Download or read book The Code of Human (Civilisation) written by Mary Olympia Themis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behold what manner of race the fathers of the Golden Age left behind them! Far meaner than themselves! But you will breed a viler progeny! Verily wars and cruel bloodshed shall be unto men and grievous woe shall be laid upon them- Aratus, Phaenomena 123 Aratus was Greek poet that in his poem Appearances have presented the predictions delivered by Astraea, daughter of Zeus and Themis, devoted to human justice on Earth. Themis was known as goddess of divine law. The law of absolute principles of logic of endurance of humanity always would connect to rules of correctness. Accordingly, she would be real predecessor to the institution of Supreme Court. Yet, it seems exactly there we have to confront the other side, into claiming and declaring what Supreme is and can possibly be on Earth. What I found almost necessary is to point out that if anyone is to claim any legacy on anything it has to be clear what kind of legacy can be only acceptable to be claimed first of all. I am to insist on the conception of licencing of the civilizational stamp of Earth as declared with in main civilizational declarations of present times of protectionism of civil rights, while we still recognize the meaning of having a soul so no anyone can claim it and interpret it as one wants, especially in the future. I have on mind some kind of sealing of the cultural identities of the nations in terms of qualitative differences that each nation is making, promoting further straightening of civilizational values as a consequence. Origin with in such perspective does and will matter. Yet, I am trying to establish humanity with in its abstract dimension, through the set of clear rules of civilizational conduct, justice and exactness that than only we can call civilisation, as it will be something on what our future generations can rely.

Book Synopsis Energy and Civilization by : Vaclav Smil
Download or read book Energy and Civilization written by Vaclav Smil and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society throughout history, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. "I wait for new Smil books the way some people wait for the next 'Star Wars' movie. In his latest book, Energy and Civilization: A History, he goes deep and broad to explain how innovations in humans' ability to turn energy into heat, light, and motion have been a driving force behind our cultural and economic progress over the past 10,000 years. —Bill Gates, Gates Notes, Best Books of the Year Energy is the only universal currency; it is necessary for getting anything done. The conversion of energy on Earth ranges from terra-forming forces of plate tectonics to cumulative erosive effects of raindrops. Life on Earth depends on the photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into plant biomass. Humans have come to rely on many more energy flows—ranging from fossil fuels to photovoltaic generation of electricity—for their civilized existence. In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization. Humans are the only species that can systematically harness energies outside their bodies, using the power of their intellect and an enormous variety of artifacts—from the simplest tools to internal combustion engines and nuclear reactors. The epochal transition to fossil fuels affected everything: agriculture, industry, transportation, weapons, communication, economics, urbanization, quality of life, politics, and the environment. Smil describes humanity's energy eras in panoramic and interdisciplinary fashion, offering readers a magisterial overview. This book is an extensively updated and expanded version of Smil's Energy in World History (1994). Smil has incorporated an enormous amount of new material, reflecting the dramatic developments in energy studies over the last two decades and his own research over that time.

Book Synopsis Decline and Fall on Savage Street by : Fiona Farrell
Download or read book Decline and Fall on Savage Street written by Fiona Farrell and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating prize-winning novel about a house with a fanciful little turret, built by a river. Unfolding within its rooms are lives of event and emotional upheaval. A lot happens. And the tumultuous events of the twentieth century also leave their mark, from war to economic collapse, the deaths of presidents and princesses to new waves of music, art, architecture and political ideas. Meanwhile, a few metres away in the river, another creature follows a different, slower rhythm. And beneath them all, the planet moves to its own immense geological time. With insight, wide-ranging knowledge and humour, this novel explores the same territory as its non-fiction twin, The Villa at the Edge of the Empire. Writing in a city devastated by major earthquakes, Fiona Farrell rebuilds a brilliant, compelling and imaginative structure from bits and pieces salvaged from one hundred years of history. A lot has happened. This is how it might have felt. 'It's a work of incredible research and incredible scope and incredible feeling . . . it's really wonderful. It think we will look back at these two books [Decline and Fall on Savage Street and The Villa at the Edge of Empire] and think of them as being very important in our local literary history as marking time and place and moment and feeling; it's a wonderful piece of art.' - Louise O'Brien, Radio NZ 'It's so vast, it shouldn't work; but it does. Primarily this is because, rather than anchoring her text to dry, historical minutiae, Farrell chooses to ground it to people, particularly family. So, as well as the impressive detail made especially graceful thanks to the author's poetic skill, the narrative follows one house settled upon the titular street and its inhabitants, particularly one family, extended and diverse. As such, chapter by chapter are, like a relay team, an exercise in passing the chronological story along. . . . Wide-ranging yet intimate, poetic yet simple, of the singular home yet speaking to the complexities of city and nation, Decline and Fall on Savage Street is a remarkable read.' - Siobhan Harvey, Waikato Times

Book Synopsis Unravelling Civilisation by : Hagen Schulz-Forberg
Download or read book Unravelling Civilisation written by Hagen Schulz-Forberg and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of contributions about the history and practice of travel and travel writing from a variety of academic disciplines including anthropology, history, linguistics and literary criticism. It brings together scholars from over ten different countries and reflects on what travel is and how travel writings function. It traces the history of travel and travel writing and the notion or idea of a European civilisation that permeates performances and perceptions. The notion of Europe appears as a set of quality standards as well as guidelines for experiences against which civilisations are measured. This set of standards and guidelines, however, is far from stable. It is a floating foundation carrying different versions of Europe throughout time. The authors tackle the problem from different angles: travels from Europe across the seven oceans transported the idea of European civilisation just as travels to Europe or within Europe. The volume explores the different meanings attached to the term 'Europe' and 'civilisation' throughout history and shows how different political or cultural contexts affect the notion of what Europe is or should be.
