Music as a Model for Metaphysics

The Sound of Ontology

Rylant has always had a fondness for animals (and the Beatles!), and here she has created a sweet story about the five &ldquo;fab&rdquo; fish that live in a girl&rsquo;s large sparkling aquarium. For the fish, every day is &ldquo;heaven.&rdquo; They love the diver, the bubbles, and the pirate ship that decorate their tank. Bad days only occur when the little girl cleans the tank; however, after one cleaning day, they get three special surprises&mdash;two new fish (a clownfish and an angelfish) and a fairy castle. However, one of the fish immediately gets trapped in the castle, and it is up to an overlooked snail that also lives in the tank to save the day. Children will enjoy the rhyming names of the fish, the repetition (plop, plop), the multitude of exclamation marks, and the use of oversize words at critical points in the story. Austin&rsquo;s bright and colorful cartoons complement the bouncy text well. The original fish have expressive eyes, front fins that almost look like hands, and bright pink lips. The face of the snail, when he realizes that he can be the hero, is a wonderful blend of charming, goofy, and gross. Finally, Austin sets off scenes that take place in the tank with swirls of blue paint and bubblelike circles on the edges while using a plain white background for scenes outside of the tank. VERDICT A cheerful, engaging story, perfect for reading aloud to younger children.

Aus: socialnet – Katharina Meyer – 01.08.2022
[…] Fazit: Das Buch von Pothmann/Schmidt ist ein übersichtliches, logisch strukturiertes und auf die elementaren Grundlagen heruntergebrochenes Einführungswerk in die komplexen Themen von Institutionen und Organisationen in der Sozialen Arbeit. Es sollte m.E. möglichst quantitativen Einzug in Studierenden- und Praktiker:innenhaushalte finden. Allgemein braucht sich das Autorenteam mit seinem Einführungswerk in der Bandreihe nicht verstecken..

Named One of PUBLISHERS WEEKLY&rsquo;s TOP 10 Summer Reads of 2017Named One of PUREWOW's&#160;Top 8 Summer Reads of 2017Named One of VALET MAGAZINE's Best Books of Summer 2017 &#160;"This novel, set in the booming economic years of&#160;Tuscany&#160;in the 1970s, follows three men all involved in building a textile factory. But it&rsquo;s so much more than that&mdash;a saga of their wives, ambitions, politics, desires&mdash;that it invites fairly apt comparisons to Elena Ferrante, a kind of a male version of her&#160;Neapolitan Novels."&#160;&mdash;CONDE NAST TRAVELER&ldquo;A perfect 2017 beach book&hellip;Beautifully translated by Alice Kilgarrif, the novel is about the passion for life&#160;and&#160;business felt by three very different Italian men who come together to create an innovative factory that is meant to be as striking as the fabric it produces. The book is an entertainment with substance that often recalls the lush, erotic delights of Luca Guadagnino&rsquo;s gorgeous 2010 film about an Italian family business dynasty, &lsquo;I Am Love.&rsquo; &hellip;Nesi&rsquo;s novel teems with life and passion, as well as nostalgia for a not-so-long-ago political and pop culture era.&rdquo; &mdash;CONNECTICUT POST"Read it, then book a ticket to Tuscany ASAP." &mdash;PUREWOW"Italian writer and politician Nesi introduces readers to the Italy of the 1970s, decades after the economic downfall of WWII, when a rebounding country is bright and hopeful again. Drawing on his real-life experiences in the textile industry, Nesi charts the growth of this new Italy through the founding of a grand textile company...A love letter to Italy...A testosterone-fueled tale of triumph in a changing world."&#160;&mdash;PUBLISHERS WEEKLY &ldquo;A bubbling&hellip;tribute to manufacturing, production, and the wonders of capitalism.&rdquo; &mdash;KIRKUS REVIEWS"I love this novel so much! Nesi, the prolific, award-winning writer, translator, politician, and filmmaker, has recreated Tuscany in the 1970s, a time when business and creativity boomed. The story revolves around the visionary, hyper Ivo Barracciai, son of an artisan, his dream of building the most fabulous textile factory in the world, and the contractor and construction foreman who make it happen. Lots of rich and wonderful architectural and craftsman description, corruption, love and family scenarios, Italian genius and craziness. Very funny, but deeply affecting&mdash;evokes&#160;&ldquo;The Sopranos&rdquo;&#160;and the novels of Elena Ferrante. A don't-miss."&#160;&mdash;Lisa Howorth, SQUARE BOOKS (Oxford, MS)

