Book excerpt: This revolutionary book is a practical guide for helping communities in any location or context - from a fishing community in England to a logging town in Canada to a farming village in India - to develop a collective vision of a prosperous and sustainable future and a road-map for mobilizing and managing their natural resources to realize that future. It explains in a step-by-step manner how to use a process of 'participatory modelling' to structure people's learning, their understanding of the natural systems they depend upon and how this can lead to better social and environmental outcomes. The book is for communities and professional natural resources managers who want to use this powerful tool to help people share visions of the future they want and to take appropriate, immediate action to turn them into reality. It introduces both the theory and practice of participatory modelling using everyday language and a variety of accessible and successful examples. The result is a practical, useful and accessible guide for practicing real, successful community-based natural resource management anywhere, in any circumstances, for community prosperity.

Book excerpt: What a delightful exploration. Thought provoking, insightful, vulnerable, Suzanne, you give us much to work with here. You inspire us to explore and discover so much more of ourselves. Empowering. Jach Pursel, Channel for Lazaris The Lazaris Material, Concept Synergy, Inc. Suzanne takes you with her on her intimate and extraordinary path as a magician of light. Leaving her painfully limiting dream of a life behind, she finds who she really is and discovers a free, expansive and joyous way of being. In An Awakening, Suzanne shares with you the wondrous strategies and techniques that you can use to free yourself, too. Don t miss this opportunity to transform your life Ginger Chalford Metraux, Ph.D. Channel for Galexis Have you ever felt like you have read every metaphysical/spiritual book on the market and attended every seminar on the subject but still feel that you cannot apply it in your daily life? If you answered yes to this question, then this book is for you. And since there are no prerequisites for growth, it can also fulfill the needs of seekers wherever they are on their spiritual path. Suzanne shows you how to create your own reality through the teachings of her Unseen Friends, Lazaris and Galexis, in conjunction with her own personal experience. By first unveiling the kinds of blockages like Shame, a subject rarely addressed but must be dealt with if you want to lead a happy life; then followed by Anger, and Forgiveness as the three go hand in hand. You will master how to process them and how to access your Subconscious and Unconscious Minds to help you get rid of these blockages once and for all. You will learn how to co-create with your Unseen Friends and go into the more Real World of magic and miracles to create what you want and bring it back into our world of Illusion. In addition, you will find out how to step into a Future Self who is aligned with your life or soul purpose. Monumental changes are happening on the planet, and some of them can be downright scary. As the world is being dismantled to make room for something new, Suzanne gives you a map filled with practical techniques and strategies to navigate through the chaos regardless of whatever is happening externally around you; and better yet, so that you can emerge in a new reality with a new template installed in you. So, whether you are a practicing healer or a novice, if freeing yourself from the past and stepping forward in your future sounds exciting, then you owe it to yourself to read this book."
Book Synopsis What Are We Doing When We Pray? by : Vincent Brümmer
Download or read book What Are We Doing When We Pray? written by Vincent Brümmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent Brümmer's classic book on prayer from 1984 provides a comprehensive philosophical analysis of central issues regarding the nature and practice of prayer. What do we do when we ask things of other people, when we thank them or praise them, when we express penitence for what we have done to them and ask their forgiveness? And how does doing these things in relation to God differ from when we do them in relation to other people? And what does this entail for the existence and nature of the God to whom we pray? This new edition has been substantially revised and updated. Three new chapters have been added which develop in detail a hint by G.K. Chesterton that faith 'is not a thing like a theory but a thing like a love affair.' Since prayer is the expression of this 'love affair' it is also the clue to understanding the nature of faith. These chapters contribute significantly to the current academic interest in spirituality by showing how Brümmer's analysis of prayer helps us to understand the nature of spirituality, of faith and religious belief, and of theology. Spirituality is not aimed at achieving religious 'experiences' or mystical 'knowledge' about God; it is primarily aimed at attaining the religious form of life and at coming to see the world in the light of faith. Religious belief is not merely a cognitive enterprise like science; it cannot be divorced from spirituality and the life of faith, and is therefore fundamentally existential and not merely intellectual. Serving as a valuable core text for students, this book also contributes to a number of current debates in theology and philosophy of religion: the debates on realism and religious belief, on the rationality of faith and the nature of theology, on the relation between religious belief and morality, on the relation between science and religion and the lively debate among evangelical Christians in America on the 'openness of God.'

Book Synopsis Words of Hope and Healing by : Children's Advocacy Centers of Georgia
Download or read book Words of Hope and Healing written by Children's Advocacy Centers of Georgia and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directors in the Childrens Advocacy Centers of Georgia state network of CACs have collaborated on a book certain to provide words of future hope and healing for the courageous children who have been victims of childhood sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Indeed, anyone who has experienced a traumatic event, or have been the loved one of such a person, will find value and meaning to the thoughts and messages inside this book. Our mission is to be, now and always, for the children. ___________________ People who work at Childrens Advocacy Centers go to work not just for a job, but in commitment to an important cause. Ultimately, their response and involvement with a child who has alleged child abuse and the childs family, while significant, is relatively brief considering the future lifetime of a child. However, this can be a critical pivot point for everyone involved. With this book, the Childrens Advocacy Centers of Georgia, through the amazing words of the Executive Directors of Georgias CACs, seek to expand their positive influence beyond the immediate needs of child survivors of abuse and their families. The words in this book are parting gifts for the children and families who are served in Childrens Advocacy Centers, for them to read and contemplate, and then re-read, in their own individual journeys toward health and healing (Chris Newlin, MS LPC, executive director, National Childrens Advocacy Center, Huntsville, Alabama).

