Set Free in God’s Grace is a book that was initially prepared for a public presentation, but overtime has evolved into a brief devotional. In this book, we elaborate on the meaning of set free, the definition of the Grace of God, and how being set free applies to God’s Grace. With the use of natural examples, spiritual principles regarding the Grace of God are illustrated to help readers apply God’s word to their lives.

Resilience and Resistance through Contemplative Practice

Zen and the Anxious Academic

By: Nicole Bauer

Burnout, imposter syndrome, changes in higher education, issues of free speech, structural inequality—the challenges facing academics today are daunting and overwhelming. How do we balance all of our responsibilities and goals without becoming exhausted? How do scholars decide if activism is right for them, and if so, what form should it take? There is, fortunately, great wisdom, solace, and practical advice for the modern academic in ancient wisdom traditions, indigenous cultures, and contemplative practices like meditation from around the world. In Resilience and Resitance through Contemplative Practice: Zen and the Anxious Academic, the author argues that contemplative practice is not a substitute for social change or a band-aid for the difficulties academics face, but rather a powerful tool in building resilience and resistance to forces that undermine our well-being. Learn, for example, how Jungian psychology and ancient dream practices can help with academic writing, how the concept of dharma can lead us to discern our vocation and if activism is the right path for us, and how meditation can help us rediscover our innate self-worth in a culture where value is judged by narrow definitions of productivity and achievement. With these tools and insights, we can create positive change in both our inner and outer worlds.

White Woman Speaks with Forked Tongue

Criticism as Autobiography

By: Nicole Ward Jouve

Originally published in 1991. The style of this startlingly original appraisal of a broad range of women’s writing suggests a new direction for feminist criticism, combining as it does challenging, intellectual debate and fresh textual analysis with fictional example and autobiographical detail to make a wholly new invention in the field. In addressing the need for the critic to say ‘I’ and to own judgments and statements instead of attributing these to an apparently impersonal third person, the author here points up some of the shortcomings of much prevailing ‘feminist’ analysis, challenging the very foundations of the Anglo-American feminist idea. Purposely avoiding the ‘totalising’ effect of much academic criticism, the writer/critic finds a new format and a new methodology for her insights and observations on a range of writers, from Doris Lessing to Hélène Cixious. Her unique analysis of the links between criticism and autobiography enable her to highlight the absurdity of attempting to write in the light of recent critical and scientific knowledge as if the self were a stable, unified construct, introducing instead a new, creative understanding of the methods and modes of women’s writing. This sparkling collection presents an exciting and original new voice in literary criticism. It tackles issues fundamental to literary theory, feminist criticism, psychoanalysis and cultural studies, offering new critical insights and providing a significant and wholly original feminist contribution to these key fields.

How Vulnerability Can Heal Medical Education and Practice

By: Nicole M. Piemonte

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Afflicted

How Vulnerability Can Heal Medical Education and Practice

By: Nicole M. Piemonte

How medical education and practice can move beyond a narrow focus on biological intervention to recognize the lived experiences of illness, suffering, and death. In Afflicted, Nicole Piemonte examines the preoccupation in medicine with cure over care, arguing that the traditional focus on biological intervention keeps medicine from addressing the complex realities of patient suffering. Although many have pointed to the lack of compassion and empathy in medical practice, few have considered the deeper philosophical, psychological, and ontological reasons for it. Piemonte fills that gap, examining why it is that clinicians and medical trainees largely evade issues of vulnerability and mortality and, doing so, offer patients compromised care. She argues that contemporary medical pedagogy and epistemology are not only shaped by the human tendency to flee from the reality of death and suffering but also perpetuate it. The root of the problem, she writes, is the educational and institutional culture that promotes reductionist understandings of care, illness, and suffering but avoids any authentic confrontation with human suffering and the fear and self-doubt that can come with that confrontation. Through a philosophical analysis of the patient-practitioner encounter, Piemonte argues that the doctor, in escaping from authentic engagement with a patient who is suffering, in fact “escapes from herself.” Piemonte explores the epistemology and pedagogy of medicine, examines its focus on calculative or technical thinking, and considers how “clinical detachment” diminishes physicians. She suggests ways that educators might cultivate the capacity for authentic patient care and proposes specific curricular changes to help students expand their moral imaginations.

The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens

Film and History

By: Nicole Beth Wallenbrock

The Franco-Algerian War (1954–62) remains a powerful international symbol of Third Worldism and the finality of Empire. Through its nuanced analysis of the war's depiction in film, The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens locates an international reckoning with history that both condemns and exonerates past generations. Algerian and French production partnerships-such as Hors-la-loi, (Outside the Law, Rachid Bouchareb, 2010) and Loubia Hamra (Bloody Beans, Narimane Mari, 2013)-are one of several ways citizens collaborate to unearth a shared history and its legacy. Nicole Beth Wallenbrock probes cinematic discourse to shed new light on topics including: the media revelation of torture and atomic bomb tests; immigration's role in the evolution of the war's meaning; and the complex relationship of the intertwined film cultures. The first chapter summarizes the Franco-Algerian War in 20th-century film, thus grounding subsequent queries with Algeria's moudjahid or freedom-fighter films and the French new wave's perceived disinterest in the conflict. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to understand cinema's role in re-evaluating war and reconstructing international memory.

