Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Scrooge and the Question of God's Existence is a modern day adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' which chronicles the overnight transformation of the world-famous atheist, Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge is on a crusade to rid the world of religion (bah-humbug ), and things could hardly be going better with the passage of a new hate-speech law designed in part to target the religious. But his fortunes soon change and he has a 'Dickens of an evening' filled with ghostly encounters during which he's given a chance to reconsider the meaning of life and his answer to the question of God's existence. But is there really anything the ghosts can say or do to bring about a change of heart from this brilliant, hard-core skeptic? -- from Steve Luhring, author of Scrooge and the Question of God's Existence. ******* While Charles Dickens' immortal story is a compelling tale of transformation, imagine what it would look like had Dickens been ambitious enough to have had Scrooge go on to tackle some of the greatest questions in life, such as: Does God exist? If so, why is there such evil and suffering in this world? Is there meaning and purpose in life? Is there an after-life? Is freedom worth fighting for, and what's at stake if we lose it? These pages are bold enough to do exactly that, and do it brilliantly. - from Dr. Paul Maier, author with over 5 million books in print including a Skeleton in God's Closet. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. Growing up in Canada, Madame Aline left there at the age of twenty-two and sailed for Europe. For the next four years she lived and worked in Copenhagen, Paris, St. Cergue, Switzerland and Rome. Next she took a position with the United Nations working in New York for a few years before transferring to the Republic of Panama. It was in Panama that she met and married a fisheries expert working for FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) of the UN. Their first assignment and home was in Djakarta, Indonesia. Their assignments were transferred about every two years thus living in Palau, Kuwait, Oregon, the Marshall Islands and more. Madame Aline settled in California in 1987 with her two teenage children. I believe this book would benefit travelers or armchair travelers, young people searching to find their path in life, or, anyone emotionally struggling with life. -- Madame Aline REVIEWS: Some books make us laugh. Some make us cry. Others teach us or amuse us for a short while. But most books are soon forgotten. I Became a Vagabond Traveler will make you laugh and cry. It will teach and amuse you. But it is not a story that you will forget. The courage of this young girl will make you want to wind back the clock, be twenty-two again, and explore the whole wide world. The adventures of Madame Aline's memoir are things that great movies are made of. -- Becky White, retired Executive Editor of Shining Star and A New Day Magazine. I enjoyed this book so much from a private perspective. However, I was also thinking of it's benefit to those inflicted with mental illness and emotional problems. Madame Aline, in her journeys, took some risks to fulfill her dreams. She explored life as it came and created a stronger sense of herself to develop a deeper self identity. I believe that this book shows the heroism of an individual who has the courage to explore the unknown and really gain insight into what is possible. If a person steps out of the normal boundaries, life can take on more positive meanings and bring about hope. Madame Aline did so at a very young age. Thanks Madame for the encouragement and hope you demonstrated by taking the risk of exploring what is out there and the possibilities that can become reality by taking action on your desires. -- Phil W., retired Mental Health Supervisor Madame Aline, a continental vagabond, deserves a Master's degree for her vivid descriptions of people and places in Europe, New York, the Republic of Panama, Indonesia, Oregon, Kuwait, and the South Seas. She relates with clarity and alacrity, stunning stories of European adventures and tantalizing tales of the South Pacific. At times, she seems to find a measure of joy amid grossly deficient living conditions and lack of personal effects. The author keeps readers captivated and anxious to continue from each page to the next. -- Alana M. H., Clinical Laboratory Supervisor and Scientist. I really love it. In fact, I told my husband that he needs to read it. It's just a great read and it's hard to put down, even on the second or third read. It has a fast pace, which is a good sign, and you have to keep reading to see what happens next. All in all, it's perfect. -- Shirley H., retired CALPOLY State University 30-year English Professor.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. A sweeping new interpretation of the history of civilization and a transformative vision of how our species will thrive on an unpredictable Earth. The viruses keep coming, the climate is warming, and the Earth is rewilding. Our human family has no playbook to address the mayhem unfolding around us. If there is a change to reckon with, argues the renowned economic and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin, it's that we are beginning to realize that the human race never had dominion over the Earth and that nature is far more formidable than we thought, while our species seems much smaller and less significant in the bigger picture of life on Earth, undermining our long-cherished worldview. The Age of Progress, once considered sacrosanct, is on a deathwatch while a powerful new narrative, the Age of Resilience, is ascending. In The Age of Resilience, Rifkin takes us on a new journey beginning with how we reconceptualize time and navigate space. During the Age of Progress, efficiency was the gold standard for organizing time, locking our species into the quest to optimize the expropriation, commodification, and consumption of the Earth's bounty, at ever-greater speeds and in ever-shrinking time intervals, with the objective of increasing the opulence of human society, but at the expense of the depletion of nature. Space, observes Rifkin, became synonymous with passive natural resources, while a principal role of government and the economy was to manage nature as property. This long adhered to temporal-spatial orientation, writes Rifkin, has taken humanity to the commanding heights as the dominant species on Earth and to the ruin of the natural world. In the emerging era, says Rifkin, efficiency is giving way to adaptivity as the all-encompassing temporal value while space is perceived as animated, self-organizing, and fluid. A younger generation, in turn, is pivoting from growth to flourishing, finance capital to ecological capital, productivity to regenerativity, Gross Domestic Product to Quality of Life Indicators, hyper-consumption to eco-stewardship, globalization to glocalization, geopolitics to biosphere politics, nation-state sovereignty to bioregional governance, and representative democracy to citizen assemblies and distributed peerocracy. Future generations, suggests Rifkin, will likely experience existence less as objects and structures and more as patterns and processes and come to understand that each of us is literally an ecosystem made up of the microorganisms and elements that comprise the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. The autonomous self of the Age of Progress is giving way to the ecological self of the Age of Resilience. The now worn scientific method that underwrote the Age of Progress is also falling by the wayside, making room for a new approach to science called Complex Adaptive Systems modeling. Likewise, detached reason is losing cachet while empathy and biophilia become the norm. At a moment when the human family is deeply despairing of the future, Rifkin gives us a window into a promising new world and a radically different future that can bring us back into nature's fold, giving life a second chance to flourish on Earth.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The poems in Brenda Hillman's new collection, a companion volume to her recent Death Tratates, offer a dynamic vision of a universe founded on the tensions between light and dark, existence and non-existence, male and female, spirit and matter. Informed in part by Gnostic concepts of the separate soul in search of its divine origins (spirit held by matter). This dualistic vision is cast in contemporary terms and seeks resolution of these tensions through acceptance.…
