This book presents a thematic analysis of various aspects of solitude, silence and loneliness, from the ancient world to the present day, explored thematically with consideration to the links between aloneness to other social and political issues. The themes include exile (expulsion from a community), ecstasy (getting 'out of oneself') and enstasy (being comfortable within oneself), to the Romantic idea of the artist as solitary. There is work on aloneness in and through nature, especially the importance of natural settings for positive experiences of solitude. A central theme is alienation and its emotions, with the idea of loneliness and the rejected self being a more modern experience. The book explores modernism and postmodernism as presenting new forms of solitude in the twentieth century, and how, more recently, there have been attempts to 'recover' the self, through therapeutic uses of the arts. All of these types and experiences of aloneness are described through the lenses of artistic, literary and musical forms of expression, as aloneness is not only explored and articulated through these art forms, but is in many ways created through these art forms.

The Cure for Loneliness and Depression"It is not good that the man should be alone..."The foregoing line is not a statement by some motivational speaker, or an ancient philosopher, or a psychologist, or even a priest. No. This was said by the Lord God Himself, the Creator of the universe, the One who made all things that live and breathe.In Genesis 2:18, God said it is "NOT GOOD" that the man should be "alone". And you can be assured that if God says a thing is NOT good, then, it is definitely not good.Of all the things God made, as we read in the account of creation in Genesis chapters 1 and 2, there was only one thing He declared "not good." And that is, man's loneliness.What then is loneliness, and why is it so bad that God said it is not good? You are probably wondering.A singer once sang this line: "it doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone...it's just me, myself and I". How true!Contrary to what many assume, loneliness is not really the state of being alone, or without the company of other people. It is worse.Loneliness is a psychological state of feeling "left out", or isolated. And this can happen even in the midst of others.Many are married and living with their spouses, yet feel lonely.There are some who live in a large house with a large family, yet they feel lonely. While there are others who work in organizations with tens or hundreds of staff, yet feel "left out", they feel isolated. That is loneliness!These are the sad realities of our day.Indeed, as God declared, it is NOT GOOD for a man (that is, a person) to be alone (lonely).Now, what makes loneliness so bad that God declared it "not good"?The quest to find answers to this question led to the birth of this book. Let me give you a hint why loneliness is NOT GOOD, as God announced.First, loneliness is associated with many risks, including health risks like depression. Have you noticed that you tend to think wild, negative thoughts when you are lonely? That's only a tip of the pains and dangers of loneliness!Also, you must have heard the saying that there is "safety in numbers", isn't it? It's true. Being lonely can expose you to dangers as predators tend to target people who are isolated.If you, for instance, want a particular branch of a tree to die, it's simple. Just cut it off from the tree, and let it be on its own. It's only a matter of time, it'll die off. Naturally.The truth is, the pains of loneliness are too deep and too serious for you to toy with it. You will discover more as you read further.But loneliness is not all bad! Indeed, being alone and isolated has its benefits. Oh yes! It has its good side too.Great ideas are birthed in the place of solitude.The inspiration for many of the greatest songs, groundbreaking inventions, revolutionary ideas and revelations which have positively altered the course of human history came in moments of isolation!Obviously, loneliness has its benefits.However, you need to understand that these benefits can only be harnessed when the time spent in solitude is properly channeled.In your hands right now is not just a book on loneliness. It is a tool that exposes you, not only to the true meaning of loneliness and its many pains and dangers, but also how you can effectively deal with these dangers (depression being one of them), and, importantly, how to productively channel your "alone time" to your benefit.Read on to discover the treasure in these pages...

Teachers in any subject area must have a basic understanding of how language is learned and used in educational contexts because language impacts teaching and learning across all subjects. This book is written specifically for those teachers and teacher traineeslearning to teach who want to know more about language learning and use in educational contexts and, especially, those who care about the social implications of language in education. Chapters address crucial questions that teachers must address: How is language structured? How is language learned at home and in school, by first, second and bilingual language learners? How is language used in classrooms to shape learning? How does language vary in different regions and due to social characteristics of users? How can language be used to make meaning in different modes (oral/written) and contexts? How do language policies intersect with education policies, and how do these impact teachers? The chapters are full of examples of language use in educational contexts to help readers understand language in action. The examples not only highlight key points, they also provide opportunities for readers to deepen their understanding by experiencing analysis of language. Each chapter closes with a discussion of relevance to educational settings and questions which can be used for in-class discussion or personal reflection. Suggestions for further readings and online viewing are included, and a comprehensive companion website is available

Well-known liturgical scholar and writer Philip Pfatteicher turns his attention in this book to "liturgical spirituality" as distinct from "liturgy and spirituality," which assumes two essentially separate disciplines."Liturgical spirituality" is a holistic concept, bringing together both liturgy and spirituality with reference to the interior life of the spirit that is formed and nurtured by the church's liturgy. Pfatteicher acknowledges that there are other kinds of spirituality that appear to flourish apart from and in addition to the liturgy: for example, the spirituality of the desert ascetics of the early centuries of christianity, the devotion of the Religious Society of Friends, and many forms of meditation and spiritual discipline such as the Spiritual Exercise of Ignatius Loyola. The focus of the present volume, however, is on the spiritual life as formed by the liturgy, the ordered form of Christian worship, East and West, Catholic and Protestant.In addition to the form of worship one might experience on a Sunday morning, Liturgical Spirituality guides the reader through and into the experience of daily prayer, the Easter Vigil, the Church Year, the Eucharist, hymns and music, Baptism, and even church architecture as "hallowing space."In 1955 Louis Bouyer published an admirable study entitled Liturgical Piety, written before Vatican II and its far-reaching reforms that fundamentally changed the entire Western church. Philip Pfatteicher has now taken up the challenge of expanding upon Bouyer with a current and invigorating study not of "liturgical piety" but of "liturgical spirituality."Philip Phatteicher is Professor of English at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania, a frequent writer and lecturer on liturgical issues, and author of A Dictionary of Liturgical Terms and The School of the Church: Worship and Christian Formation, both published by Trinity Press.

The plight of the new teacher has changed little during the last 30 years. Neophytes still confront the same conflicting demands--to foster students' academic development while controlling their behavior, often in crowded classrooms in ill-equipped and poorly administered schools. Thanks to five books, Isenberg (a 30-year veteran of urban classroom teaching) found solace and support. The five books are Up The Down Staircase, Teacher, How Children Fail, To Sir With Love, and 36 Children. As teaching narratives, these best-selling writings of classroom teachers are a precious legacy of wisdom, inspiration, and experience. Going By The Book is the first published account of the role of teaching narratives in the ongoing professional development of a working teacher. It also serves to illustrate the importance of shared stories in maintaining the will to endure in the teaching profession.

Stephen Cherry's Michael Ramsey Prize shortlisted Healing Agony argues that one of the most profound challenges a human being can ever face is how to forgive in the aftermath of injury, hurt or violation. This book explores the theology of forgiveness alongside a number of contemporary forgiveness stories in order to glean insights for those facing just this challenge. While God's forgiveness is revealed to be a simpler matter than is sometimes imagined, forgiveness between human beings is shown to be far more difficult, enigmatic and open-ended. This book offers a map of the rugged terrain that victims of serious harm, or those who seek to accompany them, will need to navigate if they embark on the venture of trust we call forgiveness.
