PSYCH
106678
Author: K. Ramakrishna Rao
File Type: pdf
This authoritative volume, written by two well-known psychologist-philosophers, presents a model of the person and its implications for psychological theory and practice. Professors Ramakrishna Rao and Anand Paranjpe draw the contours of Indian psychology, describe the methods of study, explain crucial concepts, and discuss the central ideas and their application, illustrating them with insightful case studies and judicious reviews of available research data and existing scholarly literature. The main theme is organized around the thesis that psychology is the study of the person and that the person is a unique composite of body, mind and consciousness. The goal of the person is self-realization. Self-realization consists in the realization of ones true self as distinct from the manifest ego and it is facilitated by cultivating consciousness. Cultivating consciousness leads to a kind of psycho-spiritual symbiosis resulting in personal transformation, altruistic value orientation and flowering of the hidden human potential. **

THE R
137757
Author: Christopher Partridge
File Type: pdf
As a book about emergent spirituality in the contemporary West, this books focuses on the nature, evolution and significance of new forms of religion and alternative spiritualities. Part One of the book provides the theoretical background and guides the reader through some of the principal debates. After an overview of the secularization thesis, which argues that the West is becoming increasingly disenchanted, the second chapter turns to the sociological analysis of new religions and alternative spiritualities. Particular attention is given to the ideas of the sociologist of religion Ernst Troeltsch, especially his enigmatic analysis of the emergence mystical religion, which presciently provides helpful insights into understanding the contemporary alternative religious milieu. Against sociologists such as Bryan Wilson and Steve Bruce, this and the subsequent chapter argues that, rather than being insignificant, new forms of spirituality are actually proving to be a significant part of Western re-enchantment. Chapter 3 constructs a general theory of the re-enchantment of the West. **

Door het bombardement van Rotterdam in mei 1940 werd een groot deel van de dichtbevolkte volksbuurt in de binnenstad verwoest. Veel arbeidersgezinnen, die voor het grootste deel toch al in uiterst moeilijke omstandigheden verkeerden en met een groot kindertal en een geringe uitkering in leven moesten zien te blijven, raakten huis en have kwijt en verloren soms ook een deel van hun familie. De ontredderden die geen kans zagen zelf een onderkomen te regelen, liepen het gevaar in handen te vallen van georganiseerde, professionele hulpverleners. Bijeengedreven in kampen, waar zij onder de meest erbarmelijk omstandigheden moesten zien te overleven, kregen deze oorlogsgetroffenen naast hun materiele nood die zij met meer Rotterdammers gemeen hadden vooral ook het schrijnend onrecht van een diepe mentale vernedering te verduren, een onrecht dat bij velen van hen tot op deze dag doorwerkt, zij werden juist vanwege de ellendige toestand waarin zij als groep verkeerden, tot asocialen gebrandmerkt en onder curatele gesteld. Controles werden uitgevoerd, intens vernederende rapporten werden opgesteld en nauwkeurig voorstelbare maatregelen werden getroffen, tot en met het gewapenderhand deporteren van 450 Rotterdammers naar interneringskampen (na de oorlog!) En dat alles op grond van wanbegrip en vooroordelen bij de betreffende instanties. WIJ ASOCIALEN beschrijft de schandelijke vernedering van honderden Rotterdammers in de periode 1940-1960. Het is verhaal van een van

MRS B
21582
Author: Evan S. Connell
File Type: epub
Evan S. Connells Mrs Bridge is an extraordinary tragicomic portrayal of suburban life and one of the classic American novels of the twentieth century, influencing books such as Jonathan Franzens The Corrections. This edition has an introduction by Joshua Ferris, author of Then We Came to the End and The Unnamed. Mrs Bridge, an unremarkable and conservative housewife in Kansas City, has three children and a kindly lawyer husband. She spends her time shopping, going to bridge parties and bringing up her children to be pleasant, clean and have nice manners. And yet she finds modern life increasingly baffling, her children arent growing up into the people she expected, and sometimes she has the vague disquieting sensation that all is not well in her life. In a series of comic, telling vignettes, Evan S. Connell illuminates the narrow morality, confusion, futility and even terror at the heart of a life of plenty.The companion novel Mr Bridge, telling the story from the other side of the marriage, is also available in Penguin Modern Classics, with an introduction by Lionel Shriver, author of We Need to Talk About Kevin.Evan S. Connell was born in Kansas City in 1924. He served in the US navy in the second world war and lived briefly in Paris before returning to the US, where he wrote an incredibly varied range of books and supported himself with odd jobs. In 2009, he was nominated for the Man Booker International Prize for lifetime achievement, and in 2010, he was awarded a Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Connell died in New Mexico on 10th January 2013, aged 88. How it is done I only wish I knew - Dorothy ParkerAn exquisite mixture of sympathy and ironic detachment - Independent

WHY A
150455
Author: Jonathan M. Ladd
File Type: pdf
As recently as the early 1970s, the news media was one of the most respected institutions in the United States. Yet by the 1990s, this trust had all but evaporated. Why has confidence in the press declined so dramatically over the past 40 years? And has this change shaped the publics political behavior? This book examines waning public trust in the institutional news media within the context of the American political system and looks at how this lack of confidence has altered the ways people acquire political information and form electoral preferences. Jonathan Ladd argues that in the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s, competition in American party politics and the media industry reached historic lows. When competition later intensified in both of these realms, the publics distrust of the institutional media grew, leading the public to resist the mainstream presss information about policy outcomes and turn toward alternative partisan media outlets. As a result, public beliefs and voting behavior are now increasingly shaped by partisan predispositions. Ladd contends that it is not realistic or desirable to suppress party and media competition to the levels of the mid-twentieth century rather, in the contemporary media environment, new ways to augment the publics knowledgeability and responsiveness must be explored. Drawing on historical evidence, experiments, and public opinion surveys, this book shows that in a world of endless news sources, citizens trust in institutional media is more important than ever before.
