Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kate Cummings is a rather romantically minded, warm, passionate woman married to Philip whom, although rather a fire-cracker as a young man, has developed into a cold, taciturn, humourless man, quick to find fault and totally unable or unwilling to put his true feelings into words. Kate enjoys her job but I very unhappy and frustrated in her marriage. She feels she is taken for granted by her husband and her children just a convenience. Nevertheless, she believes implicitly in the sanctity of marriage and constantly tries to pull the remnants of their marriage in an effort to kid herself and others that she and Phil. have a normal relationship. Eventually, she realizes that she is trying to breath life into a relationship that died years ago; perhaps six years ago when their marriage became one in name only. Having allowed herself to be talked into buying an unusually daring dress for an office party, she decides to go the whole hog and have her hair professionally cut, styled and coloured, a professional make-up and false fingernails. Her husband, as usual has refused to accompany her but she is thrilled with the compliments, dances with everyone who asks her and drinks far too much champagne. As the evening progresses she lets her hair down completely and exhibits a side of her personality hitherto kept well under wraps. She is nervous to go to the office on Monday but, after a while, realizes there is no malice in the humourous remarks aimed at her, and, somehow, she has now been accepted into the bosom of the family firm of attorneys, whereas before, although highly respected, she always felt on the periphery. Her antics at the party have interested David Wilson, the spoilt, arrogant son of the senior partner. David because of his good looks, money and charm has a string of conquests and regards women as being good for his bed and nothing else. Hes intrigued by this new Kate Cummings, so different from the polite, efficient office figure who has worked for his father for fifteen years, He decides it would be amusing to invite her to lunch. However, he finds her a stimulating companion, able and willing to discuss any topic he chooses and with a delightful sense of humour. Luncheon becomes a regular event and the highlight of Kates week. Slowly, a passionate , stormy relationship grows between them but Kate suspects she is at the butt of Davids whims and fancies, the same as she is with her family. She is at the cross-roads and must decide which way to go. Davids father dies. David relentlessly turns the long established firm of family attorneys into a money making machine, politely but firmly causing the old remaining partners to feel like fish out of water and encouraging them to become consultants or take early retirement by bringing in many highly intelligent, ambitious young attorneys, exceptionally articulate and persuasive in their arguments. He eventually makes himself senior partner but begins to realize he has created a monster and does not know how to get off the treadmill! As he brings in more senior personnel they, being the cream, attract more business. In spite of having two secretaries, a personal assistant, an administrative assistant and a team of brilliant attorneys plus extremely efficient junior and senior personnel, the final responsibilities of every aspect of the firm rests on his shoulders. 24 hours a day is not sufficient for David and Kate is worried that he will work himself to death! Her workload is constantly increasing and in spite of all the latest equipment has to employ a secretary, her eldest daughter who being a chip of the old block soon becomes her right hand. After eight months of never seeing one another, David devises a scheme whereby he has a half-hour business discussion with Kate every Friday morning. Although she enjoys having a cup of tea and a chat about business and other matters, she is worried about Davids health. Wi
Book Synopsis The Dialectics of Liberation by : David Cooper
Download or read book The Dialectics of Liberation written by David Cooper and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolutionary compilation of speeches which produced a political groundwork for many of the radical movements in the following decades The now legendary Dialectics of Liberation congress, held in London in 1967, was a unique expression of the politics of dissent. Existential psychiatrists, Marxist intellectuals, anarchists, and political leaders met to discuss key social issues. Edited by David Cooper, The Dialectics of Liberation compiles interventions from congress contributors Stokely Carmichael, Herbert Marcuse, R. D. Laing, Paul Sweezy, and others, to explore the roots of social violence. Against a backdrop of rising student frustration, racism, class inequality, and environmental degradation—a setting familiar to readers today—the conference aimed to create genuine revolutionary momentum by fusing ideology and action on the levels of the individual and of mass society. The Dialectics of Liberation captures the rise of a forceful style of political activity that came to characterize the following years.
Book Synopsis The Path of Individual Liberation by : Chögyam Trungpa
Download or read book The Path of Individual Liberation written by Chögyam Trungpa and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundational teachings of Buddhism—presented here in volume one of Chögyam Trungpa's magnum opus, which offers a systematic overview of the entire path of Tibetan Buddhism This three-volume collection presents in lively, relevant language the comprehensive teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist path of the hinayana, mahayana, and vajrayana. Considered Chögyam Trungpa’s masterpiece, The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma will resonate with new and senior students of Buddhism. Chögyam Trungpa begins his study by presenting the teachings of the hinayana. The hinayana introduces core Buddhist teachings on the nature of mind, the practice of meditation, the reality of suffering, and the possibility of liberation. It examines the nature of suffering, impermanence, and egolessness, with an emphasis on personal development through meditative discipline and study. The formal entry into the hinayana and the Buddhist path altogether is the refuge vow, in which a student goes for refuge to the Buddha, or the teacher; the dharma, or the teachings; and the sangha, or the community. The hinayana path is based on training in mindfulness and awareness, cultivating virtue, and cutting grasping. Topics covered in detail in this volume include the four noble truths, karma, the four foundations of mindfulness, meditation practice, the refuge vows, the three jewels, the five skandhas, the five precepts, twofold egolessness, and more.

