Book Synopsis Christian Environmentalism and Human Responsibility in the 21st Century by : Katherine M. Quinsey
Download or read book Christian Environmentalism and Human Responsibility in the 21st Century written by Katherine M. Quinsey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Environmentalism and Human Responsibility in the 21st Century comprises original scholarly essays and creative works exploring the implications of Christian environmentalism through literary and cultural criticism and creative reflection. The volume draws on a flourishing recent body of Christian ecocriticism and environmental activity, incorporating both practical ethics and environmental spirituality, but with particular emphasis on the notion of human responsibility. It discusses responsibility in its dual sense, as both the recognized cause of environmental destruction and the ethical imperative of accountability to the nonhuman environment. The book crosses boundaries between traditional scholarly and creative reflection through a global range of topics: African oral tradition, Ohio artists off the grid, immigrant self-metaphors of land and sea, iconic writers from Milton to O’Connor to Atwood, and Indigenous Canadian models for listening to the nonhuman Mother of us all. In its incorporation of academic and creative pieces from scholars and creative artists across North America, this volume shows how environmental work of its nature and necessity crosses traditional academic and community boundaries. In both form and orientation, this collection speaks to the most urgent intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual needs of the present day. This book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and upper-level students interested in the relationship between religion and environment, ethics, animal welfare, poetry, memoir, and post-secularism.
Book Synopsis Daylighting Chedoke by : John Terpstra
Download or read book Daylighting Chedoke written by John Terpstra and published by James Street North Books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Chedoke Creek is one of six creeks that weave their way through Hamilton, but it is the most hidden, lost to culverts and concrete. Its waters are seen only in a couple of waterfalls as it flows over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment and in a short canal where it runs alongside Highway 403. In elegant, seamless prose award-winning author John Terpstra traces Chedoke Creek back to its source, searching through historical archives and city documents, and even walking up the great storm drains that collect the water that spills from the escarpment. He weaves the history of the creek with the lyrical observations of nature and humankind's connections to nature that he is celebrated for, while also examining the reality of our contaminated waterways. Daylighting Chedoke is a meditation on how urbanization and industrialization has literally buried our natural environment and what it would be like to free our creeks and perhaps, while doing so, free our society."--
Book Synopsis Hamilton Babylon by : Stephen Broomer
Download or read book Hamilton Babylon written by Stephen Broomer and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1966 at McMaster University by avant-garde filmmaker John Hofsess and future frat-comedy innovator Ivan Reitman, the McMaster Film Board was a milestone in the development of Canada's commercial and experimental film communities. McMaster's student film society quickly became the site of art filmmaking and an incubator for some of the country's most famous commercial talent - as the well as the birthplace of the first Canadian film to lead to obscenity charges, Hofsess's Columbus of Sex. In Hamilton Babylon, Stephen Broomer traces the history of the MFB from its birth as an organization for producing and exhibiting avant-garde films, through its transformation into a commercial-industrial enterprise, and into its final decline as a show business management style suppressed many of its voices. The first book to highlight the work of Hofsess, an innovative filmmaker whose critical role in the MFB has been almost entirely eclipsed by Reitman's legend, Hamilton Babylon is a fascinating study of the tension between art and business in the growth of the Canadian film industry.

Book excerpt: In This Orchard Sound, poet and woodworker John Terpstra takes the reader to an abandoned fruit orchard as it is being bulldozed. From the twisted limbs of apple, pear, and plum trees to cars dripping fluids far removed from the rain that once fell on the orchard grass, Terpstra asks questions of progress, grace, and the complicity of humanity in this short suite of poems. Only the birds answer his questions as he paces the old orchard, armed with his saw, gathering wood for his latest commission: a new cross for a local congregation.

Book Synopsis The Chemistry of Innovation by : Mo Duffy Cobb
Download or read book The Chemistry of Innovation written by Mo Duffy Cobb and published by . This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a farm boy from Prince Edward Island become a succesful businessman, mentor and community philanthropist? In 1970, Regis Duffy %38212; then dean of science at UPEI -- started a small chemical reagent company to create summer jobs for his students. Diagnostic Chemicals and its offspring, BioVectra, soon grew into global competitors in the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industry, employed hundreds of Islanders, and provided a model for entrepreneurship and economic development in Canada's smallest province. The key to his success? As Regis once said, "Innovate or die; the atlernative is not that appealing." The Chemistry of Innovation tells the behind the scenes story of DCL: the growing pains and leaps of faith of a comunity-minded business. To Regis, his team was everything. They were the creators, the innovators, the researchers who spent hot summers in the lab, the sales reps who found markets and won the business. This people-centred approach allowed DCL to grow from a makeshift basement lab into a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and planted the seed for a thrving biotech industry.

Book Synopsis Falling Into Place by : John Terpstra
Download or read book Falling Into Place written by John Terpstra and published by . This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is what happens when one person becomes completely enamoured of the landscape in the city where he lives - especially if this person, like John Terpstra, engages the world with the imagination and curiosity of a poet. Terpstra's investigations centre around the Iroquois Bar, a giant glacial sandbar which lies beneath one of Hamilton's busiest transportation corridors. Combining history and geology with gumshoe work and poetic intuition, Terpstra puzzles out just how much the physical and social geography of the area has changed since the sandbar was formed. This close study is nested inside a broader consideration of modern society's constant and often ill-considered alteration of landscape. Terpstra's acute focus on his neighbourhood offers insights of global value in a book that is both provocative and entertaining. Listed as one of the Hamilton Spectator's "Best books of the year" in 2002 for its appeal to "aficionados of history, geography, geology, poetic language, fine prose and the landscape around us."

Book excerpt: What could possibly go wrong with the advent of CRISPR genetic engineering? This is the story of Nobel-winning genomicist Dr. Frieda Sengmeuller, who invents "age-decoding" - a genetic engineering method that stops human aging. When most humans are age-decoded in the year 2053, Authority leaders secretly use CRISPR to also remove people's "propensity to dissent". They fake Frieda's suicide, containing her for two centuries as she is forced to research "reverse-aging". Frieda's daughter Ximena teams up with Authority insider Tavon Brooks to try to rescue her. This book depicts the moral challenges humanity could face with the impending tsunami of genetic engineering.
