The mother of God is often portrayed as a passive figure, yet Mary is described in Luke's gospel as a woman who exercised choice, questioned things, reflected, responded, spoke up, and demonstrated great faith. Mary had a voice. This unique Advent devotional from British theologian Amy Orr-Ewing invites us to hear the familiar Christmas story from an untold perspective: that of an ordinary, young, poor, oppressed woman who was chosen to play a significant and breakthrough role in the redemption of the world. It is no mistake that a woman gets to be a part of all this, and that her voice, her questions, her fears, and her actions matter. Through passages from Luke's gospel - the writer who used Mary as his primary witness for his account of Christ's life - and stunning paintings of the nativity from artists ancient and modern (including The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse illustrator, Charlie Mackesy), Amy Orr-Ewing guides the reader through each day of Advent from Mary's point of view, exploring who she knew Christ to be. "If leadership is about influence, then, after Jesus, Mary was the greatest leader of all time. Uniquely, she was present at the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The first major book to deal with the dual crises of democracy and climate change as one interrelated threat to the human future and to identify a path forward.Democracy in a Hotter Time calls for reforming democratic institutions as a prerequisite for avoiding climate chaos and adapting governance to how Earth works as a physical system. To survive in the “long emergency” ahead, we must reform and strengthen democratic institutions, making them assets rather than liabilities. Edited by David W. Orr, this vital collection of essays proposes a new political order that will not only help humanity survive but also enable us to thrive in the transition to a post–fossil fuel world.Orr gathers leading scholars, public intellectuals, and political leaders to address the many problems confronting our current political systems. Few other books have taken a systems view of the effects of a rapidly destabilizing climate on our laws and governance or offered such a diversity of solutions. These thoughtful and incisive essays cover subjects from Constitutional reform to participatory urban design to education; together, they aim to invigorate the conversation about the human future in practical ways that will improve the effectiveness of democratic institutions and lay the foundation ...

What should conversations about race look and sound like in the elementary classroom? How do we respond authentically and truthfully to children’s questions about the world? And how can we build classroom communities that encourage these meaningful conversations about race?Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr take on these questions and more in We’re Gonna Keep On Talking: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Elementary Classroom. A companion work to Kay’s Not Light, But Fire, this book focuses on the unique and powerful role discussions about race can play in the elementary classroom.Drawing its title inspiration from the lyrics of the freedom song “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around,” sung by hundreds of children marching against segregation in what came to be known as the Children’s Crusade of 1963, We’re Gonna Keep On Talking is written for teachers who are willing to match children’s courage and brilliance, and who believe that “a foundation in meaningful race discourse will help [children] to seek justice for themselves and their neighbors, to be kinder, [and] more thoughtful.”Writing with the humility and honest storytelling of two career classroom teachers, Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr share: Strategies for building safe and supportive classroom and ...

The Shepherd and the Morning Star is a remarkable double biography and autobiography. In the course of it the life of the son, Willie Orr, gradually emerges from under the shadow of that of his father, Lawrence Orr (PB), leading Ulster Unionist politician, philanderer and would-be bigamist, who ends his days in disgrace with his career and family in ruins.Rootless and troubled, Willie himself went through various jobs – in the Belfast shipyards, as an actor, as a helper in the Iona Community. He suffered a severe nervous breakdown from which he slowly recovered, finding purpose and fulfilment working as a shepherd for many years and then later retraining as a teacher. In between times he wrote as a journalist for the Scotsman and with his wife set up a counselling service for adolescents in Oban.This book is a deeply absorbing and powerful piece of writing, a record of mood and emotional development as much as a detailed chronology. Very funny in parts and with a poet’s sensitivity in others, it explores that precarious territory between the public and private lives of politicians.

