In the Pursuit of Solitude: A Journey About Nature and Human Nature

In the Pursuit of Solitude: A Journey About Nature and Human Nature

Adam John Cruise

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2012

"I am a flight animal, like a horse, so my response was to run away from the evil. I wanted to leave mass humanity, the city, and civilization. I wanted to remove myself from other people and immerse myself in the seclusion of nature. I wanted peace of mind. I wanted solitude". Adam Cruise, disillusioned with his urban lifestyle, persuades his wife Amanda to abandon their business, home and three cats in Cape Town for a six-month journey into the remote interior of southern Africa. Their trip, in an expedition-prepared 4x4 but without any pre-planned idea other than to avoid civilization as much as possible, weaves through the remote recesses of the sub-continent in search of a true wilderness experience where real nature is untrammelled by human activity. Among lions, elephants and other African wildlife the couple find a harmonious and balanced world but one that is under a constant threat from the ravages of human advancement and mistreatment. This book is more than travel as escape; it's a personal quest in search of a solution to the eternal conflict between humanity and the environment. In a philosophical, anecdotal and sometimes witty approach Adam's curiosity and observations both reveal the compelling qualities of nature as well as unveiling the devastating effects of humanity - both African and Western - on even the most secluded places.

pokkari
Bei einer n heren Besch ftigung mit Przybyszewskis fr hem Prosawerk sowie seinem auf dieses folgenden dramatischen Oeuvre lassen sich vor dem Hintergrund einer breiten europ ischen Rezeption japanischer sthetik, wie sie besonders in der bildenden Kunst, aber auch in der Literatur und im Theater um 1900 zum Vorschein kam, interessante Beobachtungen machen. Mit dieser in der Przybyszewski-Forschung bislang nur fragmentarisch behandelten Thematik sollen neue Aspekte des Werks und der k nstlerischen Entwicklung des Schriftstellers herausgearbeitet werden. Adam Jarosz bezieht in seine vorliegende Untersuchung Przyby-szewskis Zusammenarbeit und redaktionelle Bet tigung an den renommiertesten Zeitschriften der Epoche (Die Zeit, Zycie, Chimera, Pan, Die Fackel) mit ein und stellt in Erst bertragung sowohl Texte bereit, die in diesen Kunstbl ttern erschienen (Wladyslaw Stanislaw Reymont) sind, als auch solche, deren Bedeutung schon lange nach einer deutschsprachigen bersetzung verlangt (Waclaw Sieroszewski). Ferner legt Jarosz die Korrespondenz Przybyszewskis mit dem Mentor japanischer Kunst der Zeit Feliks Jasienski Manggha vor. Allesamt tragen sie zum tieferen Verst ndnis der untersuchten Bez ge und der Faszination japanischen Kulturgutes in der Epoche des Jungen Polen bei.

This book could be anything: a journal, a keepsake, a calendar, a friend, all of the above. It gently (and not gently) pushes you through the year, gets you writing about your past, present, and future, facing your fears and then turning the page. Each of the 365 prompts presents a chance to draw, write, make a list, imagine, dream, or otherwise create something new. It's a warm, weird, wonderful counterpart to your inner artist, an engaging invitation to express yourself in ways you may never have imagined.

Neuroanatomy

Neuroanatomy

Adam J. Fisch

Oxford University Press Inc
2017

Neuroanatomy: Draw It to Know It, Third Edition teaches neuroanatomy in a purely kinesthetic way. In using this book, the reader draws each neuroanatomical pathway and structure, and in the process, creates memorable and reproducible schematics for the various learning points in Neuroanatomy in a hands-on, enjoyable and highly effective manner. In addition to this unique method, Neuroanatomy: Draw It to Know It also provides a remarkable repository of reference materials, including numerous anatomic and radiographic brain images and illustrations from many other classic texts to enhance the learning experience. In the third edition of this now-classic text, the author completely reorganized the book based on user-feedback, taking a more intuitive and easy-to-use approach. For the first time, the illustrations are in full color. No other text in neuroanatomy engages the reader in as direct a manner as this book and none covers the advanced level of detail found while retaining the simplistic approach to the learning which has become the cornerstone of the text. Neuroanatomy: Draw It to Know It is singular in its ability to engage and instruct without overwhelming any level of neuroanatomy student.

