Bodily Natures by Stacy Alaimo Pdf

How do we understand the agency and significance of material forces and their interface with human bodies? What does it mean to be human in these times, with bodies that are inextricably interconnected with our physical world? Bodily Natures considers these questions by grappling with powerful and pervasive material forces and their increasingly harmful effects on the human body. Drawing on feminist theory, environmental studies, and the sciences, Stacy Alaimo focuses on trans-corporeality, or movement across bodies and nature, which has profoundly altered our sense of self. By looking at a broad range of creative and philosophical writings, Alaimo illuminates how science, politics, and culture collide, while considering the closeness of the human body to the environment.

Wellbeing and Self-Transformation in Natural Landscapes by Rebecca Crowther Pdf

This book explores how natural landscapes are linked to positive mental wellbeing. While natural landscapes have long been represented and portrayed as transformative, the link to mental wellbeing is an area that researchers are still aiming to comprehend. Accompanying five groups of people to rural Scotland, the author considers individual, external and group motivations for journeying from urban environments, examining in what ways these excursions are personally and socially transformative. Far more than traversing mere physical boundaries, this book illustrates the new challenges, experiences, territories and cultures provided by these excursions, firmly anchored in the Scottish countryside. In doing so, the author questions the extent to which people’s own narratives link to the perception that the outdoors are positively transformative – and what indeed does have the power to influence transformation. Grounded in extensive qualitative research, this contemplative and ethnographic book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of the outdoors and its connection to wellbeing.

How Nature Works by Per Bak Pdf

Self-organized criticality, the spontaneous development of systems to a critical state, is the first general theory of complex systems with a firm mathematical basis. This theory describes how many seemingly desperate aspects of the world, from stock market crashes to mass extinctions, avalanches to solar flares, all share a set of simple, easily described properties. "...a'must read'...Bak writes with such ease and lucidity, and his ideas are so intriguing...essential reading for those interested in complex systems...it will reward a sufficiently skeptical reader." -NATURE "...presents the theory (self-organized criticality) in a form easily absorbed by the non-mathematically inclined reader." -BOSTON BOOK REVIEW "I picture Bak as a kind of scientific musketeer; flamboyant, touchy, full of swagger and ready to join every fray... His book is written with panache. The style is brisk, the content stimulating. I recommend it as a bracing experience." -NEW SCIENTIST

The Nature of the Self by Paul Cobben Pdf

In the contemporary (practical) philosophy, recognition is one of the central concepts. Humans are thematized as individuals who recognize one another as moral and legal persons. The central problem of the globalized, multicultural societies is how to harmonize the legal persons (who are free and equal) with moral persons (who may have their unique identity). In The Nature of the Self the thesis is elaborated that, in the contemporary discussion, a central dimension of recognition is lacking. All forms of moral and legal recognition presuppose the recognition at a more fundamental level: the recognition of the body by the mind. The systematic development of this relation can be performed with the help of a critical reconstruction of Hegel 's project in the Phenomenology of Spirit and the Philosophy of Right. This reconstruction results in a differentiated concept of the self: in three forms of the self (corresponding with three forms of recognition) and their institutional embodiment. This concept of the self not only competes with the position of J rgen Habermas and Axel Honneth (as it is explicitly elaborated), but also with the one of John Rawls.

L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) by Rita Bode,Jean Mitchell Pdf

L.M. Montgomery's writings are replete with enchanting yet subtle and fluid depictions of nature that convey her intense appreciation for the natural world. At a time of ecological crises, intensifying environmental anxiety, and burgeoning eco-critical perspectives, L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) repositions the Canadian author's relationship to nature in terms of current environmental criticism across several disciplines, introducing a fresh approach to her life and work. Drawing on a wide range of Montgomery's novels as well as her journals, this collection suggests that socio-ecological relationships encompass ideas of reciprocity, affiliation, autonomy, and the capacity for transformation in both the human and more-than-human worlds, and that these ideas are integral to Montgomery's vision and her literary legacy. Framed by the twin themes of materiality and interrelationships, essays by scholars of literature, law, animal studies, anthropology, and ecology examine place, embodiment, and difference in Montgomery's works and embrace the multiplicities embedded in the concept of nature. Through innovative critical approaches, L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) opens up conversations about humans' interactions with nature and the material environment.

The Laws of Nature for a Better Self by Christopher Walker Pdf

The Laws of Nature have been derived from ancient texts dating back thousands of years. They help to explain human behaviour by linking personal character with the 5 elements of nature. Now, these elements have been studied and interpreted to help you become a better you. A straight talking, honest application of the learning’s of millennia, to the personal issues of today. Through the application of these techniques, you will achieve “Stillness”, a state of mind in which time stops, you feel absolutely at one with whatever you are doing. A moment of pure inspiration and for the athlete, the leader, the entrepreneur or the artist, they are moments of absolute perfection. For most people this inspired state of mind is an accident, but by using the laws of nature you can achieve this deliberately. With these techniques, you’ll feel more centred, balanced and calm. Your health will improve because there will be an obvious reduction in stress levels, anxiety and uncertainty. The skills are already within you; they are natural, ancient and as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. Positive personal change through higher consciousness: a richer, more rewarding quality of life.

The Nature of Self-Love by Laura Coe Pdf

There are two realities. The reality of living our soul's calling, and the reality of being human.??Being human is hard, filled with ego, trivial problems, and plagued by emotional and cultural ideas that lead us astray from our eternal selves.??Living our soul's calling makes us feel alive, fully ourselves, and gives us the ability to heal, to grow, and to be who we were meant to be.??The Nature of Series is written from the Akashic Records-an energetic space that holds our soul's histories-and is designed to help us navigate the realities of being human, all while getting us back to what our soul is meant to be doing in this life.??Each book in this series sheds light on a topic that-when we get in right relation to it-changes the trajectory of our lives. Before, it was hard to understand. But now, with the Records, we can.??This book is about self-love.

The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene Pdf

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around you Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.
