As brilliantly polemical and richly descriptive as it was when it was published almost three decades ago, this new version of An Unnatural Order is sure to excite a passionate debate about our role in either saving the ecosystems upon which all species (including our own) rely, or bringing it all to an end. 

Walking with Wisdom is a stunning sequence of 20 meditations for our time. Inspired by the apocryphal Book of Wisdom, traditionally attributed to Solomon, Nan Merrill shows us that wisdom is a treasured gift for all generations. Divine Sophia invites us to participate with her, through her tender guidance, in an existence that transcends death. The unseen Realm of Love is our true life, and Merrill - author of Psalms for Praying, the psalms recast and spiritually reinterpreted for our times - takes us on a breathtaking journey into love consciousness.

In this clear elucidation of the philosophy of animal rights, professors Mylan Engel, Jr., and Kathie Jenni explore the fundamental outlines of the debate over our duties and responsibilities toward nonhuman animals. They also examine how the issue of animal rights plays out in a classroom setting and address some of the questions that arise for both students and teachers in presenting and studying this subject. In two-course syllabi, Engel and Jenni place animal rights in the context of ethical practice and the environmental movement.

Grief and love are at the center of the human and divine drama. How we find our way through the mazes of these losses and gains determines our character, meaning, purpose, and our legacy. When clergyman, psychotherapist, and spiritual director Hal Edwards lost Betsy, his wife of 50 years, he was perhaps as well placed to chart his passage through that maze as anyone.

The year is 4545 and humanity has now colonized and reached the farthest points of their known universe’s boundaries, which has revealed a shocking truth nobody was prepared to confront! In the wake of this chaos, dark and sinister forces begin to rise, claiming the opportunistic spoils for themselves by seeking to destabilize the galactic balance of power and politics.

When history books are written about 2017 and the year that preceded it (assuming that something called “writing” survives, some things called “books” remain, and any human settlements exist to recollect anything in the way of “history”), it may be possible to consider with a degree of equanimity the character of the 45th president of the United States, the reasons for his election in November 2016, and what either tell us about the people who voted for him or those who thought it unimportant to vote at all. Until then, however, there is The Trumpiad.

Rowe plumbs the depths and details the degradations that, with disturbing consistency, characterized the second year of the administration of the 45th president of the United States, as they had the first. From Melania to Stormy Daniels, Vladimir Putin to Kim Jong-un, Robert Mueller to Omarosa, The Trumpiad invades the consciousnesses of the many characters who inhabited or infected the swamp, and offers a withering satirical take on the state of our politics.
