The Mystical Origins of Hasidism
|
["Rachel Elior"]
| 3.9 | 10 | 4 |
The words 'hasid' and 'hasidism' have become so familiar to people interested in the Jewish world that little thought is given to understanding exactly what hasidism is or considering its spiritual and social consequences. What, for example, are the distinguishing features of hasidism? What innovations does it embody? How did its founders see it? Why did it arouse opposition? What is the essential nature of hasidic thought? What is its spiritual essence? What does its literature consist of? What typifies its leadership? What is the secret of its persistence through the centuries? How have scholars explained its origins? Is hasidism an expression of mystical ideas, or a response to changing social circumstances? What is its connection to kabbalah? To Shabateanism? To messianism? What is its relationship to the traditional structures of authority in the Jewish world? This book aims to answer all these questions in a lucid and accessible manner.
Rachel Elior focuses on the fundamental positions and the factors of primary importance: the substantial issues that recur in the hasidic texts, including how hasidim have seen themselves over the centuries, how they have constructed a new spiritual and social ideal, and how that ideal has stood the test of reality. The goal is to present the main characteristics of the hasidic movement and to examine the social implications of its mystical ideas. The text is fully supported by references to the relevant hasidic sources and academic literature. The book concludes with a list of the hasidic texts on which the discussion is based and a comprehensive bibliography of scholarly works on kabbalah and hasidism.

THREE TIMES TABLES
|
["Sara Maitland"]
| 3.79 | 63 | 7 |
Three women share a house in London. Rachel, her daughter Phoebe and her 15 year-old granddaughter Maggie all have to confront crucial but apparently unrelated personal dilemmas in the same twenty-four hours. Rachel an eminent palaeontologist, has to face the fact that her life work is scientifically wrong; Phoebe has a breast lump she has ignored long enough; and Maggie has to recognise that her adventures with her dragon are preventing her from growing-up.
The novel has been described as “symphonic” because of its tight structure and interwoven imagery and as “a rare blend of erudition and flamboyance” because of the way it pulls together scientific ideas and magical realist writing.

Form follows Finance: Skyscrapers and Skylines in New York and Chicago
|
["Carol Willis"]
| 3.73 | 85 | 11 |
Although fundamental factors of program, technology, and economics make tall buildings everywhere take similar forms, skyscrapers in New York and Chicago developed very differently in the first half of the twentieth century. In contrast to standard histories that counterpose the design philosophies of the Chicago and New York "schools," Willis shows how market formulas produced characteristic forms in each city"vernaculars of capitalism"that resulted from local land-use patterns, municipal codes, and zoning. Refuting some common clichs of skyscraper history such as the equation of big buildings with big business and the idea of a "corporate skyline," Willis emphasizes the importance of speculative development and the impact of real-estate cycles on the forms of buildings and on their spatial distribution. Form Follows Finance cautions that the city must be understood as a complex commercial environment where buildings are themselves businesses, space is a commodity, and location and image have value.

Sufi, Expressions of the Mystic Quest
|
["Laleh Bakhtiar"]
| 4.2 | 49 | 7 |
Sufism is the inner dimension of Islam, expressing hidden archetypes in concretesymbols. To the Sufi, both the ritual of the worshiper and the work of the craftsman evoke the life that resides in all the preparedness of matter to answer the call of God. Through the Sufi themes of the descending arc of creation, the formation of the human soul, and its return through the ascending arc of the Quest, Laleh Bakhtiar brings to light the spiritual reality that underlies the forms and rhythms of the Islamic tradition.

What if the most terrifying thing imaginable lived inside you? I’ve made a mistake. And it’s a big one. After my ex-best friend stabs me with my own blade then topples us both through the portal— leaving Glasgow overrun with ghouls and other evil creatures—I land in the middle of my worst nightmare. Burnt soil stretches out to my sides, my heels teeter on the edge of a sheer cliff that drops into nothingness, and a hoard of humans rush at me with spears and axes. I’m pretty sure they want my head on a pike. Worse? Someone has tampered with my memories. How that’s possible, I have no clue. But if I had to guess, I’d say Black is behind it all. Tumultuous, deadly, our insane chemistry borders on explosive. If only he’d get rid of the goddess he’s been banging. My life is nothing like it used to be. Somehow, it twisted into a sick mess of family secrets, my sister’s murderer, and a crumbling wall inside my mind, which sets a homicidal psychopath loose on the world. It is recommended book one, Chance the Darkness, to be read prior to Sense the Darkness Sense the Darkness is book 2 in the Dark Series.

When Vanessa got into her car that winter's afternoon, she had no idea she was setting off on a journey with no return. An inner journey that would call into question a whole life spent living up to other people's expectations.
With tragic and comic episodes that bring together a domineering mother, a hippie aunt, a boring marriage, an insufferable boss and a friend who never knows when to shut up, "The Strange year of Vanessa M." shares Vanessa's voyage of self-discovery with us. And it makes us marvel at the power we have to question things, because there's no end to the pursuit of happiness.

The Perpetual Astonishment of Jonathon Fairfax
|
["Christopher Shevlin"]
| 3.79 | 4,316 | 285 |
"You can't help being tickled" - The Guardian
"Not many books make me laugh out loud, but The Perpetual Astonishment of Jonathon Fairfax is one of them... A comic gem" - Stylist magazine
"Shevlin was rightly picked up by the literary agency that represents the likes of David Nicholls" - Metro newspaper
Amazon UK bestseller: #1 Political Humour, #2 Humorous Fiction, #9 Humour
Shortlisted for the Bath Novel Award
When Jonathon Fairfax accidentally helps a murderer bump off Sarah Morecambe, the secretary of a senior politician, he sets off a chain of events that astonishes him. Jonathon is wrong-footed by even the most everyday things, so he's particularly startled to find himself caught up in a conspiracy that goes right to the heart of government.
Teaming up with a suave private investigator, a glamorous grannie and the probable love of his life, Jonathon must confront his greatest fears - including talking to girls and balaclava-clad killers - and answer some very difficult questions. Who murdered Sarah Morecambe? What is the strange secret that unites the entire British government? And what exactly does it feel like to kiss a real-life woman?
With its naïve, reluctant hero and wry look at life, The Perpetual Astonishment of Jonathon Fairfax has been compared to books by Douglas Adams, Carl Hiaasen and PG Wodehouse.

