Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability

Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability

It’s widely accepted that our environment is in crisis. Less widely recognized is that three quarters of environmental damage is due to cities – the places where most of us live. As this powerful new book elucidates global sustainability is therefore directly dependent on urban design. In Living Architecture Living Cities Christopher Day and Julie Gwilliam move beyond the current emphasis on technological change. They argue that eco-technology allows us to continue broadly as before and only defers the impending disaster. In reality most negative environmental impacts are due to how we live and the things we buy. Such personal choices often result from dissatisfaction with our surroundings. As perceived environment has a direct effect on attitudes and motivations improving this can achieve more sustainable lifestyles more effectively than drastic building change – with its notorious performance-gap limitations. As it’s in places that our inner feelings and material reality interact perceived environment is place-based. Ultimately however as the root cause of unsustainability is attitude real change requires moving from the current focus on buildings and technology to an emphasis on the non-material. Featuring over 400 high quality illustrations this is essential reading for anyone who believes in the value and power of good design. Christopher Day’s philosophy will continue to inspire students with an interest in sustainable architecture urban planning and related fields. | Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability

The Art of Living Foundation Spirituality and Wellbeing in the Global Context

The Art of Living Foundation Spirituality and Wellbeing in the Global Context

The Hindu-derived meditation movement The Art of Living (AOL) founded in 1981 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Bangalore has grown into a global organization which claims presence in more than 150 countries. Stephen Jacobs presents the first comprehensive study of AOL as an important transnational movement and an alternative global spirituality. Exploring the nature and characteristics of spirituality in the contemporary global context Jacobs considers whether alternative spiritualities are primarily concerned with individual wellbeing and can simply be regarded as another consumer product. The book concludes that involvement in movements such as AOL is not necessarily narcissistic but can foster a sense of community and inspire altruistic activity. | The Art of Living Foundation Spirituality and Wellbeing in the Global Context

Practising Immanence Living with Theory and Environmental Education

Practising Immanence Living with Theory and Environmental Education

Practising Immanence: Living with Theory and Environmental Education makes creative contributions to both qualitative inquiry and environmental education by exploring how each of these ideas seep and fuse into one another creating a space where methodology becomes pedagogy and where each of these is already always environmental: indivisible with life. Clarke’s energising and innovative approach offers a challenge to conventional research practices and shows ways in which inquiry can be done differently. Drawing on new materialisms affect theory and the practical philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari the book details the PhD journey of the author merging stories and theory (and stories of theory) in the production of eight ‘haecceities’ – a philosophical concept which prioritises the thisness of a thing or event. This move allows a novel methodological approach whereby the haecceities act as sites of variation on the events of the book: the self as unstable and posthuman; the environment as everything (immanent) rather than as an overly romantic or a green version of nature; and the tensions that these moves create for ethical orientations in education inquiry and life in the Anthropocene. Practising Immanence brings theory to life through a diffractively critical style and a unique approach to environmental pedagogic practice. This radical and vitalising book will be of interest to those inspired to explore environmental problems and inquiry with each other and to those drawn to creative-relational narrative embodied and post-qualitative approaches to research. | Practising Immanence Living with Theory and Environmental Education

Systems-Centered Training An Illustrated Guide for Applying a Theory of Living Human Systems

Systems-Centered Training An Illustrated Guide for Applying a Theory of Living Human Systems

This illustrated book shows how thinking systems offer new ways of seeing people which can help us see and do things differently. The authors describe how a theory of living human systems was developed and even recently revised. This major revision led to a theory of the person-as-a-system and its role-systems map that helps us see which system in us and in others is running the show. The authors illustrate how life force energy fuels the hierarchy of living human systems and how theory and practice with role-systems can be useful in everyday life. They begin with describing how they have used the new illustrations as a map to locate the contexts of our roles. Using this map has also enabled the authors to identify the role-systems and explore the territory of ourselves and our groups in new ways that deepened our understanding of roles and role locks. This book illustrates systems-centered therapy and training (SCT) theory by offering a practical theory to guide group psychotherapists leaders and consultants in working with group dynamics. | Systems-Centered Training An Illustrated Guide for Applying a Theory of Living Human Systems

The Vitality of Karamojong Religion Dying Tradition or Living Faith?

The Vitality of Karamojong Religion Dying Tradition or Living Faith?

How long can a traditional religion survive the impact of world religions state hegemony and globalization? The ’Karamoja problem’ is one that has perplexed colonial and independent governments alike. Now Karamojong notoriety for armed cattle raiding has attracted the attention of the UN and USAID since the proliferation of small arms in the pastoralist belt across Africa from Sudan to stateless Somalia is deemed a threat to world security. The consequences are ethnocidal but what makes African peoples stand out against state and global governance? The traditional African religion of the Karamojong despite the multiple external influences of the twentieth century and earlier has remained at the heart of their culture as it has changed through time. Drawing on oral accounts and the language itself as well as his extensive experience of living and working in the region Knighton avoids Western perspectivism to highlight the successful reassertion of African beliefs and values over repeated attempts by interventionists to replace or subvert them. Knighton argues that the religious aspect of Karamojong culture with its persistent faith dimension is one of the key factors that have enabled them to maintain their amazing degree of religious political and military autonomy in the postmodern world. Using historical and anthropological approaches the real continuities within the culture and the reasons for mysterious vitality of Karamojong religion are explored. | The Vitality of Karamojong Religion Dying Tradition or Living Faith?
