Issue 42 of Afterall addresses the crisis of representation in
contemporary art through the work of Pierre Huyghe and Tania
Bruguera, reflecting on how they each intervene into biological and
political systems. We also put a spotlight on the contributions of
two lesser-known women artists Indonesian Arahmaiani and Egyptian
Inji Efflatoun and their capacity to speak truth to power in their
respective contexts. Finally, accompanying essays include Charles
Esche on Chinese artist Li Mu, Diedrich Diederichsen on political
art, and an interview with Walter Benjamin.
In this remarkable new book, Dr. David Schnarch, world-renowned sex and marital therapist and author of Passionate Marriage, offers a groundbreaking approach to resolving sexual difficulties and the relationship problems they cause. By showing couples how they can turn their worst sex and relationship disasters into personal growth and spiritual connection, Dr. Schnarch offers couples the best sex of their lives. In addition to taking an unflinchingly honest, realistic, and erotic approach to sex, Dr. Schnarch reveals the complicated emotional interactions hidden within couples' most private moments. Resurrecting Sex speaks of compassion, partnership, generosity, and integrity in adult sexual relationships, offering hope to millions of people -- golden-anniversary marriages, newly formed couples, and singles alike -- who are struggling with sexual difficulties. Uplifting, provocative, and heartfelt, the book is organized into four sections: - A crash course in sex
- Explanation of how sexual relationships really work
- Medical options and bionic solutions
- Vignettes of couples changing their sexual relationships
Resurrecting Sex addresses all major sexual issues, including male erection problems such as rapid orgasm and delayed orgasm; women's problems with arousal and lubrication, difficulty reaching orgasm, and low desire; full coverage of Viagra (for both men and women); and other sex-enhancing drugs and medical options. Rather than dwelling on sexual techniques, this sympathetic book shows how to cure the rejection, hostility, and emotional alienation that often accompany sexual problems. Its unique method helps couples develop the love, affection, and commitment that prevent divorce and strengthen families. Generous of spirit, enlightened, and insightful, Resurrecting Sex is destined to make the world a better place to fall in love.
This is a guide to the teaching of computing and coding in primary
schools, and an exploration of how children develop their
computational thinking. It covers all areas of the National
Curriculum for primary computing and offers insight into effective
teaching. The text considers three strands of computer science,
digital literacy and information technology. The teaching of coding
is especially challenging for primary teachers, so it highlights
learning on this, giving practical examples of how this can be
taught. For all areas of the computing curriculum the text also
provides guidance on planning age-appropriate activities with
step-by-step guides and details of educationally appropriate
software and hardware. This book helps you to connect what you need
to teach with how it can be taught, and opens up opportunities in
the new curriculum for creative and imaginative teaching. It also
includes the full National Curriculum Programme of Study for
Computing, key stages 1 and 2 as a useful reference for trainee
teachers.
Family Hiking in the Smokies is specifically geared toward taking
children on excursions into the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park-the most visited national park in the United States. The park
offers much to its nearly ten million annual visitors. For families
who seek fun along with educational recreation, the park boasts
splendid views and enormous biological diversity. While the
guidebook concentrates on shorter day hikes, the book also presents
longer trails for overnight or weekend camping. Organized by
regions of the park, the forty-two concise trail descriptions
include many of the most popular destinations, such as Ramsey
Cascades, Grotto Falls, and Clingmans Dome Tower, as well as
overlooked gems such as Midnight Hole, Lynn Camp Prong, and Juney
Whank Falls. This fifth edition includes new trails not found in
the book's previous editions, and all are presented in a
user-friendly format. This delightful volume also includes specific
advice regarding safety, trail difficulty, and keeping children's
attention. In addition, Family Hiking in the Smokies provides
interesting educational sidebars about fauna, folklore, and
material culture along the way. This book, based on the experiences
of three expert hikers who have walked with their own children and
grandchildren in the park, will provide parents and grandparents
with a perfect guide for establishing an adult/child bond with the
natural world. HAL HUBBS, CHARLES MAYNARD, AND DAVID MORRIS are
longtime East Tennessee residents who have hiked together and with
their families for many years. The three friends formed Panther
Press, which originally published Waterfalls and Cascades of the
Great Smoky Mountains, along with many other titles on natural
history, particularly in the Smokies. Hal, Charles, and David have
worked as volunteers in the Smokies and have hiked in many national
parks throughout the country.
This book explores the role of students' involvement in teacher
professional development. Building upon a research study whereby
pupils instruct their teachers in the use of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT), the author argues that using
student voice in this way can result in transformational learning
for all those involved. The author presents the processes and
experiences of pupils taking on the role of educators as well as
the experiences of the teachers receiving such professional
development from their students. In doing so, he promotes the
innovative use of a student voice initiative to support teaching
and learning, with the overarching purpose of improving and
transforming teacher-pupil relationships. This book will be of
interest and value to students and scholars of pupil voice, teacher
professional development and transformational learning.
In the 1800s, a shepherd's hut or living van would have been an
unremarkable sight in many regions of rural Britain. By the 1970s
most lay abandoned as farming methods and industry left them
behind. Today the humble shepherd's hut is making a comeback and
these quirky collectors' items are fast developing a cult status of
their own. Original huts and living vans command high sums and
replica huts are being built in high numbers to satisfy demand.
However, many who see one, have one or want one know little of
their origin or the differences between them. This beautifully
illustrated book explores the differences and takes a look behind
the door at what living and operating in these small mobile spaces
was really like.
This collection is the first extended investigation of the
relation between time and memory in Maurice Merleau-Ponty's thought
as a whole as well as the first to explore in depth the
significance of his concept of institution. It brings the French
phenomenologist's views on the self and ontology into contemporary
focus. "Time, Memory, Institution" argues that the self is not a
self-contained or self-determining identity, as such, but is
gathered out of a radical openness to what is not self, and that it
gathers itself in a time that is not merely a given dimension, but
folds back upon, gathers, and institutes itself.
Access to previously unavailable texts, in particular
Merleau-Ponty's lectures on institution and expression, has
presented scholars with new resources for thinking about time,
memory, and history. These essays represent the best of this new
direction in scholarship; they deepen our understanding of self and
world in relation to time and memory; and they give occasion to
reexamine Merleau-Ponty's contribution and relevance to
contemporary Continental philosophy.
This volume is essential reading for scholars of phenomenology and
French philosophy, as well as for the many readers across the arts,
humanities, and social sciences who continue to draw insight and
inspiration from Merleau-Ponty.

Only six years after man had successfully flown for the first time
with controlled, powered flight in 1903, the Royal Navy could
already see the potential of taking flying machines to sea.
Initially used to extend the view from the ship's crow's nest, the
aircraft at sea would become one of the most influential strides
forward in the history of the Royal Navy. From aircraft and
technology to training, language and recreation, the flying branch
of the Royal Navy has long had its own specific set of objects,
rules and traditions. Delving in to the official archives of the
Fleet Air Arm Museum and the wider National Museum of the Royal
Navy, David Morris tells this incredible story through a selection
of 100 significant objects.
Whether jutting skyward, or languishing in the murky depths of the
deep, rocks and sediments hold our little planet together. In The
Geology Book, creationist author Dr. John Morris takes the reader
on a tour of the earth's crust, pointing out both the natural
beauty and the scientific evidences for creation. Profusely
illustrated, this book presents an accurate view of earth's natural
history.
