the martial arts an impossibility... He became a world renowned

Being a "warrior" is not just about "being able to fight well."
Being a warrior is all about being willing to fight for the people
and the causes you care about. Being a warrior is all about Loving
people.
This is a story of the power of Will and the power of LOVE. This is
Stoney's message, "We save ourselves by saving the world. We save
the world by one kind word, one kind deed, one selfless act... The
power of Love holds back the gates of Hell. What is Hell, if not
the place where there is no LOVE?
I remember the first thing I ever said about Larry Stone... "That
guy doesn't know he is handicapped does he?" That was three decades
ago, and I still have not come up with a better summary of this
man's life."
Mark Edward Cody

Robert A. Rohm, Ph D

Il Paradiso is die hoogtepunt van Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) se driedelige werk. Hy gebruik van die aangrypendste metafore en vergelykings om sy reis te beskryf. Hy is sonder twyfel een van die briljantste digters ooit.
Cas Vos se vertaling is die eerste vertaling daarvan in digvorm in Afrikaans. Hy wend verrassende en sprankelende metafore en vergelykings in sy vertaling aan en hy vertaal al die Latynse himnes op ’n indrukwekkende wyse.
Die leser word uitgenooi om die reis na die Paradiso onder die klank van sange en lieflike beelde te onderneem. ‘n Youtube-opname deur Hennie Maas van beeld en klank vergesel die bundel. Die uitmuntende akteur Dawid Minnaar lees dele uit die vertaling voor. Die opname laat die leser van Il Paradiso die tersines visueel en klankryk ervaar.

The volume was developed to address conceptual, relational and
formational questions around the phenomena of creativity and
spirituality from a multidisciplinary perspective. We acknowledge
the complexity of each phenomenon, and the need for multiple
perspectives, in a number of ways. First, different chapters are
written from psychological, theological or philosophical
perspectives. Second, multiple research perspectives are considered
across empirical and phenomenological methods of inquiry. Finally,
multiple associations between creativity and spirituality are
evaluated. From such multiple perspectives the theme of this volume
emerges. Both creativity and spirituality are important for
individual and societal flourishing but we know little about
fostering both in the 21st century. Some ways of fostering them are
psychologically harmful and need to be avoided. New ways of
protecting people as they engage in creative and spiritual
endeavours are needed. In particular, formal training in both
creativity and spirituality within the sphere of higher education
should be developed in the light of current research. However, new
research that integrates multiple perspectives and examines
creativity and spirituality together is needed for training that
avoids harm and promotes individual and social flourishing. The
book will be valuable for educators in all disciplines of higher
education because it justifies and explicates training in
creativity and spirituality within all areas of higher education.
Further, it discusses how such training might best be included
within andragogical practice. The book will be useful for
researchers of creativity and spirituality because it gives an
overview of contemporary research issues and findings, and proposes
a new philosophical? theological perspective for integrative
research in these areas. Students in fields of creativity, theology
and spirituality will use the book as a synthesis of contemporary
theories and research relating to both creativity and spirituality
and for direction in post?graduate research. More broadly,
Christians and others who appreciate the creative and performing
arts will find much to challenge their thinking and deepen their
awareness of spirituality within human creativity.
This book takes a hemispheric approach to contemporary urban
intervention, examining urban ecologies, communication
technologies, and cultural practices in the twenty-first century.
It argues that governmental and social regimes of control and forms
of political resistance converge in speculation on disaster and
that this convergence has formed a vision of urban environments in
the Americas in which forms of play and imaginations of catastrophe
intersect in the vertical field. Schifani explores a diverse range
of resistant urban interventions, imagining the city as on the
verge of or enmeshed in catastrophe. She also presents a model of
ecocriticism that addresses aesthetic practices and forms of play
in the urban environment. Tracing the historical roots of such
tactics as well as mapping their hopes for the future will help the
reader to locate the impacts of climate change not only on the
physical space of the city, but also on the epistemological and
aesthetic strategies that cities can help to engender. This book
will be of great interest to students and scholars of Urban
Studies, Media Studies, American Studies, Global Studies, and the
broad and interdisciplinary field of Environmental Humanities.
Ensayo escrito en 1993. Es un estudio sobre la obra de Jose Ortega
y Gasset: "Unas lecciones de metafisica," acerca de la "Razon
vital" y la realidad radical, donde la vida es presencia que se
posee, es el fin ultimo hacia el que se mueve el pensamiento
metafisico teleologico de Ortega . La "vida" es el ambito en el que
se produce la interaccion funcional, dramatica del yo y sus
circinstancias. Manuel Dieguez Munoz, ha escrito varios ensayos
sobre Metafisica.
