Download or read book Beyond Sustainability written by Tim Delaney and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches environmentalism via two academic disciplines, sociology and philosophy. Both have concerns about the environment's ability not only to sustain itself but to thrive. The authors argue that rather than simple sustainability, we must promote thrivability for the sake of protecting the environment and all living things. In this greatly expanded second edition, the authors have updated data and examples, introduced new topics and concepts, and emphasized the need to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels. Numerous topics are explored, from the differences between sustainability and thrivability, and the overuse of plastic, to mass extinction, the role of natural disasters and more. The Covid-19 pandemic offers an added perspective on the relationship between disease and the environment.

Download or read book My Word Shall Guide Thee written by Daniel A.R. Wright and published by Author House. This book was released on 2007-06-04 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Word Shall Guide Thee contains the radical, revolutionary thought of Daniel Wright which was received by voice, vision and dream. "Eat the book", "Temple Worship", "Kingdomism" and other new writings provide a pure form of worship and a "polit-theo" lifestyle where all of humanity can live in peace and harmony. Beginning in the early 1950's, Daniel committed these revelatory ideas to paper. The original articles were typed, mimeographed, xeroxed, sent around the country and passed by word of mouth. In l966, Daniel founded Padanaram Settlement in southern Indiana. It is a utopian, idealistic society dedicated to equal education, philosophical analysis, social idealism, economic independence, and religious non-denominationalism. Its thriving businesses, stewardship of the land, and its youth assure its continuity today. In the preface of "Utopian Concepts for Social Revolution", Daniel writes: "These are some of my memoirs of my experiences, actualencounters with the Heavenly Host. It is to me a unique reservoir of awakening thoughts basic to the continuity of the human family. It explains the 'why' behind the visible, contains an expose' on false religions, the reason of political abortions, proposes concepts for sound economic security, and guides the 'seeker for truth' past many pitfalls. It is progressive in content of insight and thought."

Download or read book Earthshaker written by John Benjamin and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What in the world is going on? Almost overnight our modern world has entered into a period of great change, very suddenly and unexpectedly, with the largest and most violent storms, earthquakes, solar flares, flooding, droughts, severe weather anomalies, and earth changes than the greater majority of us have ever experienced in our lifetimes. The largest drought ever recorded in America's history struck so quickly in 2012 that it was called a "flash drought," encompassing over half of the entire nation. The full extent of the damage that this has caused through crop loss has yet to be realized on the world's markets, but there will most certainly be food shortages soon, and prices are already beginning to skyrocket worldwide! Water shortages and actual "water wars" are also beginning to occur. The rest of the entire world is also experiencing these same disastrous events. Gigantic earthquakes are happening worldwide causing untold destruction! So many people have lost their lives or have been displaced by these unexpected tragedies that there is simply no way to account for them all. India had a power outage so great that seven hundred million people were without electricity for weeks, and people worldwide fear that something of this same magnitude may also strike their area in the very near future. What in the world is going on here? This book provides the answer to this question and gives sound advice on what you can do to prepare yourself as well as your family and friends to survive the even more severe "earth events" that may be set to occur shortly in our modern, rapidly changing world. It is my earnest hope that this book will be a great help and source of strength for you in the uncertain times that lie directly ahead. John Benjamin

Download or read book World Myth or History written by J.G. Cheock and published by J.G. Cheock. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World myth deciphered and organized into a coherent story of our past. It is almost impossible to read world mythology without noticing common threads and patterns that seem to paint a bigger picture. A story told by our ancient ancestors for future generations to remember and learn. What if the eyewitnesses to past events were taken seriously? What if we listen to their stories with unbiased ears, free of assumptions? What if their stories were backed up by scientific discoveries? What if the myths can explain the mysteries?

Download or read book Evolution That Anyone Can Understand written by Bernard Marcus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-06 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The function of scientific research is promoting the understanding of the world around us. In theory, anyway, the more we learn, the more potential we have of making our lives better. Thus, we have seen research in electronics provide us with computers, research in chemistry provide us with all manner of synthetics, and research in agriculture provide us with more food. Periodically, scientific research uncovers something that makes some of us uncomfortable. The discovery of the link between smoking and lung cancer and heart disease was not received well by the tobacco industry, and the link between global climate change and fossil fuel use has not been well received by the petroleum industry, to cite just two examples. Usually the response of those whose world has been disrupted by science is denial, often followed by attack on or ridicule of the science that has challenged them. In the long term, however, science usually turns out to be correct.

Download or read book Prima Facie written by Richard Thomas and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with more than eighty compelling and often humorous essays, Prima Facie explores a wide array of subjects-human nature, free will, war, evolution, religion, political correctness, death and taxes. Author Richard Thomas reflects on these subjects and his own life to determine why people act the way they do. Thomas proposes three laws to explain human behavior: Reciprocity. This law states that everyone should have an equivalent exchange of goods for services rendered. We all want fair treatment from our associates. The Leg Up. This law claims that a person will climb over someone else to improve his situation or enforce his supposed superior status. LCD. This law maintains that humans tend to drag each other down to the lowest common denominator (LCD). One person cannot be better than someone else. Thomas argues that the various systems we have created to control our interactions with one another have turned the human race from once fearful, huddling prey into predators who now stalk their own kind. Prima Facie asks us to examine our own lives and beliefs, requires us to recognize the negative impact our everyday behavior has on others, and encourages us to take back responsibility for our destiny.

Download or read book From Earth Spirits to Sky Gods written by Bruce Lerro and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thought-provoking new book, Bruce Lerro offers a speculative reconstruction of the sacred beliefs and practices of cultures existing between 30,000 and 500 B.C.E. Lerro describes how material changes in various social formations--including hunting-gathering bands and horticulturalists in villages--were responsible for the shift from magic to realism, from the belief in earth spirits to faith in sky gods. Drawing from such diverse theorists as Marx and Engels, Vygotsky, Piaget, and George Herbert Mead, Lerro critiques and transforms mechanical, humanistic, new age, and countercultural perspectives on the history of sacred traditions. This study of comparative religion and mythology has important applications for the fields of archaeology, evolutionary anthropology, sociology, political science, and comparative psychology.
