Book Synopsis Life Between the Tides by : Adam Nicolson
Download or read book Life Between the Tides written by Adam Nicolson and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Nicolson explores the marine life inhabiting seashore rockpools with a scientist’s curiosity and a poet’s wonder in this beautifully illustrated book. The sea is not made of water. Creatures are its genes. Look down as you crouch over the shallows and you will find a periwinkle or a prawn, a claw-displaying crab or a cluster of anemones ready to meet you. No need for binoculars or special stalking skills: go to the rocks and the living will say hello. Inside each rock pool tucked into one of the infinite crevices of the tidal coastline lies a rippling, silent, unknowable universe. Below the stillness of the surface course different currents of endless motion—the ebb and flow of the tide, the steady forward propulsion of the passage of time, and the tiny lifetimes of the rock pool’s creatures, all of which coalesce into the grand narrative of evolution. In Life Between the Tides, Adam Nicolson investigates one of the most revelatory habitats on earth. Under his microscope, we see a prawn’s head become a medieval helmet and a group of “winkles” transform into a Dickensian social scene, with mollusks munching on Stilton and glancing at their pocket watches. Or, rather, is a winkle more like Achilles, an ancient hero, throwing himself toward death for the sake of glory? For Nicolson, who writes “with scientific rigor and a poet’s sense of wonder” (The American Scholar), the world of the rock pools is infinite and as intricate as our own. As Nicolson journeys between the tides, both in the pools he builds along the coast of Scotland and through the timeline of scientific discovery, he is accompanied by great thinkers—no one can escape the pull of the sea. We meet Virginia Woolf and her Waves; a young T. S. Eliot peering into his own rock pool in Massachusetts; even Nicolson’s father-in-law, a classical scholar who would hunt for amethysts along the shoreline, his mind on Heraclitus and the other philosophers of ancient Greece. And, of course, scientists populate the pages; not only their discoveries, but also their doubts and errors, their moments of quiet observation and their thrilling realizations. Everything is within the rock pools, where you can look beyond your own reflection and find the miraculous an inch beneath your nose. “The soul wants to be wet,” Heraclitus said in Ephesus twenty-five hundred years ago. This marvelous book demonstrates why it is so. Includes Color and Black-and-White Photographs

Book Synopsis The Space of Life Between by : Bede Jarrett
Download or read book The Space of Life Between written by Bede Jarrett and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The inspiration for these forty-five meditations was an arresting question once posed to Bede Jarrett, O.P. "Why does no one write any anything for young men?" His initial response seems as intuitive at present as they must have in 1930: "There is little use for writing books for young men because they would not read the books." To this reply, his interlocutor returns: "They do not read them because none of the books were suited to them... They would read if they only had the right books." The Space of Life Between is that right book. Treating the key questions and concerns of spiritual and social maturation for men, Jarrett boldly enters that middle ground: calming the ferment, forming the character, certifying the way of life, and clarifying the ambition. Offering the same solid, straightforward spiritual counsel for which Bede Jarrett is famous, The Space of Life Between is a candid, confident testament to the true meaning of mature manhood."--
Book Synopsis Religious Life between Jerusalem, the Desert, and the World by : Kaspar Elm
Download or read book Religious Life between Jerusalem, the Desert, and the World written by Kaspar Elm and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-11-16 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few medievalists of the last generation have contributed more to our understanding of late medieval religious life than Kaspar Elm. Over the last half century his reflections, now a monumental corpus of books, essays and other publications, have explored how the life of the cloister, canonry and convent intersected with the world of the laity, church and society beyond, and how that story reflected the broader sweep of European history. Until now relatively few Anglophone scholars and students have had direct access to Elm’s work. The present translation of several of his most important essays offers itself as a modest remedy to that circumstance.

