Nature Study

As humans accelerate global warming while laying waste to the environment, animals and plants must flee to the margins: on scattered nature reserves, between major highways, or among urban sprawl. And when even these places become too hot and inhospitable, wildlife is left with only one path to survival: an often-formidable journey toward the poles as they race to find a new home in a warming world. Award-winning environmental journalist Benjamin von Brackel traces these awe-inspiring journeys and celebrates the remarkable resilience of species around the world.

Our human life consists of our body, mind, and awareness. These are the three dimensions of our life. Our sense of self begins with our body but increasingly shifts to our mind as we grow into being a functioning adult in our human world of creative activities. Most of us live out our busy lives with our body-mind being our sense of self, and we never get around to discovering the spiritual dimension of our life. The spiritual dimension of our life is our awareness. Our spiritual life is our awakening to our awareness as our true self, our true life, and our eternal home.

Did you ever think about where your jeans come from? How about the people who made your T-shirt, or what happens to the clothes you grow out of when you're done wearing them? The fabrics clothes are made of, the way they are designed and sewn and shipped around the world, and the way we consume them and get rid of them - every step in this process has a big impact on our environment, on the people who work in clothing factories, and on our cultures.

Did you know that every author of the NT was a Jew (with the exception of Luke, but he was a disciple of Paul). Furthermore, the New Testament had not been compiled when letters were circulated that later became the New Testament, so the only Holy Writings available to the New Testament Jewish authors were what Christians call the Old Testament. Therefore, does it surprise you that the New Testament is steeped in Hebraic thought and contains nearly a thousand quotations and allusions from the Hebrew Scriptures?

As global rates of plant and animal extinctions mount, anxieties about the future of the earth's ecosystems are fueling ever more ambitious efforts at conservation, which draw on Western scientific principles to manage species and biodiversity. In Revenant Ecologies, Audra Mitchell argues that these responses not only ignore but also magnify powerful forms of structural violence like colonialism, racism, genocide, extractivism, ableism, and heteronormativity, ultimately contributing to the destruction of unique life forms and ecosystems.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) had a profound influence on the shape of 19th-century thought and political discourse. His view of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to the unrestricted state. Mill favoured decentralised forms of socialism because he thought that a centralised model would discourage competition, neglect talent, and disregard freedom.

God or Nature, Whatever is what happens when a philosophy grad student decides to explain Baruch Spinoza—the 17th-century lens grinder who got canceled by every major religion—using sarcasm, swearing, and a deeply unhealthy relationship with Euclidean geometry.

A philosophical roast that actually teaches you something. Inside, you'll learn: Why Spinoza thought God was just...

As children, we are captivated by stories of huge fantastical creatures, such as the wooly mammoth and the pterodactyl. The prevailing wisdom is these species are long extinct, but new evidence uncovered by author Gerald McIsaac casts doubt on these widely held assumptions.
