Sinopsis

"Polar Exploration" chronicles humanity's daring ventures into the Arctic and Antarctic, revealing the motivations, experiences, and environmental challenges faced by early explorers. It highlights how these expeditions, driven by scientific curiosity and national ambition, profoundly shaped our understanding of Earth's polar regions. The book illustrates how explorers navigated treacherous ice and extreme cold with rudimentary tools, demonstrating remarkable resilience.

 
Consider James Cook, William Parry and Roald Amundsen whose journeys not only expanded geographical knowledge but also laid the groundwork for current geopolitical strategies. The book unfolds in three parts: the early objectives and key figures, the specific challenges of polar environments, and the lasting scientific and geopolitical consequences.

 
Readers will discover how these historical endeavors inform contemporary debates on climate change and polar conservation. Delving into expedition journals and meteorological data, the book uncovers the sheer adversity faced, while also examining the impact of exploration on resource management. It connects historical discoveries with modern environmental and political issues, providing a comprehensive look at the legacy of polar exploration.

    In the middle ages, Christianity shared much with Buddhism and other Eastern philosophies. Read on to learn how Christian mystics came to the same conclusions as those from very different faiths. This edition has been adapted from the 1923 version into modern English to make the ideas more accessible to today's reader, the Cloud of Unknowing distills a complex mystical epistemology and discipline into engagingly readable prose.The Cloud of Unknowing is a work of Christian mysticism written in Middle English in the latter half of the 14th century. It is a spiritual guide, which focuses on using contemplative prayer to know God by abandoning consideration of God's particular activities and attributes, and having the courage to surrender your mind and ego to the realm of "unknowing", at which point one may begin to glimpse the nature of God.The book counsels the young student to seek God, not through knowledge and intellect, but through intense contemplation, motivated by love, and stripped of all thought. This is brought about by putting all thoughts and desires under a "cloud of forgetting," and thereby piercing God's cloud of unknowing with a "dart of longing love" from the heart.

    The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
     
    Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
     
    Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
     
    At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
     
    The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
     
    “Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
