Love Daddy

By: Stephen Grealy,Sandra Spencer

This book is recommended for parents and family, social service agencies, military personnel, church groups, educators, foster carers, and bereavement support groups to assist kids and adults with separation anxiety or the loss or passing of our children’s loved ones. The book’s goal is the help heal children and all our readers. Social workers, parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters have all agreed that that I am Here is a great story to assist kids in coping with the pain of separating from their loved ones. In this beautiful, illustrated poem for children of all ages with its whimsical illustrations they learn that they are never alone. It's a somewhat crazy world we live in today. You cannot always be physically present with those you love due to many reasons such as: Armed Services deployment, FIFO jobs, divorced with kids, time away from home or someone you love has recently passed away. I am Here is a story that takes children on a journey of discovery, where they learn that whatever activity they are doing like running, jumping, or simply sleeping that their loved one are there with them. I am here is a lifelong journey of the enduring spirit of love that connects us all and those you love beyond time and space.

Saving Face

Enfacement, Shame, Theology

By: Stephen Pattison

Faces are all around us and fundamentally shape both everyday experience and our understanding of people. To lose face is to be alienated and experience shame, to be enfaced is to enjoy the fullness of life. In theology as in many other disciplines faces, as both physical phenomena and symbols, have not received the critical, appreciative attention they deserve. This pioneering book explores the nature of face and enfacement, both human and divine. Pattison discusses questions concerning what face is, how important face is in human life and relationships, and how we might understand face, both as a physical phenomenon and as a series of socially-inflected symbols and metaphors about the self and the body. Examining what face means in terms of inclusion and exclusion in contemporary human society and how it is related to shame, Pattison reveals what the experience of people who have difficulties with faces tell us about our society, our understandings of, and our reactions to face. Exploring this ubiquitous yet ignored area of both contemporary human experience and of the Christian theological tradition, Pattison explains how Christian theology understands face, both human and divine, and the insights might it offer to understanding face and enfacement. Does God in any sense have a physically visible face? What is the significance of having an enfaced or faceless God for Christian life and practice? What does the vision of God mean now? If we want to take face and defacing shame seriously, and to get them properly into perspective, we may need to change our theology, thought and practice - changing our ways of thinking about God and about theology.

Letters to Borges

By: Stephen Kuusisto

Best-selling memoirist Stephen Kuusisto uses the themes of travel, place, religion, music, art, and loneliness to explore the relationship between seeing, blindness, and being. In poems addressed to Jorge Luis Borges--another poet who lived with blindness--Kuusisto leverages seeing as negative capability, creating intimacy with deep imagination and uncommon perceptions.

What Doesn't Kill Us

The New Psychology of Posttraumatic Growth

By: Stephen Joseph

Surviving a traumatic experience is difficult and takes time to move on from, but this book makes the argument that with proper care and understanding, survivors can grow and reshape their lives in a positive way. For the past twenty years, pioneering psychologist Stephen Joseph has worked with survivors of trauma. His studies have yielded a startling discovery: that a wide range of traumatic events-from illness, divorce, separation, assault, and bereavement to accidents, natural disasters, and terrorism-can act as catalysts for positive change. Boldly challenging the conventional wisdom about trauma and its aftermath, Joseph demonstrates that rather than ruining one's life, a traumatic event can actually improve it. Drawing on the wisdom of ancient philosophers, the insights of evolutionary biologists, and the optimism of positive psychologists, What Doesn't Kill Us reveals how all of us can navigate change and adversity- traumatic or otherwise-to find new meaning, purpose, and direction in life.

The Challenge to AI

Consciousness and Ecological General Intelligence

By: Stephen Robbins

This book invites readers to explore the intricate world where AI, consciousness, and human cognition intersect. This groundbreaking book considers the profound differences between man and machine, challenging existing notions in AI and cognitive science. It argues that the key to understanding intelligence lies not in software, but in the hardware of our brain - a complex biochemical system far removed from current AI architectures. Through a deep examination of time, perception, language, and the nature of thought, the book presents a compelling case for the indispensability of biology and consciousness in cognition. To achieve this, to engineer this, will indeed be a challenge for AI. FEATURES Presents an alternative to the conventional computer metaphor, offering a new framework for understanding the mind Introduces a fresh perspective on the role of time in AI and philosophy, highlighting its critical importance Explores the biochemical basis of cognition, challenging the traditional focus on symbol manipulation and neural networks
