Beschreibung

In "Thoughts upon the African Slave Trade," John Newton emerges as a profound moral commentator, delving into the harrowing realities of the transatlantic slave trade. Written with a poignant blend of personal reflection and theological inquiry, the book provides a compelling critique of the inhumanity and ethical dilemmas surrounding slavery. Newton's narrative, steeped in the context of 18th-century Britain, synthesizes vivid personal experiences and biblical admonitions, forging a powerful appeal for abolition rooted in Christian ethics. John Newton, a former slave ship captain turned Anglican cleric, draws his insights from a transformative journey of repentance and faith. His own tumultuous past in the slave trade imbues the text with a unique authenticity and urgency, as he grapples with the moral contradictions of his former life. Through his vivid recollections and evolving theological perspective, Newton became a key figure in the abolitionist movement, demonstrating the possibility of redemption and change. This book is an essential read for those seeking to understand the moral complexities of the slave trade and the evolution of abolitionist thought. Newton's reflections resonate with contemporary discussions on ethics, justice, and humanity, making it a pivotal text for readers interested in history, theology, and social justice.

    Before the rise of the mighty Kanem-Bornu dynasty, the vast expanse of the Sahel was home to diverse tribes and scattered settlements that laid the groundwork for what would become one of the Sahara’s longest-lasting empires. In this early era, communities thrived in a challenging environment where survival hinged on adaptability and a profound connection with the land. The region, bridging the fertile savannahs and the arid expanse of the desert, nurtured a mosaic of cultures that developed sophisticated social structures long before centralized power emerged. 
    The early inhabitants relied on oral traditions to pass down stories of heroic ancestors, migrations, and the intimate bond they shared with nature. These narratives, rich in symbolism and local lore, served as the cultural bedrock for later generations. They recounted times of plentiful harvests and the strategic use of scarce water resources, highlighting the ingenuity and resilience of communities that innovated in agriculture and irrigation. Such stories not only preserved the memory of a once-abundant land but also inspired the collaborative spirit that would be essential for forming larger political entities.  
    Over time, as environmental challenges and the need for security intensified, these small communities began to coalesce into broader tribal alliances. The bonds formed through intermarriage, trade, and mutual defense gradually paved the way for the emergence of rudimentary governance structures. Early leaders, often revered for their wisdom and ability to resolve conflicts, began to assert influence over wider territories, laying the foundational framework for centralized authority. These leaders capitalized on the established trade networks that crisscrossed the region, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies that further solidified communal bonds.

    Rights of Nature laws are becoming a vital tool for addressing environmental injustice. From New Zealand and India to Ecuador and Bolivia, advocates have successfully secured legal rights for rivers, forests, and mountains. Granting rights to nature has the potential to expand environmental protections, strengthen indigenous rights, promote sustainable development, and alter how humans relate to nature. Despite these promises, rights of Nature laws have met with greater resistance in some countries than in others. 
     
     
     
    Standing for Nature offers advocates a blueprint for creating, implementing, and safeguarding rights of Nature laws. This book looks closely at four examples—New Zealand, Colombia, Bangladesh, and the United States—to explain why these laws have been successful in some places but not others. Through this comparative exploration, the authors highlight key strategies for advancing rights of Nature laws in the United States and around the world. These lessons include an examination of different legal traditions to better understand which is the best form of law—judicial, legislative, or regulatory—for advocates to target; how to ensure effective implementation once a law is passed; and how to shift communal perspectives on the human-Nature relationship for better implementation and enforcement.

    Neem Karoli Baba, known to his followers as Maharaj-ji, was a mystic saint and devotee of Hanuman. Maharaj-ji’s teachings were simple and universal. He often said, “Sub Ek” — All is One. He taught us to “love everyone, serve everyone, remember God, and tell the truth.” Strongly connected to Hanuman, God in the form of a monkey, Maharaj-ji taught in a highly personalized, non-traditional way that reflected the deep devotion of the bhakti path of the heart. Known as the “Miracle Baba” throughout north India, he manifested many siddhis (powers), such as being in two places at once or putting devotees in samadhi (elevated state of God consciousness) at the touch of a finger. Here is the essence of his remarkable life and teachings. He is known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of Americans who traveled to India in the '60s and '70s, including Ram Dass and Bhagavan Das, as well as musician Krishna Das. For many years Baba was closely associated with silent sadhu Baba Hari Dass. 
     
    Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the '60s. After that, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His '70s iconic book, Be Here Now, turned on a generation to the deep, nonsectarian spirituality within us all. Krishna Das is an American vocalist known for performing Vedic devotional music known as kirtan. Bhagavan Das is an American yogi who lived for six years in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. He is a bhakti yogi, kirtan singer, spiritual teacher, and writer. Baba Hari Dass was initiated in the Vairagi Vaishnava order in 1942. Dass has practiced continual silence since 1952. This is the true story of each of the spiritual "Gang of four" and their master and deep inspiration Neem Karol Baba.
