Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. A Fine unmarked copy with no inscriptions. 328 pages. Since 2001, two dominant worldviews have clashed in the global arena: a neoconservative nightmare of an insidious Islamic terrorist threat to civilized life, and a jihadist myth of martyrdom through the slaughter of infidels. Across the airwaves and on the ground, an ill-defined and uncontrollable war has raged between these two opposing scenarios. Deadly images and threats - from the televised beheading of Western hostages to graphic photographs of tortured prisoners at Guantamo, from the destruction wrought by suicide bombers to civilian deaths at the hands of American occupation forces in Iraq - have polarized populations on both sides of the divide. Yet, as noted Middle East scholar and commentator Gilles Kepel demonstrates, President Bush's War on Terror masks a complex political agenda in the Middle East - enforcing democracy, accessing Iraqi oil, securing Israel, and seeking regime change in Iran. The books sounds the alarm to the West and to Islam that both of these narratives are bankrupt and in a bold vision of an 'integrated civilization' he offers a way out of this destructive dialectic.

And no book has ever established the life sciences so firmly in the mainstream of Western intellectual history as The Growth of Biological Thought. Ten years in preparation, this is a work of epic proportions, tracing the development of the major problems of biology from the earliest attempts to find order in the diversity of life to modern research into the mechanisms of gene transmission."].

Long before GPS, Google Earth, and global transit, humans traveled vast distances using only environmental clues and simple instruments. John Huth asks what is lost when modern technology substitutes for our innate capacity to find our way. Encyclopedic in breadth, weaving together astronomy, meteorology, oceanography, and ethnography, The Lost Art of Finding Our Way puts us in the shoes, ships, and sleds of early navigators for whom paying close attention to the environment around them was, quite literally, a matter of life and death. Haunted by the fate of two young kayakers lost in a fogbank off Nantucket, Huth shows us how to navigate using natural phenomena?the way the Vikings used the sunstone to detect polarization of sunlight, and Arab traders learned to sail into the wind, and Pacific Islanders used underwater lightning and "read" waves to guide their explorations. Huth reminds us that we are all navigators capable of learning techniques ranging from the simplest to the most sophisticated skills of direction-finding. Even today, careful observation of the sun and moon, tides and ocean currents, weather and atmospheric effects can be all we need to find our way. Lavishly illustrated with nearly 200 specially prepared drawings, Huth's compelling account of the cultures of navigation will engross readers in a narrative that is part scientific treatise, part personal travelogue, and part vivid re-creation of navigational history. Seeing through the eyes of past voyagers, we bring our own world into sharper view. Ref R 7.

1st edition. "Mr Trimble shows that Elizabeth permitted a measured toleration, avoiding interference with freedom of conscience. Although freedom of worship was legally forbidden, compulsory adherence by the laity to the Established Church was generally enforced through moderate measures, even in such times of crisis as the Spanish dangers of the 1580's and 1590's. Rarely were harsher penalties enforced, and then only on a very few. For their part, the great majority of atholics while remaining steadfast in their religious beliefs, were otherwise obedient and loyal subjects." Pp.xii/290, owner's name to front free endpaper.
