When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?” But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future. In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same.

How Things Count as the Same - Robert P. Weller - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

How Things Count as the Same - Robert P. Weller - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In their third book together, Adam B. Seligman and Robert P. Weller address a seemingly simple question: What counts as the same? Given the myriad differences that divide one individual from another, why do we recognize anyone as somehow sharing a common fate with us? For that matter, how do we live in harmony with groups who may not share the sense of a common fate? Such relationships lie at the heart of the problems of pluralism that increasingly face so much of the world today.Note that "counting as" the same differs from "being" the same. Counting as the same is not an empirical question about how much or how little one person shares with another or one event shares with a previous event. Nothing is actually the same. That is why, as humans, we construct sameness all the time. In the process, of course, we also construct difference. Creating sameness and difference leaves us with the perennial problem of how to live with difference instead of seeing it as a threat. How Things Count as the Same suggests that there are multiple ways in which we can count things as the same, and that each of them fosters different kinds of group dynamics and different sets of benefits and risks for the creation of plural societies. While there might be many ways to understand how people construct sameness, three stand out as especially important and form the focus of the book''s analysis: Memory, Mimesis, and Metaphor.

War As Ever! - Tracy Mackenna - Bog - Onomatopee - Plusbog.dk

War As Ever! - Tracy Mackenna - Bog - Onomatopee - Plusbog.dk

Tracy Mackenna & Edwin Janssen are interested in the relationship between conflict, looking and art. In War as Ever!, through visual reflection on images of war and violence they investigated the relationship between seventeenth century visual representations and the contemporary role of the media in the representation of war and violence. War is of all times, so war is now. By making us aware of war and its consequences, and by undermining representations of war, can artists play a role in preventing and ending wars? How can artists make works that relate to war in productive ways? How can the museums and archives that conserve and interpret our memories of war develop their role to mediate for art? The Van Kittensteyn album, a collection of more than 500 prints and drawings dating from 1613 whose subject is the Eighty Years’ Dutch-Spanish War of 1568–1648, served as a starting point. The album, currently part in the collection of the Atlas van Stolk (Museum Rotterdam), was compiled by Willem Luytsz van Kittensteyn of Delft and portrays in bloody reportage the lengthy series of battles; sieges, executions and plundering that dominated the Dutch war of independence against the Spanish. The slide projection WAR AS EVER!: Eighty Years and One Day, also shown at Onomatopee, is made up of a selection of prints from the Van Kittensteyn album and newspaper excerpts reporting the Iraq war on April 1st 2003, the day Tracy and Edwin’s daughter was born. The full exhibition project as shown at the Nederlands Fotomuseum consisted of a double screen slide projection, performative actions, text posters, photographs, educational activities and a conference. The posters included here and designed by the artists, show a series of quotes from Susan Sontag’s book ‘Regarding the Pain of Others’.

Believing is not the same as Being Saved - Lisa Martin - Bog - University of Alberta Press - Plusbog.dk

Believing is not the same as Being Saved - Lisa Martin - Bog - University of Alberta Press - Plusbog.dk

Lisa Martin’s new poetry collection seeks the kind of lyric truth that lives in paradox, in the dwelling together of seeming opposites such as life and death, love and loss, faith and doubt, joy and sorrow. Here readers will find a range of moods, tones, and subjects, as well as both traditional and contemporary forms—from sonnets to prose poems. This is a collection imbued with the light of an enduring, if troubled, faith. With its focus on spirit, ethics, and how to live well, Believing is not the same as Being Saved offers a tender meditation on the moments that make a life.There’s a way of speaking as if the difference matters, as if the road home is finite—everything begins and ends somewhere, like your hand in mine, or how last light fractures in the limbs of pine—while beyond my window, a coyote follows a trail into the dusk that only it can see. — from "Map for the road home"

