The environmental crisis is global in scope, yet contemporary environmental ethics is centered predominantly in Western philosophy and religion. Earth's Insights widens the scope of environmental ethics to include the ecological teachings embedded in non-Western worldviews. J. Baird Callicott ranges broadly, exploring the sacred texts of Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism, as well as the oral traditions of Polynesia, North and South America, and Australia. He also documents the attempts of various peoples to put their environmental ethics into practice. Finally, he wrestles with a question of vital importance to all people sharing the fate of this small planet: How can the world's many and diverse environmental philosophies be brought together in a complementary and consistent whole?

 stock image, actual book may vary The harvest of a long and deep acquaintance with Joyce's fifteen enigmatic stories of Dublin life, Narrative Con Texts in "Dubliners" creatively widens the definition of "context" to include networks of theme and symbol. By treating Dubliners as an expanding document of lives in the process of being lived and by paying attention to how the boundaries between stories break down, Benstock is able to notice how characters and situations come uncannily to resemble each other. There are several innovative approaches here for example, the thorough inspection of the economic conditions of Joyce's Dublin, down to the halfpenny as well as new twists on established ideas. Benstock attempts a global, integrated reading of the stories, substituting his more holistic "con texts" for the current fashion of context-hunting. His is an old ambition for full coverage in a new, upbeat format.

 stock image, actual book may vary Natural history down under. Stretching from the equator to the sub-Antarctic, Wild Australasia is an illustrated tour of the Australian region's natural history and ecology. Australasia -- once a part of prehistoric supercontinents -- has been physically isolated from the rest of world for some 45 million years. As a result, it contains a breathtaking array of distinct and one-of-a-kind species. Readers will discover that 90 of its reptiles and 70 of its birds are unique to this environment. Australasia is home to mammals that lay eggs, huge birds that can't fly, marsupials that can, and the world's highest concentration of deadly reptiles and venomous snakes. The landscape is also quite exceptional: Australia is the flattest and driest inhabited continent on earth. The surrounding seas contain dazzlingly colorful reefs and are dotted with exotic strings of islands. This book covers the main continent of Australasia and surrounding islands of New Zealand, New Guinea, New Britain, New Caledonia and Lord Howe Island. Wild Australasia is filled with stunning color photographs, including unique aerial photos and groundbreaking images revealing locations and animal behavior never seen before.

There, Molly and her relatives Gracie and Daisy were forbidden to speak their native language, forced to abandon their heritage, and taught to be culturally white. After regular stays in solitary confinement, the three girls planned and executed a daring escape from the grim camp.
