Only Leave a Trace will appeal to those who work in universities, hold leadership roles in them, or care about the connections between higher education, students, and place. Between 60 and 80 percent of human communication is nonverbal, spoken in the physical languages of movement and touch. But while we are “talking” all the time, we lack a clear vocabulary and syntax of the body. In this fascinating book, dancer, choreographer, and visual artist Paula Josa-Jones combines her two greatest passions—movement and horses—in order to help us develop somatic awareness: Consciousness of breath, integrated and coherent motion, and development of movements and touch into sensitive channels of communication. Through stories and exercises, Josa-Jones demonstrates how connecting with the horse can develop this awareness. The body and mind of the horse and the human, she writes, are connected at the deepest levels—anatomically, energetically, psychically, spiritually, and emotionally. And because horses are authentic beings—their inside feelings and intentions match the outside expression and behavior—our interactions with them can help us become more aware of our inner emotional landscape and its relationship to what we are expressing outwardly. Horses offer us the opportunity to become more trustworthy and more comfortable in our own skin. By listening inwardly, feeling the connections between our mind states and our expression, we become more attuned to the currents passing among us, more able to blend, empathize, and act with balance, sensitivity, and kindness. Provocative takes on cyberbullshit, smartphone zombies, instant gratification, the traffic school of the information highway, and other philosophical concerns of the Internet age.In The Death Algorithm and Other Digital Dilemmas, Roberto Simanowski wonders if we are on the brink of a society that views social, political, and ethical challenges as technological problems that can be fixed with the right algorithm, the best data, or the fastest computer. For example, the “death algorithm” is programmed into a driverless car to decide, in an emergency, whether to plow into a group of pedestrians, a mother and child, or a brick wall. Can such life-and-death decisions no longer be left to the individual human?In these incisive essays, Simanowski asks us to consider what it means to be living in a time when the president of the United States declares the mainstream media to be an enemy of the people—while Facebook transforms the people into the enemy of mainstream media. Simanowski describes smartphone zombies (or “smombies”) who remove themselves from the physical world to the parallel universe of social media networks calls on Adorno to help parse Trump\'s tweeting considers transmedia cannibalism, as written text is transformed into a postliterate object compares the economic and social effects of the sharing economy to a sixteen-wheeler running over a plastic bottle on the road and explains why philosophy mat become the most important element in the automotive and technology industries. The relationship between spirituality and health care has been much discussed in recent years--and Daniel Sulmasy, M.D., is leading the wave. His 1997 book with Paulist, The Healer\'s Calling, has sold over 30,000 copies. And the fact that more and more med schools are teaching courses not just on bioethics but on religion and medicine suggests that this wave is growing. Sulmasy\'s spring 2006 volume with Georgetown, The Rebirth of the Clinic, is a textbook on spirituality and health care. This book is different: it is a work of spirituality, a series of meditations, of inspiration, aimed at health care professionals and all those involved in the care of the sick and dying. Like a Swiss lake, it is clear and deep. Sulmasy draws from philosophical and theological sources--specifically, Hebrew and Christian scripture--to illuminate how the art of healing is integrally tied to a sense of the divine and our ultimate interconnectedness. For example, Sulmasy shows how the ancient wisdom of Sirach speaks to the significance of good health--while not turning health into a golden calf of obsession. And speaking of obsession, Sulmasy compares the prodigal son of the New Testament to the prodigal profession of health care--urging his colleagues to put their patients ahead of their own greed and financial gain. And then there is beauty. Sulmasy reminds readers of the beauty of all god\'s creation--and how that should always trump our cultural and professional attitudes toward obesity and disfigurement. As a Franciscan, Sulmasy does not shy away from his explicit Catholic Christian faith convictions. This may limit his audience. But at the same time, his certitude and his passion that health care must change, that it must recover a theological foundation of fundamental concern for the other, will speak clearly to committed Catholics.
