The Living Climate
Author: Luigi Morelli
Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press
ISBN: 1912992728
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
What are the causes of our current environmental and ecological crises? Is the enforcement of international 'net zero' carbon strategy the best solution to the problems we face, or are there deeper issues that need to be addressed? Rejecting the view of the earth as an isolated or 'closed' system – as in conventional computer modelling – Luigi Morelli argues that our planet is an 'open' system – a living entity that maintains a dynamic equilibrium within its own kingdoms and the wider solar system. Humans, however, still have a pivotal role to play. Building on the pioneering work of Goethe, Rudolf Steiner, Viktor Schauberger and others, Morelli expands our view of the climate, from the oceans and atmosphere to the sun, and from the last 150 years to the history of our climate over millennia. In doing so, he exposes the weakness of the prevailing fixed narratives around our undoubtedly changing environment – in particular, the conventional hypothesis concerning carbon emissions. Such 'consensus science' is often at the mercy of established economic interests, who have largely co-opted academia and scientific institutions. In a thoroughly researched and accessible study, The Living Climate explores the intricacy and wisdom of an untold variety of cycles in nature and the critical and overlooked role of water within the 'greenhouse gas' model. Challenging mechanistic representations of the global ecosystem, Morelli's holistic, scientific review offers potential solutions to seemingly intractable problems. 'Morelli takes the reader on a hero's journey through the entrenched theories of climate change into the deeper, holistic causes of – and potential solutions to – this confounding, highly politicized reality.' – Robert Karp, social entrepreneur 'The author should be commended for compiling this timely and well-researched book. It will be of great value to all who are looking for a better understanding of troubling weather phenomena and a beacon of hope for those who have been disappointed with the inability of conventional climate science to explain them'. – Branko Furst, MD, author of The Heart and Circulation 'A very important contribution to the ecological crisis we humans currently face. Through the lens of Schauberger's work, the reader is called to take a very wide, encompassing view of nature. Morelli convincingly demonstrates that in the current climate change narrative we desperately need such an outlook and the kind of approach that Schauberger developed.' – Elisabeth Chomko, filmmaker

The Lives of Hans Luther, 1879 - 1962
Author: Edmund C. Clingan
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739136437
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
For the first time in any language, a book examines the life of Hans Luther, the German statesman whose career began at the tail end of the Second Empire and ended in the postwar years. Luther had a front-row seat for World War I, the Revolution of 1918, the Great Inflation, the Great Depression, and the rise of the Third Reich-serving as Hitler's first ambassador to the United States. C. Edmund Clingan chronicles the life of this controversial German politician, diplomat, and banker. Luther served as mayor of Essen during the Revolution of 1918, the Kapp Putsch, and the occupation of the Ruhr Valley by the French. Rising rapidly in the political ranks, he served as finance minister and then, briefly, as chancellor in 1925 and 1926. Many criticized his policies as president of the Reichsbank during the Great Depression. Adolf Hitler then appointed Luther to serve as ambassador to the United States. After being recalled to Germany in 1937, Luther retired from politics until after World War II, when he served the Federal Republic well into the 1950s.

The Wizard of Mecosta: Russell Kirk, Gothic Fiction, and the Moral Imagination
Author: Camilo Peralta
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
"The Wizard of Mecosta" offers an extended analysis of the fiction of Russell Amos Kirk (1918-1994), a central figure in modern American conservatism who is often referred to as “the father” of the same. Born and raised in Michigan, Kirk was also a prolific writer of fiction, who published almost two dozen short stories and three novels over the course of his long career. At the heart of everything Kirk wrote was what he referred to as the “moral imagination,” a phrase he borrowed from Edmund Burke and often used to describe the instructive and enlightening purposes of great literature. Despite his prominent reputation as a public man of letters and the respect of fellow authors including Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, Kirk’s fiction was never very popular, and has fallen into almost complete obscurity in the present. "The Wizard of Mecosta" is the first full-length study ever published about Kirk’s fiction, and the only work of any length to consider the entirety of his output, including all of the stories and novels he wrote. By emphasizing how Kirk’s fiction illuminates certain aspects of his social and political theory, "The Wizard of Mecosta" distinguishes itself from the half-dozen or more studies of the author’s life and work that have been published since his death in 1994. It should appeal to anyone with an interest in American conservatism, as well as fans and scholars of the sort of Gothic horror in which Kirk, unexpectedly, excelled. Through his stories of avenging ghosts and timeless journeys through the afterlife, he reminds us of the existence of “permanent things,” the core values and beliefs of Western society, which he strove all his life to preserve. It is high time that his fiction found a more appreciative, and larger, audience.

The Accountant
Writing the Lives of People and Things, AD 500-1700
Author: Robert F.W. Smith
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134809220
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Historical biography has a mixed reputation: at its best it can reveal much not only about an individual, but the wider context of their life and society; at worst it can result in a narrowly focused work of hagiography or condemnation. Yet in spite of its sometimes inferior status amongst academics, biography has remained a popular genre, and in recent years has developed into new and intriguing areas. As the essays in this volume reveal, scholars from an array of different disciplines have embraced what biography can offer them, expanding the remit of biography from people to things, tracing the 'life' of their chosen object from creation to use to disposal to rediscovery. The increasing concern with the physicality of manuscripts and books has also meant an awareness of and interest in the 'lives' of these forms of material culture. Historians have also become increasingly interested in groups of individuals resulting in prosopographical studies. A book on the diversity of biography is therefore very timely, exploring the multi-disciplinary application of historical biography in the period 500-1700. It presents fourteen case studies offering new approaches to historical biography, written by early-career researchers from backgrounds in archaeology, English, art, architectural history and history, demonstrating different approaches and techniques. Overall, the collection is a strong and united statement by a group of early-career researchers who insist on the vitality of biography as a central concern of historians across the disciplines of the humanities. Contributors believe that the 'life' is a fundamental medium of study for the medieval and early modern periods, and thus . bolsters the move back towards biography as a primary tool of medieval and early modern scholars, as well as a tool for future research for humanities scholars interested in biography.

The Wizard's Illusion
Author: Katherine Abetz
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666736023
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
In a world of increasingly strident identity politics, a theological approach, claiming no more than the outworking of subjectivist sentiment, offers no remedy. What if a key factor in this predicament is a misrepresentation of the operation of metaphor? This acknowledged building-block of language looks set to become a mere component of the wearer’s spectacles. The consequences for theology, philosophy, literature, and even the sciences are yet to be charted. This book takes readers on a journey to the Land of Oz and asks whether our culture, while discarding past errors, can reconnect with the spiritual bonds that underpin language, truth in its various forms, and identity. Companions on the road are Dorothy and her friends, Sallie McFague and the Wizard, Paul Ricœur and C. S. Lewis, and others.
