Leisure: The Basis of Culture: Including the Philosophical

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pieper, Josef / Dru, Alexander / Schall, James V., PUBLISHER: Ignatius Press, One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Josef Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial, today than it was when it first appeared more than fifty years ago. This edition also includes his work The Philosophical Act. Leisure is an attitude of the mind and a condition of the soul that fosters a capacity to perceive the reality of the world. Pieper shows that the Greeks and medieval Europeans, understood the great value and importance of leisure. He also points out that religion can be born only in leisure -- a leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. Pieper maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for non-activity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture -- and ourselves.

Free Range Christianity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hellier, Graham, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, This book is for those who enjoy the freedom of the open country. It is for those who can feel the wind 'that blows where it wills'. It is for those who are glad to keep company with 'fellow travellers' of every kind. It is not for those fearful of doubt or embarrassed by faith. It is not for those who put their entire trust in Church and Bible rather than in the living God, who has gone before them.............................................................................................................. If there is a God, it's going to be a lot bigger and a whole lot more incomprehensible than any theologian of any religion has ever proposed." - attributed to Richard Dawkins, author of "The God Delusion." If he is unaware, then it is Christians who have failed. We have be-littled God, pinning him between the pages of a black book, confining him behind stone walls and reducing him in our sacraments. It is time to range free again..................................................................................................................................... For information. For reflection. For discussion. Something for everyone, except those who do not wish to be disturbed. The canvas is wide. There are far horizons with quotations drawn from a thousand voices......................................................................................... This is "The Thoughtful Guide to Christianity" fully revised. - "A marvellous compendium" - Dean of Hereford - "A wealth of things to mine here" - Progressive Christian Network - "Especially valuable to teachers" - Donald Hilton - "Makes one want to know more" - Stephen Wright - "Annoying... it is a very good book." - 'The Preacher' - see inside cover.

Diabetes Rising: How a Rare Disease Became a Modern

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hurley, Dan, PUBLISHER: Kaplan Publishing, Written by award-winning investigative journalist Dan Hurley, "Diabetes Rising "is a gripping expose of the quest for a cure for the disease that afflicts hundreds of millions of people around the world. Hurley chronicles today's diabetes epidemic--how the disease has grown so dramatically, why the American Diabetes Association focuses its attention on just a small handful of available treatments, and why the research being done today doesn't look beyond accepted types of treatments. Just as Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation "uncovered the sordid details leading to an epidemic of obesity, Dan Hurley uncovers the hidden truths of what is being researched--and even more importantly, what is not. "Diabetes Rising "explores both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, one of the leading causes of deaths in the United States. With ground-breaking research and compelling stories seen through an investigative, historical, and narrative lens, "Diabetes Rising "couples big-picture insight with intimate reporting. The book yields riveting insight into the struggle between the pervasive malady and the medical community's ongoing search for answers. Informed but not dominated by the author's own experience as a Type 1 diabetic, "Diabetes Rising "grants exclusive access to new studies, innovative treatments, and determined patients. Hurley's sharp, entertaining, and provocative read will change how readers understand diabetes, and the cultures, conditions, and medical climates in which it thrives.

Switzerland: A Guide to Recent Architecture

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hildebrandt, Thomas / Huber, Maja / Huber, Maya, PUBLISHER: Ellipsis Arts, The selection of projects in this guide aims to provide an insight into around 100 projects with access for visitors. Many of the projects are located far from the bustle of cities, making it easy to combine a skiing or hiking holiday with an architectural excursion -- Switzerland has a finely-tuned tourist industry. Those not entirely satisfied by the architecture will have the consolation of the stunning landscapes. The past two decades have seen an extraordinary number of innovative buildings realised by a generation of young Swiss architects. Reacting against the light-hearted and colourful imagery of post-modernism, the fragmentation of deconstructivism, and the accelerating fashion in styles of building, architects are looking towards a more generic architecture, an architecture searching for articulation devoid of predetermined formal meanings -- an architecture without style.

Moschis and his coauthors concentrate on food products, apparel, footwear, drugs and cosmetics, housing, technology products and telecommunications services, health care, travel and leisure, and financial and insurance services. They cover preferences for selected products and services, patronage habits, methods of purchasing, motives for preferences for specific brands and services and for payment methods, and reasons for buying direct. Each chapter addresses a specific product or service category and includes analyses of survey respondents by demographic and lifestyle characteristics and media use habits.
