Reading And Writing With Samsung E-Readers
E-readers enhance the reading experience with their design and form, ease of use, and advanced features. With the new Samsung e-readers, supported onscreen note-taking with an enabled stylus is the newest element to entice users. Until the introduction of these multi-faceted Samsung devices, reading has never been as effortless and writing was never in such perfect form.
With the recent announcement about their E6 and E101 readers, Samsung has made an impressive entrance into the e-reader market. Samsung has also confirmed their future plans for the release of two additional e-readers – a 5-inch model and the 6-inch model with a QWERTY keyboard for easier emailing. All four models will have handwriting support and a MP3 player as well as 2GB of flash memory and up to 24 hours battery life.
These readers have the added convenience of built-in dictionaries. If users click on a word with the stylus, its definition will pop up on the screen. The Samsung e-readers use Bluetooth 2.0 for sharing content, are DLNA-enabled, and can share content with other DLNA devices in a household.
Users will reap the benefits from Samsung’s partnership with Google Books. The e-readers incorporate Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and allow users to download (wirelessly) books and newspapers. Users can locate content and display PDF, plain text, or ePub files. Sony Reader was the first e-reader with direct access to Google libraries. As it is described in the article “E-Readers and their Smaller Brothers and Sisters“, Sony PRS users can upload directories of public domain books, offering them virtually free libraries, and also have access to the Google e-books libraries (Digital Book Readers). The Sony PRS now has a lot of titles to offer which makes its lower price look very attractive, and Google e-books has corrected its one-time weakness in technical books.
Samsung’s introductory models, E6 and E101, (6″ and 10″ screens respectively), point to the company’s innovative spirit. The smaller, more portable E6 has a slide-part (secret controls behind the screen) which reveals a trackpad for easy navigation. The E101 has calligraphy and editing functions such as ‘cut, copy, and paste’ choices. Both models feature Samsung’s Text-to-Speech engine which allows text to be read aloud to a user.
Combined with a virtual eraser, the built-in electromagnetic resonance (EMR) stylus pen transforms a Samsung e-reader into an e-reader/electronic notebook. The special stylus pens (in varied thickness) allow for handwriting. This feature makes the Samsung e-reader suitable for quick notes or leisurely sketching. Users can note their reading selections, create their to-do lists, or update their calendars – directly on the screen.
The Samsung e-readers provide a more natural reading experience. Reflecting light in a more natural manner, these readers are closer to the appearance of the printed page. The Samsung e-readers are not back-lit like other readers and they consume less power. Depending on the daily use, four hours of charging can prepare the battery for up to two weeks of use.
The first two Samsung e-readers will range in price from $399 (6″) to $699 (10″). The design of the E101 is not just a copy of the E6 design. Both devices will sport an unique look. The two additional models (5″ and 6″) will be released at a later date.
The 5-inch reader will not have the slide-out feature – possibly to reduce the purchase price. The low-end device doesn’t have Wi-Fi but the later 6-inch reader will display a Kindle-style integrated keyboard. With the handwriting option, however, the four Samsung e-readers will change forever the art of reading and writing.

The Deacon Reader $22.95 “The essays collected in this book, which is sure to be at the foundation of every deacon’s library, aim to give the reader an overview of the theological and pastoral nature of the diaconate and thus to clarify the fundamental identity of the deacon, for those who are discerning such a call as aspirants and those who are already candidates for the office. Editor and contributor James Keating divides the book into three sections: historical foundations, pastoral foundations, and sociological foundations for the diaconate, i.e., the core elements of the diaconal identity. Some of the subjects covered are the history of the diaconate, the morality of the deacon, the deacon and work, and the deacon’s wife. The most significant deacon theologians contribute to this text as well as priest experts on the diaconate. It is a complete systematic academic text for the first years of formation of deacons according to the New Roman National Directory (2005). As such, it is indispensable. This is the first text ever that specifies the theological formation of the deacon student over a range of themes and specialties. There is nothing like it in print.” |

The Erik Erikson Reader $27.95 “Erik H. Erikson is recognized as one of the world’s leading figures in the field of psychoanalysis and human development. His ideas about the stages of development, the sources of identity, and the interdependence of individual growth and historical change revolutionized our understanding of the nature and course of psychological growth. Erikson, whose work first described the now familiar concepts of “identity crisis” and “life cycle,” provided an unprecedented framework for considering the individual psyche within society and culture. Unveiling a dynamic process of psychological development, he emphasized the tendency toward growth and the integration of multiple influences-the biological, social, psychological, cultural, and historical. With writings from Erikson’s entire career, including major work from Childhood and Society, Insight and Responsibility, Young Man Luther, and Gandhi’s Truth, this invaluable reader charts the influence of Erikson’s thinking in the areas of child psychology, development through the lifespan, leadership, and moral growth.” |

Futures from Nature $4.99 Here are 100 very short stories on the subject of the future and what it might be like. The authors include scientists, journalists, and many of the most famous SF writers in the world.

