Metamorphosis
‘Approaching the different and manifold sequences in this book... one will gradually come to realise that metamorphosis can become an ideal for knowledge, a guiding path for self-knowledge and knowledge of the world – as intuitive contemplation and as artistic creation.’ – Dr Peter Wolf What is metamorphosis? Through the medium of art, sculptor Gertraud Goodwin invites us to enter the realm of time and continuously changing movement in this highly original book. With chapters by various artists and writers, interwoven with her key insights, Goodwin offers numerous points of entry to understanding the mystery of metamorphosis. Profusely-illustrated in colour, we are shown many sequenc...
The Wholeness of Nature
"In the course of every human life, moments come -- often so quietly as to be almost unrecognized -- that are so subtle and unobtrusive, they pass without one being fully aware of them. These moments are like the gentle tones of birds singing in their sleep, the faint sound of a bell ringing far away, or the gentle touch of an invisible hand. "Nevertheless, all these moments, perceived or unperceived, are manifestations of destiny in each human life, 'the evidence of things not seen.' They express the secret language of the heart and invite one to begin a journey. They involve taking important steps on a life path, which one senses instinctively will ultimately lead to the light of one's own...
Rhythms of Learning
"The primary task of a Waldorf teacher is to understand the human being in body, soul, and spirit. From this understanding will grow the approach, the curriculum, and the methods of an education capable of addressing the whole child." --Roberto Trostli Waldorf education, an established and growing independent school movement, continues to be shaped and inspired by Rudolf Steiner's numerous lectures on education. In Rhythms of Learning, key lectures on children and education have been thoughtfully chosen from the vast amount of material by Steiner and presented in a context that makes them approachable and accessible. In his many discussions and lectures, Steiner shared his vision of an educa...
Consensus Design
Consensus Design offers a practical step by step guide to co-design; an increasingly important consideration for architects as they compete for work. The text moves from identifying the methodology of the process to developing a series of principles and practical steps which illustrate how consensus design can be established. For easy reference, flow charts show the process of achieving consensus design and include variations for different types of project and different groups of people. It gives clear timings so that agreements can be reached within a specific time frame, and also features a number of case studies to illustrate consensus design principles in practice. Case studies include p...
Nature's Open Secret
At the young age of twenty-one, Rudolf Steiner was chosen to edit Goethe's scientific writings for the principle Geothe edition of his time. Goethe's literary genius was universally acknowledged; it was Steiner's task to understand and comment on Goethe's scientific achievements. Steiner recognized the significance of Goethe's work with nature and his epistemology, and here began Steiner's own training in epistemology and spiritual science. This collection of Steiner's introductions to Goethe's works re-visions the meaning of knowledge and how we attain it. Goethe had discovered how thinking could be applied to organic nature and that this experience requires not just rational concepts but a whole new way of perceiving. In an age when science and technology have been linked to great catastrophes, many are looking for new ways to interact with nature. With a fundamental declaration of the interpenetration of our consciousness and the world around us, Steiner shows how Goethe's approach points the way to a more compassionate and intimate involvement with nature.
Din gestalt bakom dörren : en berättelse
Avdelningschef Ewald från Verner Flack & Co. åker en regnig vårkväll ut till sin sovstad. För första gången i sitt liv känner han sig iakttagen och förföljd — Hemma bakom den trygga dörren i Blomsterkransen väntar hans hustru. Men dessutom en betydligt större och mera omskakande överraskning. Med ett slag slungas Ewald in i en malström av vanvettiga situationer, skandaler och äventyr som mera liknar en mardröm än den verklighet som han hittills har litat på — Offer för mörka försåt virvlas Ewald framåt i Bo Carpelans uppsluppna och thrillerartade berättelse. Helsingfors och London bildar bakgrunden till denna otroligt troliga eller troligt otroliga och djupt oroande historia om en vardag som ställs på sin spets — det kunde vara du!
New Eyes for Plants
Here are fresh ways of seeing nature on a journey through the seasons with observation and drawing exercises. Simple observation exercises interwoven with inspiring illustrations invite you 'to see' with a fresh pair of eyes.

General and Applied Aspects of Halophilic Microorganisms
During recent years the subject of extreme environments and extremophiles has become a central topic in modern Biology. The capability of some microorganisms to withstand, and often prefer, the harsh conditions found in such environments is helping to define the physicho-chemicallimits of life and in consequence its essential nature. Halophiles are one of the most representative types of extremophiles, requiring high concentrations of inorganic salts, mostly sodium chloride, to grow and survive. They inhabit hypersaline environments, the distribution and abundance of which dur ing geological eras are attested by the vast amounts of evaporite rocks present in the Earth crust and by their role...
Development Practitioners and Social Process
Kaplan (founder and leader of the Community Development Resource Association in Cape Town, South Africa) explores the practice of organization development and group change. Drawing on his consulting experience as well as on the work of Goethe and Jung, he challenges the tendency to reduce development to a technical operation that attempts to control. The 23 chapters address the complexity of the process of social transformation, describing social change and providing exercises through which practitioners can enhance their abilities to respond to a mixture of chaos and order. They also show how development groups can intervene in social situations in a humane and effective manner. Distributed by Stylus. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
