Agricultural Digitization and Zhongyong Philosophy: Creating a Sustainable Circular Economy (Routledge Focus on Environment and Sustainability)
by Ye Li Yiyan Chen Hooi Hooi LeanThis interdisciplinary book combines digital technology with Eastern philosophy to examine how the concept of Zhongyong in Confucianism can be used to coordinate digital technology with sustainable agriculture. Zhongyong comes from the connotation of moderate and sustainable in ancient Chinese culture. It is with this concept in mind that this book presents a novel collaboration between philosophy and computer technology to explain how Zhongyong can play an important part in realizing agricultural digitization within a circular economy in order to help solve the current food crisis. The book examines two popular, yet contradictory, digital technologies—blockchain and the green data center. It showcases how the use of traditional Chinese Zhongyong can promote the decentralization of blockchain and the centralization of the green data center and explains the advantages of using both technologies simultaneously. The book puts forward a digital circular agricultural framework that embeds both blockchain and the green data center through an actual case study. While this book specifically focuses on agriculture, it also provides readers with a new perspective for thinking further on how to break down the disciplinary barriers between the social sciences and natural sciences. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of agriculture, digital technologies, circular economy, sustainable development, and Eastern philosophy.
Agridulce
by Shauna NiequistLa idea de Agridulce está cambiando mi forma de vivir, desentrañado y volviendo a entretejer la manera en que entiendo la vida. Agridulce es la idea de que en todas las cosas hay algo tronchado y algo hermoso, que hay un fragmento de claridad aun en las noches más oscuras, una sombra de esperanza en todo corazón quebrantado, y que el regocijo no es menos enriquecedor aun cuando contiene un poco de tristeza. Lo agridulce es la práctica de creer que realmente necesitamos lo amargo al mismo tiempo que lo dulce. Lo dulce es suficientemente sabroso, pero lo agridulce es hermoso, matizado, lleno de profundidad y complejidad. Lo agridulce es valioso, audaz realista. Lo agridulce la da un sabor especial a la vida.

Ahab's House of Horrors: A Historiographic Study of the Military Campaigns of the House of Omri (Studies in Biblical Archaeology, Geography, and History)
by David B. Schreiner Kyle R. GreenwoodReconciling biblical and extrabiblical history The extrabiblical testimony surrounding Israel's early history is difficult to assess and synthesize. But numerous sources emerging from the ninth century BC onward invite direct comparison with the biblical account. In Ahab's House of Horrors: A Historiographic Study of the Military Campaigns of the House of Omri, Kyle R. Greenwood and David B. Schreiner examine the historical records of Israel and its neighbors. While Scripture generally gives a bleak depiction of the Omride dynasty, extrabiblical evidence appears to tell another story. Inscriptions and archeological evidence portray a period of Israelite geopolitical influence and cultural sophistication. Rather than simply rejecting one source over another, Greenwood and Schreiner press beyond polarization. They propose a nuanced synthesis by embracing the complex dynamics of ancient history writing and the historical difficulties that surround the Omri dynasty. Ahab's House of Horrors is an important contribution to the ongoing discussion of biblical historiography and, specifically, to our understanding of 1–2 Kings and the Omri family.
Ahinsa: अहिंसा
