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.

Book excerpt: Eighteen-year-old Rylla Wayscot has always wanted to fly, but being human has its limitations. As a cartographer's daughter in the Earthen-Crest kingdoms' boot of Aylati, Rylla wants more than anything to know the whereabouts of her brothers, even if it means finding them herself. But there's one problem: she's afraid to venture too far from home. After a short walk to the Grove and stumbling into a talking cat, she realizes she may have no other choice. There she is told she's an Earth-Treader-one who can bend the will of nature and speak to animals, and she's reminded of the Earth-Lore-the five missing stones which once held their kingdoms together. But with a growing Darkness lurking on the horizon, the missing stones are being sought by many. Rylla is tasked with finding them herself, especially before the cruel Lord Brennigan does. Despite all her protestations, Rylla can't escape her fate. She must embark on this impossible journey and leave all her comforts behind. But she's not alone. Even with fear and doubt as her armor, Rylla meets strangers who challenge her resolve, and she learns that even in the shadows love and light can thrive. Perhaps it's even enough to give her wings.
Download or read book The Pillars of the Earth written by Ken Follett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-06-29 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller Oprah's Book Club Selection The “extraordinary . . . monumental masterpiece” (Booklist) that changed the course of Ken Follett’s already phenomenal career—and begins where its prequel, The Evening and the Morning, ended. “Follett risks all and comes out a clear winner,” extolled Publishers Weekly on the release of The Pillars of the Earth. A departure for the bestselling thriller writer, the historical epic stunned readers and critics alike with its ambitious scope and gripping humanity.

A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett’s historical masterpiece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While commenting on The Earthen Flute, Lorna Dee Cervantes, who is “probably the best Chicana poet active today,” wrote, “”Prayers carry lives within” as do these luminous and varied poems: some, brief as a firefly’s single pulse from the darkness, some, brightly lit as the long bridge between cultures. In these poems “an enormous God steps in” and reveals. The world is multi-valenced, multifaceted and multi-layered. “Live in the layers,” another poet, Stanley Kunitz, advises us. These poems dwell a language beyond the many borders of languages. Something else speaks: Truth—of the known, the unknown and the unknowable. “A wonderful world opens up deep inside.” You owe it to yourself to read these poems right now, not so much as to get out of your “self” as to come inside. Just as the old maps of the new “India” would label the margins, “There Be Demons Here” within these pages of Kiriti Sengupta: Here Lives The Angelic, right here on this “Earth…where I wish to live.””The Earthen Flute was formally launched in Calcutta by Sanjukta Dasgupta and Sharmila Ray on February 21, 2016.

Download or read book Earth Architecture written by Ronald Rael and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ground we walk on and grow crops in also just happens to be the most widely used building material on the planet. Civilizations throughout time have used it to create stable warm low-impact structures. The world's first skyscrapers were built of mud brick. Paul Revere Chairman Mao and Ronald Reagan all lived in earth houses at various points in their lives and several of the buildings housing Donald Judd's priceless collection at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa Texas are made of mud brick." "While the vast legacy of traditional and vernacular earthen construction has been widely discussed, little attention has been paid to the contemporary tradition of earth architecture. Author Ronald Rael founder of Eartharchitecture.org provides a history of building with earth in the modern era focusing particularly on projects constructed in the last few decades that use rammed earth mud brick compressed earth cob and several other interesting techniques. Earth Architecture presents a selection of more than 40 projects that exemplify new creative uses of the oldest building material on the planet."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Nietzsche s Earth written by Gary Shapiro and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new book, philosopher Gary Shapiro aims to demonstrate the extreme relevance of Nietzsche s thought to some of the contemporary world s most pertinent political issues, fully acknowledging the prescience of his thinking in several areas. In particular, Shapiro takes up Nietzsche s environmentalism and his concern with the direction ("Sinn") of the earth to show how Nietzsche is one of few major philosophers to have anticipated the most important and characteristic questions about modernity, and to have addressed them when it first became possible to do so (given Nietzsche s historical context: the 19th century zenith of the nation-state and the new speeds of industry, transportation, and communication). Nietzsche, Shapiro says, has important things to say about topics that are very much on the agenda today: globalization; the character of a livable earth (what he called a "Menschen-Erde"); and geopolitical categories that characterize people and places, peoples and states. While Nietzsche was clear in foregrounding these issues and questions, there is still much to be done in making sense of them, and "Nietzsche s Earth" offers a fresh reading informed both by Nietzsche s assessment of modernity, and by contemporary philosophical discussion in the work of Deleuze and Guattari, Agamben, Badiou, Foucault, Derrida, and others."
