Book Synopsis Turning the World Upside Down Again by : Nigel Crisp
Download or read book Turning the World Upside Down Again written by Nigel Crisp and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Turning the World Upside Down Nigel Crisp argued that the most affluent and powerful countries in the world can learn a great deal about health from lower income countries with their different insights and experiences and their ability to innovate free from vested interests and received wisdom. In Turning the World Upside Down Again, he argues that they need to go further and listen to and learn from disempowered communities in their own countries. He describes how combining the learning from different countries and communities can lead us to a new ecologically based vision for health and new and practical ways of improving health for ourselves, our communities and our planet. This second edition, 12 years after the first, is extensively re-written and fully updated, drawing on examples from around the world and reflecting what has already been learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and from the onset of climate change. Turning the World Upside Down Again continues the search for understanding begun in the first edition and describes how western scientific medicine, which has served us so well in the 20th Century, must adapt and evolve further and faster to cope with the demands of the 21st Century.
Book Synopsis Turn the World Upside Down by : Imani D. Owens
Download or read book Turn the World Upside Down written by Imani D. Owens and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first half of the twentieth century, Black hemispheric culture grappled with the legacies of colonialism, U.S. empire, and Jim Crow. As writers and performers sought to convey the terror and the beauty of Black life under oppressive conditions, they increasingly turned to the labor, movement, speech, sound, and ritual of everyday “folk.” Many critics have perceived these representations of folk culture as efforts to reclaim an authentic past. Imani D. Owens recasts Black creators’ relationship to folk culture, emphasizing their formal and stylistic innovations and experiments in self-invention that reach beyond the local to the world. Turn the World Upside Down explores how Black writers and performers reimagined folk forms through the lens of the unruly—that which cannot be easily governed, disciplined, or managed. Drawing on a transnational and multilingual archive—from Harlem to Havana, from the Panama Canal Zone to Port-au-Prince—Owens considers the short stories of Eric Walrond and Jean Toomer; the ethnographies of Zora Neale Hurston and Jean Price-Mars; the recited poetry of Langston Hughes, Nicolás Guillén, and Eusebia Cosme; and the essays, dance work, and radio plays of Sylvia Wynter. Owens shows how these figures depict folk culture—and Blackness itself—as a site of disruption, ambiguity, and flux. Their works reveal how Black people contribute to the stirrings of modernity while being excluded from its promises. Ultimately, these works do not seek to render folk culture more knowable or worthy of assimilation, but instead provide new forms of radical world-making.

Book excerpt: This tale of teenage discovery and rebellion was too radical for publishers in the 1970’s. Based on a true story, it follows Allison and her adventurous friends as they discover strange brown gunk in the water at their usual summer swimming hole. Analyzing the stuff, they figure out who is producing it and why, and want to find a way to put a stop to it.

To create a world fit for them and their values, they find they have to turn the whole world upside down.
Book Synopsis I Will Tell No War Stories by : Howard Mansfield
Download or read book I Will Tell No War Stories written by Howard Mansfield and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Howard Mansfield grew up, World War II was omnipresent and hidden. This was also true of his father’s time in the Air Force. Like most of his generation, it was a rule not to talk about what he’d experienced in war. “You’re not getting any war stories from me,” he’d say. Cleaning up the old family house the year before his father's death, Mansfield was surprised to find a short diary of the bombing missions he had flown. Some of the missions were harrowing. Mansfield began to fill in the details, and to be surprised again, this time by a history he thought he knew. I Will Tell No War Stories is about undoing the forgetting in a family and in a society that has hidden the horrors and cataclysm of a world at war. Some part of that forgetting was necessary for the veterans, otherwise how could they come home, how could they find peace? I Will Tell No War Stories is also about learning to live with history, a theme Mansfield explored in earlier books like In the Memory House, which The New York Times called “a wise and beautiful book” and The Same Ax,Twice, said by the Times to be “filled with insight and eloquence … a brilliant book.”

Book Synopsis This Land of Snow by : Anders Morley
Download or read book This Land of Snow written by Anders Morley and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate skier since he was a child, Anders Morley dreamed of going on a significant adventure, something bold and of his own design. And so one year in his early thirties, he decided to strap on cross-country skis to travel across Canada in the winter alone. This Land of Snow is about that journey and a man who must come to terms with what he has left behind, as well as how he wants to continue living after his trip is over. It is an honest, thoughtful, and humorous reckoning of an adventure filled with adrenalin and exuberance, as well as mistakes and danger. Along the way readers gain insight, both charming and fascinating, into Northern outdoor culture and modern-day wilderness living, the history of northern exploration and Nordic skiing, the right to roam movement, winter ecology, and more. Throughout, Morley’s clear, subtle, and self-deprecating voice speaks to a backwoods-genteel aesthetic that explores the dichotomy between wildness and refinement, language and personal story, journey and home.

Book Synopsis We Shall All Be Changed by : Jason Leo
Download or read book We Shall All Be Changed written by Jason Leo and published by Forward Movement. This book was released on 2010 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Foreword Advent is a season of expectation as Christians prepare to celebrate once again the coming of the Jesus. Advent is also a journey, with the hope that at the end of the journey, the Lord Jesus will be born anew in our hearts and we will have come a few steps closer to the Kingdom. Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, causing an estimated $86 billion worth of damage and claiming the lives of nearly 2,000 people. The response of the church to the pain and suffering of the storm's victims far exceeded what local residents and officials had expected. I was one of thousands of volunteers who went to the Gulf Coast to help alleviate the pain and suffering. Our experiences varied depending on age, skill, and the locations where we served. But we all stepped out in faith, with expectation and hope. And in some strange, almost miraculous way, Jesus was born anew in our hearts and we all drew closer to the kingdom. The meditations in We Shall All Be Changed offer brief glimpses into twelve different mission trips to the Gulf Coast, over a five-year period. These trips were sponsored by the congregation where I serve, and I am deeply thankful for their support. I share these experiences with you in the hope that in your journey through Advent, you too might come a little closer to the kingdom. If you are thinking that a hurricane and Advent having nothing in common, read no further. But remember that Irving Berlin wrote "White Christmas" in the summer of 1940 next to a swimming pool in Arizona. The prayers at the conclusion of the Sunday meditations are the collects for the four Sundays of Advent from The Book of Common Prayer. The final collect is for Christmas. The scripture passages at the end of the other meditations are taken from the text of Messiah, by George Friederich Handel, a seasonal favorite. --Jason Leo Cincinnati, Ohio
