This interdisciplinary book critically studies the processes of
making art and creative arts education in the post-digital era.
Drawing from fields such as Philosophy and Pedagogy, it demarcates
a meaningful understanding of what it is to make art and things,
and to teach artmaking in this contemporary landscape. The book
develops and articulates a phenomenology of aesthetic practices
within the post-digital era and covers themes such as the aesthetic
practices of making and the experience of an aesthetic act through
a digital interface. Chapters also suggest new didactic approaches
to understanding and creating form as an integral part of creative
arts education in the post-digital era, and analyses creative arts
pedagogy research in this light. The experience of materials and
space, both real and virtual, are presented for theoretical
reflection throughout the book. This book will be of interest to
scholars working in aesthetics, art, design, public art/public
space, art education, digital culture, and human-computer
interaction studies.
This book provides a key analysis of the development of the
Catholic Church in Taiwan, and considers the challenges it faces in
contemporary times. It examines how the 1949 revolution in Mainland
China brought a great number of Chinese intellectuals to Taiwan and
provided the Taiwan Catholic Church with valuable human asset for
theological and liturgical indigenization. This volume considers
different aspects of the development of the Taiwan Catholic Church
in the context of indigenization, and examines how the
multi-faceted aspects of Catholicism in the Taiwan Catholic Church
are revealed through history, philosophy, social science,
linguistics, music and literature.
This book provides a ground breaking interdisciplinary study of the
Catholic Church in Taiwan, focusing on the post 1949 Civil War in
China through to the present day, and discusses the role played by
the Catholic Church in contemporary Taiwanese society. It considers
the situation of the Catholic church of Taiwan during the Japanese
Occupation, Taiwan-Vatican Relations from 1949 onwards and
triangular Relations among the Vatican, Taiwan and China during
Tsai Ing-wen's Administration. Written from a wide range of
perspectives, from history and international relations to
literature, philosophy, and education, this volume offers an
important perspective on the birth and development of the Catholic
Church in Taiwan, contributing a key work to religious studies in
the Greater China Region.

This book offers the policy-maker or decision-maker key insights
and practical information regarding the features of ethics
frameworks best suited to the ethical assessment of human cognitive
enhancement (HCE) applications, such as pharmaceutical cognitive
enhancers and noninvasive brain stimulation techniques. This book
takes as its departure point the entrenched philosophical debate
between opponents and proponents of HCE and the increased
feasibility of some applications of HCE. Recent calls for
policy-making in the area of human enhancement reflect the need to
find a balance between addressing current ethical issues and issues
that are more speculative in nature or are underpinned by abstract
philosophical concepts. Practical ethical approaches for policy or
decision-making should enable the development of an evidence base
for the risks and benefits of HCE applications. Moreover, such
practical approaches should also incorporate a broader range of
value bases that would facilitate convergence regarding certain
decisions and judgements. This book identifies and evaluate tools
that help us to go beyond polarised philosophical debates in order
to assist practical decision makers in concrete ethical
deliberation and decision-making. The focus is on systematic
methods with which to identify relevant ethical values and assess
the impacts of an HCE application on those values in order to
facilitate decision-making regarding the ethical acceptability or
desirability of the application.

A compact resource with a personal Foreword by speech-language
pathologist Cindy Spillers, Ph.D., "Relief From Stuttering" offers
direction and support to individuals working on their own or in
collaboration with specialists to speak with greater ease and to
those who help guide them and presents a layered view of stuttering
problems to help family, friends, and acquaintances realize more
fully what it can mean to have a stuttering problem and what can be
involved resolving one. More than that, "Relief From Stuttering"
reflects the widely expressed recognition that it is possible to
experience ease by assimilating rather than resisting what we fear.
Inspirational in tone, practical in application this compilation of
12 papers presented at International Stuttering Awareness Day
Conferences for people with stuttering problems and professionals
alike from 2000 to 2012 by Ellen-Marie Silverman, Ph.D.,
speech-language pathologist and Fellow of the American
Speech-Language-Hearing Association, includes "My Personal
Experience with Stuttering and Meditation," "Creating Conditions
for Change," "My Stuttering is Me," "Doing the Work," "What to
Expect from Mindfulness," and the deeply reflective, "Why Seek
Therapy." The papers plus commentary on each written especially for
this book highlight Honoring Self-Worth, Fearlessly Facing Fear,
Charting a Path of Change, and Using Helpful Assessment Metrics as
requisite elements of experiencing desired change. Through "Relief
From Stuttering," Dr. Ellen-Marie Silverman, who has had a
stuttering problem and who has been helping people with stuttering
problems speak more as they wish for more than 40 years, identifies
a sustainable infra-structure to support the intent and process of
speaking with greater ease and doing so more consistently. She is
the author of "Mindfulness & Stuttering. Using Eastern
Strategies to Speak with Greater Ease."
Mindfulness & Stuttering provides information to help the
reader decide whether or not mindfulness may be a congenial
strategy to help resolve a stuttering problem. Recent research
verifies that mindfulness, a means to greater self-awareness and
well-being practiced for more than 2,500 years, facilitates desired
personal change. From reducing stress to lessening negative
self-talk and by improving the ability to learn new skills,
practicing mindfulness leads to living with greater ease.
Ellen-Marie Silverman, Ph.D., a speech pathologist for more than 40
years and a Fellow of the American Speech-Hearing-Language
Association, has been practicing mindfulness for more than 16 years
and has used the practice with her own stuttering problem to speak
and communicate with greater ease. In Mindfulness & Stuttering,
she addresses questions and concerns people may have about the
practice of mindfulness and its application to stuttering problems
and describes the use of six mindfulness techniques ---
shamatha-vipassana, working with shenpa, maitri, lojong, using
gatha's, and tonglen --- as secular practices. She shows how
mindfulness can help address two concerns people with a covert or
overt stuttering problem may have, Fear of Stuttering and
Struggling to Speak, and offers suggestions for constructively
managing impatience, boredom, and relapse, obstacles that can arise
when learning to speak with greater ease. Dr. Silverman is the
author of Relief From Stuttering. Laying the Groundwork to Speak
with Greater Ease.

catechetical process for the formation of a ministry team to share
"our common treasure" of faith with parents preparing for their
infant's baptism. This book is for pastors, pastoral staff,
