Book excerpt: Examining how three medieval Sufi Qur’an commentators explained the story of Moses’ journey with al-Khidr, this volume conveys various teachings about the path of Sufism and the nature of spiritual authority. These commentaries, translated for the first time, discuss essential themes of Sufism as written by practicing Sufi masters. As the text reflects on both the social and psychological dimensions of the master–disciple relationship in Sufism and distinguish between the instructing master (shaykh al-ta’lim) and the mentoring master (shaykh al-suhba), a comparison is also made between the Sufi interpretation of death, immortality, compassion, and inner knowledge and Ernest Becker’s theory of the denial of death and the aspiration for both physical and symbolic immortality.

Download or read book Ocean Acidification written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ocean has absorbed a significant portion of all human-made carbon dioxide emissions. This benefits human society by moderating the rate of climate change, but also causes unprecedented changes to ocean chemistry. Carbon dioxide taken up by the ocean decreases the pH of the water and leads to a suite of chemical changes collectively known as ocean acidification. The long term consequences of ocean acidification are not known, but are expected to result in changes to many ecosystems and the services they provide to society. Ocean Acidification: A National Strategy to Meet the Challenges of a Changing Ocean reviews the current state of knowledge, explores gaps in understanding, and identifies several key findings. Like climate change, ocean acidification is a growing global problem that will intensify with continued CO2 emissions and has the potential to change marine ecosystems and affect benefits to society. The federal government has taken positive initial steps by developing a national ocean acidification program, but more information is needed to fully understand and address the threat that ocean acidification may pose to marine ecosystems and the services they provide. In addition, a global observation network of chemical and biological sensors is needed to monitor changes in ocean conditions attributable to acidification.

Download or read book Rowing the Atlantic written by Roz Savage and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STUCK IN A corporate job rut and faced with an unraveling marriage at the age of thirty-six, Roz Savage sat down one night and wrote two versions of her own obituary -- the one that she wanted and the one she was heading for. They were very different. She realized that if she carried on as she was, she wasn't going to end up with the life she wanted. So she turned her back on an eleven-year career as a management consultant to reinvent herself as a woman of adventure. She invested her life's savings in an ocean rowboat and became the first solo woman ever to enter the Atlantic Rowing Race. Her 3,000-mile trial by sea became the challenge of a lifetime. Of the twenty-six crews that set out from La Gomera, six capsized or sank and didn't make it to the finish line in Antigua. There were times when she thought she had hit her absolute limit, but alone in the middle of the ocean, she had no choice but to find the strength to carry on. In Rowing the Atlantic we are brought on board when Savage's dreams of feasts are nourished by yet another freeze-dried meal. When her gloves wear through to her blistered hands. When her headlamp is the only light on a pitch-black night ocean that extends indefinitely in all directions. When, one by one, all four of her oars break. When her satellite communication fails. Stroke by stroke, Savage discovers there is so much more to life than a fancy sports car and a power-suit job. Flashing back to key moments from her life before rowing, she describes the bolt from the blue that first inspired her to row across oceans and how this crazy idea evolved from a dream into a tendinitis-inducing reality. And finally, Savage discovers in the rough waters of the Atlantic the kind of happiness we all hope to find.

Download or read book Expedition Deep Ocean written by Josh Young and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The riveting story of the exploration of the final frontier of our planet—the deep ocean—and history-making mission to reach the bottom of all five seas. Humankind has explored every continent on earth, climbed its tallest mountains, and gone into space. But the largest areas of our planet remain largely a mystery: the deep oceans. At over 36,000 feet deep, there areas closest to earth’s core have remained nearly impossible to reach—until now. Technological innovations, engineering breakthroughs and the derring-do of a team of explorers, led by explorer Victor Vescovo, brought together an audacious global quest to dive to the deepest points of all five oceans for the first time in history. The expedition pushed technology to the limits, mapped hidden landscapes, discover previously unknown life forms and began to piece together how life in the deep oceans effects our planet—but it was far from easy. Expedition Deep Ocean is the inside story of this exploration of one of the most unforgiving and mysterious places on our planet, including the site of the Titanic wreck and the little-understood Hadal Zone. Vescovo and his team would design the most advanced deep-diving submersible ever built, where the pressure on the sub is 8 tons per square inch—the equivalent of having 292 fueled and fully loaded 747s stacked on top of it. And then there were hurricane-laden ocean waters and the byzantine web of global oceanography politics. Expedition Deep Ocean reveals the marvelous and other-worldly life found in all five deep ocean trenches, including several new species that have posed as of yet unanswered questions about survival and migration from ocean to ocean. Then there are the newly discovered sea mounts that cause tsunamis when they are broken by shifting subduction plates and jammed back into the earth crust, something that can now be studied to predict future disasters. Filled with high drama, adventure and the thrill of discovery, Expedition Deep Ocean celebrates courage and ingenuity and reveals the majesty and meaning of the deep ocean.

