Jessica Kingsley Publishers Cultural Perspectives on Mental Wellbeing:
Book SynopsisAs human migration brings an ever more diverse range of people, cultures and beliefs into contact, Western medical systems must adapt to cater for the different approaches it encounters towards illness, the body, gender, mental health and death.Based upon training courses taught by the author to staff at hospitals, mental health professionals, and on degree courses, this complete resource provides an essential foundation for understanding the complex and manifold approaches to medicine and health around the world. An awareness of this diversity moreover allows healthcare professionals to better engage with their patients and offer them satisfactory care and support in the future.Trade ReviewWestern medical science is in the midst of a massive re-evaluation of the nature of consciousness and how it manifests in the lives of humans. A key aspect of this movement is the role of spirituality in mental and physical health, and how these effects vary in different cultures. Natalie Tobert's Cultural Perspectives on Mental Wellbeing is a brilliant foray into this domain. This excellent treatise will be talked about for years to come by professionals and laypersons alike. -- Larry Dossey, MD, author of ONE MIND: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It MattersThis is an important study highlighting the human and philosophical inadequacy of scientific and medical materialism, which is taken for granted when educating young scientists and doctors. This consensus leads to the categorisation of many human experiences as anomalous in terms of this limited if powerful understanding. When one questions and puts aside the assumption that consciousness is produced by the brain, many of the experiences discussed by Natalie become explicable and point towards a wider and deeper scientific and medical outlook, which has been the mission of the Scientific and Medical Network for over 40 years. I would encourage all health professionals to read this book with an open mind. -- David Lorimer, Programme Director, Scientific and Medical NetworkDr. Tobert brings many arguments and data to highlight the transient way humans accept knowledge, set laws, and then change their minds about what is 'correct'. She notes a gap between the perspectives of physicians and their patients: what is normal in one geographical location is not normal in another. A shift is needed - towards a more culturally universal paradigm. The author argues for the need to address questions of spirituality and religion, materialistic and spiritual perspectives and their importance for health. The book contains chapters on death and dying and shows how various experiences, among them near-death and end-of-life experiences, can radically cause a shift in worldview. This is a thoughtful medical anthropology book that takes a penetrative look at the variability of human views of life. -- Erlendur Haraldsson, author of At the Hour of DeathIn seventeen neat chapters, each helpfully introduced and then summarised for clarity, the author tackles pertinent subjects including 'cultural beliefs about health and illness', 'beliefs about conception and human identity', 'women's bodies and human behaviour', and 'cultural knowledge on death and dying'. This is a worthwhile book, making an ideal companion to two College publications: 'Spirituality and Psychiatry' (Cook et al, 2009) and 'Spirituality and Narrative in Psychiatric Practice' (Cook et al, 2016). Members of the Spirituality and Psychiatry SIG will certainly find it rewarding. Others might find it surprisingly beneficial, both accessible and enlightening, too. -- Larry Culliford * British Journal of Psychiatry *Table of ContentsForeword. Preface. Part 1: Introduction. 1.

Anthem Press Religion in Schools: Learning Lessons from Wales
Book SynopsisTo what extent should religion be taught in classrooms? Should lessons also cover non-religious beliefs? Should the teaching of religion be compulsory or should it be a matter of choice by the parents or the child? Should faith schools be allowed to teach their religious beliefs? Should religious worship be compulsory for all pupils? Questions of how religion operates within schools prove controversial and divisive. This book explores radical changes that are being made in Wales and the lessons that can be learnt. It examines the historical development of the law in this area, the new Welsh law, its potential shortcomings and areas that the new law leaves untouched, namely the rules on religious worship. The book is written by a leading authority on the interaction of law and religion whose work fed into Welsh parliament debates on the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Act 2021.Trade Review‘Russell Sandberg has provided a crisp, clean, concise, and cogent expert’s guide to the impressive new experiment in religion and education afoot in Wales. Not only Welsh and UK readers, but anyone interested in the vexed questions of the roles and rights of religion in the classroom and curriculum need to read this learned text.’ – John Witte, Jr., Director, Center for the Study of Law and Religion, Emory University, USA.‘This short and very well-written book probes big issues: among them the implications of devolution for educational reform and - in more detail - the recent changes in the teaching of religion in the Welsh school system. I recommend it warmly.’ – Grace Davie, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Exeter, UK.‘In the aftermath of 9/11, the need for appropriate religious education has become a priority around the world. By analyzing the new Welsh system, this book addresses issues that are debated in many countries and outlines a model that can be replicated throughout Europe.’ – Silvio Ferrari, Emeritus Professor of Canon Law, University of Milan, Italy.‘This book aims to illuminate an area where there has often been more heat than light, and examines the new law with insight and nuance. It is a valuable contribution to current scholarship.’ – Helen Hall, Senior Lecturer and Associate Director of the Centre for Rights and Justice, Nottingham Trent University, UK.‘This engaging book charts how the teaching of religion is being transformed in Welsh schools and explores how other nations might learn from these changes. Essential reading for anyone interested in religion, law, and education.’ – Anna Strhan, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of York, UK.'Religion in Schools: Learning Lessons from Wales' is the leading text on the law of religion in Welsh Schools. Sandberg’s work is succinct and informative, giving the reader a clear understanding of both the current law in Wales and the historical development up until this point alongside the many challenges the new Welsh provisions pose. ... This text may be of interest to public lawyers more broadly.'Sandberg’s work is succinct and informative, giving the reader a clear understanding of both the current law in Wales and the historical development up until this point alongside the many challenges the new Welsh provisions pose. The book is divided into two sections: religious education and worship under English law; and the new Welsh law on Religion, Values, and Ethics. This book is an important read for anyone involved in the sociolegal issues of religion and education. The policy motivations and challenges which have occurred in Wales provide important lessons to other jurisdictions and may provide an indication of the direction of travel legislators wish to take — HOWARD DELLAR & REBECCA MARTIN; Ecclesiastical Law JournalSandberg has provided an excellent guide to the reform of religious education in Wales. His account is essential reading for those who want an accessible account of the discussions and debates that preceded the new legislation. Chapters are short, informative and well written—British Journal of Educational StudiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgments; 1.