Bagian-bagian dari silsilah Sunan Gunungjati masih diselimuti kabut rahasia. Kisahnya dikenal dalam berbagai versi. Arman Arroisi mengisahkannya berdasarkan salah satu versi yang populer. Jadi, kita tidak perlu heran jika terdapat kisah-kisah yang berbeda.
Yang jelas, Sunan Gunungjati adalah wali termuda di antara kesembilan wali yang termahsyur di tanah Jawa, yang dikenal dengan sebutan Wali Sanga. Keistimewaannya, ia bukan hanya penyebar agama Islam, melainkan juga sekaligus pemimpin bangsa, pemimpin negara, dan penentang penjajahan yang tangguh. Ia sangat menentang upaya bangsa Portugis untuk menjajah negeri ini dan sadar akan bahaya yang mengancam karena bangsa itu telah bercokol di Indonesia Timur dan di Malaka.
Dalam hubungan ini, salah satu jasa terbesarnya ialah berhasil menghancurkan armada Portugis di Teluk Jakarta. Itulah sebabnya ia juga dianggap sebagai pahlawan nasional.
Sunan Gunungjati adalah salah satu namanya. Ia dikenal juga dengan nama-nama lain.

President Obama and a New Birth of Freedom: Obama's and Lincoln's Inaugural Addresses and Much More

["Joseph Cummins"]
| 4 | 3 | null |
The presidential inaugural ceremony celebrates the ideals of renewal, continuity, and unity. This book is set to release weeks after Obama′s inauguration and the day before Lincoln′s 200th birthday, and celebrates the USA′s "new birth of freedom." It highlights Obama′s inaugural address and Lincoln′s first and second inaugural addresses, with exciting commentary and trivia that provide the perfect context for this historic moment, one that will be studied in classrooms the world over. As President Lincoln did over a century ago, Barack Obama has challenged America to transcend race and ideology to unite in commitment to a higher principle. Both men began their political careers in the Illinois statehouse, entered the White House facing extraordinary challenges, and, as Obama has said of his political hero, "through his will and his words...moved a nation."

(Vocal Collection). Includes historical notes, translations and International Phonetic Alphabet A collection of essential Schubert songs for students. The diction lessons were recorded by Irene Spiegelman, German diction coach at the Metropolitan Opera.

This experienced language coach adapts the "R" in German in the slow versions as recommended for classical singers. She is also very sensitive to liaisons between word sounds in the musical settings. An die Musik * An die Nachtigall * Auf dem Wasser zu singen * Der Musensohn * Die Forelle * Du bist die Ruh * Ganymed * Gretchen am Spinnrade * Heidenroslein * Im Fruhling * Lachen und Weinen * Nacht und Traume * Rastlose Liebe * Standchen * Seligkeit.

MENTORING – COACHING – COUNSELING : Ferramentas Estratégicas para o Gestor Desenvolver sua Equipe (GESTÃO Livro 1)
|
["SERGIO PAULO BEHNKEN"]
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
Nas últimas décadas, o mundo tem passado por tantas mudanças de ordem social, tecnológica e econômica que muitas relações estabelecidas nos padrões anteriores estão se tornando obsoletas ou extintas. Da mesma forma, dentro das organizações, os modelos que serviam de referência para constituir os parâmetros nas relações entre um superior e seus liderados estão mais voláteis e se modificando rapidamente. Na atualidade, um modelo que ainda proponha o autoritarismo como forma de gerir pessoas (paradigma de chefe) ou que dependa de carismas individuais para conseguir que os resultados sejam atingidos por uma equipe (paradigma de líder), pode ser considerado como improvável ou desconectado com a realidade demandada pelas organizações modernas. Obviamente, o mercado ainda continua repleto de exemplos que confirmam esses modelos antigos, mas a procura por profissionais com um perfil diferenciado aponta para a mudança eminente desses paradigmas. Esses novos profissionais conseguem conduzir suas equipes aos resultados esperados sem a truculência dos antigos chefes, e promovem relações harmoniosas e motivadoras sem necessariamente possuir um perfil de liderança incondicional e encantadora. Ou seja, são profissionais que coordenam suas equipes de forma mais madura, conseguindo conciliar a entrega de bons resultados com a atenção aos aspectos relacionais e humanos de seu pessoal. A esses profissionais nós denominamos de gestores e para eles o presente livro foi pensado e escrito.

Haydn
|
["John F. Runciman"]
| 2.9 | 10 | 4 |
John F. Runciman (1866-1916) was the author of Old Scores and New Readings (1901), Wagner (1905), Haydn (1908), Purcell (1909) and Richard Wagner (1913). "It is, as a rule, inexpedient to begin a book with the peroration. Children are spared the physic of the moral till they have sucked in the sweetness of the tale. Adults may draw from a book what of good there is in it, and close it before reaching the chapter usually devoted to fine writing. But the case of Haydn is extraordinary. One can only sustain interest in a biography of the man by an ever-present sense that he is scarcely to be written about. All an author can do is, in few or many words, to put a conundrum to the reader-a conundrum that cannot even be stated in exciting terms... "

Climate Change And Human Health: Risks And Responses
|
["Anthony J. McMichael"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
Over the ages, human societies have altered local ecosystems and modified regional climates. Today, the human influence has attained a global scale. This reflects the recent rapid increase in population size, energy consumption, intensity of land use, international trade and travel, and other human activities. These global changes have heightened awareness that the long-term good health of populations depends on the continued stability and functioning of the biosphere's ecological, physical, and socioeconomic systems. The world's climate system is an integral part of the complex of life-supporting processes. Climate and weather have always had a powerful impact on human health and well-being. But like other large natural systems, the global climate system is coming under pressure from human activities. Global climate change is, therefore, a newer challenge to ongoing efforts to protect human health. This volume seeks to describe the context and process of global climate change, its actual or likely impacts on health, and how human societies and their governments should respond, with particular focus on the health sector.

