Download or read book The Big Melt written by Emily Riddle and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-19 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Big Melt is a debut poetry collection rooted in nehiyaw thought and urban millennial life events. It examines what it means to repair kinship, contend with fraught history, go home and contemplate prairie ndn utopia in the era of late capitalism and climate change. Part memoir, part research project, this collection draws on Riddle’s experience working in Indigenous governance and her affection for confessional poetry in crafting feminist works that are firmly rooted in place. This book refuses a linear understanding of time in its focus on women in the author’s family, some who have passed and others who are yet to come. The Big Melt is about inheriting a Treaty relationship just as much as it is about breakups, demonstrating that governance is just as much about our interpersonal relationships as it is law and policy. How does one live one’s life in a way that honours inherited responsibilities, a deep love for humour and a commitment to always learning about the tension between a culture that deeply values collectivity and the autonomy of the individual? Perhaps we find these answers in the examination of ourselves, the lands we are from and the relationships we hold.

Book excerpt: The time for action is now. The fate of the world's coasts rests on a knife edge as global warming melts ice sheets and glaciers from the Alps to the Andes. The choices we make now will determine whether oceans rise by a coast-swamping 1 metre by 2100 or whether we can save our coastal communities. From the glaciers of Antarctica and the high Andes, to the small island states of the Pacific and the coastal cities of Miami, New York, Venice and Rotterdam – Alister Doyle tracks the thaw that threatens life as we know it, shining a light on the most vulnerable people at the shoreline who are already moving inland, on the scientists puzzling about what is going on, and on the ideas about how to limit the damage.

Download or read book The Big Thaw written by Ed Struzik and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-07-14 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Canadian Science Writers' Association's Science in Society Book Award Banff Mountain Book Award Finalist The City of Edmonton Book Prize Finalist Shortlisted for the Wilfred Eggleston Award for Non-Fiction Climate change's effects are reshaping the Arctic profoundly. Landscapes are being radically transformed, animal habitats are disappearing, and natural resources are being revealed to an energy-starved world. Veteran Arctic journalist Ed Struzik took eleven trips throughout the north to document this rapidly changing land, gaining unprecedented access to scientific expeditions, native communities and security and sovereignty experts. The product of those trips, The Big Thaw is the only book that looks at global warming's wide-ranging impact on the Arctic. Struzik goes into the field with the world's leading polar bear scientist, skis on melting glaciers with glaciologists, travels the Northwest Passage on an aging icebreaker and stalks a carnivorous rogue walrus with an Inuit hunter. His journeys bring him up close to some of the world's most unique animals, from the iconic polar bear to the mysterious narwhal. Struzik melds the vivid stories of his experiences with fascinating explorations of the Arctic's past -- from the alligators and giant tortoises that inhabited the north 55 million years ago, to the 19th century explorers who died searching for the Open Polar Sea -- and its possible future as the center of international struggle, underground smuggling and ecological disaster.

Download or read book The Choice for Love written by Dr. Barbara Deangelis and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment we are born and through every day of our lives, each of us is traveling on a mysterious, relentless, passionate, and sometimes perplexing journey in search of the experience of Love. Love, however, isn’t simply an emotion, a behavior, or even the bond you feel with another person—it’s a supercharged, light-drenched, limitless vibrational field of infinite divine energy that is our essential nature. The true search for love, then, must inevitably direct us within, where we discover that the love we’ve been seeking in countless ways has been inside of us all along. The Choice for Love is the inspiring and revelatory new book from New York Times best-selling author and renowned transformational teacher Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D. Known for helping millions of people make profound shifts in their relationship with themselves, others, and spirit, Dr. De Angelis has written an eloquent, illuminating, and deeply compassionate guide for transforming your relationship to love and bringing more of it into all aspects of your life. She offers you invaluable wisdom and practical tools for healing, opening, and expanding your emotional and spiritual heart, and teaches you how to use love as the highest spiritual practice. What is the choice for love? It is a revolutionary shift in your relationship with the energy of love itself. It invites you into a new, enlightened experience of love as a vibrational state of being. It isn’t the choice for new thoughts about love, new attitudes about love, or a new philosophy about love. It’s the choice to enter into the experience of your own unlimited love, and open to the unfathomable treasures that your heart holds. When we think that love originates from the outside, we mistakenly believe that we need to wait until something happens to give us an experience of love. Dr. De Angelis explains that love isn’t something we can actually "get" from anyone else. No one can give you any love you don’t already have.? Love comes from the inside out. Now more than ever, in these unsettling times on our planet, we’re each called to become a living remedy, to not fall in love, but to rise in love. The Choice for Love is a masterful and sacred pilgrimage of words whose enlivened wisdom will move you, awaken you, and liberate you to embrace, embody, and delight in more love than you ever imagined was possible.

