Book Description
We live in a world where the drive for economic growth is crowding out everything that can’t be given a monetary value. We’re stuck on a treadmill where only the material things in life gain traction and it’s getting harder to find space for the things that really matter but money can’t buy, including our future. Fiona Reynolds proposes a solution that is at once radical and simple – to inspire us through the beauty of the world around us. Delving into our past, examining landscapes, nature, farming and urbanisation, she shows how ideas about beauty have arisen and evolved, been shaped by public policy, been knocked back and inched forward until they arrived lost in the economically-driven spirit of today. A passionate, polemical call to arms, The Fight for Beauty presents an alternative path forward: one that, if adopted, could take us all to a better future.

Humanity’s Beauty and Risk
Author: Ahmed Fathi Shalabi
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039193668
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
We experience beauty and risk on a daily basis: in what we see, what we feel, how we accept and judge others, and why we are human. Beauty and risk both challenge and frustrate us to think, learn, listen, and question ourselves. Humanity’s Beauty and Risk is an exploration of that challenge. One part poetry and two parts philosophy, this text explores the stages of human development: Infancy’s Dictums, Toddler’s Structure, Childhood’s Truth, Adolescence’s Love, Adult’s Maturity, and the Higher Self. Readers are guided to be fully present, aware of where they are and what they are doing, and to question what they think they know about these two captivating states. This mental exercise can be practised on a daily basis, making us more aware of how and why we experience, feel, and accept beauty and risk in our lives. When we reflect on those experiences, we think about what makes us different—and what makes us human.
