DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of the Spokane Prize for Short Fiction In this new, expanded edition of her prize-winning collection, which includes a reading group guide, Midge Raymond stretches the boundaries of place as she explores the indelible imprint of home upon the self and the ways in which new frontiers both defy and confirm who we are. The characters who inhabit these stories travel for business or for pleasure, sometimes out of duty and sometimes in search of freedom, and each encounters the unexpected. From a biologist navigating the stark, icy moonscape of Antarctica to a businesswoman seeking refuge in the lonely islands of the South Pacific, the characters in these stories abandon their native landscapes—only to find that, once separated from the ordinary, they must confront new interpretations of whom they really are, and who they’re meant to be.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe guiding inspiration of this book is the attraction and distance that mark the relation between anthropology and philosophy. This theme is explored through encounters between individual anthropologists and particular regions of philosophy. Several of the most basic concepts of the discipline—including notions of ethics, politics, temporality, self and other, and the nature of human life—are products of a dialogue, both implicit and explicit, between anthropology and philosophy. These philosophical undercurrents in anthropology also speak to the question of what it is to experience our being in a world marked by radical difference and otherness. In The Ground Between, twelve leading anthropologists offer intimate reflections on the influence of particular philosophers on their way of seeing the world, and on what ethnography has taught them about philosophy. Ethnographies of the mundane and the everyday raise fundamental issues that the contributors grapple with in both their lives and their thinking. With directness and honesty, they relate particular philosophers to matters such as how to respond to the suffering of the other, how concepts arise in the give and take of everyday life, and how to be attuned to the world through the senses. Their essays challenge the idea that philosophy is solely the province of professional philosophers, and suggest that certain modalities of being in the world might be construed as ways of doing philosophy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdam Humbley, the oldest of six sons, reminisces about his large family from the day their cleaning lady/nanny arrived at their home. Adam had a special place in the family room, which he named My Eavesdrop Station. There he pretended to read, but instead listened to private conversations, never missing anything juicy. When Adam's mother interviewed the lady who applied for the job, she asked the nanny, Aren't you too old to clean the house and mind six children? From the beginning, she told the boys to call her Granny Pat, and they instantly fell in love with her. After the tragic death of the boys' aunt and uncle, their four girl cousins came to live with them, causing them to move from an upscale waterfront home to a tumbledown country house. Granny Pat moves in and becomes their surrogate grandmother, transforming their lives. Over the next 28 years, this novel covers the good times and the bad. All the children's experiences weave together to form a lasting bond that holds this large family together. My Eavesdrop Station is a special story about a special family. Author PR Roberts was born and educated in South Africa, where she wrote children's stories and nursery rhymes for magazines. With the demands of a large family, writing was put aside for many years. After being widowed, she took up residence in Australia and resumed writing. Other titles include Bury the Ghost and Mystery Celebration.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow can we, in our times, understand the biblical concept that human beings have been created in the image of an invisible God? This is a perennial but increasingly pressing question that lies at the heart of theological anthropology. Humanity in God's Image: An Interdisciplinary Exploration clarifies the meaning of this concept, traces different Jewish and Christian interpretations of being created in God's image, and reconsiders the significance of the imago Dei in a post-Holocaust context. As normative, counter-factual notions, human dignity and the imago Dei challenge us to see more. Claudia Welz offers an interdisciplinary exploration of theological and ethical 'visions' of the invisible. By analysing poetry and art, Welz exemplifies human self-understanding in the interface between the visual and the linguistic. The content of the imago Dei cannot be defined apart from the image carrier: an embodied creature. Compared to verbal, visual, and mental images, how does this creature as a 'living image' refer to God--like a metaphor, a mimetic mirror, or an elusive trace? Combining hermeneutical and phenomenological perspectives with philosophy of religion and philosophy of language, semiotics, art history, and literary studies, Welz regards the imago Dei as a complex sign that is at once iconic, indexical, and symbolical--pointing beyond itself.
