'A truly transformative read' Sunday Times STYLE 'More than ever,
we need books like this' Jessica Seaton, Co-Founder of Toast and
author of Gather, Cook, Feast A whole new way of looking at the
world - and your life - inspired by centuries-old Japanese wisdom.
Wabi sabi ("wah-bi sah-bi") is a captivating concept from Japanese
aesthetics, which helps us to see beauty in imperfection,
appreciate simplicity and accept the transient nature of all
things. With roots in zen and the way of tea, the timeless wisdom
of wabi sabi is more relevant than ever for modern life, as we
search for new ways to approach life's challenges and seek meaning
beyond materialism. Wabi sabi is a refreshing antidote to our
fast-paced, consumption-driven world, which will encourage you to
slow down, reconnect with nature, and be gentler on yourself. It
will help you simplify everything, and concentrate on what really
matters. From honouring the rhythm of the seasons to creating a
welcoming home, from reframing failure to ageing with grace, wabi
sabi will teach you to find more joy and inspiration throughout
your perfectly imperfect life. This book is the definitive guide to
applying the principles of wabi sabi to transform every area of
your life, and finding happiness right where you are.
Throughout its entire history, the discipline of anthropology has
been perceived as undermining, or even discrediting, Christian
faith. Many of its most prominent theorists have been agnostics who
assumed that ethnographic findings and theories had exposed
religious beliefs to be untenable. E. B. Tylor, the founder of the
discipline in Britain, lost his faith through studying
anthropology. James Frazer saw the material that he presented in
his highly influential work, The Golden Bough, as demonstrating
that Christian thought was based on the erroneous thought patterns
of 'savages.' On the other hand, some of the most eminent
anthropologists have been Christians, including E. E.
Evans-Pritchard, Mary Douglas, Victor Turner, and Edith Turner.
Moreover, they openly presented articulate reasons for how their
religious convictions cohered with their professional work. Despite
being a major site of friction between faith and modern thought,
the relationship between anthropology and Christianity has never
before been the subject of a book-length study. In this
groundbreaking work, Timothy Larsen examines the point where doubt
and faith collide with anthropological theory and evidence.
In "The Dynamic Concept of Philosophical Mathematics," author
Anthony Ugochukwu O. Aliche delves deeply into a comprehensive
discussion into the intertwined relationship between philosophy and
mathematics. Aliche begins by defining philosophical mathematics
and traces its origins and its branches. He then relates the
concept to the worlds of science, engineering, technology, creative
and applied arts, and human existence.
In this systemic, practical and research-driven work, Aliche
presents innovative interpretations of mathematical and
philosophical issues and reexamines their relevance and
applicability to modern developments. He also proposes abolishing
most ancient and primordial mathematical policies and formulas, as
they are not helping the world of science and technology to
grow.
Presenting principles, practices, and theories, "The Dynamic
Concept of Philosophical Mathematics" demystifies the oracle of
mathematics and communicates that knowledge is power and must
therefore be progressive. He equally insisted that the progressive
nature of knowledge which must be God-driven fundamentally
fulcrumed the demystification of QED which he replaced with the
Infinitude Method which scientifically agrees with the progressive
dynamism of knowledge.
"A product of seasoned scholarship, natural wisdom, empirical
research, and inspired originality. It is perhaps one of the most
sophisticated intellectual inputs to the world of knowledge"
The challenge of state formation and national integration is
evident, and the need for a solution is even more demanding in
places like Africa where nation states were formed under very
special historical circumstances. In Perspectives on Nation-State
Formation in Contemporary Africa, author Godknows Boladei Igali
presents a digest that examines the challenges of state formation
and national integration in Africa and off ers preferred solutions
within the context of the symbolic diversities. In this study,
Igali outlines the immediate context and challenges of national
integration in Africa in its human dimension. He reviews the
political formations of ancient Africa-which varied in size,
philosophical premise, and organisational structures-and discusses
partition, military invasions, conquest, and colonisation. He then
addresses colonial rule or administration, African nationalism, and
decolonisation and analyses the process of nation-state formation
in post-independent Africa from the perspective of the political
systems and ideologies Reviewing a wide range of time from ancient
times through the colonial period and since independence, this
survey discusses the processes of national integration and
nation-state formation in Africa, providing perspectives that
deepen the understanding of these nation-building processes.
