Albert Steiner. Del paesaggio sublime. Catalogo della mostra (Padova, 29 marzo-18 maggio 2008) (9788871155869)

Questo catalogo presenta l'opera del fotografo svizzero Albert Steiner (1877-1965), ripercorrendo la sua ricerca tra pittura e fotografia, rimembranza e nostalgia, emozioni e sentimenti, vallate e montagne ghiacciate: un paesaggio stupefacente, una montagna magica che sono i veri protagonisti delle immagini di Albert Steiner, forti di singolari analogie con i quadri del pittore del romanticismo tedesco Caspar David Friedrich. La visione steineriana trova quindi nell'aspetto spirituale e contemplativo di Friedrich la propria prima valvola di apertura, ma si connette molto direttamente anche al carattere rappresentativo e documentario di un altro grande artista come il trentino Giovanni Segantini (1858-1899), probabilmente la massima fonte di ispirazione poetica per Steiner. Il fotografo svizzero, riconosciuto solo in tempi recenti come maestro di rilevanza internazionale, si presenta quale "creatore di immagini" autonomo e indipendente, difficilmente assimilabile a co...

The Sinews of the Spirit : The Ideal of Christian Manliness in Victorian Literature and Religious Thought (9780521128605)

This book provides a fresh perspective on nineteenth-century life by examining the nature and context of 'Christian manliness' or 'muscular Christianity', an ideal of conduct that was widely popular with Victorian preachers and writers. It pays particular attention to Charles Kingsley (author of The Water-Babies) and Thomas Hughes (author of Tom Brown's Schooldays). Dr Vance traces the origins of Christian manliness in the traditions of English sporting prowess, in notions of chivalry and gentlemanliness, and in the preaching of vigourous virtue from St Paul to Victorian evangelists. He also considers the social and religious thought of Coleridge, Carlyle, F. D. Maurice and Thomas Arnold, showing how Kingsley and Hughes developed their own ideals of Christian manliness against this background, and in keen response to the troubles of their time: social unrest, religious rancour, war and disease. A final chapter traces the fragmentation and debasement of the ideal...

Teaching Defiance : Stories and Strategies for Activist Educators (9781119137191)

Michael Newman-a two-time winner of the Cyril O. Houle Award for Outstanding Literature in Adult Education-examines the use of rational discourse, nonrational discourse, and storytelling to bring about personal and collective change. Using a powerful blend of theoretical discussion and step-by-step accounts of practice, Newman returns to what actually happens in that magical encounter between teacher and learner. He examines the educational use of emotions such as frustration, dismay, anger, hatred and love. He proposes ways of teaching and learning insight. He examines how educators can teach people to take effective action. And he discusses how educators and learners can work together to make that action morally justifiable. Newman argues that the educator's role is to help people resist the controls imposed on them by others. The task, the challenge, the mission of the activist educator is to teach defiance.

Project Management and Human Resources : How to Use Agile, Scrum, Lean Six Sigma, Kanban and Kaizen for Managing Projects Along with a Guide on Human Resource Management (9781637162088)

If you want to develop your skills in project management and human resource management, then keep reading... Two manuscripts in one book: Project Management: An Essential Guide for Beginners Who Want to Understand Agile, Scrum, Lean Six Sigma, Kanban and Kaizen When Applied to Managing ProjectsHuman Resource Management: The Ultimate Guide to HR for Managers, Organizations, Small Business Owners, or Anyone Else Wanting to Make the Most of Human Capital Some projects were always bound to fail. However, that is just a tiny minority. Most projects fail at least partly because of poor project management. If the project manager does not keep the team focused, doesn't keep control of progress, and doesn't keep checking that the project is meeting its objectives, projects easily drift. It is like letting a boat sail on without keeping a hand on the tiller-sooner or later, it will drift off course. This book aims to demystify project management and show you two different approaches tha...

Religious Tourism in Northern Thailand : Encounters with Buddhist Monks (9780295748924)

Temples are everywhere in Chiang Mai, filled with tourists as well as saffron-robed monks of all ages. The monks participate in daily urban life here as elsewhere in Thailand, where Buddhism is promoted, protected, and valued as a tourist attraction. Yet this mountain city offers more than a fleeting, commodified tourist experience, as the encounters between foreign visitors and Buddhist monks can have long-lasting effects on both parties. These religious contacts take place where economic motives, missionary zeal, and opportunities for cultural exchange coincide. Brooke Schedneck incorporates fieldwork and interviews with student monks and tourists to examine the innovative ways that Thai Buddhist temples offer foreign visitors spaces for religious instruction and popular in-person Monk Chat sessions in which tourists ask questions about Buddhism. Religious Tourism in Northern Thailand also considers how Thai monks perceive other religions and cultures and how they represent their own...

Race Across the Atlantic : Alcock and Brown's Record-Breaking Non-Stop Flight (9781526747839)

It was Tuesday, 15 July 1919 and for the residents of Clifden on Ireland's west coast this was not to be a normal day. Just before 08.40 hours, descending out of the gloom, came a large, twin-engine aeroplane lining up for final approach. One or two on-lookers recognised the danger straight away for this was an area of soft bog, but their attempts to alert the pilot were in vain. The aircraft began to sink and, with a squelch, came to a sudden stop, the tail rearing up in the air. Dazed and with fuel filling the cockpit the two-man crew scrambled out, grabbing what they could. After a flight lasting 16 hours and 28 minutes, Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten-Brown had won the race to be the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic. It was a rough ending for a race that began in April 1913 when Lord Rothermere, aviation philanthropist and owner of the Daily Mail, offered a prize of 10,000, roughly equivalent to $1,000,000 in today's money, to the aviator who sha...