Fire on the River: The Defense of the World's Longest Covered Bridge And How It Changed the Battle of Gettysburg
|
["George Sheldon"]
| 3 | 2 | null |
It is late June 1863 in southern Pennsylvania. The Confederates are invading the North, and one of their toughest and most cantankerous generals has decided to capture the grand covered bridge that spans the Susquehanna from Wrightsville to Columbia. From there, General Jubal Early plans to capture Lancaster, and then seize the state's capital, Harrisburg. Local militia, made up of inexperienced schoolboys, convalescing wounded soldiers, and untested but valiant Black troops, took positions west of Wrightsville. General Early's men were battle-hardened, and easily outnumbered the inexperienced defenders. Easily out gunned, the Federals were to prevent the Southerners from crossing the bridge. General Early had orders to destroy it, but intended to capture it on his way to siege the North. Fire on the River tells the story that is often described as a mere skirmish in most history books. What happened in the tiny village of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania on June 28, 1863 changes the course of the Civil War. Here is the story that for so long has been overlooked in the history books. It is an amazing story of courage, and perhaps not surprisingly, how the U.S. Congress never compensated the bridge's owner for the loss, yet the burning of the covered bridge probably saved the Union.

It's a Kind of Magic
|
["Iain Benson"]
| 4 | 2 | null |
There’s a new hero in town, and he’ll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about wizards, magicians, and witches.
James London is an ordinary guy with an extraordinary knack for being in the wrong place at the right time. Once more, he’s on hand when a mischievous child triggers a catastrophic event that unleashes an unspeakable evil.
As London races to prevent the dawn of a new magical era, he embarks on a wild journey, taking him to hell and back. He’ll need the help of Merlin, the fabled sword of King Arthur and a time travelling demon. Who knew preventing doomsday could get so darn complicated?
London must navigate the treacherous realm of demons and dodge fireballs on the M6 while trying to keep his sense of humour intact. After all, laughter is the best defence against evil mages, right?
And what about those burning questions that keep you up at night? Why can’t wizards cross running water? Why do magicians despise iron? And why should Shakespeare have set his three witches’ scene on a balmy summer’s day? Well, get ready for a dose of tongue-in-cheek enlightenment as London uncovers the answers to these perplexing mysteries. Although, he never will find out why libraries stock the A2Z of Basingstoke in the Dark Arts section, because some secrets are just too dark to reveal!
In this uproarious escapade, London has more near-death experiences than a clumsy cat with nine lives. Will he save the world? Or will the Ferryman take him on a one-way trip?
Hold on tight and get ready for a side-splitting journey where hilarity and danger go hand in hand. It’s a race against time that London is determined to win, even if it means sacrificing his sanity, his safety, and possibly his life. Good luck, James. You’re going to need it!

Improving Quality in Education: Dynamic Approaches to School Improvement
|
["Bert P.M. Creemers"]
| 4.25 | 4 | 1 |
This book explores an approach to school improvement that merges the traditions of educational effectiveness research and school improvement efforts. It displays how the dynamic model, which is theoretical and empirically validated, can be used in both traditions.

National Service High Jinks
|
["Eric M. Malcolm"]
| 3 | 16 | null |
National Service High Jinks (a young man story, 1947-49) The book is an interesting account of a "Two year, three week and two day" stint of National Service from basic training to demob.The author entered National Service without any great enthusiasm; it was just something to get over with. Nevertheless, he did his best, enjoyed his time in the Army and profited by his experiences. After six weeks basic training with the Black Watch at Queens Barracks in Perth, Scotland the author was sent to Barnard Castle in Yorkshire. He was also based at Gravesend, Stiffkey, Lenton Hurst, Langham, Bostal Heath, Welbeck and Weybourne. The author has been able to recount so much, as if occurred yesterday (instead of over half a century ago) because he kept diaries and letters he wrote home at the time to his parents.An enjoyable read. Includes interesting photographs and illustrations.

Building the Past: Prehistoric Wooden Post Architecture in the Ohio Valley Great Lakes
|
["Brian G. Redmond"]
| 5 | 1 | null |
“This volume presents a much-needed synthesis of prehistoric wooden architecture in the greater Ohio region. The authors pursue new avenues of research in explaining architectural variation from rarely encountered Archaic domestic structures to large public buildings of Fort Ancient societies.”—Cameron Lacquement, editor of Architectural Variability in the Southeast
“A significant contribution to the cultural history of the Ohio Valley and the archaeological literature on perishable architecture. The primary data and detailed descriptions of wooden post constructions make it a valuable resource.”—Sissel Schroeder, University of Wisconsin–Madison
The study of ancient architecture reveals much about the social constructs and culture of the architects, builders, and inhabitants of the structures, but few studies bridge the gap between architecture and archaeology. This comprehensive examination of sites in the Ohio Valley, going as far north as Ontario, integrates structural engineering and wood science technology into the toolkit of archaeologists. Presenting the most current research on structures from pre-European contact, Building the Past allows archaeologists to expand their interpretations from simply describing postmold patterns to more fully envisioning the complex architecture of such critical locations as the Hopewell site, Moorehead Circle, and Brown’s Bottom.
The record of perishable architecture at these sites has proven difficult to interpret because it is often merely organic residues, including soil stains from decayed wall posts, charred timbers, or trenched wall foundations. Addressing new discoveries and presenting previously unpublished data, this volume is an invaluable resource for archaeologists investigating the diverse ways prehistoric societies manifested their social worlds in earth, wood, and stone.

