Download or read book Garwin s Tale written by John H. Saylor and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garwin is a man confronted by one trying situation after another. As one of his world's top scientists, he grapples with his planet's impending destruction. That terrible burden is made even more difficult by his need to explain the problem to top policy makers and by the failing health of his wife, Slayva. Garwin deals with this long list challenges as a man of great character might be expected to, but he does not emerge unscathed. The challenges only seem to subside when Garwin ventures to Earth. There, he and a friend named Denck--along with a small team of researchers--determine that our world might be a good fit for some small portion of their planet's refugees. To that end, the team must consider a great deal about Earth's people, their political and economic systems, and the history of their thought. In the end, however, the people of Earth prove to be the biggest challenge of all. Many of the challenges encountered along the way arise from the relationship between science and politics. Garwin and Denck--who happens to be a professor of the history and philosophy of science--encounter problems relating to such relationships on both worlds, though it's made clear that their civilization sees the issues with much greater clarity than the people of Earth do. Indeed, Garwin, Denck, and their comrades struggle to understand the people of Earth and the lagging nature of their social and political systems. These systems just aren't what they should be given Earth's scientific development. In time, the people of Earth prove incapable of managing the influence that political forces have on research in the natural sciences. Science--or at least specific research projects--is arbitrated less in the peer-reviewed journal or the lab than in the public square. The purpose is clear: controlling perceptions of scientific thought is part of a broader program that's designed to control thought more generally. Science has been appropriated to serve the collective rather than some truth that transcends mere politics. Garwin and his friends are heartbroken to discover that Earth will not be suitable for their project. Many of them had hoped to make a home here and believed that with assistance from their kind, the people of Earth might be shown the right path; but another culture--one greatly more advanced that Garwin's--intervenes and makes that impossible. As fate would have it, even this latest challenge was beyond Garwin's control.

Download or read book Life After Doom written by Brian D. McLaren and published by St. Martin's Essentials. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As rich and thoughtful as all of Brian McLaren's work, but with a particular urgency!" —Bill McKibben "Riveting. Challenging. Brave. Devastating. Hopeful." —Rabbi Sharon Brous, IKAR, author of The Amen Effect A deeply insightful exploration of how to live with wisdom, resilience and love in our turbulent times For the last quarter-century, author and activist Brian D. McLaren has been writing at the intersection of religious faith and contemporary culture. In Life After Doom, he engages with the catastrophic failure of both our religious and political leaders to address the dominant realities of our time: ecological overshoot, economic injustice, and the increasing likelihood of civilizational collapse. McLaren defines doom as the “un-peaceful, uneasy, unwanted feeling” that “we humans have made a mess of our civilization and our planet, and not enough of us seem to care enough to change deeply enough or quickly enough to save ourselves.” Blending insights from philosophers, poets, scientists, and theologians, Life After Doom explores the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and the need for new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging in turbulent times. If you want to help yourself, your family, and the communities to which you belong to find courage and resilience for the deeply challenging times that are upon us — this is the book you need right now.

A People’s Curriculum for the Earth is an educator’s toolkit for our times." — Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate "This volume is a marvelous example of justice in ALL facets of our lives—civil, social, educational, economic, and yes, environmental. Bravo to the Rethinking Schools team for pulling this collection together and making us think more holistically about what we mean when we talk about justice." — Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Chair in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Bigelow and Swinehart have created a critical resource for today’s young people about humanity’s responsibility for the Earth. This book can engender the shift in perspective so needed at this point on the clock of the universe." — Gregory Smith, Professor of Education, Lewis & Clark College, co-author with David Sobel of Place- and Community-based Education in Schools
