Download or read book Aldo Leopold s Odyssey Tenth Anniversary Edition written by Julianne Lutz Warren and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, Julianne Lutz Warren (née Newton) asked readers to rediscover one of history’s most renowned conservationists. Aldo Leopold’s Odyssey was hailed by The New York Times as a “biography of ideas,” making “us feel the loss of what might have followed A Sand County Almanac by showing us in authoritative detail what led up to it.” Warren’s astute narrative quickly became an essential part of the Leopold canon, introducing new readers to the father of wildlife ecology and offering a fresh perspective to even the most seasoned scholars. A decade later, as our very concept of wilderness is changing, Warren frames Leopold’s work in the context of the Anthropocene. With a new preface and foreword by Bill McKibben, the book underscores the ever-growing importance of Leopold’s ideas in an increasingly human-dominated landscape. Drawing on unpublished archives, Warren traces Leopold’s quest to define and preserve land health. Leopold's journey took him from Iowa to Yale to the Southwest to Wisconsin, with fascinating stops along the way to probe the causes of early land settlement failures, contribute to the emerging science of ecology, and craft a new vision for land use. Leopold’s life was dedicated to one fundamental dilemma: how can people live prosperously on the land and keep it healthy, too? For anyone compelled by this question, the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Aldo Leopold’s Odyssey offers insight and inspiration.

Download or read book The United Church of Canada written by Don Schweitzer and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its inception in the early 1900s, The United Church of Canada set out to become the national church of Canada. This book recounts and analyzes the history of the church of Canada’s largest Protestant denomination and its engagement with issues of social and private morality, evangelistic campaigns, and its response to the restructuring of religion in the 1960s. A chronological history is followed by chapters on the United Church’s worship, theology, understanding of ministry, relationships with the Canadian Jewish community, Israel, and Palestinians, changing mission goals in relation to First Nations peoples, and changing social imaginary. The result is an original, accessible, and engaging account of The United Church of Canada’s pilgrimage that will be useful for students, historians, and general readers. From this account there emerges a complex portrait of the United Church as a distinctly Canadian Protestant church shaped by both its Christian faith and its engagement with the changing society of which it is a part.

Download or read book Warsaw Housing Cooperative written by Magdalena Matysek-Imielińska and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the unknown and remote urban experiment of modernist social practices and dreams of a better tomorrow. It describes the history of the Warsaw Housing Cooperative not as a historical relic or a single case study, but instead analyses this working-class social housing estate – in itself an extremely interesting emancipatory project – from the perspective of contemporary urban studies. It focuses on issues related to the power of architecture, architects and the estate residents themselves: the city's performative actions, problems related to the polycentric character of the city authorities, the opportunities of building urban institutions, and social identities and urban common goods. Inspired by the history of the Warsaw Housing Cooperative, the book investigates how the estate residents, assisted by social reformers (today called urban activists), organised the urban space of performative democracy, and how they developed anti-capitalist, urban-survival strategies and created new lifestyles. It also analyses how passive tenants turned into active citizens claiming their right to the city. The inspiring book is intended for researchers in the field of performative studies, urban sociologists, critical urban studies researchers, animators of social life and urban activists.

Download or read book Immigrants to the Pure Land written by Michihiro Ama and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2011-01-31 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious acculturation is typically seen as a one-way process: The dominant religious culture imposes certain behavioral patterns, ethical standards, social values, and organizational and legal requirements onto the immigrant religious tradition. In this view, American society is the active partner in the relationship, while the newly introduced tradition is the passive recipient being changed. Michihiro Ama’s investigation of the early period of Jodo Shinshu in Hawai‘i and the United States sets a new standard for investigating the processes of religious acculturation and a radically new way of thinking about these processes. Most studies of American religious history are conceptually grounded in a European perspectival position, regarding the U.S. as a continuation of trends and historical events that begin in Europe. Only recently have scholars begun to shift their perspectival locus to Asia. Ama’s use of materials spans the Pacific as he draws on never-before-studied archival works in Japan as well as the U.S. More important, Ama locates immigrant Jodo Shinshu at the interface of two expansionist nations. At the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, both Japan and the U.S. were extending their realms of influence into the Pacific, where they came into contact—and eventually conflict—with one another. Jodo Shinshu in Hawai‘i and California was altered in relation to a changing Japan just as it was responding to changes in the U.S. Because Jodo Shinshu’s institutional history in the U.S. and the Pacific occurs at a contested interface, Ama defines its acculturation as a dual process of both "Japanization" and "Americanization." Immigrants to the Pure Land explores in detail the activities of individual Shin Buddhist ministers responsible for making specific decisions regarding the practice of Jodo Shinshu in local sanghas. By focusing so closely, Ama reveals the contestation of immigrant communities faced with discrimination and exploitation in their new homes and with changing messages from Japan. The strategies employed, whether accommodation to the dominant religious culture or assertion of identity, uncover the history of an American church in the making.

Download or read book Canadian Readings of Jewish History written by Daniel Maoz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-11 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the reader through a genealogical embodied journey, explaining how our historical context, through various expressions of language, culture, knowledge, pedagogy, and power, has created and perpetuated oppression of marginalised identities throughout history. The volume is, in essence, a social justice initiative in that it shines a spotlight on elitist forms of knowledge, and their attached privileged protectors. As such, the reader will unavoidably reflect on their own pre-conceived meanings and culturally inherent notions while engaging with these pages, and in so doing open a third space where new forms of knowledge that may transcend time and space can evolve into endless possibilities. It is these possibilities of expanding the nuanced meanings of evolving knowledge, fluid lifestyles, and of a dynamic connection to humanity and God, which make this book contextually relevant in our post-modern landscape. It un-situates philosophies which have traditionally been unknowingly situated, and, in so doing, propels the reader to re-interpret discourse and recreate taken-for-granted “universal truths.”

