The Wizard's Illusion
Author: Katherine Abetz
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666736023
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
In a world of increasingly strident identity politics, a theological approach, claiming no more than the outworking of subjectivist sentiment, offers no remedy. What if a key factor in this predicament is a misrepresentation of the operation of metaphor? This acknowledged building-block of language looks set to become a mere component of the wearer’s spectacles. The consequences for theology, philosophy, literature, and even the sciences are yet to be charted. This book takes readers on a journey to the Land of Oz and asks whether our culture, while discarding past errors, can reconnect with the spiritual bonds that underpin language, truth in its various forms, and identity. Companions on the road are Dorothy and her friends, Sallie McFague and the Wizard, Paul Ricœur and C. S. Lewis, and others.

The Wizard and the Prophet
Author: Charles C. Mann
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307961702
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 641
Book Description
From the bestselling, award-winning author of 1491 and 1493—an incisive portrait of the two little-known twentieth-century scientists, Norman Borlaug and William Vogt, whose diametrically opposed views shaped our ideas about the environment, laying the groundwork for how people in the twenty-first century will choose to live in tomorrow's world. In forty years, Earth's population will reach ten billion. Can our world support that? What kind of world will it be? Those answering these questions generally fall into two deeply divided groups--Wizards and Prophets, as Charles Mann calls them in this balanced, authoritative, nonpolemical new book. The Prophets, he explains, follow William Vogt, a founding environmentalist who believed that in using more than our planet has to give, our prosperity will lead us to ruin. Cut back! was his mantra. Otherwise everyone will lose! The Wizards are the heirs of Norman Borlaug, whose research, in effect, wrangled the world in service to our species to produce modern high-yield crops that then saved millions from starvation. Innovate! was Borlaug's cry. Only in that way can everyone win! Mann delves into these diverging viewpoints to assess the four great challenges humanity faces--food, water, energy, climate change--grounding each in historical context and weighing the options for the future. With our civilization on the line, the author's insightful analysis is an essential addition to the urgent conversation about how our children will fare on an increasingly crowded Earth.

The Dual Veil
Author: Niamh Clune
Publisher: Niamh Clune
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Barry Brown’s mother wished for a different child. Red, unruly hair! A stammer! Non-stop fidgeting! A weird birthmark! To add to all her woes, the silly boy cherished a ridiculous desire to learn magic! She couldn't remember how Mr Foggitt, a most unusual teacher of the real arcane magick arts, encountered in a dusty old shop in London, had persuaded her to allow Barry to have lessons. Barry loved Mr Foggitt’s weaving of wondrous tales of Magius, the greatest of all wizards; and the man who became a bear; and the mysterious Dual Veil, a great wall of mist that separated the human world from Elfenndorr, the world inhabited by marvellous and scary things that humans thought were mere fantasies. Little did Barry know that when Gwyddon, Mr Foggitt’s flame-red owl, flew away, she had delivered a message to Teag-of-the-Laurel (elf lord of Tylwyth Teg, a district of Elfenndorr): The dragon stirs in the long-awaited boy, and the girl we have yet to find. Barry soon discovered that all those tales told by Mr Foggitt were true. Along with school-friend, Maybellyne, he was a child of prophecy destined to travel through the mists of the Dual Veil into Elfenndorr. Only he and Maybellyne could stop Dredammorg, the darkest of all wizards, from melting the glue that holds the worlds together.
