The Nature of Church Camp

The Nature of Church Camp: An Environmental History of Outdoor Ministry, 1945–1980 by Christopher W. Anderson explores the mid-twentieth-century history of religious camps and retreat centers to provide new insights into the history of environmentalism in the United States. Ecumenical Protestantism and the ecology movement both changed the calculus of American morality after World War II. Through archival material, case study visits, and oral histories, Anderson finds that these institutions often reacted to ecological critiques with temperate but gradual reforms. However, camps and outdoor ministries, by virtue of their natural settings and sizable acreage, soon provided a new way to explore the history of spirituality and ecology, moving away from the conference campus and using nostalgia for the frontier instead to make arguments about the meaning of the American nation and the value of democracy. This new way of thinking was reflected throughout the camps and enthusiastically endorsed decentralized small-group camping. By examining the conduct of church camps and conferences before, during, and after the ecological era, Anderson shows how environmental stewardship became the dominant paradigm for Protestant environmentalism, why that is a flawed and fractious model, and why it has stalled.
Dancing with My Father

Dancing with My Father

Leif Anderson; Christopher Maurer

University Press of Mississippi
2017
nidottu
Leif Anderson's Dancing with My Father is both a loving tribute to her unusual and famous father, Mississippi artist Walter Anderson, and an honest look at the effects he has had upon her personal life and her artistry. Due to Walter Anderson's erratic behavior and recurring absences, Leif Anderson experienced a difficult childhood. Never comfortable with home and fatherhood, Walter Anderson often affected family life as an alien and fearful force. Through her lyrical vignettes, Leif Anderson gradually comes to accept and, in the end, to cherish the artist's intense presence and his influence on her dance and her performance art.The slices of life in Dancing with My Father describe encounters both awkward and endearing, express a daughter's frustrated longing for a father's attention, and give insight into Walter Anderson's struggles. Leif Anderson reveals how her burdens-the urge to abandon the ""normal"" world and the tug of familial expectations-closely match those of Walter Anderson and how this realization helps her to comprehend him. In one vignette, she tells vividly of his solitary dancing. In another, she recounts her mother's story of Walter Anderson dancing with infant Leif in his arms. Leif Anderson reflects upon her father's love for birds and sees her talent as a way of representing those very birds. She begins to sympathize with his frequent escapes to Horn Island, knowing her own need for a haven that nurtures solitude and artistic expression.Many previously unrevealed glimpses of Walter Anderson as artist, naturalist, husband, and father are offered throughout the book. In his foreword Christopher Maurer, Walter Anderson's biographer, puts the relationship in context. Brush and ink drawings by both Walter Anderson and Leif Anderson draw the eye further into the author's vision of making peace with a paternal legacy of brilliance and pain. Dancing with My Father grapples wisely and firmly with two artists' lives and is a poignant portrayal of forgiveness, acceptance, and reconciliation for both daughter and father.

‘From one former Screaming Eagle to another, an excellent book and a real credit to the story of the 101st Airborne Division during the cold days and nights of Winter 1944, leading to Victory in Europe (VE) day.' – The NCO Journal (USA) 'Highly recommended'– Military Modelcraft International 'The understated heroism of Bowen and his comrades shines through his humility and candour.’ – Air & Space Power Journal (USA) Introduction by George E. Koskimaki Robert Bowen found himself drafted into Company C, 401st Glider Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, as World War II broke out, and soon afterwards found himself storming ashore amid the chaos on Utah Beach, through unfamiliar terrain littered with minefields and hidden snipers. He was wounded during the Normandy campaign but went on to fight in Holland and the Ardennes where he was captured and his‘trip through hell’ truly began. Written shortly after the war, Bowen’s narrative is immediate, direct and compelling. His account, one of the few by a member of a glider regiment, is a brutal insight into the battlefields of World War II and a vivid recreation of just what life was like in an elite unit. From the horror of D-Day and the despair of captivity, to the taste of C Rations and the fear of soldiers under fire, this memoir tells the full story of one man’s total war.