Keeping Up with Emerging Technologies

Best Practices for Information Professionals

By: Nicole Hennig

The acceleration of technological change demands that today's information professionals and educators not only be constantly acquiring new knowledge and skills, but also that they cultivate the ability to make sound judgments on which technologies to embrace. Today's librarians and information specialists know it's imperative that they keep up with new technologies. But not all technologies are equally important, either within the library setting or to library patrons. So how does one decide which ones to pursue and integrate into services? In the uphill battle to stay current with new and emerging technologies, deciding which ones to pursue and integrate into services is a major challenge. A secondary problem is simply finding the time to consider the question. Readers of Keeping Up with Emerging Technologies will learn all of the best practices and skills to keep up with new technologies and to analyze the ability of specific technologies to meet recognized user needs—all in this single source. You'll learn the best ways to gather information about new technologies and user needs, to evaluate and analyze information, to curate technology information for others, to set up experiments and evaluate the results, and to present your findings to persuade decision-makers. Written by the former head of user experience at MIT's library system, this guidebook serves information professionals, educators, education technology specialists, and anyone with "emerging technology" or "innovation" in their job titles. It will also be useful for library administrators and those who manage these positions as well as for students seeking a technology-oriented or curriculum-design career path in libraries.

Think Like a King, Act Like a King-The Proverbs 31 Man

By: Nicole Young Starks

My prayer is that men and women will be inspired to evaluate their purpose and how it can be a compliment to each other. God's creation of man and woman transcends gender. This book is not to debate this because God has already provided us the master plan for that. It is not my assignment to rehash and regurgitate the current debate about gender issues. However, God's download to me may challenge views on this social and moral issue. When a man is aligned with their Creator's plan, every facet of that man will be in order. After reading this devotional, my prayer is that men will claim their inheritance as a king. As a result they will be empowered to make a positive impact in their families, communities, and churches. Likewise, I hope that the queens in their lives will have a deeper appreciation and burden to support them in their newly or reclaimed role. Together, the kings and queens will reflect God's true love for mankind, ultimately demonstrating virtuous men and women!

Heroes in Contemporary British Culture

Television Drama and Reflections of a Nation in Change

By: Barbara Korte,Nicole Falkenhayner

This book explores how British culture is negotiating heroes and heroisms in the twenty-first century. It posits a nexus between the heroic and the state of the nation and explores this idea through British television drama. Drawing on case studies including programmes such as The Last Kingdom, Spooks, Luther and Merlin, the book explores the aesthetic strategies of heroisation in television drama and contextualises the programmes within British public discourses at the time of their production, original broadcasting and first reception. British television drama is a cultural forum in which contemporary Britain’s problems, wishes and cultural values are revealed and debated. By revealing the tensions in contemporary notions of heroes and heroisms, television drama employs the heroic as a lens through which to scrutinise contemporary British society and its responses to crisis and change. Looking back on the development of heroic representations in British television drama over the last twenty years, this book’s analyses show how heroisation in television drama reacts to, and reveals shifts in, British structures of feeling in a time marked by insecurity. The book is ideal for readers interested in British cultural studies, studies of the heroic and popular culture.

Passport Entanglements

Protection, Care, and Precarious Migrations

By: Nicole Constable

Passport Entanglements examines the problems with documents issued to Indonesian migrant workers in Hong Kong. Focusing on the politics and inequalities embedded in passports, anthropologist Nicole Constable looks at how these instruments determine legal status and prescribe rights. The book explores the larger role that passports and other types of documentation play in gendered migration, precarious labor, and bureaucracy as they reinforce violent structures on often already vulnerable women. Constable finds that new biometric technologies and surveillance do not lead to greater protection, security, or accuracy, but rather produce new vulnerabilities and reproduce old ones"--

The book maps opportunities for decision makers to break institutional silos and engage with bottom-up approaches that can transform planetary health from a global idea into a local reality. The analysis frames human health in the Anthropocene, an era in which humans have become the most powerful force affecting global ecosystems, and reveals new existential risks for humankind.Departing from ongoing multilateral efforts to promote sustainability, the author’s analysis places the agenda of planetary health on the desk of political decision makers, still underrepresented at planetary health gatherings. Given the pressing need to implement sustainable development policies, the book presents planetary health as an overarching framework for global policy targets, notably the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the post-2020 biodiversity framework under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. The book is timely in offering a concrete road map for practitioners and researchers interested in transforming the concept of planetary health into reality. With a collection of success stories, the analysis dwells on tools for community engagement, opportunities for health professionals training, gender empowerment, digital health, and innovative ways to enhance human well-being on a changing planet.

Be Happy!

How to Stop Negative Thinking, Start Focusing on the Positive, and Create Your Happiness Mindset

By: Nicole Fisher

How do you define happiness? Is happiness a place, or a destination? If it is, how do you get there? This book will help you understand that happiness is not a place at all, but rather a state of mind or a conscious decision you must make for yourself. No one can give you happiness, and no one can take it away. Take a moment to determine how important happiness is to you. If it is not that important, then you have nothing to worry about. Just be satisfied with the way you probably are: unhappy. If happiness IS important to you, then there is room for improvement! Happiness is the glue that holds our lives together. Happiness, or the pursuit of it, is what gives us hope. Happiness and joy give our lives meaning, and keeps us going when things get rocky. If you are not happy, then it’s time to figure out what it will take to get you there! Inside "Be Happy!", you will learn how you define happiness, the science of happiness, the risk of being a people pleaser, and how you can develop a happiness mindset. It will also explain why you may feel like you do not deserve happiness and will help you take steps to change your thought processes. Learn how to find your passion and purpose, how to turn a bad situation around, and how to embrace change. Filled with wonderful analogies, this book will help you take steps to start improving your life, right now. Towards the end, you’ll learn a simple self-hypnosis technique and how to share the love with the "pink bubble" and start changing your life today, one conscious decision after another. Get started with your new, happy life you deserve by picking up "Be Happy! How to Stop Negative Thinking, Start Focusing on the Positive, and Create Your Happiness Mindset" today!
