saving nature
The edge of darkness
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chase, Mary Ellen, PUBLISHER: Norton, How the mystery of the Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood.In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah's Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world's flood stories and--drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists--discovered the counterintuitive role Noah's Flood played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology's founding principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer's eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.

Insights of Genius: Imagery and Creativity in Science and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miller, Arthur I., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), How can new knowledge be created from already existing knowledge? "Insights of Genius" shows how seeing is central to the greatest advances of the human intellect. Artists and scientists alike rely on visual representations of worlds both visible and invisible. "Insights of Genius, " first published by Copernicus in , explores the creative leaps that led some of the greatest scientists and artists to dramatically transform how we understand nature. The scope of figures runs from Galileo and da Vinci to Einstein and Picasso. Focusing on the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the age of modern art and modern physics, the book travels through the philosophy of mind and language, cognitive science, neurophysiology, and art history.

Comrades and Christians: Religions and Political Struggle in
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kertzer, David I. / Kertzer, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book examines the popular bases of Communist influence in Italy, focusing on the struggle between the Catholic Church and the Communist Party for the allegiance of the Italian people. The author details the ways in which the citizens resolve the central paradox of Italy, which lies in its beings the home both of the Vatican and of the largest Communist party of any non-Communist nation. He discusses the local structure of the Party, including its many allied organisations and the nature of participation in Party affairs, and stresses its role in local social life. In this study, Professor Kertzer draws upon the experiences and observations of a year spent in a working-class quarter of Bologna, the capital of Italian Communism. While the national Communist Party calls for conciliation with the Church, there is an ancient tradition of anti-clericalism in this area. Moreover, the official Church position excludes the possibility of people being both Catholic and Communist. The implications of this situation for local-level tactics of Church and Party, and how people divide their allegiances between the competing claims, form the primary theme of the book.
Laughter and Ridicule: Towards a Social Critique of Humour
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Billig, Mick / Billig, Michael, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), From Thomas Hobbes' fear of the power of laughter to the compulsory, packaged "fun" of the contemporary mass media, Billig takes the reader on a stimulating tour of the strange world of humour. Both a significant work of scholarship and a novel contribution to the understanding of the humourous, this is a seriously engaging book' - David Inglis, University of Aberdeen This delightful book tackles the prevailing assumption that laughter and humour are inherently good. In developing a critique of humour the author proposes a social theory that places humour - in the form of ridicule - as central to social life. Billig argues that all cultures use ridicule as a disciplinary means to uphold norms of conduct and conventions of meaning. Historically, theories of humour reflect wider visions of politics, morality and aesthetics. For example, Bergson argued that humour contains an element of cruelty while Freud suggested that we deceive ourselves about the true nature of our laughter. Billig discusses these and other theories, while using the topic of humour to throw light on the perennial social problems of regulation, control and emancipation.

Time Bandit: Two Brothers, the Bering Sea, and One of the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hillstrand, Johnathan / Hillstrand, Andy / MacPherson, Malcolm, PUBLISHER: Ballantine Books, Every Alaskan king crab season, brothers Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand risk their lives and seek their fortunes upon the treacherous waters of the Bering Sea. Sons of a hard-bitten, highly successful fisherman, and born with brine in their blood, the Hillstrand boys couldn't imagine a life without a swaying deck underfoot and a harvest of mighty king crabs waiting to be pulled from the ocean floor. In pursuit of their daily catch, the brothers brave ice floes and heaving waves sixty feet high, the perils of thousand-pound steel traps thrown about by the punishing wind, and the constant menace of the open, hungry water--epitomized in the chorus of a haunting sailors' sing-along: "Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep, so beware, beware." By turns raucous and reflective, exhilarating and anguished, enthralling, suspenseful, and wise, Time Bandit chronicles a larger-than-life love affair as old as civilization itself--a love affair between striving, willful man and inscrutable, enduring nature.
Leisure: The Basis of Culture: Including the Philosophical
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pieper, Josef / Dru, Alexander / Schall, James V., PUBLISHER: Ignatius Press, One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Josef Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial, today than it was when it first appeared more than fifty years ago. This edition also includes his work The Philosophical Act. Leisure is an attitude of the mind and a condition of the soul that fosters a capacity to perceive the reality of the world. Pieper shows that the Greeks and medieval Europeans, understood the great value and importance of leisure. He also points out that religion can be born only in leisure -- a leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. Pieper maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for non-activity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture -- and ourselves.
International Business in China
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kelley, Lane / Shenkar, Oded, PUBLISHER: Routledge, The West has long been ignorant of cultural and political processes in China. Today, a growing number of Westerners are becoming aware of China's real and giant potential as a player in the international business arena. As business becomes increasingly international, it is vital to understand the concrete nature of business and underlying attitudes in the world's most populated country. This volume presents a unique view of the major facets of international business in China. It examines the workings of finance and accounting, law, management, and marketing as well as trade, foreign direct investment, and the management of foreign subsidiaries. Discussion of such functional areas is placed firmly in the context of developments in China in recent years, with special emphasis placed on implications for firms doing business in or with China. Succinct, up-to-date analysis is combined with practical guidelines and recommendations for the business person. This highly international book is an important step towards demystification of the workings of international business. The material presented is from leading experts in business from around the world who write from direct experience of business in China.
The New Wolves
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bass, Rick, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, Lobos, or Mexican wolves, once roamed freely throughout Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas until they were hunted to extinction when big cattle interest came to the Southwest. Now, a Mexican wolf reintroduction -- similar to the Yellowstone efforts for its cousin the gray wolf -- is underway in the Blue Mountains of Arizona. But cattle have overgrazed the fragile land, damaging the ecosystem that barely sustains their vast numbers. Can this environment sustain wolves? With the literary talent and naturalist's sensibility he brought to his highly praised account of a family of wolves in Montana, The Ninemile Wolves, Rick Bass examines the circumstances of the Mexican wolves' arrival: the exhausted soil of the land, the behavior and requirements of wolves, and the concerns of ranchers and environmentalists. "The New Wolves" brings to life a place -- its people and its wildlife, its past and its future. Bass articulates the land's need for wolves to maintain balance, while masterfully depicting the modern conflict between nature and our need to control it. Part meditation, part probing journalism, "The New Wolves" is an important new chapter in the drama of wolves and the American West.

