The End of Eden

Wild Nature in the Age of Climate Breakdown

By: Adam Welz

“Exquisite.”-DAVID WALLACE-WELLS “At once an elegy and an exhortation.”-ELIZABETH KOLBERT “A book that goes deeper than any before into the meaning of the climate breakdown for all the rest of creation.”-BILL McKIBBEN “Celebratory and heartbreaking.”-DAVID GEORGE HASKELL A revelatory exploration of climate change from the perspective of wild species and natural ecosystems--an homage to the miraculous, vibrant entity that is life on Earth. The stories we usually tell ourselves about climate change tend to focus on the damage inflicted on human societies by big storms, severe droughts, and rising sea levels. But the most powerful impacts are being and will be felt by the natural world and its myriad species, which are already in the midst of the sixth great extinction. Rising temperatures are fracturing ecosystems that took millions of years to evolve, disrupting the life forms they sustain--and in many cases driving them towards extinction. The natural Eden that humanity inherited is quickly slipping away. Although we can never really know what a creature thinks or feels, The End of Eden invites the reader to meet wild species on their own terms in a range of ecosystems that span the globe. Combining classic natural history, firsthand reportage, and insights from cutting-edge research, Adam Welz brings us close to creatures like moose in northern Maine, parrots in Puerto Rico, cheetahs in Namibia, and rare fish in Australia as they struggle to survive. The stories are intimate yet expansive and always dramatic. An exquisitely written and deeply researched exploration of wild species reacting to climate breakdown, The End of Eden offers a radical new kind of environmental journalism that connects humans to nature in a more empathetic way than ever before and galvanizes us to act in defense of the natural world before it's too late.

Merleau-Ponty and Nishida

Artistic Expression as Motor-Perceptual Faith

By: Adam Loughnane

In Merleau-Ponty and Nishida, Adam Loughnane initiates a fascinating new dialogue between two of the twentieth century's most important phenomenologists of the Eastern and Western philosophical worlds. Throughout the book, the reader is guided among the intricacies and innovations of Merleau-Ponty's and Nishida's ontological approaches to artistic expression with a focused look at a rarely explored connection between faith and negation in their philosophies. Exploring the intertwining of these concepts in their broader ontologies invokes a reappraisal of the ambiguous status of religion and art in the writings of both thinkers. Measuring these ambiguities, the ontologies of Flesh and Basho are read in-depth alongside great artworks and the motor-perceptual practices of seminal landscape artists such as Cézanne, Sesshū, Taiga, and Hasegawa, as well as other major figures of European, Chinese, and Japanese art history. Loughnane studies these artists' bodily practices, focusing on the intimate relations realized with the landscapes they paint, and illuminating a valence of their expressive disciplines as a motor-perceptual form of faith. Merleau-Ponty and Nishida is an exciting intercultural reading, expanding two philosophers' projects toward new horizons of research, revealing incitements in their writings that challenge unambiguous distinctions between art, philosophy, faith, and ultimately philosophy East and West.

To Make the Hands Impure

To Make the Hands Impure

Art, Ethical Adventure, the Difficult and the Holy

By: Adam Zachary Newton

How can cradling, handling, or rubbing a text be said, ethically, to have made something happen? What, as readers or interpreters, may come off in our hands in as we maculate or mark the books we read? For Adam Zachary Newton, reading is anembodied practice wherein “ethics” becomes a matter of tact—in the doubled sense of touch and regard. With the image of the book lying in the hands of its readers as insistent refrain, To Make the Hands Impure cuts a provocative cross-disciplinary swath through classical Jewish texts, modern Jewish philosophy, film and performance, literature, translation, and the material text. Newton explores the ethics of reading through a range of texts, from the Talmud and Midrash to Conrad’s Nostromo and Pascal’s Le Mémorial, from works by Henry Darger and Martin Scorsese to the National September 11 Memorial and a synagogue in Havana, Cuba. In separate chapters, he conducts masterly treatments of Emmanuel Levinas, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Stanley Cavell by emphasizing their performances as readers—a trebled orientation to Talmud, novel, and theater/film. To Make the Hands Impure stages the encounter of literary experience and scriptural traditions—the difficult and the holy—through an ambitious, singular, and innovative approach marked in equal measure by erudition and imaginative daring.

