Creating Gaia Culture : Vision and Workbook
Humanity stands at the threshold of a new phase of Earth's planetary evolution.Breathtaking possibilities - in tune with the evolutionary path of the universe - are now available.Yet the question arises: Does humanity have the ideas, foresight and potential for action that could create a culture that corresponds to the planet's transformation?In the midst of distressing ecological crises, Marko Pogacnik offers fresh hope.Having worked intensively in the fields of holistic ecology (geomancy) and Earth-healing for four decades, he now formulates a vision of a culture based on co-creation with Gaia (the Earth), her elemental worlds and beings from parallel evolutions.Creating Gaia Culture is also a workbook, featuring dozens of drawings and meditative exercises to help transcend mental obstacles by cultivating the quality of living imagination.Pogacnik - UNO Goodwill Ambassador and UNESCO Artist for Peace - presents numerous ways to collaborate with the process of creating Gaia culture.He allows us to look into the primeval source of the future by interpreting the ancient book of the biblical Apocalypse - a text that holds the secret of Earth changes in a coded vision of a new human civilization - and uses his experiences, visions, dream stories and communications with beings from parallel worlds to trigger pictures that can enable a new human culture become a tactile reality.

China in the World : Culture, Politics, and World Vision
In China in the World, Ban Wang traces the evolution of modern China from the late nineteenth century to the present.With a focus on tensions and connections between national formation and international outlooks, Wang shows how ancient visions persist even as China has adopted and revised the Western nation-state form.The concept of tianxia, meaning “all under heaven,” has constantly been updated into modern outlooks that value unity, equality, and reciprocity as key to overcoming interstate conflict, social fragmentation, and ethnic divides.Instead of geopolitical dominance, China’s worldviews stem as much from the age-old desire for world unity as from absorbing the Western ideas of the Enlightenment, humanism, and socialism.Examining political writings, literature, and film, Wang presents a narrative of the country’s pursuits of decolonization, national independence, notions of national form, socialist internationalism, alternative development, and solidarity with Third World nations.Rather than national exceptionalism, Chinese worldviews aspire to a shared, integrated, and equal world.

Imagining the Earth : Poetry and the Vision of Nature
A landmark work in the burgeoning field of literary ecology, Imagining the Earth explores the ways in which our attitudes toward nature are mirrored in and influenced by poetry.In the work of some of our most widely read poets, says John Elder, one can discern a resurgent vision of humanity in harmony with the rest of the natural order. To show us the power of poetry to identify, interpret, and celebrate a wide range of issues related to nature and our place in it, Elder uses numerous examples of works by Gary Snyder, Wendell Berry, A.R. Ammons, Denise Levertov, and William Everson. Elder places these poets within a cultural tradition flowing from William Wordsworth through Alfred North Whitehead, T.S. Eliot, and Robinson Jeffers, and uses their poems to illuminate the relationships between culture and wilderness, imagination and landscape, and science and poetry.Elder's commentaries are interlinked with two remarkable essays in which he describes his ow

Can vision improve?
Yes, vision can improve in some cases. For example, wearing prescription glasses or contact lenses can help correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Additionally, certain eye exercises and vision therapy techniques may help improve focus, eye coordination, and overall visual function. It is important to consult with an eye care professional to determine the best course of action for improving vision.
-
What impairs vision?
Vision can be impaired by a variety of factors, including eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can also impair vision. Additionally, injuries to the eye or head, as well as certain medications and medical conditions such as diabetes, can contribute to impaired vision. Finally, aging can also lead to changes in vision, such as presbyopia.

What are the symptoms of double vision and blurry vision?
Double vision, also known as diplopia, is a condition where a person sees two images of a single object. This can be caused by misalignment of the eyes, nerve damage, or certain medical conditions. Blurry vision, on the other hand, is a loss of sharpness in vision, making objects appear out of focus or hazy. Both double vision and blurry vision can be symptoms of underlying health issues such as diabetes, cataracts, or neurological disorders. It is important to seek medical attention if experiencing these symptoms to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Eyes to See : The Astonishing Variety of Vision in Nature
Vision is the sense by which we and other animals obtain most of our information about the world around us.Darwin appreciated that at first sight it seems absurd that the human eye could have evolved by natural selection.But we now know far more about vision, the many times it has independently evolved in nature, and the astonishing variety of ways to see.The human eye, with a lens forming an image on a sensitive retina, represents just one.Scallops, shrimps, and lobsters all use mirrors in different ways.Jumping spiders scan with their front-facing eyes to check whether the object in front is an insect to eat, another spider to mate with, or a predator to avoid.Mantis shrimps can even measure the polarization of light. Animal eyes are amazing structures, often involving precision optics and impressive information processing, mainly using wet protein - not the substance an engineer would choose for such tasks.In Eyes to See, Michael Land, one of the leading world experts on vision, explores the varied ways in which sight has evolved and is used in the natural world, and describes some of the ingenious experiments researchers have used to uncover its secrets.He also discusses human vision, including his experiments on how our eye movements help us to do everyday tasks, as well as skilled ones such as sight-reading music or driving.He ends by considering the fascinating problem of how the constantly shifting images from our eyes are converted in the brain into the steady and integrated conscious view of the world we experience.

Co-Leadership in the Arts and Culture : Sharing Values and Vision
This book is about co-leadership: A leadership practice and structure often found in arts organizations that consist of two or three executives who bridge the art and business divide at the top. Many practitioners recognize this phenomenon but the research on this topic is limited and dispersed.This book assembles a coherent overview and presents new insights of the field.While co-leadership is well institutionalized in the West, it is also criticized for management’s constraint of artistic autonomy and for its pluralism that dilutes leadership clarity.However, co-leadership also personifies the strategic objectives of art, audiences, organization, and community, by addressing plural logics – navigating the demands of artistic vision and organizational stability.It is an integrating solution. The authors investigate its specifics in the arts, including global practice and its interdisciplinary nature.The theoretical frame of plural leadership supports their empirical explorations of the dynamics within the co-leadership relationship and with organizational stakeholders.Data includes the voices of co-leaders, artists, staff, and board members from arts organizations in Canada and Norway.Their abductive reflection generates a stimulating research experience. By viewing co-leadership in action, not as a study of static theories, the book will appeal not only to students and researchers but also resonate with practitioners in arts and cultural management and assist them to work with co-leadership and to manage its tensions.

Can Dolby Vision be used on a TV without Dolby Vision?
No, Dolby Vision cannot be used on a TV that does not support Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision is a high dynamic range (HDR) format that requires both content and display devices to be compatible with it in order to experience its benefits. If a TV does not support Dolby Vision, it will not be able to display content in Dolby Vision format, and the user will not be able to take advantage of its enhanced color, contrast, and brightness capabilities.
