＜p＞Award-winning nature writer Jack Turner directs his attention to one of America's greatest natural treasures: the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Comprised of two national parks, three national wildlife refuges, parts of six national forests, and eleven wilderness areas, Greater Yellowstone is a vast array of differing environments and geographies.＜br /＞ In a series of essays, Turner explores this wonderland, venturing on twelve separate trips in all seasons using various modes of travel: hiking, climbing, skiing, canoeing lakes, floating rivers, and driving his way across the landscape. He treks down the Teton Range, picks up the Oregon Trail in the Red Desert, and floats the South Fork of the Snake River. Along the way he encounters a variety of wildlife: moose, elk, trout, and wolves. From the treacherous mountains in the dead of winter, to lush river valleys in the height of fishing season, his words and steps trace one of the most American of experiences---exploring the West.＜br /＞ Turner, who has lived in Grand Teton for three decades, designates Greater Yellowstone as ground zero for the country's conflict between preservation and development. At a time when the battle to preserve a wild and natural environment is relentless, his accounts of the areas conflicts with alien species, logging, real estate, oil, and gas development are alarming.＜br /＞ A mixture of adventure, nostalgia, and Americana, Turner's rare experiences and evocative writing transform the sights and sounds of Greater Yellowstone into an intimate narrative of travel through America's most beloved lands.＜br /＞ Praise for ＜em＞Teewinot＜/em＞:＜br /＞ "Bursting with a sense of place...a rewarding reading experience replete with ravishing observations of nature."＜br /＞ - ＜em＞Publishers Weekly＜/em＞＜br /＞ "...a measured luxuriance in the landscape, a love song to the natural history of a place...Turner's writing is muscular, never swaggering, and almost lyrical, summoning a Teton Range in its rightful, sublime austerity."＜br /＞ - ＜em＞Kirkus Reviews＜/em＞＜br /＞ " ＜em＞Teewinot＜/em＞ is a rare book. The wonderful accounts of mountaineering serve as armature not only for Turner's meditative reverence for the Grand Tetons and his often evocative prose but also for an uncommon density of knowledge of place..."＜br /＞ - Peter Matthiessen, author of ＜em＞Tigers in the Snow＜/em＞＜br /＞ "This is, simply stated, a wonderful and utterly engaging book."＜br /＞ - Jim Harrison, author of ＜em＞Dalva＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Road Home＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Each place must find its muse.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Healing We Never Spoke Of: Therapy【電子書籍】[ Branny Mthelebofu ]

＜p＞For professionals, the book acts as a guide for culturally informed therapy, drawing on the works of Freud, Jung, Ferenczi, and integrating film, art, and novel-writing as tools to engage patients creatively. It challenges therapists to listen with cultural humility and emotional curiosity, not clinical distance. What if your sadness isn't just yoursーwhat if it's inherited silence? In the heart of South Africa's villages, and beyond, people carry unspoken burdensーgrief that was never named, love that was never returned, questions that were never asked. This is not just a story about therapyーit is a journey into forgotten feelings, buried memories, and the cultural silence that keeps so many from seeking help. It speaks to the widows who never cried, the men who confuse control for love, and the children who inherited pain before they learned to speak. Blending narrative storytelling, psychoanalysis, traditional wisdom, and prayer, this book is a bridge between the modern therapist's couch and the rural fire hearth. Whether you believe in dreams, ancestors, or dialogueーthis book invites you to see healing not as betrayal of culture, but as a return to wholeness. Therapy is not introduced as a Western import, but as a tool that can be adapted to fit the language, rhythm, and values of village life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Healing Ground Journey Through Chronic Illness【電子書籍】[ Dr. Carly Hudson, D.C. ]

