The Book of the Dead: Lives of the Justly Famous and the Undeservedly Obscure. The team behind the New York Times bestseller The Book of General Ignorance turns conventional biography on its head—and shakes out the good stuff. Following their Herculean—or is it Sisyphean? Here, then, is a dictionary of the dead, an encyclopedia of the embalmed.
Ludicrous in scope, whimsical in its arrangement, this wildly entertaining tome presents pithy and provocative biographies of the no-longer-living from the famous to the undeservedly and—until now—permanently obscure. Organized by capricious categories—such as dead people who died virgins, who kept pet monkeys, who lost limbs, whose corpses refused to stay put—the dearly departed, from the inventor of the stove to a cross-dressing, bear-baiting female gangster finally receive the epitaphs they truly deserve.
The Book of the Dead—like life itself—is hilarious, tragic, bizarre, and amazing. You may never pass a graveyard again without chuckling. From the Hardcover edition. The Complete Works of Charles Dickens: He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity.
He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television. The Chalice and the Blade provides a new view of our human past that differs from traditionally accepted accounts. Based on archeological evidence from our prehistory and a look at more recent historicy through a different lens, Eisler exposes a past marked by periods of peace and prosperity. Eisler attributes these periods to the mutual partnerships experienced between men and women at a societal level, which Eisler terms gylanic.
Once Eisler establishes this distinction, undercurrents in history come into sharp focus. Eisler points to periods in history defined by relative peace and productivity which are a reflections of societial leanings toward gylanic relationships between men and women. By contrast, particularly dark, violent, and repressive periods of history can be correlated to androcratic societal frameworks. This brings exciting prospects for our potentially shared future as an alternative is presented that contrasts the ingrained idea that our violent history has been predetermined by our very nature.
Instead, a partnership model for society, a model that is not outside of human experience but has traditionally been repressed, can be strived for. Based on our current capacity for devastating destruction and unbridled technological innovations achieved at the expense of our natural world, a quest for new societal models seems to be a requirement for the continuation of our human saga rather than an optional prospect.

Rambo and the Dalai Lama is a sociological and psychological expose of the human compulsion to compete with and domineer over one another in adversarial relationships. Fellman explores multiple facets of our society including politics, religion, sports, popular music and films in order to portray how adversarialism permeates our culture and threatens it at the level of global warfare.
Although adversarial behavior persists deep within our interactions, institutions, and modes of thought, there are also seeds of "mutualism. Fellman offers the reader insight into this new paradigm and proposes ways to pursue more mutualistic behaviors and tendencies. One of the strengths of his analysis is the infusion of personal experience in the pursuit of overcoming his own adversarial tendencies and the mental tribulations accompanying such an undertaking.
Fellman encourages exploration and experimentation both internally and externally, whether through the reappropriation of self or by looking for and fostering mutualism in our environment. Like a ripple in a pond, our own experiments in mutualism have the potential to stimulate a global paradigm shift, something that the author would like to live to see.

