Synopsis

"Father Teaches Craft" explores the fading tradition of fathers passing down artisanal skills to their sons, a cornerstone of family and community life for centuries. It delves into how industrialization and the changing labor market disrupted this intergenerational learning, impacting both economic stability and the very definition of masculinity. The book highlights how this skill transmission went beyond mere job training; it solidified family bonds and ensured the continuation of valuable crafts.

 
The book examines the shift from handcrafts to mass production, revealing how the rise of factories rendered many inherited skills obsolete, leading to shifts in family dynamics and male identity. For instance, skills once vital for survival and status, such as blacksmithing or carpentry, diminished in value as machines took over. This societal change is not just a historical account but also an exploration of how the erosion of tangible skills can lead to a sense of disconnection.

 
 Spanning from pre-industrial societies to modern times, the book uses historical documents, oral histories, and sociological studies to paint a detailed picture of this transformation. It begins by establishing the historical context, then examines the impact of industrialization, and concludes by discussing the modern implications of this shift, offering a nuanced understanding of how economic changes have shaped society.

    In the following keynote address given at Saint Francis College, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan's concept of "The Medium Is The Message" from his seminal book, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. "The Medium Is The Message" proposed that the media--not the content that they carry--affects the society in which it plays a role and, thus, should be the primary focus of study. Levinson, a colleague of McLuhan’s, discusses how McLuhan’s ideas still hold true in today's environment of social media, digital publication, and proliferation of mass communication methods.

    A written companion and workbook for listeners seeking to reclaim their bodies as home in healing from sexual trauma. 
     
     
     
    Body rites as a holistic healing journey, anchored in the practice of decolonizing healing and reclaiming body sovereignty, reaches back into indigenous roots and land-based healing. It centers remembering as a means of survival. 
     
     
     
    This workbook is the first of its kind: a resource of rituals divided into four healing journeys for Black women, femmes, and nonbinary survivors of sexual assault. The experiential workbook moves beyond prescriptive self-help models by providing a gentle guide and liaison to explore the impact of sexual trauma on the mind, body, heart, and spirit. It is an invitation to heal holistically, drawing upon psychophysiology, lived body wisdom, trauma-informed embodiment practices, kinship and ancestral connections, and African spiritual practices. Most urgently, this book is a series of intimate conversations with your "self"; and remembrance that healing lives at the core of your intuition.

    C.S. Lewis For Beginners is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University. A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die. What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, he wrote eleven novels: the seven Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce, that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell. And that’s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today. C.S. Lewis For Beginners takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.
