  The true story of the life journey of a combat fighter pilot and astronaut. An adventure that illuminates a path toward understanding the meaning of life and our place in the universe. 
  Humanity faces an unprecedented crisis that threatens all life on Earth. Desert Storm fighter pilot and NASA astronaut Ron Garan addresses this head-on in Floating in Darkness: A Journey of Evolution, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed first book, The Orbital Perspective: Lessons in Seeing the Big Picture from a Journey of 71 Million Miles. 
  Ron takes us on an extraordinary journey through outer space and inner space. He explores the dancing, intersecting orbits of religion, spirituality, and science while grappling with his own role in the violence of combat and the effects of war on all aspects of human life. We witness Ron struggling with mortality while also basking in the sheer wonder and beauty of our world and beyond. 
  From this perspective, Ron maps out a viable path forward--to solve our crisis, we need a giant leap in humanity's evolutionary process. We must transcend individual and collective ego and embrace the true nature of our interdependence with this fragile planet and all life within its biosphere. Ron shows us how to discover our purpose, detoxify our divisive culture, and become a "white blood cell" in a growing immune response to heal our world. 
  Floating in Darkness is a blueprint to build a restorative and positive future for all.

  Urban Sociology - The Study of...

  Urban sociology is a dynamic field of study that explores the social, economic, and political aspects of urban spaces and how they shape individuals and communities. It draws from various theoretical foundations to understand the complexities of city life and the ways in which urban environments influence human behavior. Several foundational theories have played a pivotal role in shaping the field, each offering a distinct perspective on urban society. 
  One of the earliest and most influential theories is the Chicago School of Sociology, which emerged in the early 20th century. Scholars such as Robert Park and Ernest Burgess focused on the spatial distribution of social groups within cities, emphasizing the concept of the “ecology” of cities. They argued that cities, like natural ecosystems, are composed of different areas where social groups interact, often resulting in patterns of segregation and social conflict. This approach highlighted the dynamic relationship between individuals and their urban environment, with a particular focus on issues like migration, social disorganization, and the impact of urban growth. 
  Another key theoretical foundation is Karl Marx's analysis of urbanization. Marxism focuses on the role of capitalism in shaping urban spaces, viewing cities as sites of economic exploitation and class struggle. According to Marxist theory, the growth of cities is intrinsically linked to the development of capitalism, which creates divisions between the working class and the capitalist elite. This perspective emphasizes the role of urban spaces in perpetuating social inequalities, as the wealthy class controls resources and the working class is often marginalized or displaced.

  Why It's OK to Eat Meat

  Dan C. Shahar

  In Why It's OK to Eat Meat, Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it's entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat—and not just the "fancy" offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar's examination forcefully echoes vegetarians' concerns about the meat industry's impacts on animals, workers, the environment, and public health. However, he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians, Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world's problems to tackle. 
   
   
   
  Key Features include: 
   
   
   
  ● First book-length defense of meat-eating written for a popular audience 
   
   
   
  ● Punchy, accessible introduction to the multifaceted debate over the ethics of eating meat 
   
   
   
  ● Includes pioneering new examinations of humane labeling practices 
   
   
   
  ● Shows why appeals to universalized patterns of behavior can't vindicate vegetarians' claims that there's a duty to avoid meat 
   
   
   
  ● Develops a novel theory of ethical activism with potential applications to a wide range of other issues