Meditation on the Nature of Mind $11.69 A correct understanding of the mind’s nature not only illuminates the many treatises on Buddhist philosophy it is the key to success in meditation and to the profound insights at the heart of the Buddha’s path. The text at the center of this book the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel of the Oral Tradition by Khöntön Peljor Lhündrub (1561–1637) manages to combine both theory and practical instructions for meditating on the nature of mind in a manner that is easily accessible. Especially interesting is its nonsectarian approach with liberal citations from across the Tibetan Buddhist spectrum. His Holinesss the Dalai Lama’s broad-ranging overview of this important text in the first part of this book insightfully distills some of the most central themes of Buddhism: why the mind is so essential to the tradition how science and Buddhism can benefit from mutual interaction what distinguishes subtle and grosser levels of consciousness how the different schools of Tibetan Buddhism elaborate such a distinction and how all of these schools have a common source in the scholarly tradition of Nalanda Monastery the greatest Buddhist university of ancient India. It is a profound and erudite teaching both in scope and detail and brings the reader closer to a fresh and direct experience of the all-important topic. As little has been written in Western languages about Khöntön Rinpoché this volume also includes a short biography of this interesting figure who was a guru to the Great Fifth Dalai Lama. |

The Scottish Enlightenment Reader $10.69 Edited and Introduced by Alexander Broadie. The Scottish Enlightenment is one of the great achievements of European culture. In philosophy, law, economics, politics, linguistics and the physical sciences, Scots were key players in changing the way the world was viewed. And this explosion of activity still reverberates. It was the age of David Hume, Thomas Reid and Adam Smith, of Adam Ferguson, James Hutton and Sir John Sinclair. In his authoritative introduction, Alexander Broadie emphasises not only the diversity of intellectual discussion taking place in this small country located on the outer edge of Europe, but also the European dimension of this Scottish movement. After the general introduction, the anthology is arranged thematically – Human Nature, Ethics, Aesthetics, Religion, Economics, Social Theory and Politics, Law, Historiography, Language and Science. These sections gather together well-known and lesser-known writings of the time. Much of the material has not been reprinted since the 18th century. Those with an interest in the Scottish cultural tradition will find many things to hold their attention in this unique book. ‘Provides generous extracts from key works and masterly brief introductions.’ Economist ‘A major contribution to our literature and intellectual resources and I do not think it could be better done . . . For many people this book will become a companion for years or even a lifetime.’ Scotsman |

Partnering With Nature: The Wild Path To Reconnecting With The Earth $5.89 In today’s world, it’s often too easy to forget about the world outside the window. People struggle daily with stressful jobs, trapped under fluorescent lighting, staring at glowing screens, or surrounded by concrete when they could be outdoors, acknowledging the gifts of natural world. In the face of its absence, we are finally beginning to understand that our connection with nature-plants, trees, animals, and the energy of the earth itself-is more than a luxury; it is a necessary and vital part of our existence. In Partnering with Nature , Catriona MacGregor weaves together historical, spiritual, and scientific examples to emphasize the importance of creating a vital relationship with our natural surroundings. Our separation from nature leads to several devastating effects, whether through stress, feeling a lack of purpose, or the heedless destruction of our environment. Through her exploration of the energies that link humans, animals, and the natural world, she shows how we can learn from nature as we develop our spirituality and ourselves. Through diverse approaches, Catriona offers the reader a solid understanding of why a connection with the Earth is vital to our existence, and how a revival of that connection opens doors to a myriad of benefits in our environment and in our health, our daily lives, and our happiness. |

Organized into four sections-”Natural Theology and Atheology,” “Reformed Epistemology,” “Divine Nature and Attributes,” and “Christian Philosophy”-these thirteen essays and book excerpts reflect the areas of thought in which Plantinga has been most influential. The volume also includes an Afterword by Plantinga and instructions for accessing his work on the World Wide Web.” |

