Book Description
"A bright book and a brilliant book." - Robert Macfarlane. Peter MacAulay sits down to write his will. The process sets in motion a compulsive series of reflections: a history of his own lifetime and a subjective account of how key events in the post-war world filter through to his home, Stornoway. He reveals his passions for history, engines and fish, and witnesses changing times - and things that don’t change - in the Hebrides. The novel is driven by its idiosyncratic narrator, but with counterpoints from people he engages with - his father, mother, wife, daughter, friends. It’s all about stories, a litany of small histories witnessed during one very individual lifetime.

Lost Kingdom: Animal Death in the Anthropocene
Author: Wendy A. Wiseman
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1648898483
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
The authors in ‘Lost Kingdom’ grapple with both the catastrophe of mass animal extinction, in which the panoply of earthly life is in the accelerating process of disappearing, and with the mass death of industrial animal agriculture. Both forms of anthropogenic violence against animals cast the Anthropocene as an era of criminality and loss driven by boundless human exceptionalism, forcing a reckoning with and an urgent reimagining of human-animal relations. Without the sleights of hand that would lump “humanity” into a singular Anthropos of the Anthropocene, the authors recognize the differential nature of human impacts on animal life and the biosphere as a whole, while affirming the complexity of animal worlds and their profound imbrications in human cultures, societies, and industries. Confronting the reality of the Sixth Mass Extinction and mass animal death requires forms of narrativity that draw on traditional genres and disciplines, while signaling a radical break with modern temporalities and norms. Chapters in this volume reflect this challenge, while embodying the interdisciplinary nature of inquiry into non-human animality at the edge of the abyss—historiography, cultural anthropology, post-colonial studies, literary criticism, critical animal studies, ethics, religious studies, Anthropocene studies, and extinction studies entwine to illuminate what is arguably the greatest crisis, for all creatures, in the past 65 million years.

The Hindu book of Death, Rebirth and Liberation
Author: Srikanth s
Publisher: Srikanth s
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Nothing is so dear to man as his own soul. Death being inevitable for all who are born, no question could be greater than that of what happens to the soul after death. Life being very short here on earth and man’s desire to realize God or perfection remaining unfulfilled due to death, the question that inevitably follows is whether he will be reborn or not. And if so, when, how and where? Could he control his future and reduce his past karmas or indebtedness and live a life of peace here? The humble effort made here in this book is to answer these questions through philosophy and mythology, reasoning and religion, psychology and science. That the soul is eternal, that reincarnation is certain, that karma is one explanation for all varieties of ills and miseries, that devotion to God could reduce all karmas and stop the round of rebirth, and that the soul could liberate itself from the clutches of maya to merge in God, the Goal of our existence, is, in essence, the approach to this subject and the goal arrived at.
