Polls show almost half of US adults believe that Earth is only 10,000 years old, whereas scientists consider our planet to be 4.56 billion years old. Examining these conflicting views illuminates aspects of the perceived conflict between religion and science, and helps us understand the battles between “evolutionist” and “creationist” advocates. This book examines how we approach knowledge, and how we look at certainty. It disentangles the threads of the traditional knowledge we are taught from the knowledge we gain from our own investigation of truth. It argues that nature, the basis of science, and scripture, the basis of religion, derive from a single source. Because of their shared origins, religious and scientific perspectives grounded in verifiable truths must be in harmony. The book presents the science behind the reliability of isotopic dates, and critiques young-earth creationist attacks on isotopic studies. Though the nature of time is a philosophical issue, its measurement is a scientific venture that has affirmed that Earth is 4.56 billion years old. The harmony of science and religion, based on recognition of their single source, is a prerequisite for the progress of humanity as a whole.

This book continues to focus on Earth, but from the point of view of the physical planet under our feet. It explores the Earth's surface and subsurface, including how rocks are formed, the structure of the Earth, volcanoes, earthquakes, and how the surface changes with time giving rise to ocean floors, continents and mountains. It considers the Earth as a solid rocky planet within the Solar System and compares it with other bodies. It also looks beyond the Solar System to consider the Earth's place within it.

In their search for solutions to problems concerning the dynamics of the Earth as a self-gravitating body, the authors have applied the fundamentals found in their book “Jacobi Dynamics” (1987, Reidel). First, satellite observations have shown that the Earth does not remain in hydrostatic equilibrium, which forms the physical basis of modern geodynamics. Secondly, satellite data have established a relationship between the planet’s polar moment of inertia and the potential of the Earth’s outer force field, which proves the most basic point of Jacobi dynamics. This allowed the authors to revise their derivation of the classical virial theorem, introducing the concept of a volumetric force and volumetric moment, and so to obtain a generalized virial theorem in the form of Jacobi’s equation. The main dynamical effects are: the kinetic energy of oscillation of the interacting particles, which explains the physical meaning and nature of gravitational forces; separation of shells of a self-gravitating body with respect to its mass density; differences in angular velocities of the shell’s rotation; continuity in variance of the potential of the outer gravitational force field, together with reductions in the envelope of the interacting masses (volumetric center of gravity); the nature of Earth, Moon and satellite precession; the nature and generating mechanism of the planet’s electromagnetic field; the common nature of gravitational and electromagnetic energy, and other related issues. The work is a logical continuation of the book "Jacobi Dynamics" and is intended for researchers, teachers and students engaged in theoretical and experimental research in various branches of astronomy, geophysics, planetology and cosmogony, and for students of celestial, statistical, quantum and relativistic mechanics and hydrodynamics.