Obama dietro la maschera: La strategia dell'illusione: golpismo mondiale dietro un fantoccio di wall street
|
["Webster Griffin Tarpley"]
| 5 | 1 | null |
Barack Obama è il frontman di un colpo di stato postmoderno da parte delle agenzie di intelligence americane. Cresciuto nell’orbita della Ford Foundation, ha come suo guru e controller Zbigniew Brzezinski, già Consigliere per la sicurezza nazionale durante il catastrofico mandato presidenziale di Jimmy Carter e fautore di una prova di forza con la Russia e la Cina di gran lunga più pericolosa per gli Stati Uniti che l’avventura di Bush-Cheney in Iraq. Brzezinski, uno dei fondatori dell’inquietante Commissione Trilaterale, reclutò Obama alla Columbia University e oggi, tramite il suo pupillo, internamente proclama l’austerità e il sacrificio per le famiglie dei lavoratori americani per salvare dal fallimento i finanzieri di Wall Street, mentre a livello internazionale lavora per portare allo scontro le Potenze avversarie con tutti i mezzi possibili. Il tutto per riaffermare il primato degli Stati Uniti nel Mondo e bloccare sul nascere il multilateratismo. L’analisi qui riportata offusca parecchio la maschera progressista e pacifista che l’Obama della prima ora ha indossato nella sua lunga performance pre-elettorale e mette in luce tutte le contraddizioni di una Presidenza molto più reazionaria di quello che la politica americana può apparire a prima vista.

Excerpt from Seven Great Statesmen in the Warfare of Humanity With Unreason
My purpose in writing these essays has been to acquaint men who are interested in the bearings of modern his tory on public life with sundry statesmen whose time was devoted not to seeking office or to winning a brief popular fame by chicanery or pettifoggery, but to serving the great interests of modern states and, indeed, of uni versal humanity. I would present these statesmen and their work as especially worthy to be studied by those who aspire to serve their country in any way.

Disconnect

["Rachel Trautmiller"]
| 4.36 | 50 | 16 |
A conscienceless serial bomber has a game to play. The rules are simple. There are none.
Somebody knows Detective Amanda Nettles more than she cares to acknowledge. With one phone call, a faceless and genderless madman, proves he knows every dark secret Amanda has—even those she’s never uttered to a soul.
Two explosions have rocked downtown Charlotte and shaken its citizens. All the clues lead back to Amanda. With the FBI—namely Baker Jackson Robinson watching her every move, Amanda must figure out the why behind the madness, because this guy is coming after them. One-by-one. And he wants her to witness every detail.
Robinson’s life has never been simple. Prior to his sister’s comatose state, he preferred the chaos and the danger if it meant saving a life. Raising a pre-teen dependent on him, alone, means he needs to skirt around danger, aka—Amanda Nettles. The attractive and unavailable detective is trapped in play only their perpetrator understands. And he's using those closest to Amanda as bait.
With each new event, Amanda must make a choice. Follow her heart, protect her friends and lose the life she's built for herself or sit on the sidelines and watch someone else destroy it. The last thing she intends to do, is involve the one man who understands her, in a way no one has before. Because Robinson isn't the type to walk away from a fight that matters. And she won’t stop looking for answers just because they aren't readily available.
If only her feelings for the handsome Agent would disappear...
And his need for the Detective's sassy comebacks, wasn't so strong...
The clock wouldn't be ticking. With innocent lives in the balance.

"USA gjør verden til et bedre sted- en ammunisjonsrunde om gangen." Offiserspiren Kate (17), Lumber City, USA. Året var 2008, og jeg var 25 år gammel. Jeg hadde forlatt familie og venner i Norge, slått opp med kjæresten og bosatt meg i en nordamerikansk by jeg bare måneder tidligere ikke ante eksisterte.Jeg hadde ett spørsmål ringende i hodet: Hvorfor valgte mine jevnaldrende i USA å verve seg til meningsløse kriger? I Support our troops tar forfatter og sosialantropolog Sarah Salemeh oss med til Lumber City. En by der den gamle Ford-fabrikken er byttet ut med Army National Guard Armory. Der gatene, verandaene og postkassene er prydet med det amerikanske flagget. Der bilene har klistremerker med sirlig løkkeskrift som formaner: "Support our troops". Hun har skaffet seg leilighet. Hun har leid en burgunderrød Buick Century 1995-modell. I den kjører hun rundt for å finne svar: Er det patriotisme, idealisme eller økonomi som driver dem? Support our troops er et rørende portrett av et USA i miniatyr,et land som har vært i krig nesten sammenhengende de siste 60 årene. Vi møter hjemvendte Iraksoldater, Vietnamveteraner, militærets rekrutterer - og ikke minst,mødrene og kjærestene som venter.

What would you do if you're husband gave you permission to pick out the man you wanted to have a threesome with? That's exactly what happened to me, and let me tell you, it was great! We ended up having so much fun, and my husband finally opened up about his sexuality a little bit and did it with a guy. But that wasn't where it ended, that was where it started. Because once you realize that you can do those kind of things with your partner they aren't scary anymore and end up being just fun. And what better kind of fun is there than exhilerating adventures in the bedroom? I still get butterflies in my stomach when I see my husband take another man in front of me.