Leonard Orr, autor moderního rebirthingu, v knize seznamuje čtenáře s výsledky svého bádání o skutečně žijících nesmrtelných jogínech, historickým kontextem fenoménu nesmrtelnosti a praktickým návodem, jak směřovat k nesmrtelnosti fyzického těla v moderním světě. Jakmile zájemce o tuto cestu vykoná první, zásadní krok, jímž je ROZHODNOUT SE pro fyzickou nesmrtelnost, jsou další kroky už relativně snadné a zábavné. Vyžadují však určitou koncentrovanost a vytrvalost při provádění příslušných návyků a cvičení. I kdyby se vám nakonec fyzické nesmrtelnosti dosáhnout nepodařilo, stojí za to na ní začít pracovat. Budete zdravější, živější a váš život radostnější. Tato cesta nemá konce. Zahrnuje vyléčení porodního traumatu, rozluštění svého pudu zemřít, očišťování energetického těla a další náležité kroky. Jak autor konstatuje závěrem, "rozhodnutím stát se nesmrtelným jógovým mistrem se v daném okamžiku stáváte nesmrtelným. Finta je v tom, nesmrtelným zůstat. To evidentně vyžaduje zvládnout své rozhodnutí ve věčném Teď. Okamžik za okamžikem jsme tohoto Teď pánem. Je pouze nutné rozšířit své mistrovství i do příštího okamžiku a pak dalšího - a pamatovat při tom, že jsme pány svého života."

What do Winston Churchill, Rosa Parks, Emile Zola, Billy Beane and Christopher Hitchens have in common? They are all Contrarians. This book is about the people who do not quietly slip into the shadows, who revel in playing devil’s advocate, who zig when everyone else zags and who dare ask the question: ‘Yes, but just supposing that everyone else is wrong?’They are not always successful all of the time. In fact some are spectacularly unsuccessful on occasions. They may not be popular or easy to live with, but are always interesting and usually inspiring. Some make a point of arguing the opposite point of view on every occasion; some are mainstream on everything, but resolute in opposing the mainstream on one particular issue. For some, the issue which they contest so vigorously becomes mainstream through their exertions.In Compendium of Contrarians, Robert Orr-Ewing shows how he has been inspired by these amusing, challenging, interesting and unusual characters.

An authoritative and superbly illustrated exploration of the events of July 3, 1863, incorporating new interpretations that have arisen in the past two decades.The third day of the Battle of Gettysburg was the most dramatic of the three. Among the iconic clashes that took place was the 12,500-man attack known as Pickett''s Charge, General Lee''s last assault at Gettysburg in which his soldiers suffered over 60 percent losses. Other key moments of the day were the action at Culp''s Hill-arguably where the outcome of the battle was decided-the engagement at East Cavalry Field, the two-hour artillery duel, and the Union counterattack at the south end of the battlefield.This final volume in Timothy J. Orr''s trilogy emphasizes the tactical decisions of Day Three and documents the ensuing combat in detailed 2D maps, 3D diagrams, and historic photographs. It also includes a brief summary of the strategic and human consequences of the campaign, carrying the story to November 19, 1863, the day of Lincoln''s famed Gettysburg Address.

Osobná spoveď mladej židovky o jej úniku z náboženskej sekty. Satmárska sekta, spoločenstvo odštiepené od chasidského judaizmu, ľudí zvonka láka svojím tajomnom. Deborah Feldmanová vo svojich memoároch odhaľuje, ako sa žije v osídlach náboženských tradícií, vo svete, ktorý si mlčanie a utrpenie cení viac než slobodu jednotlivca. Deborah vyrastala vo svete, kde sa všetko riadi podľa neúprosných pravidiel a zvykov, ktoré rozhodujú o všetkom, počnúc tým, čo si smie obliecť, s kým sa smie rozprávať, až po to, čo smie a nesmie čítať. Aj napriek týmto obmedzeniam z nej vyrástla nezávislá mladá žena, potajomky hltajúca príbehy silných literárnych hrdiniek Jane Austenovej a Louisy May Alcottovej, ktoré jej pomohli vytvárať si predstavu iného spôsobu života. Už ako tínedžerka sa ocitla v sexuálne i emocionálne nefunkčnom manželstve s mužom, ktorého takmer nepoznala. Jej vnútorné napätie medzi nenaplnenými túžbami a povinnosťou žiť tak, ako sa na vzornú židovku patrí, vyvrcholilo v momente, keď sa ako devätnásťročná stala matkou. Vtedy si naplno uvedomila, že - bez ohľadu na prekážky - kvôli sebe a svojmu synovi musí uniknúť. "Strhujúci príbeh odvážnej hrdinky...

