"Sexual harassment" has entered common parlance; police departments are equipped with rape kits; more than half of the national legislators in Bolivia and Rwanda are women; and a woman candidate won the plurality of the popular votes in the 2016 United States presidential election. But have we really reached equality and overthrown a patriarchal point of view? The Big Push exposes how patriarchal ideas and relationships continue to be modernized to this day. Through contemporary cases and reports, renowned political scientist Cynthia Enloe exposes the workings of everyday patriarchy--in how Syrian women civil society activists have been excluded from international peace negotiations; how sexual harassment became institutionally accepted within major news organizations; or in how the UN Secretary General`s post has remained a masculine domain. Enloe then lays out strategies and skills for challenging patriarchal attitudes and operations. Encouraging self-reflection, she guides us in the discomforting curiosity of reviewing our own personal complicity in sustaining patriarchy in order to withdraw our own support for it. Timely and globally conscious, The Big Push is a call for feminist self-reflection and strategic action with a belief that exposure complements resistance."--Provided by publisher.

This book studies the Jesuit culture in Silesia and K?odzko (Glatz) County by focusing on its musical works and traditions. The strategies adopted by the Jesuits achieved notable results in the artistic traditions they cultivated, first of all a creative redefinition of musical culture itself, at various levels of its organization. While allowing music to exert influence on human activity, the Jesuits had to accept that its impact would depend on the peculiarities of local possibilities and conditions. This is why they analysed the qualities of music and its culture-forming potential in such detail and precisely defined its norms and modes of functioning. The impact of music can be observed in the transformations that the cultivation of musical culture brought about in the model of the Order itself, as well as in individuals, communities, and the time and space that defined them.

Shinto, Nature and Ideology in Contemporary Japan is the first systematic study of Shinto's environmental turn. The book traces the development in recent decades of the idea of Shinto as an 'ancient nature religion, ' and a resource for overcoming environmental problems. The volume shows how these ideas gradually achieved popularity among scientists, priests, Shinto-related new religious movements and, eventually, the conservative shrine establishment.
Aike P. Rots argues that central to this development is the notion of chinju no mori the sacred groves surrounding many Shinto shrines. Although initially used to refer to remaining areas of primary or secondary forest, today the term has come to be extended to any sort of shrine land, signifying not only historical and ecological continuity but also abstract values such as community spirit, patriotism and traditional culture.
The book shows how Shinto's environmental turn has also provided legitimacy internationally: influenced by the global discourse on religion and ecology, in recent years the Shinto establishment has actively engaged with international organizations devoted to the conservation of sacred sites. Shinto sacred forests thus carry significance locally as well as nationally and internationally, and figure prominently in attempts to reposition Shinto in the centre of public space.

..".Then came people like Christ and Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu and many others, peace be upon them all soon, all at long last. People destined to become divinely inspired and make catastrophic change, rivaling the flood (which I'm not entirely sure is more than metaphorical, for a flood of chaos by misunderstanding we have returned to) but less destructive, having attained enlightenment through whichever means they were guided. They are within us each too, as are all our ancestors, now begging to be remembered and understood. Do you feel that calmness growing within? So too the external multiverse begins to see clearly as we understand the cyclic nature of time exponentially faster. The thinning of the veil, or the focusing of our third eye...."
Embark on a journey beyond the observable universe and unlock the potential of your inner light with questions and answers paraphrased from an entirely new perspective. The simple key that alludes the unification of all religions is travel through time - which is not so much a question of how, but as this perspective shows, of when and why. Perhaps most importantly, why not yet.
This is ceneezer's first short story continuing the Speaker For The Dead saga started by Sir Orson Scott Card, hopefully to be continued yet by many other authors. Use or the name is authorized by Sir Card but that is the extent of association.
