Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 9 lectures, various cities, February 23, 1921-September 16, 1922 (CW 304) This is the first of two previously untranslated volumes of Steiner's public lectures on Waldorf education. Readers familiar with Steiner's lectures for teachers will discover here how Steiner presented his ideas to the general public with surprising directness. Teaching, Steiner says, should be artistic, creative, and improvisational--not dogmatic. Nonetheless, he is clear that "the great battle" has to do with the spiritual nature of children. He discusses themes such as understanding the role of health and illness in education, as well as the three major phases in child development: imitation, authority, and freedom. Also included are also two lectures Rudolf Steiner gave in England on Shakespeare and new ideals in education. German source: Erziehungs- und Unterrichtsmethoden auf Anthroposophischer Grundlage (GA 304).

Download or read book The Veil written by Jennifer Heath and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-07-02 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume, written entirely by women, examines the vastly misunderstood and multilayered world of the veil. Veiling— of women, of men, and of sacred places and objects—has existed in countless cultures and religions from time immemorial. Today, veiling is a globally polarizing issue, a locus for the struggle between Islam and the West and between contemporary and traditional interpretations of Islam. But veiling was a practice long before Islam and still extends far beyond the Middle East. This book explores and examines the cultures, politics, and histories of veiling. Twenty-one gifted writers and scholars, representing a wide range of societies, religions, ages, locations, races, and accomplishments, here elucidate, challenge, and/or praise the practice. Expertly organized and introduced by Jennifer Heath, who also writes on male veiling, the essays are arranged in three parts: the veil as an expression of the sacred; the veil as it relates to the emotional and the sensual; and the veil in its sociopolitical aspects. This unique, dynamic, and insightful volume is illustrated throughout. It brings together a multiplicity of thought and experience, much of it personal, to make readily accessible a difficult and controversial subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Veiled Discord is an epic fantasy novel and the first book in the The Visions of Lodas series. There are several diverse kingdoms in the World of Lodas, each with its own history, culture and citizenry. While these kingdoms have enjoyed peace for a long time, an epidemic threatens the prosperity of the most powerful kingdom, Gofon, and fuels the lustful ambitions of the rulers of other kingdoms of Lodas. Treachery, deceit, espionage, assassinations and the insatiable thirst for power of the kings and queens of certain kingdoms are the cause of escalating tensions and growing conflict in Lodas. Behind the scenes, other dominating forces are competing for power and will stop at nothing to conquer kingdoms and even the entire World of Lodas. Opposing these evil forces are the kings, queens and ordinary citizens of other kingdoms, from the big cities to the small villages. Mages, jesters, gladiators and majestic creatures all play a role in the conflict, supporting one side or the other, or representing their own self-motivated interests. The book's various storylines, and many twists and turns, develop into a blended plot that immerses the reader into the magical World of Lodas. 10 illustrations in the novel, which are in color in the ebook and are in black and white in the print.
Download or read book Veiled Figures written by Teresa Heffernan and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, public debates about Islam and the veil have become increasingly divisive. Yet few acknowledge that this fascination with veiling goes back more than three centuries. In Veiled Figures, Teresa Heffernan explores how the clash of civilizations is perpetuated by the rhetoric of veiling and unveiling. Drawing on travel narratives, harem literature, and other stories, Heffernan argues that women’s bodies have been used to exacerbate the divide between religion and reason in the eighteenth century, the Islamic umma and the Western nation in the nineteenth, and Islamism and global capitalism in the contemporary period. Through the study of the writings of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Anna Bowman Dodd, Demetra Vaka Brown, Zeyneb Hanoum, and others, Heffernan’s book demonstrates the ways in which these works complicate and interrupt these divides, opening up new opportunities for a more constructive dialogue between East and West.