Building Peace constructs a framework for sustained peace efforts in societies divided by various forms of conflict and offers tangible ways of functioning through it, which have been mostly underutilized in mainstream peace processes to this point. In order to do this, Lederach, a peace scholar and practitioner to multiple conflicts throughout the world, proposes a holistic and integrative approach to peacebuilding.
Structurally, there should be involvement at the grassroots leadership level of conflicts by local leaders and community developers, middle-range authorities including scholars and humanitarian leaders of nongovernmental organizations, and top level leaders in politics, religious institutions, and the military. Lederach proposes that the middle range leadership in this model is optimally positioned to work for long term sustained peacebuilding efforts. Also, consideration should be given to the specific conflicts, the relationships between conflicting parties, and the larger systems which are responsible in part for fostering conflicts.
It is proposed that subsystems, or microcosms of the system at large, provide an excellent middle way for peacebuilding that is positioned between the smaller conflict and the larger system. Another important component of the peacebuilding framework is approaching the conflict as a process that is dynamic and progressive over a period of time which needs to be conceptualized so that various strategies and actions are deployed by facilitators filling diverse roles. Of extreme importance is the need for reconciliation, where opposing parties are allowed to have the appropriate time and space required to address and heal historical grievances that may run extremely deep into the structure of the divided societies.
Innovation and creativity are needed for relationship building between the parties, as often times this component is not treated with the import needed for long term sustained peace. Of course resources are also required, but perhaps more important is the need for the infrastructure to utilize the resources optimally. Finally, coordination across the framework is necessary if peacebuliding is to be sustained.
Though not dealing with war, fighting, and other forms of physical violence surrounding national and international politics, this book brings in the understanding and practices of Rosenberg as a psychologist who focuses on human emotion, psychology, and human relationships in daily lives and in the world. As a society and as individuals, we are avoiding painful realities in the world around us; but this is not a hopeless state of affairs. Marsden, John, and Shaun Tan.

Overall, Lederach proposes a comprehensive approach for peacemakers that takes into account the broader picture of peacebuilding, but also coordinates and focuses efforts toward specific conflicts. A new look at life on earth. For each of our different actions, there are only consequences. The hypothesis, which is extremely contentious to this day, originated from James Lovelock's work with NASA to produce life detecting instruments for use in the exploration of Mars.
Lovelock's hypothesis stems from the observation that the Earth's atmosphere contains elements that are in "violation of the rules of chemistry," which indicates that the maintenance of its dis-equilibrium relies on a complex system of interaction with the world of which it is an extension; comparable to an organism's hair or feathers. The hypothesis, simply put, proposes that the earth acts as a living organism that maintains equilibrium through the interconnectedness of its biota, oceans, geological makeup, and atmosphere. This new proposal brings with it the idea that we, as senient, intelligent beings who are increasingly becoming a larger part of the biota that makes up the world, bear responsibility for the inevitable consequences of our actions and interactions that are a part of a much large system.
Coming back to life: Practices to reconnect our lives, our world. Gabriola Island, BC, Canada: Coming Back to Life elucidates the principle that everyone and everything is interconnected, not only via traditions in religion, spirituality, and indigenous cultures, but also through discussions of systems theories that have been increasingly coming to light in recent scientific research, philosophical inquiry, and movements in deep ecology. That is to say, we are waking up from our current hierarchical, anthropocentric, competition based model of being so that we may move toward a cooperative, compassionate, natural model.
The immediacy of the need for this to happen is palpable, since we are increasingly seeing and accepting the oppression, poison, destruction, death, and despair that is resulting from our current way of life. As a society and as individuals, we are avoiding painful realities in the world around us; but this is not a hopeless state of affairs.

They are not just put there as a convenience for us, neither are they just an oppressed minority in human life. They are the group to which we belong. We are a small minority of them. It seems reasonable to suggest that we ought to take them seriously. Animals and Why They Matter is a concise philosophical inquiry into animal rights. Midgley discusses past philosophical and scientific insights and draws connections between the kind of logical arguments that neglect the rights of nonhuman animals and those that in the past have led to the neglect of rights in human matters e.
It is a natural phenomenon to have a stronger sense of compassion and ethical obligation to those with stronger associations to oneself, but to deny another being's rights based on individual kinship is not an ethically sound system of action. Although Midgley is concerned with this largely neglected topic, she does not take a stance that is absolutist on either end of the spectrum, whether it be as extreme as Descartes' argument that animals lack a soul and are therefore simply machines, or whether it be an activist's stance which allots nonhuman animals the same rights as humans.
Instead, the topic is broached so that it can be addressed both rationally and humanely without disregarding emotional or anthropomorphic tendencies as irrelevant to the question of our ethical obligations as stewards to the animal kingdom. The search for a nonviolent future: A promise of peace for ourselves, our families, and our world.
