Creating Gaia Culture : Vision and Workbook
Humanity stands at the threshold of a new phase of Earth's planetary evolution.Breathtaking possibilities - in tune with the evolutionary path of the universe - are now available.Yet the question arises: Does humanity have the ideas, foresight and potential for action that could create a culture that corresponds to the planet's transformation?In the midst of distressing ecological crises, Marko Pogacnik offers fresh hope.Having worked intensively in the fields of holistic ecology (geomancy) and Earth-healing for four decades, he now formulates a vision of a culture based on co-creation with Gaia (the Earth), her elemental worlds and beings from parallel evolutions.Creating Gaia Culture is also a workbook, featuring dozens of drawings and meditative exercises to help transcend mental obstacles by cultivating the quality of living imagination.Pogacnik - UNO Goodwill Ambassador and UNESCO Artist for Peace - presents numerous ways to collaborate with the process of creating Gaia culture.He allows us to look into the primeval source of the future by interpreting the ancient book of the biblical Apocalypse - a text that holds the secret of Earth changes in a coded vision of a new human civilization - and uses his experiences, visions, dream stories and communications with beings from parallel worlds to trigger pictures that can enable a new human culture become a tactile reality.

China in the World : Culture, Politics, and World Vision
In China in the World, Ban Wang traces the evolution of modern China from the late nineteenth century to the present.With a focus on tensions and connections between national formation and international outlooks, Wang shows how ancient visions persist even as China has adopted and revised the Western nation-state form.The concept of tianxia, meaning “all under heaven,” has constantly been updated into modern outlooks that value unity, equality, and reciprocity as key to overcoming interstate conflict, social fragmentation, and ethnic divides.Instead of geopolitical dominance, China’s worldviews stem as much from the age-old desire for world unity as from absorbing the Western ideas of the Enlightenment, humanism, and socialism.Examining political writings, literature, and film, Wang presents a narrative of the country’s pursuits of decolonization, national independence, notions of national form, socialist internationalism, alternative development, and solidarity with Third World nations.Rather than national exceptionalism, Chinese worldviews aspire to a shared, integrated, and equal world.

Imagining the Earth : Poetry and the Vision of Nature
A landmark work in the burgeoning field of literary ecology, Imagining the Earth explores the ways in which our attitudes toward nature are mirrored in and influenced by poetry.In the work of some of our most widely read poets, says John Elder, one can discern a resurgent vision of humanity in harmony with the rest of the natural order. To show us the power of poetry to identify, interpret, and celebrate a wide range of issues related to nature and our place in it, Elder uses numerous examples of works by Gary Snyder, Wendell Berry, A.R. Ammons, Denise Levertov, and William Everson. Elder places these poets within a cultural tradition flowing from William Wordsworth through Alfred North Whitehead, T.S. Eliot, and Robinson Jeffers, and uses their poems to illuminate the relationships between culture and wilderness, imagination and landscape, and science and poetry.Elder's commentaries are interlinked with two remarkable essays in which he describes his ow

Eyes to See : The Astonishing Variety of Vision in Nature
Vision is the sense by which we and other animals obtain most of our information about the world around us.Darwin appreciated that at first sight it seems absurd that the human eye could have evolved by natural selection.But we now know far more about vision, the many times it has independently evolved in nature, and the astonishing variety of ways to see.The human eye, with a lens forming an image on a sensitive retina, represents just one.Scallops, shrimps, and lobsters all use mirrors in different ways.Jumping spiders scan with their front-facing eyes to check whether the object in front is an insect to eat, another spider to mate with, or a predator to avoid.Mantis shrimps can even measure the polarization of light. Animal eyes are amazing structures, often involving precision optics and impressive information processing, mainly using wet protein - not the substance an engineer would choose for such tasks.In Eyes to See, Michael Land, one of the leading world experts on vision, explores the varied ways in which sight has evolved and is used in the natural world, and describes some of the ingenious experiments researchers have used to uncover its secrets.He also discusses human vision, including his experiments on how our eye movements help us to do everyday tasks, as well as skilled ones such as sight-reading music or driving.He ends by considering the fascinating problem of how the constantly shifting images from our eyes are converted in the brain into the steady and integrated conscious view of the world we experience.