＜p＞After a childhood of compensating for a laundry list of invisible disabilities, Carly Hudson finds herself at the precipice of suicidal depression and a choice to make about her future and her health. Upon pulling herself back from the edge of destruction, Carly finds herself fueled with a desire to continue on the path of wellness and to heal herself. This determined young woman at the brink of adulthood reckons with the opposing forces of chronic frustration within her own body and the possibility of learning her way to wellness with the loving support of family, friends, doctors, and healers. Carly Hudson's life began with a heroic rescue from death's door. A case of bacterial meningitis threatened to suffocate and destroy her brain and spinal cord as an infant. Carly defied the odds and escaped with her life; but this near-fatal illness resulted in a traumatic brain injury and the physical, mental, and spiritual damage that snowballed year upon year. Though told repeatedly by the medical community that her debilitating ailments of hearing loss, movement disorders, chronic pain, and mental impairment were incurable limitations on her life, Carly became relentless in her quest to break the barriers set out for her life. The boundaries placed around her, ignited her curiosity to understand not just the body but the human condition. Family values surrounding personal responsibility for one's health are the unexpected foundation of what is ultimately an intergenerational story and struggle. Carly is helped along the way by the unconventional support and wisdom of her father, who wrestles with his own recovery from opioid addiction; adding a spiritual and emotional depth to the body's recovery. In poignant, parallel journeys, Carly and her father experience both the trauma of relapse and the triumph of wisdom gained in the pursuit of well-being. Amid a demanding doctoral program, Carly comes to terms with failing physical and cognitive control. Previously mild movement disorders take hold and leave half her body nearly unresponsive and useless in the tasks necessary to complete her training. As her brain struggles with the ever-present damage from her childhood illness Carly confronts the prospect of dashed dreams and a life out of her control. Requiring a leap of faith, Carly ultimately places all her hopes for recovery in the hands of one doctor trained in the little-known discipline of Functional Neurology. Having found success in healing her mind and body, the now young doctor and new mother faces one more undertaking of recovery; learning to embody and recognize the person she has become. Reconciling old injuries against the new demands of motherhood, Carly dives once more into the work of healing. What emerges is a person so foreign and new, with hope and possibility that Carly ceases to recognize her own reflection. She must great herself as a stranger and learn to love herself more dearly than she ever had before. Carly's story paints a nuanced and compassionate picture of how a life defined by disease and its debilitating aftermath becomes death by a thousand papercuts. And how that morbid existence can be transformed with the courage to question medical authority, the discipline to engage in rehabilitation, and a range of healthy practices, and the vulnerability to seek help from family, friends, and healers both traditional and unconventional. From her fraught infancy to her successful career and experience as a young mother, Carly brings the reader along on a journey to learn wellness and a personal reckoning of what makes life worth living. Unheard blends Carly's story with short sidebars on clinical and historical matters?shining light on questions of "what is left when conventional wisdom is no longer deemed wise." Carly's vulnerable and provocative writing invites us all to ask what we are willing to do to find the key to our own happiness. Especially, when that requires straying from the beaten path of＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Firsthand accounts of COVID-19’s devastating effects on working-class communities of color＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The first months of the COVID-19 pandemic were filled with talk of heroes, the frontline workers who kept the country functioning. “And when they write those history books, the heroes of the battle will be the hardworking families of New York,” Governor Andrew Cuomo trumpeted on Labor Day 2020. But what if those heroes, those essential workers and their families, wrote the book themselves?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Until We’re Seen＜/em＞, the heroes write their own stories. Through firsthand accounts by college students at Brooklyn College and California State University Los Angeles, ＜em＞Until We’re Seen＜/em＞ chronicles COVID-19’s devastating, disproportionate effects on working-class communities of color, even as the United States has declared the pandemic over and looks away from its impacts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Very few of these students and their families had the luxury of laboring from home; if they were able to keep their jobs, they took subways and buses, and they worked. They drove delivery trucks, worked in private homes, cooked food in restaurants for people to pick up, worked as EMTs, and did construction. They couldn’t escape to second homes; if anything, more people moved in, as families were forced to consolidate to save money. Together, the accounts in this book show that the COVID-19 pandemic ＜em＞did＜/em＞ discriminate, following the race and class fissures endemic to US society. But if these are tales of hardship, they are also love storiesーof students’ families, biological and chosenーand of the deep resolve, mundane carework, and herculean efforts such love entails.