by Dada Bhagwanइन छोटे-छोटे जीवों को मारना, वह द्रव्यहिंसा कहलाता है और किसी को मानसिक दुःख देना, किसी पर क्रोध करना, गुस्सा होना, वह सब भावहिंसा कहलाता है। लोग चाहे जितनी अहिंसा पाले, लेकिन अहिंसा इतनी आसानी से नहीं पाली जा सकती। और वास्तव में क्रोध-मान-माया-लोभ ही हिंसा हैं। द्रव्यहिंसा कुदरत के लिखे अनुसार ही चलती है। इसमें किसी का चले, ऐसा नहीं है। इसलिए भगवान ने तो क्या कहा है कि सबसे पहले, खुद को कषाय नहीं हो, ऐसा करना। क्योंकि ये क्रोध-मान-माया-लोभ, वे सबसे बड़ी हिंसा हैं। द्रव्यहिंसा हो तो भले हो, लेकिन भाव हिंसा नहीं होनी चाहिए। लेकिन लोग तो द्रव्यहिंसा रोकते हैं और भाव हिंसा तो चलती ही रहती है। इसलिए किसी ने निश्चित किया हो कि “मुझे तो मारने ही नहीं हैं” तो भाग्य में कोई मरने नहीं आता। अब वैसे तो उसने स्थूल हिंसा बंद कर दी, कि मुझे किसी जीव को मारना ही नहीं है। लेकिन बुद्धि से मारना, ऐसा निश्चित किया, तो उसका बाज़ार खुला ही रहता है। तब वहाँ कीट पतंगे टकराते रहते हैं। और वह भी हिंसा ही है न! अहिंसा के बारे में इस काल के ज्ञानी, परम पूज्य दादाश्री के श्रीमुख से निकली हुई वाणी, इस ग्रंथ में संकलित की गई है। इसमें हिंसा और अहिंसा – दोनों के तमाम रहस्यों से पर्दा हटाया है।

Ahinsa: અહિંસા
by Dada Bhagwanપ્રાણીઓ, જીવજંતુ અને નાના જીવોને મારવા તે દ્રવ્ય હિંસા છે. અને બીજાને માનસિક સંતાપ આપવો, બીજા ઉપર ક્રોધ કરવો તે ભાવ હિંસા છે. માણસ ખૂબ જ પ્રયત્ન કરે છતાંપણ અહિંસક રહેવું અઘરું છે. હકીકત માં ક્રોધ, મિથ્યાભિમાન, આસક્તિ, લોભ એ ખરી હિંસા છે. દ્રવ્ય હિંસા કુદરતના કાયદા પ્રમાણે ચાલ્યા કરે છે અને તે કોઈના વશમાં નથી. કષાય ( ખરાબ ભાવ, વર્તન કે વાણી ) એ સૌથી મોટી હિંસા છે અને તેથી ભગવાને કહ્યું કે સૌથી વધારે મહત્વનું કષાય ન કરવા તે છે. આ પ્રકારની હિંસા એટલે સ્વ હિંસા અથવા ભાવ હિંસા. જો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા થાય, તો તેને થવા દો, પરંતુ કોઈપણ સંજોગો માં ભાવ હિંસા ના થવા દેવી જોઈએ. તેને બદલે લોકો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવાના પ્રયત્નો કરે છે અને ભાવ હિંસા કર્યે રાખે છે. જો કોઈ વ્યક્તિ પોતાના મનમાં નિશ્ચય કરે કે કોઈપણ સંજોગોમાં તે કોઈ જીવ ને નહિ મારે તો તે કોઈપણ જીવ હિંસામાં નિમિત્ત નહિ બને. એવા લોકો છે જેઓ દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવા મક્કમ છે. તેઓ દેખીતી જીવ હિંસા અટકાવી શકશે. છતાંપણ જો તેઓ વેપારમાં પોતાની બુદ્ધિથી બીજાનો ફાયદો ઉઠાવે છે તો અને પોતાના લોભથી તેઓ ભાવ હિંસા કરવાનું ચાલુ જ રાખે છે. આ બધી હિંસા જ છે. સ્થૂળ કે સૂક્ષ્મ, હિંસા અહિંસા વિષે જ્ઞાની પુરુષે જાતે ખુલ્લું કર્યું છે તે પ્રમાણે આગળ વધારો જાણો. જેઓ અહિંસા પાળી ને મુક્તિના માર્ગે આગળ વધવા માગે છે તેને આ વાંચન નિશંક રીતે મદદગાર સાબિત થશે.

Ahmad al-Ghazālī, Remembrance, and the Metaphysics of Love (SUNY series in Islam)
by Joseph E. LumbardThe teachings of Aḥmad al-Ghazālī changed the course of Persian Sufism forever, paving the way for luminaries such as Rūmī, Aṭṭār, and Ḥāfiẓ. Yet he remains a poorly understood thinker, with many treatises incorrectly attributed to him and conflicting accounts in the historiographical literature. This work provides the first examination of Aḥmad al-Ghazālī and his work in Western scholarly literature. Joseph E. B. Lumbard seeks to ascertain the authenticity of works attributed to this author, trace the development of the dominant trends in the biographical literature, and reconstruct the life and times of Aḥmad al-Ghazālī with particular attention to his relationship with his more famous brother, Abū Hamid al-Ghazālī. Lumbard's findings revolutionize our understanding of Aḥmad al-Ghazālī writings, allowing for focus on his central teachings regarding Divine Love and the remembrance of God.
Ahmad al-Mansur: The Beginnings of Modern Morocco (Makers of the Muslim World)
by Mercedes García-ArenalSultan Ahmad al-Mansur (1578-1603) was one of the most significant rulers in the history of Morocco, which to this day bears the mark of his twenty-five year rule in the sixteenth century. A brilliant political and military tactician, cunning diplomat and descendent of the Prophet Muhammad himself, al-Mansur was a charismatic religious authority with ambitions to become Caliph and ruler of all Islam. Spanning four continents, this lucid introduction assesses this fascinating figure and his legacy amidst the political intrigue, colonial discovery, and military conquest that dominated the age. Mercedes García-Arenal is Professor of Arabic Studies at the Higher Council of Scientific Research in Madrid.
Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Makers of the Muslim World)
by Christopher MelchertChristopher Melchert examines the forefather of the fourth of the four principal Sunni schools of jurisprudence, the Hanbali. Upholding the view that the Qur'an was uncreated and the direct word of God, Ahmad ibn Hanbal (780-855) thought that the holy text should be read literally, rejecting any possibility for metaphorical or revisionist interpretation. Melchert assesses the importance of ibn Hanbal's teachings and analyses their relevance in modern Sunni Islam.
Ahmad ibn Tulun: Governor of Abbasid Egypt, 868–884 (Makers of the Muslim World)
by Matthew S. GordonAhmad ibn Tulun (835–884) governed Egypt on behalf of the Abbasid dynasty for sixteen years. An aggressive and innovative actor, he pursued an ambitious political agenda, including the introduction of dynastic rule over Egypt, that put him at odds with his imperial masters. Throughout, however, he retained close ties to the Abbasid house and at no point did he assert outright independence. In this volume, Matthew Gordon considers Ibn Tulun&’s many achievements in office as well as the crises, including the betrayals of his eldest son and close clients, that marred his singular career.
Ahoti: A Novel
by Eva Marie Everson Miriam Feinberg VamoshA masterful retelling of Tamar's story of redemption, faith, healing, and justice. "As an author of biblical fiction, I know the amount of research and work that goes into crafting a story like this. Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson comprise the perfect team." —Jerry B. Jenkins, THE CHOSEN series. Ravaged by one brother, silenced and betrayed by another, and abandoned by her father King David, Tamar—once beloved daughter of the king of Israel, and healer of the court—suddenly finds herself in exile, fleeing for her life. But the story continues where the scriptures end: a dangerous journey and tenacious pursuit of her true identity and calling brings her full circle, to her rightful place in the kingdom. Enthusiasts of Biblical Fiction will love Ahoti. Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King of Israel. The familiar Bible story ends with Tamar living "desolate" (2 Samuel 13:20), but master storytellers Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson take readers beyond this sorrowful ending to a horizon of hope, thanks to their brilliant adaptation of an ancient anonymous manuscript, purportedly written by Gad the Seer (1 Chronicles 29:29), which was discovered in India in the early 18th century. Beyond the biblical text, this manuscript provides a surprising conclusion, which has powerful modern-day significance. Rich with cultural, biblical, and historic detail, and spiritually compelling, Ahoti will inspire readers to overcome humiliation, pain, betrayal, and bitterness, to embrace a life of purpose. "Vamosh (The Scroll) and Everson (The Ornament Keeper) put an empowering spin on the biblical story of Tamar, the daughter of King David...[I]t's a welcome and often gripping portrait of the unsung courage of a biblical heroine."—Publishers Weekly.

by SophoclesSophocles' play is a famous retelling of Aias's (Ajax's) demise. After the armor is awarded to Odysseus, Aias feels so insulted that he wants to kill Agamemnon and Menelaus. Athena intervenes and clouds his mind and vision, and he goes to a flock of sheep and slaughters them, imagining they are the Achaean leaders, including Odysseus and Agamemnon. When he comes to his senses, covered in blood, he realizes that what he has done has diminished his honor, and decides that he prefers to kill himself rather than live in shame.

Aikido Ground Fighting: Grappling and Submission Techniques
by Carl Long Walther G. Von Krenner Ken Jeremiah Damon ApodacaAikido Ground Fighting presents effective ground techniques that remain true to aikido founder Morehei Ueshiba's teachings while addressing a potential weakness in the system: while aikido is renowned for its submission and compliance techniques as well as grappling from a standing position, it is not known for its effectiveness when it comes to ground fighting. Aikido Ground Fighting is a unique look at the roots of aikido techniques (in particular, the kneeling practices of suwari-waza) and how they might be applied to defense on the ground. Written by a direct student of Morihei Ueshiba in collaboration with other aikido teachers, this book remains steadfastly true to the founder's teachings while presenting innovative and effective techniques. Containing never-before-published pictures of Ueshiba as well as step-by-step photographs clearly demonstrating techniques, Aikido Ground Fighting is designed for aikido students looking to become more well-rounded martial artists as well as practitioners of all martial arts seeking effective self-defense techniques.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Aikido as Transformative and Embodied Pedagogy: Teacher as Healer
by Michael A. GordonDrawing on the author’s lifelong practice in the non-competitive and defensive Japanese art of Aikido, this book examines education as self-cultivation, from a Japanese philosophy (e.g. Buddhist) perspective. Contemplative practices, such as secular mindfulness meditation, are being increasingly integrated into pedagogical settings to enhance social and emotional learning and well-being and to address stress-induced overwhelm due to increased pressures on the education system and its constituents. The chapters in this book explore the various ways, through the lens of this non-violent relational art of Aikido, that pedagogy is always something being practiced (on the level of psychological, somatic and emotional registers) and thus holding potential for transformation into being more relational, ecological-minded, and reflecting more ‘embodied attunement.’ Positioning education as a practice, one of self-discovery, the author argues that one can approach personal development as engaging in a spiritual process of integrating mind and body towards full presence of being and existence.