Book Synopsis Woman under Monasticism: Chapters on Saint-Lore and Convent Life between A.D. 500 and A.D. 1500 by : Lina Eckenstein
Download or read book Woman under Monasticism: Chapters on Saint-Lore and Convent Life between A.D. 500 and A.D. 1500 written by Lina Eckenstein and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to gain an insight into the causes of the rapid development of monasticism among the German races, it is necessary to enquire into the social arrangements of the period which witnessed the introduction of Christianity, and into those survivals of the previous period of social development which German Christianity absorbed. Among peoples of German race monastic life generally, and especially monastic life which gave scope for independent activity among women, had a development of its own. Women of the newly-converted yet still barbarian race readily gathered together and dwelt in religious settlements founded on their own initiative and ruled independently of men. A reason for this must be sought in the drift of contemporary life, which we shall thus have to discuss at some length. During the period of declining heathendomÑfor how long, measuring time by centuries, it is not yet possible to sayÑthe drift of society had been towards curtailing womanÕs liberty of movement and interfering with her freedom of action. When the Germans crossed the threshold of history the characteristics of the father-age were already in the ascendant; the social era, when the growing desire for certainty of fatherhood caused individual women and their offspring to be brought into the possession of individual men, had already begun. The influence of women was more and more restricted owing to their domestic subjection. But traditions of a time when it had been otherwise still lingered. Students of primitive history are recognising, for peoples of German race among others, the existence of an early period of development, when women played a greater part in both social and tribal life. Folk-lore, philology, and surviving customs yield overwhelming evidence in support of the few historic data which point to the period, conveniently called the mother-age, when women held positions of authority inside the tribal group and directly exercised influence on the doings of the tribe. This period, the mother-age, is generally looked upon as an advance from an earlier stage of savagery, and considered to be contemporaneous with the beginnings of settled tribal life. It brought with it the practice of tilth and agriculture, and led to the domestication of some of the smaller animals and the invention of weaving and spinning, achievements with which it is recognised that women must be credited. In matters of polity and sex it established the paramount importance of the woman; it is she who regulates the home, who notes the changes of the seasons, who stores the results of experience, and treasures up the intellectual wealth of the community in sayings which have come down to us in the form of quaint maxims and old-world saws. As for family arrangements, it was inside the tribal group and at the tribal festival that sex unions were contracted; and this festival, traditions of which survive in many parts of Europe to this day, and which was in its earliest forms a period of unrestrained license for the women as well as the men, was presided over by the tribal mothers, an arrangement which in various particulars affords an explanation of many ideas associated with women in later times.
Book Synopsis Life Between Death and Rebirth by : Rudolf Steiner
Download or read book Life Between Death and Rebirth written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1975-04 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He listened extremely attentively, apparently not looking at me at all, but totally devoted to my words." --Franz Kafka "The only love that you can show me is to call me anytime, day or night, when you need me." --Rudolf Steiner (to Friedrich Rittelmeyer) For Peter Selg, if Anthroposophy to be a living reality, we must learn to know and love Rudolf Steiner as he appeared to those who knew and loved him: namely, as a spiritual teacher. To help us do so, he gathered recollections of those of who knew Steiner personally--"historical witnesses to the 'living phenomenon' of the 'figure of the teacher." It is his hope that these firsthand accounts will help readers see and experience the amazing, ever-mysterious person that Rudolf Steiner was--a dynamic, energetic "dual citizen" of both the spiritual and the physical worlds. He moved constantly between these two realities, while his whole life was dedicated in service to the spiritual evolution of humanity. Nonetheless, he was also deeply sociable and a true friend, convivial, cheerful, humorous, and always able to enjoy--and tell--a good joke. He was also austere and painfully serious. In other words, Rudolf Steiner was a paradox. Steiner was "imposing," but it would be difficult to say why. He was slim; there was no heaviness in him. Indeed, what seemed to strike most people first was his lightness. He moved rhythmically, youthfully, artistically, with quick, light steps, his posture erect but fluid, his head seeming to float between Heaven and Earth. Yet he was fully grounded. When he stood, it was as if nothing could move him. When he spoke, his gestures and tone expressed perfectly what he had to say. He was completely one with what he said, so that he changed as the content changed. Those who listened to his lectures found themselves transported to the source of what they were hearing. Sometimes "ten Steiners" would pass before them. To hear a lecture, was a meditation experience. Quite another figure appeared in conversations, which filled his every public moment. One experienced luminous kindness, selfless interest, and intense listening attention. It was as tough one were singled out in the world and having a sense of being allowed complete inner freedom. All who came to him for advice felt Steiner's love. They felt that he saw the best in them and spoke from that point of view, whether it was a matter of life's journey or esoteric training. By his example, then, he sought to exemplify the kind of spiritual community toward which he hoped anthroposophists would strive. For anyone who has wondered what Rudolf Steiner was like, this book will open many windows.
