Book Synopsis Nature’S Nature by : Sixto R. Castillo
Download or read book Nature’S Nature written by Sixto R. Castillo and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-08-25 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The temple within is every aspect to all good and committed sin. With a statue for every voice. And the measure to listen carefully and to make the right choice. The sound of the echo is long and everlasting. This would be the best voice to listen to, but all I hear is the other laughing. They all say listen to me, listen to me. But I have to ignore all to make my own decisions to see. In his debut collection, Natures Nature, Sixto Castillo draws readers into his abstract world of rhythmic poetry and prose. This is a unique gathering of words that reflects Castillos thoughts on life and reality, filtered through nothing but his own mind while all other distractions are set aside. Here, there is imagery that appeals to the senses and unexpected ironic twists. Traditional metrical schemes need not apply as Castillo uses a hypnotic, lilting melody that draws readers from one poem to the next. Through his collection, Castillo hopes to inspire people through the written word and share a message of hope, true emotion, and joy.
Book Synopsis Truth Speaks to Power by : Walter Brueggemann
Download or read book Truth Speaks to Power written by Walter Brueggemann and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned biblical interpreter Walter Brueggemann invites readers to take a closer look at the subversive messages found within the Old Testament. Brueggemann asserts that the Bible presents a "sustained contestation" over truth, in which established institutions of power do not always prevail. But this is not always obvious at first glance. A closer look reveals that the text actually contradicts the apparent meaning of an innocent, face-value reading. Brueggemann invites the reader into this thick complexity of the textual reading, where the authority of power is undermined in cunning and compelling ways. He insists that we are--as readers and interpreters--always contestants for truth, whether we recognize ourselves as such or not.

Book Synopsis Thinking Like a Mall by : Steven Vogel
Download or read book Thinking Like a Mall written by Steven Vogel and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative argument that environmental thinking would be better off if it dropped the concept of “nature” altogether and spoke instead of the built environment. Environmentalism, in theory and practice, is concerned with protecting nature. But if we have now reached “the end of nature,” as Bill McKibben and other environmental thinkers have declared, what is there left to protect? In Thinking like a Mall, Steven Vogel argues that environmental thinking would be better off if it dropped the concept of “nature” altogether and spoke instead of the “environment”—that is, the world that actually surrounds us, which is always a built world, the only one that we inhabit. We need to think not so much like a mountain (as Aldo Leopold urged) as like a mall. Shopping malls, too, are part of the environment and deserve as much serious consideration from environmental thinkers as do mountains. Vogel argues provocatively that environmental philosophy, in its ethics, should no longer draw a distinction between the natural and the artificial and, in its politics, should abandon the idea that something beyond human practices (such as “nature”) can serve as a standard determining what those practices ought to be. The appeal to nature distinct from the built environment, he contends, may be not merely unhelpful to environmental thinking but in itself harmful to that thinking. The question for environmental philosophy is not “how can we save nature?” but rather “what environment should we inhabit, and what practices should we engage in to help build it?”
Download or read book How to Speak Whale written by Tom Mustill and published by . This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if animals and humans could speak to one another? Tom Mustill--the nature documentarian who went viral when a thirty‑ton humpback whale breached onto his kayak--asks this question in his thrilling investigation into whale science and animal communication. "When a whale is in the water, it is like an iceberg: you only see a fraction of it and have no conception of its size." On September 12, 2015, Tom Mustill was paddling in a two-person kayak with a friend just off the coast of California. It was cold, but idyllic--until a humpback whale breached, landing on top of them, releasing the energy equivalent of forty hand grenades. He was certain he was about to die, but they both survived, miraculously unscathed. In the interviews that followed the incident, Mustill was left with one question: What could this astonishing encounter teach us? Drawing from his experience as a naturalist and wildlife filmmaker, Mustill started investigating human-whale interactions around the world when he met two tech entrepreneurs who wanted to use artificial intelligence (AI)--originally designed to translate human languages--to discover patterns in the conversations of animals and decode them. As he embarked on a journey into animal eavesdropping technologies, where big data meets big beasts, Mustill discovered that there is a revolution taking place in biology, as the technologies developed to explore our own languages are turned to nature. From seventeenth-century Dutch inventors, to the whaling industry of the nineteenth century, to the cutting edge of Silicon Valley, How to Speak Whale examines how scientists and start-ups around the world are decoding animal communications. Whales, with their giant mammalian brains, virtuoso voices, and long, highly social lives, offer one of the most realistic opportunities for this to happen. But what would the consequences of such human animal interaction be? We're about to find out. Includes a Reading Group Guide.
Download or read book Nature Speaks written by Deborah Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Poetry and art to heal ourselves and the Earth In Nature Speaks, artist and poet Deborah Kennedy unveils nature in its beauty and depth but also in its suffering at the hands of humans. The art and architecture of this book moves from praising the fundamental web of life in Part One to mourning a damaged and "sinking world" in Part Two to decrying the poisons surrounding and within our bodies in Part Three to encouraging vital new thought and action in Part Four. The journey we take through this extraordinary book is challenging but ultimately rewarding and revitalizing, as all life-changing journeys are. We see horrors- "Breast milk is now/ tainted, hidden poisons/ in a mother's gift." And yet we also see images of hope-"Hummingbirds defend beads of nectar crowning my Mexican sage." Kennedy serves as a passionate, perceptive guide on a journey across time, a journey encompassing floodwaters in Brazil, Colombia, Pakistan, Thailand, Romania; edges of machetes that catch sunlight in the Congo; a jet droning on its way to Australia; and the forests, trails, and gardens close to our homes. Kennedy strikes between reason and mystery: we hear in her book a deep respect for the findings and warnings of science and a reverence for metaphor and symbol. The alluring pen and ink images that she couples with each poem vary in concept and style from realistic to surreal, beautifully embodying the balance between the known and the unknown, the proven and the possible. A very different artist/poet in an earlier, less perilous age, William Blake, shared a similar genius on the page. Kennedy's poems have been likened to those of Gary Snyder, Kenneth Rexroth, and Robinson Jeffers-all Californians attuned to the gifts and scars of the earth. There are echoes, too, of Adrienne Rich in Kennedy's poems, particularly "Chalice" and "DNA Rules" and "Fate of my Son" that explore the complex weave of mothering, living, feeling, and thinking in a rapidly changing world. Both Rich and Kennedy give precise words to that which seems just past our reach. Both creative women inspire us as individuals and communities to fuller contemplation and bolder action in addressing local and global environmental problems"--
