Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dating back thousands of years, acupressure points have been used as a means of healing as well as preventing illness. In the world of sadomasochism, pressure points have many other interesting applications. They can be used to inflict pain ranging from mild discomfort to blinding agony - giving us that reasured "oh, just kill me and get it over with" reaction. At the other end of the spectrum, pressure points can be used for intense sensual play and can even help create orgasms without direct genital stimulation.
Download or read book The Misery of Meagan written by James Mean and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-06-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denny, California, a place so far removed from the norm of the state, you would swear it was part of the deep South, a logging town seemingly hidden from the modern day. The year is 1971, and this is The Misery of Meagan. War is ongoing in Vietnam, cultural icons are dying fast, Civil Rights have reached its greatest height thus far, and yet in a town called Denny, life is untouched by the previous three. Life itself is controlled by a group of men called the Elders, seven men who deem it best that everyone live in their shadow. Civil Rights passed and enacted, social mores changed, but in Denny, such things are but a nuisance to be swept under an age worn rug. In such a land, no law is greater than what the Elders have set forth, no greed nor corruption greater than that which lies within each of the seven who stand. Denny has long since been a breeding ground for the otherworldly, and it is the Elders themselves who hold the knowledge and design of such rights. The population is far from a thousand of the living, but threefold in number of the dead that roam the streets and country roads all hours of the day, unseen, but surely there! In the middle of it all is a beautiful young girl, Meagan Worth, morally fit among a town full of racist degenerates, her own parents, some of the lowest lifeforms the town has seen. She must get away, and when she meets Donald Griffin, a stranger and passerby, she finds more than an escape, but love, undeniable. Eldritch terror and the horror of man begin and end the misery of Meagan.

Download or read book Your Pain My Pleasure written by Fifthangel and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stark, unflinching self-portrait, FifthAngel (author of The Finer Points of Pain and Pleasure) reveals his essence as well as his experiences: his development as a sexual sadist, where he gets his fiendish inspiration, how he reconciles being a Master and a sadist, what love's got to do with it, and how he has come to be known as both healer and shaman. Several chapters contributed by his partners explore the journey from their side, explaining the apparent paradox of their participation. They have different goals, different destinations in mind, but for all, "Pain is how they get there." For pain itself is a tool, a means toward catharsis, transcendence, shedding artifice, revealing truth, conquering fear, overcoming personal limitations, and escaping the limits of the flesh.

Download or read book Environmental Ethics and Forestry written by Peter C. List and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past twenty-five years, North American forestry has received increasingly vigorous scrutiny. Critics including the environmentalists, environmental scientists, representatives of public interest groups, and many individual citizens have expressed concerns about forestry's basic assumptions and methods, as well as its practical outcomes. Criticism has centered on such issues as the exploitation of forests for timber production, the reduction and fragmentation of old-growth habitats, the destruction of biodiversity, the degradation of grasslands through grazing practices, lack of government attention to recreation facilities, silvicultural methods like clearcutting and the use of herbicides and pesticides, the exportation of industrial forestry techniques to other parts of the world, and the use of public monies to provide services for private resouce companies, as in the creation of logging roads. This rising tide of public scrutiny has led many foresters to suspect that their "contract" with society to manage forests using their best professional judgment had been undermined. Some of these professionals, as well as some of their critics, have begun to reexamine their old beliefs and to look for new ways of practicing forestry. Part of this reflective process has entailed new directions in environmental ethics and environmental philosophy. This reader brings together some of the new thinking in this area. Here students of the applied environmental and natural resource sciences, as well as the interested general reader, will discover a rich sampling of writings in environmental ethics and philosophy as they apply to forestry. Readings focus on basic ethical systems in forestry and forest management, philosophical issues in forestry ethics, codes of ethics in forestry and related natural resource sciences such as fisheries science and wildlife biology, Aldo Leopold's land ethic in forestry, ethical advocacy and whistleblowing in government resource agencies, the ethics of new forestry, ecoforestry, and public debate in forestry, as well as ethical issues in global forestry such as the responsibilities of forest corporations, environmentalists, and individual wood consumers. This volume contains materials from the founders of forestry ethics, such as Bernhard Fernow, Giford Pinchot, John Muir, and Aldo Leopold; from such organizations as the Society of American Foresters, the Wildlife Society, the American Fisheries Society, Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics, and the Ecoforesters group, in addition to writings by a variety of well-known environmental philosophers and foresters, including Holmes Rolston, Robin Attfield, Lawrence Johnson, Michael McDonald, Paul Wood, James E. Coufal, Raymond Craig, Kristin Shrader-Frechette, Jeff DeBonis, Jim L. Bowyer, Alasdair Gunn, Goug Gaigle, Alan G. McQuillan, Stephanie Kaza, Alan Dregson, Duncan Taylor, and Kathleen Dean Moore. Author note: Peter C. List is Professor of Philosophy at Oregon State University, where he teaches courses on environmental ethics, ethical issues in the natural resource sciences, and sustainable forestry. He is the author of articles on Aldo Leopold's land ethic, and co-author of several articles on public attitudes about federal forests and forest management, published in the Journal of Forestry and Society and Natural Resources.

