Hinges - Grace Mazur - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Grace Dane Mazur uses the idea of the hinge to illuminate real and metaphysical thresholds in fiction, poetry, myth, and ordinary life. From ancient narratives of Gilgamesh, Odysseus, Parmenides, and Orpheus, to modern works by Katherine Mansfield and Eudora Welty, the exploration of the Other World acts as a metaphor for the entrancement of reading and writing. Looking at Lascaux, Renaissance and Byzantine images of Christ harrowing Hell, Rubens, Vermeer, and others Mazur contemplates writing, attention, Hades, the gates of Hell, trap doors, demons, love, the human body, forbidden looking, Virgil, Ovid, Nicodemus, Nighttown, and the melancholy of twilight.

Meet Your Body - Noah Karrasch - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Meet Your Body - Noah Karrasch - Bog - Jessica Kingsley Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Many of us hold on to old fears, traumas and stresses and allow them to define and frame our lives. This book shows how to relieve these problems and help you look and feel better on a profound level. Based on the idea that the body is composed of twenty-one important hinges, Meet Your Body shows how we can ''oil'' and free these hinges, stretching the body out so we can feel healthy and happy more of the time.Noah''s therapeutic work uses a hands-on manipulation of the body''s connective tissue designed to enhance posture and freedom of movement. From this theory of structural integration, Karrasch has developed a focus on the inseparable connection between our minds and our bodies, our bodymindcore. Guiding the reader through the various hinges of the body, from the big toe to the hip to the head, the author shows how learning to isolate and stretch these hinges in new ways can lead to a happy bodymindcore, making a great difference to overall health and wellbeing. Each chapter addresses a particular hinge physically as well as sharing ideas about its emotional component, and includes photographs and drawings illustrating a variety of bodymindcore techniques. This book offers people with both ordinary and extraordinary body challenges new ideas for how they can make changes in the way their bodies work for them. A practical guide to releasing bodymindcore trauma, Meet Your Body challenges us all to get in touch with and listen to our bodies to improve our health and overall happiness.

The Hinge - Gary Alan Fine - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

The Hinge - Gary Alan Fine - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

Most of the time, we believe our daily lives to be governed by structures determined from above: laws that dictate our behavior, companies that pay our wages, even climate patterns that determine what we eat or where we live. In contrast, social organization is often a feature of local organization. While those forces may seem beyond individual grasp, we often come together in small communities to change circumstances that would otherwise flatten us. Challenging traditional sociological models of powerful forces, in The Hinge, Gary Alan Fine emphasizes and describes those meso-level collectives, the organizations that bridge our individual interests and the larger structures that shape our lives. Focusing on “tiny publics,” he describes meso-level social collectives as “hinges”: groups that come together to pursue a shared social goal, bridging the individual and the broader society. Understanding these hinges, Fine argues, is crucial to explaining how societies function, creating links between the micro- and macro-orders of society. He draws on historical cases and fieldwork to illustrate how these hinges work and how to describe them. In The Hinge, Fine has given us powerful new theoretical tools for understanding an essential part of our social worlds.

Primary School Geography (1994) - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Primary School Geography (1994) - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Published in 1994, this book is the result of the collaborative work undertaken at the Liverpool-based Geography INSET Primary Project (GIPP) over three years. It presents a series of chapters for primary teachers seeking to implement the Statutory Orders for Geography in the National Curriculum. Steering a middle course between the sophistications of a theoretical/methodological text and the over-simplifications of a ‘tips-for-teachers’ approach, the authors highlight the positive opportunities offered by the National Curriculum. At the same time they are critical of many aspects of the Statutory Orders, without losing sight of their objective to help teachers to improve the quality of primary geography teaching. The book is especially useful for INSET work for teachers who have already grappled with National Curriculum Geography and who will be adjusting to the post-Dearing rearrangements.

Speech and Morality - Terence (university Of Vermont) Cuneo - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Speech and Morality - Terence (university Of Vermont) Cuneo - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Terence Cuneo develops a novel line of argument for moral realism. The argument he defends hinges on the normative theory of speech, according to which speech acts are generated by an agent''s altering her normative position with regard to her audience, gaining rights, responsibilities, and obligations of certain kinds. Some of these rights, responsibilities, and obligations, Cuneo suggests, are moral. And these moral features are best understood along realist lines, in part because they explain how it is that we can speak. If this is right, a necessary condition of being able to speak is that there are moral rights, responsibilities, and obligations of a broadly realist sort.

Situational Theory of Problem Solving - James E. Grunig - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Situational Theory of Problem Solving - James E. Grunig - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book presents the situational theory of problem solving (STOPS). This situational theory describes human problem-solving approaches that people adopt in dealing with almost any kind of life problem. In this book the authors construct and present a theory that hinges on problem and problem-solving approaches. In addition to the theory-building concern, the authors pay attention to the ubiquitous notion of problem solving in human life. They focus their theory on communicative behavior and cognitive strategies purposely adopted to overcome problematic states that one subjectively perceives. Thus, their account focuses on the problem-solver’s perceptive, cognitive and communicative bases, when one encounters a problematic situation.