As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan. Trapped as a teenager in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she barely knew, the tension between Deborah's desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until she gave birth at nineteen and realized that, regardless of the obstacles, she would have to forge a path-for herself and her son-to happiness and freedom.

Po počátečním tápání se jí zrodil v hlavě nápad, jehož jedinečnost neměla v tom čase obdoby: navázala na kdysi hrdou tradici afghánských salonů krásy a díky podpoře mezinárodních sponzorů otevřela Kábulskou školu krásy, která by ženám zaručila schopnost zajistit rodině obživu. Zájemkyně o studium se jen hrnuly a mezi učitelkou a jejími studentkami se i přes občasná nedorozumění a kulturní i jazykovou bariéru rychle vytvořilo přátelské pouto. Deborah tak měla možnost nahlédnout do nelehkých osudů žen, které se často musely vyrovnávat s následky válečné tragédie či osobního traumatu, ať šlo o dívku, kterou ve dvanácti prodali do manželství, protože její rodina potřebovala zaplatit dluhy, či manželku stoupence Tálibánu, který se bitím snažil ženu donutit, aby studium ukončila. Nevšední vyprávění, v němž autorka s vřelostí a humorem líčí životní příběhy žen, jež se sešly proto, aby si společně osvojily umění trvalé ondulace, přátelství a svobody.

From one of the great thinkers and writers of our time, comes the unmissable final instalment in Deborah Levy''s critically acclaimed ''Living Autobiography''.''A beautifully crafted and thought-provoking snapshot of a life'' The Evening Standard_________________________________''I began to wonder what myself and all unwritten and unseen women would possess in their property portfolios at the end of their lives. Literally, her physical property and possessions, and then everything else she valued, though it might not be valued by society. What might she claim, own, discard and bequeath? Or is she the real estate, owned by patriarchy? In this sense, Real Estate is a tricky business. We rent it and buy it, sell and inherit it - but we must also knock it down.''Following the critical acclaim of Things I Don''t Want to Know and The Cost of Living, this final volume of Deborah Levy''s ''Living Autobiography'' is an exhilarating, thought-provoking and boldly intimate meditation on home and the spectres that haunt it._________________________________''Real Estate is a book to dive into.

From twice Booker-shortlisted author Deborah Levy, a moving and revelatory collection exploring the muses that have shaped her life and work as a writerIn The Position of Spoons, Deborah Levy traces and measures her life against the backdrop of the literary and artistic muses that have shaped her – including a letter to her dying mother and to an absent friend. This volume illuminates and celebrates a rich and varied intellectual inheritance – and reflects on how it has enriched the author’s own work. Taking in questions of mortality, language, gender, place, consumerism and everyday living, the acclaimed novelist invites her reader behind the curtain of a creative life, ‘in which the position of the spoon is always changing’.‘Levy’s writing is dreamy but diamond-sharp, prismatic, droll, [and] devastating . . . Each sentence precisely pins down a feeling’ Los Angeles Review of Books‘Writing is self-excavation, a painful digging into the archaeology of our own experience. Levy is good on the prices we find ourselves paying: for art, for love, for fitting in . . . [She] plunges into the depths, taking us with her’ Guardian

In 2009, at the age of twenty-three, Deborah Feldman packed up her young son and their few possessions and walked away from her insular Hasidic roots. She was determined to find a better life for herself, away from the oppression and isolation of her Satmar upbringing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. And in Exodus, Revisited she delves into what happened next - taking the reader on a journey that starts with her beginning life anew as a single mother, a religious refugee, and an independent woman in search of a place and a community where she can belong. Originally published in 2014, Deborah has now revisited and significantly expanded her story, and the result is greater insight into her quest to discover herself and the true meaning of home. Travels that start with making her way in New York expand into an exploration of America and eventually lead to trips across Europe to retrace her grandmother''s life during the Holocaust, before she finds a landing place in the unlikeliest of cities. Exodus, Revisited is a deeply moving examination of the nature of memory and generational trauma, and of reconciliation with both yourself and the world.