Book excerpt: "The publication of translated essays by Dr. Abraham Coralnik is an important step in enlarging our understanding of the cultural milieu of the early twentieth century in which Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe become Americanized."--Professor Eli Katz, University of California, Berkeley In 1937, when the essayist Abraham Coralnik died of a heart attack, Yiddish speakers in the United States lost one of their most articulate guides. As a columnist for the New York newspaper Der Tog (The Day) during the 1920s and 1930s, Coralnik moved effortlessly from discussions of Zionist politics to analyses of Marx and Plato to travelogues through the American heartland. As Europe exploded in anti-Semitism, and American Jewish life continued its spectacular transformation into the land of promise and confusion, Coralnik provided both insight and context for an immigrant community desperate to understand the changes taking place around it. Today, Coralnik's essays can be enjoyed not just for their perspective on two crucial decades of Jewish history, but for their timeless wisdom about culture, spirituality, philosophy and history. In Volume Two of Across the Great Divide, Coralnik illuminates the strange, sad life of the Yiddish language; the inner conflicts of writers from Montaigne to Thomas Mann; the way secular revolutionaries like Karl Marx channeled prophetic ideals; and the moral ideas animating American presidents like Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson. About the Translator: Beatrice Coralnik Papo, the eldest daughter of Abraham Coralnik, was born in Berlin in 1913. Educated in Germany, Russia and France, she came to the U.S. in her early 20s. A social worker by profession, Mrs. Papo is a lifelong student of literature, and has spent the last two decades translating her father's essays. She lives in San Jose, California.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KONSTANTA SUMURUPING GENI NUSANTARA The literal meaning of the word "constant" is "constancy", constant or unchanging In mathematics, "constant" or "constant" is a constant value. Constants are used in various scientific disciplines as opposed to arbitrary "variables". The definition of "variable" includes meaning changeable, not fixed, the declaration of something that has a variety of values ​​in the programming language is also called a symbol that represents a certain value, variables known in sub-programs are called local variables, while those that are known in general / intact in one program are called " Global Variables " "History" or real events in the past is "Certain" not "Variable", only the records are affected by the interests of the "Subjective" in power which makes this uncertain and even "Ambiguous", this must be straightened out. Constant is a type of variable whose value cannot be changed. Value initialization is only done once at the beginning, after which it cannot be changed. Some constants are named according to the name of the discoverer. Examples of constants: ● c (speed of light) = 299,792,458 meters per second ● h (Planck's constant) = 6.626 x 10-34 Joule seconds ● G (constant gravity) = 6.6742 x 10-11 m3 s-2 kg-1 ● Hubble constant = 70 (km / s) / Mpc ● π (pi), the constant of the ratio of the circle to the diameter, the value is close to 3.141592653589793238462643 ... E, the value is close to 2.718281828459045235360287 ... ● φ (golden ratio), the value is close to 1.618033988749894848204586 So "Constant" is "Constant" whose value cannot be changed. Value initialization is only done once at the beginning, after which the value cannot be changed, the number of years in recording real events in history is correct in that year not "Variable" If the determination of the number of years in historical recording is "ambiguous" or can be refuted "truth" then it needs to be corrected and revised ... this is what happened to our country's history recording ... The discoveries at the end of the 20th century showed that the "Cosmological Constant" was needed to explain the existence of "Dark energy" The cosmological constant is the density of space energy or vacuum energy that appears in the field equation in General Relativity. This constant was introduced by Einstein in his theory of "General Relativity" so that the universe remains static Einstein then discarded or abandoned the cosmological constant when observations showed that the universe is expanding or moving to expand "This is the biggest mistake in my life" Einstein, who once modified the nature of the general theory of relativity, felt that he had 'corrupted' his own theory.He regretted so much that the addition of the cosmological constant was the biggest mistake of his life. Naturally, as an ordinary human, Eintein is not free from mistakes, here we learn that mistakes are a very human nature, they can happen to anyone, including scientists of Einstein's caliber. Likewise in the calculation of the year in the recording of historical years in the archipelago, "Konstanta" or the determination of the calculation of the historical year on the inscription with the number of "Saka" which has been calculated as "Must" started in 78 AD, is obsolete, must be discarded or not. used again, because it is proven that there are many historical facts that occurred before that year in the archipelago "Mistakes" or in polite language is "Mistakes" can happen to anyone, including scientists of Einstein's caliber, as well as chroniclers in this country ... that the year 78 AD is the year of the "Saka" nation of the ancestors of the Archipelago nation. that year conquered Raja Salivahana in south India It is not the beginning of the Saka year to calculate the number of years in the "Inscription" of this early calculation of the Saka year, causing our history to be lost before the year 78 AD, in fact there is already an advanced civilization in this country, ... and if this is considered "to the Khilafan". .. so when do we want to be considered a "Primitive" nation ...? That means ... If we have found the numbers "Constants" or "Decisions" in the early years of the calculation of the Saka year in the inscriptions, we will find a lot of real facts that the "History of the Archipelago" is more advanced than what is written today ... The "Sumuruping Geni Constant" is the determination of the return of the bright light from the fire that once lit the world, and the source of that fire has ever occurred and originated in this land. "History" naturally rotates towards the point where it was once passed, and that triumph has occurred and will be repeated again with valid provisions or constants ... so now the time has come for the "Sumuruping Geni Constant" to occur again in this archipelago. ... The generation of this nation will understand who their true ancestors were .... that their ancestors were not "Primitive", did not embrace Animism. Dynamics were also the philosophy of their teachings that colored 3/4 of the earth, which underlies the birth and growth of 3 teachings on Indian soil ... ..
