Book Synopsis Religion and Judaism From A Different Perspective by : Rachel Angel - Sussman
Download or read book Religion and Judaism From A Different Perspective written by Rachel Angel - Sussman and published by Australian Self Publishing Group. This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and Judaism From A Different Perspective were written for people of all faiths as well as for people of no faith. It was not written for people of the Jewish faith only. Religion and Judaism From A Different Perspective offer the answers so desperately needed to turn around the wheels of our ‘broken’ world – A world where suffering is (and has been) inflicted by humans on each other in the name of religion and ‘God’ as well as in the name of ‘no religion’ and ‘no God’. The author – Rachel Angel-Sussman - invites you to join her on a journey… The first part of the journey – Religion From A Different Perspective – is a journey into self. It aims to prompt personal insights, realizations, and re-connection with one’s core of being, with the truth of who we each are, and with the truth about the nature of religion and how it can fail and transform its ‘music’ to an ‘unbearable noise’. The second part of the journey – Judaism From A different Perspective – is a journey into Judaism. However, the process and principles of exploration employed apply to all religions and non-religions, and the reflections and messages apply to us all by means of our shared humanity. Each reader is invited to apply this process, principles, reflections, and messages to themselves and to the religion they either practice or reject. The author believes that not only our inner (personal) and outer (collective) peace, but also the future of the human race, are subject to the willingness to take this journey and come Home – to our Soul and our Humanity…
Book Synopsis Contemporary Collecting by : Kevin M. Moist
Download or read book Contemporary Collecting written by Kevin M. Moist and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the importance of collections has been evident in the sciences and humanities for several centuries, the social and cultural significance of collecting practices is now receiving serious attention as well. As reflected in programs like Antiques Roadshow and American Pickers, and websites such as eBay, collecting has had a consistent and growing presence in popular culture. In tandem with popular collecting, institutions are responding to changes in the collecting environment, as library catalogs go online and museums use new technologies to help generate attendance for their exhibits. In Contemporary Collecting: Objects, Practices, and the Fate of Things, Kevin M. Moist and David Banash have assembled several essays that examine collecting practices on both a personal and professional level. These essays situate collectors and collections in a contemporary context and also show how our changing world finds new meaning in the legacy of older collections. Arranged by such themes as “Collecting in a Virtual World,” “Changing Relationships with Things,” “Collecting and Identity—Personal and Political,” and “Collecting Practices and Cultural Hierarchies,” these essays help illuminate the role of objects in our lives. Covering a breadth of interdisciplinary perspectives and subjects—from PEZ candy dispensers and trading cards to sports memorabilia and music—Contemporary Collecting will be of interest to scholars of cultural studies, anthropology, popular culture studies, sociology, art history, and more.
Book Synopsis Cultures of Collecting by : Roger Cardinal
Download or read book Cultures of Collecting written by Roger Cardinal and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2004-09-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the psychology, history and theory of the compulsion to collect, focusing not just on the normative collections of the Western canon, but also on collections that reflect a fascination with the "Other" and the marginal – the ephemeral, exotic, or just plain curious. There are essays on the Neoclassical architect Sir John Soane, Sigmund Freud and Kurt Schwitters, one of the masters of collage. Others examine imperialist encounters with remote cultures – the consquitadors in America in the sixteenth century, and the British in the Pacific in the eighteenth – and the more recent collectors of popular culture, be they of Swatch watches, Elvis Presley memorabilia or of packaging and advertising. With essays by Jean Baudrillard, Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, Nicholas Thomas, Mieke Bal, John Forrester, John Windsor, Naomi Schor, Susan Stewart, Anthony Alan Shelton, John Elsner, Roger Cardinal and an interview with Robert Opie.

Book Synopsis Playful Materialities by : Benjamin Beil
Download or read book Playful Materialities written by Benjamin Beil and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game culture and material culture have always been closely linked. Analog forms of rule-based play (ludus) would hardly be conceivable without dice, cards, and game boards. In the act of free play (paidia), children as well as adults transform simple objects into multifaceted toys in an almost magical way. Even digital play is suffused with material culture: Games are not only mediated by technical interfaces, which we access via hardware and tangible peripherals. They are also subject to material hybridization, paratextual framing, and processes of de-, and re-materialization.

Book Synopsis The Beeching Legacy by : Phil Horton
Download or read book The Beeching Legacy written by Phil Horton and published by Silver Link. This book was released on 2019-10-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this popular volume has been out of print for several years and has become much sought after. Produced in black and white, the first edition was the first volume in the series, taking a detailed regional look at the Beeching Report, its proposals for closures and modifications of the UK railway network. The report has become legendary and the interest and debate it generated is no less today than it has ever been since first published. Indeed, with railways now rejuvenated and passenger numbers growing ever larger, the reflection on what Beeching got right and what perhaps in hindsight got very badly wrong makes for fascinating reading. This new, expanded second edition has been completely reworked and is now published with color illustrations both new and replacing the original black and white images where possible. The text has been expanded and updated as appropriate and there are 32 extra pages, bringing the new edition to 192 pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together for the first time the most significant papers on the interpretation of objects and collections and examines how people relate to material culture and why they collect things. The first section of the book discusses the interpretation of objects, setting the philosophical and historical context of object interpretation. Papers are included which discuss objects variously as historical documents, functioning material, and as semiotic texts, as well as those which examine the politics of objects and the methodology of object study. The second section, on the interpretation of collections, looks at the study of collections in their historical and conceptual context. Many topics are covered such as the study of collecting to structure individual identity, its affect on time and space and the construction of gender. There are also papers discussing collection and ideology, collection and social action and the methodology of collection study. This unique anthology of articles and extracts will be of inestimable value to all students and professionals involved in the interpretation of objects and collections.

Book Synopsis The Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Volume 11 by : Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Download or read book The Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Volume 11 written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 963 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 of 2. Coleridge's Shorter Works and Fragments brings together a number of substantial essays that were not long enough to require volumes to themselves, among them his "Theory of Life," "Essays on the Principles of Genial Criticism," "Treatise on Method," "Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit," "On the Passions," and "On the Prometheus of Aeschylus." To these are added more than four hundred other pieces, some of them fragementary, many of them previously unpublished, ranging in date from school essays of the early 1790s to a discussion of the bullion controversy in 1834. As might be expected, the subject matter includes literature and language, theology, philosophy, politics, and science, but in many less predicatble topics (such as child labor laws, marriage, suicide, church history, the abolition of slavery, the state of the colonies) also appear. By gathering this material and presenting it in chronological order, Shorter Works and Fragments reveals the development and major characteristics of Coleridge's seemingly inexhaustible variety. H.J. Jackson and J.R. de J. Jackson, Professors of English at the University of Toronto, are the editors of Coleridge's Marginalia and Logic, respectively, in the Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Bollingen Series LXXV Originally published in 1995. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