Book Synopsis Pursuit of Liberation by : Emily A. Nemeth
Download or read book Pursuit of Liberation written by Emily A. Nemeth and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this volume collectively demonstrate the importance of critical service-learning in this historic moment as we participate in, and witness ongoing struggles for justice around the world. The contributors of this volume offer guidance to educators and scholars alike who are interested in designing, participating in, and studying the potential of alliances formed through critical service-learning. The volume emphasizes theoretical and historical foundations of critical service-learning, pressing questions facing the field, exploration of outcomes of, and ongoing challenges for the pedagogy, and design features and larger scale models of critical service-learning that can be implemented across the educational landscape of elementary, secondary, and higher education. ENDORSEMENTS: "This volume in the Advances in Service-Learning Research series does not disappoint. Emily Nemeth and Ashley Patterson have amassed an amazing team of authors who take readers on a rewarding journey across diverse cultural communities and educational contexts, revealing the limitations of traditional service-learning approaches in addressing issues of racial injustice. Readers of this volume will gain a greater understanding of the rapidly evolving and maturing nature of higher education service-learning pedagogy and the need to adopt more critical perspectives in the study and practice of service-learning." — Andrew Furco, University of Minnesota "Pursuit of Liberation, conceived and written during tumultuous times in the United States, offers hope for the possibility of social justice and liberation in educational spaces. The modern-day brutal lynching of George Floyd, an African American man by a white police officer, and the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the horridness and inhumanity of a country that advertises itself as a beacon of equity and inclusion. This volume is a reminder that social justice and liberation require vigilance. The editors, Professors Nemeth and Patterson, persuade us to understand that the work of inclusion and liberation in education is complex, multidisciplinary, continuous, and iterative. Most importantly, they convincingly assert that communities and educational institutions need to take bold steps toward a more just, hopeful, and loving world through critical service learning." — Shirley Mthethwa-Sommers, University of Mpumalanga

Topics included are methodology, christology, ecclesiology, and spirituality.

Book Synopsis Natural Liberation by : Padmasambhava
Download or read book Natural Liberation written by Padmasambhava and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A perfect companion to the well-known Tibetan Book of the Dead. In life and in death, in meditation and in sleep, every transitional stage of consciousness, or bardo, provides an opportunity to overcome limitations, frustrations, and fears. The profound teachings in this book provide the under- standing and instruction necessary to turn every phase of life into an opportunity for uncontrived, natural liberation. Like the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Natural Liberation is a terma, a "hidden treasure" attributed to the eighth-century master Padmasambhava. Gyatrul Rinpoche's lucid commentary accompanies the text, illuminating the path of awakening to the point of full enlightenment. Natural Liberation is an essential contribution to the library of both scholars and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
Book Synopsis The Concept of Other in Latin American Liberation by : Eugene Walker Gogol
Download or read book The Concept of Other in Latin American Liberation written by Eugene Walker Gogol and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exciting new study, Eugene Gogol interweaves three strands that form the intellectual bedrock for the concept of the Other in the Latin American context: Hegel's dialectic of negativity, Marx's humanism, and autochthonal emancipatory thought. From this foundation, the book explores the relation of liberatory philosophic thought to today's social and class movements. Gogol considers the logic of capitalism on Latin American soil, the ecological crisis in Latin America, and the concept and practice of self-liberation. Still one of the most contested terrains of Latin American thought, the Other has been of central concern for many luminary thinkers including Leopoldo Zea, Octavio Paz, and JosZ Carlos MariOtegui. While these writers may not garner much publicity in the world press, the highly public and ongoing struggles of the Zapatistas and Brazil's Landless Workers Movement demonstrate the continuing need to theorize the volatile nature of Latin American social reality.

Book Synopsis Laughter and Liberation by : Harvey Mindess
Download or read book Laughter and Liberation written by Harvey Mindess and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laughter and Liberation is based on the idea that humor is an agent of psychological liberation. Since we are able to include every kind of wit and humor under the umbrella of this thesis, it amounts to an informal, comprehensive theory of the ludicrous. Briefly put, the theory proposes that the most fundamental function of humor is its power to release us from the inhibitions and restrictions under which we live our daily lives.The quest for laughter is as old as man himself Egyptian pharaohs and Roman emperors went to great lengths to amuse themselves, as did the monarchs of medieval Europe with court jesters. Our speech and literature abound with references to humor such as: "Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone," "He who laughs last laughs best," "All the world loves a clown," "Laugh if you are wise," and "A good laugh is sunshine in the house."In Laughter and Liberation, Harvey Mindess tells us how laughter and our sense of humor work. He gives us the background of several well-known humorists Steve Allen, Richard Armour, Sholom Aleichem and explains his theory of how and why they have become expert in making others laugh.

Book Synopsis Liberation Theologies on Shifting Grounds by : Georges de Schrijver
Download or read book Liberation Theologies on Shifting Grounds written by Georges de Schrijver and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Besides their insistence on praxis and the application of the Word of God to a given situation, Liberation Theologies make ample use of tools of analysis to uncover root causes of oppression. Now, it is precisely with respect to these tools that Liberation Theologies today find themselves on shifting grounds. In intra-ecclesiastical circles cultural concerns have come to replace socio-economic analysis, whereas after the implosion of the East Bloc the liberationists proper also pay more attention to the issues of gender, ecology, and indigenous movements. The contributions to this volume, originating from various continents, discuss to what extent this shift in emphasis is desirable, and acceptable, and conclude that the cultural focus cannot possibly invalidate but only enrich and complete the socio-economic analysis. They, moreover, try to assess the developments in light of globalization (economics, informatics), on the one hand, and postmodernity on the other. Given the impact of western culture politics, the question arises as to whether the native cultures will succeed in keeping up their religious core values and structures of solidarity - two elements so indispensable for liberative commitments.
