Sinopsis

In a world awash with information and clamoring voices, we find ourselves yearning for meaning. We seek it in our relationships, our work, our hobbies, and our beliefs. Yet, the more we chase it, the more elusive it seems to become.

This book delves into the enigma of meaning, exploring its multifaceted nature and the challenges we face in our quest to find it. Drawing on insights from philosophy, psychology, art, and literature, it examines the role that language, authorship, and intention play in our understanding of meaning.

We investigate the existential dimensions of meaning, confronting the questions of life's purpose and the meaning of death. We explore the impact of technology and globalization on our understanding of meaning, and we consider the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Through a journey of exploration and self-discovery, this book invites us to embrace the mystery of meaning. It challenges us to question our assumptions, to think critically about the world around us, and to find our own unique path to meaning and fulfillment.

In these pages, you will encounter a diverse cast of thinkers, from philosophers and artists to scientists and theologians. You will grapple with their ideas, challenge your own assumptions, and ultimately come to a deeper understanding of the elusive nature of meaning.

This book is not a roadmap to finding meaning in life. It is a journey of exploration, a quest for understanding. It is an invitation to embrace the uncertainty and ambiguity of life, and to find meaning in the midst of it all.

    At a time of unprecedented challenges in relation not only to the climate crisis but also to children's and adolescents' mental health, connecting to nature offers an accessible and desirable way forward for today's learners - especially those living in urban surroundings.
    Bringing together evidence from psychology, environmental science and education, Alexia aims to support teachers as they provide meaningful experiences rooted in learning about and through nature. The book can be used in two ways: to inspire individual sessions in nature, or to support teachers in building a cohesive outdoor-learning curriculum throughout the school.
    Featuring practical advice, case studies and discussion of original theory, the book aims to inspire, motivate and stimulate educators to engage with alternative approaches to teaching in the outdoors and with nature in mind - and in such a way that promotes students' learning and fosters a long-lasting relationship with nature.

Detailing the physical and psychological benefits of being outdoors, the book suggests ways to help build young people's connection with nature and support their autonomy in naturalspaces. Alexia offersideas on how to weave nature and the outdoors into the very fabric of the curriculum - for example, in relation to art, literature and technology.
    Suitable for teachers and outdoor-learning leaders in early years through to secondary schools.

    A step-by-step workbook to help you move past anxious attachment and feel more confident in your relationships! 
     
     
     
    Has your romantic partner called you clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous? If they go out with their friends, do you worry that they might be flirting or hooking up with someone else? Do you often worry that they're going to leave you? If you find yourself constantly on the alert or anxious when it comes to your significant other, you may suffer from anxious attachment—a fear of abandonment that is often rooted in early childhood experiences. So, how can you move past this anxiety before it hurts—or even destroys—your relationship? 
     
     
     
    Based on the self-help hit by Leslie Becker-Phelps, The Insecure in Love Workbook offers engaging activities, tips, and exercises to help you overcome attachment anxiety by developing compassionate self-awareness. You'll learn to recognize physical sensations, negative thoughts, distressing emotions, and unhealthy behavior patterns that underlie your insecurity; and respond to them in a more nurturing way—rather than beating yourself up. You'll also discover how insecurity can overwhelm or paralyze you, negatively affecting the relationship between you and your partner. Finally, you'll develop the skills needed to stop repeating old patterns of self-doubt, neediness, and possessiveness.

    Strange Religion - How the First...

    The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. 
     
     
     
    Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning author, blogger, speaker, and New Testament teacher Nijay Gupta traces the emerging Christian faith in its Roman context in this accessible and engaging book. Christianity would have been seen as radical in the Roman world, but some found this new religion attractive and compelling. The first Christians dared to be different, pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable, transformed how people thought about religion, and started a movement that grew like wildfire. This book shows how the example of the earliest Christians can offer today's believers encouragement and hope.
