Bringing in Beauty
Author: Malcolm Pullen
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504365550
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
When I heard of her Beauty had been a stray dog for almost two years. Many rescues had tried to bring her in and failed, unable to get close to her. Through requests of a friend I was reluctantly drawn onto the dance floor, into a dance with Beauty. A commitment to feed her for four weeks became a six month journey. A commitment to foster her became a choice to be together. Bringing in Beauty required I earn her trust. Earning her trust required I learn from her, required I to open to beauty.

Sensing God

Pages : 221
Book Description
"Sensing God is a discovery of Jesus in all of the sensory points embedded into each of us. It shows how the holiest acts in our daily lives are often the simplest: reveling in the beauty of nature; listening to our favorite music; eating a nourishing meal with family. These are potentially heartbeats of a living faith, and when we learn to recognize and respond to God's goodness in them, it draws us into redemptive participation with Him, the source of all beauty"--Amazon.com.

Anthropology and Beauty
Author: Stephanie Bunn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317400542
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book Description
Organised around the theme of beauty, this innovative collection offers insight into the development of anthropological thinking on art, aesthetics and creativity in recent years. The volume incorporates current work on perception and generative processes, and seeks to move beyond a purely aesthetic and relativist stance. The chapters invite readers to consider how people sense and seek out beauty, whether through acts of human creativity and production; through sensory experience of sound, light or touch, or experiencing architecture; visiting heritage sites or ancient buildings; experiencing the environment through ‘places of outstanding natural beauty’; or through cooperative action, machine-engineering or designing for the future.

Sensing Collectives
Author: Jan-Peter Voß
Publisher: transcript Verlag
ISBN: 3839457459
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Are aesthetics and politics really two different things? The book takes a new look at how they intertwine, by turning from theory to practice. Case studies trace how sensory experiences are created and how collective interests are shaped. They investigate how aesthetics and politics are entangled, both in building and disrupting collective orders, in governance and innovation. This ranges from populist rallies and artistic activism over alternative lifestyles and consumer culture to corporate PR and governmental policies. Authors are academics and artists. The result is a new mapping of the intermingling and co-constitution of aesthetics and politics in engagements with collective orders.
