Lives in Ecology LIVES IN ECOLOGY John Scales Avery September 12, 2019 INTRODUCTION1 We face an ecological crisis The Industrial Revolution marked the start of massive human use of fossil fuels. The stored energy from several hundred million years of plant growth began to be used at roughly a million times the rate at which it had been formed. The effect on human society was like that of a narcotic. There was a euphoric (and totally unsustainable) surge of growth of both population and industrial production. Meanwhile, the carbon released into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels began to duplicate the conditions which led to the 5 geologically-observed mass extinctions, during each of which more than half of all living species disappeared forever. Industrialism and the rapid development of science and technology have given some parts of the world a 200-year period of unbroken expansion and growth, but today this growth is headed for a collision with a wall-like barrier - limits set by the carrying capacity of the global environment and by the exhaustion of non-renewable resources. Encountering these limits is a new experience for the the industrialized countries. By contrast, pre-industrial societies have always experienced limits. The industrialized world must soon replace the economics of growth with equilibrium economics. Pre-industrial societies have already learned to live in equilibrium - in harmony with nature. It is assumed by many people in the industrialized North that if the de- veloping countries would only learn mass production, modern farming tech- niques and a modern lifestyle, all would be well. However, a sustainable global future may require a transfer of knowledge, techniques and attitudes in precisely the opposite direction - from pre-industrial societies to highly in- dustrialized ones. The reason for this is that the older societies have cultures that allow them to live in a sustainable way, in harmony with nature. This is exactly what the highly industrial North must learn to do. This book reviews the lives and thoughts of some of the women and men who have addressed the crucial problems of ecology and sustainability that we are currently facing. I have tried to let them speak to us in their own words. We need their voices today! 1This book makes use of articles and book chapters that I have previously written on subjects related to ecology, but a great deal of new material has been added. 1 Contents 1 INDIGENOUS PEOPLES 7 1.1 Learning to live in harmony . .7 1.2 Luther Standing Bear . 11 1.3 The earth is our mother . 19 1.4 Crimes against indigenous peoples . 24 2 SAINT FRANCIS 41 2.1 The life of Saint Francis . 41 2.2 Canticle of the Sun ............................... 43 2.3 Canonization . 44 2.4 A prayer of Saint Francis ........................... 44 3 HENRY DAVID THOREAU 55 3.1 Harmony with nature . 56 3.2 On the Duty of Civil Disobedience . 65 4 JOHN MUIR 67 4.1 The life of John Muir . 67 4.2 Places named after John Muir . 78 4.3 National parks in the United States . 78 5 JOHN TYNDALL AND SVANTE ARRHENIUS 91 5.1 John Tyndall . 91 5.2 Svante Arrhenius . 98 5.3 The Keeling curve . 101 6 RACHEL CARSON 107 6.1 From child author to marine biologist . 107 6.2 The Sea Around Us . 111 6.3 The Silent Spring . 113 6.4 Overuse of pesticides and the insect apocalypse . 117 3 4 CONTENTS 7 JANE GOODALL 121 7.1 Growing up with a love of animals . 121 7.2 Africa, Leakey and the search for early human behavior . 121 7.3 The Gombe research project . 123 7.4 Roots and Shoots, and the Jane Goodall Institute . 127 8 HUMAN ECOLOGY 133 8.1 Paul R.