A Down to Earth God: Devotionals for the Nature Lover $12.95 “”A Down to Earth God: Devotionals for the Nature Lover” is an inspirational non-fiction collection of earthy country stories illustrating scripture. Garry Genser humorously reveals his own weaknesses, inviting readers to more fully explore their own souls. In this process, simple scriptural truths come to life. Genser uses common daily experiences to capture vivid spiritual insights to help readers see God’s hand in their lives and to inspire them to a greater commitment to God’s will. A section of scripture follows each story, rather than preceding it, which invites dialogue. The scripture also reveals the moral of the stories with little exposition, so as not to turn the reader off by religiosity. The book would work well for family and small group devotionals. I>A Down to Earth God” celebrates an amazing God who seeks out each one of us through the daily circumstances of our lives.” |

Two Invisible Kingdoms: The Supernatural Nature of Everyday Life $15.99 “Two Invisible Kingdoms takes the reader to the edge of the impossible, riveting on the slippery ledge of the visible and the unseen reality of the world within a world. Whether we realize it or not, we are all influenced, moment by moment. There is an invisible voice, hand, or thought that did not originate in our own mind. Two Invisible Kingdoms will give you a glimpse into the unseen world, and teach you to recognize The Supernatural Nature of Everyday Life. Join author Corrie Joubert as he shares his spiritual journey that takes him from practicing research science in South Africa to studying and sharing Gods word in America to church planting in Africa. You will be amazed at how one very ordinary person can experience extraordinary supernatural influences and gain insight into the Two Invisible Kingdoms.” |

The Nature of Space and Time: (New in Paper) $10.49 Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein’s general theory of relativity the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics be united in a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? On this issue two of the world’s most famous physicists–Stephen Hawking ( A Brief History of Time ) and Roger Penrose ( The Emperor’s New Mind and Shadows of the Mind )–disagree. Here they explain their positions in a work based on six lectures with a final debate all originally presented at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge. How could quantum gravity a theory that could explain the earlier moments of the big bang and the physics of the enigmatic objects known as black holes be constructed? Why does our patch of the universe look just as Einstein predicted with no hint of quantum effects in sight? What strange quantum processes can cause black holes to evaporate and what happens to all the information that they swallow? Why does time go forward not backward? In this book the two opponents touch on all these questions. Penrose like Einstein refuses to believe that quantum mechanics is a final theory. Hawking thinks otherwise and argues that general relativity simply cannot account for how the universe began. Only a quantum theory of gravity coupled with the no-boundary hypothesis can ever hope to explain adequately what little we can observe about our universe. Penrose playing the realist to Hawking’s positivist thinks that the universe is unbounded and will expand forever. The universe can be understood he argues in terms of the geometry of light cones the compression and distortion of spacetime and by the use of twistor theory. With the final debate the reader will come to realize how much Hawking and Penrose diverge in their opinions of the ultimate quest to combine quantum mechanics and relativity and how differently they have tried to comprehend the incomprehensible. In a new afterword the authors outline how recent developments have caused their positions to further diverge on a number of key issues including the spatial geometry of the universe inflationary versus cyclic theories of the cosmos and the black-hole information-loss paradox. Though much progress has been made Hawking and Penrose stress that physicists still have much farther to go in their quest for a quantum theory of gravity. |

1. The construction of motion graphics scores. 2. Seven Motion Graphics Scores: ”Above Snakes”, ”Crooked”, ”The Way Through Is Behind Us”, ”Three Rooms”, ”Elemental Canon”, ”OneZero”, and ”On”. $49.99 Developments in the early twentieth century relating to musical composition and performance, such as the introduction of extended vocal and instrumental techniques, the invention of electronic instruments and recording technologies, and the expanded use of alternative methods of combining instruments, all forced composers into new modes of organizing and communicating musical material. A few composers, as they attempted to manage an ever-broadening aural palette, developed a number of diverse notational strategies to control these new materials. Meanwhile, painter Wassily Kandinsky began using musical metaphors to describe the dynamic potential within the structure of and relationships between non-representational forms on the canvas. John Whitney, inspired both by Kandinsky’s work and by that of early abstract filmmakers, pioneered the use of computer motion graphics to produce images that reflect musical harmonic motion.;Because my scores are built and exist in a motion graphics environment for the purpose of animating musical notation, both notational and movement issues come into play within this single art form. The elasticity of the motion graphics score makes it a powerful tool that can be used to solve some of the notational difficulties inherent in dealing with sounds of a complex and/or morphological nature. It can also provide alternative solutions to the notational challenges faced by composer in the middle of century, especially, the control of musical materials of an indeterminate nature, interaction with the score by the performer, and the coordination of independently moving musical events. Several motion graphics scores are presented here: Above Snakes, Crooked, The Way Through is Behind Us, Three Rooms, Elemental Canon, OneZero, and On. If the reader wishes to view these scores, they are located on a CD entitled The Motion Graphics Scores of Severin Behnen 2006-2008, stored in the Music Library, Schoenberg Hall, on the campus of the University of |

