Download or read book Our Shadowed World written by Dominic Kirkham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civilization is often equated with the story of human advancement and progress. Yet it is also the story of human oppression, exploitation, war, and empire. In our own time, modern global civilization has brought us to the brink of planetary destruction. By offering an understanding of our past, this book aims to provide a stimulus to considering a different future. Our Shadowed World considers how we have been brought to this point. It describes how the fragmented and conflicted state of humanity has "progressed" from the earliest city-states to the devastation of world war and holocaust--how civilization has brought its own form of savagery. What beliefs have underlain and motivated human action? How have humans tried to understand their world? Driven by the relentless quest for power, by greed, and by extreme beliefs, the human enterprise today has placed the very idea of civilization under threat, the subject of radical questioning. Despite a new ecological awareness dedicated to saving the planet from civilization's carelessness, and a preoccupation with the nature of apocalyptic thinking, a question mark looms over the very survival of humanity in its present state--a question mark that now overshadows the world.

Book excerpt: "For most of my life growing up in Northern Ireland we didn't know the half of it--or we only knew the half of it: that was the problem. A book such as this--because of its scrupulousness, allied to a sense that the contributors seemed to have time, and an understanding that they had time to say their pieces--gives us a real feel for people caught up in a certain period; a period in all our lives. And not only one sort of people. We get a sense, for example, of 'the terrible visitation of violent death,' in the words of one contributor, in a time when 'fear followed you'...The detail is exhaustive (and, very occasionally, exhausting). The five contributors all had their eyes open back in the day--and they have their eyes, and more than their eyes, open now. They are expert witnesses. As one of the puts it, 'I knew what was happening around me would not always be happening...and realised that what was happening around me was history.' But why does it matter? Why does it matter that they have given so much in their testimonies? Why does it matter if they are expert or duff witnesses to the time of the Troubles? Because I think that if we, as Northern Irish people, get to thinking that that was another time, in another world, with no connection to our own, we'll be in trouble. We will repeat ourselves, as we have tended to do throughout our history." -- Damian Gorman, taken from front matter.

Completely adore Libby and Shadow (her companion black Lab pup--so adorable!). Without giving any spoilers at all, I couldn't put the book down once amateur sleuth, Libby Madsen, was on the search for a lost girl in the mountains. The suspense amid so many suspects, I never did figure out how it would all turn out. Overall, it's a clean read--appropriate for all ages.” – lovereadingmysteries, 5 star online review “This cozy mystery series has become one of my favorites! Libby Madsen, along with Shadow her dog...Alexis, her best friend/business partner, and her family ... and the gorgeous forest ranger, Greg! I love the friend group! And Jennifer doesn’t disappoint in her second book of the series....I find myself turning pages just wanting to know what happens next. Hope the next title comes soon...” – 5 stars on Barnes & Noble “After meeting Libby and Shadow, Greg, Alexis and JJ, and the other great characters in this series, I couldn't wait to get right into this second book. Excellent action, just as in the first one---a great overall whodunit!” – avidmysteryfan, 5 stars online review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote my first poem when I was in second grade. Okay, maybe it was my second term in second grade, but it amazed my teacher and my principal so much that they asked me to read it to every class in Woodside Elementary School. I was proud. I was embarrassed. I was too scared to do it, so I didnt. It went something like this: Poor me, I got bit by a bee. I told my mommy and daddy, About that bad bee that bit me. It was a very long time ago, and that is about all that I remember of it. Our memories fade with age. Maybe that is a good thing.