Although formal political colonialism has almost entirely vanished, many of the assumptions of the colonial era persist and are strongly supported by the mainstream mass media. Like biodiversity, cultural diversity is an extremely valuable resource, and for similar reasons. A large genetic pool gives living organisms the flexibility needed to adapt to changes in the environment. Similarly, cultural diversity can give humans the flexibility needed to cope with change. In the changed world of today (changed by the invention of thermonuclear weapons and by the extraordinary growth of global population and com- merce) we urgently need to learn to live in harmony, in harmony with ourselves, in harmony with nature, and in harmony with other members of our species. We can do this if we draw on the full human heritage of cultural diversity. We can draw not only on the knowledge and wisdom of presently existing societies, but also on the experiences and ideas of societies of the past. • The Pythagorean concept of harmony: In the ancient world, the concept of harmony was developed to a high level by the Pythagoreans. The Pythagoreans used the idea of harmony to understand medicine, music, mathematics and ethics. • The concept of harmony in Chinese civilization: Chinese civilization is very ancient, and it has made many extremely important contributions to the cultural heritage of the world - for example, the invention of paper, ink, printing and the magnetic compass. Agriculture began in China as early as 6,000 B.C. The art of working in bronze was developed in China during the Shang dynasty (1,500 B.C. - 1,100 B.C.) and it reached a high pitch of excellence in the Chou dynasty (1,100 B.C. - 250 B.C.). 7 8 LIVES IN ECOLOGY In the Chou period, many of the cultural characteristics which we recognize as par- ticularly Chinese were developed. During this period, the Chinese evolved a code of behavior based on politeness and ethics. Much of this code of behavior is derived from the teachings of K'ung Fu-tzu (Confucius), a philosopher and government of- ficial who lived between 551 B.C. and 479 B.C.. The \Golden Rule" was known to K'ung Fu-tzu, but was formulated in a negative way: \Do not do to others anything that you would not like them do to you". The rational teachings of K'ung Fu-tzu were complemented by the more mystical and intuitive doctrines of Lao-tzu and his followers. Lao-tzu lived at about the same time as K'ung Fu-tzu, and he founded the Taoist religion. The Taoists believed that unity with nature could be achieved by passively blending oneself with the forces of nature. On the whole, politicians and scholars followed the practical teachings of K'ung Fu-tzu, while poets and artists became Taoists. The intuitive sensitivity to nature inspired by Taoist beliefs allowed these artists and poets to achieve literature and art of unusual vividness and force with great economy of means. The Taoist religion has much in common with Buddhism, and its existence in China paved the way for the spread of Buddhism from India to China and Japan.

Katharina Kasper hat ganz ernst damit gemacht. In vielen ihrer Briefe fordert sie dazu auf, nach Heiligkeit zu streben (vgl. S. 28). Für sie ist das eine wichtige Aufgabe jeder einzelnen: Wir müssen „die Heiligkeit so recht erreichen wollen und als unsere größte Aufgabe erreichen. Was kann alles andere nützen.“ (Brief 191) Ja, sie ist sogar davon überzeugt, dass die eigene Heiligkeit die Voraus- setzung dafür ist, dass glaubwürdig Zeugnis gegeben werden kann.

  • The Role of Creatures in the Spiritual Life
    THE ROLE OF CREATURES IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE To what extent should the Christian love and use the good things of this world, and to what extent should he renounce them? This is the question at issue. It is the problem of the transcendent, supernatural vocation of the Christian and his existential condition in the world on the practical level of ascetical attitudes. It is the problem of engagement and detachment. We take the term creatures in a dynamic and not a static sense, as objects of human acts rather than entities existing apart from man. Creatures embrace the whole hierarchy of humanistic values, all human goods that are legitimate objects of man's love and effort.1 We include whatever natural and supernatural goodness that is found in these human values under the one notion of their created goodness and prescind from the controverted question of the objective permanent value in terrestrial realities.2 1 Created goods are personal, e.g. health, money, love and being loved or social, e.g. culture, civilization, temporal structures; they include the goods' of nature and of art and technology, whether these directly serve the body, like the comforts of climate or furniture, or the mind, like recreation or work! or the human spirit, such as knowledge and love. The classification of these goods and their objective relation to the supernatural economy of grace is the object of the theology of terrestrial reality; our viewpoint, that of spiritual theology, is their subjective repercussions in the spiritual life and ideal attitudes to be fostered toward them.

    A Survey of Core Requirements at Our at Our Requirements of Core A Survey and Universities Colleges Nation’s WHAT will they LEARN ? 2017–18 © American Council of Trustees and Alumni 2017. All rights reserved. A Survey of Core Requirements at Our Nation’s Colleges and Universities American Council of Trustees and Alumni FOREWORD It would be hard to imagine a time when ignorance could be more dangerous. Misinformation can travel across the nation in nanoseconds. Our only defense rests on our capacity to educate citizens to make discerning, thoughtful judgments. That ability comes from the practice of reading closely and analytically and parsing arguments, using the tools of logic and reason that for generations the study of the liberal arts has fostered. It is not accidental that the very term “liberal arts” derives from the recognition that they represent the education suited for a free people. A great nation has an informed citizenry that is ready for the complex political choices that confront us. A great nation also needs a citizenry with the intellectual preparation to prevail in the relentless competition of global markets. And higher education needs a reset to meet both of these urgent needs. Too many colleges fail to provide students with the skills they need to succeed in the workforce. With technology rapidly advancing, some careers will disappear, some will expand globally. However, the ability to synthesize information, recognize past precedents, understand human behavior, and communicate effectively will prove invaluable as the job market continues to adapt to the demands of the new century. Companies from Silicon Valley to Wall Street need college graduates who are prepared not only for technical tasks, but also for high-level critical thinking and written communication.