1543 and All That: Image and Word, Change and Continuity in the Proto-Scientific Revolution $236 The focus of this volume, the Proto-Scientific Revolution, is that distinctive period, essentially High Renaissance in character, which paved the way for the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. The epicentre of this important period is 1543, the annus mirabilis which saw the publication, amongst other seminal works, of Copernicus’ On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, and Vesalius’ magnificently illustrated On the Fabric of the Human Body. A substantial literature exists on the Copernican Revolution, but the present original collection of papers, accessible to the non-specialist reader, breaks new ground, not only in bringing the works of Copernicus and Vesalius together, but by placing them within the context of the Proto-Scientific Revolution as a whole, the Renaissance of the arts, and the Reformation. In addition, the book, while noting discontinuities, pin-points linkages between the Proto-Scientific Revolution and the periods preceding and following it. As the volume focuses on an age which experienced the impact of both linear perspective and movable type printing, emphasis is placed upon the changing nature and roles of both image and word. |

1866: The Critical Year Revisited $54.35 Originally published in 1979 by the Southern Illinois University Press, this volume is a narrative and interpretive account of the struggle between President Andrew Johnson and Congress over the nature of the Constitution and the Union, the meaning of Black freedom, and reconstruction policy during a crucial time in the early post-Civil War era. Written for both the specialist and the general reader in Reconstruction history, Riddleberger’’s clear narrative of national politics in 1866 and his synthesis and criticism of Beale’’s work and the works of such revisionist historians as Eric McKitrick, Lawanda and John Cox, W.R. Brock, and Stanley Coben make this book a solid contribution to the current reappraisal of the presidency of Andrew Johnson and the events of that critical year. |

31 Distinctive Qualities For Becoming Rich $3.99 31 Distinctive Qualities For Becoming Richby Sanjeev KumarMoney, money, money, sweeter than honey… Apna sapna, money money…human imagination knows no bounds when it comes to the subject of money.But then money is not everything, and one needs to have the right perspective to deal with the issue.This book helps you to precisely do that.The book explains the meaning of attitude in general, and how to have a positive attitude towards life to enjoy earning money.It also explains the concept of power of money, and how this power can help us to fulfil our demands in life.We all try our best to earn money but whether we are satisfied or not depends upon the way we lead our life.In fact, many people with lot of money, are not satisfied with their lives.Then, there are some who don`t have money, and they don`t even try to earn as they have lost all confidence.And finally there are some who are earning money, and are also satisfied with what they have.In the author`s point of view, one must try to emulate the last category of people.And for this, it is very important for one to understand that simply earning money is an altogether diferent concept from `earning money with satisfaction`.This book also includes 20 stories of different people who solved their problems by knowing themselves and their circumstances to get success and money along with satisfaction.However, what follows is not that one should blindly follow one of these examples, but try to analyse one`s own capabilities and work towards what suits one`s nature and circumstances.Each story has a message for the reader, by which he can improve his attitude towards life and lead a happier and successful life.For an author bio and photo, reviews and a reading sample, visit www.pustakmahal.comFor addition information on publishing your books on iBook,iPhone And |

36 Yalta Boulevard $8.08 Praise for 36 Yalta Boulevard and Olen Steinhauer”A brainy thriller motored by stylishness and brevity. Steinhauer evokes the baroque, bureaucratic nature of the Ministry without choking his readers on it, and he can render it humorous without being satirical.

3D Computer Graphics $76 This book provides students with a knowledge of complex and emerging topics in the field of Computer Graphics, including advances in rendering and new material on animation. It will enable the reader to master the fundamentals of 3D computer graphics as well as acting as a complete resource for anyone interested in 3D modelling. It provides detailed coverage of both realistic and non-realistic images.This is the third edition of a book which deals with the processes involved in converting a mathematical or geometric description of an object into a visualisation that simulates the appearance of a real object. Traditionally computer graphics has created pictures by starting with a very detailed geometric description, subjecting this to a series of transformations that orient a viewer and objects in 3D space, then imitating reality by making the objects look solid and real – a process known as rendering. Nowadays this is proving insufficient for the new demands of moving computer imagery and virtual reality. Much research is being carried out into how to model complex objects, where the nature and shape of the objects changes dynamically and into capturing the richness of the world without having to model every detail explicitly. This text explores and relates thee resulting in diverse synthesis and modelling methods. |

