Book Synopsis Nurturing Our Humanity by : Riane Eisler
Download or read book Nurturing Our Humanity written by Riane Eisler and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurturing Our Humanity offers a new perspective on our personal and social options in today's world, showing how we can build societies that support our great human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. It brings together findings--largely overlooked--from the natural and social sciences debunking the popular idea that we are hard-wired for selfishness, war, rape, and greed. Its groundbreaking new approach reveals connections between disturbing trends like climate change denial and regressions to strongman rule. Moving past right vs. left, religious vs. secular, Eastern vs. Western, and other familiar categories that do not include our formative parent-child and gender relations, it looks at where societies fall on the partnership-domination scale. On one end is the domination system that ranks man over man, man over woman, race over race, and man over nature. On the other end is the more peaceful, egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable partnership system. Nurturing Our Humanity explores how behaviors, values, and socio-economic institutions develop differently in these two environments, documents how this impacts nothing less than how our brains develop, examines cultures from this new perspective (including societies that for millennia oriented toward partnership), and proposes actions supporting the contemporary movement in this more life-sustaining and enhancing direction. It shows how through today's ever more fearful, frenzied, and greed-driven technologies of destruction and exploitation, the domination system may lead us to an evolutionary dead end. A more equitable and sustainable way of life is biologically possible and culturally attainable: we can change our course.

Book Synopsis The Power of Partnership by : Riane Eisler
Download or read book The Power of Partnership written by Riane Eisler and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-09-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the research that brought international recognition to Raine Eisler's groundbreaking work The Chalice and the Blade but addressing the world as it is today, The Power of Partnership offers inspiration and guidance for moving to the better lives we yearn for. Eisler offers us a new lens, a new paradigm, for seeing the world and living in it. The Partnership Model, which emphasizes mutual respect and a fundamental awareness of the sacredness of all life, creates a solid foundation for families, businesses, communities, and the world. In contrast, the suffocating paradigm that has guided much of recorded history — what Eisler calls the Domination Model — has led individuals and groups, acting out of fear, to oppress women, wage war, terrorize, and subjugate others. Using these simple yet far-reaching models, Eisler shows how political and personal relationships based on domination inevitably result in misery and violence, while those founded on partnership foster respect, love, and an explosion of creativity.
Download or read book Shifting written by Charisse Jones and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-01-09 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commemorating its 2oth year in print with a new Introduction and updated content, Shifting explores the many identities Black women must adopt in various spaces to succeed in America. Based on the African American Women's Voices Project, Shifting reveals that a large number of Black women feel pressure to compromise their true selves as they navigate America's racial and gender bigotry. Black women "shift" by altering the expectations they have for themselves or their outer appearance. They modify their speech. They shift "white" as they head to work in the morning and "Black" as they come back home each night. They shift inward, internalizing the searing pain of the negative stereotypes that they encounter daily. And sometimes they shift by fighting back. In commemoration of its twentieth year in print with a new Introduction and updated content throughout Shifting is a much-needed, clear, and comprehensive portrait of the reality of Black women's lives today.

Shimmering with breathtaking romance, fantasy, and adventure,The Chalice and the Bladesweeps you into a rare world of ancient magic, fierce passion, and evil intention--a world that once entered will not soon be forgotten. The place is twelfth-century Wales, a land of forbidding castles and ferocious knights, sacred prophecies and unholy betrayals. In the bowels of the earth, deep in the caverns below the towers of Carn Merioneth, dragon nests await the arrival of one who holds the key to an ancient legacy. She is Ceridwen, daughter of a Druid priestess, unaware of her immense power--until fate leads her from the safety of a secluded abbey into the unbreachable tower of a feared sorcerer. Dain Lavrans knows he has no magic in himself, only the secrets of medicine he uncovered while a soldier in the Crusades. But with the appearance of Ceridwen, he will finally behold true--and terrifying--magic. For there are many who seek the maiden, none for her own good and all meaning to use her. Carodoc, the dreaded warlord whose father slaughtered her people and left her orphaned, wants her as his bride so he can claim the riches rumored to lie beneath Carn Merioneth. Helebore, a depraved ex-monk once sentenced to death for his sins, wants her blood so he can unlock the dark mystery of time. Rhuddlan, leader of the wild folk of the woods, wants her to take her rightful place as decreed by ancient prophecy. Dain simply wants the ethereal Ceri, for himself alone. Now a battle of epic proportion is about to take place. And at the center of the clash of power stand Ceridwen and Dain, struggling to escape the dangers and snares set by friend and foe alike, while discovering that neither can resist the love that promises to bind them forever. Weaving a spell of fantastical imagination and the all-too-human world of passion and evil,The Chalice and the Bladeis unique and unforgettable, a sumptuous novel by one of today's most stirring storytellers.