Adventure at Whaler's Bay
|
["John Summons"]
| 2 | 3 | null |
A boat shed fire; a pack of mysterious killer whales that haunt the bay; an embittered, bereaved father; a mother's ghost; a high-spirited daughter who refuses to become a lady; a son who hates the cruelty of whaling and dislikes the sight of blood; a clairvoyant old woman; a shadowy, sinister stranger and a bumbling police sergeant - these are some of the ingredients that make "Adventure at Whalers Bay" such an enthralling and entertaining read. "Adventure at Whalers Bay" is set in the early 1900's in a small bay whaling town, based on Eden, Australia, where for more than a century real killer whales aided and abetted humans to herd and hunt whales. With its moody seaside atmosphere and strong evocation of a bygone era, "Adventure at Whalers Bay" is a rattling good yarn of suspense, mystery and revenge.

The Norman Warrior
|
["Roy Stedall-Humphryes"]
| 4 | 7 | null |
From Roy Stedall-Humphryes, comes a new epic, BELLÊME The Norman Warrior. This powerful story of the life and times of Robert de Bellême, begins on the eve of the Norman Conquest of England in the year, 1066. William Talvas, Lord of Bellême, had given his daughter Mabile de Bellême in marriage to Duke William's close adviser Roger de Montgomery, and from their union was born Robert de Bellême.“The rain had eased. Squinting to the right, Robert could just make out through the fine drizzle, the salt marshes, west of the inlet which formed a natural harbour. There, Duke William’s invasion fleet was at anchor. He caught sight of his friend’s flapping cloak as Prince Robert bore down on him.They had raced to the headland every morning for the past few days, Robert beating the Prince to the finish every time. The two boys, having recently met in the company of their parents, had struck up an immediate rapport and were becoming firm friends. Their fathers, together with the nobility of northern France, were planning the Great Campaign.”Years later when Robert had inherited the titles and lands of his parents, he risked all as the one true supporter of Robert Curthose, the Duke of Normandy, in the game of power politics, battling for the Duke's claim to the English Throne and the defence of the Duchy of Normandy. The stakes were high. Passion for the woman he loved, friendship, pitted against a background of conflicting loyalties, tyranny, violence, treachery and his implacable enemy, King Henry I of England.To many, Robert de Bellême was the shining star of 12th century Normandy, to others a cruel and Godless man. This novel weaves historical fact with fiction, putting flesh on the dry bones of history to reveal the real Robert de Bellême, and is the first to be published in a striking series which will hold you spellbound to the last page.

Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and Joseph Kony: American Efforts to Counter the LRA in Central Africa, Uganda, Central African Republic (CAR), Congo, and South Sudan
|
["White House"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
As America commits military personnel to Central Africa, learn about the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), led by Joseph Kony. In announcing the deployment of U.S. military troops, President Obama "For more than two decades, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has murdered, raped, and kidnapped tens of thousands of men, women, and children in central Africa. The LRA continues to commit atrocities across the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and South Sudan that have a disproportionate impact on regional security. Since 2008, the United States has supported regional military efforts to pursue the LRA and protect local communities. Even with some limited U.S. assistance, however, regional military efforts have thus far been unsuccessful in removing LRA leader Joseph Kony or his top commanders from the battlefield. In the Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009, Public Law 111 172, enacted May 24, 2010, the Congress also expressed support for increased, comprehensive U.S. efforts to help mitigate and eliminate the threat posed by the LRA to civilians and regional stability."
This essential compilation of government and military reports and papers, totaling over 700 pages, provides analysis and background data on the LRA and related issues includes extensive background information on Uganda, the Central African Republic (CAR), South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa). There is in-depth coverage of human rights and counterterrorism in those Central African countries, plus detailed information from the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). There is review of the history of U.S. military involvement in Africa, the expanding role of U.S. military assistance and security cooperation in Africa, and the use of U.S. Armed Forces in Africa from 1950 to 2008.
In May 2010, President Obama signed into law the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act, which reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to support regional partners’ efforts to end the atrocities of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in central Africa. For more than two decades, the LRA has murdered, raped and kidnapped tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children. Since 2008 alone, the LRA has killed more than 2,400 people and abducted more than 3,400. The United Nations estimates that over 380,000 people are displaced across Central African Republic (CAR), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and South Sudan as a result of LRA activity. The United States’ comprehensive, multi-year strategy seeks to help mitigate and end the threat posed to civilians and regional stability by the LRA. The strategy outlined four strategic objectives for U.S. (1) the increased protection of civilians, (2) the apprehension or removal of Joseph Kony and senior LRA commanders from the battlefield, (3) the promotion of defections and support of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of remaining LRA fighters, and (4) the provision of continued humanitarian relief to affected communities. The United States’ decision to send a small group of military advisers to assist the forces that are countering the LRA forms part of our continuing effort to achieve these strategic objectives.

Multiple and intersecting Identities in Qualitative Research
|
["Betty M. Merchant"]
| 4 | 1 | null |
This book extends the current discourse on the role of cultural knowledge in qualitative research, especially research conducted by women of color within their own community. Each author reports on her attempts to conceptualize herself as a researcher while simultaneously trying to honor her cultural connectedness and knowledge.
As women researchers analyzing the personal and professional contexts in which their research was conducted, the authors argue that their gender, race, religion, and status have played critical roles in their research agendas. They offer a female perspective, though not a feminist critique per se, for they believe that gender does play a significant role in their research efforts. Equally important, they explore the role that race has played in their research, whether as women of color or white women conducting research among people of color.
In reflecting on how their unique positionality allows them to understand relationships across many boundaries, the authors observe how, in most cases, because of their position as women and/or people of color, they have not had some of the traditional problems associated with access to multicultural sites. However, they have encountered other issues and they share how, as researchers, they met and resolved these issues for their particular settings. Each author also discusses how, in addressing these issues, she labored to meet the standards of academia, often at a personal cost.
This book challenges existing paradigms by questioning the assumption of objectivity in research. It is essential reading--informative, provocative, and engaging--for researchers and students in research methods, women's studies, critical theory, and cross-cultural studies.

