Becoming a Visible Man
Author: Jamison Green
Publisher: Vanderbilt University Press
ISBN: 0826522882
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
At least two generations of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people have emerged since Becoming a Visible Man was first published in 2004, but the book remains a beloved resource for trans people and their allies. Since the first edition's publication, author Jamison Green's writings and advocacy among business and governmental organizations around the world have led to major changes in the fields of law, medicine, and social policy, and his (mostly invisible) work has had significant effects on trans people globally. This new edition captures the changes of the last two decades, while also imparting a message of self-acceptance and health. With profoundly personal and eminently practical threads, Green clarifies transgender experience for transgender people and their families, friends, and coworkers. Medical and mental health care providers, educators, business leaders, and advocates seeking information about transgender concerns can all gain from Green's integrative approach to the topic. This book candidly addresses emotional relationships that are affected by a transition, and brings refined integrity to the struggle to self-define, whether one undergoes a transition or chooses not to. Emphasizing the lives of transgender men—who are often overlooked—he elucidates the experience of masculinity in a way that is self-assured and inclusive of feminist values. Green's inspirational wisdom has informed and empowered thousands of readers. There is still no other book like Becoming a Visible Man in the transgender canon.

Curiosity and Power
Author: Perry Zurn
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452960828
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
A trailblazing exploration of the political stakes of curiosity Curiosity is political. Who is curious, when, and how reflects the social values and power structures of a given society. In Curiosity and Power, Perry Zurn explores the political philosophy of curiosity, staking the groundbreaking claim that it is a social force—the heartbeat of political resistance and a critical factor in social justice. He argues that the very scaffolding of curiosity is the product of political architectures, and exploring these values and architectures is crucial if we are to better understand, and more ethically navigate, the struggle over inquiry in an unequal world. Curiosity and Power explores curiosity through the lens of political philosophy—weaving in Nietzsche, Foucault, and Derrida in doing so—and the experience of political marginalization, demonstrating that curiosity is implicated equally in the maintenance of societies and in their transformation. Curiosity plays as central a role in establishing social institutions and fields of inquiry as it does in their deconstruction and in building new forms of political community. Understanding curiosity is critical to understanding politics, and understanding politics is critical to understanding curiosity. Drawing not only on philosophy and political theory but also on feminist theory, race theory, disability studies, and trans studies, Curiosity and Power tracks curiosity in the structures of political marginalization and resistance—from the Civil Rights Movement to building better social relationships. Curiosity and Power insists that the power of curiosity be recognized and engaged responsibly.

The Secret Teachings of Eden
Author: TAZO
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669866955
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
The Secret Teachings of Eden is one of the most important and unforgettable books you will ever read. The reader will gain insights into the life of the spirit, and the soul in relation to the Cosmos: to re-enkindle his heart, and experience the deep enigmas of existence with the great thinkers of the past. Natural Science arose in the cultural setting of Christian Europe. Those first scientists at the dawn of the modern age, were spiritually trained mystic Monks of Christian Church Natural Science is mysteriously intertwined with the riddles of the Soul, and Christianity. The search for the meaning of life and the soul became bound up with debates over atoms and molecules and ended there. Times changed and the search for the soul was obscured by the uncertainty of the findings of natural science which eventually pervaded everything, including the teachings of Christianity. The Spiritual Body of Man, and his Christology was cast into shadow by the new Light of natural science, and Eden faded into man’s dreams. Is there a secret mystery teaching hidden in the discoveries of the natural sciences that relates to the search for the Soul, Man’s spiritual body, and the secrets of Christianity? Tazo takes up these threads of thought to reveal a concealed Teaching of the Spirit that goes back to ancient times. Follow along as Tazo shows the hidden connection of the Ancient Teachings to unlock the deepest secrets of the natural world. “Our science must lead the way, must prepare for what has to happen with the bodily essence in the future. In the near future, it must itself develop into something which has life in itself, and recognize the life inherent in the earth . . ..” The Temple Legend, Rudolf Steiner May 1905 What Readers Are Saying An abundance of rich contemplations pointing to higher meanings, both for today and for the considerable journey ahead, awaits the reader. - Edward Reaugh Smith, Author of David’s Question, The Burning Bush, and The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved. His works prove that knowledge is not enough...that only a personal experience of the light could bring forth such a profound original work of art. This standard of accomplishment will last throughout time beyond him, and affect so many long after he is gone. An absolute honor to know him and call him teacher, and true friend in the now and forever. -Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, founder of Chuu-shin Breathwork Art of Centering, Movie Producer, and Hollywood Film Star. Tazo's Book is magnificent! - Thomas Häußler, South Germany Talk about the details in perceptions! Relatable insights into the Garden of Eden as I have never heard before! Looking forward to reading his other books and enrolling into his online courses. Fernando Rodrigeuz The depth of knowledge teamed with the life giving breath of spiritual wisdom will leave your spirit full. - Stepahnie You are a great Teacher! Excellent! - Tamara Wilson This work is a valuable contribution to Spiritual Science. -Dr. Jose Rodolfo Contreras Tolosa
