The Death and Life of Great American Cities: 50th Anniversary Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1080min
Thirty years after its publication, The Death and Life of Great American Cities was described by The New York Times as "perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning....[It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments." Jane Jacobs, an editor and writer on architecture in New York City in the early 60s, argued that urban diversity and vitality were being destroyed by powerful architects and city planners. Rigorous, sane, and delightfully epigrammatic, Jacobs's small masterpiece is a blueprint for the humanistic management of cities. It is sensible, knowledgeable, readable, indispensable. The author has written a new foreword for this Modern Library edition. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Donna Rawlins.

Closure: The Rush to End Grief and What it Costs Us , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min
When it comes to the end of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, or even a national tragedy, we are often told we need "closure." But while some people do find closure for their pain and grief, many more feel that closure does not exist and believe the notion only encourages false hopes. Sociologist Nancy Berns explores these ideas and their ramifications in her timely book, Closure. Berns uncovers the various interpretations and contradictory meanings of closure. She identifies six types of "closure talk," revealing closure as a socially constructed concept and a "new emotion. "Berns explores how closure has been applied widely in popular media and how the idea has been appropriated as a political tool and to sell products and services. This book explains how the push for closure - whether we find it helpful, engaging, or enraging - is changing our society. Honorable Mention from the Sociology of Emotions section of the American Sociological Association, 2012. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Catherine Force.

Rustlers: A Balum Series Western, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 332min
Taking a hard look at his position in life, Balum can't say he's pleased. Near flat-broke and aimless, he bites at the chance of a lifetime: a roundup of 1,000 wild Texas longhorns. It won't be easy. He might die in a stampede or get hooked by a horn, the cattle might die on the drive or fetch a collapsed price at market. And the biggest obstacle of all: rustlers. There existed two types of rustlers in the Old West; those who stole a few head in the dark of night, and those who appropriated an entire herd for everybody to see. The former could be dealt with easily enough. The latter however, was another matter. Balum has no desire to get into a shooting war, but he's come this far and he'll be damned if some range bully strips them out of cattle. He has skin in the game. Between cattle thieves, the lure of women, and the ever-present threat of violence, Balum stands at a fork leading to riches or death. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: G.W. Youngman.

Religious and Non-Religious Perspectives on Happiness and Wellbeing (eBook, ePUB)
This book explores the theme of happiness and well-being from religious, spiritual, philosophical, psychological, humanistic, and health perspectives. Taking a non-binary approach, it considers how happiness in particular has been understood and appropriated in religious and non-religious strands of thought. The chapters offer incisive insight from a variety of perspectives, including humanism, atheism and major religions such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism. Together they demonstrate that although worldviews might vary substantially, there are concurrences across religious and non-religious perspectives on happiness that provide a common ground for further cross-cultural and interreligious exploration. What the book makes clear is that happiness is not a static or monolithic category. It is an ongoing process of being and becoming, striving and seeking, living ethically and meaningfully, as well as arriving at a tranquil state of being. This multifaceted volume makes a fresh contribution to the contemporary study of happiness and is valuable reading for scholars and students from religious studies and theology, including those interested in interreligious dialogue and the psychology of religion, as well as positive psychology.- Shop: buecher

The oriented gaze:
It is almost trivial to say that we live in an age of images. Tourism, as a consumer of spaces, appropriates visual resources to promote and sell tourist destinations. Based on this analogy, we seek to discuss the issue of the representation of the slums in the visual guides of tourism that are appropriated by tourists for orientation in the city. Based on the knowledge of representation, we seek to analyze how the favelas are represented as part of the aesthetic composition of the landscape of the city of Rio de Janeiro. As methodology, we seek the basis of semiotic theory, and organize our analysis in two main strands. The first one refers to the written language that is presented in the guides and refers to the city's favela spaces. The second refers to the interpretation of the images in the guides, based on some established visual codes. We also appropriate some signs to point out how the favelas are represented in the official tourist map of the city of Rio de Janeiro.- Shop: buecher
