Описание: The book is based on: a) The premise that "we" (humanity) are the problem, that "we" have created the environmental problems that threaten our future. b) The premise that we need to mature and evolve our collective human consciousness. We have used an immature, unevolved thinking process based on early childhood conditioning to create and function in the modern world. c) The premise that we need to intentionally tame, evolve, and mature our collective primitive ego-consciousness. d) The premise that we created the existential force-multipliers that threaten to create social and civil collapse...systemic force-multipliers that include neo-liberal global capitalism, global warming, climate change, massive wealth inequality, massive debt, the illusion of separateness from the world we live in, the need to be "right," the inability to embrace systemic thinking, the inability to understand exponential growth, our species primitive ego resistance to change, the greed-based belief embedded in capitalism that unlimited growth and unlimited consumption of non-renewable natural planetary resources is possible on a limited planet, ignoring the fact that we need to intentionally simplify our lives, ignoring the fact that we need to begin powering down from the use of fossil energy (which is currently depleting very rapidly), population growth headed toward 10 billion by mid-century...all of which will create unavoidable social and civil collapse in the near future. e) The premise that a growing number of people globally recognize that we are headed for an unsustainable future and are searching for a future that embraces a realistic path of "hope." f) The premise that there is currently little to no social or political will to confront these existential force-multipliers and the solutions that are being offered and discussed are based on grossly unrealistic Tinker Bell thinking... the belief that "someone" will create some magical/technical solution that will solve all our problems. g) The premise that small, self-reliant, local communities and local economies that have intentionally tamed and matured their collective thinking is the future of human civilization and human culture on our planet. My Goals in Writing This Book a) Educate people on the existential dangers and massive changes that are coming when the force multiplier threats begin to systemically collapse human civilization as we know it. b) Encourage the importance and need to tame and mature the collective consciousness of members in the local community they create. c) Promote and create workshops that will teach and educate those interested in creating a local self-reliant community the skills and resources they will need to be successful. d) Build multiple "seed" local communities that could begin to network with other self-reliant local communities and local economies in order to strengthen their ability to survive and begin to create a viable human culture on our planet.

Описание:
The essays in this book analyze and explain the crisis of democratic representation in five Andean countries: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. In this region, disaffection with democracy, political parties, and legislatures has spread to an alarming degree. Many presidents have been forced from office, and many traditional parties have fallen by the wayside. These five countries have the potential to be negative examples in a region that has historically had strong demonstration and diffusion effects in terms of regime changes. The Crisis of Democratic Representation in the Andes addresses an important question for Latin America as well as other parts of the world: Why does representation sometimes fail to work?

Описание:
Representing diverse cultural viewpoints, Muslim Women in War and Crisis collects an array of original essays that highlight the experiences and perspectives of Muslim women—their dreams and nightmares and their daily struggles—in times of tremendous social upheaval. Analyzing both how Muslim women have been represented and how they represent themselves, the authors draw on primary sources ranging from poetry and diaries to news reports and visual media. Topics include:
Peacebrokers in Indonesia
Exploitation in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Chechen women rebels
Fundamentalism in Afghanistan, from refugee camps to Kabul
Memoirs of Bengali Muslim women
The 7/7 London bombings, British Muslim women, and the media
Also exploring such images in the United States, Spain, the former Yugoslavia, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, and Iraq, this collection offers a chorus of multidimensional voices that counter Islamophobia and destructive clichés. Encompassing the symbolic national and religious identities of Muslim women, this study goes beyond those facets to examine the realities of day-to-day existence in societies that seek scapegoats and do little to defend the victims of hate crimes. Enhancing their scholarly perspectives, many of the contributors (including the editor) have lived through the strife they analyze. This project taps into their firsthand experiences of war and deadly political oppression.

Описание: Kenneth Glyn Jones has revised his definitive version of Messier`s catalogue. His own observations and drawings, together with maps and diagrams, make this a valuable introduction to deep sky observing. Historical and astrophysical notes bring the science of these nebulae to the fore. This is a unique handbook, unlikely ever to be equalled in its completeness and importance to the telescope owner.
Описание: In The Coronavirus Crisis and Its Teachings: Steps towards Multi-Resilience Roland Benedikter and Karim Fathi first describe the pluri-dimensional characteristics of the Coronavirus crisis. Then they draw the pillars for a more “multi-resilient” Post-Corona world including socio-political recommendations of how to generate it. The Coronavirus crisis proved to be a bundle crisis consisting of multiple, interconnected crisis dimensions.
Before Corona, most concepts of a “resilient society” implied a rather isolated focus on only one crisis at a time. Future preparedness in the 21st century will require a multi- and transdisciplinary risk-management concept that the authors call “multi-resilience”. “Multi-resilience” means to systematically enhance universal resilience competencies of societies, such as collective intelligence or overall responsiveness, being appliable to pluri-dimensional crisis contexts. If the Coronavirus crisis in retrospect will have contributed to implement multi-resilience, then it will ultimately have contributed to progress.
This volume includes a Foreword by Jan Nederveen Pieterse and an Afterword by Manfred B. Steger.
