The Soul of Real EstateOver the past decades, real estate developers have come to rely on the ebb and flow of the business cycle. Since the 1960s, the peaks between these cycles have averaged between seven and ten years. So we unquestionably know that they are coming. During the upward pendulum swing of an economic cycle, we consistently invest. This occurs during the period of stable growth and through the inevitable debaucheristic overbuilding. Once the inevitable bubble bursts, we shift into the mode of holding on to as much of our investment portfolio as possible and attempt to avoid bankruptcy. Often we find ourselves battling demons that we ourselves created. Whether we were constructing too many projects, building and investing in risky locations, or cross-collateralizing our investments so that when one or two fail, they all fail; the problems that typically threaten our demise are our own greed and stupidity.In addition, the product that the developer creates has become consistently more expensive, denser and more complex, and yet the structure of the firm has not metamorphosed itself to better contemplate the real world challenges that developers face. In fact, through some anti-Darwinian paradigm shift, the skills within our firms have devolved to the point that good, responsive, attractive and profitable buildings are more a product of chance than intelligent design. Whereas they were once tasked with placing a square peg in a square hole, the complexity of the responsibility hoist upon our current and future developers requires that they manufacture irregular pegs for a series of ever-changing shaped holes. Most of us are ill-prepared for this reality.Our path is not yet set in stone. The opportunity remains ours to return the greatest of professions to its rightful magnificence. And so we real estate developers have two daunting tasks; first we must continue to evolve and make buildings, and second, we must reverse the downward trajectory of the profession of development. We must save development from the developers. The Soul of Real Estate (TSORE) is intended to begin that conversation. In part one we explore, opine and offer solutions to our most basic and existential dilemmas. We will suggest different values and provide a vision for the future. Part two applies those premises toward a practical and methodical implementation. After all, we will surely fail if our solution doesn't seem achievable. We must dismantle the broken clock that is real estate development, and reengineer and reassemble its parts if we ever expect it to tell time again.Because development firms differ in scale, region and product type, there is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each of our organizations will be distinct. However, if the fundamental stability that we discuss is present in each of our organizations, the world of development (and consequently the world) will be a better place. Our hope is that this discussion is one that we will have throughout our lives; first as students in school, later during the times when we are most beaten down and the profession feels bleakest, and again as we form the basis of our own firms. Our hope is that we never again forgot who we are, why we do what we do, and how great it can be when we do it well. Our hope is that this conversation is just the beginning.

Re-imagining the 'Dark Continent' in fin de siecle Literature
Robbie McLaughlan
Edinburgh University Press
2012
sidottu
Explores the fin de siecle mission to open up the 'Dark Continent'This study maps the effects of a cartographic blankness in literature and its impact upon early Modernist culture, through the nascent discipline of psychoanalysis and the debt that Freud owed to African exploration. It demonstrates that tales of intrepid exploration and of dramatic cultural encounters between indigenous populations - often serialised in missionary magazines - had a profound influence on every facet of late Victorian and early Modernist culture. As Robbie McLaughlan shows, this influence manifested itself most clearly in the late Victorian 'best-seller' which blended this arcane Central African imagery with an interest in psychic phenomena. The chapters examine: representations of Black Africa in missionary writing and Rider Haggard's narratives on Africa; cartographic tradition in Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Jung's Memories, Dreams, Reflections; and mesmeric fiction, such as Richard Marsh's The Beetle, Robert Buchanan's The Charlatan and George du Maurier's Trilby.Key Features:* Opens up the 'dark continent' and its literary, historical and theoretical manifestations* Argues for an anticipation of a modernist aesthetic suggesting an unexplored relation between fin de siecle sensation literature, in particular mesmeric fiction, and psychoanalysis* Diverges from established colonial histories by drawing on an archive of special and neglected material Keywords: postcolonial, psychoanalysis, fin de siecle, mesmerism, colonial, missionary, cartography

