bring the outside in abi dare

Award-winning interiors blogger Abi Dare, author of The Soft Minimalist Home, offers a new take on biophilic design using organic materials, colors and textures to bring the outside in.Nature provides ample inspiration for our homes, and a biophilic approach to design has been shown to enhance our mental and physical wellbeing. But there is more to it than adding lots of plants. Here, Abi Dare explores how to create an inviting home that makes subtle references to the natural world. The book is divided into six sections: color, materials and texture, shape and pattern, light and dark, layout and view, and finishing touches. In each, Abi provides practical tips and presents inspiring case studies, from a city apartment in Rotterdam to a family home in London and a farmhouse in the West Country. Palettes go beyond green, incorporating terracottas, pinks, peaches, blues, and ochers. Wood, stone, plaster, and linen offer a tactile experience, whether sleek and modern or rough-hewn and rustic. Soft curves, flowing lines, and imperfect forms can be used to mimic nature, tempering straight lines and sharp angles. Windows let in sunlight and frame our views of the outside world. Throughout, Abi highlights that biophilic design is not just an abstract theory, but an accessible concept that can make a big difference to our homes and lives.

In 1878, President Rutherford B. Hayesobserved Easter with a public “Egg Roll. But it wasn’t until 2009 that a US president officially celebrated Passover.A year earlier, on the campaign trail, three staffers had to get creative in order to host a Seder dinner. They gathered in a hotel basement, joined by candidate Barack Obama. They made the most of their surroundings and modest dinner, shared the stories and rituals of the holiday, and found connections between their communities. They made a toast and a promise to a future, grander celebration: next year in the White House.For the first time, this story is told for picture book readers by award-winning author Richard Michelson and lauded illustrator EB Lewis in this special partnership with PJ Library.

The best-selling book on the topic—now in 15 languages. This practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical well-being builds on Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory—one of the most important recent developments in human neurobiology. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and Rolfer, Stanley Rosenberg explores the crucial role that the vagus nerve plays in determining our psychological and emotional states and explains that a myriad of common psychological and physical symptoms—from anxiety and depression to migraines and back pain—indicates a lack of proper functioning in the vagus nerve. Through a series of easy self-help exercises, the book illustrates the simple ways we can regulate the vagus nerve in order to initiate deep relaxation, improve sleep, and recover from injury and trauma. Additionally, by exploring the link between a well-regulated vagus nerve and social functioning, Rosenberg’s findings and methods offer new hope that by improving social behavior it is possible to alleviate some of the symptoms at the core of many cases of autism spectrum disorders. Useful for psychotherapists, doctors, bodyworkers, and caregivers, as well as anyone who experiences the symptoms of chronic stress and depression, this book shows how we can optimize autonomic functioning in ourselves and others, and bring the body into the state of safety that activates its innate capacity to heal.

Award-winning interiors blogger Abi Dare of These Four Walls reveals a softer, more relaxed approach to minimalism that will enhance your wellbeing and simplify your home.Many of us yearn to turn our homes into calming sanctuaries, but there are still misconceptions of minimalist decor as sterile, unattainable, and devoid of personality.

The Soft Minimalist Home shows how a diverse range of people have created minimalist havens that reflect their tastes and tell their stories. An apartment in London brings unexpected pops of colour, a 1920s Dutch townhouse is filled with light, and a family home in Sweden takes its cues from nature.

Throughout, Abi guides readers to harness the mood-boosting power of minimalist decor for themselves, proving that less really is more.

A beguiling exploration of what contemporary spiritual practices might offer to a world that’s lost its religion Dr Sharon Blackie, author of If Women Rose Rooted Abi Millar is looking for something. She grew up in an evangelical church, but after she lost her faith, she found herself searching for spirituality in other places. Torn between the logical part of her brain and the part that secretly believes in magic, and in the wake of a great loss, she wondered whether her crisis of faith was part of a larger story: at a time when more and more people in the Western world are moving away from organised religion, what does spirituality look like?The Spirituality Gap follows Abi as she receives a shamanic healing, drinks ayuahuasca, delves into astrology, experiences an awakening in a lake, and attends an atheist church. Written with great warmth, curiosity and humour, it explores our post-religious world from the perspective of someone who is neither a ‘spiritual but not religious’ hippie nor an angry atheist. Throughout, she asks: how can we embrace ritual in our own lives even if we are wary of religion?

