Confessions Of A Flaneur These Confessions are offered in the same spirit as that of an old-time `Western` film, (for example `Unforgiven`), insofar as they both obliquely employ similar theme of an `aging outlaw`, who thought he would be able to hang up his weapons and retire; but because of the sin of pride, was unable to resist just one more shoot-out! And maybe his final and last chance to put right a few `wrongs` that had troubled his mind for some time! So while you are reading this, and substituting the `Saloon` for the more dangerous and disorderly territory of the Seminar-Rooms of Academia, and Modernism for the small town `Big Whiskey`, and imagining this aging hireling, who is still sufficiently fast on the draw to enable him to survive; don't waste your pity on him, because he doesn't really expect forgiveness! But goes through the motions of pleading forgiveness anyway; just to show that sociology is faster than any hired-gun and more deadly than any bullet!

Database Modeling with Microsoft® Visio for Enterprise Architects

This book is about how we relate to our loved ones after they have died. To everything there is a season, a time to every purpose under the sun. A time to be born and a time to die: a time to sow, and a time to reap. A time to weep, a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. Since the time of Herodotus, how we care for the dead has been regarded as the surest sign of civilisation, for they are still members of our families, as social beings, worthy of respect and honour. To be loved and celebrated as Part of the fabric of family life, continuing to dwell in us, individually and communally. The Dead matter because we cannot bear to give them up. Nabakov says, “Our existence is but a brief crack of light between two extremities of darkness.” It is in this light that we make sense of human relationships. The immeasurable weight of death - its cultural gravitas - bears down on the corpse and connects its materiality to the cosmic drama that transcends particular beliefs about the afterlife and journeys of the soul. The homes of the Dead, (their graves or tombs) speak directly to the needs of Memory — forever in our hearts and minds.

‘Humble Anecdote of the Invisible’ is the final part of my condensed ‘Lebenswelt Studies’, necessarily autobiographical, and centred mostly on what amounted to a ‘mesocosm’ —an intermediary spiritual -world, between the macrocosm and microcosm, by artists, thinkers, poets and dancers who founded an experimental community, the ‘Hill of Truth’ in Ascona, during the early onset of Modernism, and later at Eronos, the intellectual and aesthetic hub founded by Olga Frobe in Ascona in 1933, to discuss the most pressing issues of the times: the nature of body and soul, social norms, religious belief, relationships, value of life, the human spirit, art and creativity; and their eventual making of an alternative spiritual and intellectual history of the twentieth century.

Humble Anecdotes of the Invisible

Maria Gilbert

This text provides an invaluable and accessible overview of the rapidly developing field of integrative psychotherapy, and introduces a relational-developmental approach to theory and practice. The book critiques the philosophical bases underpinning the theoretical model, looks at the nature of resistance in different phases of therapy, and presents an engaging clinical case study. The book goes beyond the confines of the therapy room and explores the significance of the cultural, ecological and transpersonal dimensions of therapy.

An Introduction to Integrative Psychotherapy

This is the true story of an Anglican ordinand (a student preparing for the ordained priesthood in the Church of England) and changes in his sense of direction, which took him into academia and to then return to his old college as tutor. All this set against the historical background, at that time, of a church losing its sense of direction, the madness of a place almost out of time, the clash of traditions and ideas, and the continuing thoughts that none of this could possibly have happened!

Brasted Revisited

Manila Fortuna is a fictionalised Travelogue which describes Manila through the eyes of previous explorers and through the liaisons and romantic relationships of the narrator of this semi-fictionalised story of the City and its people. But the special twist to this story is the conditional status of its veracity, for Manila culture embodies tsismis, a peculiar Filipino form of rumour, consequently this story is ambiguously real and make-believe.