Who Is My Neighbor?

A Guide for Increasing Cultural Competency

By: Adam C. Sikorski

The cultural climate in America today presents polarizing subject matter, manifested as societal pressures that divide communities and impact families and churches. One of the main divisive issues is the topic of race and racism. To effectively minister to diverse people in American communities, people must increase in cultural competency; unfortunately, many people do not know what steps to take to fulfill the quest. This book is about cultural competency. More specifically, addressing how a person can increase their cultural competency to minister more effectively within diverse American cities. While many people desire to bridge the racial divide within their communities, they basically do not know what to do, which results in avoidance of the issue. Utilizing Scripture, culminating with the story of "The Good Samaritan," Jesus emphasizes a key principle within the conversation of racial reconciliation and cultural competency. Jesus commanded the expert in the law to "go and do." Jesus's mandate is a call to action for church communities. However, to effectively engage one's neighbor, particularly a neighbor that is "different," requires a certain level of cultural competency. Therefore, increasing one's cultural competency becomes a means to move from discussion towards action.

Coping with Social Change

Life Strategies of Workers in Poland's New Capitalism

By: Adam Mrozowicki

Manual workers tend to be represented as disoriented victims of post-socialist transformation, but how can such an approach explain the diversity of the actual ways of coping with social change adopted by workers in the new capitalist reality? To address this question the author turns to workers themselves, to their life strategies and personal experiences. He reconstructs the processes of adapting to and resisting structural changes in working-class milieus in one of the industrial regions of Poland (Silesia).

Living with Tiny Aliens

By: Adam Pryor

Living with Tiny Aliens

The Image of God for the Anthropocene

By: Adam Pryor

Astrobiology is changing how we understand meaningful human existence. Living with Tiny Aliens seeks to imagine how an individuals’ meaningful existence persists when we are planetary creatures situated in deep time—not only on a blue planet burgeoning with life, but in a cosmos pregnant with living-possibilities. In doing so, it works to articulate an astrobiological humanities. Working with a series of specific examples drawn from the study of extraterrestrial life, doctrinal reflection on the imago Dei, and reflections on the Anthropocene, Pryor reframes how human beings meaningfully dwell in the world and belong to it. To take seriously the geological significance of human agency is to understand the Earth as not only a living planet but an artful one. Consequently, Pryor reframes the imago Dei, rendering it a planetary system that opens up new possibilities for the flourishing of all creation by fostering technobiogeochemical cycles not subject to runaway, positive feedback. Such an account ensures the imago Dei is not something any one of us possesses, but that it is a symbol for what we live into together as a species in intra-action with the wider habitable environment.

The 7 Kingdoms of the Telestial World

Adam from the Old Testament wrote these

By: Ben Adam

There are 7 Kingdoms that are inside the Telestial Kingdom. Adam of the Old Testament breaks this sacred information in the last days. This translation was orginally written in Hebrew. Ben Adam translates it to perfect English. The seven kingdoms are from top to bottom. When one arrives after the 1000 year millenium and after Christ's final judgement, if assigned to this kingdom you start at what Adam calls "Telestial 0". There are 3 kingdoms below Telestial zero and 3 above. Adam says they surpass all understanding and comprehension but gives us the first real indepth look of each kingdom which are all found here: sites.google.com/view/lawsofthetelestialkingdom/ The 3 Kingdom's above are "beyond imagination" but explained in detail The 3 Kingdom's below are "from similarities to earth life with a real purge to take place yearly, however since the body is resurrected, one cannot die". -Adam, Prophet of the Old Testament and first born with Eve