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Recounting 2020?2022 through the experiences of predominantly young, working-class immigrants and people of color living in the first two major US COVID-19 epicenters, ＜em＞Until We’re Seen＜/em＞ spotlights previously untold stories of the pandemic in New York, Los Angeles, and the nation as a whole.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞My name is Mary Magdalene Collins, and I am the wife of Terrance Collins Jr. and mother to three amazing little humans, Kamden, Kennedi, and Kace. These four are my reasons to fight. Ask yourself, What is your reason to fight for your life? Once you find the will to get into battle, coming out a winner is not an option. Please do not feel as if I still do not have my good days and bad, because I do (but not as bad). This is a life journey, and yes, I say that I am free. But just as easy as it was for me to heal, I can easily have a setback. Please keep up on your labs, check in with your doctors, make sure you are making good eating choices, and do not try to do it alone. You cannot make it alone (I had to learn this); you need somebody (positive people), and most importantly, you need God. If you do not believe in God, or whomever you believe in, or whatever your spiritual path may be, you need a higher being to get you through this. It is easy to fall, and so I pray that we all succeed. If you do not have anyone to talk to and would like someone who listens, please email me at Mjcollins.Marriedtolupus@gmail.com. I love you all. We got this!＜/p＞ ＜p＞When I need to get ready for battle, this is where I go: read Ephesians 6:10-13.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Remain faithful to God and he will remain faithful to you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Be blessed.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Maverick environmental writers William J. Kelly and Chip Jacobs follow up their acclaimed ＜em＞Smogtown＜/em＞ with a provocative examination of China’s ecological calamity already imperling a warming planet. Toxic smog most people figured was obsolete needlessly kills as many there as the 9/11 attacks every day, while sometimes Grand Canyon-sized drifts of industrial particles aloft on the winds rain down ozone and waterway-poisoning mercury in America. In vivid, gonzo prose blending first-person reportage with exhaustive research and a sense of karma, Kelly and Jacobs describe China’s ancient love affair with coal, Bill Clinton’s blunders cutting free-trade deals enabling the U.S. to "export" manufacturing emissions to Asia in a shift that pilloried the West's middle class, Communist Party manipulation of eco-statistics, the horror of "Cancer Villages," the deception of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and spellbinding peasant revolts” against cancer-spreading plants involving thousands in mostly censored melees. Ending with China’s monumental coal-bases decried by climatologists as a global warming dagger, ＜em＞The People's Republic of Chemicals＜/em＞ names names and stresses humans over bloodless numbers in a classic sure to ruffle feathers as an indictment of money as the real green that not even Al Gore can deny.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Educating for Sexual Virtue A Moral Vision for Relationships and Sex Education【電子書籍】[ Olwyn E. Mark ]

＜p＞Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) is an issue surrounded by controversy and debate, with important implications for the interconnected roles of the state, the school and the home and for the way we understand ourselves, our sexual identity and our personal relationships.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book charts the development of the moral and spiritual narrative in RSE policy in England. In particular, it expounds and critiques the popular moral narrative of ≪informed choice≫: an approach which advocates providing young people with the maximum amount of information around their sexual choices and defends a view of sexual morality which holds that anything goes, as long as it is in private, between consenting adults and harms no-one else.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alongside a comprehensive critique of this narrative, the book offers a unique contribution to the ongoing development of the moral and spiritual framework of RSE by presenting a Christian vision of a sexually and relationally educated young person. In particular, this enriched vision explores the cultivation of the virtues of Christian love and chastity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The findings presented here are highly significant for anyone concerned with developing and delivering RSE within a robust moral framework.