Saving the World
An illuminating history of the forgotten concept of climatic botany that underscores how vital forests are to our future. Saving the World tells the forgotten history of climatic botany, the idea that forests are essential for creating and recycling rain. Long before the specter of global warming, societies recognized that deforestation caused drastic climate shifts—as early as 1770, concerns over deforestation spurred legislation to combat human-induced climate change. Across the twentieth century, climatic botany experienced fluctuating fortunes, influenced by technological advancements and evolving meteorological theories. Remarkably, contemporary scientists are rediscovering the crucial role of forests in rainfall recycling, unaware of the long history of climatic botany. This enlightening book is essential reading for anyone passionate about conserving the world’s forests and preserving our climate for future generations.
The Gift
In every account of historical significance, there is what history has recorded, there is what research determines the reasons for that historical account to be valid, and there are those people who believe that there are inaccuracies which need to be clarified. Some of those people may then seek to re-write history as they see it, so that those "inaccuracies" might be removed and the historical account corrected. Unknown to most people though, is the back story, the account of what "really" happened. Lastly, for those not satisfied with these explanations of written history, there is one other: There is the way we wish a historical event had happened, instead of the way it did. Here, we examine what history would have looked like if we had the ability to make that "wish" come true. Some people contend that we do not have the right to make changes to events of the past. Leave it alone, they would say. Take the results for what they are. The future should become what it did become. Fine, I say, but while the future may well be written in stone, must the past also? Do we have the right to ask this question: Does He, "The One" Who decrees it all, have the final and only say?
The Strange M. Proust
The strange M. Proust - the narrator, the author, and the embodiment of A la Recherche du Temps perdu - is now so canonical a writer that his very strangeness is easily overlooked. His book made of other books, his epic composed of extraordinary miniatures, his orderly structure where every law is subverted, his chronology where time can be undone and his geography where places can superimpose: in these, and many other ways, Proust continues to astonish even readers who have engaged with him for their entire careers. In this book, arising from the Princeton symposium of 2006, major critics come together to offer provocative readings of a work which is at the same time classical and unusual, French and foreign, familiar and strange. The book is dedicated to the memory of Malcolm Bowie (1943-2007), whose keynote address was one of his last major lectures. Other contributors include David Ellison, Anne Simon, Eugene Nicole, Joseph Brami, Raymonde Coudert, Christie McDonald, Michael Wood and Antoine Compagnon.