Punishment for the Greater Good

Punishment for the Greater Good

Adam J. Kolber

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2024
sidottu
Over ten million people are incarcerated throughout the world, even though punishment theorists have struggled for centuries to morally justify the practice. Theorists usually address criminal justice under abstract, idealized conditions that assume away real-world uncertainty. We don't have time, however, to wait for a perfect moral theory, and the history of philosophy suggests we will never find it.Punishment for the Greater Goodexamines the justification of punishment in the here and now, recognizing that we lack certainty about matters of both fact and value. Retributivists believe offenders deserve punishment because of their wrongdoing. They treat deserved punishment as intrinsically valuable. Adam Kolber argues that retributivism is too incomplete as a theory to address punishment at present and that the widely popular notion of proportional punishment at its core is both elusive and often undesirable. Rather than seeking retribution, we should reduce total societal suffering by deterring crime, incapacitating dangerous people, and hopefully rehabilitating them. Though this consequentialist approach has fallen out of favor in recent decades, Kolber argues that it is better suited to addressing punishment in the here and now than the approach commonly taken by retributivists. If consequentialism successfully justifies punishment, then contrary to some carceral abolitionists, at least some incarceration under some conditions is justified today. While we will rarely know how to punish for the greatest good, wecanseek to punish for the greater good.

Veiling Esther, Unveiling Her Story

Veiling Esther, Unveiling Her Story

Adam J. Silverstein

Oxford University Press
2018
sidottu
Veiling Esther, Unveiling Her Story: The Reception of a Biblical Book in Islamic Lands examines the ways in which the Biblical Book of Esther was read, understood, and used in Muslim lands, from ancient to modern times. It focuses on case studies covering works from various periods and regions of the Muslim world, including the Qur'an, pre-modern historical chronicles and literary works, the writings of a nineteenth-century Shia feminist, a twentieth-century Iranian encyclopaedia, and others. These case studies demonstrate that Muslim sources contain valuable materials on Esther, which shed light both on the Esther story itself and on the Muslim peoples and cultures that received it. Adam J. Silverstein argues that Muslim sources preserve important pre-Islamic materials on Esther that have not survived elsewhere, some of which offer answers to ancient questions about Esther, such as the meaning of Haman's epithet in the Greek versions of the story, the reason why Mordecai refused to prostrate before Haman, and the literary context of the 'plot of the eunuchs' to kill the Persian king. Throughout the book, Silverstein shows how each author's cultural and religious background influenced his or her understanding and retelling of the Esther story. In particular, he highlights that Persian Muslims (and Jews) were often forced to reconcile or choose between the conflicting historical narratives provided by their religious and cultural heritages respectively.

Islamic History

Islamic History

Adam J. Silverstein

Oxford University Press
2010

Does history matter? This book argues not that history matters, but that Islamic history does. This Very Short Introduction introduces the story of Islamic history; the controversies surrounding its study; and the significance that it holds - for Muslims and for non-Muslims alike. Opening with a lucid overview of the rise and spread of Islam, from the seventh to twenty first century, the book charts the evolution of what was originally a small, localised community of believers into an international religion with over a billion adherents. Chapters are also dedicated to the peoples - Arabs, Persians, and Turks - who shaped Islamic history, and to three representative institutions - the mosque, jihad, and the caliphate - that highlight Islam's diversity over time. Finally, the roles that Islamic history has played in both religious and political contexts are analysed, while stressing the unique status that history enjoys amongst Muslims, especially compared to its lowly place in Western societies where history is often seen as little more than something that is not to be repeated. Some of the questions that will be answered are: · How did Islam arise from the obscurity of seventh century Arabia to the headlines of twenty first century media? · How do we know what we claim to know about Islam's rise and development? · Why does any of this matter, either to Muslims or to non-Muslims? ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