666, the Mark of America – Seat of the Beast: The Apostle John’s New Testament Revelation Unfolded $23.99 Many today unwarrantedly fear the infamous number “666″. Novels, movies, and religious leaders have emphasized the often fearful superstitions related to this number originally mentioned in the Bible’s book of Revelation. However, readers of the book will learn there is absolutely no need to fear it. This extraordinary book, 666 The Mark of America-Seat of the Beast exposes the stunning truth about America and its connection with 666, which represents nothing more or less than MONEY. (A complete explanation can be found at 666america.com) Within the pages, the American Dream of prosperity and freedom from labor is unmasked as the “beast” designed to serve the elite and fulfill their selfish desires. While very few are lavishing in riches, the majority of people (both within and outside of the United States) are suffocating in stress, inequality, poverty, pollution, and violence. Though the last section of the book clarifies in detail the entire book of Revelation, the first nine sections give no religious connotations besides the title of each section and a brief summary at the end of each. One does not need to be Christian or even believe in “God” in order to understand and appreciate the simple reality explained within its pages. Read this book and be freed not only from the darkness and legends and myths of Hollywood, but also from the ignorance of organized religion. Until now, no religious or secular scholar has ever been able to decipher what 666 and ALL the other riddles in Revelation represent. This book will go down in history as one of the most prolific and revealing explanations of reality ever given to humankind-the truth is revealed in astonishing clarity. Uponcompletion, the reader of 666 Mark of America will understand every chapter and verse of Revelation, and they will also have a firm grasp of the truth about America, human nature, and the reality of the world in which we live. Most importantly, this book holds the answer to ending |

7 Paths to God $21.07 In this book, Joan Borysenko tells you how a mystical moment can strike at any time when you are fully present in the moment: when looking at a beautiful full moon, a sunset, walking in nature, or looking into the eyes of a child. When you are fully present in the moment, you will be filled with a sense of awe, and beauty, and feel fully connected with the universe. An excerpt from the book: Just as many rivers lead to the sea, there are many paths to God. Each of the seven primary energy centers of the human body, the chakras, corresponds to a specific path. In this book, those paths are outlined, complete with spiritual exercises, giving the reader a sense of the most fruitful direction for their journey. You will learn that you don’t have to go to Nepal or go climb a mountain to have a mystical moment, but in learning how to be fully present in your everyday life, you will find that mystical moments can be found in the mundane, the ordinary, or also in the extraordinary. |

A Bay Breeze: A Novel Exploring the Concepts of Faith and Free Will $13.5 Everyday billions of people wake up thinking that a god is watching over them as they freely make choices in their lives. Dr. Alan Kosciol, noted neurobiologist, once believed that to be true. But years of research have turned his notion of gods, faith and free will upside down. In this novel, Dr. Kosciol embarks on a visiting lecture series where he debates the concepts of spirituality and free choice. Returning to his alma mater, Alan finds himself face to face with Robert, his deeply religious brother, and Lori, a lost, but not forgotten, love. All three are united through a series of events that centers on a bioterrorist action that has potentially devastating consequences. However, an underlying theme revolving around the age-old debate of nature versus nurture, and of free will versus predestination, seeps into every page.A Bay Breeze is not simply another novel about human behavior. From the first page, the reader will begin to question not only the characters’ actions, but their own beliefs about gods, good and evil, and predestination. One cannot leave this experience without examining their own foundational beliefs in a god…. and wondering if they really have a free will to choose, or are they simply slaves to their own biochemistry. |

A Bold Experiment $6.95 The story is set in Boston during the late 1970’s and told by one observer, who remains detached and creates vivid scenes for the reader as the story unfolds. This young man is a Viet Nam veteran and recent college graduate from a Midwestern University, who gets his first job as a special assistant to the main character, a company CEO. He quickly learns that his boss has a shady past that could include government espionage. He is the only person in the book who is not corrupted by the extreme desire to accumulate wealth and live the “good life”.Most of the other primary characters have confused and fleeting values and their own unique form of moral decay. One of the most flamboyant members of the CEO’s executive team consistently demonstrates selfish and arrogant behavior and flaunts the relationship with his mistress to coworkers and friends. His wife, who was raised as a “southern bell”, comes from old money and tries to create a warm, exciting image but the readers slowly learn that she is as self centered as her husband and much colder. Her best friend creates a smoke screen of apparent virtue to cover her cowardice and dishonesty to support the denial of her true amoral nature.The Boston “social scene” puts the main character on a pedestal which further magnifies the reality that he is a tragic hero who has worked feverishly to reach the top tier of society that remains beyond his reach. The primary symbols of wealth and power are ostentatious, richly furnished and massive “high rise” homes that overlook the city and Boston Harbor. The narrator is pulled into the role of “match maker” for his boss and his team member’s wife. They mutually rekindle a relationship that they believed had ended several years earlier. Our hero’s sordid past crashes into the trail of deceit that they create, causing the two deaths to end the story. |

