by Pir Elias AmidonLove's Drum is an exquisite reflection on the nature of reality. With essays, practices and stories, the Sufi teacher Pir Elias Amidon leads us into the mysteries of nondual awareness, making clear its essence of unconditional acceptance.The eleventh century Sufi Abdullah Ansari suggested that Sufism is simply another word for love. In Amidon's words, it is ”what unites us with all being and becoming, and yet no matter how vast and inconceivable love is, it's still the most intimate nature of our present experience.”As he recounts events from his life, Amidon shows us the “open path” he follows—one of inclusion, lack of dogma, experiential understanding, and love in action. His life has been one of global activism in the areas of environmentalism, peace, and indigenous rights.Through quotes from mystics, poets, philosophers, and spiritual teachers; simple practices for everyone; uncommon perspectives on human life; and wonderful stories illustrating depths of wisdom, readers can have their own experience of limitless awareness and hear the subtle beating of love's drum.

Love, Beauty or Morality
by Alberto CastelliThis book is moved by two main questions. Is Love a matter of beauty or mortality? In other words, is love an ethical ideal? Also, modernity understood as the age of mechanical reproduction, has shaped not simply our cities but our very same way of feeling. How has our conception of love changed, if it has, in the past two centuries? This book is to address these questions. It is not to trace the evolution of the idea of love in Western culture, from Plato to the present day. It aims to bring to the surface different shades of love lingering at the heart of Western culture to rehabilitate the myth of love to its original credibility. Our confused civilization has split love into sensual and moral aspects but to be aware of it is perhaps to defeat a dilemma that seems so unnatural. This book is about how we make sense of our lives through love and how nineteenth and twentieth-century literature records it.

Love, Loss, and What We Ate: A Memoir
by Padma LakshmiLong before Padma Lakshmi ever stepped onto a television set, she learned that how we eat is an extension of how we love, how we comfort, how we forge a sense of home—and how we taste the world as we navigate our way through it. Shuttling between continents as a child, she lived a life of dislocation that would become habit as an adult, never quite at home in the world. And yet, through all her travels, her favorite food remained the simple rice she first ate sitting on the cool floor of her grandmother’s kitchen in South India. <p><p> Poignant and surprising, Love, Loss, and What We Ate is Lakshmi’s extraordinary account of her journey from that humble kitchen, ruled by ferocious and unforgettable women, to the judges’ table of Top Chef and beyond. It chronicles the fierce devotion of the remarkable people who shaped her along the way, from her headstrong mother who flouted conservative Indian convention to make a life in New York, to her Brahmin grandfather—a brilliant engineer with an irrepressible sweet tooth—to the man seemingly wrong for her in every way who proved to be her truest ally. A memoir rich with sensual prose and punctuated with evocative recipes, it is alive with the scents, tastes, and textures of a life that spans complex geographies both internal and external. <p> Love, Loss, and What We Ate is an intimate and unexpected story of food and family—both the ones we are born to and the ones we create—and their enduring legacies.

Love, Sex, and Disability: The Pleasures of Care
by Sarah Smith RaineyRainey (women's studies, Bowling Green State U. , Ohio), whose late partner had multiple sclerosis, presents a study of relationships between disabled and nondisabled partners. Rather than dwell on popular culture and medical perspectives on such relationships, the author examines the complexities of care and sexual intimacy in pre-and post-disability couples in focus groups, in feminist, queer theory, and other postmodern frameworks. She concludes that feminist and disability activists/scholars need to develop new narratives that emphasize equality in such relationships. Methodological notes and an annotated list of the self-representations and articles analyzed are appended.

Love, Zac: Small-Town Football and the Life and Death of an American Boy
by Reid Forgrave"What an accomplishment. Brimming with compassion and insight, Reid Forgrave has written an artful and intimate portrait of a former high school football star that travels ambitiously into themes of masculinity, suffering, and the nature of a national obsession. Love, Zac is not just a vital contribution to the national conversation about traumatic brain injury in athletes, it&’s so beautifully written it belongs on the shelf alongside classic works of literary journalism.&” —Jeanne Marie Laskas, New York Times bestselling author of Concussion &“A monumental achievement of deep reporting and expert storytelling.&” —Michael Sokolove, author of The Last Temptation of Rick Pitino Zac Easter could be your neighbor, your classmate, your son. In December 2015, Zac Easter, a twenty-four-year-old from small-town Iowa, decided to take his own life rather than continue his losing battle against the traumatic brain injuries he had sustained as a no-holds-barred high school football player. For this deeply reported and powerfully moving true story, award-winning writer Reid Forgrave was given access to Zac&’s own diaries and was able to speak with Zac&’s family, friends, and coaches. He explores Zac&’s tight-knit, football-obsessed Midwestern community; he interviews leading brain scientists, psychologists, and sports historians; and he takes a deep dive into the triumphs and sins of the sports entertainment industry. Forgrave shows us how football mirrors America, from the fighting spirit the game has helped inscribe in our national character to the side effects of the traditional notions of manhood that it affirms. But above all, Love, Zac is a warning to parents and those entrusted with the care of our kids not to ignore concussions and warning signs of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). For parents struggling to decide whether to allow their kids to play football, this eye-opening, heart-wrenching, and ultimately inspiring story may be one of the most important books they will read.

Lovers and Livers
by Jacalyn DuffinCan a disease be an idea? A theory? Does disease exist without a patient to suffer from it?In Lovers and Livers, Jacalyn Duffin provides a lively overview of the ideas around disease. She introduces philosophical theories of disease and delves into the history of two distinct afflictions - one old, one new - which serve as examples to show how applying theory can uncover surprising aspects of the medical past and present. Written with humour and compassion, and using poignant examples from Duffin's own clinical experience, Lovers and Livers is based on a series of public lectures and innovates by utilizing audience participation and a wide variety of sources including art, poetry, literature, medical journals, newspapers. Duffin's first example of a disease concept - the now possibly defunct disease of Lovesickness - had its origins in the poetry of antiquity and its demise in twentieth-century scepticism, but Duffin argues that it may not be as passé as is generally thought. The second example is the new disease Hepatitis C. Duffin demonstrates that it too stems from ancient tradition and that it has been shaped by discoveries in virology and recent tragedies in transfusion medicine, as well as by legislators, journalists, and patients.In any given time and place, coherent concepts of disease emerge from combining social, cultural, legal, and scientific preoccupations with current epistemological priorities about what constitutes clear thinking. Lovers and Livers will be of special interest to scholars of history, philosophy, and medicine, as well as many others.
