The Angry Earth explores how various cultures in different historical moments have responded to calamity, offering insight into the complex relationship between societies and their environments. From hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes to oil spills and nuclear accidents, disasters triggered by both natural and technological hazards have become increasingly frequent and destructive across the planet. Through case studies drawn from around the globe the contributors to this volume examine issues ranging from the social and political factors that set the stage for disaster, to the cultural processes experienced by survivors, to the long-term impact of disasters on culture and society. In the second edition, each chapter has been updated with a postscript to reflect on recent developments in the field. There is also new material on key present-day topics including epidemics, drought, non-governmental organizations, and displacement and resettlement. This book demonstrates the relevance of studying disaster from an anthropological perspective and is a valuable resource not only for anthropologists but for other fields concerned with education, policy and practice.

Before the idea of the Anthropocene, there was the angry planet How might we understand an earthquake as a complaint, or erosion as a form of protest—in short, the Earth as an angry planet? Many novels from the end of the millennium did just that, centering around an Earth that acts, moves, shapes human affairs, and creates dramatic, nonanthropogenic change. In Angry Planet, Anne Stewart uses this literature to develop a theoretical framework for reading with and through planetary motion. Typified by authors like Colson Whitehead, Octavia Butler, and Leslie Marmon Silko, whose work anticipates contemporary critical concepts of entanglement, withdrawal, delinking, and resurgence, angry planet fiction coalesced in the 1990s and delineated the contours of a decolonial ontology. Stewart shows how this fiction brought Black and Indigenous thought into conversation, offering a fresh account of globalization in the 1990s from the perspective of the American Third World, construing it as the era that first made connections among environmental crises and antiracist and decolonial struggles. By synthesizing these major intersections of thought production in the final decades of the twentieth century, Stewart offers a recent history of dissent to the young movements of the twenty-first century. As she reveals, this knowledge is crucial to incipient struggles of our contemporary era, as our political imaginaries grapple with the major challenges of white nationalism and climate change denial.

The premise of this book is that learning to let go of anger—and ultimately forgiving the offender—will transform the foundation of every kind of relationship we have. Stanley defines anger as "a strong feeling of intense displeasure, hostility, or indignation as a result of a real or an imagined threat or insult, frustration, or injustice toward yourself or towards someone who’s very important to you." Building on this defintion, Stanley... 1. Helps readers identify the signs of anger, so they can identify anger in themselves. 2. Reveals the far-reaching consequences of anger, which encompass the spiritual, emotional, and physical. 3. Teaches readers how to handle anger through thirteen concrete steps. 4. Walks readers through the steps to true forgiveness and the healing power it brings. With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is "the size of thing that makes them angry." He goes on to distinguish between healthy and harmful anger and reminds us that "righteous indignation" is a divine emotion. However, he skillfully explains that misguided anger eats away at ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationship with God. By helping readers look honestly at the source of their anger, he gently leads them to the ability to truly forgive and find the peace they seek.

I have spent my life in public education and have been concerned about the education of young people for many years. I served in junior high and senior high schools for thirty years. I was, I felt, called by God to be a teacher. In my mind, to be a teacher requires, first of all, a love for those that you teach. As a teacher, guidance counselor, and administrator, I have seen students and parents in the act of growing up together. At the same time, God has been good to me in that he has placed love and concern for people in general as a part of my nature. I am eternally grateful for that. I am now getting some age on me, and though I have been a people person all my life, I see other people who seem to be doing more for God than I have done, and I must say that I am ashamed that I have not done more. It has been on my mind and heart that I needed to do more to help people. I have watched as our nation and the world have seemed to be angry. There are lots of things that people can be angry about. And I am thinking, from what I am seeing, that there are many people out there who use every one of them as a way to express their anger. As I lay on my pillar at night, God seemed to bring to my mind certain scriptures from the Bible that I have been schooled in all my life. The message seemed to push me to examine what I was seeing as a part of our social order and see if I could apply what God was saying in his Word to helping people realize that the answers we are seeking can only be found in the teachings of God's Word. To that end, I have tried to examine problems that I was seeing and to provide some help for those who are angry and hurting themselves and others. If I have been able to do that in this work, give God the glory. He is the answer to the unrest of the human soul. Only he can solve our anger problem. May God bless you as you seek his guidance. I have no answers; only God does!