Interpreting the God–Breathed Word – How to Read and Study the Bible

nidottu
This biblical interpretation textbook provides an accessible introduction to the latest approaches in evangelical hermeneutics. Having many years' experience teaching hermeneutics to undergraduates, Robbie Castleman explains complex themes in an engaging way. She addresses all the current schools of thought in contemporary evangelical hermeneutics and incorporates recent important trends in biblical interpretation. This book helps students recognize the living Word as they read and study Scripture as an act of being engaged by the triune God of grace who breathed and still breathes "the word of the Lord."
The shortcomings of Piaget's theory of intellectual development are well-known. Less clear is what sort of theory should be devised to replace it. This volume describes the current "main contenders," including neo-Piagetian, neo-connectionist, neo-innatist and sociocultural models. Its contributors conclude that none of these models are adequate because each one implies a view of the human mind which is either too general, too particular, or too modular. A collaborative program of research -- seven years in the making -- is then described, which gives support to a newly emerging synthesis of these various positions.
Why would a successful physician who has undergone seven years of rigorous medical training take the trouble to seek out and learn to practice alternative methods of healing such as homeopathy and Chinese medicine? From Doctor to Healer answers this question as it traces the transformational journeys of physicians who move across the philosophical spectrum of American medicine from doctor to healer. Robbie Davis-Floyd and Gloria St. John conducted extensive interviews to discover how and why physicians make the move to alternative medicine, what sparks this shift, and what beliefs they abandon or embrace in the process. After outlining the basic models of American health care-the technocratic, humanistic, and holistic-the authors follow the thoughts and experiences of forty physicians as they expand their horizons in order to offer effective patient care. The book focuses on the radical shift from one end of the spectrum to the other-from the technocratic approach to holism-made by most of the interviewees. Because many American physicians find such a drastic change too threatening, the authors also address the less radical transition to humanism-a movement toward compassionate care arising from within the medical system.
Dogs are the most popular pet in the United States and a beloved family member to many. As with a human baby, a puppy's innocent "wild" behavior can provoke unkind treatment. The source of this unfortunate but common reaction often lies in the pastùthe family history of the caretaker.Written as a year-long journal, Milk Teeth chronicles sociologist Robbie Pfeufer Kahn's struggle to achieve a loving relationship with her black Labrador puppy, Laska. Mirthful, mischievous, intelligent, and strong-willed, Laska challenges her owner's attempts at leadership and affection. The puppy refuses pats, jumps up, and mouths with needle-sharp teeth. To her dismay, Kahn reacts with fear and anger, sometimes treating Laska roughly. Strangely, these encounters produce flashbacks from Kahn's diminished childhood andùwith the help of dog trainers, psychotherapy, and literature and theory from a variety of disciplinesùlight the way toward understanding her responses to the puppy. In time, Laska's sharp white teeth no longer serve as a metaphor for her character and she matures into a spirited, friendly dog. Kahn even reconciles with her parents from whom she has been estranged. Using her teaching, friendships, spiritual community, the natural world, and her grown son to keep herself rooted in the present, Kahn is able to explore her past.Poignant, raw, and at times humorous, Kahn's narrative invites readers to become aware of unconscious cruelty and its sources, to cultivate kindness, and to apply these insights not only to themselves and other humans, but also to the animals who share our lives.Presents the darker side of the human/animal bondSpeaks from both the victim and perpetrator perspectivesDemonstrates the importance of social support during psychological crisisIncludes journal entries
Drawing on archive material and oral history, Robbie Lieberman illustrates how grassroots peace activism in the USA became associated with Communist subversion after World War II, enabling proponents of the Cold War to virtually silence the opposition until the early 1960s.

Focusing on former student radicals at the University of Missouri, the University of Kansas, and Southern Illinois University, Robbie Lieberman presents a side of history that has been neglected in previous studies. Prairie Power is a superb collection of oral histories of Midwestern student New Left activists from the 1960's. Previous literature on 1960s student activism has focused primarily on elite schools on the East and West Coasts. The primarily white male Midwestern student activists were basically looked upon as ""long-haired dope-smoking anarchists"" who were responsible for the downfall of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). The author, however, argues that Midwestern students did indeed play an important role in shaping the New Left in the latter half of the decade, and that their efforts were not only significant at the time, but also had a lasting impact on the universities and towns in which they were active. Lieberman begins by explaining the significance of ""prairie power"" and establishing its place in the history of 1960s protest. She then presents the oral histories.
Prairie Power, a superb collection of oral histories from the 1960s, focuses on former student radicals at the University of Missouri, the University of Kansas, and Southern Illinois University. Robbie Lieberman presents a view of midwestern New Left activists that has been neglected in previous studies.Scholarship on the sixties has been shifting from a national focus to more local and regional studies, but few authors have studied the student movement in the Midwest. Moreover, the characterization of prairie power activists as "long-haired, dope-smoking anarchists" who were responsible for the downfall of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) has not been challenged directly. While still viewing these activists critically, Lieberman argues that midwestern students made significant contributions to the New Left in the latter half of the decade, and that their efforts were not only important at the time but also had a lasting impact on the universities and towns in which they were active.The author begins by explaining "prairie power" and establishing its significance in the history of 1960s protest. She then presents the oral histories in three parts. The first section reveals what "prairie power" meant to national leaders of SDS who were regional organizers in the Midwest. The second section of oral histories gives insight into the backgrounds, concerns, and activities of local leaders from the three universities who were homegrown midwestern activists. Lieberman shows that while the national leaders take credit for organizing on several college campuses, the local activists often felt that they were on their own.The third group of oral histories - from grassroots activists - is what most sets this book apart from previous works on the student New Left. These are students who joined demonstrations on their own campuses but did not necessarily identify with either local or national organizations. Their rarely heard voices help provide a better understanding of who participated in the student protest movement, why they were involved, and how their activities profoundly affected their lives for years to come.Prairie Power makes a significant contribution toward a more comprehensive history of student activism in the turbulent 1960s.

In a sex-saturated society, sex is on everyone's mind. And Christians are no exception. For many unmarried people, sex is the forbidden fruit, which makes it all the more intriguing. True Love in a World of False Hope presents an up-front, hopeful--and even humorous--look at God's plan for sexual relationships. Robbie Castleman believes reclaiming purity in relationships is a journey toward holiness. In sprightly, straight-for-the-target prose, she shows how unmarried Christians can wait until marriage without turning into prudes or wallflowers. She helps us see how we can mold and groom our desires, preparing for a lifetime of joyous and responsible sex within marriage. Provocative chapter titles include: "Hormones for Holy People," "Emotional Fornication and Other No-Nos," "Timing is Everything," "Touch Me, Touch Me Not," "Detours, Potholes, Road Hazards" and "Sinful Saints." Spiced with humor and refreshingly clear advice, True Love in a World of False Hope is the book on dating and sex for today's generation of young adults.