Download or read book Edmund Burke and the Art of Rhetoric written by Paddy Bullard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-21 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edmund Burke ranks among the most accomplished orators ever to debate in the British Parliament. But often his eloquence has been seen to compromise his achievements as a political thinker. In the first full-length account of Burke's rhetoric, Bullard argues that Burke's ideas about civil society, and particularly about the process of political deliberation, are, for better or worse, shaped by the expressiveness of his language. Above all, Burke's eloquence is designed to express ethos or character. This rhetorical imperative is itself informed by Burke's argument that the competency of every political system can be judged by the ethical knowledge that the governors have of both the people that they govern and of themselves. Bullard finds the intellectual roots of Burke's 'rhetoric of character' in early modern moral and aesthetic philosophy, and traces its development through Burke's parliamentary career to its culmination in his masterpiece, Reflections on the Revolution in France.
Download or read book This Is Pleasure written by Mary Gaitskill and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with Bad Behavior in the 1980s, Mary Gaitskill has been writing about gender relations with searing, even prophetic honesty. In This Is Pleasure, she considers our present moment through the lens of a particular #MeToo incident. The effervescent, well-dressed Quin, a successful book editor and fixture on the New York arts scene, has been accused of repeated unforgivable transgressions toward women in his orbit. But are they unforgivable? And who has the right to forgive him? To Quin’s friend Margot, the wrongdoing is less clear. Alternating Quin’s and Margot’s voices and perspectives, Gaitskill creates a nuanced tragicomedy, one that reveals her characters as whole persons—hurtful and hurting, infuriating and touching, and always deeply recognizable. Gaitskill has said that fiction is the only way that she could approach this subject because it is too emotionally faceted to treat in the more rational essay form. Her compliment to her characters—and to her readers—is that they are unvarnished and real. Her belief in our ability to understand them, even when we don’t always admire them, is a gesture of humanity from one of our greatest contemporary writers.
Download or read book Thinking Things Through written by Andrew Murray and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of a philosopher is foremost the life of thinking but it is also the life of imagination that dreams of and investigates possibilities that might not otherwise have been raised. The life of a Christian is the life of Faith, Hope and Charity, and so it both looks to things beyond this world and regards this world with compassion. The two can work together. Faith softens reason, and reason sharpens Faith. Imagination finds new ways to articulate in concrete circumstances what has belonged to long traditions of thought. These essays cover a wide range of topics either by way of simple reflection on life or in response to issues that arose around the time of their writing. The period of their writing was a varied one. Life looked so stable in the mid-nineties that we contemplated Australia becoming a republic and sought Aboriginal reconciliation. It remained uncomplicated at the time of the Olympic Games in 2000 but became troubled by political events and by the terrorist attacks of 2001. The essays respond to the issues of this time. Four essays not published in the Weekly have been added to take note of more recent changes that have taken place in the Church and in our world.

Of the twelve foundation stones, Jacinth is listed as the eleventh. Author Randall Glenn was motivated to write Jacinth: Book Five because of the dire times in which we live, and the disappearance of truth on the landscape. “My fifth book is mainly a closer look at some of the foundational doctrines of the Body of Christ, the Church. This fifth book also works its way forward to my sixth and largest book on the Revelation of Jesus Christ.”
