Beschreibung

"Home Prayer Limits" explores the controversial practice of governmental oversight, specifically focusing on the monitoring of private prayer by Scottish authorities. It highlights the tension between religious freedom and national security, questioning whether state power should extend to surveilling individuals in their own homes. The book delves into the rationale behind these policies, the methods employed, and the ethical implications for civil liberties and religious minorities.

 
The book examines the historical context and legal precedents that led to these monitoring policies in Scotland. It offers a detailed analysis of how surveillance laws intersect with human rights conventions, challenging readers to consider the impact on privacy and religious expression.

 
The book is structured to first introduce the case study, then delve into the historical and ethical context, and finally, analyze the implications for religious minorities and democratic governance.

 
Ultimately, "Home Prayer Limits" argues that such monitoring represents an overreach of governmental power, even if motivated by security concerns. Through its exploration of governmental oversight, the book aims to inform academics, policymakers, and anyone concerned about the balance between national security and individual liberties. It provides a comprehensive analysis of this complex issue, making it a valuable resource for understanding contemporary debates on surveillance and religious freedom.

Vedic Cosmos

HENRY ROMANO

In his dancing position, Shiva is known as Nataraja, the King of dancers, and is one of the most beautiful forms of Lord Shiva. The upper right hand of Shiva, as Nataraja, holds the damaru drum. It shows nothing, but it represents universal development. Meanwhile, the lower right-hand holds a flame of destruction. There are many stories about Shiva's appearance. There is a third eye between Lord Shiva's eyebrows on his forehead as an example. It represents wisdom or inner vision. The other two eyes represent love and justice. Shiva views everything with the proportions of love, justice, and inner knowledge; thus, he is neither too harsh nor lenient. Shiva's three eyes also symbolize the sun, moon, and fire, how the universe is illuminated. Shiva's wife, Parvati, covered Shiva's eyes with her hands one day, and the entire world was enveloped in darkness. That is how Shiva got his third eye. Shiva ordered the third eye to manifest, producing light, heat, and fire.

The Marauder and His Daughter -...

Linda Cunningham

AFTER DISCOVERING HER FATHER'S WAR DIARY, a young girl begins the lifelong journey of understanding how his brutal and miraculous war experience shaped their family and faith while bringing new insight to one of the most ambitious and secretive war missions of World War II. MERRILL'S MARAUDERS became the 172nd recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal since George Washington. The text of the diary is included.
She understood that her father had been to war and that he did not speak of it, but it was not until adulthood that she came to understand the way his war experiences and PTSD both created and shaped their family. If he had not joined, he would never have met her mother: if he had not volunteered for the "hazardous and dangerous" secret mission that would make him a Marauder, would he have fulfilled his duty to his country? And yet, his time in the Burmese jungle left him with a tiger he took home - one that reared its head rarely but impacted his family and Linda each time.
Because of his miraculous survival, Larry Stephenson worked actively in his community upon his return, serving as the Director of Civil Defense for Calcasieu Parish. After watching the destruction wracked by Hurricane Audrey from her family's picture window, Linda witnessed her father and others step up and serve those whose lives had been ended and upended in its wake. Her family's faith and dedication to others shaped Linda's experience and upbringing, and she hopes to bring some of the wisdom and insight her parents and their love brought to her, to others.
Her writing career has been dedicated to exploring, with the help of research, interviews, and the insight of experience, the ways love, faith, and trauma build and challenge individuals, relationships, and communities.

Image Control - Art Fascism and...

Patrick Nathan

Susan Sontag meets Hanif Abdurraqib in this fascinating exploration of the unexpected connections between how we consume images and the insidious nature of Fascism. 
 
 
 
Images come at us quickly, often without context. A photograph of Syrian children suffering in the wake of a chemical attack segues into a stranger's pristine Instagram selfie. Before we can react to either, a new meme induces a laugh and a share. While such constant give and take might seem innocent, even entertaining, this barrage of content numbs our ability to examine critically how the world, broken down into images, affects us. Images without context isolate us, turning everything we experience into mere transactions. It is exactly this alienation that leaves us vulnerable to fascism—a reactionary politics that is destroying not only our lives and our nations, but also the planet's very ability to sustain human civilization. 
 
 
  
Who gets to control the media we consume? Can we intervene, or at least mitigate the influence of constant content? Mixing personal anecdotes with historical and political criticism, Image Control explores art, social media, photography, and other visual mediums to understand how our culture and our actions are manipulated, all the while building toward the idea that if fascism emerges as aesthetics, then so too can anti-fascism.
