Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey describes with a new archive of correspondence interviews and working drafts the some 40 years that Seamus Heaney spent in the United States as a teacher lecturer friend and colleague and as an active poet on the reading circuit. It is anchored by Heaney’s appointments at Berkeley and Harvard but it also follows Heaney’s readings “on the road” at three important points in his career. It argues that Heaney was initially receptive to American poetry and culture while his career was still plastic but as he developed more assurance and fame he became much more critical of America as a superpower especially in the military reaction to 9/11. This study emphasizes “the heard Heaney” as much as the “writerly Heaney” by listening in on key poetry readings at different times and to recorded but unpublished lectures on American and British poets at Harvard. It includes accounts by his creative writing students aspiring poets who testify to his mentoring as well as modeling for them how one can be “a poet in the world” as he was most strikingly.

Politics through the Iliad and the Odyssey Hobbes writes Homer

Politics through the Iliad and the Odyssey Hobbes writes Homer

Facing censorship and being confined to the fringes of the political debate of his time Thomas Hobbes turned his attention to translating Homer’s Iliad and the Odyssey from Greek into English. Many have not considered enough the usefulness of these translations. In this book Andrea Catanzaro analyses the political value of Hobbes’ translations of Homer’s works and exposes the existence of a link between the translations and the previous works of the Malmesbury philosopher. In doing so he asks:• What new information concerning Hobbes' political and philosophical thought can be rendered from mere translation?• What new offerings can a man in his eighties at the time offer having widely explained his political ideas in numerous famous essays and treatises?• What new elements can be deduced in a text that was well-known in England and where there were better versions than the ones produced by Hobbes?Andrea Catanzaro’s commentary and theoretical interpretation offers an incentive to study Hobbes lesser known works in the wider development of Western political philosophy and the history of political thought. | Politics through the Iliad and the Odyssey Hobbes writes Homer

The Component A Personal Odyssey towards Another Normal

The Component A Personal Odyssey towards Another Normal

The Component: A Personal Odyssey towards Another Normal is the Oosterhuis' personal account of four decades of architectural and societal thinking designing building and theorizing. It is an orchestrated yet non-linear series of subjects all leading toward the creation of a parallel world called Another Normal. Another Normal is as of now a hypothetical parallel world. Nomadic international citizens are the inhabitants of Another Normal. Urged by the climate crisis the food energy and water nexus and the COVID-19 pandemic Another Normal demonstrates the inevitable data-driven techno-social architecture of the physically built environment and the metaverse. Besides robotic production on demand of almost anything – when where and as needed – Oosterhuis' proposes a dozen strategies that run in parallel to establish Another Normal among others: ubiquitous basic income global birthright to own a generous piece of land distributed production of healthy food clean energy and drinking water ownership of private data and personal avatars in the Web 3. 0 autonomous electronic transportation ubiquitous shared responsibility for clean production and waste treatment techniques ubiquitous home delivery working from anywhere for any period of time and decentralized real-time peer to peer banking. The organic real and the synthetic hyper-real co-evolve naturally in Another Normal where a mix of strong and simple legislative planning and design rules create complexity diversity fairness and equality. | The Component A Personal Odyssey towards Another Normal

A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

While the popularity of golf is coming under increased pressure it continues to hook millions of players. However the complexity of the game and the extremely high level of precision required to hit the ball consistently well means that it is a game that is difficult to even become ‘good’ at let alone master. Consequently irrespective of whether the player is a weekend golfer a club member or a tour professional the search for the key to playing good golf feeds an insatiable desire for ideas and tips to improve golf performance and bring one’s handicap down. However traditional coaching with its primary focus on developing the perfect swing is not leading to a reduction in handicaps and the time is ripe for a new approach. This book aims to fill this void and is a landmark text for golf coaches and players about applying a constraints-led approach (CLA) to golf coaching. In this book two golf coaches Pete Arnott and Graeme McDowall talk to Ian Renshaw to demonstrate how their practice is driven and inspired by their alignment to a CLA. A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching includes case studies and examples of how constraints are manipulated to induce adaption in the technical tactical (or put in golf terms course management) physiological and psychological development mechanisms needed to improve at golf. Examples cover coaching from their work with beginners high handicappers aspirant tour players and elite players looking to make the ‘tour’.

Golf in Britain A social history from the beginnings to the present day

Golf has been peculiarly a subject related to economic and social change in society. Initially a folk game played in a small part of Scotland then for many years a pastime dominated by the wealthy leisured classes including Royalty golf developed at the turn of the nineteenth century into a sport enjoyed by all sections of the community. One aspect of this change is reflected in the role of women on the links. Another change concerns the fashions in correct wear and equipment both part of a larger golfing etiquette so important to the game. Attitudes too towards the professional golfer have changed dramatically over the years and an increasingly important role is given to young players. Geoffrey Cousins has combined his specialist knowledge and considerable enthusiasm to make a very readable book which will appeal to everyone interested in the role of golf in our history. | Golf in Britain A social history from the beginnings to the present day

Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire

Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire

This volume investigates how versions of Trojan War narratives written in Greek in the first through fifth centuries C. E. created nostalgias for audiences. In ancient education the Iliad and the Odyssey were used as models through which students learned Greek language and literature. This combined with the ruling elite’s financial encouragement of re-creations of the Greek literature of the past created a culture of nostalgia. This book explores the different responses to this climate particularly in the case of the third-century C. E. poet Quintus of Smyrna’s epic Posthomerica. Positioning itself as a sequel to the Iliad and a prequel to the Odyssey the Posthomerica is unique in its middle-of-the-road response to nostalgia for Homer’s epics. This book contrasts Quintus’ poem with other responses to nostalgia for Homeric narratives in Greek literature of the Roman Empire. Some authors contradict pivotal events of the Iliad and Odyssey such as the first-century orator Dio Chrysostom’s Trojan Speech which claims that the Trojan hero Hector did not in fact die contrary to the Iliad’s account. Others re-created Homeric narratives but did not contradict them improvising some elements and adding others. Quintus strikes a compromise in his epic re-imagining Homeric narrative by introducing new characters and scenarios while at the same time retaining the Iliad and Odyssey’s aesthetics. Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire is of interest to students and scholars working on Homeric reception and the Greek literature of the Roman Empire as well as those interested in classical literature and reception more broadly.

