Book excerpt: CELEBRATING HUMANITY We are a divided people; We are a divided planet. What would it take to see a world transformed into a place where when we see one another, our first thought is; this is my brother; this is my sister; this is a member of my family? Jack Bloomfield, author, columnist and humanitarian believes that our divided world is rooted mainly in unchallenged prejudice, ignorance and intolerance. In Celebrating Humanity, Jack shares his insights through an assortment of his columns on: The many faces of prejudice most often found in areas of race, religion, politics, social status, and sexual orientation. The importance of getting closer to those we don't know, don't understand or who we are afraid of. The need to educate ourselves when it comes to our racial, religious, cultural or sexual differences. The hope that it is possible to change and that unity and understanding among all people is possible. He suggests that we must take our own personal inventory to see where prejudice, ignorance or intolerance are alive in our own hearts and lives and do whatever it takes to root them out. Bloomfield says, "For some, it will be little more than self awareness and a commitment to change while for others it will take a much deeper study of themselves. At whatever level, we all must take a look within and when we do, healing will be possible and unity and understanding among all people can become a reality.

Book excerpt: Achieving our Common Humanity: Celebrating Global Cooperation through the United Nations portrays landmark accomplishments of the United Nations in supporting peace and security, promoting and protecting human rights, fostering economic and social development, and shaping international law. Amply illustrated with photographs, charts, maps and infographics, and featuring a wealth of information on how the United Nations serves the peoples of the world, this book depicts a wide range of challenges that the Organization has met and successful initiatives that it has conceived and spearheaded as a matter of common purpose among nations in favour of collective human progress. Its rich tapestry of stories explores the diverse ways in which the United Nations fights poverty, combats climate change and protects the environment, undertakes to transform conflicts into peace, helps refugees thrive, supports sharing the benefits of technology, works to stop the spread of infectious diseases and reduce the risk of disasters, and helps render justice for all and ensure the rights of women and children. While recounting decisive innovations at the level of global policy and international agreement, Achieving our Common Humanity also provides a view of how such changes have significantly improved the lives of affected individuals around the world. These remarkable stories show how the United Nations, with its ambitious and evolving vision for the shared prosperity of people and planet, is helping create a better world for everyone.