Matt Hern argues that the changing relationship between the urban center and the suburban periphery forces us to rethink the entire identity of the city itself. Today, most of the Western world lives on the city outskirts. Yet these neighborhoods that once offered security and respite from the perceived dangers of the city center have been radically transformed in the last few decades to poor, working-class and racialized communities. Outside the Outside maps these changes and argues for a revival of the social life of the city as a whole.Hern shows how language that relegates parts of the urban to the outside and designates other parts as the center echoes colonial forms of domination. This should come as no surprise in an era when communities are forced onto the periphery and beyond by gentrification.With on-the-ground reportage in, among other places, Vancouver, Portland, London, Ferguson and Rabat, Hern demonstrates how we need to challenge our misconceptions and see the sub-urbs as vibrant places of resistance and regeneration and to celebrate the movement, circulation and difference to be found there.

Downtown, 1956-1965--the first volume of Sixties British Pop, Outside In--describes the rise of London s music and recording cultures through the stories of those who empowered Britain s youth to be young. As the generations born in the postwar world entered adolescence and demanded a say in their lives, British musicians responded by creating music reflecting youth s quest for love and recognition. With waves of technological innovation sweeping through a world where political and economic superpowers postured for domination, deep-seated English values helped shape both pop music and its audiences.The music that reverberated in hundreds of local clubs and halls began as fervent attempts to imitate an ongoing American cultural invasion that television helped bring into front rooms across Britain. The emergence of British blues and rock n roll began when broadcasters allowed teens to discover Tommy Steele, Cliff Richard and the Shadows, Adam Faith, Helen Shapiro, and others. These pioneers provided an opening for the Beatles to lead a northwest invasion of an unsuspecting London. Soon, from across the nation, the Rolling Stones, the Animals, the Kinks, and a host of other groups, and singers such as Petula Clark, Tom Jones, and Donovan were feeding their music into the same media stream that the US had dominated. Americans, reeling from the assassination of a president, embraced the unmitigated joy and optimism they heard and called it the British invasion. Based on extensive research and drawing on vintage and original interviews, Downtown, 1956-1965 frames the extraordinary rise of British pop in an era when pharmaceutical discoveries and electromagnetic innovation were altering lives. A community of musicians, producers, music directors, engineers, songwriters, publishers, promoters, broadcasters, and journalists provided songs, made and played recordings, organized concerts, and wrote about music expressing the exuberance of youth culture. They brought audiences together and gave individuals identity. Moreover, the fruits of their efforts set in motion the musical world in which we live today.

His plain-speaking, humane and non-judgemental approach continues to influence our understanding of parenting today.

