Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this scientifically authoritative essay collection, Salzman, a seasoned and provocative environmentalist, demonstrates how evolutionary theory penetrates nearly all aspects of human society. She faults social justice movements for their short-sighted focus on human needs to the exclusion of nonhuman nature and stresses the potential of evolutionary thought for replacing religious and secular ideologies with an ecological paradigm for broad social change. Salzman's special concern is the resurgence of irrationality, anti-intellectualism and anti-science attitudes. She explodes the myth of genetic determinism promoted in popular media, discrediting the belief that natural selection involves violence. In place of the arbitrary 'economism' of socialists and the free marketeers' faith in untrammeled economic growth, she envisions a human society modeled on interdependent self-regulating natural systems.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We were created, designed, in God's image, but God will always be a mystery to our minds, bound as they are by time and space. By attempting to achieve atonement with God, a state of harmony and oneness, we can realize our true purpose-sharing in the boundless love with which God has bequeathed us and with which he provided the spark for our evolution to begin. Our evolution continues as we move into the future, and we can no longer afford to let our faith and our thinking be influenced by ancient beliefs. In Love's Lure: God's Project People: A Third Millennium Vision, author John Ford seeks to bridge the gap between theology and science by examining how God's Word speaks to us in the present and transforms our modern understanding of truth, spirit, and love. With his intimate knowledge of Scripture, Ford helps us explore the nature of Godhead and Jesus's life and teachings as they contribute to the redefinition of faith-truth lies in what God says to us now, and in following his loving example. Every disaster and mishap should be regarded as an opportunity for the outpouring of love and represents a chance to work tirelessly for positive change. We are all engaged in God's ongoing venture to create beings in harmony with him, but how we let his work touch our hearts is always up to us.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dan Russo had nothing in common with his first cousin except their lineage and the fact that they were both young. But one evening when his cousin told him about the scene in downtown Newark, New Jersey, a door to a secret world opened for Dan-a world that revolved around homosexuality, new experiences, and sexual freedom.Russo begins his memoir in the early sixties, in a time when the Waldorf Hotel was a bohemian hangout for such artsy characters as Mad Alice who was always semi-drugged, Miss Coppertone who dyed his hair red and spoke with a lisp, and Mafia Bob who was gifted with a raspy voice and wore a tiny hat. As Russo continues with a revealing look into his childhood when his bi-curiosity began, he introspectively shares what it is like to be sexually confused, hide the secret of your true identity from everyone, and then suspect that some might know anyway. Downtown offers a profoundly honest, chronological portrayal of one man's coming-of-age journey through both the bright and dark sides of life as he eventually discovers his own way to bring good to a troubled world.…

Author Joseph Kennedy had no idea what to write; he was prepared to fail instantly.
