Download or read book The silent morning written by Trudi Tate and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to study the cultural impact of the Armistice of 11 November 1918. It contains 14 new essays from scholars working in literature, music, art history and military history. The Armistice brought hopes for a better future, as well as sadness, disappointment and rage. Many people in all the combatant nations asked hard questions about the purpose of the war. These questions are explored in complex and nuanced ways in the literature, music and art of the period. This book revisits the silence of the Armistice and asks how its effect was to echo into the following decades. The essays are genuinely interdisciplinary and are written in a clear, accessible style.

Book Synopsis The Art of Silence and Human Behaviour by : Theodor Itten
Download or read book The Art of Silence and Human Behaviour written by Theodor Itten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the phenomenon of silence in relation to human behaviour from multiple perspectives, drawing on psychological and cultural-philosophical ideas to create new, surprising connections between silence, quiet and rest. Silence and being quiet are present in everyday life and in politics, but why do we talk about it so rarely? Silence can be cathartic and peaceful, but equally oppressive and unbearable. In the form of communication, we keep secrets to protect ourselves and others, but on the other hand subjects can be silenced with dictatorial posturing - a communicative display of power – and something can be literally ‘hushed up’ that needs to be disclosed. In unique and engaging style, Theodor Itten explores the multi-layered internal conversation on silence in relation to the self and emotions, demonstrating why it is sometimes necessary in our modern society. Describing and analyzing human behaviour in relation to silence, the book also draws on psychoanalytic ideas by outlining the power of silence in processing our emotions and relationships and hiding innermost feelings. With rich narrative signposts providing thought-provoking and amusing insights, and interpersonal communication examined in relation to everyday life, this is fascinating reading for students and academics in psychology, philosophy, cultural studies, and related areas.
Book Synopsis That Phenomenal Background by : Frank DeMarco
Download or read book That Phenomenal Background written by Frank DeMarco and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2017-08-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (formerly published as Babe in the Woods) Angelo Chiari, is a fifty-something-year old news reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer. He is sent to the C.T. Merriman Institute to do a week-long Open Door course and see if any of it is for real. He is skeptical of the assignment, figuring that of course it isn't for real, and somewhat dreading the prospect of spending a week among ungrounded New Age crazies. But although he doesn't suspect it, such an attitude of skepticism is actually a pretty good attitude to bring to the experience… It isn't long before Mr. Chiari begins to experience, first-hand, some of the things he has always assumed to be impossible. As anew perceptions and intuitions accumulate, he has to consider how much of his old world-view he can modify without becoming one of the crazies. And there are more practical concerns, including the question of what happens when a long-married man falls in love (for reasons that cannot be explained rationally) with a long-married woman. Yet this dilemma is almost pushed aside by other extraordinary happenings and concerns, until Angelo finds himself living in a different world. Based on the author's personal experience, That Phenomenal Background shows what it's like to take the first tentative steps toward greater awareness.

In a bid to unravel the mystery surrounding the prophecies of the gods, he found himself in a dilemma; to choose between the quest and the desire The desire, having occupied the innermost part of his thought, became his undoing and the forces of the dark which he set to destroy turned him into an unwilling tool against the light.