Book Synopsis The Politics and Science of Prevision by : Andreas Wenger
Download or read book The Politics and Science of Prevision written by Andreas Wenger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book inquires into the use of prediction at the intersection of politics and academia, and reflects upon the implications of future-oriented policy-making across different fields. The volume focuses on the key intricacies and fallacies of prevision in a time of complexity, uncertainty, and unpredictability. The first part of the book discusses different academic perspectives and contributions to future-oriented policy-making. The second part discusses the role of future knowledge in decision-making across different empirical issues such as climate, health, finance, bio- and nuclear weapons, civil war, and crime. It analyses how prediction is integrated into public policy and governance, and how in return governance structures influence the making of knowledge about the future. Contributors integrate two analytical dimensions in their chapters: the epistemology of prevision and the political and ethical implications of prevision. In this way, the volume contributes to a better understanding of the complex interaction and feedback loops between the processes of creating knowledge about the future and the application of this future knowledge in public policy and governance. This book will be of much interest to students of security studies, political science, sociology, technology studies, and International Relations. The Open Access version of this book, available at https://www.routledge.com/The-Politics-and-Science-of-Prevision-Governing-and-Probing/Wenger-Jasper-Cavelty/p/book/9780367900748, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Papa's five-year-old daughter, Faithe, would be the oldest witness of seeing her mama burning to death. As a result, she would live a lifetime of depression and mental illness, leaving her to become an abusive wife and mother. A son who suffered emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his mother himself would lead a life of severe depression and acute anxiety. The emotionally and physically abused son will share five escapes or places of refuge which helped him endure his eight-year continued abuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when two intelligent and highly informed fictional college students, one strongly pro-choice and the other vigorously pro-life, are asked to put together a presentation on abortion? Their conversations over five days – friendly but lively, charitable but clear – are captured in this book. Through these dialogues, students and other interested readers are introduced to the difficult moral issues of abortion. In Chapter 1, readers learn about Roe v. Wade and other relevant legal cases. Chapter 2 covers basic, philosophical issues such as: What is a person? Are fetuses persons? Is fetal potential morally relevant? How shall we define the moral community? Chapter 3 introduces students to Don Marquis’s "Why Abortion is Immoral" and also the metaphysical issues of personal identity and its relevance to abortion. Chapter 4 covers Judith Jarvis Thomson’s "A Defense of Abortion", including objections and responses to the argument from bodily autonomy. Finally, Chapter 5 looks at abortion in hard cases, such as in cases of rape, fetal disability, non-viable pregnancies, and sex-selection; the chapter also includes a conversation on fathers and abortion. With a Foreword by Laurie Shrage, topics headings in the margins, and an annotated bibliography, Dialogues on the Ethics of Abortion is an easy-to-use volume and valuable resource for anyone interested in a fair and clear-headed approach to one of the most contentious moral issues of our time.

Book Synopsis Heritage Futures by : Rodney Harrison
Download or read book Heritage Futures written by Rodney Harrison and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preservation of natural and cultural heritage is often said to be something that is done for the future, or on behalf of future generations, but the precise relationship of such practices to the future is rarely reflected upon. Heritage Futures draws on research undertaken over four years by an interdisciplinary, international team of 16 researchers and more than 25 partner organisations to explore the role of heritage and heritage-like practices in building future worlds. Engaging broad themes such as diversity, transformation, profusion and uncertainty, Heritage Futures aims to understand how a range of conservation and preservation practices across a number of countries assemble and resource different kinds of futures, and the possibilities that emerge from such collaborative research for alternative approaches to heritage in the Anthropocene. Case studies include the cryopreservation of endangered DNA in frozen zoos, nuclear waste management, seed biobanking, landscape rewilding, social history collecting, space messaging, endangered language documentation, built and natural heritage management, domestic keeping and discarding practices, and world heritage site management.
Book Synopsis Visions of the Future in Comics by : Francesco-Alessio Ursini
Download or read book Visions of the Future in Comics written by Francesco-Alessio Ursini and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across generations and genres, comics have imagined different views of the future, from unattainable utopias to worrisome dystopias. These presaging narratives can be read as reflections of their authors' (and readers') hopes, fears and beliefs about the present. This collection of new essays explores the creative processes in comics production that bring plausible futures to the page. The contributors investigate portrayals in different stylistic traditions--manga, bande desinees--from a variety of theoretical perspectives. The picture that emerges documents the elaborate storylines and complex universes comics creators have been crafting for decades.