We spend time in the Low because we re human, not because we re broken.In the Low is a collection of contemplative words and images for seasons of depression. It is a book designed to meet you where you are and sit with you there the way God does: intentionally and without judgment.For many of us, the question isn t whether or not we will enter into depression but how to be there when we do. In those low places, we experience disconnection from others, from a meaningful life, and from God, and it can be difficult to know what to think or pray. This is where art and the honest prayers of others can help us name what we re experiencing so we know we re not alone. In the Low is designed to meet you in the dark and linger there with you as you sit under the weight of depression or despair. Instead of shaming you for how you feel, minimizing your pain, or suggesting quick fixes, Justin McRoberts and Scott Erickson offer you prayers in language and imagery that can help you be honest and vulnerable with yourself and with God. Featuring poetic prayers for deeper relationships, healing from trauma, a hopeful future, and more, In the Low meets you where you are in your journey and calls you deeper into the heart of God--who is not afraid of the dark. In the Low has a permanent spot on my bookshelf. I m grateful for the unhurried connection Scott and Justin offer to us through their words, images, and humanity. --Emily P. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk into a Room Here is a tender guide, not to answers but to the shared humanity of searching, waiting, and finding meaning in the in-between. --David Gungor, The Brilliance I can offer no higher compliment than this: Someone I love dearly picked up this book during a stretch of pressing darkness, and it helped them. --Shauna Niequist, author of I Guess I Haven t Learned That Yet As someone who has wanted to end it all in her own season of depression, and who accompanies many others in theirs, In the Low is the gift I ve longed for. --Tara Owens, executive director, Anam Cara Ministries, spiritual director, and author of Embracing the Body Depression has a way of turning prayer into a foreign language, leaving us stammering in the dark for words we once spoke with ease. In the Low gives voice to those struck speechless by despair, honoring the sacred truth that faith often speaks through the shadows. --Jonathan Merritt, columnist and author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch In the Low acts as a companion to our seasons of melancholy without rushing us to fix anything. It meets us where we are, as we are. This book resonates deeply within my angsty artist heart, and I m so grateful it exists in the world. --Jess Janz, poet and founder of Dinner with Strangers Scott and Justin created a hand to hold in the valley, and I m grateful to the both of them for how warm it is. --Levi The Poet, spoken word artist As I read the honest, simple prayers in this book and let the clear and powerful illustrations do their work on me, I felt: This will help, not hurt. This will help make things better, not worse. You will treasure this book, I predict, and come back to it again and again. --Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and Life After Doom In the Low is accompaniment for the places inside that deserve to be known, the wordless places that need words, the dark and diffuse places that need form and shape. --Dr. Hillary L. McBride, psychologist, podcast host, author, and mother In the Low is a warm, tender, desperately needed book that doesn t speak about the ache but from inside of it. This is the rare work of spirituality that is not abstract, detached, clichéd, or avoidant but instead gives us the language to speak the unspeakable. --Jonathan Martin, author of How to Survive a Shipwreck and The Road Away from God In the Low is both simple and subversive, inviting us not simply into peace but fuller personhood. --K.J. Ramsey, licensed therapist and author of The Book of Common Courage Encounter this book on its own terms. Encounter this book at the necessarily slow pace of God. And above all, encounter this book and come to know the joy of the God of the Low. --Curt Thompson, MD, author of The Deepest Place and The Soul of Desire In the Low gives us permission to name the ache in our hearts without rushing to fix it. What a relief to discover honest prayers and art that offer a flicker of hope for the dark nights of the soul. --Kayla Craig, author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way and creator of Liturgies for Parents Through this book, Justin and Scott offer us words, images, and their own selves in ways that gently dispel that piece of the darkness and give us a sense of companions who see us, know us, and care. --Donna Hatasaki, senior director of spiritual formation, Young Life Dark seasons aren t optional--they re the price of admission for being human.

The CEO of Disney, one of Time s most influential people of 2019, shares the ideas and values he embraced to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world and inspire the people who bring the magic to life. Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Morale had deteriorated, competition was intense, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger-think global-and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets. Fourteen years later, Disney is the largest, most respected media company in the world, counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and he is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our era. In The Ride of a Lifetime, Robert Iger shares the lessons he s learned while running Disney and leading its 200,000 employees, and he explores the principles that are necessary for true leadership, including: Optimism. Even in the face of difficulty, an optimistic leader will find the path toward the best possible outcome and focus on that, rather than give in to pessimism and blaming. Courage. Leaders have to be willing to take risks and place big bets. Fear of failure destroys creativity. Decisiveness. All decisions, no matter how difficult, can be made on a timely basis. Indecisiveness is both wasteful and destructive to morale. Fairness. Treat people decently, with empathy, and be accessible to them. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as the lowliest studio grunt at ABC. It s also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the Star Wars mythology. The ideas in this book strike me as universal Iger writes. Not just to the aspiring CEOs of the world, but to anyone wanting to feel less fearful, more confidently themselves, as they navigate their professional and even personal lives.

Based on period documents and photography, the book maps in detail the development of Czech non-university sciences from the 18th century when the Society of Unknown Scholars in the Austrian Lands was founded in Olomouc. The main attention is focused on the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and its most important precursors, whether the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, active in 1953-1992, or earlier institutions, such as the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (originally the Emperor Franz Joseph Czech Academy for Sciences, Literature and Arts), founded in 1890, or the Royal Bohemian Society of Learning, which existed already from the 18th century. Individual chapters are devoted also to Masaryk Academy of Labour and the main scientific institutions of the Germans living in the Czech lands - Gesellschaft zur Förderung Deutscher Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur in Böhmen (Society for the Support of German Sciences, Arts and Literature in Bohemia). Attention is, however, also devoted to our most important scientists with whose research results as well as the milieu in which they worked and work the reader is acquainted with through archival and contemporary sources. The patrons and sponsors who made it possible for Czech science to reach a global level are also not forgotten. The entire process of the development of Czech non-university science is places in the wider social context, which influenced the development of the scientific institutions and the position of scientists in them.
