Download or read book Affordable Wonders written by Ian Sowton and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ian Sowton believes that poetry is good for you, that a poem a day keeps indifference away. As a famous line in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman puts it, "attention must be paid" and poetry is one of the most finely honed human instruments for paying attention. Affordable Wonders pays attention to places both exotic and ordinary; to characters like Mercy Jones you might just happen to meet; to politics, paintings, and the city of Toronto; to birds-from juncos to pelicans; to verses from the Christian scriptures; to the memory of friends who have died; to the cultivation of imagination, and to language itself. The author hopes that Affordable Wonders will pleasingly exercise your imagination and your powers of noticing. Along with its variety of verse forms, this collection of poems offers a range of moods and voices from celebratory to elegiac, from satirical to devotional, and from whimsical to exasperation. Enter the text and explore, there are multiple points of view; its only agenda is to entertain bracingly.

Download or read book I Wonder written by Ashok Goyal and published by Quills Ink Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an outcome of variety of exposures that I had in my own life and that of others, in last over four decades of my life. Human life is typically very simple and full of joy and abundance, provided we are aware of that we are creating our lives every moment. However, given the way we have evolved to live in today's world, being simple becomes the most difficult thing to practice. We are so much influenced by our outer environment in almost all aspects of life, to an extent we completely ignore or unaware of what we really want or enjoy and what makes us go ecstatic. This imbalance impacts our health, social relationships and our ability to earn wealth or have a satisfying career. The book is consisting of twenty one short stories, and has focused in this edition on career or wealth aspects. I have made every attempt to keep the language simple and lucid, for anyone can understand and follow. Each story will illustrate an aspect of wisdom one can brood over. However, one thing we must be aware of, that everyone's life is very unique and no one can suggest customized solutions which can fit one hundred percent into one's life problems. You can only get the guidance from others, and then use your own intuition and wisdom to take the decisions and be completely responsible for the outcome.
Download or read book A New Map of Wonders written by Caspar Henderson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Henderson teaches us how to wonder anew with a new vision of science illuminated by a rich range of literature, philosophy, art, and music.” —Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of Dutch Light We live in a world that is known, every corner thoroughly explored. But has this knowledge cost us the ability to wonder? Wonder, Caspar Henderson argues, is at its most supremely valuable in just such a world because it reaffirms our humanity and gives us hope for the future. That’s the power of wonder, and that’s what we should aim to cultivate in our lives. But what are the wonders of the modern world? Henderson’s brilliant exploration borrows from the form of one of the oldest and most widely known sources of wonder: maps. Large, detailed mappae mundi invited people in medieval Europe to vividly imagine places and possibilities they had never seen before: manticores with the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the stinging tail of a scorpion; tribes of one-eyed men who fought griffins for diamonds; and fearsome Scythian warriors who drank the blood of their enemies from their skulls. A New Map of Wonders explores these and other realms of the wonderful, in different times and cultures and in the present day, taking readers from Aboriginal Australian landscapes to sacred sites in Great Britain, all the while keeping sight questions such as the cognitive basis of wonder and the relationship between wonder and science. Beautifully illustrated and written with wit and moral complexity, this sequel to The Book of Barely Imagined Beings is a fascinating account of the power of wonder and an unforgettable meditation on its importance to our future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affordable and Social Housing - Policy and Practice is a candid and critical appraisal of current big-ticket issues affecting the planning, development and management of affordable and social housing in the United Kingdom. The successor to the second edition of the established textbook An Introduction to Social Housing, the book includes new chapters, reflecting the focal importance of customer involvement and empowerment, regeneration and the Localism agenda which will have radical impacts on housing provision and tenure, as well as the town and country planning system which enables its development. There is also a new chapter on Housing Law in response to demand for a clear and signposting exposition of this often complex area. Reeves indicates how each theme affects the other, and suggests policy directions on the basis of past successes and failures. Paul Reeves takes a people-centred approach to the subject, describing the themes that have run through provision of social housing from the first philanthropic industrialists in the 19th Century though to the increasingly complex mixture of ownerships and tenures in the present day. The book is ideal for students of housing and social policy, and for housing professionals aiming to obtain qualifications and wanting a broad understanding of the social housing sector.
