Seven Ways to Move is a dynamic exploration of contrast and cohesion written after a wide-ranging discussion with Mick Broad. I was particularly inspired by Mick’s love for the energy of pulsed music, and his wish to take part in a heavy rock physical movement class.I have responded with music for solo piano – at times fluid and lyrical, at others abrupt, pulsing, or fragmented. The piece plays with shifting pulses: the hypnotic and driving alongside the grounded and deliberate. It unfolds as seven interconnected musical sections that flow seamlessly into one another. Despite their diverse characters, the seven sections are bound together by the same harmonic thread, celebrating movement in all its forms—both expected and surprising.Seven Ways to Move is dedicated to Mick Broad. I am grateful to both Mick and pianist Yuanfan Yang for the many helpful conversations along the way.

Taxonomy is the common name for an EU regulation that supports companies in sustainable environmental and climate action (Regulation [EU] No. 2020/852). It is a classification tool designed for investors, companies, and financial institutions to define the environmental impact of business activities and the requirements that organisations must meet to be considered as sustainable.The aim of this book is to examine the EU taxonomy from the built environment perspective and the ways in which it can be used to build resilience in real estate. It presents the issues, hot points, and possible choices from the designers, construction consultants, and investing bodies'' points of view, those who must set forth initial conditions, which should later become the keystones for greener developments. It brings together the expertise of a unique team of both researchers and professionals and presents a methodology, case studies, and solutions which together comprise a novel understanding of the taxonomy’s influence on the pre-construction phase. The book:• describes the role of the built environment within sustainable development and how real estate can be used to build resilience with the use of taxonomy.• describes the characteristics of resilient environmentally friendly cities in the future.• proposes a roadmap to demonstrate urban ...

A reflection on the role of suffering in human existence. It’s right there in the Book of Job: “Man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward.” Suffering is an inescapable part of the human condition—which leads to a question that has proved just as inescapable throughout the centuries: Why? Why do we suffer? Why do people die young? Is there any point to our pain, physical or emotional? Do horrors like hurricanes have meaning?  In Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering, Scott Samuelson tackles that hardest question of all. To do so, he travels through the history of philosophy and religion, but he also attends closely to the real world we live in. While always taking the question of suffering seriously, Samuelson is just as likely to draw lessons from Bugs Bunny as from Confucius, from his time teaching philosophy to prisoners as from Hannah Arendt’s attempts to come to terms with the Holocaust. He guides us through the arguments people have offered to answer this fundamental question, explores the many ways that we have tried to minimize or eliminate suffering, and examines people’s attempts to find ways to live with pointless suffering. Ultimately, Samuelson shows, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

He hadn''t ever sailed before and had not the foggiest how to start.In a series of madcap and hilarious adventures we follow Chris from a shaky start in Chichester harbour to his epic Odyssey to Spetses (a bucket would have been handy), and then on to the journey of a lifetime - battening down the hatches on a trip across the North Atlantic.

The past decade has seen a vast expansion of resilience pedagogies, policies, and products in public education, from the Every Student Succeeds Act to social and emotional learning to grit. Educational apps, avatars, and games as well as behaviorist techniques, meditation programs, and biometric devices claim to teach resilience to adverse social conditions while new cyber schools, education brokers, global democracy promotion companies, and dropout recovery firms promise schools resilience to disaster and disruption. The Disaster of Resilience shows how resilience discourse is interwoven with the new digital directions of educational privatization. Saltman argues that resilience has provided the justification for new educational profiteering, creating a climate which individualizes collective responsibilities, depoliticizes and dehistoricizes knowledge and curriculum, and falsely grounds its politics in a mashup of pseudoscience and human capital theory. He argues that we must replace resilience discourse with pedagogies and curriculum that allow students not only to endure the intolerable conditions they find themselves in, but to see beyond those conditions and to act collectively on the social, economic, and racial injustices that created them.

Drawing on decades of experience in the charity sector and enriched by real-life examples, this book helps readers to consider how to be a more resilient leader and explores why a whole-life approach could be a gamechanger in today’s world. The world we live and work in has changed exponentially over the last few years, and all sectors share an increased emphasis on sustainability, self-care, and resilience. But these last two concepts appear contradictory: how can we keep bouncing back from setbacks when we need a break? Based on her doctoral study carried out over three years – and almost 20 years heading up the Third-Sector leadership body in Scotland – Patricia Armstrong shows that resilience is much more holistic than previously thought. It’s not just about what we do that keeps us resilient; it’s also how we think and how we take into account the environment around us. Readers will find new thinking, tools to help assess where focus is needed, and ways to consider proactive resilience through a new lens so that when the next setback hits, the drop is not so deep and recovery is not so steep.