Art Therapy, Race and Culture
|
["Frederica Brooks"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
While therapists are increasingly working with multi-ethnic client groups, there is a paucity of material available for them to develop approaches, which meet diverse cultural and racial needs. Art Therapy, Race and Culture is a stimulating and inspiring collection which explores the often contentious themes of race, racism and culture in relation to the experience of art therapy, in a positive and constructive way. Contributors examine the impact of racial perceptions in their own experience, their clients' lives, and on the interaction of therapist and client. The potential of art therapy as a force of liberation, and art therapists as cultural activists, is explored. Cultural differences in meanings applied to 'colour' and to the nature of art are also discussed. Illustrated with line drawings and photographs, the book presents work, ideas and theories based on the practical experiences of therapists from many different backgrounds and their work with clients from equally diverse origins.

Persistence & Perseverance: Dance Until It Rains

W Mitchell has lost his fingers and most of his body is paralyzed. Bound to a wheelchair, his once-burned face resembles a Halloween mask. That hasn t been enough to keep him from co-founding a $65 million company, serving as mayor of his community, and saving a mountain!
Becky Guinn has a different challenge --- she lost her hands and feet -- but that hasn t stopped this artist from painting and her passion --- teaching art to her students.
Bill Porter has all of his body parts --- they just don t always work right --- because of a lifetime of cerebral palsy. However, that apparently never entered his mind as he became the top salesman in his company with a daily routine so grueling that it would cause all but the most persistent to wither.
These are just three of the seventeen great examples of everyday persistence that are to be found between the covers of Dance Until It Rains.

BEST ENEMIES: Murder, Obsession, and Survival in the Rugged Backwoods of New York State
|
["Anthony D'Augustine"]
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
"The true measure of a man lies in his ability to remain independent and in his capacity to command respect. Plain and simple. That's an epitaph I'd favor." Such is the philosophy of one-time Newark Detective Sergeant Mac Taylor. After retiring under questionable circumstances, Mac searches to find his daughter and to square up with two of his BEST ENEMIES. The search takes him to a recreational park in the Catskill Mountains known as Mongaup Pond. When a murder and kidnapping occur at the upstate New York campground, Mac takes it personally. With the help of two weekend campers (Jason Strunella and his sister, Cheryl Groden), Mac sets out to deliver a special brand of street justice upon the offenders. Meanwhile, Police Lieutenant Evan Falco-working within the constraints of the law-races to find the determined avengers and to unravel a greater mystery; one that leads to a startling conclusion.

The Marx Brothers Meet W.C. Fields
|
["Dan Castell"]
| 4 | 2 | null |
In this light-hearted short story, Groucho and Chico Marx are marooned on a Pacific island, only to find themselves in the fell clutches of a tribe of joke-starved natives led by W.C. Fields. And it happens like
A portly soul steps forth from the mist.
Groucho does a double-take at the soul, then reaches out to shake hands.
“You’re…you’re W.C. Fields. Mr. Fields, you’re one of my heroes.”
“Mine too,” says Fields in his trademark twang. “Take pride in your good taste, son. Now go away—you bother me.”
“But Mr. Fields. I learned everything I know about comedy watching you. You made me what I am today.”
“That’s the most revolting testimonial I’ve ever heard,” says Fields. “I plead not guilty on all counts. Who are you, anyway, my indefatigable carbuncle?”
“Don’t you remember me? I’m Groucho Marx.”
“Marx...Marx?” Fields scratches the back of his neck with his bamboo cane. “Oh yes, I recall that catastrophic encounter. You muffed that scrub grounder during the ‘08 World Series. You cost Ed ‘Two Toes’ Jones his shut out. Your team lost the game and I lost fifty dollars. Fortunately, I deducted it as educational expenses.”
“Educational expenses?”
“Yes, I learned never to bet on a game until you know the final outcome.”
Soon the Marx Brothers are locked in a deadly game from which there seems no escape. Can Groucho and Chico escape their fell clutches, or will Fields and his henchmen work their nefarious designs on the ill-fated Marxes?
Here is the first true revelation of such crucial insider information
*The dark secrets behind the Knockaknocka, and their insatiable desires
*The real reason real W.C. Fields hates Philadelphia, and the doleful effect that had on his travel plans
*What fell fate befalls Groucho when he meets the mysterious Joke-o-tron?
*And why did that dang chicken really cross the road?
If you like this book, look for other titles in the “Marx Brothers Meet...” series, including the novel that launched the whole cockamamie collection, "The Marx Brothers Meet God", due out in 2012. If you don't like it, buy it anyway; it'll keep your Kindle on its toes.
This is a short story of about 4,000 words or 16 pages.

Modernism and Memory: Rhoda Pritzker and the Art of Collecting
|
["Ian Collins"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
This book is a glorious celebration of Rhoda Pritzker’s collection of 20th-century British art, much of which has been donated to the Yale Center for British Art. Pritzker, who was born in Manchester in1914 and emigrated to the United States during the Blitz, was an avid and daring collector of paintings, sculptures, and drawings. Keen to support artists whose reputations were still emerging, and loyal to no single school or style, she developed a unique and impressively diverse collection. While Pritzker most actively purchased pieces in the 1950s and 1960s, her collection offers a fascinating window onto postwar artistic production. Beautifully illustrated, this catalogue features a number of unpublished works and archival materials. Among the artists discussed are key figures, including L. S. Lowry, Barbara Hepworth, Anthony Caro, and Henry Moore, as well as lesser-known artists. The texts elucidate the factors that made Pritzker’s method of collecting so singular—namely her relationship to an evolving transatlantic artistic community and the deeply personal nature of the works she procured.

