The human impulse to religion--the drive to explain the world, humans, and humans’ place in the universe – can be seen to encompass environmentalism as an offshoot of the secular, material faith in human reason and power that dominates modern society. Faith in Nature traces the history of environmentalism--and its moral thrust--from its roots in the Enlightenment and Romanticism through the Progressive Era to the present. Drawing astonishing parallels between religion and environmentalism, the book examines the passion of the movement’s adherents and enemies alike, its concern with the moral conduct of daily life, and its attempt to answer fundamental questions about the underlying order of the world and of humanity’s place within it.
Thomas Dunlap is among the leading environmental historians and historians of science in the United States. Originally trained as a chemist, he has a rigorous understanding of science and appreciates its vital importance to environmental thought. But he is also a devout Catholic who believes that the insights of religious revelation need not necessarily be at odds with the insights of scientific investigation. This book grew from his own religious journey and his attempts to understand human ethical obligations and spiritual debts to the natural world.

IN BOOK 2 OF THINGS WE LOST IN THE NIGHT:
IT'S SPRING IN HONOLULU as the band opens at an off-the-beaten-path, beach-front nightclub, playing to packed audiences of locals and American warriors during the most violent months of the Vietnam War. Larry meets someone here who changes his life forever. Back on the Mainland, Larry tries to leave his romantic island fantasy behind and searches for redemption as the band returns to its Indiana roots. Though the record everyone had expected to become a national hit fails in the wake of a national tragedy, the band's popularity and success continue to grow on the West Coast.
"... Larry J.] Dunlap is such a beautiful writer. I found myself lost in the book, as if I was watching a really good movie. Bravo " -- J.L. Clayton, SegnaLibro.co.uk
THE FLAMINGO HOTEL OFFERS a long-term engagement in Las Vegas in the Sky Room, a dance/showroom designed for them. Larry, now happily married with a new child on the way, and with more follow-up recording sessions ahead, can hardly believe his good fortunes. But when their next records fail and the band grows restless playing in one place, Larry attempts to spark the band's creativity to write their own songs. A sudden crisis in his personal life arises when his wife and son are missing. His life and sanity are at risk as he tries to save his band and young family.
"And this why we read, to connect with someone who manages to find words for our crazy wordless lonely journey. Enchanted goes there...and I believe you'll find yourself along the way." --Reader Review

Experience with them the tumultuous nights they inhabit where too many people and things are too easily found and lost.
"You want to know if I'm okay?" I asked in the voice of a condemned criminal. "Why don't I just tell you Every time I think about you, which mostly all of the time, my heart wants to stop. Sometimes, I can't catch a full breath, I feel like I'm smothering. My brain thinks it's on fire, screaming at me to get up and run--somewhere, anywhere. My body doesn't work right. My muscles don't work together moving my bones around, I walk in fits and starts like a puppet with cut strings"

The Journey Continues
Thirteenth-century Languedoc, torn apart by decades of crusades against the Cathar heretics, braces for the final stand of the Catholic Church against the Good Men and Good Women at the remote fortress of Montsegur. Azemar and Azalais, now fugitives after their daring escape from the castel de Belascon, must try to reach the fortress-and fulfill their destiny-before it's too late.
But the captivating trobairitz Jordane de la Moux d'Aniort and her damozel Johana have escaped with them at the last minute, putting them all in grave peril. Will Jordane's conflicting desire to reunite with the rebel Raimon de Berenger thwart Azemar and Azalais's quest?
A cryptic note leads Azemar to the Templar stronghold at Mas Deu, where he undergoes brutal trials-only to discover that his ultimate purpose could lead him to destroy the very culture and religion he wants to preserve.
Book II of the Orphans of Tolosa Trilogy.

Описание: A classic romantic tale with a modern twist, this dazzling Indies Introduce pick follows two teenagers as they secretly fall in love for the first time. Izzy, a practical-minded teen who intends to become a doctor, isn't happy about her recent move from the Lower East Side across the river to Brooklyn. She feels distanced from her family, especially her increasingly incomprehensible twin brother, as well as her new neighborhood. And then she meets Tristan. Tristan is a chess prodigy who lives with his aunt and looks up to his cousin, Marcus, who has watched out for him over the years. When he and Izzy meet one fateful night, together they tumble into a story as old and unstoppable as love itself. In debut author Shannon Dunlap's capable hands, the romance that has enthralled for 800 years is spun new. Told from several points of view, Izzy + Tristan is a love story for the ages and a love story for this very moment. This fast-paced novel is at once a gripping tale of first love and a sprawling epic about the bonds that tie us together and pull us apart and the different cultures and tensions that fill the contemporary American landscape.

Автор: Dunlap Lila Название: Trysts ISBN: 0998663646 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780998663647 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 13790.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Poetry. From Proto-Indo-European deru- or dreu-, "tryst" is cognate with duir, Ogham for oak, as well as druid. Sturdy oak for making doors for druids to open. Lovers pressed against the venerable trunk. Of course, tryst also sounds like tristis, with which it is not, apparently, cognate; tristis comes from PIE treystis, bad mood. But Tristan whose name comes from the Latin also knew scenes of trysting--he and Yseult spent three years in the forest of Morrois, sleeping in bowers and in each other, giving into the dangerous magic of love, eating uncivilized food like venison and enduring the trance that was the result of the potion they drank. The forest, as the opposite of civilization, was the perfect place to indulge their seductions. These trysts forced me to abandon the poems I was trying to write, in order to write into the other-worldly music that they desired. In order to tryst one must leave what one knows for the dangerous other, the seductive something that lives among the trees.
