Summary

'Courage' is a commencement address delivered by J. M. Barrie to the St. Andrews University graduates in 1922. Barries is best-remembered today for writing Peter Pan. In his speech, Barrie advises the students to not be afraid to do better than "the greats" before them who have committed wrongdoings, and to hold onto their aspirations. However, he also reminds them that everyone will eventually be held responsible for their actions.

    Speed Limits - Where Time Went...

    Drawing together developments in religion, philosophy, art, technology, fashion, and finance, Mark C. Taylor presents an original and rich account of a great paradox of our times: how the very forces and technologies that were supposed to free us by saving time and labor now trap us in a race we can never win. The faster we go, the less time we have, and the more we try to catch up, the farther behind we fall.  
 
 
Connecting our speed-obsession with today's global capitalism, Taylor composes a grand narrative showing how commitments to economic growth and extreme competition, combined with accelerating technological innovation, have brought us close to disaster. Psychologically, environmentally, economically, and culturally, speed is taking a profound toll on our lives.

    This collection brings together indigenous thinkers and practitioners from Aotearoa and internationally to discuss the effects of
trauma on indigenous peoples across social, economic, political and cultural environments.
The authors explore understandings and practices of indigenous people, grounded in the knowledge of ancestors and based on
research, that facilitate healing and wellbeing. The first part of the book focuses on research findings from He Oranga Ngākau:
Māori Approaches to Trauma Informed Care, which supports health providers working with whānau experiencing trauma. It
discusses tikanga Māori concepts, decolonising approaches and navigating mauri ora.
The subsequent chapters explore indigenous models of healing, focusing on connections to land and the environment, whakapapa
connections and indigenous approaches such as walking, hunting, and growing and accessing traditional foods for wellbeing.

    What rational justification is there for conceiving of all living things as possessing inherent worth? In Respect for Nature, Paul Taylor draws on biology, moral philosophy, and environmental science to defend a biocentric environmental ethic in which all life has value. Without making claims for the moral rights of plants and animals, he offers a reasoned alternative to the prevailing anthropocentric view--that the natural environment and its wildlife are valued only as objects for human use or enjoyment. Respect for Nature provides both a full account of the biological conditions for life--human or otherwise--and a comprehensive view of the complex relationship between human beings and the whole of nature.  This classic book remains a valuable resource for philosophers, biologists, and environmentalists alike--along with all those who care about the future of life on Earth. A new foreword by Dale Jamieson looks at how the original 1986 edition of Respect for Nature has shaped the study of environmental ethics, and shows why the work remains relevant to debates today.
