  Paging God - Religion in the...

  While the modern science of medicine often seems nothing short of miraculous, religion still plays an important role in the past and present of many hospitals. When three-quarters of Americans believe that God can cure people who have been given little or no chance of survival by their doctors, how do today’s technologically sophisticated health care organizations address spirituality and faith? 
    
  Through a combination of interviews with nurses, doctors, and chaplains across the United States and close observation of their daily routines, Wendy Cadge takes readers inside major academic medical institutions to explore how today’s doctors and hospitals address prayer and other forms of religion and spirituality. From chapels to intensive care units to the morgue, hospital caregivers speak directly in these pages about how religion is part of their daily work in visible and invisible ways. In Paging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine, Cadge shifts attention away from the ongoing controversy about whether faith and spirituality should play a role in health care and back to the many ways that these powerful forces already function in healthcare today.

  Blending science and technology studies, sociology, and geography with a host of archival material, in-depth interviews, and ethnographies, The Politics of Maps explores how the geographical sciences came to be entangled with the politics, territorial claim-making, and nation-state building of Israel/Palestine. Chapters chart the cartographic history of the region, from the introduction of Western scientific and legal paradigms that seemingly legitimized and depoliticized new land regimes to the rise of new mapping technologies and software that expanded access to cartography into the public sphere. Maps produced by various sectors like the "peace camps" or the Jewish community enhanced national belonging, while others, like that of the Green Line, served largely to divide. 
   
   
   
  The stories of Israel's many boundaries reveal that there is no absolute, technocratic solution to boundary-making. As boundaries continue to be controversial and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains intractable and unresolved, The Politics of Maps uses nationally-based cartographic discourses to provide insight into the complexity, fissures, and frictions within internal political debates, illuminating the persistent power of the nation-state as a framework for forging identities, citizens, and alliances.

  After the Walk - The Amazing...

  Every day, my dogs and I wander the scenic trails of our hometown. As we walk, I practice a gentle form of walking meditation—listening to the rhythm of paws and footsteps, the harmony of our breathing, the rustle of leaves in the wind, and even the occasional spirited bark from other dogs along the way. 
  But this is not a book about meditation. It’s not about dog training either. 
  This is a book about the philosophy of life—the reflections, insights, and wandering thoughts that bloom after these quiet walks. 
  Inside, you’ll find a collection of 34 short stories. Some will make you smile. Others will nudge you to pause and look deeper into your own life. All of them are rooted in the simple, yet profound, experiences of walking with loyal companions. 
  At the time of writing, my faithful walking partners were Nena, my service dog, and her daughters Juliette and Panda, along with Jolie, Kapa’a, Indie, and Luna. Each step we took together left an imprint not just on the ground, but on my heart and in these pages.