Book Synopsis To Float in the Space Between by : Terrance Hayes
Download or read book To Float in the Space Between written by Terrance Hayes and published by Wave Books. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hayes leaves resonance cleaving the air.” —NPR In these works based on his Bagley Wright lectures on the poet Etheridge Knight, Terrance Hayes offers not quite a biography but a compilation “as speculative, motley, and adrift as Knight himself.” Personal yet investigative, poetic yet scholarly, this multi-genre collection of writings and drawings enacts one poet’s search for another and in doing so constellates a powerful vision of black literature and art in America. The future Etheridge Knight biographer will simultaneously write an autobiography. Fathers who go missing and fathers who are distant will become the bones of the stories. There will be a fable about a giant who grew too tall to be kissed by his father. My father must have kissed me when I was boy. I can’t really say. . . . By the time I was eleven or even ten years old I was as tall as him. I was six inches taller than him by the time I was fifteen. My biography about Knight would be about intimacy, heartache. Terrance Hayes is the author of How to Be Drawn, which received a 2016 NAACP Image Award for Poetry; Lighthead, which won the 2010 National Book Award for poetry; and three other award-winning poetry collections. He is the poetry editor at the New York Times Magazine and also teaches at the University y of Pittsburgh. American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin will also be forthcoming in 2018.
Book Synopsis Living Life Between Two Worlds by : Mike Jolls
Download or read book Living Life Between Two Worlds written by Mike Jolls and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Life Between Two Worlds is a book that attempts to address, from a Christian perspective, the highly visible topic of transsexuality (regarding people who change their sex). This topic has permeated our society, affecting business, commerce, our military, our educational system, legal and moral viewpoints on human sexuality and marriage, bathroom usage policies, and beyond. Given its impact, how should Christians and the Church approach this issue? Living Life Between Two Worlds was written to bring God's truth about this subject into the light so that Christians can have a resource they can turn to for answers. It is also written to give hope to those that struggle with the problem, so they can know that there is freedom through God. It tells the unique story of the author, who because of life circumstances and experiences, lived with the turmoil and emotional pain of transsexuality for over 30 years. Not only that, but it testifies about the miraculous power of God, how God divinely visited the author and revealed the truth about transsexuality, and then how God powerfully brought the author out of bondage and into freedom and peace through that deliverance experience. However, Living Life Between Two Worlds does not stop there. It tells the truth about human sexuality and challenges the theories that support transsexuality. It presents scriptures telling God's opinion on the subject. It tells how a conflicted person can combat transsexuality. It discusses the spiritual aspect of transsexuality. It tells how the Church can approach the subject in love. In short, this book attempts to be a guide about this topic from God's viewpoint with the hope that the truth contained within its pages will touch and change the lives of those suffering from the conflict, just as it changed the author's life.

