Book Synopsis When Everything Beyond the Walls Is Wild by : Lilace Mellin Guignard
Download or read book When Everything Beyond the Walls Is Wild written by Lilace Mellin Guignard and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In When Everything Beyond the Walls Is Wild, Lilace Mellin Guignard draws from emblematic moments and relationships in her own life to explore issues of gender, recreation, and environmental conservation. Born into a suburban family, Guignard wanted to get up close and personal with iconic American landscapes, but social pressures and cautionary tales told her that these spaces were not meant for her as a woman. Reflecting on the ways our culture socializes women to remain indoors, Guignard shares her own struggles with finding her place outdoors. Refusing to stay indoors and “safe,” Guignard drove cross-country with her dog, worked as a river guide, and set out to climb Mount Whitney. She recounts navigating outdoor interactions with male friends and strangers that range from wonderful to awkward to frightening. Now that she is settled with her own family, Guignard writes about how it is still more difficult for women than men to prioritize outdoor recreation time. These stories expose how cultural messages about women shape their experiences and interactions when backpacking, paddling, rock climbing, and bicycling. They broaden readers’ notions of what adventure is, what places are considered wild and worth our care, and what types of people enjoy the outdoors. Drawing upon the art of the memoir—and informed by analysis from women’s studies and ecological literature—Guignard makes an impassioned case for why women and marginalized members of society should have the opportunity to experience nature. The self-reliance and connection with the natural world that outdoor recreation fosters are qualities we all need in order to do the work required by the environmental challenges ahead.

Download or read book Beyond the Wall written by Elizabeth Pond and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Wall is the first book, in either English or German, to tell the whole story of the extraordinary revolution that demolished the Berlin Wall, ended the Cold war, and tore apart the Soviet regime. Elizabeth Pond, former Moscow and European correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, was an eyewitness to the dramatic events of 1989-92 and to the fifteen years of relations between Germany and Eastern Europe leading up to them. Pond weaves together in riveting prose the strands of events that are usually recounted separately. Rather than looking just at the East German revolt or the process of unification that created a new nation, she traces the interaction of these events and their diplomatic consequences for Europe. Pond shows the political, economic, and social forces at work--leading up to the unification, during the transition process, and in the aftermath. Looking at the European framework, she explains how significantly the European Community and its move toward integration both affected and were affected by German unification. The book contains a wealth of new information form hundreds of interviews with top German and American policymakers, East German Politburo members and average German citizens. It also incorporates up-to-date research on such topics as the Stasi secret police and the midlife crisis of the German left. Pond concludes with an assessment of the roles of the United States and a unified Germany in the new Europe. Calling for a continued partnership between the United States and Germany, who "have come through a common baptism of fire since the fall of the Berlin Wall," Pond casts an optimistic eye toward the future.

Book excerpt: An account of the Holocaust experiences of Chanah Kaufman (née Zucker), born in 1929 to an Orthodox Jewish family, related from the viewpoint of the young girl that she was at the time. In Brussels, her parents paid a non-Jew to hide Chanah in her basement. Subsequently she was taken to the Misericorde convent in Leuven, where she and other Jewish girls were hidden throughout the war. The nuns pressured her to convert, convincing her that otherwise the Nazis might kill her along with those who gave her shelter. However, inwardly she always remained Jewish. When the war ended, the nuns did not inform their wards, hoping that the Jewish children they saved would remain Catholics. Chanah was eventually taken to a Jewish orphanage, the Tiefenbrunner Home. Her parents and brother did not survive. She immigrated to Israel after the war. An appendix on pp. 322-344 discusses the role of the general and Jewish undergrounds in Belgium in hiding Jewish children and returning them to their people after the war.