Disposable Earth is a collection of essays on the climate crisis. It is meant to awaken and immerse one into the tough existential questions the crisis has thrown at us: beyond the effects and impacts on the climate that we witness with our own eyes, and into what actually started it all: what is much less visible, and which goes back hundreds, thousands of years ago when our failed civilisations were still in their infancy. For some of us this is a painful journey deep into ourselves and our past. A journey that many of us don't want to take at any cost, for fear of coming face to face with our failings as a species. But this book spares no truth. Prepare to feel exposed, sometimes ashamed. Prepare for your world view to be shaken, in the same way that I'm prepared to be labelled a doomist, alarmist and even misanthrope by some. But I feel it is my duty to have my personal moment of reckoning with my own species and the hundreds of generations of my ancestors, about our civilisation and what it has come to. I'm doing this for myself and for all the humans that came before me, taxed with the burden and responsibility of being the first generation aware of the dead end ahead. I feel that I carry the weight of everyone who came before me, in finding a solution. As a molecular biologist, chemist and food scientist, I cannot help but approach the climate crisis partly through a methodic systems approach that combines science, economics and psychology, and aims to simplify what is the most complex issue we have ever faced. I often use the simplistic Anthropo-sin diagram to illustrate this. But at the same time, I also approach the issue from a deeply spiritual place, trying to understand, and expose, the deep crisis in the human psyche which is responsible for our predicament. I tap into my own personal experiences living and surviving within the traumatising civilisation we have created, and I am driven, sometimes with a mix of frustration and desperation, sometimes by grief, but always by the existential urgency that climate change has awoken in many of us. I believe that this crisis lies much deeper than the social, economic and political systems that comprise our failed civilisation. It is about who we are, and the fact that we have lost sense of what happiness is. I often draw yet again from my scientific background as I try to understand, from an evolutionary and biological perspective why, we humans, do the things that we do, which often seem to make no sense.Although Disposable Earth is in many ways a continuation of the Age of Separateness and the Climate Change Within, my entire body of work so far revolves around the struggle to exist as a human in the modern age. My goal with my books and blogs is to try and reveal, to set free, the Other Human that resides in each of us, a human who has been suppressed, traumatised, silenced and forgotten by centuries of capitalism, colonialist oppression and the CO2 life-support Machine which all of us are hooked up to. Although we are living through the most uncertain and terrifying time to be a human, this is also a time to feel more alive, more purposeful than ever: a time when we are being forced by our Planet to finally think seriously about who we are, who we thought we were, and where we see ourselves in the future, if we want to have one. I hope these essays help you to find a small piece of your Other Human.

This is a guide to the Hebrew Bible unlike any other. Leading us chapter by chapter through its most important stories--from the Creation and the Tree of Knowledge through the Exodus from Egypt and the journey to the Promised Land--James Kugel shows how a group of anonymous, ancient interpreters radically transformed the Bible and made it into the book that has come down to us today. Was the snake in the Garden of Eden the devil, or the Garden itself "paradise"? Did Abraham discover monotheism, and was his son Isaac a willing martyr? Not until the ancient interpreters set to work. Poring over every little detail in the Bible's stories, prophecies, and laws, they let their own theological and imaginative inclinations radically transform the Bible's very nature. Their sometimes surprising interpretations soon became the generally accepted meaning. These interpretations, and not the mere words of the text, became the Bible in the time of Jesus and Paul or the rabbis of the Talmud. Drawing on such sources as the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient Jewish apocrypha, Hellenistic writings, long-lost retellings of Bible stories, and prayers and sermons of the early church and synagogue, Kugel reconstructs the theory and methods of interpretation at the time when the Bible was becoming the bedrock of Judaism and Christianity. Here, for the first time, we can witness all the major transformations of the text and recreate the development of the Bible "As It Was" at the start of the Common era--the Bible as we know it.

Earth is the only planet known to have fire. The reason isboth simple and profound: fire exists because Earth is the onlyplanet to possess life as we know it. Fire is an expression of lifeon Earth and an index of life’s history. Few processes are asintegral, unique, or ancient. Fire on Earth puts fire in its rightful place as anintegral part of the study of geology, biology, human history,physics, and global chemistry. Fire is ubiquitous in various formsthroughout Earth, and belongs as part of formal inquiries about ourworld. In recent years fire literature has multipliedexponentially; dedicated journals exist and half a dozeninternational conferences are held annually. A host of formalsciences, or programs announcing interdisciplinary intentions, arewilling to consider fire. Wildfire also appears routinely in mediareporting. This full-colour text, containing over 250 illustrations of firein all contexts, is designed to provide a synthesis of contemporarythinking; bringing together the most powerful concepts anddisciplinary voices to examine, in an international setting, whyplanetary fire exists, how it works, and why it looks the way itdoes today. Students, lecturers, researchers and professionalsinterested in the physical, ecological and historicalcharacteristics of fire will find this book, and accompanyingweb-based material, essential reading for undergraduate andpostgraduate courses in all related disciplines, for generalinterest and for providing an interdisciplinary foundation forfurther study.
