The Importance of Understanding Mr. Charles Taylor's Concept of
The purpose of this essay, is to reveal the importance of understanding Mr. Charles Taylor's concept of "genuine respect" in contemporary society. Before we can begin to understand the importance of this concept, we first must realize, that all individuals and cultures, in relationship to one another, are very different and distinct from one another. To surrender oneself to this first idea, that all human individuals and cultural groups are not the same, is the first step in understanding the importance of this concept of "genuine respect". It is only after we are convinced, that all human beings and cultures have different idea's of "the good", that are not inferior to one another in status, that we can then proceed, to understand Mr. Charles Taylor's concept of recognizing other human beings and cultures with a "genuine respect". Now that we are convinced of this first idea, we can now go on to conceptualize the definition Mr. Charles Taylor gives to the word "respect". To Mr. Charles Taylor, there are two types of "respect".

American Catholics in the Protestant Imagination
Michael P. Carroll argues that the academic study of religion in the United States continues to be shaped by a "Protestant imagination" that has warped our perception of the American religious experience and its written history and analysis. In this provocative study, Carroll explores a number of historiographical puzzles that emerge from the American Catholic story as it has been understood through the Protestant tradition. Reexamining the experience of Catholicism among Irish immigrants, Italian Americans, Acadians and Cajuns, and Hispanics, Carroll debunks the myths that have informed much of this history. Shedding new light on lived religion in America, Carroll moves an entire academic field in new, exciting directions and challenges his fellow scholars to open their minds and eyes to develop fresh interpretations of American religious history.

Landscape Boundaries
The emergence of landscape ecology during the 1980s represents an impor tant maturation of ecological theory. Once enamored with the conceptual beauty of well-balanced, homogeneous ecosystems, ecologists now assert that much of the essence of ecological systems lies in their lumpiness. Patches with differing properties and behaviors lie strewn across the land scape, products of the complex interactions of climate, disturbance, and biotic processes. It is the collective behavior of this patchwork of eco systems that drives pattern and process of the landscape. is not an end point This realization of the importance of patch dynamics in itself, however. Rather, it is a passage to a new conceptu...

Coral Reefs of the Indian Ocean
Coral reefs are among Earth's most diverse, productive, and beautiful ecosystems, but until recently, their ecology and the means to manage them have been poorly understood and documented. In response to the inadequate information base for coral reefs, this book reviews the ecological and conservation status of coral reefs of the Western Indian Ocean, bringing together presentations of the region's leading scientists and managers working on coral reefs. Coral Reefs of the Indian Ocean: Their Ecology and Conservation starts with a general overview of the biogeography of the region and a historical account of attempts to conserve this ecosystem. It goes on to describe the state of the reefs in each of the countries with coral reefs, and it concludes with a series of management case studies. The book also summarizes most of the existing ecological information on reefs in this region and efforts at management, making it useful for students, teachers, and investigators interested in tropical or marine ecology, conservation biology and management, and environmental sciences.