When someone brings up the subject of violent video games, it's usually for one of two reasons: a) To insist that media violence is turning our kids into killers, or b) To deny that media have any effects on us and to call anyone who says otherwise a moral crusader.Like most complex issues, the effects of media violence aren't so black-and-white. This book cuts through the rhetoric and grandstanding to directly answer the questions that parents, gamers, and researchers have. Condensing more than 50 years worth of scientific research into a easy-to-read book that provides clear, practical answers, the authors also "show their work" with detailed explanations and scientific references for those who want that level of detail. Written in an FAQ format, this book is the first of its kind: A handy reference guide that bridges the gap between media researchers and those who want scientifically accurate and informed answers stripped of the polarizing rhetoric."This outstanding book is absolutely the best I have ever read for supporting parents and professionals alike with accurate information about the impact of media violence. The short answer/long answer to all the questions is a brilliant way to give practical information that can immediately be put into decisive, confident action. I love this book and can't thank the authors enough for writing it and compiling mountains of relevant research in extremely useable ways. I am sharing it with everyone I know." - Gloria DeGaetano, Founder/Director, Parent Coaching Institute; Author: Parenting Well in a Media Age, Keep Our Kids Human"The authors know exactly what questions need answering, and they answer them in a clear style that should dispel many of the myths and misconceptions. I hope that this book will lead to a more civilised and rational debate about violent games and their place in society." - Professor Elizabeth Handsley, President, Australian Council on Children and the Media"The issues surrounding mass media violence are complex. This book helps us navigate this complex terrain in an easy and structured manner. It is a must read for educators, parents, researchers, and policy-makers." - Edward Donnerstein, Ph.D., Dean Emeritus, University of Arizona

The definitive book on what is known about the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene archaeological record in the Southeast The 1996 benchmark volume The Paleoindian and Early Archaic Southeast, edited by David G. Anderson and Kenneth E. Sassaman, was the first study to summarize what was known of the peoples who lived in the Southeast when ice sheets covered the northern part of the continent and mammals such as mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and ground sloths roamed the landscape.The American Southeast at the End of the Ice Age provides an updated, definitive synthesis of current archaeological research gleaned from an array of experts in the region. It is organized in three parts: state records, the regional perspective, and reflections and future directions. Chapters survey a diversity of topics including the distribution of the earliest archaeological sites in the region, chipped-stone tool technology, the expanding role of submerged archaeology, hunter-gatherer lifeways, past climate changes and the extinction of megafauna on the transitional landscape, and evidence of demographic changes at the end of the Ice Age. Discussion of the ethical responsibilities regarding the use of private collections and the relationship of archaeologists and the avocational community, insight from outside the Southeast, and considerations for future research round out the volume.

Klassiske og moderne antropologiske tænkere er en indføring i den særlige tænkning, som antropologien har fostret. Antropologien voksede ud af en stigende interesse for at forstå den globale mangfoldighed i slutningen af det 19. århundrede, hvor hele verden var kendt og opmålt. Samtidig vidste man stadig meget lidt om, hvordan enkeltsamfund hang sammen. Det blev der rådet bod på gennem det etnografiske feltarbejde, der opstod som en ny videnskabelig metode. Det direkte møde med andre former for samfundsliv og måder at ræsonnere på lagde grunden til en særegen antropologisk tænkestil, der udfolder sig mellem konkrete detaljer og generelle begreber. I bogen præsenteres centrale antropologers arbejder gennem intellektuelle portrætter af Franz Boas, Marcel Mauss, Knud Rasmussen, Margaret Mead, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Gregory Bateson, Mary Douglas, Talal Asad, Marilyn Strathern, Bruno Latour, Anna Tsing og mange flere. Klassiske og moderne antropologiske tænkere er skrevet af antropologer fra danske, norske og islandske universiteter og er redigeret af professor emeritus Kirsten Hastrup. Bogens opbygning er enkel: Tænkerne er kronologisk ordnet efter deres fødselsår. Fødselsåret forklarer naturligvis ikke tænkningen, men det er tydeligt, at hver enkelt tænker afspejler sin tid; lige så tydeligt er det, at afspejlingen hverken er mekanisk eller uniform, og at begreber kan trække lange spor i historien. Det, der forbinder kapitlerne med hinanden, er afsættet i konkrete samfund. Bogen viser således at “klassisk” og “moderne” ikke er entydigt tidslige kategorier. Specifikke feltarbejder finder sted på bestemte tider, men de kan omsættes i mangfoldige senere læsninger. Bogen er relevant for læsere inden for alle samfundsvidenskabelige studier såvel som inden for humanistiske studier, som ønsker at forstå og udfordres på begreber som kultur, natur, globalisering, slægtskab, udveksling og meget mere. Et kortfattet overblik, der introducerer hvert kapitel, en fyldig litteraturliste og et omfattende navne- og emneregister gør bogen anvendelig som opslagsværk og som redskab for litteratursøgning.

