Earth Repair
Author: Marcus Hall
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 9780813923413
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Just as the restoration of Michelangelo’s Last Judgment sparked enormous controversy in the art world, so are environmental restorationists intensely divided when it comes to finding ways to rehabilitate damaged ecosystems. Although environmental restoration is quickly becoming a widespread pursuit, debate over the methods and goals of this endeavor often halts progress. The same question confronts artistic and environmental restorationists: Which systems need restoring, and to what states should they be restored? In Earth Repair: A Transatlantic History of Environmental Restoration, Marcus Hall explores the answer to this question while offering an alternative to the usual narrative of humans disrupting and spoiling the earth. Hall’s purpose is not to deny that humans have done lasting damage but to show that those who believed in restoration did not always agree on what they wanted to restore, or how, or to what form. With guidance from the pioneer conservationist George Perkins Marsh, the reader travels between the United States and Italy to see that restoration has taken many forms over the past two hundred years, from maintaining and repairing, to gardening and naturalizing. By contrasting land management in these two countries and elsewhere, Earth Repair clarifies different meanings of restoration, shows how such meanings have changed through time and place, and suggests how restorationists can apply these insights to their own practices.

Song of Earth
Author: S. R. Osborn
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595453872
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
In the poetry of Song of Earth, eternal, transcendental Beauty manifests on the ephemeral terrestrial scene as an enchanting flower, a breathtaking seascape, the frenetic spin of new love, and the intelligent search for ultimate Truth in the union of soul and Spirit: "Taking a slowly turn, the four eyes of two lovers met, true to two heart's promise, with a billion billion years hence memory, sense fled sensibility, and she quaked, as electric current melted the moments of fluid time, and displaced the atoms of aquatic space: two were who? Alleviated from what separates, thrown into-for instance sake-a monopole subnuclear state, and grassfires sped from incendiary slates, spelling from Quidalba's eyes-with unseen, unnoticed, undefined tears of grace: for what cries in salt sea water has one ocean for proof to wet. And in the instantary oneness, Quidalba lost her self; feeling the thoughts of Tandtlor, inspecting the contents of his heart, Tandtlor and Quidalba were married by recognition of what reflected in this mirror-eternal verity of Self seeing same." -from the poem, Tandtlor and Quidalba: Love Affair and the Monopole

Keller's Turn
Author: Donovan Webster
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499084110
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Keller's Turn: a Novel concerns the life of Frank Keller, biotech billionaire, husband, avid sailor, runner, and bow hunter who, at fifty-three, sees his life come to bits in the days preceding Christmas. On a Friday night, the first night of the long holiday weekend, his wife of three decades decides to leave him (decamping for their Aspen house for the holidays), and, at a loss, Keller tries to reconstruct the remains his life through lonely action. In doing so, he telephones his ranch manager in Texas to check in and discovers that their Alpha bison, the largest male in the herd, is going crazy, destroying other livestock and wreaking havoc on the ranch. The manager says the aging (and expensive) bison may have to be put down in the interest of the other livestock and the property, and Keller nominates himself for the job, using his bow and arrow and hunting the bison on horseback across the ranch. It does not end well for the bison, other innocent people, and Keller himself. Taut, visual, and ultimately visceral, it's a good read.
