Описание: Of course I want a home, writes Mary Elizabeth Williams, I'm American. Gimme Shelter is the first book to reveal how this primal desire, encoded into our cultural DNA, drove our nation to extremes, from the heights of an unprecedented housing boom to the depths of an unparalleled crash. As a writer and parent in New York City, Williams is careful to ground her real-estate dreams in the reality of her middle-class bank account. Yet as a person who knows no other way to fall in love than at first sight, her relationship with the nation's most daunting housing market is a passionate one. Williams's house-hunting fantasy quickly morphs into a test of endurance, as her search for a place to live and a mortgage she can afford stretches into a three-year odyssey that takes her to the farthest reaches of the boroughs and the limits of her own patience. Welcome to the tracks, she declares at the outset of yet another weekend tour of blindingly bad, wildly overpriced properties. Let's go to the wrong side of them, shall we? As her own quest unfolds, Williams simultaneously reports on the housing markets nationwide. Friends and family members grapple with real estate agents and lenders, neighborhood and quality-of-life issues, all the while voicing common concerns, as expressed by this Maryland working parent of three: The market was so hot, there were no houses. We looked for years at places the owners wouldn't even clean, let alone fix up. How frustrating is the process? Williams likens it to hearing the opening bars of a song you think is 'Super Freak.' And then it turns out to be 'U Can't Touch This.' Told in an engaging blend of factfinding and memoir, Gimme Shelter charts the course of the real estate bubble as it floated ever upward, not with faceless numbers and documents but with the details of countless personal stories -- about the undeniable urge to put down roots and the lengths to which we'll go to find our way home.

Описание:
In what ways do Buddhists recognize, define, and sort waste from non-waste? What happens to Buddhist-related waste? How do new practices of Buddhist consumption result in new forms of waste and consequently new ways of dealing with waste?
This book explores these questions in a close examination of a religion that is often portrayed as anti-materialist and non-economic. It provides insight into the complexity of Buddhist consumption, conceptions of waste, and waste care. Examples include scripture that has been torn and cannot be read, or an amulet that has disintegrated, as well as garbage left behind on a pilgrimage, or the offerings of food and prayer scarves that create ecological contamination. Chapters cover mass-production and over-consumption, the wastefulness of consumerism, the by-products of Buddhist practices like rituals and festivals, and the impact of increased Buddhist consumption on religious practices and social relations. The book also looks at waste in terms of what is discarded, exploring issues of when and why particular objects and practices are sorted and handled as sacred and disposable. Contributors address how sacred materiality is destined to wear and decay, as well as ideas about redistribution, regeneration or recycling, and the idea of waste as afterlife.

Описание: Through These Eyes, is a collection of experiences and challenges in the form of stories during my nursing career that left an indelible mark upon my mind. Some of these experiences help to mold the way I saw my job and cared for my patients. Sometimes in executing one's job as a nurse was like weathering a storm. The medical situation could be very critical, the storm brutal, survival depended on your execution of the client's plan of care to save him/her and to save yourself. On days like that you really had to even breathe thoughtfully. Every day was a challenge to me. I prayed for guidance from a God who doesn't exist for so many but for me the, "I am" was my lifeline. He was here before knowledge; therefore there was never a situation I didn't trust him to help me assess and execute. I fought for every life that was put in my care as though my very existence depended on it. And you know what it did As a part of the Medical Profession Registered Nurses have adopted an oath to serve without harm.