Book Synopsis Avenue of Vanishing by : William Olsen
Download or read book Avenue of Vanishing written by William Olsen and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-24 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In lyric and narrative verse, William Olsen explores subcultures ranging from the suburban middle class to the urban drug culture to the art world, and along the way, constantly probes at the very nature of human language. Drawing surprising and illuminating connections between the political and historical, the prosaic and the personal, civilization and nature, these poems try to make sense of the individual’s experience of time, memory, and society. The range of Olsen’s images form an organic connection between the physical and the abstract and his hypnotic mixture of colloquial and eloquent language create a sound and music that are uniquely his own. That’s what infinity did, contain and threaten, until friends complied by going one by one to resurface obligingly in memories, and it sometimes still feels we left them at our leisure, that such choice was good so long as a larger choice seemed to succeed it, nor could gazing bereave us of common sense, nor would all plenty and foison fall into penury, nor would shame forever drop its heavy head. Infinity felt like life, and it said so, and waited. It even spelled our autumnal names in solid gold leaves that an inexhaustible supply of wind tossed for such pleasure as we had said and said until it transformed into the profound conviction that the right track was lost—imagine—forever, it turned our tears into pebbles that can’t seep away, that can’t fly away, that we don’t dare to pronounce, yet it seemed concocted out of a clear beautiful sky, yet it peeped out the woodshed and drank from the gutter spout, yet it wrestled with itself and sank in eager mud that presently it might be outwardly known along with all the other creatures that perish, heartbreaking idea among many heartbreaking ideas. --from Infinity
Download or read book Birds of a Feather written by Colin Rees and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Birds of a Feather, an informative and beautifully illustrated book, Colin Rees and Derek Thomas portray the changing seasons in the UK and US, bringing their observations together with some startling results. With images by artists Robert Gillmor and Ian Rees, the book will appeal to anyone with an interest in birds and their future in North America and the UK. Exploding flocks of Snow Geese rising from icy fields; the arrival of the osprey; the harmonies of the dawn chorus; migrating waders racing south before the surf – these are but a few moments evoking the sights, sounds and colours of the passing seasons observed and recorded over a year by two experienced ornithologists living on both sides of the Atlantic. In the context of their gardens, neighbourhoods and in larger landscapes, Colin Rees and Derek Thomas provide a month by month account of their birding year, commenting upon what they see and hear. They also consider how our world is radically changing the lives of birds. Birds of a Feather celebrates the gentle patter of raindrops, the scent and luminescence of spring, swallows of an evening and the first flight of young ospreys. They take the reader on walks through grasslands, forests, marshes, estuaries and along coasts and describe the effects of changing weather on flora and fauna, the unfolding of the breeding season, bird counts, the character of birders and bird organizations in the US and UK. They also address the challenge of conservation in the modern world. Over 45 million people consider themselves bird watchers in the US and 20 million watch birds in the UK making this book appealing to bird watchers on both sides of the Atlantic. Advanced praise for Birds of a Feather ‘The joys of the seasons are deep in our souls. Gilbert Whites classic The Natural History of Selborne shared his astute diaries of nature’s calendar. Edwin Way Teale’s acclaimed books on the American Seasons inspired a generation of naturalists on this side of the” pond”. Birds of a Feather now engages us in much the same way through the superior powers of observation and charming prose of two pals, here and there.’ – Frank Gill, formerly Philadelphia Academy of Sciences and Vice-President, Science, National Audubon Society. ‘Birds of a Feather is a poignant and moving reminder of how experiences of wildlife can grip the human soul and linger in our memories. Two friends thousands of miles apart share with us moments they will never forget. Their consciousness of, and love for, the natural world brings even the most unexpected places to life.’ – Stephanie Hilborne OBE, Chief Executive The Wildlife Trusts. ‘This book will be a great read for birders from either side of the Atlantic who normally experience the birds of the “other side” through short trips during peak seasons. The book provides a flavour of the year-round diversity of species and habitats through the eyes of two experienced birders who understand how seasonal change drives the bird movements that make birding so much fun. The trans-Atlantic comparisons of two amazing birding locations throughout the year make this an even more compelling read.’ – Mike Parr, Vice President for Program Development, American Bird Conservancy ‘’The annual rhythms of nature provide a ceaseless flow of variety and change to our natural environment that stimulate and inspire us, wherever we live. Observing birds is surely one of the most engaging ways to enjoy the year’s natural cycle, with bird migrations each spring and autumn delivering the colour and sounds of the tropics and the Arctic directly to us. Birds of a Feather takes us, via delightful personal accounts, through the ornithological year on both sides of the Atlantic, juxtaposing the rich coastal plain of the Chesapeake Bay with the rocky coast, plains and mountains of South Wales. Along the way are valuable reminders that birds in both regions, and across the globe, are at risk from a similar array of threats, including habitat loss, pollution, and climate change.’ – David Curson, Director of Bird Conservation, Audubon Maryland-DC ‘This delightful dialogue, back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean, demonstrates that wildlife is a shared pleasure wherever we live.’ – Mark Avery, former Head of Conservation at RSPB, now a freelance environmental consultant and journalist. The book features illustrations by Robert Gillmor (cover art) and Ian Rees (interior illustrations) Robert Gillmor is an English artist, ornithologist and illustrator and one of the founders of the Society of Wildlife Artists of which he is a past president. He has contributed to over 100 books, is a 2001 recipient of the medal from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and his work is the subject of numerous museum collections. He recently designed seven sets of Royal Mail postage stamps and over many years has designed many of the book jackets for the New Naturalist Library in the U.K, published by Collins.
Book Synopsis How to Fix Exploding Brains? by : Ram Arora
Download or read book How to Fix Exploding Brains? written by Ram Arora and published by ram. This book was released on 2009-11-11 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All living organisms are like biological robots. Their physical actions, organic capabilities and senses are firmly and very narrowly limited and so programmed in the DNA. Brain, the master controller of the living system, is as susceptible to external and internal stresses as all other bodily components. The brain is also abode of the mind, and the mind is the embodiment of thoughts. The scientific observation that brain and mind die simultaneously is irrefutable. Wherein the brain the mind parks itself is a mystery. The brain is more intricate than the universe and the mind exceeds the brain in complexity. Billions of neurons and trillions of synapses keep on firing, acting, reacting, storing, and communicating to and from sensory organs as long as the structure of the brain is not damaged, diseased, or dead. Brain, when overloaded with its electric charge due to intense mental activity, can explode like a bomb. Five people are known to have died when their brains blew up because of the condition called Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis (HCE). The most recent death occurred when psychic Barbara Nicole's skull burst. Chess Champion Nikolai Titov's head suddenly blew apart when he was concentrating on his move. The brain endures many mini explosions without shattering. HCE kills rarely, but sickens very often. All evil emotions cause stronger HCE than pleasant thoughts do.
Book Synopsis Transforming Terror by : Karin Lofthus Carrington
Download or read book Transforming Terror written by Karin Lofthus Carrington and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspired collection offers a new paradigm for moving the world beyond violence as the first, and often only, response to violence. Through essays and poetry, prayers and mediations, Transforming Terror powerfully demonstrates that terrorist violence--defined here as any attack on unarmed civilians--can never be stopped by a return to the thinking that created it. A diverse array of contributors--writers, healers, spiritual and political leaders, scientists, and activists, including Desmond Tutu, Huston Smith, Riane Eisler, Daniel Ellsberg, Amos Oz, Fatema Mernissi, Fritjof Capra, George Lakoff, Mahmoud Darwish, Terry Tempest Williams, and Jack Kornfield--considers how we might transform the conditions that produce terrorist acts and bring true healing to the victims of these acts. Broadly encompassing both the Islamic and Western worlds, the book explores the nature of consciousness and offers a blueprint for change that makes peace possible. From unforgettable firsthand accounts of terrorism, the book draws us into awareness of our ecological and economic interdependence, the need for connectedness, and the innate human capacity for compassion.