Book excerpt: In The Book of Women: A Celebration of Women and the Female Spirit, one of the twentieth century’s greatest spiritual teachers discusses the importance and value of feminine strengths. “The woman should search into her own soul for her own potential and develop it, and she will have a beautiful future.”—Osho Osho explores the role of women in our society. Up until now, he says, both religious institutions and politics have remained male-dominated—not only male-dominated but male-chauvinistic. This has created so many of the crises that we see in the world now, brought about by excesses of ambition, competitiveness, and greed. In these pages, Osho challenges readers to reclaim and assert the feminine qualities of love, joy, and celebration to bring a reunion of the intellect and the heart that is so desperately needed. He looks to the female spirit in all of us as a way to nurture the soul and cultivate a healthy relationship with spirituality. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century, the Olympics have been the modern world's most significant sporting event. Indeed, they deserve much credit for globalizing sport beyond the boundaries of the Anglo-American universe, where it originated, into broader global realms. By the 1930s, the Olympics had become a global mega-event that occupied the attention of the media, the interest of the public and the energies of nation-states. Since then, projected by television, funded by global capital and fattened by the desires of nations to garner international prestige, the Olympics have grown to gargantuan dimensions. In the course of its epic history, the Olympics have left numerous legacies, from unforgettable feats to monumental stadiums, from shining triumphs to searing tragedies, from the dazzling debuts on the world's stage of new cities and nations to notorious campaigns of national propaganda. The Olympics represent an essential component of modern global history. The Olympic movement itself has, since the 1990s, recognized and sought to shape its numerous legacies with mixed success as this book makes clear. It offers ground-breaking analyses of the power of Olympic legacies, positive and negative, and surveys the subject from Athens in 1896 to Beijing in 2008, and indeed beyond. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligence begins with deciphering-acceptance of personal-collective stupidities and hypocrisies. It ain’t easy as they are embedded in the way Reality expresses itself through ‘media’ of Consciousness, which are counter-intuitive and; shame-guilt makes acceptance tough. This eBook elaborates scientifically objective knowledge, which shall make you say; It was this simple! Yes; wisdom has to be. This eBook celebrates; un-ashamedly and un-hypocritically, the elemental and pervasive stupidity-hypocrisy of humanity, to wash guilt out of its admittance. This eBook decodes how stupidity-hypocrisy is embedded in the very design of Reality, its perception; deciphering nine top stupidities everyone indulges in yet nobody feels and accepts. Strategies to fix them have also been detailed. Contemporary scientific knowledge has unraveled everything for us. Therefore, when we know and still refuse to understand, learn and correct our mistakes, we all are culprits of ‘Conscientious Stupidity’ and become eligible for being the most stupid and most corrupted living and surviving species in the universe. It is easy to dump this dubious distinction of humanity and it begins by innocent and compassionate celebration of our own stupidities and hypocrisies. The nine stupidities enumerated in holistic details in this eBook are in the domains of reality, self, purpose of life, happiness, love & relationships, sexuality, divinity & religion, politics & governance, loneliness and health & wellness. Reality in its holism and reality of humanity is complex knowledge and all stupidities and hypocrisies emanate out of most people’s insistence that ‘they know’, without making any initiative to know. The only eligibility for good riddance from all stupidities and hypocrisies is the innocence to see, identify, admit, express and even publically celebrate one’s own stupidities – conscious as well as subconscious. There has to be an honest and sincere acceptance that knowledge acquisition is a tough process and does not come gratuitously and undeservingly. Most of our stupidities and hypocrisies are not ‘conscientious’, which means, we do them and keep indulging in them as we are not even aware. This eBook deciphers and details everything about the ‘Science of Stupidities’, in all possible aspects, with utmost simplicity. You are invited…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divine Providence is a gripping memoir of a gifted girl, by the name of Erika, and her terrifying, yet divinely protected, and guided beginnings in Nazi ravaged World War II, during the Berlin Airlift, and the Cold War. It sets the stage for an unenviable life of survival. It is a story which reads like fiction, yet really happened to a person, a living, breathing human being in the 20th century. It is a unique and sensational look into the most inner consciousness of a traumatized child's mind, and her ensuing journey. Erika witnessed the horror and brutality of human destruction, and the exploitation of Germans, and Jews by the Nazis. When Erika's mother covered her children with her body during a bomb attack pleading with God to spare their lives, Erika's search began to" touch the face of God." Erika manages to overcome unbelievable perils and odds. But, this heroine's tenacious instinct for survival came from a greater, more mysterious force than that created by the imaginative stroke of an author's pen as the mystical strand of her life unfolds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cornelius Castoriadis and the Project of Radical Autonomy analyses the philosophy of Greek-born French philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis. A leading member of the influential revolutionary group, Socialism or Barbarism in France, Castoriadis analysed contemporary political subjectivity and culture in terms of the collective and individual attempt to gain autonomy. His philosophy frames a multi-dimensional analysis of modern capitalist societies, based on a systematic critique of orthodox Marxism, Heideggerian ontology and Lacanian psychology. The present volume consists of two parts. In the first part, his most significant essays written before his departure to France in 1945 are translated and present young Castoriadis’ interpretation of Max Weber’s theory of bureaucratic societies. The second part consists of a series of essays by various scholars on aspects of Castoriadis’ mature philosophy in relation to other thinkers, and against the background of Europe’s political and social history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the distinctive contribution that Joseph Maguire has made to process sociology and the study of sport. Maguire’s work over the past three decades highlights how process sociology has a unique perspective on the relationship between sport, culture and society, and to the body, globalisation and civilisational analysis. Reflecting on this body of work and the use of process sociology, Maguire captures the research dynamic of ‘walking the line' between involvement and detachment, theory and observation, and engagement and critique. The book is structured around four broad sections: Theory, Sport and Society; The Meaning of Sport, Body and Society; Case Studies in Sport and Process Sociology; Globalisation, Sport and Civilisational Analysis. Providing an introduction to, and key examples of, a process sociology approach to the study of sport, the body, civilising processes and globalisation, this book will appeal to undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in sport studies / sports science degrees, sociology, cultural studies and to those studying migration, globalisation and cross cultural civilisation relations. This book was previously published as a Special Issue of Sport in Society.

Book excerpt: René Girard (1923–2015) was one of the leading thinkers of our era—a provocative sage who bypassed prevailing orthodoxies to offer a bold, sweeping vision of human nature, human history, and human destiny. His oeuvre, offering a “mimetic theory” of cultural origins and human behavior, inspired such writers as Milan Kundera and J. M. Coetzee, and earned him a place among the forty “immortals” of the Académie Française. Too often, however, his work is considered only within various academic specializations. This first-ever biographical study takes a wider view. Cynthia L. Haven traces the evolution of Girard’s thought in parallel with his life and times. She recounts his formative years in France and his arrival in a country torn by racial division, and reveals his insights into the collective delusions of our technological world and the changing nature of warfare. Drawing on interviews with Girard and his colleagues, Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard provides an essential introduction to one of the twentieth century’s most controversial and original minds.
