Download or read book Gaia's Wager written by Gary C. Bryner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2001 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can environmentalism evolve into a powerful social movement that transforms human practices in ways that are ecologically sustainable? Gary C. Bryner contends that it is in our self-interest as a species to ensure that environmental movements coalesce in the service of sustainability. From the very first Earth Day to the setting of Agenda 21 for the new millennium, this book traces the actors, the issues, and the institutions involved in moving environmentalism from a loose collection of fuzzy groups and goals to a new global force for change. Will the next phase of environmental action resemble the WTO protests in Seattle, the UN Kyoto Protocols, or a Think Tank inside the Washington Beltway? Gaia's Wager shows that movements play an important role between political parties and interest groups on the domestic scene and the unruly forces of globalization internationally. Only social movements can catalyze a response to the global environmental threat that has a chance of both capturing imaginations and institutionalizing progress toward environmental sustainability. Above all, Gaia's Wager bets on the confluence of big ideas and social action to yield a more hopeful environmental future.
Book Synopsis Thinking Like a Planet by : J. Baird Callicott
Download or read book Thinking Like a Planet written by J. Baird Callicott and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together ecology, evolutionary moral psychology, and environmental ethics, J. Baird Callicott counters the narrative of blame and despair that prevails in contemporary discussions of climate ethics and offers a fresh, more optimistic approach. Whereas other environmental ethicists limit themselves to what Callicott calls Rational Individualism in discussing the problem of climate change only to conclude that, essentially, there is little hope that anything will be done in the face of its "perfect moral storm" (in Stephen Gardiner's words), Callicott refuses to accept this view. Instead, he encourages us to look to the Earth itself, and consider the crisis on grander spatial and temporal scales, as we have failed to in the past. Callicott supports this theory by exploring and enhancing Aldo Leopold's faint sketch of an Earth ethic in "Some Fundamentals of Conservation in the Southwest," a seldom-studied text from the early days of environmental ethics that was written in 1923 but not published until 1979 after the environmental movement gathered strength.
Download or read book Kykeon written by H.F.J. Horstmanshoff and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of papers with new insights on ancient religion, read at a colloquium in honour of Professor H.S. Versnel ("Inconsistencies in Greek and Roman Religion"). The contributions, presented by nine leading scholars in the field, cover many areas of the religious experience of the Greeks and Romans: myth and ritual (W. Burkert), the gods (F. Zeitlin), cult, festivals, sacrifice. Several papers consider methodological problems and the progress of scholarship; they highlight the contribution of H.S. Versnel to the field. The papers are based on a wide range of sources: pagan and Christian, literary and epigraphical and iconographical. The collection will fascinate all scholars interested in ancient religion, whether they study malign magic, the Imperial cult or general theory.
Download or read book Gaia's Gift written by Anne Primavesi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaia's Gift, the second of Anne Primavesi's explorations of human relationships with the earth, asks that we complete the ideological revolution set in motion by Copernicus and Darwin concerning human importancene. They challenged the notion of our God-given centrality within the universe and within earth's evolutionary history. Yet as our continuing exploitation of earth's resources and species demonstrates, we remain wedded to the theological assumption that these are there for our sole use and benefit. Now James Lovelock's scientific understanding of the existential reality of Gaia's gift of life again raises the question of our proper place within the universe. It turns us decisively towards an understanding of ourselves as dependent on, rather than in control of, the whole earth community.
Book Synopsis Discourses of Student Success by : Andrea R. Leone-Pizzighella
Download or read book Discourses of Student Success written by Andrea R. Leone-Pizzighella and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a linguistic ethnographic account of secondary schooling in Umbria, Italy, examining the complex intersection of language, socioeconomic class, social persona, and school choice to provide a holistic portrait of the situatedness of student “success.” The book explores the everyday sociolinguistic practices at the three types of Italian secondary schools in Umbria—the lyceum, the technical institute, and the vocational school—and the language ideologies and de facto language policies associated with them. An analysis of narrative, interviews, and classroom discourse unpacks the ways in which students are socialized by both peers and teachers into specific academic discourses and specialized forms of knowledge throughout their school careers. In those close analyses of the micro-interactional contexts of three classrooms, drawing on a corpus of naturally occurring classroom discourse, the volume illuminates the ways in which certain forms of talk are exalted while others policed and how students either submit to or resist the social labels ascribed to them. This account contributes new insights into the ways in which educational institutions are constructed and maintained via talk. This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in educational linguistics, linguistic anthropology, classroom discourse, streamed-tracked education systems, and education policy.

