In Together Under One Roof, Lin Jensen turns his keen eye and powerful prose explicitly to the teachings of the Buddha, to traditional Zen stories, and to the practices of meditation and compassion--as well as the intricacies of everyday language and the natural world, truth and beauty, family, and the myriad ways our simplest actions affect our whole lives. His previous two works, memoirs of growing up and growing old and of the hard-won but gentle wisdom gained in his daily public meditations for peace, were both critical successes earning a special place in readers' hearts. This book takes up symphonic variations on one main theme: we are all "in it" together, we are all living under one roof--and there's always a glowing hearth right here in this, the Buddha's household.

Studying Buddhist teachings is one thing, but what is it like to actually live as a Buddhist? Lin Jensen's new book is aimed at readers who, like himself, are attempting to do just that. Its focus is not so much on pursuing Buddhist philosophy as on uncovering the ordinary and often contradictory daily experiences inherent in a Buddhist a way of life. Imagining Buddhism as a household and the world as its family, Jensen ponders, How do we keep the rooms clean, the family at peace? Together Under One Roof repeatedly asks the reader this question and it does so because Jensen repeatedly asks it of himself - it's a question he keeps open because no single answer suffices for a guide along the way.

From the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new steamy, STEMinist novella... A scientist should never cohabitate with her annoyingly hot nemesis - it leads to combustion. Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn... As an environmental engineer, Mara knows all about the delicate nature of ecosystems. They require balance. And leaving the thermostat alone. And not stealing someone else's food. And other rules Liam, her detestable big-oil lawyer of a roommate, knows nothing about. Okay, sure, technically she's the interloper. Liam was already entrenched in his aunt's house like some glowering grumpy giant when Mara moved in, with his big muscles and kissable mouth just sitting there on the couch tempting respectable scientists to the dark side...but Helena was her mentor and Mara's not about to move out and give up her inheritance without a fight. The problem is, living with someone means getting to know them. And the more Mara finds out about Liam, the harder it is to loathe him...and the easier it is to love him. To read Sadie and Hannah's stories look for the novellas Stuck with You and Below Zero. Ali Hazelwood's latest novel, Love on the Brain is out now.

Explore the enormous opportunities and benefits of multigenerational living in this essential guide to the modern American family. This inventive guide to multigenerational living arrives at a crucial time, as families cope with the stresses of a changing society and the tidal wave of baby boomer retirement. This book about the American family of today offers solutions, guidance, and assistance from three authors who bring their different experiences and expertise to this presentation of the challenges, realities, and benefits of multigenerational living. Under One Roof explores the current state of the American family, including fast-rising life expectancies, the growing costs of elder care, the increasing need for childcare, the frustrating lack of affordable housing, and the new familial disconnectedness. In response, this timely book also examines • designing communities and homes to accommodate a fast-graying America, • the positives of elders providing childcare, • handling relationships with aging parents, • privacy, space, and communication issues within multigenerational living situations, • the evolution of the American healthcare system, hiring home caregivers, increasing the ability to comfort in hospice, and • dealing with the death of a loved one. Under One Roof will bring you inspiration and exciting opportunities for invention as you and your modern American family tackle the challenges of the twenty-first century.

Sometimes people aren't who you think they are. Everyone knew what was going on in Ballard, Washington: developers were building a giant shopping mall, but a house belonging to a feisty octogenarian named Edith Wilson Macefield was in the way. They offered her a million dollars. She told them to take a hike. Everyone knew that Barry Martin, head of the construction project, was involved in the push to get her out of the house so that the project could proceed without further delay. Everyone was wrong. When Barry took the job as construction supervisor for the shopping mall that was being erected around Edith's little house, he determined to make things as easy for her as he could. He didn't expect that she'd ask him to drive her to a hair appointment—but he did offer to help, after all. And it was in that one small gesture that an unlikely friendship was sparked, one that changed them both forever. The story of Barry Martin and Edith Macefield is a tale of balance and compassion, of giving enough without giving too much, of helping our elderly loved ones through the tough times without taking away their dignity. In the end, Under One Roof is a tale of grace, and one from which all of us can take solace and strength. From Barry and Edith we have much to learn about love and letting go and, just possibly, about seeing through fading light to find great joy.

Family Life And The Law written by Rebecca Probert and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-04-15 with Law categories.
This book brings a modern critical approach to bear on the broad range of subjects that used to constitute 'family law.' A key consideration in this collection is the way in which law itself is premised upon, constructing a particular image of the family. By bringing different areas of law together, Probert et al suggest it is possible to explore how differing ideas about 'the family' inform different areas of law. This approach allows Family Life and the Law to analyze the extent to which the law is consistent and/or inconsistent in its concept and treatment of the family across and within disciplines. The book is particularly timely in view of the passage of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, the implications of which reverberate throughout family law and allied disciplines, and the current reconsideration of the position of cohabiting couples.