Same-Sex Marriage in the United States - Jason A. Pierceson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Same-Sex Marriage in the United States - Jason A. Pierceson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Same-sex marriage has become one of the defining social issues in contemporary U.S. politics. State court decisions finding in favor of same-sex relationship equality claims have been central to the issue’s ascent from nowhere to near the top of the national political agenda. Same Sex Marriage in the United States tells the story of the legal and cultural shift, its backlash, and how it has evolved over the past 15 years. This book aids in a classroom examination of the legal, political, and social developments surrounding the issue of same-sex marriage in the United States. While books about same-sex marriage have proliferated in recent years, few, if any, have provided a clear and comprehensive account of the litigation for same-sex marriage, and its successes and failures, as this book does. Updated through 2013, this edition details the watershed rulings in favor of same-sex marriage: the Supreme Court''s June 26th repeal of DOMA, and of Proposition 8 in California, as well as the many states (New Jersey, Illinois, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Nevada among others) where activists and public leaders have made recent strides to ensure that gay couples have an equal right to marry.

Debating Same-Sex Marriage - Maggie Gallagher - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Debating Same-Sex Marriage - Maggie Gallagher - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

As the uproar over the recent New York State law demonstrates, same-sex marriage is a perennial hot-button issue, certain to impact the 2012 election. Debating Same-Sex Marriage provides a useful roadmap to both sides of this contentious matter. Taking a "point/counterpoint" approach, John Corvino (a philosopher and a prominent gay advocate) and Maggie Gallagher (a nationally syndicated columnist and co-founder of the National Organization for Marriage) consider key questions about the institution itself: What is marriage for? Is marriage meant to be a gendered institution? Why is the state in the business of sanctioning marriage? Where do the needs of children fit in? Will legalization of same-sex marriage lead to legalization of polygamy? Corvino argues that society should support same-sex marriage because of its interest in supporting stable households for all its members, gay and straight alike. Gallagher argues that government recognition of same-sex unions as marriages will disconnect marriage from its key public mission furthering responsible procreation, while stigmatizing traditional views of sex, marriage and family as bigotry. Both agree that the issue deserves thoughtful, rigorous engagement.

Same Sum - Peter Happel Christian - Bog - Conveyor Editions - Plusbog.dk

Same Sum - Peter Happel Christian - Bog - Conveyor Editions - Plusbog.dk

We are excited to announce the launch of Same Sum, a new photobook by Peter Happel Christian that playfully explores observation, chance, and the everyday magic of ordinary life. The included photographs are part of an ongoing, expansive project of the same name that began as intentional exercises in observation. The result is a vast collection of subjects and situations—some found, others constructed—that occur in parallel to Happel Christian’s daily life. The title takes inspiration from an Italo Calvino essay wherein experience is fluid and meanings are flexible—that within the finite is an infinite. Similarly, the images in Same Sum have no fixed sequence, allowing for the possibility of seemingly endless experiences of the same images. The book’s interactive design is inspired by card games and magic tricks; the double coil bound format creates two decks of photographs to riffle shuffle, creating a unique set of image combinations determined by chance with each read.

Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship the Same God?: Four Views - - Bog - Zondervan - Plusbog.dk

Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship the Same God?: Four Views - - Bog - Zondervan - Plusbog.dk

During a time of global conflict, the theological question of whether Muslims, Jews, and Christians worship the same God carries political baggage. Is the God of ISIS the same as the God of Israel? Do Sunni Muslims and Protestant Christians pray to the same Creator and Sustainer of the universe? In this Counterpoints volume, five leading scholars present the main religious perspectives on this question, demonstrating how to think carefully about an issue where opinions differ and confusion abounds. - All Worship the Same God: Religious Pluralist View (Wm. Andrew Schwartz and John B. Cobb, Jr.) - All Worship the Same God: Referring to the Same God View (Francis J. Beckwith) - Jews and Christians Worship the Same God: Shared Revelation View (Gerald R. McDermott) - None Worship the Same God: Different Conceptions View (Jerry L. Walls) Contributors examine related subtopics such as: - The difference between God being referentially the same and essentially the same - What "the same" means when referring to God - The significance of the Trinity in this discussion - Whether religious inclusivism is inferred by certain understandings of God''s sameness - The appropriateness of interfaith worship. Additional essays by Joseph Cumming and David W. Shenk explore the implications of this question specifically for Christians wanting to minister among, and build relationships with, Muslims. Insightful, gracious, and relevant, Do Christians, Muslims, and Jews Worship the Same God? sheds light on one of the most important theological issues of our day. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