  • Werkhilfe Singheft 2014
    Singheft 14 Werkhilfe zum Singheft 2014 von Horst Krüger Anstelle eines Vorworts Das Singheft ist aus dem Singkalender entstanden, der grafisch zwar immer schön gestaltet war, auf dem aber lediglich Kanons, Kehrverse und kurze Singsprüche Platz hatten. Nach mehreren Jahrgängen hatte sich der Verlag für ein größeres Format entschieden. So erschien 1970 in DIN-A5 das erste Singheft. Herausgeber der Singkalender wie der Singhefte war bis 1990 Paul Ernst Ruppel. Somit liegt mit diesem Jahrgang die 45. Ausgabe vor. Im Laufe der Jahre sind die musikalischen Formen vielfältiger, aber auch umfangreicher geworden. Die Einteilung in Monate hat man bereits 1991 aufgegeben. Dennoch wird versucht, neben einer Vertonung der Jahreslosung die wichtigsten Zeiten des Kirchenjahrs und manchmal auch die Tageszeiten zu bedenken. Zum Prinzip gehört, dass alle Stücke des Singhefts a cappella ausführbar sind. Die Begleitsätze sind somit alle ad libitum und stehen deshalb auf einem zusätzlichen Blatt. Verantwortlich für das Singheft ist Horst Krüger (seit 1991), der als Berater Rudi Henkel († 2013), Dr. Bernhard Lorenz und Martin Sellke zur Seite hat. Zum Singheft 2014 (CS 85314) gehören die Begleitsätze (CS 46314). Die Chorsätze Nr. 5, 6, 11 und 12 sind auf der CD „In allem klingt Gott“ (CS 95228) zu hören. Abkürzungen: BG: Bundesgaben für Gemische Chöre, EG: Evangelisches Gesangbuch, EM: Gesangbuch der Evangelisch-methodistischen Kirche, FuL: Feiern und Loben, JuF: Jesus unsere Freude. Werkhilfe zum Singheft 14 Seite 2 von 17 01 Gott nahe zu sein ist mein Glück Text Der Psalm 73 trägt in der Lutherbibel die Überschrift: „Anfechtung und Trost beim Glück des Gottlosen“. Im Psalm wird das scheinbare Glück der Gottlosen (2-12) und das scheinbare Unglück der Frommen (13-20) beschrieben.

  • St. Francis of Assisi
    Saint Francis of Assisi Feast day: October 4th He was born Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone, in Italy around 1181, to a wealthy family. Though Francesco was baptized, he was known for excessive partying and drinking in his youth. He joined the military in Assisi and was captured during a battle between Assisi and Perugia, and then he spent a year in prison. His life began to shift away from attachment to worldly possessions during his imprisonment. He powerfully renounced his family’s dedication to their acquired wealth by stripping himself of his clothes, choosing instead to wear a simple cloth - a habit that Franciscans still wear today to unite themselves to St. Francis. St. Francis is considered one of the most beloved saints in the United States, among both Catholics and non- Catholics. He is the patron saint of the environment and animals because of his care for all creation. He famously wrote the Canticle of the Sun, a hymn of praise. Some consider him to be the first person to receive the holy stigmata that recreated the wounds of Jesus at The Crucifixion, which he received in 1224 when he was approximately 43 years old. St. Francis is a missionary saint. God chose St. Francis to “go, rebuild my Church” – a call that Francis answered literally by rebuilding the San Damiano church as well as living out his faith by caring for the poor and marginalized. He encouraged others to live simply. Ultimately, the call to “go, rebuild my Church” was actualized by Francis reforming the image and lifestyle of clergy, demonstrating the power of simple living, renewing in others the desire to create change – by leading an exemplary life of service – and calling people to renewed faithfulness to Christ and commitment to His mission.
