paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, attractive copy, near fine, slight ding and indentation at mid spine on rear cover, book appears unused. BERNSTEIN, ELLEN. Toward a holy ecology: reading the Song of Songs in the age of climate crisis. Foreword by Bill McKibben. Rhinebeck, New York: Monkfish Book Publishing Company, 2024, xviii, 148pp., . Sections with the biblical text are Hebrew and English on facing pages; all text and commentary otherwise in English. - "The Song of Songs is among the most accessible of all biblical books. It is also the most deeply ecological text of the canon, yet few people are aware of the Song's ecological message. The intention of Toward a Holy Ecology: Reading the Song of Songs in the Age of Climate Crisis is to illuminate that message. Today there is such urgency around our many earth crises-so much brokenness-that we need a vision of wholeness and an ecological language that can help inspire, soothe and reinvigorate us, and bring us together regardless of our various affiliations and ideologies. The Song offers both ecological language and a vision. It sets the natural world before us with intensity and beauty, bidding us to savor it with all of our senses so that we may return to the world with the renewed clarity, love and energy necessary to work toward a healthy future for the earth and all her inhabitants. The Song is a particularly powerful book since it never utters the name of the divine, yet is a deeply spiritual work that may reach people who are interested in matters of the sacred, but prefer to steer clear of God language and conventional religious ideas. In both the Jewish and Christian worlds, where many people are disengaging from religion altogether, the Song-with its universal themes of love, justice and the integrity of nature-may help open the door to the possibilities which religion has to offer. Toward a Holy Ecology: Reading the Song of Songs in an Age of Climate Crisis seeks to engage a wide readership including all people who love the earth and its inhabitants, outdoor enthusiasts, spiritual seekers, poets, feminists, and students of the humanities, religion and ecology".

A century of genocide: utopias of race and nation. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2003, later printing number line, 360pp., . An updated paperback edition was publishsed in 2015 with 384-pages, with a new preface by the author. - Why did the twentieth century witness unprecedented organized genocide? Can we learn why genocide is perpetrated by comparing different cases of genocide? Is the Holocaust unique, or does it share causes and features with other cases of state-sponsored mass murder? Can genocide be prevented? Blending gripping narrative with trenchant analysis, Eric Weitz investigates four of the twentieth century's major eruptions of genocide: the Soviet Union under Stalin, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, and the former Yugoslavia. Drawing on historical sources as well as trial records, memoirs, novels, and poems, Weitz explains the prevalence of genocide in the twentieth century--and shows how and why it became so systematic and deadly. Weitz depicts the searing brutality of each genocide and traces its origins back to those most powerful categories of the modern world: race and nation. He demonstrates how, in each of the cases, a strong state pursuing utopia promoted a particular mix of extreme national and racial ideologies. In moments of intense crisis, these states targeted certain national and racial groups, believing that only the annihilation of these "enemies" would enable the dominant group to flourish. And in each instance, large segments of the population were enticed to join in the often ritualistic actions that destroyed their neighbors. This book offers some of the most absorbing accounts ever written of the population purges forever associated with the names Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Milosevic. A controversial and richly textured comparison of these four modern cases, it identifies the social and political forces that produce genocide. - CONTENTS: An Armenian prelude -- Introduction : genocides in the twentieth century -- ch. 1.

Come back in September: a literary education on West Sixty-Seventh Street, Manhattan. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2022, stated First Edition, and 1st printing number line starting with 1, 419pp., . "Critic and writer Darryl Pinckney recalls his friendship and apprenticeship with Elizabeth Hardwick and Barbara Epstein and the introduction they offered him to the New York literary world. Pinckney's education in Hardwick's orbit took place in the context of the cultural movements then sweeping New York. In addition, through his peers and former classmates such as Felice Rosser, Jim Jarmusch, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lucy Sante, Howard Brookner, and Nan Goldin--Pinckney witnessed the coming together of the New Wave scene in the East Village. He experienced the avantgarde life at the same time as he was discovering the sexual freedom brought by gay liberation. It was his time for hope. In Come Back in September, Pinckney recalls his introduction to New York and to the writing life. The critic and novelist intimately captures this revolutionary, brilliant, and troubled period in American letters. Elizabeth Hardwick was not only his link to the intellectual heart of New York but also a source of continuous support and of inspiration--in the way she worked, her artistry, the beauty of her voice. Through his memories of the city and of Hardwick, we see the emergence and evolution of Pinckney himself as a writer.". ISBN 9780374126650. …

Blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Some spotting and browning. Good-plus in dust-wrapper. An insider's account of the fight against poaching and the tiger trade in the Far East. "While intelligence services around the world unite and vast sums are spent fighting the war against drugs and illegal weapons, there are no top secret agencies fighting the organised crime against nature. This highly dangerous investigative work is done by only a handful of individuals around the world. Michael Day is one of them. With an almost reckless disregard for his own safety, he regularly slips quietly behind the scenes using the latest covert surveillance technology to penetrate the defence of ruthless smuggling networks. .Fight for the Tiger is an enthralling adventure; an essentially human tale of courage, ingenuity and determination that shows how one man, changing the direction of his life, survived death threats, disease and near financial ruin to delve deep into a gangster-dominated underworld, in a passionate struggle to save the wild tiger from extinction."