Book Synopsis Lilith: Angel of the Abyss by : Khalil altahhan
Download or read book Lilith: Angel of the Abyss written by Khalil altahhan and published by khalil altahhan. This book was released on with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel intertwines religions, spirituality, and philosophy. Dear reader, regardless of your belief, religion, culture, or even if you are secular, I promise you that you will be astonished by this novel, and your life will change after reading it. I promise that its details will remain etched in your memory for life. I also promise that the name Lilith will be forever engraved in your mind. Dear reader, Welcome to the pages of this novel, which represents a deep personal and intellectual journey for me. It is among the latest and finest work I have ever written. As you delve into the strange and mysterious realms of this story, I would like to share a secret that may seem unfamiliar but is profoundly meaningful to me. This novel was the result of mysterious flows of inspiration; it was not merely a product of my conscious mind, but rather ideas flowed into my mind as if sent from a supernatural world, from a hidden place whose source I do not know. During the writing process, I felt as though I was merely a conduit for visions and concepts that transcended the limits of my knowledge and understanding of the world. This hidden inspiration led me to construct parallel worlds where lost souls meet and nightmares become tangible realities. The worlds you will read about here may be more than mere fiction; they are a reflection of a truth that might exist within the folds of the universe, beyond the scope of our ordinary vision. I invite you to open your heart and mind as you read, to experience this spiritual and intellectual journey with me, and to allow yourself to question the source of creativity and whether there are hidden forces guiding us toward discovering deeper truths about our existence. Perhaps, within these pages, you too may find a glimmer of inspiration that transcends the boundaries of this world. I wish you an enjoyable journey filled with reflection and inquiry. With warm regards, Poet and Novelist: Khalil Altahhan
Download or read book Muse No More written by Donna McDonald and published by Donna McDonald. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muse No More is a paranormal fantasy women’s fiction novel and is a women’s action and adventure tale from USA Today Bestselling Author Donna McDonald. Was it necessary for an entire task of the prophecy to be about me making amends? With four tasks of the Doomsday Prophecy solved and five more to go, I need time some time off to rest and recharge before tackling task five. My goddess power is dwindling daily. Signs of mortal aging are warning me that my goddess days may be nearing their Mortal Realm end. Should I admit failure to the Fates and beg for help from them? That’s never happening. Or at least it’s not happening until I’ve run out of other options. I’m not sure what other goddesses would do in my situation, but I’m taking my dragon champion and heading to Rome for a break. Who knows? Maybe I’m just tired. So what if I can’t make a portal and have to ask a magical friend to do it for me? A visit to my secret treasure vault in Rome will hopefully be worth swallowing that much of my pride. My mortal sins are few. My goddess sins are many. Maybe a walk down memory lane is long overdue. AUTHOR NOTE: This story is paranormal fantasy (think Dark Fairies, Demons, Pegasi, and Dragons) and a women’s action and adventure novel. Some romantic elements are also included. This is the third book in the Nine Heirs and a Spare series which has its roots in Greek mythology. You can count on the good guys (or rather good women) winning some of their battles, but that’s the only promise I can make. As with all my work, there will be some good laughs along the way. Topics: mythology, Greek mythology, goddess, series starter, first in series, fantasy series, paranormal action and adventure, women's fiction, fantasy fiction, paranormal romance, shifter romance, romance ebook, romance series, fantasy romance, paranormal elements, contemporary fantasy, urban fantasy, HEA, strong heroine, alpha hero, romance fiction, romance books, USA Today Bestseller, paranormal romance shifters series

Now he must try to right the wrongs of the past and win back both his beloved consort and the mate he betrayed. Assuming, of course, that the Mad Nereid doesn’t interfere…

These recipes have been handed down by grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and friends. They are easy to follow and encourage the baker, young and older alike, to use the best possible ingredients, making bread once again the healthy "staff of life" it once was. The Waldorf Book of Breads includes tasty breads for the daily table and specialty breads for the seasons and special occasions.

