Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Vanishing of a Species is a serious treatise exploring the past evolution, present predicament and possible future extinction of a particular species on planet Earth. The species is Homo sapiens. The threat to the species is Homo sapiens. The author, a former professor of geology and geophysics, starts his exploration by putting man in context, both in terms of space and time. We find that in either case, man is not as pre-eminent as he may believe. While man is the most accomplished toolmaker this planet has ever seen, his technical progress is overpowering his social progress-an imbalance that sets the stage for his vanishing act, absent quick, corrective action. The author makes a compelling case that society's unrestricted material growth is the challenge of our times. Modern man's predicament refers broadly to man's collision course with nature-his attitude of ruthless exploitation leading to depletion of non-renewable resources, pollution of the environment, overpopulation, with its accompanying increase in human aggression, and other effects. After the agricultural and industrial-scientific revolutions, it is now time for the Human Revolution-a more realistic attitude on the part of man towards the universe, the earth and other forms of terrestrial life. Vanishing covers a wide spectrum from man's early beginnings to the modern problems of population increase, resource depletion, pollution, crime, and many more. The book addresses the roles that heredity (nature) and environment (nurture) play in shaping man's nature, and in particular, his current high level of aggression-a trait that stands in the way of the Human Revolution. The author calls for the humanists to communicate with the technologists through an interdisciplinary dialogue that may pave the way to the Human Revolution. Major works discussed in Vanishing include the Club of Rome's much reviewed 1972 work The Limits to Growth and updates thereto, as well as C.P. Snow's seminal 1959 lecture on The Two Cultures. Vanishing concludes that without the Human Revolution in short order, Homo sapiens may well turn out to be an evolutionary flash in the pan-occupying a dominating but fleeting position in earth history. Vanishing should appeal to all audiences. Recent economic turmoil around the globe, and increasing evidence of the serious strain placed on the earth by the demands of humankind, make the observations and recommendations raised within Vanishing deserving of the sober attention of all Homo sapiens interested in the survival and prosperity of their species.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 668 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Moby Dick, also known as The Whale, is a novel first published in 1851 by American author Herman Melville. The story tells the adventures of the sailor Ishmael and his voyage on the whaleship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ishmael believes he has signed onto a routine commission aboard a normal whaling vessel, but soon learns that Captain Ahab is searching for one specific whale, Moby Dick, a great white sperm whale infamous for his size and ability to destroy the whalers that hunt him. Captain Ahab's wooden leg is the result of his first encounter with the whale, when he lost both leg and ship. He is determined to get his revenge. As the novel draws to a conclusion, the Pequod encounters the whaling ship Rachel. The Rachel's captain asks Ahab to help him in a search and rescue effort for his whaling crew that went missing the day before¿and the captain's son is among the missing. But when Ahab learns that the crew disappeared while tangling with Moby Dick, he refuses to assist in the rescue in order to hunt down Moby Dick himself. The final encounter ends tragically. Ishmael alone survives, using his friend Queequeg's coffin as a flotation device until he is ironically rescued by the Rachel, which has continued to search for its missing crew.

It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The themes and settings of Looking Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland. While the first book begins outdoors in the warm month of May, uses frequent changes in size as a plot device and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second book opens indoors on a wintry night in November exactly six months later, uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards and so forth.