A Book About Words $18.56 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.Excerpt from book:Degeneracy Of Words 03CHAPTER IV. DEGENERACY OP WOKDS. One point to be observed in the nature and history of words is their tendency to contract in form and degenerate in meaning. A word which, in the beginning of its career, has generally a favourable, or at any rate a not disparaging, meaning, becomes, as it grows older, weaker in effect and more contracted in form and signification, and, in most cases, falls into an unfavourable sense. It does not improve or extend, but contracts and deteriorates in meaning. Archbishop Trench uses this fact as an argument to prove the perversity and evil tendencies of mankind; and it must be admitted to have considerable force. Take the two verbs, to ‘ resent’ and to ‘ retaliate.’ The first of these means, etymologically, ‘ to feel back,’ or ‘feel in return.’ Of course, one may feel kindly or unkindly, according to circumstances ; but we now never use this word in afavourable sense. We are never said to ‘ textit{resent’ kindness or affection; but only injury, slander, ill deeds, and c. Again, the derivation of ‘ retaliate ‘ is from the Latin ‘ re ‘ (back) and ‘ talis ‘ (such) ; and it would naturally signify, ‘ to give back such’ (as we have received). But we now retaliate offences or indignities, and never favours or benefits. These words were, however, once used in a much more extended sense. Dr. South, a celebrated preacher of Charles textit{II.’a time, in one of his sermons has the expression,’ resenting God’s favours,’ which, according to the present restricted meaning of the word, would seem to a modern reader positively blasphemous. But in the seventeenth century the word ‘ resent’ implied good as well as bad feeling; gratitude for benefits received as well as anger for injury done.

A Clearing of the Way $26.5 In A Clearing of the Way, John Montfort Gist takes the reader on a strange journey into the realm of mythology, religion and realism. Jacob Izarra, of Basque heritage, has lost his way in America. His journey, at times violent, at other times loving, forces him to define for himself what it is to be an American. At heart, A Clearing of the Way, is a love story whose fruits are prophetic, terrifying and hopeful at the same time. Nature herself is the protagonist in the story, a character who demands, like the God of the Old Testament, to be heard. Failure to listen brings with it the promise of fiery wrath. |

A Common Destiny: A Photographic Journey Through a Changing World $29.99 An artful photographic voyage documenting the impact of modern industry and consumerism on our planet, A Common Destiny presents a hauntingly beautiful vision of a world perched on the edge of an abyss. Juxtaposing images of pristine wilderness with photos of mines, abandoned nuclear reactors, large industrial farms, and spaces that exemplify artificiality and our increasing distance from nature—such as indoor ski slopes in Dubai, large-scale suburban housing development sites, and lavish casinos—Cédric Delsaux creates a powerful meditation on our ruthless hunger for mass production and energy.Industries rarely accessible to the public are shown here in 135 oversized, full-color plates-petroleum fields, quarries, steel mills, meat-packing plants, poultry farms, enormous greenhouses, and assembly lines. Of equal interest are dozens of images that bear witness to today’s dizzying pace of construction throughout the world, revealing how our attempt to accommodate an ever-growing population often overlooks the needs of its least fortunate. Glamorous skyscrapers abut the poorest slums, closely placed residential towers block out natural light, and thoughtless sprawl ensures that residents of large cities spend their lives in a maze of concrete.Each striking, thought-provoking photograph is a work of art that allows us at once to marvel at our own industriousness and be shocked at its ramifications; we are asphyxiating the planet with our own inventions. Guided by thought-provoking essays from prominent environmental writers and activists including best-selling author Bill McKibben, renowned scientist James Lovelock, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathaï, the volume takes the reader on a journey from the least populous places on earth to the most densely inhabited, and urges us to reflect on our own habits and to resolve to take a more conscientious, active role in preserving natural resources. |