Anderson, Zelle, and their contributors provide in-depth analyses of electoral trends in Germany—the one country in which an electorate that had maintained stable democracy after World War II was enlarged by compatriots who had experienced decades of socialist rule.Most of the essays in this book first focus on long-term developments known to affect electoral change in industrial societies such as: societal transformations, changes in ideological thinking, and value change. After establishing if and how these developments have been taking place in the old Länder, they investigate whether similar trends can be observed in the eastern electorate or if the patterns are different. Then, present state and future prospects of electoral politics in the united Germany are assessed. In addition, some chapters concentrate on phenomena visible only in the eastern section in order to investigate causes and effects of these peculiarities. The editors elaborate on common themes and assess the findings in light of the author's guiding questions offered in introductory and concluding chapters. This is a major resource for students and scholars concerned with German politics.

Bogen undersøger, hvornår og hvordan partier, interesseorganisationer og andre aktører forsøger at gennemføre bestemte policies. At foretage gode analyser af offentlig politik kræver et solidt overblik over eksisterende teorier, men også en forståelse for, at virkeligheden ikke altid passer til de teoretiske forventninger. Analyser af offentlig politik er et håndværk – og det giver denne bog en introduktion til. Offentlig politik er en ”lærebogsklassiker”, men foreligger nu i en revideret 4. udgave, hvor stort set alle kapitler er enten helt nye eller kraftigt revideret, så bogen er aktuel og rækker ind i fremtidens politiske landskab. Bogen er redigeret af Christopher Green-Pedersen, Carsten Jensen og Peter Nannestad, Institut for Statskundskab, Aarhus Universitet.

Omkring 250.000 danskere har mindst én gang i løbet af deres levetid været i behandling for en kræftsygdom. Flere og flere overlever en kræftsygdom og har et liv efter sygdommen. Kvaliteten af det liv afhænger i høj grad af, hvor gode vi bliver til i et integreret behandlingsperspektiv at opspore, identificere og om nødvendigt forebygge og behandle de enkelte kræftsygdommes senfølger. Som den første af sin art herhjemme præsenterer Kræft – senfølger og rehabilitering den viden, vi har på området. Kapitel for kapitel undersøges sammenhængen mellem en kræftsygdom og livet, efter at behandlingen er afsluttet. Hvordan hjælpes den enkelte bedst videre? Hvilken viden og erfaringer om kræftsygdom og senfølger skal i højere grad medtænkes af læger, sygeplejersker, fysioterapeuter og de øvrige sundhedsprofessionelle, der til hverdag har ansvaret for at behandle de næsten 40.000 danskere, der hvert år for første gang får stillet diagnosen kræft? I bogens første del beskriver en række kræftlæger de store kræftsygdomme. De formidler på baggrund af mange års erfaring med behandling og peger på senfølgerne af de forskellige sygdomme. I bogens anden del formidler en række eksperter inden for forskellige områder den viden, de har om en eller flere senfølger, og hvordan de kan forebygges og behandles. For eksempel viden om, hvad behandlingen konkret kan betyde for kroppens fysiske funktion, for den psykiske tilstand og for det sociale liv. Men også for parforhold, seksualliv og arbejde. I tredje del beskrives fire eksempler på rehabiliteringsforløb, sådan som de forløber i praksis­ – fire øjebliksbilleder fra rehabiliteringens praktiske virkelighed. Kræft – senfølger og rehabilitering henvender sig til sundhedsprofessionelle, der i deres daglige arbejde har fokus på rehabilitering af mennesker med en kræftsygdom, det være sig sygeplejersker, fysioterapeuter, ergoterapeuter og læger. Bogen kan desuden læses af de mange patienter og deres pårørende, som søger en autoritativ kilde, der kan beskrive og oplyse om senfølger og rehabilitering.