&ldquo;Robert Graef has given us an essential lexicon and field guide of ignorance, a most slippery and multidimensional concept. Rich in history and philosophical analysis, this work should be required reading in the classroom and the boardroom, in book clubs and around the dinner table. A national conversation about what we do and do not know, should and should not know, and can and cannot know, and the dangers and pitfalls of not knowing the differences.&rdquo;  &#160; &mdash;Bill Vitek, coeditor of The Virtues of Ignorance: Complexity, Sustainability, and the Limits of Knowledge&ldquo;Boldly but humanely, Robert Graef&#160;explores how ignorance is a comprehensive force and an existential danger. Wide-ranging, conscientious, and compellingly well researched, filled with apt examples and vivid metaphors, Ignorance is the most thoughtful book of its kind that I&rsquo;ve ever read. In confronting ignorance, Graef has struck a social and historical mother lode, a topic that is at once profound and amusing, specific and inexhaustible. He has set forth on a philosophical marathon and arrived at the finish line without losing his breath. This is a book to cherish. It should be on the bookshelves of anyone who aspires to social consciousness.&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Robert Grudin, author of American Vulgar&ldquo;This is an entertaining map of human ignorance and the threats it poses. It&rsquo;s witty and chock-full of pithy examples. Given the rising tide of BS and ignorance, it couldn&rsquo;t be timelier. Highly recommended.&rdquo; &mdash;Stephen Law, lecturer in philosophy, Heythrop College, University of London, and author of Believing Bullshit&ldquo;A creative, insight-packed ramble through the vast world of what we don&rsquo;t know.&rdquo; &#160; &mdash;Robert N.

"The Treasury of Knowledge excellently presents the entire corpus of the sutra and mantra traditions from the paths of the common sciences all the way up to the uncommon Great Perfection or Atiyoga, which is the culmination of the nine vehicles."&mdash;H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche  "Jamg&ouml;n Kongtr&uuml;l Lodr&ouml; Tay&eacute; was one of the leading scholars of the nineteenth century. He broke through sectarian constraints and achieved a deep understanding of the the different philosophical approaches in Tibet. I have no doubt that by studying Kongtrul's works readers will be inspired to emulate his great qualities of humility, dedication, patience, and nonsectarianism."&mdash;H.H. the Dalai Lama  "Jamg&ouml;n Kongtr&uuml;l was a true saint, a great scholar, an exemplary teacher, a renowned physician, a peacemaker, and one of the most prolific writers of Tibet."&mdash;Ringu Tulku  "Jamg&ouml;n Kongtr&uuml;l is considered to be one of the great leaders of the nonsectarian movement in Tibetan Buddhism and his Treasury of Knowledge is considered to be one of the most important texts for reference and study in Tibetan Buddhism. Many Tibetan teachers have a compact edition of this monumental work in their travel bags in order to consult it again and again for detailed questions of all types, and not infrequently whole chapters serve as the basis for courses."&mdash;Cornelia Weishaar-Gunter   "These three vows or systems of ethics are essentially identical to the three forms of training on the Buddhist path: the development of morality, meditation, and wisdom, and embrace all forms of spiritual practice set forth in the Buddhist doctrine."&mdash;His Holiness Sakya Trizin  "A clearly structured and lucid exposition of the qualities of spiritual teachers and their students as well as of the ethical systems of Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana Buddhism."&mdash;Choice  "This eminently accessible book is recommended to comparative ethicists as well as to a general audience."&mdash;Religious Studies Review   "Upon seeing the Treasury of Knowledge, the first Khyentse Rinpoche (a contemporary of Lodr&ouml; Thay&eacute;) said that it was so inclusive of all knowledge that it did not seem to be composed by a human being but must have been written through the blessing of the dakinis."&mdash;Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche  "In his monumental Treasury of Knowledge, [Jamg&ouml;n Kongtr&uuml;l] presents a complete account of the major lines of thought and practice that comprise Tibetan Buddhism. . . . By studying Kongtr&uuml;l's works, readers will be inspired to emulate his great qualities of humility, dedication, patience, and nonsectarianism."&mdash;The Indian International Journal of Buddhist Studies     "Both the Tibetan original and the English translation are exemplary in their lucidity. . . . An incredible resource for all serious students of Tibetan Buddhism."&mdash;Georg Feuerstein, PhD, author of The Encyclopedia of Yoga and Tantra

