An exploration of pilgrimage, through 19 breath-taking sights across the globe

How Pilgrimage Changed the World

23 real-life stories revealing the rules for working successfully across cultures There is no excuse for cultural ignorance in the 21st century. The greatest factor affecting the success or failure of a global business is understanding the cultural differences that lie hidden, like minefields, in the day-to-day work. Recognize and manage these cultural differences, and you accelerate your success; ignore them and they will undermine your global performance. &nbsp; Business Beyond Borders&nbsp;explains culture through real-life stories that resonate and bring it to life. From negotiating with Bedouins in the Libyan Sahara, to managing a team of Russians in Moscow, from out-running an earthquake during a keynote presentation in Tokyo, to losing a government "handler" in Beijing, each of the 23 stories illustrates a critical cultural issue that global managers need to understand today. With a summary of the "golden global rules" that everyone working in the global 21st century needs to know,&nbsp;Business Across Borders&nbsp;is a celebration of what makes all of us around the world-all so different-simultaneously all the same.

Join travel writer Angie Orth on a journey of self-discovery as she empowers readers to buck expectations, take leaps of faith, and trust that God’s plan is better than anything we think we want for our lives. Angie Orth should have had at least 2.5 kids by now—everyone else back home did. Despite a successful PR career in New York, Angie was failing at the roles she was born to play—those of submissive wife and grandchild incubator. Without a potential husband in sight or the hope of a photogenic brood to show off, she was beginning to wonder if God forgot about her. &nbsp; With her thirtieth birthday looming, Angie was at a crossroads. Should she hightail it home to find a man like a “good girl” or continue running the rat race in New York City and hope for the best? &nbsp; Orth chose Plan C: Escape! She quit her job, launched a travel blog, and booked a one-way ticket to the South Pacific while her Southern family gnashed their teeth in protest. But the timing couldn’t have been worse for a solo trip: she found herself dodging tsunamis, earthquakes, revolutions, grabby men, and incessant DMs from her worrywart relatives over a journey that spanned five continents. In the midst of her global misadventures, Orth’s hilarious, vulnerable journey of faith and wanderlust demonstrates that God’s plan is so much more creative than society’s expectations. Fasten your seatbelt for this sassy, relatable memoir about living life unscripted yet still on mission. By the time readers turn the last page of&nbsp;Flirting with Disaster, they’ll feel empowered, knowing God’s vision is better than anything we think we want—or are supposed to want—for our lives. And they’ll be ready to take on the world in their own way.

East Indians in a West Indian Town

Drawing on multiple genres of Tibetan literature from the 13th to 20th centuries--including foundational narratives of holy places, polemical debates about the value of pilgrimage, written guides to holy sites, advice texts, and personal diaries--Making the Invisible Real investigates how the Tibetan pilgrimage tradition tries to transform pilgrims' perception so that they might experience the wondrous sacred landscape as real and materially present. Catherine Anne Hartmann argues that the pilgrimage tradition does not simply assume that pilgrims experience this sacred landscape as real, but instead leads pilgrims to adopt deliberate practices of seeing: ways of looking at and interacting with the world that shape their experience of the holy mountain.

This book offers first-hand accounts of the complexities and challenges that researchers have encountered when researching religion, values, and culture.

Messy Methods in Researching Religion

Associated with 'gleaming spires' and 'ivory towers', academia has often been seen as a space for social and cultural elites where the knowledge produced is disconnected from, if not outright disdainful of, the 'real world'. This book explores the forms of power that shape academic knowledge production. Looking specifically at the case of British sociology, and doing so through its modes, styles, and everyday practices of writing, the book examines how certain forms of writing are deployed to assert intellectual legitimacy and claim an elevated rung on the knowledge hierarchy. It offers a rich and personal ethnographic examination of the structural, intellectual, and affective factors which shape the way sociologists write and the knowledge they produce. Writing power details how academics and intellectuals engage with the politics of writing in order to position themselves within the politics of knowledge. The book argues for a more textured approach to understanding power relations in the field of knowledge production through its demonstrations of how scholars use their writing and writing practices to narrate themselves into legitimacy and position themselves with value in both disciplinary and wider intellectual spaces.

Writing Power

Rivers are the great natural arteries that run through our lives. We have navigated them, dammed them and worshipped at them. From the ancient ecosystems of Egypt to the sinking cities of Shanghai and London, what we do with our rivers tells us about who has power and what we value. Now, when environmental regulations are at their strongest and a passion for wild swimming is flourishing, when the Amazon is on fire and some of our major river systems are dying, it has never been clearer that rivers are intertwined with humanity at our best and our worst. Seven Rivers is story of the Nile, Danube, Niger, Mississippi, Ganges, Yangtze and the Thames. It is a story of imperial frontiers, alluvial gold, kidnappings, slavery, de-colonialism, creation myths and the killing of rivers. It is about those who've lived and died on these rivers and their endless capacity for invention: their harnessing of oases and aquifers, their lotus pools and hanging gardens, their gigantic canal systems and elaborate fishing rituals, their absolute powers and their sly rebellions. At its heart are the empire-builders of the Chinese dynasties, Romans and Hindus and their river gods, the Habsburgs and Ottomans, Mughal emperors, the people of the Niger from Mali's golden age to today, struggles of life and death on the Mississippi, and the dethroning of the British on the rivers of their unruly imperial subjects. This is the story of us, in seven rivers.
