Sinopsis

In "Traditions of Lancashire (Vol. 1&2)," John Roby meticulously explores the rich folklore, customs, and historical narratives of Lancashire, interweaving local legends with thorough historical analysis. Roby's literary style blends vivid storytelling with rigorous scholarship, creating a tapestry of the region's cultural identity. Written in the early 19th century, this work stands as both a chronicle and a critique of societal changes during the Industrial Revolution, capturing the tensions between tradition and modernity that characterize this vibrant English region. John Roby, a native of Lancashire, exemplifies the synergy of personal experience and academic inquiry in his writing. His deep-rooted interest in local history and folklore, coupled with an awareness of the transformative social landscape of his time, fuels his desire to preserve Lancashire's oral traditions before they succumb to the relentless tide of modernization. As a historian, Roby's insights are not merely observational but deeply empathetic, lending a voice to the common people whose stories might otherwise be lost. "Traditions of Lancashire" is not only a vital resource for historians and folklorists but also a compelling read for anyone who values the intersections of culture and history. Roby's engaging prose invites readers to immerse themselves in the narratives that shape regional identity, making this collection essential for both academic study and leisurely exploration.

For the next six years, I frequently returned to, where I studied many different paths of Hinduism, Buddhism, and other forms of yoga and meditation. However, even after learning and experiencing so much I was still left incomplete." in 2001 during the young man's sixth trip to India, he traveled to Vrindavan, a holy town associated with Lord Krishna south of Delhi.

    A Simple Guide to Life

    Innumerable books have been written about Buddhism, but most of these are far too exhaustive, too specialized, or too scholarly to be of much practical help to the busy lay Buddhist in search of concise guidance. A short, clear, and simple handbook on how to live a proper Buddhist lay life was therefore a much felt need. The present essay attempts to fill that gap by providing exactly what its title offers: A 
    Simple Guide to Life. 
     
    For easy reference the essay has been divided into short, convenient sections. The first section is theoretical in emphasis. It attempts to fix in the reader’s mind the essential principles of the Buddha’s teaching, without complicated and sophisticated explanations. The principles discussed here should serve as a clear-cut philosophy of life, a framework which illuminates the meaning and purpose of the Buddhist life. These principles will enable the lay Buddhist to understand his or her place in the larger scheme of things, to order priorities, and to devise a proper way to achieve them. The lack of a clear philosophy of life, so widespread today, is largely responsible for the steady decline in ethical standards, both individually and socially,...in the world as a whole.

    The Necessary Journey - Making...

    "What does a workplace utopia look like to you?" This is the question Dr. Ella F. Washington asks company leaders, and often she hears about an ideal vision of an organization that values diversity and inclusion and wants employees to bring their whole selves to work. 
     
     
     
    But how can you get there? Organizations have largely missed the mark when it comes to creating environments where all employees thrive in an equal and equitable way, because they treat diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a program that gets done rather than the necessary and difficult journey it is. 
     
     
     
    The road to an inclusive workplace is a difficult one, but you can traverse it, and there's help along the way. Start here with stories of companies making the necessary journey, including Slack, PwC, Best Buy, Denny's, and many others. Hear from company leaders about their successes and failures, the times they were on the vanguard, and the moments they realized they had much more work to do. These are profiles in perseverance from people who are keen enough to recognize the need for inclusive workplaces and humble enough to know they're not there yet. Along the way, Washington provides a framework for thinking about where these companies are on their journeys and where you and your company may be too.