Book Synopsis Between Two Kingdoms by : Suleika Jaouad

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A searing, deeply moving memoir of illness and recovery that traces one young woman’s journey from diagnosis to remission to re-entry into “normal” life—from the author of the Life, Interrupted column in The New York Times ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Rumpus, She Reads, Library Journal, Booklist • “I was immersed for the whole ride and would follow Jaouad anywhere. . . . Her writing restores the moon, lights the way as we learn to endure the unknown.”—Chanel Miller, The New York Times Book Review “Beautifully crafted . . . affecting . . . a transformative read . . . Jaouad’s insights about the self, connectedness, uncertainty and time speak to all of us.”—The Washington Post In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter “the real world.” She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch—first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Next came the exhaustion, and the six-hour naps that only deepened her fatigue. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. By the time Jaouad flew home to New York, she had lost her job, her apartment, and her independence. She would spend much of the next four years in a hospital bed, fighting for her life and chronicling the saga in a column for The New York Times. When Jaouad finally walked out of the cancer ward—after countless rounds of chemo, a clinical trial, and a bone marrow transplant—she was, according to the doctors, cured. But as she would soon learn, a cure is not where the work of healing ends; it’s where it begins. She had spent the past 1,500 days in desperate pursuit of one goal—to survive. And now that she’d done so, she realized that she had no idea how to live. How would she reenter the world and live again? How could she reclaim what had been lost? Jaouad embarked—with her new best friend, Oscar, a scruffy terrier mutt—on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip across the country. She set out to meet some of the strangers who had written to her during her years in the hospital: a teenage girl in Florida also recovering from cancer; a teacher in California grieving the death of her son; a death-row inmate in Texas who’d spent his own years confined to a room. What she learned on this trip is that the divide between sick and well is porous, that the vast majority of us will travel back and forth between these realms throughout our lives. Between Two Kingdoms is a profound chronicle of survivorship and a fierce, tender, and inspiring exploration of what it means to begin again.
Book Synopsis Life Between the Levees by : Melody Golding
Download or read book Life Between the Levees written by Melody Golding and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Donald T. Wright Award from the the Herman T. Pott National Inland Waterways Library, a special collection of the St. Louis Mercantile Library Life Between the Levees is a chronicle of first-person reflections and folklore from pilots who have dedicated their lives to the river. The stories are as diverse as the storytellers themselves, and the volume is full of drama, suspense, and a way of life a “landlubber” could never imagine. Although waterways and ports in the Mississippi corridor move billions of dollars of products throughout the US and foreign markets, in today's world those who live and work on land have little knowledge of the river and the people who work there. In ten years of interviewing, Melody Golding collected over one hundred personal narratives from men and women who worked and lived on “brown water,” our inland waterways. As photographer, she has taken thousands of photos, of which 130 are included, of the people and boats, and the rivers where they spend their time. The book spans generations of river life—the oldest pilot was born in 1917 and the youngest in 1987—and includes stories from the 1920s to today. The stories begin with the pilots who were “broke in” by early steamboat pilots who were on the river as far back as the late 1800s. The early pilots in this book witnessed the transition from steamboat to diesel boat, while the youngest grew up in the era of GPS and twenty-first-century technology. Among many topics, the pilots reflect movingly on the time spent away from home because of their career, a universal reality for all mariners. As many pilots say when they talk about the river, “I hate her when I’m with her, and I miss her when I’m gone.”

Book Synopsis Life Between Two Worlds 1923-2010 by : Horst Uhse
Download or read book Life Between Two Worlds 1923-2010 written by Horst Uhse and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Between two Worlds is a story written with great emotion. It is told by a German Immigrant who has seen the obstacles that life can put in your path. Life in Germany under a dictatorship cannot be put in any kind of comparison. As a small child, I already learned what hardship is by living with foster parents for two and one half years. My teen years were non-existing. World War II broke out and life was all rules and restrictions. Obedience was the first commandm0ent. As a soldier in the Africa Corp under General Rommel I experienced the horror of War, a War we knew from day one could never be won. When the War ended in 1943 life behind barbed wire in the United States was the result of an irresponsible war. When I returned to Germany in 1947, life was very depressing. Every city was a pile of rubble. My thoughts went back to America; to a land that I learned to love with its people who showed so much compassion for us when we were prisoners there. From that day on, I knew that I was going back to America to give my children a future. When I arrived with my family of five in New York with four dollars in my pocket, I knew that was all I needed to succeed.
