surfing giant waves off the southern shores of Iceland. Shell Beach consists of several intertwined tracks, where hardcore meets soft-core. First, there is the science, which starts with quantum mechanics and relativity and then passes through the standard model of particle physics to end up with modern topics such as noncommutative geometry and loop quantum gravity. Second, there the philosophy, the idea of a final theory, and what we might expect to find, should our search one day come to an end. And finally, there is the personal journey, that begins with a young scientist with independent ideas, who is eventually pushed into an orbit without a job and funded by crowdsourcing. In fact, Shell Beach is the outcome of a crowdfunding campaign that Jesper Møller Grimstrup ran in 2016 - it is one of the perks to his supporters. A key theme in Shell Beach is the idea, that the theory of everything could turn out to be conceptually empty and tell us little of significance. That it will not provide us with answers to our most urgent questions such as "why are we here?" This idea, which Grimstrup's own candidate for a final theory exemplifies, is illustrated through literature and film, and is followed by the question: "what will it do to us if we find that theory?" What will happen to us, seekers of truth, if we actually find what we have been searching for and it turns out to be different than what we had hoped for? Where will we go when there is nowhere else to look for answers? Shell Beach is a rare peek behind the scenes of contemporary high-energy physics and mathematics, where Jesper Møller Grimstrup has been an insider in several of the key research communities such as loop quantum gravity and noncommutative geometry. In his book, Grimstrup invites the reader into the engine room of modern theoretical physics to see how this world works, who is in power, and what the struggle among researchers for ideas and academic position feels like. Shell Beach ends with the author taking the highly unusual step of creating a crowdfunding campaign for then as the first in the world to conduct his research outside of academia financed by private sponsors. Above all Shell Beach is a book about waterfalls. According to Grimstrup, doing research in theoretical physics is like kayaking huge waterfalls in slow-motion: "Our waterfalls are the ideas we pursue and like all big waterfalls you cannot scout them thoroughly from the riverbank - the only way to find out is to enter the main current and go over the edge". THE PRESS WROTE ABOUT THE DANISH EDITION: "Jesper Møller Grimstrup has written a formidable book. I have read many books about physics and science but none that compares to his book" - Jens Ramskov, Science Editor, Ing.dk" It hits the bullseye ... I followed all the trails, fascinated and nicely included. This is not an easy book to reference ... but if you seek the big question you'll end up with even more" - Maria Helleberg, POV-international

Download or read book Soundings written by Doreen Cunningham and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is a gorgeous journey…You will be glad you’ve joined her.” —Susan Orlean, author of On Animals and The Library Book In this memoir of motherhood, love, and resilience, a woman and her toddler son follow the grey whale migration from Mexico to northernmost Alaska. In this striking blend of nature writing, whale science, and memoir, Doreen Cunningham interweaves two stories: tracking the extraordinary northward migration of the grey whales with a mischievous toddler in tow and living with an Iñupiaq family in Alaska seven years earlier. Throughout the journey she explores the stories of the whales and their young calves—their history, their habits, and their attempts to survive the changes humans have brought to the ocean. Cunningham’s voice is powerful: sharp, profound, sensitive, and unflinching. A story of courage and resilience, Soundings is about the migrating whales and all we can learn from them as they mother, adapt, and endure, their lives interrupted and threatened by global warming. It is also a riveting journey onto the Arctic Sea ice and into the changing world of Indigenous whale hunters, where Doreen becomes immersed in the ancient values of the Iñupiaq whale hunt and falls in love. For this is Doreen’s story, too—a fierce, feminist tale, touching on her childhood and her time living in a Women’s Refuge with her baby, becoming a mother, just like the whales. Lyrical, brave, and fearlessly honest, Soundings is an unforgettable journey.