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞In＜/strong＞ ＜em＞＜strong＞The Eye of the Sandpiper＜/strong＞＜/em＞**, Brandon Keim pairs cutting-edge science with a deep love of nature, conveying his insights in prose that is both accessible and beautiful.** In an elegant, thoughtful tour of nature in the twenty-first century, Keim continues in the tradition of Lewis Thomas, Stephen Jay Gould, and David Quammen, reporting from the frontiers of science while celebrating the natural world's wonders and posing new questions about our relationship to the rest of life on Earth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The stories in ＜em＞The Eye of the Sandpiper＜/em＞ are arranged in four thematic sections. Each addresses nature through a different lens. The first is evolutionary and ecological dynamics, from how patterns form on butterfly wings to the ecological importance of oft-reviled lampreys. The second section explores the inner lives of animals, which science has only recently embraced: empathy in rats, emotions in honeybees, spirituality in chimpanzees. The third section contains stories of people acting on insights both ecological and ethological: nourishing blighted rivers, but also caring for injured pigeons at a hospital for wild birds and demanding legal rights for primates. The fourth section unites ecology and ethology in discussions of ethics: how we should think about and behave toward nature, and the place of wildness in a world in which space for wilderness is shrinking.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By appreciating the nonhuman world more fully, Keim writes, "I hope people will also act in ways that nourish rather than impoverish its lifeーwhich is, ultimately, the problem that needs to be solved at this Anthropocene moment, with a sixth mass extinction looming, once-common animals becoming rare, and Earth straining to support 7.5 billion people. The solution will come from a love of nature rather than chastisement or lamentation."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The authors reflect on love, loss, and family, engaging a broad array of emotions, from wonder to amusement. As Rob Nixon writes, "Sometimes the best bird experiences are defined less by a rare sighting than by a quality of presence, some sense of overall occasion that sets in motion memories of a particular landscape, a particular light, a particular choral effect, a particular hiking partner." Or, as the poet Elizabeth Bradfield remarks, "We resonate with certain animals, I believe, because they are a physical embodiment of an answer we are seeking. A sense of ourselves in the world that is nearly inexpressible."＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞When Birds Are Near＜/em＞ gives us the chance to walk alongside these avid appreciators of birds and reflect on our own interactions with our winged companions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Contributors: Christina Baal, Thomas Bancroft, K.

＜p＞Science fiction is the playground of the imagination. If you are interested in science or fascinated with the future then science fiction is where you explore new ideas and let your dreams and nightmares duke it out on the safety of the page or screen. But what if we could use science fiction to do more than that? What if we could use science fiction based on science fact to not only imagine our future but develop new technologies and products? What if we could use stories, movies and comics as a kind of tool to explore the real world implications and uses of future technologies today? Science Fiction Prototyping is a practical guide to using fiction as a way to imagine our future in a whole new way. Filled with history, real world examples and conversations with experts like best selling science fiction author Cory Doctorow, senior editor at Dark Horse Comics Chris Warner and Hollywood science expert Sidney Perkowitz, Science Fiction Prototyping will give you the tools you need to begin designing the future with science fiction. The future is Brian David Johnson’s business. As a futurist at Intel Corporation, his charter is to develop an actionable vision for computing in 2021. His work is called “future casting”ーusing ethnographic field studies, technology research, trend data, and even science fiction to create a pragmatic vision of consumers and computing. Johnson has been pioneering development in artificial intelligence, robotics, and reinventing TV. He speaks and writes extensively about future technologies in articles and scientific papers as well as science fiction short stories and novels (Fake Plastic Love and Screen Future: The Future of Entertainment, Computing and the Devices We Love). He has directed two feature films and is an illustrator and commissioned painter. Table of Contents: Preface / Foreword / Epilogue / Dedication / Acknowledgments / 1. The Future Is in Your Hands / 2.
