Download or read book Others written by Herbert Dettmer and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Others, Lord, yes Others, let this my motto be, help me live for Others, that I may live like Thee. Herb Dettmer was named after Staff Sergeant Herbert D. Fish, US Army, a close family friend. But the younger Herbert inherited more than just a name from the World War II hero. When Herbert Fish's mother was nearing her death, she gave the author a notebook and the Bible that his namesake had carried with him in combat. This notebook contained poems, prayers, and brief sketches in which the elder Herbert captured his faith, his heroism, and his wisdom. Others is a collection of poems, prayers, and verses that began with that notebook. In it, Herb Dettmer shows all readers the value of serving others and of relying upon others for strength and understanding. From time-honored Bible verses to personal poems and sketches, the collection spans a variety of topics, from patriotism, to what it means to be a man, to the importance of honoring past heroes. This collection will inspire everyone to search for the heroes in themselves and live every day for the noblest purpose of all serving Others.
Book Synopsis Symbolic Interactionism by : Herbert Blumer
Download or read book Symbolic Interactionism written by Herbert Blumer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of articles dealing with the point of view of symbolic interactionism and with the topic of methodology in the discipline of sociology. It is written by the leading figure in the school of symbolic interactionism, and presents what might be regarded as the most authoritative statement of its point of view, outlining its fundamental premises and sketching their implications for sociological study. Blumer states that symbolic interactionism rests on three premises: that human beings act toward things on the basis of the meanings of things have for them; that the meaning of such things derives from the social interaction one has with one's fellows; and that these meanings are handled in, and modified through, an interpretive process.

Download or read book Tomb Song written by Julián Herbert and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incandescent new voice from Mexico, for readers of Ben Lerner and Rachel Cusk Sitting at the bedside of his mother as she is dying from leukemia in a hospital in northern Mexico, the narrator of Tomb Song is immersed in memories of his unstable boyhood and youth. His mother, Guadalupe, was a prostitute, and Julián spent his childhood with his half brothers and sisters, each from a different father, moving from city to city and from one tough neighborhood to the next. Swinging from the present to the past and back again, Tomb Song is not only an affecting coming-of-age story but also a searching and sometimes frenetic portrait of the artist. As he wanders the hospital, from its buzzing upper floors to the haunted depths of the morgue, Julián tells fevered stories of his life as a writer, from a trip with his pregnant wife to a poetry festival in Berlin to a drug-fueled and possibly completely imagined trip to another festival in Cuba. Throughout, he portrays the margins of Mexican society as well as the attitudes, prejudices, contradictions, and occasionally absurd history of a country ravaged by corruption, violence, and dysfunction. Inhabiting the fertile ground between fiction, memoir, and essay, Tomb Song is an electric prose performance, a kaleidoscopic, tender, and often darkly funny exploration of sex, love, and death. Julián Herbert’s English-language debut establishes him as one of the most audacious voices in contemporary letters.
Book Synopsis Reintroducing George Herbert Mead by : Daniel R. Huebner
Download or read book Reintroducing George Herbert Mead written by Daniel R. Huebner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-20 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Herbert Mead has long been known for his social theory of meaning and the ‘self’ - an approach which becomes all the more relevant in light of the ways we develop and represent ourselves online. But recent scholarship has shown that Mead’s pragmatic philosophy can help us understand a much wider range of contemporary issues including how humans and natural environments mutually influence one another, how deliberative democracy can and should work, how thinking is dependent upon the body and on others, and how social changes in the present affect our understandings of the past. Historical scholarship has also changed what we know of Mead’s life, including new emphasis on his social reform efforts, his engagement with colonization and war, and critical reinterpretation of the works published after his death. This book provides an approachable introduction to Mead’s contemporary relevance in the social sciences, showing how a pragmatic view of social action serves as the core of Mead’s theory, offering striking insights into human agency, symbolism, politics, social change, temporality, and materiality. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and the social sciences more broadly, with interests in social theory and the enduring importance of the sociological classics.
Book Synopsis A Year with George Herbert by : Jim Scott Orrick
Download or read book A Year with George Herbert written by Jim Scott Orrick and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1633, when The Temple was first published, many notable Christians have testified of their love for George Herbert's poetry. The great nineteenth-century preacher C. H. Spurgeon and his wife would sometimes read Herbert's poetry together on Sunday evenings. Richard Baxter wrote, Herbert speaks to God like one that really believeth a God, and whose business in the world is most with God. C. S. Lewis described Herbert as a man who seemed to me to excel all the authors I had ever read in conveying the very quality of life as we actually live it from moment to moment . . . Regrettably, as the years have passed, Herbert's poetry has been increasingly neglected outside the academy. Many who would love Herbert have never even heard of him. Others feel intimidated by his poetry, fearing that they do not have the education necessary to understand what Herbert has written. In this book, Jimmy Scott Orrick has made the poetry of George Herbert accessible even to those who have had no experience reading poetry. In addition to providing thorough notes for each poem, Orrick also gives basic pointers about how to read poetry. Why not follow C. H. Spurgeon's example and have a page or two of good George Herbert on your Sunday evenings? Those who follow this prescription will be deeply enriched for having spent A Year with George Herbert.

Book Synopsis The Complete English Poems by : George Herbert
Download or read book The Complete English Poems written by George Herbert and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-10-07 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Herbert combined the intellectual and the spiritual, the humble and the divine, to create some of the most moving devotional poetry in the English language. His deceptively simple verse uses the ingenious arguments typical of seventeenth-century 'metaphysical' poets, and unusual imagery drawn from musical structures, the natural world and domestic activity to explore a mosaic of Biblical themes. From the wit and wordplay of 'The Pulley' and the formal experimentation of 'Easter Wings' and 'Paradise', to the intense, highly personal relationship between man and God portrayed in 'The Collar' and 'Redemption', the works collected here show the transcendental power of divine love.
