The Earth Only Endures

On Reconnecting with Nature and Our Place in It

By: Jules Pretty

For most of human history, we have lived our daily lives in a close relationship with the land. Yet now, for the first time, more people are living in urban rather than rural areas, bringing about an estrangement. This book, by acclaimed author Jules Pretty, is fundamentally about our relationship with nature, animals and places. A series of interlinked essays leads readers on a voyage that weaves through the themes of connection and estrangement between humans and nature. The journey shows how our modern lifestyles and economies would need six or eight Earths if the entire worlds population adopted our profligate ways. Pretty shows that we are rendering our own world inhospitable and so risk losing what it means to be human: unless we make substantial changes, Gaia threatens to become Grendel. Ultimately, however, the book offers glimpses of an optimistic future for humanity, in the very face of climate change and pending global environmental catastrophe.

Power Games

A Political History of the Olympics

By: Jules Boykoff

The Olympics have a checkered, sometimes scandalous, political history. Jules Boykoff, a former US Olympic team member, takes readers from the event's nineteenth-century origins, through the Games' flirtation with Fascism, and into the contemporary era of corporate control. Along the way he recounts vibrant alt-Olympic movements, such as the Workers' Games and Women's Games of the 1920s and 1930s as well as athlete-activists and political movements that stood up to challenge the Olympic machine.

Letting Go of Logic

By: Jules Goddard

Reason can take us only so far. At a certain point, it ineluctably falls silent. Other ways of thinking need to be called upon. Reason is good at discerning error, identifying evil, and calling out nonsense; but it is poor at deriving actions from aims, theories from observations, laws from facts, values from experience, and judgments from codes of conduct. Because logic cannot escape its own premises, it remains enclosed in its starting assumptions. If everyone in the world obeyed only reason, we would have no science, art, or morality. This engaging new book is chock full of ideas and arguments, stimulating the reader to take them forward in their own mind. Business schools are moving to a more philosophical curriculum. Both professors and students are asking deeper questions than those answered by economics and psychology. The book will appeal to business practitioners as well as business school students and teachers.