Anthem Press A Historical and Theoretical Guide to Studying
Book SynopsisThis book, a guide to studying religion, has two parts. The first or historical part traces the rise of the academic study of religion from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Primary attention is given to the relation of studying religion to Romanticism and to its contrary relations to principal characteristics of Western modernity, especially its rational and materialist emphases. The second part of the book addresses matters that present uncertainties, problems, and even tensions within the field, such as, what is or should be meant by referring to some persons or groups as religious, why religion is so often a cause of tensions and even conflicts both within and between religious groups and between them and the increasingly nonreligious or secular quality of modern Western culture, and the problem that arises for the field by reason of scholars who, on one side, are themselves religious and who, on the other side, are nonreligious or secular. The book places this final difficulty, the difference and often the tension between religious and nonreligious approaches to the study of religion, in the role of a unifying theme of the book and offers a way by which this problem can be addressed and to a considerable degree reduced.Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction; Part One: Historical; 1. Modernity, Romanticism, and the Rise of Religious Studies; 2. Studying Religion and Cultural Faults Caused by Repression and Neglect; 3. Studying Religion and the Lack of Cultural Accesses to Needed Intangibles; 4. Studying Religion and the Cultural Need for More Adequate Worldviews; Part Two: Theoretical; 5. The Object of Religious Studies;6. The Position of the Person Studying Religion; 7. Taking into Account Religion’s Excesses and Complexities; 8.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sacred Natural Sites: Conserving Nature and
Book SynopsisSacred Natural Sites are the world's oldest protected places. This book focuses on a wide spread of both iconic and lesser known examples such as sacred groves of the Western Ghats (India), Sagarmatha /Chomolongma (Mt Everest, Nepal, Tibet - and China), the Golden Mountains of Altai (Russia), Holy Island of Lindisfarne (UK) and the sacred lakes of the Niger Delta (Nigeria). The book illustrates that sacred natural sites, although often under threat, exist within and outside formally recognised protected areas, heritage sites. Sacred natural sites may well be some of the last strongholds for building resilient networks of connected landscapes. They also form important nodes for maintaining a dynamic socio-cultural fabric in the face of global change. The diverse authors bridge the gap between approaches to the conservation of cultural and biological diversity by taking into account cultural and spiritual values together with the socio-economic interests of the custodian communities and other relevant stakeholders.Trade Review'This book is being published in the International Year of Biodiversity, which gives it special importance as an expression of the special relationship between people and the rest of nature. It offers us an opportunity to remind ourselves of the deep and meaningful relationships that many religions and faith communities have with nature, demonstrated by their devotion to sacred natural sites such as those described in these pages.' Julia Marton-Lef vre, Director General, International Union for Conservation of Nature, Gland, Switzerland 'If science is to serve life on this planet, we need more than just intellectual rigour, we also need ethical vigour. That demands values. But what might inform these? One basis is that which human experience has termed 'the sacred'. For some, 'the sacred' is a hypothetical concept. For others, it is a function of empirical experience in consciousness. Either way, this milestone of a book shows that the impact on nature conservation can be hugely positive, inviting scholarly critique and appreciation.' Professor Alastair McIntosh, Centre for Human Ecology, University of Strathclyde, UK and author of Soil and Soul 'Sacred Natural Sites sports an international all-star cast and concise, no-nonsense chapters. The study of sacred natural areas has come of age, and this is the book to prove it.'

Book SynopsisWith this book you receive insight into until now unknown correlations of life and death and into what awaits the soul of a person after the demise of the physical body in the beyond. This book is meant for everyone who wants to be free of the fear of death and go toward a conscious life, toward security, equanimity and inner steadfastness.

Answers are given to the important and current questions of our time, for instance: How can one judge organ transplantation from a spiritual point of view?