The Secret to a Successful First Date: A Flawless Method for Blowing Her Mind, Building Attraction, and Never Being Lonely Again
|
["Drew Michaels"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
The Most Complete Book for Guys on How to Succeed on a First Date.When going out on a first date, there's only one question guys ask ever really themselves: “Will she like me?”In The Secret to a Successful First Date, author Drew Michaels addresses this by making the question a complete non-issue, offering a set of unique principles to create instant attraction and set the reader apart from 99% of the other guys out there -- regardless of any limitations they think they have.The main challenge most men face when they’re on a first date is they often look at the situation in the complete opposite way that they should be. They should be focusing only on things they can control (many of which can be used to create a spark between them and their date that will literally pull the woman in like a magnet). Instead, they usually find themselves completely off-balance, fumbling through the evening and unsure of themselves or whether the girl is into them, never really knowing how to handle whatever issues come up.In answer to this, Michaels communicates key lessons that cut straight through these common obstacles. Part exploration of female psychology and part how-to instruction, the book offers wisdom on building attraction and making an impression that will be remembered long after the evening has ended. Discover the Key Principles for First Date Success That Will Completely Transcend All Tactics and StrategiesWhile most of the so-called ‘dating advice’ out there focuses on tactics that may or may not work depending on whatever situation the guy is in, The Secret to a Successful First Date instead offers more fundamental principles that create attraction at a much deeper level – which then allow tactics to naturally and effortlessly emerge in such a way that the guy using them instantly comes across as both genuine and authentic.Favoring a simple approach, the author includes to-the-point guidance on virtually every hurdle of a typical first date, offering solutions to the most common problems guys might face. Blow Her Mind, Build Attraction, and Never Be Lonely AgainThe Secret to a Successful First Date challenges conventional dating wisdom and dares readers to engage with women in a more dynamic and effective way. Rather than being built on untested theories or inconsistent techniques, it instead maps out proven field-tested principles that create a new way of approaching dating success, delivering the information in such a way that a completely new paradigm and worldview for success with women emerges.Highlights Include:The one thing to focus on during a first date that almost nobody ever considersThe secret about ‘bad boys’ and ‘nice guys’ that makes you way more attractive than either of themEasy-to-understand psychology behind the impressions people have when they just start to learn about youThe strategy everyone else uses on first dates, and how to use that knowledge to stand out from the packA simple mindset that exponentially increases your chances of ending the date with a kissA simple little ‘trick’ to do with your voice that automatically helps you exude a lot more confidenceThe perfect location for a first dateAn easy question to ask yours

THE AUTHOR IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TO SHARE THIS COMPELLING STORY This story is figuratively ripped from the pages of my diary. I share the intimate details of my life in an emotionally & mentally abusive relationship that ended very badly, with death and destruction splattered across the front pages and international TV breaking news. I reflect on how I fed into and enabled my husband's controlling behaviors with my own self-sabotaging bad habits, and how I finally woke up to recognize the reality of the situation, and saw the warning signs of a dangerous reaction to my exit from the relationship. Despite my depression, anxiety, and fear, I pulled myself out, and believe I saved both my daughter and myself. In August 2001, I was a 39-year-old mother to an 8-year-old daughter and was an Ivy League Business School MBA with a high-paying finance management job. Yet, I had absolutely no idea how I could possibly divorce my emotionally and mentally abusive husband, Louis William Joy, III, who on the surface, seemed like a very nice, well-educated, professional guy. With every step that I took forward to leave, I was pushed back by his intimidation and the control he had systematically gained over me throughout our 20-year marriage. When l finally got the courage to leave, my husband hunted me down for two days, and in a rage, unable to find me and having been served a temporary restraining order, he flew our private airplane into our newly built home in Amherst, NH, burning it to the ground and killing himself in the process. Through our population’s vicarious detective work via suspense crime shows, most of us have learned the profile of the typical serial killer, rapist, pedophile, stalker, etc., but few can begin to comprehend the profile of an individual with the capacity to murder family or intimate partners. When a tragic murder and /or suicide occurs, everyone shakes their head in disbelief and wonder, saying the person must have snapped, distraught about the end of the relationship or child custody rights. People can only rationalize such acts by assuming something went awry, because they sure seemed like a nice person who loved their family. The horrific accounts of the deaths are splattered across the news media, and reporters scramble to find the inside scoop to explain it all away. Typically, the majority of sound bites from interviews of people who knew those involved indicate they are shocked that this could have happened to such normal people. Yet few of these victims’ life stories are ever told in detail. Truth is, there is a lot going on behind closed doors and smiling faces that the individuals cover up with their external persona. I can confidently say that if I had not taken action to secure our safety, my daughter and I may not have survived. And nobody would have understood how or why it happened. I am that person you see every day at work and in the neighborhood who seems to have the perfect life, but is actually living in a mentally and emotionally abusive relationship with a very dangerous spouse. I don’t view Lou as the villain and me as either the victim or the heroine. I don’t know if he could be diagnosed as having borderline or narcissistic or any other personality disorder, or if he was just difficult and, at the end, very troubled. I have no idea what labels would define my co-dependent and enabling behaviors over the years. I do know that our relationship was dysfunctional and unhealthy. I reveal events from the years that led up to the tragic ending to educate about relationships like ours. I hope that by sharing what went on behind the screen of the picture perfect life that people will recognize themselves, friends, family, coworkers, or patients long before a crisis, and ultimately help save lives.