"Don Cohen has done an excellent job of presenting an overview of the various diagnostic, evaluative, and therapeutic approaches to the cranium, the sacrum, the dura matter envelope, and the fluid which it encloses. He is one of those rare individuals who has a real and true sense of the human body and what it is about. He also has a deep appreciation of the fact that the human body is not living in isolation. He knows both intellectually and intuitively about the interrelations between spirit, mind, and body."-John E. Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., Founder, Upledger Institute, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

Der vierte Band der gro&szlig;en "Deutschen Gesellschaftsgeschichte" behandelt
die Epoche von 1914 bis 1949, umspannt also die beiden Weltkriege, die
Zerst&ouml;rung der Weimarer Republik, die F&uuml;hrerdiktatur Hitlers, den Holocaust
und die Nachkriegsjahre bis zur Gr&uuml;ndung der beiden deutschen Neustaaten.
Erneut werden Wirtschaft und Sozialstruktur, politische Herrschaft und
Kultur als die dominierenden Dimensionen der deutschen Gesellschaft in
ihrer historischen Entwicklung analysiert. Der erste Abschnitt stellt neben
der milit&auml;rischen Entwicklung die sozial&ouml;konomischen und ideenpolitischen
Konstellationen w&auml;hrend des Ersten Weltkriegs dar. Insbesondere geht es
um die Spannungen im politischen System und in der deutschen Klassengesellschaft
bis hin zur Revolution von 1918. Der zweite Abschnitt verfolgt die kurze
Geschichte der ersten deutschen Republik, der trotz ihrer hohen Anfangsbelastungen
die Konsolidierung zu gelingen schien. Doch unter dem zerst&ouml;rerischen Anprall
der Weltwirtschaftskrise seit 1929, dem Druck der beiden radikalen Fl&uuml;gelparteien,
NSDAP und KPD, und der auf eine autorit&auml;re L&ouml;sung dr&auml;ngenden Machteliten
zerfiel nicht nur das politische Institutionengef&uuml;ge, sondern auch die
Konsensbasis der Republik. Im Mittelpunkt des dritten Abschnitts steht
das "Dritte Reich". Im Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Sowjetunion und im Genozid
an den europ&auml;ischen Juden erreichte die Zerst&ouml;rungsf&auml;higkeit, die durch
Hitlers charismatische Herrschaft in der deutschen Gesellschaft freigesetzt
wurde, den Tiefpunkt eines "Zivilisationsbruchs". Allgemein zielt die Deutung
der F&uuml;hrerdiktatur darauf, die nationalsozialistischen Jahre nicht als
erratischen Block im historischen Proze&szlig; zu verfremden, sie vielmehr im
Zuge einer dezidierten Historisierung des Nationalsozialismus weithin in
die Kontinuit&auml;t der neueren deutschen Geschichte einzuordnen.
