Описание: Dominique Renda and Blake Horsley's Midnight Daydreams invites the reader on a journey through breathtaking and heartfelt landscapes of lives both recognizable and unforeseen. The authors' candid poetic portraits offer compelling characters, and represent a deep slice of life, of crystallizing moments, realizations, and dreams lost and found. Witty, heartbreaking, and inspiring, these poems affirm our humanity and rouse our spirit. Tales of a mother's feelings for her children, undying and impossible to suppress, a son's independent voice, a spry woman's inquisitive perspective on time, an exhausted man's effort to reclaim it, veterans of war and adjustments, explorations of values and redemption, and the insight and passion of a creative life. Dominique Renda and Blake Horsley engage the reader in a conscious exploration of characters and poetic stories that bring us home. Excerpt from "Seated," in Midnight Daydreams, by Dominique Renda: "...'This is it, ' you say to me, and the rustic room falls away, and the sounds cease to carry, the patrons change to shadows, and the light shines on truth, the aged wood walls listen while sweet molasses steam pulls back in, and I am old, old in a moment, framed in time and stuck to the leather bench marking the day I sat down to say goodbye to you. And in quiet mind, I wonder. How does time trade passion for passage, and the journey for a mere view? The heavy doors open, a couple enters to place their order, a family exits with a bag of what's left. 'History creates expectation, ' you say to me, your voluntary mother offering involuntary farewell, 'and expectation makes it so.'" Editorial Reviews Review "Transportive poetry. A moving collection. Truth and wonder artistically expressed in each character's authentic voice." -Neal Menschel, Poet, Photojournalist "A certain shared perspective...each poem revealing both something about the subject as an individual and often as a part of a family, unique, yet related." -Stephanie Newsom, Poet, Composer, Therapist About the Authors As poet, author, and fine art photographer, Dominique Renda's distinctive written and visual images capture the purity and presence of the human condition.

Teresa Renda Carlson is no stranger to tragedy. Between an endless cascade of health crises starting in 1972, and her front-row seat to the myriad horror shows that mankind inflicts upon itself, Teresa has spent a lifetime practicing the art of coping. Not only did she cope, but truly made a heaven of hell.
In this follow-up to her Oddyssey trilogy, Carlson shares an inspiring account of one woman summoning beauty amid ugliness, art amid chaos, generosity amid human destructiveness, and above all, joy amid the barrage of adversities that life has bombarded her with. In these times of uncertainty, may Teresa's stories of a relentless zest for life despite it all remind us that it is ultimately we who create our own fortune.

Born in 1942 under a bridge in a small war-torn village in southern Italy, Teresa Renda spent the first 17 years of her life searching for the truth of how she came into the world--a secret that no one in her village would speak of--while navigating the only universe she knew: one of bombings, soldiers, famine, and terror, but also one filled with the joys and simple pleasures of tight-knit communal life, with its ceremonial feasts and ritual processions, wine making and olive oil pressing, set against a lyrically painted scenic backdrop. Just before leaving her little village for a new world in Canada at age 17, Teresa finally discovers the gut-wrenching circumstances of her birth, a secret of her own that she would carry onto the harrowing transatlantic journey, and for decades to come.

Описание: Turn off screentime and come back to earth with this family mindfulness guidebook from Chippewa clinical psychologist Renda Dionne Madrigal, PhD, and reconnect with your family through time-honored mindfulness and Indigenous practices and respect for the natural world. Family life can be chaotic and messy, and we easily forget what matters most for our health and happiness: the spirit and wellness that have sustained our ancestors and our entire human family for as long as we've existed on the planet, as Renda Dionne Madrigal puts it. If we, as parents, aren't present with our children, they get their values from peer culture, advertising, and social media instead of the family stories, personal dreams, and ancestral instincts we all have as treasures within ourselves to share. Drawing on indigenous circle practice for communication, The Mindful Family Guidebook provides a deep-rooted guide for a family that grows with a sense of purpose and belonging. Whether you have young children or teens, cultivating authentic connection with each other and the natural world is vital for your mental and emotional health, and this book shows you how--with more than 80 fun and profound activities you can do as a family.
Автор: Kalff Donald, Renda Andrea Название: Hidden Treasures: Mapping Europe`s Sources of Competitive Advantage in Doing Business ISBN: 9461387466 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789461387462 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 35110.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Europe is often presented as a declining global power, in which red tape, incumbency interests and governance flaws hamper economic performance, innovation and productivity. Part of this can be traced back to the inherent challenge and ambition of the European integration project; but also to external factors, including the rise of the United States as a global superpower during the past century, and the worldwide diffusion of ideas, especially in politics and economics, which were seldom originated in Europe, or tailored to its peculiar legal, economic and social traditions. Until recently, Europe has sought to carve out its model and role in global governance by mimicking many US policy approaches: shareholder capitalism, deregulation and unconstrained movement of capital. As the global community increasingly sees the rise of protectionist stances, and a growing inability to face emerging challenges such as sustainable development and the breath-taking rise of disruptive digital technologies, Europe should look at its best qualities to revamp and reclaim its position in the global order, to the benefit of all. The prospect of Brexit, while certainly not favourable for the Union, paradoxically opens up new opportunities to face emerging challenges with a greater degree of cohesion.
This new book, a joint effort between Donald Kalff and a group of CEPS researchers led by Andrea Renda, aims at identifying and exploring Europe's 'hidden treasures', often neglected competitive advantages that could, if adequately nurtured, return the Old Continent to the forefront of the global order. 'Hidden treasures' are a feature of the EU economy, legal system or legal tradition that are being given insufficient attention in EU public policy, and which bear the potential to increase Europe's competitiveness and overall positioning in the global context. The authors find them in ten policy domains, from contract law to corporate governance, taxation, control of corruption, competition policy, trade, innovation and the EU's unique approach to governing the digital economy. Uncovering and promoting hidden treasures becomes, as of today, a timely and highly needed exercise, as the EU approaches its post-elections transition, and the global governance context seems to be rapidly changing, shaping a new playing field in which Europe has no obvious allies, and is increasingly challenged by superpowers with different, if not diverging, priorities.