The Challenge of Islam: The Prophetic Tradition, Lectures,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Norman O. / Neu, Jerome / Simpson, Mathew E., PUBLISHER: North Atlantic Books, "The Prophetic Tradition: The Challenge of Islam "is an enlightening set of lectures given by Norman O. Brown during the s, exploring a wide-ranging array of topics concerning Islam. Brown reveals the overlooked relationship between Islam and early Christianity, exploring Islam's relation to, and revision of, the Christian tradition, the literary innovation of the Qu'ran, the nature of revolutionary and political Islam, and the vision of a world civilization. Throughout these lectures, which are remarkably pertinent today, Brown seeks to educate the reader on misunderstood areas of Islam, including the split between the Sunni and Shi'ite sects and Islam's exemplification of the broad themes of art and imagination in human life. The author's world-historical perspective of religion and tradition gives readers a crucial alternative to the divisive "clash of civilizations" view that paints Islam as at odds with the West. He exposes the unifying strands between Islam and early Judeo-Christian doctrine, showing that Islam is in fact a genuine part of "Western" tradition, and more importantly, part of a global tradition that embraces us all.

Jumping Fire: A Smokejumper's Memoir of Fighting Wildfire in
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor, Murry A. / Steele, Kati, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), During one incendiary summer, Murry Taylor kept an extensive journal of his day-to-day activities as an Alaskan smokejumper. It wasn't his first season fighting wildfires, and he's far from being a rookie-he's been on the job since . Through this narrative of one busy season, Taylor reflects on the years of training, the harrowing adrenaline-fueled jumps, his brushes with death, the fires he conquered, and the ones that got away. It's a world full of bravado, one with epic battles of man versus nature, resulting in stories of death-defying defeats, serious injury, and occasionally tragedy. We witness Taylor's story; learn of the training, preparation, technology, and latest equipment used in fighting wildfires; and get to know his fellow smokejumpers in the ready room, on the tundra, and in the vast forests of one of the last great wilderness areas in the world. Often thrilling and informative and always entertaining, Taylor's memoir is one of the first autobiographical accounts of a legendary career.
The Tao of Elvis
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rosen, David, PUBLISHER: Mariner Books, "The Tao is great, the king is also great."--Lao Tzu "I'm a soul, a spirit, a force. I have no interest in anything of this world. I want to live in another dimension entirely."--Elvis Presley "Elvis thought the Tao was just another name for God."--Larry Geller, Elvis's spiritual adviser and friend Elvis Presley was an intensely spiritual man. Gospel was his music of choice, and his life--from innocence to addiction, from obscurity to fame, from "Hound Dog" to "Love Me Tender"--was one long quest to balance opposites. "The Tao of Elvis" is the first attempt to illustrate Elvis's Taoist nature and interpret his never-ending search for purpose and meaning. Highlighting Elvis's journey from light into dark, Jungian expert and Elvis scholar David Rosen explores and examines his life through the structure of the Tao Te Ching. In reflections on forty-two Taoist concepts--one for each year of Elvis's life--Rosen reveals how the Tao, a mysterious force, was and is operating through America's king. Like the Tao, Elvis is everywhere.
A Galaxy of Creative Prose
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kincade, Libby, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, I have always had a penchant for writing and there was always a fascination about beautiful words that intrigued me. Also, because of my love for nature and the world that surrounds us with its endless beauty, despite the destructive tendencies of mankind to destroy it, I still am in awe of its wonderment, which motivates my desire to write. Most of my poetry are composites of blank verse, seldom rhyming, as I rarely conform to a definite iambic meter. I just merely let the words flow as God instructs me, whenever my creative expressions tend to exude. I am affiliated with several writing groups, The Alcott Writers Group, Garyas Writers Workshop and The National Society of Poetry. Among my published works was a dual effort contributed by my late mother, Mrs. Inez M. Thurman, and I entitled, aMeditations of a Mother and Daughter, a published by Carlton Press of New York city. Also, an entry, the poem aSummeras Adieu, a in a volume entitled An Evolving Secret published by the American Society of Poetry.