Aimee Semple McPherson and the Making of Modern Pentecostalism, 1890-1926
by Chas H. BarfootPentecostalism was born at the turn of the twentieth century in a "tumble-down shack" in a rundown semi-industrial area of Los Angeles composed of a tombstone shop, saloons, livery stables and railroad freight yards. One hundred years later Pentecostalism has not only proven to be the most dynamic representative of Christian faith in the past century, but a transnational religious phenomenon as well. In a global context Pentecostalism has attained a membership of 500 million growing at the rate of 20 million new members a year. Aimee Semple McPherson, born on a Canadian farm, was Pentecostalism's first celebrity, its "female Billy Sunday". Arriving in Southern California with her mother, two children and $100.00 in 1920, "Sister Aimee", as she was fondly known, quickly achieved the height of her fame. In 1926, by age 35, "Sister Aimee" would pastor "America's largest 'class A' church", perhaps becoming the country's first mega church pastor. In Los Angeles she quickly became a folk hero and civic institution. Hollywood discovered her when she brilliantly united the sacred with the profane. Anthony Quinn would play in the Temple band and Aimee would baptize Marilyn Monroe, council Jean Harlow and become friends with Charlie Chaplain, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. Based on the biographer's first time access to internal church documents and cooperation of Aimee's family and friends, this major biography offers a sympathetic appraisal of her rise to fame, revivals in major cities and influence on American religion and culture in the Jazz Age. The biographer takes the reader behind the scenes of Aimee's fame to the early days of her harsh apprenticeship in revival tents, failed marriages and poverty. Barfoot recreates the career of this "called" and driven woman through oral history, church documents and by a creative use of new source material. Written with warmth and often as dramatic as Aimee, herself, the author successfully captures not only what made Aimee famous but also what transformed Pentecostalism from its meager Azusa Street mission beginnings into a transnational, global religion.
Aimee Semple McPherson and the Resurrection of Christian America
by Matthew Avery SuttonEvery child knows what it means to play, but the rest of us can merely speculate. Is it a kind of adaptation, teaching us skills, inducting us into certain communities? Is it power, pursued in games of prowess? Fate, deployed in games of chance? Daydreaming, enacted in art? Or is it just frivolity? Brian Sutton-Smith, a leading proponent of play theory, considers each possibility as it has been proposed, elaborated, and debated in disciplines from biology, psychology, and education to metaphysics, mathematics, and sociology. Sutton-Smith focuses on play theories rooted in seven distinct “rhetorics”—the ancient discourses of Fate, Power, Communal Identity, and Frivolity and the modern discourses of Progress, the Imaginary, and the Self. In a sweeping analysis that moves from the question of play in child development to the implications of play for the Western work ethic, he explores the values, historical sources, and interests that have dictated the terms and forms of play put forth in each discourse’s “objective” theory. This work reveals more distinctions and disjunctions than affinities, with one striking exception: however different their descriptions and interpretations of play, each rhetoric reveals a quirkiness, redundancy, and flexibility. In light of this, Sutton-Smith suggests that play might provide a model of the variability that allows for “natural” selection. As a form of mental feedback, play might nullify the rigidity that sets in after successful adaption, thus reinforcing animal and human variability. Further, he shows how these discourses, despite their differences, might offer the components for a new social science of play.
Aimee Semple Mcpherson and the Resurrection of Christian America
by Matthew Avery SuttonDuring the years between the two world wars, Aimee Semple McPherson was the most flamboyant and controversial minister in the United States. She built an enormously successful and innovative megachurch, established a mass media empire, and produced spellbinding theatrical sermons that rivaled Tinseltown's spectacular shows. As McPherson's power grew, she moved beyond religion into the realm of politics, launching a national crusade to fight the teaching of evolution in the schools, defend Prohibition, and resurrect what she believed was the United States' Christian heritage. Convinced that the antichrist was working to destroy the nation's Protestant foundations, she and her allies saw themselves as a besieged minority called by God to join the "old time religion" to American patriotism. Matthew Sutton's definitive study of Aimee Semple McPherson reveals the woman, most often remembered as the hypocritical vamp in Sinclair Lewis's Elmer Gantry, as a trail-blazing pioneer. Her life marked the beginning of Pentecostalism's advance from the margins of Protestantism to the mainstream of American culture. Indeed, from her location in Hollywood, McPherson's integration of politics with faith set precedents for the religious right, while her celebrity status, use of spectacle, and mass media savvy came to define modern evangelicalism.