ישראל היא אחת הארצות המתוכננות ביותר בעולם, אבל הסביבה שבה חיים אזרחיה − המחוּטטת, המחוּפפת, המחוּצצת והמחוררת − לא מרמזת על פסגתן השמיימית של יומרות התכנון או של תירוצי המתכננים. אותה סביבה עומדת במרכזו של ספר זה, כפי שתיארה, הסבירה ופירשה אותה אסתר זנדברג במשך רבע מאה של כתיבה עיתונאית במקומון ״העיר״ ובעיתון ״הארץ״.
בשל נקודת המבט הייחודית שסיגלה לעצמה − לא–אדריכלית בין אדריכלים, לא–מתכננת בין מתכננים − והמשמעות הרחבה והמרחיבה שיצקה לתוך המושג ׳סביבה׳, זנדברג היא עיתונאית שלכתיבתה אין בארץ תקדימים, כמו גם ממשיכים נראים לעין. הסביבה של זנדברג היא, במישור המילולי ביותר, כל מה שנמצא שם מסביב, כל הדבר הזה שחיים בתוכו, בכל קנה מידה ובכל מקום.
הרשימות שכונסו כאן הן מסמך היסטורי ייחודי שמערטל את פניה של הארץ בישירות מפתיעה, אכזרית ומנחמת במידה שווה. הן מתארות כפועל יוצא גם את שרידיו של אותו מפעל בנייה ציוני, אידאליסטי, מדוּגם ובתולי לכאורה של אמצע המאה שעברה, בעודם נעלמים מאחורי אבק הדחפורים ואתרי הבנייה, מפנים מקום ל׳יש׳ חדש − ׳סביבה ישראלית׳ הפכפכה, מורכבת, חסרת מעצורים ומסוכסכת שממשיכה להדהים את המתבוננים בה, לא תמיד מהסיבות הנכונות.

A Big Manhattan Year: Tales of Competitive Birding
|
["David Barrett"]
| 4.15 | 26 | 3 |
What is it like to spend nearly every day for a year trying to observe as many bird species as possible within the confines of Manhattan? In 2012 I did just that—it’s called having a “big year”—and I was not the only one. In this book I tell how I learned to bird and how I went on to become a competitive birder. Then I give a detailed account of my 2012 battle with one of the nation’s best, ornithologist Andrew Farnsworth, and others, to have the biggest of big Manhattan years.
You may be surprised that each year over 200 species of birds reside in or migrate through Manhattan. Observing and accurately identifying them requires special skills. You need to know what they look like, what they sound like, and where and when they are likely to appear. Birding can be a leisurely walk in the park, or it can be something much more challenging. Manhattan is home to a number of talented and obsessive birders for whom birding is a test of brains, logistics, and physical stamina, requiring both an understanding of nature and a knack for technology.
Those new to birding will learn along with me as I begin by exploring one of the world’s premier birding locations, the Central Park Ramble. As my own knowledge and experience grow, I introduce the reader to a series of beautiful and rare birds to be found not only in Central Park, but in the many excellent but less well-known parks of Manhattan. Journey with me from the waters of New York Harbor, where Red-breasted Mergansers and Horned Grebes swim, to the top of Inwood Hill Park, where Black Vultures and Great Horned Owls fly.

Isaac Mizrahi
|
["Chee Pearlman"]
| 4.09 | 11 | 4 |
A landmark survey of the work of Isaac Mizrahi, a trailblazing and influential American fashion designer, artist, and entrepreneur
Beginning with Isaac Mizrahi’s first fashion collection, which debuted to critical acclaim in 1986, and running though the present day, this stylish, lavishly illustrated book presents his signature couture collections. Mizrahi’s exuberant couture style is classic American, inventively reimagined. He pioneered the concept of “high/low” in fashion, and was the first high-end fashion designer to create an accessibly priced mass-market line. Mizrahi approached other complex issues through his designs, as well—mixing questions of beauty and taste with those of race, religion, class, and politics.
Although Mizrahi (b. 1961) is best known for his clothing, his work in theater, film, and television is also explored. The result is a spirited discourse on high versus low, modern glamour, and contemporary culture. Three essayists discuss Mizrahi’s place in fashion history, his close connection to contemporary art, and the performative nature of his designs. New photography brings Mizrahi’s fashions to life, and an interview with the artist offers an intimate perspective on his kaleidoscopic work in diverse media.

The Teachings of Master Wuzhu: Zen and Religion of No-Religion
|
["Wendi Leigh Adamek"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
The Record of the Dharma-Jewel Through the Generations (Lidai fabao ji) is a little-known Chan/Zen Buddhist text of the eighth century, rediscovered in 1900 at the Silk Road oasis of Dunhuang. The only remaining artifact of the Bao Tang Chan school of Sichuan, the text provides a fascinating sectarian history of Chinese Buddhism intended to showcase the iconoclastic teachings of Bao Tang founder Chan Master Wuzhu (714–774). Wendi Adamek not only brings Master Wuzhu's experimental community to life but also situates his paradigm-shifting teachings within the history of Buddhist thought. Having published the first translation of the Lidai fabao ji in a Western language, she revises and presents it here for wide readership.Written by disciples of Master Wuzhu, the Lidai fabao ji is one of the earliest attempts to implement a "religion of no-religion," doing away with ritual and devotionalism in favor of "formless practice." Master Wuzhu also challenged the distinctions between lay and ordained worshippers and male and female practitioners. The Lidai fabao ji captures his radical teachings through his reinterpretation of the Chinese practices of merit, repentance, precepts, and Dharma transmission. These aspects of traditional Buddhism continue to be topics of debate in contemporary practice groups, making the Lidai fabao ji a vital document of the struggles, compromises, and insights of an earlier era. Adamek's volume opens with a vivid introduction animating Master Wuzhu's cultural environment and comparing his teachings to other Buddhist and historical sources.
