Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis “Zen and the Art of Politics” embarks on a transformative exploration, intertwining the serene world of Zen Buddhist teachings with the intricate dynamics of contemporary politics. The narrative unfolds by tracing the evolution of Zen, beginning with its birth, the profound teachings of its early masters, and its intimate ties with other Buddhist traditions. As Zen’s influence permeates global cultures, the book delves into its core principles, like meditation and mindfulness, and its contributions to art and aesthetics. Alongside, there’s a careful unpacking of the global political landscape, from the triumphs and tribulations of democracies and autocracies to the seismic shifts brought about by revolutionary politics and feminism’s pivotal role in reshaping the political narrative. As the tale progresses, the spotlight turns to where Zen and politics converge. Readers are ushered into a realm where political engagement is reshaped by Zen’s principles, encouraging non-attachment in discourse and a redefined perspective on power. Compassion, a cornerstone of Zen, is highlighted as a transformative force in activism. Simultaneously, mindfulness emerges as a beacon, guiding politicians toward sharper discernment, effective communication, and a more attuned approach to policy-making and negotiation. Drawing inspiration from Zen, the narrative introduces the concept of the “Middle Way” in politics, a harmonious bridge spanning political divides. Through historical case studies, insights are provided into Zen’s approach to conflict resolution, the merits of bipartisanship, and the importance of ethics in sculpting a stable political world. The journey then shifts to the practical realm, detailing the life of a Zen practitioner in the political arena. From daily Zen rituals and strategies to tools enriched by Zen wisdom, the narrative offers tangible methods to infuse politics with Zen teachings. Yet, as with all profound journeys, challenges arise. The tale doesn’t shy away from addressing potential pitfalls, intricacies, and the modern complexities of blending Zen with politics. Strategies to maintain Zen practices, bridge political divides, and navigate challenges become pivotal. Real-world applications anchor the narrative, with insights into the tangible influence of Zen on local governance and national movements. Success stories are celebrated, challenges are dissected, and the transformative role of Zen-inspired communities in policy-making is highlighted. As the exploration reaches its zenith, readers are equipped with tools and resources to weave Zen into their political fabric. From meditative practices to nurturing Zen-centric communities, the wealth of practical insights is boundless. The Odyssey concludes with contemplative reflections on the symbiotic relationship between Zen and politics, inspiring readers toward a harmonious global future. Augmented by many resources in the appendices, the book stands as a beacon for those yearning to traverse the intersection of Zen and politics.

Book excerpt: A proposal for a new global approach for fisheries focused on reducing fishing capacity and providing incentives for long-term sustainability. The Earth's oceans are overfished, despite more than fifty years of cooperation among the world's fishing nations. There are too many boats chasing too few fish. In Saving Global Fisheries, J. Samuel Barkin and Elizabeth DeSombre analyze the problem of overfishing and offer a provocative proposal for a global regulatory and policy approach. Existing patterns of international fisheries management try to limit the number of fish that can be caught while governments simultaneously subsidize increased fishing capacity, focusing on fisheries as an industry to be developed rather than on fish as a resource to be conserved. Regionally based international management means that protection in one area simply shifts fishing efforts to other species or regions. Barkin and DeSombre argue that global rather than regional regulation is necessary for successful fisheries management and emphasize the need to reduce subsidies. They propose an international system of individual transferable quotas that would give holders of permits an interest in the long-term health of fish stocks and help create a sustainable level of fishing capacity globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the two decades since the publication of the second edition, Learning Through Theatre has further established itself as an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners and educators interested in the complex interrelations between teaching and learning, the performing arts, and society at large. Theatre in Education (TIE) has consistently been at the cutting edge of the ever-growing field of Applied Theatre; this comprehensively revised new edition makes an international case for why, and how, it will continue to shape ways in which the participatory arts contribute to the learning of young people (and increasingly, adults) in the 21st century. Drawing on the experiences and insights of theorists and practitioners from across the world, Learning Through Theatre shows how theatre can, and does, promote: participatory engagement; the use of innovative theatrical form; work with young people and adults in a range of educational settings; and social and personal change. Now transatlantically edited by Anthony Jackson and Chris Vine, Learning Through Theatre offers exhilarating new reflections on the book’s original aim: to define, describe and debate the salient features, and wider political context, of one of the most important – and radical – developments in contemporary theatre.
Download or read book Long Strange Journey written by Gregory P. A. Levine and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Long Strange Journey' presents the first critical analysis of visual objects and discourses that animate Zen art modernism and its legacies, with particular emphasis on the postwar 'Zen boom.' Since the late 19th century, Zen and Zen art have emerged as globally familiar terms associated with a spectrum of practices, beliefs, works of visual art, aesthetic concepts, commercial products, and modes of self-fashioning. They have also been at the centre of fiery public disputes that have erupted along national, denominational, racial-ethnic, class, and intellectual lines. Neither stable nor strictly a matter of euphoric religious or intercultural exchange, Zen and Zen art are best approached as productive predicaments in the study of religion, spirituality, art, and consumer culture, especially within the frame of Buddhist modernism.

Download or read book Sponsoring Nature written by Maano Ramutsindela and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving the world's flora and fauna, especially high-profile examples such as chimpanzees, whales and the tropical rain forests, is big business. Individuals and companies channel their resources to the preservation of nature through various ways, one of which is the funding of environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs). This book is the first to comprehensively address this issue and focus on a dominant theme in environmental philanthropy, the links between ENGOs and CBOs and their sponsors, especially the private sector. It has been argued that donor support is based on recipient's perceived expertise and needs, with no favouritism of flagship environmental organizations as recipients of donor funds. A counterview holds that the private sector prefers to fund mainstream ENGOs for environmental research and policy reforms congenial to industrial capital. The authors show that the debate about these arguments, together with the empirical evidence on which they are based, may shed light on certain aspects of the nature of environmental philanthropy. The book evaluates practical examples of environmental philanthropy from Africa and elsewhere against philosophical questions about the material and geographical expressions of philanthropy, and the North-South connections among philanthropists and ENGOs and CBOs.