Download or read book The Merging of Two Oceans written by Netanel Miles-Yépez and published by Albion-Andalus Books. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Merging of Two Oceans, Pir Netanel Miles-Yépez follows his In the Teahouse of Experience with a new collection of talks, laying the foundations for understanding the historical and spiritual connections between Sufism and Hasidism, two of the world's great mystical traditions. He explores the many 'meetings' between these two traditions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, details his own role in the formation of a new Sufi lineage connected with Hasidism, and gives a series of teachings drawing on both traditions. The Merging of Two Oceans is a book that will fascinate admirers of these traditions and their teachings. Praise for The Merging of Two Oceans "Pir Netanel's book opens further the doors of Jewish-Sufi cross-fertilization, offering beautiful stories and practices from both traditions, and furnishing interesting background material pertaining to the creation of the Inayati-Maimuni Order and its founding pir, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. If you are someone whose soul is stirred by both the Sufi and Hasidic traditions, this is a book you will want to read." - Gregory Blann (Shaykh Muhammad Jamal al-Jerrahi), When Oceans Merge: The Contemporary Sufi and Hasidic Teachings of Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi "With The Merging of Two Oceans, Pir Netanel Miles-Yépez has brought us an important and long-overdue piece of scholarship, as soulful as it is erudite. Peppered with practices, teaching tales, and the history of the Sufi and Jewish mystical traditions' intertwining, The Merging of Two Oceans is an accessible and deeply nourishing read that many spiritual seekers will celebrate. " - Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, author of Wounds into Wisdom: Healing Intergenerational Jewish Trauma "Embracing the ancient maxim that "the height of human knowledge is to know that we do not know," Pir Netanel encourages us to embrace the interspiritual learning that has enriched Jews and Muslims, Hasidim and Sufis, for centuries. He describes how these two "oceans" commingled in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and in the life of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. The Merging of Two Oceans also recounts a story of friendship between rebbe and student and beautifully describes the author's ordination. Pir Netanel makes esoteric teachings accessible through references to contemporary literature and film, as well as history and stories, and philosophical, spiritual, and psychological wisdom gleaned from a contemplative reading of scripture. This rich context informs concrete advice on how to meditate and pray. If you find yourself at the uncomfortable 'crossroads of religions, ' Pir Netanel meets you there and lets you know you're not alone." - Father David Denny, co-founder of The Desert Foundation, and co-author of Desert Voices: The Edge Effect and "In this book, our dear brother Netanel Mu'in ad-Din has prepared a banquet of wisdom for the soul and mind that overflows with deep and detailed knowledge of tradition and practice. The clarity and mastery with which he explains the meeting and merging of these two traditions, Sufism and Hasidism, allows the reader to become familiar with the central teachings of both traditions in an accessible way, while also becoming acquainted with the nuances of their respective spiritual terminologies. In addition, by sharing details of his personal journey with his spiritual guide and the birth of a new lineage, he provides us with insights into the inner workings of the tradition, something that is often hidden and can only be speculated about. As a work that is at once spiritual manual, history and storytelling, this collection of talks can be seen as inspired by the malfuzat ('discourses') genre of Sufi literature." -Shaykh Issa Farajajé, Chishti-Nizami Sufi Shaykh
