Urgency in the Anthropocene
A proposal to reframe the Anthropocene as an age of actual and emerging coexistence with earth system variability, encompassing both human dignity and environmental sustainability. Is this the Anthropocene, the age in which humans have become a geological force, leaving indelible signs of their activities on the earth? The narrative of the Anthropocene so far is characterized by extremes, emergencies, and exceptions—a tale of apocalypse by our own hands. The sense of ongoing crisis emboldens policy and governance responses that challenge established systems of sovereignty and law. The once unacceptable—geoengineering technology, for example, or authoritarian decision making—are now ant...
Applied Atmospheric Dynamics
The weather can be a cause of disruption, despair and even danger everywhere around the world at one time or another. Even when benign it is a source of constant fascination. Applied Atmospheric Dynamics connects this interest with the theoretical underpinnings of fluid dynamics; linking real physical events as diverse as Hurricane Katrina and the strong katabatic winds of Antarctica, with quantitative conceptual models of atmospheric behaviour. Assuming only basic calculus the book provides a physical basis for understanding atmospheric motions around the globe as well as detailing the advances that have led to a greater understanding of weather and climate. The accompanying supplementary C...
Adaptive Governance and Climate Change
As greenhouse gas emissions and temperatures at the poles continue to rise, so do damages from extreme weather events affecting countless lives. Meanwhile, ambitious international efforts to cut emissions (Kyoto, Copenhagen) have proved to be politically ineffective or infeasible. There is hope, however, in adaptive governance—an approach that has succeeded in some local communities and can be undertaken by others around the globe. This book provides a political and historical analysis of climate change policy; shows how adaptive governance has worked on the ground in Barrow, Alaska, and other local communities; and makes the case for adaptive governance as a complementary approach in the climate change regime.

What's Wrong with Democracy?
"This is unlike any recent work I know of. It offers a challenging, often refreshing, and what will certainly be a controversial assessment of classical Athenian democracy and its significance to modern America. Samons is willing to tread where few other classicists are willing to go in print. He reminds readers that the Athenian democracy offers just as many negative lessons as positive ones, and topics like the popular vote, the dangers of state payments to individual citizens, the naturally acquisitive foreign policy of democratic governments, and the place of religion in democracy all come up for discussion and criticism. Samons has written an original and very provocative book."—James...
Learning to Give in a Getting World

We seek to get cracking to get a move on and hurry to our destinations. Sometimes, we struggle just to get through the day. Our lives are dominated by acts of getting.Perhaps the time has come to get real and step outside of our constant desire to get more worldly stuff of no lasting significance and learn to seek after the things of eternal value.This book will seek to reverse our ways of thinking that have been twisted and redefined as a result of living in our getting world. Only when we abandon our all-too-human desire to acquire and discover ways to obey the Lord through giving to Him can we truly experience all the blessings God has to offer.Let's get going!
The Wall & Beyond
Sometimes it feels you are hitting the wall. Reality differs from dreams. Someone has broken your heart. People seem indifferent. Suffering challenges the very idea of a loving God... You construct a protective "wall," imaginary or real; hoping it will keep out the world that seems so cruel. Depicting the many symbolic "walls" we build to separate ourselves from others, The Wall & Beyond shows that, in the end, love sustains us, beyond suffering, beyond beliefs.

When the danger starts to hit a little too close to home, she has two goals: find the elusive murderer and manage to live long enough to enjoy her happily ever after.
Drunk Dialing the Divine
How would you respond when a friend drunk-dials you to make a prayer request? What do you say when you are furious with God, but aren't willing to part with Him? How do you vent your frustrations to your Creator? When is it okay to be angry with God?Drunk Dialing the Divine is an attempt to capture a glimmer of the darker side of the emotional struggle of the deeply faithful. Though each poem begins in a negative space, they resist both the angry and the naively optimistic ending--instead finding a ray of hope in the maxim "Things are because God is."
