The Allure of Charleston: Houses, Rooms, and Gardens
The Allure of Charleston celebrates this historic city's eighteenth- and nineteenth-century styles and demonstrates how they continue to be employed and updated by design professionals today. Anyone who loves houses and interiors loves Charleston. The Allure of Charleston shows why by delving into the architecture and interiors of the past and present. Exploring the question of what makes Charleston so distinct, Sully demonstrates why the language of its architecture, interior design, and gardens is so versatile and enduring. Examples of Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival architecture and of rooms containing an array of English, European, and American decorative details convey the complex harmony that characterizes the city's houses. Featuring historic masterpieces including Drayton Hall, the Nathaniel Russell House, and Middleton Place, this volume also offers a look at present-day residences, among them a new house built faithfully to colonial style, a charming eighteenth-century dwelling with modern updates, a stunning Georgian town-house with a contemporary addition, and a sophisticated Federal home. The Allure of Charleston also includes a visual lexicon presenting the individual elements-wrought iron gates, garden statuary, pastel plaster walls, refined porcelain-that comprise the city's style, making this exquisite book both informative and inspiring.- Shop: buecher

Haltung als Sozialität im Widerstreit
Privat-Intimes in einem öffentlich-gesellschaftlichen Raum zu verhandeln, kann als ein spezifisches Merkmal psychosozialer Beratung gesehen werden. Die Herausforderung an eine Theoriebildung psychosozialer Beratung besteht darin, beide Perspektiven - die ethische (inter-individuelle Ebene) und politische (gesellschaftliche Ebene) - in den Blick zu nehmen, um beidem gerecht zu werden. Das Ausloten beider Perspektiven einer Ethik der Alterität nach Levinas und einer Gouvernementalität der Beratung nach Foucault zeigt eine Unvereinbarkeit dieser Ebenen. Eine Figur des Dritten bildet ein Scharnier, das weniger beide Ebenen zusammenführt als vielmehr einen Ort von Auseinandersetzung und Widerstreit markiert und damit die psychosoziale Beratung kennzeichnet.A specific characteristic of psychosocial counseling can be seen in negotiating private-intimate (counseling) in a public-social space (counseling institution). A challenge in developing theories of psychosocial counseling is to consider both perspectives - which can be described as the ethical (inter-individual level) and the political (social level) in order to do justice to both. The exploration of both perspectives of an ethics of alterity according to Levinas and a governmentality of counseling according to Foucault shows that both levels are incompatible. A figure of the third party reveals a hinge, which not so much brings both levels together but rather marks a place of discussion and conflict - this is what characterizes psychosocial counseling.- Shop: buecher

Discourse on the Method of Reason: The Complete Work Plus an Overview, Summary, Analysis and Author Biography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
The course of modern philosophy has many contributors, but perhaps not as significant as Rene Descartes, whose work initiated the secular movement which now characterizes the entire field of Western philosophy. Cogito ergo sum. I think therefore I am. This was the singular truth which initiated the structure of thought built by Descartes. His work was the starting point for all of the philosophers which came after. He extended the use of reason and deduction into the natural sciences, and his work was the beginning of the climb out of the dark ages of faith and reasoning by authority. The Discourse on the Method of Reason was the first true work of skepticism, a foundation of doubt which allowed a critical re-examination of all that was previously held to be true. Descartes literally revolutionized both philosophy and mathematics, and this discourse provides the means by which he approached the tangle of contemporary thought and laid the foundation of rational understanding. Includes: A brief background of the author and the work, overview, synopsis, and analysis historical context, criticisms, and social impact chapter-by-chapter summary, the full narration of the text. This audiobook is suitable for students of philosophy and for anyone interested in exploring Western philosophy and its origins. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Rundell.

DMT and the Soul of Prophecy: A New Science of Spiritual Revelation in the Hebrew Bible , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 673min
After completing his groundbreaking research chronicled in DMT: The Spirit Molecule, Rick Strassman, MD, was left with one fundamental question: What does it mean that DMT, a simple chemical naturally found in all of our bodies, instantaneously opens us to an interactive spirit world that feels more real than our own world? When his decades of clinical psychiatric research and Buddhist practice were unable to provide answers to this question, Strassman began searching for a more resonant spiritual model. He found that the visions of the Hebrew prophets were strikingly similar to those of the volunteers in his DMT studies. Carefully examining the concept of prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, he characterizes a "prophetic state of consciousness" and explains how it may share biological and metaphysical mechanisms with the DMT effect. Examining medieval commentaries on the Hebrew Bible, Strassman reveals how Jewish metaphysics provides a top-down model for both the prophetic and DMT states, a model he calls "theoneurology". Theoneurology addresses issues critical to the full flowering of the psychedelic drug experience. Perhaps even more important, it points the way to a renewal of classical prophetic consciousness, the soul of Hebrew Bible prophecy, and unexpected directions for the evolution of contemporary spiritual practice. ungekürzt.

How can I stay connected to a higher power? How can we grow old gracefully?

Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1020min
A revealing memoir of Colombian television journalist Virginia Vallejo's affair with the "King of Cocaine", notorious Medellin drug lord Pablo Escobar. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz. At 33, Virginia Vallejo was part of the media elite. A renowned anchorwoman and socialite, and a model who appeared on magazine covers worldwide, Vallejo was the darling of Colombia's most powerful politicians and billionaires. Meeting Pablo Escobar in 1983, then becoming his mistress for many years, she witnessed the rise of a drug empire that was characterized by Escobar's far-reaching political corruption, his extraordinary wealth, and a network of violent crime that lasted until his death in 1993. In this highly personal and insightful story, Vallejo characterizes the duality of Escobar. His charm and charisma as a benefactor to many Colombians contrast with the repulsiveness of his criminal actions as a tyrannical terrorist and enemy of many world leaders. Told from the perspective of the present day, and reflecting on her cooperation with the US Department of Justice in 2006, as she testified against high-ranking Colombian ministers on trial for conspiracy and murder, Vallejo offers a compelling work of both intimate reflection and critical journalism - a unique perspective on the Colombian drug wars and the endlessly fascinating figure of Pablo Escobar. ungekürzt.