Download or read book Beyond the Wall written by ,N.R.Moore and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Wall is an exploration of the limits of human understanding, encouraging us to engage in a curious and compelling journey as our imagination travels through time from 1917 New York to modern-day South Carolina. As we travel in time, we are challenged to move from what we think we know into a realm of infinite possibilities. Beginning prior to the Great War in Europe, part 1 is "The Journal," the personal reflections of Gabrielle Carteret, an unmarried woman in her midtwenties who lives in a castle built by an eccentric English aristocratic father on an island in the middle of the Hudson River. Gabrielle is beautiful, endlessly curious, and eager to learn, well aware, beyond the allure of her wealth, of her inability to satisfy the expectations of New York society. Through her brother, John, Gabrielle is introduced to the Withers family of Charleston and, following her marriage, settles into a Georgian mansion surrounded by trees and beautiful gardens, all but hidden behind a tall, ivy-covered wall. "The Journal" is funny and endearing, often profound, and occasionally sad. It is a glimpse into life and the struggles of womanhood during a time in history. Part 2, "The Gift," begins a hundred years after the final journal entry, the story of Gabrielle's adopted granddaughter, Reid Withers Hill, a sensitive, mysterious child who was abandoned at a truck stop near the city when she was not yet three years old. As the story begins, Reid is in her middle fifties and is reflecting on her life in the Charleston mansion. Perhaps it is her nebulous beginning or undefined racial heritage, perhaps it is that she realizes she is simply different, but Reid has never been at ease in the world. As the natural course of events occur and death removes from her life those whom she loves most, Reid withdraws behind the safety of the wall and into a lonely world of fantastic nightly dreams. Her mental health is questioned, and it is left to friends to keep her grounded. This is no simple book. At the surface, there are historical settings, fantasy, and beautiful love stories to enjoy. But beneath the surface, it is a study of the human spirit, our underlying search for purpose, and the ultimate fulfillment of that purpose. As threads from Gabrielle's journal are tugged in "The Gift" and as they are woven into place, the full tapestry is revealed, and troubling questions find their answers. Even once read, however, one may well find oneself pondering new questions, more questions. And so it goes.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Walls by : Joseph Palmisano
Download or read book Beyond the Walls written by Joseph Palmisano and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Palmisano explores the interreligious significance of empathy for Jewish-Christian understanding. Drawing on the writings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) and Edith Stein (1891-1942), he develops a phenomenological category of empathy defined as a way of ''re-membering'' oneself with the religious other. Palmisano follows Heschel's and Stein's personal and spiritual journeys through the darkest years of Nazi Germany. He shows that Heschel's call to Christian interlocutors for a return to God is an ecumenical call to humanity to embrace perceived others: a call to live life as a response to God's pathos. This call finds a prophetic answer in Edith Stein's witness of empathy with regard to the Holocaust. Stein, a Catholic, creates a dialectical bridge with the Jewish 'other,' neither distancing herself nor denying her Jewish roots. Stein's simultaneously Jewish and Christian fidelity is a model for interreligious relations. It is also a challenge to Catholics to remember their religion's Jewish heritage through new categories of witnessing and belonging with others. Beyond the Walls is a critical contribution to the fostering of interreligious understanding, offering both a model of the ideal Jewish-Christian relationship in Heschel and Stein and criteria with which to evaluate contemporary initiatives and controversies concerning interreligious dialogue.

Download or read book Beyond These Walls written by Tony Platt and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You should definitely read this book... What really struck me in reading Beyond These Walls was that Tony Platt had very seriously and carefully considered the contributions of social movements—feminist, queer, disability, and labor.” —Angela Davis Beyond These Walls is an ambitious and far-ranging exploration that tracks the legacy of crime and imprisonment in the United States, from the historical roots of the American criminal justice system to our modern state of over-incarceration, and offers a bold vision for a new future. Author Tony Platt, a recognized authority in the field of criminal justice, challenges the way we think about how and why millions of people are tracked, arrested, incarcerated, catalogued, and regulated in the United States. Beyond These Walls traces the disturbing history of punishment and social control, revealing how the criminal justice system attempts to enforce and justify inequalities associated with class, race, gender, and sexuality. Prisons and police departments are central to this process, but other institutions – from immigration and welfare to educational and public health agencies – are equally complicit. Platt argues that international and national politics shape perceptions of danger and determine the policies of local criminal justice agencies, while private policing and global corporations are deeply and undemocratically involved in the business of homeland security. Finally, Beyond These Walls demonstrates why efforts to reform criminal justice agencies have often expanded rather than contracted the net of social control. Drawing upon a long tradition of popular resistance, Platt concludes with a strategic vision of what it will take to achieve justice for all in this era of authoritarian disorder.