Artist Jo Valens provides delightful illustrations to accompany the many recipes for delicious breads.
Download or read book Gaia's Revenge written by P. H. Liotta and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2007 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighting the connections between climate change and human security, this book offers an examination of the meaning of climate change and global warming while maintaining a perspective on the implications of environmental effects on all forms of security - national, international, and human. Highlighting the connections between climate change and human security, this book elucidates possible outcomes such as a sudden inability to produce enough food, rapidly advancing desertification producing water scarcities where none existed before, and greater demands for energy, resulting in increased air pollution. The destabilising effects of these possibilities create many potential challenges for national security in a globalised world, which we may lead to greater military intervention. This book offers a broad examination of the meaning of climate change and global warming while maintaining a strategic perspective on the implications of environmental effects on all forms of security - national, international, and human (transcending borders and having more to do with basic resources). Given the uncertainty surrounding climate change as a specific event, the authors argue for recognising the profound social, political, and human impact that could take place in the coming years. While recognising the inherent dangers of prediction, the authors effectively present the case that the time to not only recognise - but deal with - potentially profound outcomes is now.
Book Synopsis Early Greek Epic Fragments I by : Christos Tsagalis
Download or read book Early Greek Epic Fragments I written by Christos Tsagalis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new edition and comprehensive commentary of the extant fragments of genealogical and antiquarian epic dating to the archaic period (8th-6th cent. BC). By means of a detailed study of the multifaceted material pertaining to the remains of archaic Greek epic other than Homer, Hesiod, and the Homeric Hymns, it provides readers with a critical reassessment of the ancient evidence, allows access to new material hitherto unnoticed or scattered in various journals after the publication of the three standard editions now available to us, and offers a full-scale commentary of the extant fragments. This book fills a gap in the study of archaic Greek poetry, since it offers a guiding tool for the further exploration of Greek epic tradition in the archaic period and beyond.
Book Synopsis The Breadth of Gaia by : D.R. Taylor
Download or read book The Breadth of Gaia written by D.R. Taylor and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Gaia, the living Earth, fighting back? Our postmodern world holds the Gaia hypothesis, where environmental issues and ecological awareness have been put forth for discussion. Climate change, the greenhouse effect, overpopulation, a global water crisis, nuclear energy, endangered species, and fossil fuels are part of the discourse of an ordinary twenty-first-century citizen. Gaia’s purpose might be in stopping us in our tracks with the virus, depriving us of close social contact, of travel and mass consumption, as a result of the thousands of years humans have exploited the planet without counting the cost. The natural ability of the environment to balance itself and the processes that disrupt the ecological cycles have contributed to the changes in the climate of our planet. The need for more natural resources has forced humans to infringe or destroy natural habitats, thus, exposing us to numerous pathogens. The outbreak of Ebola, MERS, and other coronaviruses have been triggered by the transition from animal to human through the upset of natural habitats. The speed from which the virus has spread has surprised many governments, putting the economies and millions of people in serious danger. The globe is in serious danger. Torcello and Mann wrote an article titled “Seeing the Covid-19 Crisis Is Like Watching a Time Lapse of Climate Change. Will the Right Lessons Be Learned?” The reality is that the slower we respond, the higher the death rate and economic loss.
Book Synopsis Textbook of Catheter-Based Cardiovascular Interventions by : Peter Lanzer
Download or read book Textbook of Catheter-Based Cardiovascular Interventions written by Peter Lanzer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 1887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fully updated and revised second edition of a highly successful text in which a new concept of knowledge mining, based on explication and transfer of interventional knowledge of experts, has been implemented. The dedicated training program that is set out will serve the needs of all interventional operators, whether cardiologists, vascular surgeons, vascular specialists, or radiologists, enabling them to achieve a consistent expert level across the entire broad spectrum of catheter-based interventions. Operator skills – and in particular decision-making and strategic skills – are the most critical factors for the outcome of catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. Currently, such skills are commonly developed by the empirical trial and error method only. The explicit teaching, training, and learning approach adopted in this book permits the rapid transfer of interventional knowledge and enables individual operators to negotiate steep learning curves and acquire complex skills in a highly efficient manner. It will thereby offer invaluable assistance in meeting successfully the challenges of modern cardiovascular care.
