High As the Waters Rise
Author: Anja Kampmann
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 164622082X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This "gorgeously written" National Book Award finalist is a dazzling, heart-rending story of an oil rig worker whose closest friend goes missing, plunging him into isolation and forcing him to confront his past (NPR, One of the Best Books of the Year). One night aboard an oil drilling platform in the Atlantic, Waclaw returns to his cabin to find that his bunkmate and companion, Mátyás, has gone missing. A search of the rig confirms his fear that Mátyás has fallen into the sea. Grief-stricken, he embarks on an epic emotional and physical journey that takes him to Morocco, to Budapest and Mátyás's hometown in Hungary, to Malta, Italy, and finally to the mining town of his childhood in Germany. Waclaw's encounters along the way with other lost and yearning souls—Mátyás's angry, grieving half-sister; lonely rig workers on shore leave; a truck driver who watches the world change from his driver's seat—bring us closer to his origins while also revealing the problems of a globalized economy dependent on waning natural resources. High as the Waters Rise is a stirring exploration of male intimacy, the nature of memory and grief, and the cost of freedom—the story of a man who stands at the margins of a society from which he has profited little, though its functioning depends on his labor.

The Sea of Consciousness
Author: Gerard Aartsen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789090316956
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
George Adamski's lost debut puts his teaching on par with 21st-century science Until it was wrested from the mists of time, The Invisible Ocean (1932) was unknown to even Adamski's most dedicated students. Depicting cosmos as a sea of consciousness in which life expresses itself at its multifarious levels of manifestation, it shows that Adamski's interest and teaching were consistent throughout his life and, if anything, only matured in their expression. In The Sea of Consciousness Gerard Aartsen presents George Adamski's earliest teaching in the context of systems science -- which holds that nothing is separate, that everything interacts and evolves as an integral system -- and reveals how Adamski's philosophy and teaching were far ahead of their time. Reading Adamski's first publication alongside the insights from the very forefront of 21st-century scientific thinking should prompt a complete reassessment of his work on the part of everyone who is less than convinced that Adamski could be speaking from a higher level of understanding than most of us have access to. This is a volume of historical importance that could well signal the ultimate rehabilitation of George Adamski's reputation. About the author: Gerard Aartsen is a lifelong student of the Ageless Wisdom teaching and the author of four books about the extraterrestrial presence that have all been published in multiple languages. His work is based on the paradigm that Life is universal and One, expressing itself through the evolution of consciousness at all levels of existence, and that humanity must begin to manifest its oneness in diversity in order to survive and thrive.

Vision in Context
Author: Teresa Brennan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136047425
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Vision and the gaze are key issues in the analysis of racism, sexism and ethnocentrism. In recent radical theory, generally, and French theory in particular, vision has been seen as a means of control. But this view is often unnuanced. It bypasses questions such as: Why is it that contemporary theories have been so critical of vision, and generous towards listening (in psychoanalysis) and language (in philosophy)? This collection of original essays brings together historical studies and contemporary theoretical perspectives on vision. The historical papers focus in turn on Ancient Greece, medieval theology, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the nineteenth century. These historical studies are themselves thoroughly informed by poststructuralist theory. They provide a rigorous background for several new, exciting articles on vision and its bearings for feminism, race, sexual orientation, film and art. This collection is the first of its kind in juxtaposing historical and contemporary
