When the Moon Set Over Haifa by Angelina Diliberto Allen Pdf

"On November 28, 1921, the head of the Bahá'í Faith, 'Abdu'l-Bahá, passed away. For Bahá'ís, 'Abdu'l-Bahá was more than the leader of their religion. Shoghi Effendi wrote that 'Abdu'l-Bahá was "the Moon of the Central Orb of this most holy Dispensation" (Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, p. 134). The night of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's ascension was a night of the waning moon, which illustrates the profound darkness that was felt by those who were present at the time of the passing of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. The darkness would be only temporary, for the passing of 'Abdu'l-Bahá marked the dramatic opening of the Formative Age, a period in the history of humanity that will witness the unfoldment of a religious cycle that will last half a million years (Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, pp. 101-102). There were six Western believers in Haifa on the night of the ascension of 'Abdu'l-Bahá: Mr. John Bosch and Mrs. Louise Stapfer Bosch from Geyserville, California; Dr. Florian Krug and Mrs. Grace Krug from New York, and Fraulein Johanna Hauff from Stuttgart. All of them were there as pilgrims. The only other Western believer present in Haifa was Mr. Curtis Kelsey from New York, who was in Haifa to install electrical power plants to light the shrines of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. This book tells the story of these believers, how they became Bahá'ís, the circumstances that led them to Haifa, and how their experience at the time of the ascension of 'Abdu'l-Bahá shaped their path of service to the Cause of God. The intent is to give the reader the feeling of being in the holy land, one hundred years ago, when the moon of 'Abdu'l-Bahá set over Haifa"--

Stranger to the Moon by Evelio Rosero Pdf

A chilling allegorical novella by the masterful Colombian writer who poses timeless questions about violence and subjugation, power and freedom. Imagining the darkest of power imbalances in a dystopian world, in which the most vulnerable are held captive and wherein survival depends on the ability to remain anonymous, identity is a threat. Those who have everything would revel in the humiliation of others and identification brings with it the ultimate punishment. When hiding is no longer possible, the only choice may be to rebel. More frightening than the dystopia of Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and with elements of the surreal to rival Kafka's Metamorphosis, Rosero's hypnotic tale builds in tension to deliver a crippling emotional punch.

American Trip by Ido Hartogsohn Pdf

How historical, social, and cultural forces shaped the psychedelic experience in midcentury America, from CIA experiments with LSD to Timothy Leary's Harvard Psilocybin Project. Are psychedelics invaluable therapeutic medicines, or dangerously unpredictable drugs that precipitate psychosis? Tools for spiritual communion or cognitive enhancers that spark innovation? Activators for one's private muse or part of a political movement? In the 1950s and 1960s, researchers studied psychedelics in all these incarnations, often arriving at contradictory results. In American Trip, Ido Hartogsohn examines how the psychedelic experience in midcentury America was shaped by historical, social, and cultural forces--by set (the mindset of the user) and setting (the environments in which the experience takes place).

Dance Spreads Its Wings by Ruth Eshel Pdf

Why did dance and dancing became important to the construction of a new, modern, Jewish/Israeli cultural identity in the newly formed nation of Israel? There were questions that covered almost all spheres of daily life, including “What do we dance?” because Hebrew or Eretz-Israeli dance had to be created out of none. How and why did dance develop in such a way? Dance Spreads Its Wings is the first and only book that looks at the whole picture of concert dance in Israel studying the growth of Israeli concert dance for 90 years—starting from 1920, when there was no concert dance to speak of during the Yishuv (pre-Israel Jewish settlements) period, until 2010, when concert dance in Israel had grown to become one of the country’s most prominent, original, artistic fields and globally recognized. What drives the book is the impulse to create and the need to dance in the midst of constant political change. It is the story of artists trying to be true to their art while also responding to the political, social, religious, and ethnic complexities of a Jewish state in the Middle East.
