The Web of Meaning - Jeremy Lent
The Web of Meaning is both a profound personal meditation on human existence and a tour-de-force weaving together of historic and contemporary world-wide secular and spiritual thought on the deepest question of all: why are we here? Gabor Maté M.D., author, In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction We need, now more than ever, to figure out how to make all kinds of connections. This book can help--and therefore it can help with a lot of the urgent tasks we face. Bill McKibben, author, Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?As our civilization careens towards a precipice of climate breakdown, ecological destruction and gaping inequality, people are losing their existential moorings. Our dominant worldview of disconnection, which tells us we are split between mind and body, separate from each other, and at odds with the natural world, has passed its expiration date.Yet another world is possible.Award-winning author, Jeremy Lent, investigates humanity s age-old questions - who am I? why am I? how should I live? - from a fresh perspective, weaving together findings from modern systems thinking, evolutionary biology and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism and indigenous wisdom.The result is a breathtaking accomplishment: a rich, coherent worldview based on a deep recognition of connectedness within ourselves, between each other, and with the entire natural world.

Professor Lewis Dartnell, author of Being Human Space: the biggest geopolitical story of the coming century - new from the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography Spy satellites orbiting the Moon. Space metals worth billions.Humans on Mars within our lifetimes. This isn t science fiction. It s astropolitics.We re entering a new space race - and it could revolutionise life on Earth. Space: the new frontier, a wild and lawless place. It is already central to communication, economics, military strategy and international relations on Earth.Now, it is the latest arena for human exploration, exploitation - and, possibly, conquest. We re heading up and out, and we re taking our power struggles with us. China, the USA and Russia are leading the way.From physical territory and resources to satellites, weaponry and strategic choke points, geopolitics is as important in the skies above us as it is down below. If you ve ever wondered if humans are going back to the Moon, who will benefit from exploration or what space wars might look like, the answers are here. With all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK s most popular writer on geopolitics, this gripping book shows how we got here and where we re going, covering great-power rivalry; technology; commerce; combat in space; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth.This is essential reading on power, politics and the future of humanity.

Find out why Europe⠙s next refugee crisis is closer than it thinks as trouble brews in the Sahel; why the Middle East must look beyond oil and sand to secure its future; why the eastern Mediterranean is one of the most volatile flashpoints of the twenty-first century; and why the Earth⠙s atmosphere is set to become the world⠙s next battleground. Delivered with Marshall⠙s trademark wit and insight, this is a lucid and gripping exploration of the power of geography to shape humanity⠙s past, present ⠓ and future. ⠘Another outstanding guide to the modern world.

Theory and Explanation in Geography - Henry Wai-chung Yeung
THEORY AND EXPLANATION IN GEOGRAPHY With this book Henry Yeung puts Geography back into the driver s seat of new theory development. Foregrounding mid-range theories and mechanism-based explanations, he offers a pragmatic approach that has the capacity to shape the wider social sciences for years to come. The timing of this intervention is pitch-perfect, as scholars search for ways to understand and intervene in an increasingly distrustful and polarized world. â ”KATHARYNE MITCHELL, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA In Theory and Explanation in Geography Yeung presents us with a rare thing - an argument for geographical theory with forms of causal explanation at its heart. The book is both modest and ambitious. Modest in its insistence on mid-level theory without a call for some new â œturnâ or advocacy for any particular approach. Ambitious in its insistence that existing theoretical traditions are inadequate or incomplete insofar as they lack causal explanatory power. Geographers will be inspired and/or infuriated by Yeungâ ™s arguments in this provocative and cogently argued call to theoretical arms for many years to come. â ”Tim Cresswell, Ogilvie Professor of Geography, University of Edinburgh, UK Critical human geography possesses a distinctive theory cultureâ ”pluralist, creative, distributed, restless, contestedâ ”prone to â œturning,â wary of orthodoxies and fixed positions. In this original and provocative contribution, the leading economic geographer Henry Yeung steps out beyond his home turf to engage styles and practices of theorizing across this diverse field, carving out a new remit and rubric for middle-range theorizing. â ”JAMIE PECK, Canadian Research Chair and Distinguished University Scholar, University of British Columbia, Canada Grounded in a generous reading of a multitude of critical approaches in human geography and their diverse conceptions of theory, Theory and Explanation in Geography draws upon cutting-edge debates on the mechanism-based approach to theory and explanation in analytical sociology, political science, and the philosophy of social sciences to inform current and future geographical thinking on theory. This consolidated conceptual work represents an extension and much further development of the author s well-cited works on relational geography, critical realism and causal explanation, process-based methodology, globalization and the theory of global production networks, and theorizing back and situated knowledges that were published in leading journals in Geography. The work has several chapters that identify new directions for Geographyâ ™s current and future engagement with the wider social sciences and relevant research agendas in geographical thought. Its main chapters provide the necessary conceptual toolkits for mobilizing such an expanding research program in the 2020s and beyond. Compared to typical texts on geographical thought, this book is less retrospective and historical and more prospective in nature. Detailing why and how mid-range explanatory theories can be better developed through causal mechanisms and relational thinking that have been revitalized in the social sciences, Theory and Explanation in Geography is an essential read for academics, geographers, and scholars seeking unique perspective on an important facet of the field.

The Question of Palestine - Edward W. Said
A major work by one of the great public intellectuals of the twentieth century, The Question of Palestine was the first book to narrate the modern Palestinian experience in English. Edward Saidâ ™s project to â ˜bring Palestine into historyâ ™ was unquestionably a success â “ there is no longer a question of whether Palestine had a history before colonization â “ and yet Palestinian self-determination is as distant as ever. With the rigorous scholarship he brought to his influential Orientalism and shaped by his own life in exile in New York, Saidâ ™s account of the traumatic national encounter of the Palestinian people with Zionism is still as pertinent and incisive today as it was on first publication in 1979.

The End of the World - Don Hertzfeldt
From the imagination of legendary animator and two-time Oscar nominee Don Hertzfeldt comes a hilarious fever-dream vision of the apocalypse, now available in wide release for the first time since the rare original edition sold out.Created during sleepless nights while he worked on his animated films, The End of the World was illustrated entirely on Post-It notes over the course of several years, slowly taking shape from all the deleted scenes, bad dreams, and abandoned ideas that were too strange to make it to the big screen, including essential early material that was later developed into the animated classic World of Tomorrow. Hertzfeldt s visually striking work transcends its unusual nature and taps into the deeply human, universal themes of mortality, identity, memory, loss, and parenthood . . . with the occasional monstrous biting eel descending from the sky.
