  Wabi Sabi: The Philosophy of Achieving Perfection Through Imperfection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min

  Wabi means "rustic simplicity" or "understated elegance" with an emphasis on a less-is-more way of thinking."Sabi" is interpreted as "finding joy in the imperfect". Wabi sabi's meaning is vast and almost difficult to distill in a single sentence, but it can be easily applied to situations in daily life.In possessions, partnerships, successes, the relentless pursuit of success also contributes to pain, fear, disappointment, and hasty decision.This is where wabi-sabi prompts you to take a break.The Japanese ideology teaches us to reflect on the benefits that are concealed in our daily lives, and appreciate as things are rather than how they ought to be. Wabi sabi rewards genuineness. Wabi sabi with a conscious choice is like a minimalism.A good example of wabi sabi in innovation is the art of kintsugi, where broken pottery is filled with gold dusted lacquer as a way to showcase the age's elegance and destruction, rather than conceal it.The flaw is not hidden, but is revealed.This isn't to suggest that the craftsman was incompetent (wabi sabi isn't an excuse for poor handicraft). As part of the object's beauty, wabi sabi draws attention to the cracks in a tea-cup.It's as simple (or as difficult) to follow wabi sabi as understanding and accepting yourself - imperfections, and everything. It's about being honest about yourself as you are, and improving on anything that's - not striving feverishly to reinvent yourself and appear as something else completely.Today, appreciating the stuff we have, the people we love, and the opportunities we have in our lives is losing value. Simply put, wabi sabi lets you be yourself. Embrace the incomplete beauty of being you.Enjoy listening! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Clare Radix.

• Ethnobotany of the Balkans

  Ethnobiology is the study of the dynamic relationship between plants, animals, people, and the environment. Academic and applied interests include ethnobotany, ethnozoology, linguistics, paleoethnobotany, zooarchaeology, ethnoecology, and many others. The field lies at a dynamic intersection between the social and biological sciences. The major contribution from the biological sciences has come from economic botany, which has a rich historical and scientific tradition. The Balkans MRW (online and print) Volume will cover this European Macroregion. The content will focus on the ethnobotany of wild plants in this Macroregion and it will be first developed as an online site and, later, when all of the planned topics have been covered for this specific volume, printed in a hard copy version. The online site will remain live and be available for updates (with new monographs [if not covered initially due to lack of research]). The content will be divided into sections covering countries (or groups of countries), based on plant diversity and not necessarily political or national boundaries. The Balkans volume will have an Introduction (4,000-6,000 words); 50 200 plant monographs (10 to maximum 50 monographs per country) with each monograph having a length of ~1,500 words (with references), plus 2-4 photographs. To further define the content, the plant monographs will be divided into five major categories (food; medicine/cosmetic; veterinary; handicraft plants; and ritual/folkloric uses) and include notes. The number of the monographs in every category will be negotiated depending on the advances of the ethnobotanical research in each specific country, or group of countries. The main criteria for the inclusion of a given plant will be its cultural salience within a given country (assessed by the Volume Editor). References will be given at the end of the Introduction and each monograph.