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine Ssenior editor Frank Miele renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines Jensen's views on general intelligence (the g factor) racial differences in IQ cultural bias in IQ tests and whether differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy such as Affirmative Action. 'Jensenism' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ differences has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless Intelligence Race and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen's conclusions. | Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R.

The Tender Bud A Physician's Journey Through Breast Cancer

The Tender Bud A Physician's Journey Through Breast Cancer

The Tender Bud is the moving story of one woman's journey through breast cancer. The woman in question happens to be a senior psychiatrist of broad learning and deep clinical insight. Madeleine Meldin weathered the crisis of breast cancer without the support of an immediate family and in the context of ongoing professional burdens. This book is the journal that she wrote for herself as an aid to coping with the personal upheaval of diagnosis mastectomy and the aftermath of treatment. It was written while these events unfolded. With arresting candor Meldin chronicles her emotions at each stage of her odyssey - the recurrent cycles of denial anxiety and despair; the conflicting feelings engendered by her physicians surgeons and the treatment establishment in general; her struggle between resignation and emergent hopefulness. Unique to Meldin's account is her ongoing juxtaposition of the different dimensions of having cancer. Simply and gracefully she chronicles the everyday dimension of cancer with its obligation to proceed maturely and dispassionately with medical and surgical care to meet one's professional responsibilities to maintain the appearances that allow one to carry on with one's life. Meldin excels at showing how even the most mundane experiences of everyday life - conversations with friends and colleagues the selection of clothes a trip to the hairdresser - became saturated with her illness with her sense of herself as a cancer patient. | The Tender Bud A Physician's Journey Through Breast Cancer

Deep Agroecology and the Homeric Epics Global Cultural Reforms for a Natural-Systems Agriculture

Deep Agroecology and the Homeric Epics Global Cultural Reforms for a Natural-Systems Agriculture

Drawing on the Homeric epics this multidisciplinary work reveals the cultural transformations which need to take place in order to transition from today’s modern extractive agricultural system to a sustainable natural‐systems agriculture. In order to provide an imaginative foundation on which to build such a cultural transformation the author draws on the oldest and most pervasive pair of literary works in the Western canon: the Iliad and the Odyssey. He uses themes from those foundational literary works to critique the concept of state sovereignty and to explain how innovative federalism structures around the world already show momentum building toward changes in global environmental governance. The book proposes a dramatic expansion on those innovations to create eco‐states responsible for agroecological management. Drawing from many years of experience in international institutions the author proposes a system of coordination by which an international agroecology‐focused organization would simultaneously (i) avoid the shortcomings of the world’s current family of powerful global institutions and (ii) help create and implement a reformed system of local landscape‐based agriculture wholly consistent with ecological principles. Acknowledging the difficulty of achieving reforms such as these the author suggests that a new cultural‐conceptual narrative can be constructed drawing on values set forth 2 700 years ago in the Homeric epics. He explains how these values can be reimagined to drive forward our efforts in addressing today’s the climate and agricultural crises in ways that reflect not reject the natural processes and relationships that make the Earth a living planet. This book will be of great interest to students academics and policymakers addressing issues of agrarian values environmental and agricultural law environmental restoration agroecology and global institutional reform. | Deep Agroecology and the Homeric Epics Global Cultural Reforms for a Natural-Systems Agriculture

Mencian Hermeneutics

Mencian Hermeneutics

Considered second only to Confucius in the history of Chinese thought Mencius (371?-289 b. c. ) was a moral philosopher whose arguments while pragmatically rooted in the political and social conditions of his time go beyond particular situations to probe their origins and speculate on their larger implications. His writings constitute a living tradition in China and the world at large. Sinological studies of Mencius have long emphasized philological and archaeological research situating the texts mainly in Chinese history. Critical appraisal of the texts lends itself to Western traditions of interpretation. In Mencian Hermeneutics Chun-chieh Huang utilizes both approaches to offer a historical and universal understanding of Mencius. Huang builds from the premise that Mencius' thinking and all Chinese thought are sociopolitical in tone and humanistic and metaphysical in nature and range. The strength of Mencius' thought lies in the organic mutuality of these factors. His arguments are shaped by the politics literature and economics of his age. At the same time the concrete programs he proposed and his sharp criticisms of alternative policies are rooted in the metaphysical soil of man and the world human solidarity and cosmic symbiosis and human nature within the natural world. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 analyzes the concrete as opposed to the theoretical character of Mencius' thought. Huang demonstrates the organic unity of his intellectual system with its concepts of linkage between innermost to outermost self to social rightness vs. profit and his political ideal of populist government through familial empathy. Part 2 deals with the long historical odyssey of Mencius' work in China's interpretive tradition an exegetical process similar in its origins to Western hermeneutics. In comparing and analyzing these approaches to Mencius Huang seeks to show that Chinese hermeneutics is more than an activity of intellectual curiosity about the ancient world but is instead a means to sociopolitical action an application in society of the fruits of personal cultivation. Mencian Hermeneutics will be of interest to Chinese area specialists sociologists literary scholars and philosophers.
