Synopsis

"Rural Revival Strategies" explores how to reverse population decline and economic stagnation in rural communities, challenging the notion that their decline is inevitable. It focuses on three key areas: diversifying rural economies beyond traditional agriculture, capitalizing on the rise of remote work, and strategically improving infrastructure. The book highlights that many rural areas are facing a crisis, with shrinking populations leading to reduced services and a loss of cultural heritage. Did you know that strategic investment in digital connectivity can be as crucial as traditional infrastructure for rural economic growth? The book examines global case studies to identify successful strategies for rural development, emphasizing practical solutions rather than romantic ideals.

It argues for a multifaceted approach that combines targeted economic policies with investments in broadband access and essential infrastructure. For example, some rural communities have successfully attracted new industries by leveraging renewable energy resources. The book progresses methodically, starting with an overview of the challenges, followed by detailed analyses of specific strategies and concluding with recommendations for integrated policy frameworks.

This book stands out by emphasizing adaptability and the role of technology in rural revival. It provides actionable guidance for policymakers and community leaders, offering a roadmap for creating resilient and sustainable rural communities. The interdisciplinary approach, drawing from economics, sociology, and other fields, ensures a comprehensive understanding of the factors at play in rural development and regional planning.

The Hiramic Legend

Manly Palmer Hall

The Masonic legend of the building of Solomon's Temple does not in every particular parallel the Scriptural version, especially in those portions relating to CHiram Abiff. According to the Biblical account, this Master workman returned to his own country; in the Masonic allegory he is foully murdered. On this point A. E. Waite, in his New Encyclopædia of Freemasonry, makes the following explanatory comment: 
"The legend of the Master-Builder is the great allegory of Masonry. It happens that his figurative story is grounded on the fact of a personality mentioned in Holy Scripture, but this historical background is of the accidents and not the essence; the significance is in the allegory and not in any point of history which may lie behind it."

Blissful Thinking - A Memoir of...

L.L. Kirchner

Never give up, especially on yourself. 
In L.L. Kirchner’s Pushcart-nominated memoir of “resistance and surrender… [the author’s] voice is humble and self-aware” (Kirkus Reviews) as she undertakes a desperate post-divorce search for nirvana, leaving behind university halls in the Persian Gulf for the streets of Manhattan and, ultimately, a sex cult in India. 
Between the gym her family owned and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner believed she was grounded in all things wellness. But after a tumultuous year in Qatar, which included the discovery that she'd never have children, her husband demanded a divorce. Over the telephone. 
Fearing a return to her substance use disorder, she tries to regain trust in the universe through yoga, meditation, chanting, boyfriends, more yoga… Each brings some relief, but her painful family dynamics remain unresolved. Until illness forces her to reckon with the gift her mother had always given her—hope. 
In a memoir that’s both rapturous and page-turning, Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical honesty — and a second date. 
What people are saying about Blissful Thinking: 
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings awareness & normalcy to taboo questions about mental health, sex, our life's purpose. -Goodreads Review 
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book felt like a friend cozying up to me and telling her stories of exploration and loss with humor and vulnerability. -Goodreads Review 
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you like humorous tales of spirituality seeking, addiction, cults, psychology, and relationship drama of all kinds, you'll love this witty, engaging memoir. -Goodreads Review

The Islandman

Tomas O'Crohan

Tomas O'Crohan was born on the Great Blasket Island in 1865 and died there in 1937, a great master of his native Irish. He shared to the full the perilous life of a primitive community, yet possessed a shrewd and humorous detachment that enabled him to observe and describe the world. His book is a valuable description of a now vanished way of life; his sole purpose in writing it was in his own words, 'to set down the character of the people about me so that some record of us might live after us, for the like of us will never be again'. 
The Blasket Islands are three miles off Irelands Dingle Peninsula. Until their evacuation just after the Second World War, the lives of the 150 or so Blasket Islanders had remained unchanged for centuries. A rich oral tradition of story-telling, poetry, and folktales kept alive the legends and history of the islands, and has made their literature famous throughout the world. The 7 Blasket Island books published by OUP contain memoirs and reminiscences from within this literary tradition, evoking a way of life which has now vanished.
