The rapid advancement of technology has led to an explosion of
speculative theories about what the future of humankind may look
like. These "technological futurisms" have arisen from significant
advances in the fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology and
information technology and are drawing growing scrutiny from the
philosophical and theological communities. This text seeks to
contextualize the growing literature on the cultural, philosophical
and religious implications of technological growth by considering
technological futurisms such as transhumanism in the context of the
long historical tradition of technological dreaming. Michael
Burdett traces the latent religious sources of our contemporary
technological imagination by looking at visionary approaches to
technology and the future in seminal technological utopias and
science fiction and draws on past theological responses to the
technological future with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Jacques
Ellul. Burdett's argument arrives at a contemporary Christian
response to transhumanism based around the themes of possibility
and promise by turning to the works of Richard Kearney, Eberhard
Jungel and Jurgen Moltmann. Throughout, the author highlights
points of correspondence and divergence between technological
futurisms and the Judeo-Christian understanding of the future.

Zambia's course since independence, chronicling the periods of boom
and decline after the fall in the price of copper around the

strategy to retain industries and livelihoods and investigates the
ability of the current leadership to achieve this.
What can we learn if we take the time to listen to the plants
growing all around us? What messages can we take in, and what sense
of connection to ourselves and the world around us can we
cultivate? In Dirt Gems, author Anne Louise Burdett and illustrator
Chelsea Granger seek to share the wisdom of our plant allies-in all
their natural beauty and complexity. Divided into four
suits-Ablaze, Afloat, Adrift, and Amidst-these lushly illustrated
cards offer tools to tap into the inherent power, and magic, of the
natural world. Dive deeper into the meaning of each card in the
accompanying illustrated guidebook, whether you are pulling a
single card, or creating a spread for further exploration. - Deluxe
set: This package includes 65 fully illustrated cards (3 X 5
inches) in an interior travel case; a 168-page, full-colour
flexibound guidebook (4 3/4 X 6 inches); and a keepsake magnetic
closure box. - 65-card deck with vibrant illustrations: Each card
highlights a single plant, from Calendula to Yarrow, with a vivid,
whimsical watercolour illustration on the front, along with the
plant's name and suit. A unifying card back illustration brings
cohesion to this stunning deck, while sprayed metallic edges on the
cards add visual interest. - Inspiring guidebook for further
reflection: The accompanying flexibound book offers deep insights
into the magic of each suit-including colours, elements, energetic
signatures, weather, metals, emotions, and landscapes-and the
specifics of each plant. Both deeply researched and soulfully
written, these card-specific entries guide readers in developing a
relationship with their deck. - Interior case for travel, exterior
box for storage: Dirt Gems includes an interior, full-colour
cardstock box for holding your cards-perfect for bringing them
wherever you want to go. Once you're home, store the travel box and

spiritual seekers: Anyone who connects to the natural world will
find inspiration and magic in the world of Dirt Gems, as it blends
plant knowledge and herbalism with the innate energy of all that
grows from the Earth. A note on packaging: In order to help honour
our planet and reduce waste, we have only shrink wrapped the
interior cards, rather than the keepsake box. Please feel confident
that your product is not defective or used, but rather represents a
step we are taking to protect our collective home. When you open
your deck, you will find that the actual cards inside the box are
shrink wrapped for protection and to ensure first use by the buyer.

Setting: New York City. Kid scientists Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz,
and Egon Spengler are investigating ghosts and other paranormal
activity in the city. They see their first ghost (Slimer) in the
NYC Public Library and that leads them to create the Ghostbusters,
setting up their "club" in an old firehouse. Soon, business is
booming as the kid are recruited to capture ghosts throughout the
city. Winston Zeddemore and Janine join as well. But there is
something sinister happening at an apartment building and the
Ghostbusters must put a stop to it (and the Stay Puft marshmallow
man) before the city is overrun with ghouls.

The history of Italians and of modern Italian culture stems from
multiple experiences of mobility and migration: between the late
19th century and the early 20th century, 27 million Italians
migrated and 60 to 80 million people worldwide see their identity
as connected with the Italian diaspora. Since the time of Italian
unification, a series of narratives about mobility have been
produced both inside and outside the boundaries of Italy, by agents
such as the Italian state, international organizations or migrant
communities themselves. The essays in Transcultural Italies follow
the multiple trajectories of this complex history and of its
representations. They do so by focusing on the key concepts and
practices of mobility, memory and translation. Taken together, they
represent a contrapuntal series of case studies that offers a fresh
perspective on the study of modern and contemporary Italy. The
essays in the volume explore the meanings that ‘transnational’
and ‘transcultural’ assume when applied to the notion of
Italian culture. Contributors: Charles Burdett, Jennifer Burns,

A chance meeting on the New York subway leads to the destinies of
two very different women becoming intertwined with terrifying
consequences in this nerve-jangling thriller. Sixteen-year-old
Addison is on the run. She's leaving her life on New York's streets
behind for a new one with Rafe, armed with just his phone number on
a scrap of paper. She's taking the subway to meet him in New
Jersey. He'll take care of her. Or so she thinks . . . Elizabeth
Brown's world has fallen apart and she's thinking about her newly
ex-fiance. Until she locks eyes with a teenage girl while waiting
for the train doors to open, and a bundle is thrust into her arms
as she leaves the subway. A baby, wrapped in a dirty coat.
Elizabeth phones the number she finds in the coat pocket. Then
wishes she hadn't. Someone wants Addison and the baby. And they'll
do whatever it takes to get them . . .
In 2050, over three quarters of the world's population will live in
cities. This follow-up to Phaidon's successful The Endless City is
a close look at the issues that affect cities, and thus human life
across the globe in the twenty-first century. Based on a series of
conferences held by the London School of Economics, Living in the
Endless City examines Mumbai, Sao Paolo and Istanbul through a
series of essays by global scholars and thinkers, photographs
illustrating key aspects of life in the three cities, and
compellingly presented analytical data.

Traditionally, in the food industry, there has been a distinction
made among meat, poultry, seafood, and game. Meat has historically
been defined as the edible flesh of animals. This basically
referred only to the red meats, namely, beef, lamb, pork, and veal,
including both fresh and processed products as well as variety or
glandular meats. It has been recognized more recently that all
foods derived from muscle, or muscle foods, have basically the same
or similar characteristics in physical and chemical properties.
Tberefore, it is logical to exarnine and consider all muscle foods
under one cover. Tbis book, therefore, is an attempt to address the
various attributes of red meat, poultry, fish, and game under the
single heading of muscle foods and to note any differences where
they might OCCUT. It is of interest that of the 10 top V. S. meat
companies in 1990, 8 of them were dealing with poultry as well as
red meats and that 4 of the 10 were also involved with seafoods.
Tbis lends impetus to the inclusion of all three in a book such as
this. Furthermore, the rapid increase in consumption of poultry
meat to approximately 30 kg (65 pounds) per capita and seafoods to
7 kg (16 pounds) per capita compared to beef at 34 kg (75 pounds)
and pork at 30 kg (65 pounds), whereas veal and lamb/mutton
represent only 0.