Download or read book Revolutionary Essays on Life Earth and Politics written by Sherman Lewis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, not speculative philosophy, is the only guide, however imperfect, to the nature of existence. Science culture uses and supports science. The social brain experiences free will and needs religious faith. Empathy is a choice based on intuition. We need a better scientific understanding of dogma and chauvinism, and this book explores these issues. It also describes the Crisis of the Anthropocene, described in under a hundred pages, is a wakeup that needs to overcome ignorance and naïve optimism, and reach our deepest emotions. Topics include climate change, biodiversity, pollutants, population, and political causes behind the collapse. This book also presents data from Internationalcomparisons.org that demonstrates that the US is neither advanced nor a democracy and has failed to deal with guns, reproductive rights, taxation, social welfare, fiscal discipline, and other issues. Even with these already significant problems Americans must face, there is even more: Trumpism and Putinism are existential threats to American freedom and democracy. This book presents a framework for others to act in the time of these issues.

Download or read book Powers of Two written by Edwin A. Valentijn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is everything Information? This is a tantalizing question which emerges in modern physics, life sciences, astronomy and in today’s information and technology-driven society. In Powers of Two expert authors undertake a unique expedition - in words and images - throughout the world (and scales) of information. The story resembles, in a way, the classic Powers of Ten journeys through space: from us to the macro and the micro worlds . However, by following Powers of Two through the world of information, a completely different and timely paradigm unfolds. Every power of two, 1, 2, 4, 8.... tells us a different story: starting from the creation of the very first bit at the Big Bang and the evolution of life, through 50 years of computational science, and finally into deep space, describing the information in black holes and even in the entire universe and beyond.... All this to address one question: Is our universe made of information? In this book, we experience the Information Universe in nature and in our society and how information lies at the very foundation of our understanding of the Universe. From the Foreword by Robbert Dijkgraaf: This book is in many ways a vastly extended version of Shannon’s one-page blueprint. It carries us all the way to the total information content of the Universe. And it bears testimony of how widespread the use of data has become in all aspects of life. Information is the connective tissue of the modern sciences. [...] Undoubtedly, future generations will look back at this time, so much enthralled by Big Data and quantum computers, as beholden to the information metaphor. But that is exactly the value of this book. With its crisp descriptions and evocative illustrations, it brings the reader into the here and now, at the very frontier of scientific research, including the excitement and promise of all the outstanding questions and future discoveries.

Download or read book The Green Fallacy written by Nick Johanson and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast world of environmentalism, misconceptions are infinitely abundant. The Green Fallacy is about using logic and common sense to tackle the many fallacies associated with manmade global warming and environmentalism. These days, environmentalism is more about emotion than truth. Rather than using supporting evidence, environmentalists relentlessly appeal to the public's emotions, trying to lure you in with pictures of cute, fuzzy polar bears and evil, devastating hurricanes. In The Green Fallacy, we will take a long, hard look at the many holes in the issue of manmade global warming. Nick Johanson presents arguments that are contrary to the mainstream arguments of the day and asks questions that most people currently in positions of authority often avoid or fail to answer altogether. 'Are hurricanes really getting more frequent?' 'Are polar bears really dying?' 'Is carbon dioxide really a pollutant?' These are just a few of the many questions we will delve into in The Green Fallacy. What is a Fallacy? According to Dictionary.com, 'fallacy' can be defined as, 'a deceptive, misleading, or false notion.' A fallacy is basically the exact opposite of truth. Truth is verifiable and indisputable, while a fallacy can be proven wrong by simply looking at the supporting evidence, or lack thereof. Nick Johanson currently resides in a small town in Washington State and is actively working his way through college in Oregon, majoring in Radio Broadcasting. He plans to go into Voiceover Acting and maybe, one day, have his own talk radio show. He enjoys Scuba Diving, talking politics, chocolate milk, and exercising his 2nd Amendment rights as an American citizen.
