Though enlightenment of the individual is the purpose of
Freemasonry through the conveyance of certain philosophical truths
through masonic ritual, discussions within the trust of
Brotherhood, all guided by the moral law followed by each
individual Mason, there lies immediately outside the doors of a
regularly constituted Lodge an undermining existence of fraud,
deception, and abuse. It knocks from the outside, unworthy to enter
and instead of placing itself in a proper manner to enter, this
force takes the shape of a leech. It lies on the surface of
Freemasonry, hidden often in plain sight, and attempts to
perpetuate its existence from the lifeblood of the Fraternity, its
fellowship, its enlightenment, and its benevolence towards other
members that has a residual positive effect on humanity.

in Social Change. An introduction to social change that highlights
theories on key topics including social change, innovation, social
movements, and revolutions. Exploring Social Change: America and
the World 6e is a comprehensive introduction to social change. The

revolution, and concludes with reflections about how individuals do
and should live in an uncertain and rapidly changing world. Written
in a personal and clear manner, the authors provide definitions of
key terms and analysis of theories and ideas from the study of
social change. The seventh edition includes updated examples
reflecting the social changes that have occurred in the world

Reflecting a rich technical and interdisciplinary exchange of
ideas, Water and Life: The Unique Properties of H20 focuses on the
properties of water and its interaction with life. The book
develops a variety of approaches that help to illuminate ways in
which to address deeper questions with respect to the nature of the
universe and our place within it.
Grouped in five broad parts, this collection examines the
arguments of Lawrence J. Henderson and other scholars on the
"fitness" of water for life as part of the physical and chemical
properties of nature considered as a foundational environment
within which life has emerged and evolved. Leading authorities
delve into a range of themes and questions that span key areas of
ongoing debate and uncertainty. They draw from the fields of
chemistry, biology, biochemistry, planetary and earth sciences,
physics, astronomy, and their subspecialties. Several chapters also
deal with humanistic disciplines, such as the history of science
and theology, to provide additional perspectives.
Bringing together highly esteemed researchers from
multidisciplinary fields, this volume addresses fundamental
questions relating to the possible role of water in the origin of
life in the cosmos. It supports readers in their own explorations
of the origin and meaning of life and the role of water in
maintaining life.

The sixth edition of Environment and Society continues to connect
issues about human societies, ecological systems, and the
environment with data and perspectives from different fields. While
the text looks at environmental issues from a primarily
sociological viewpoint, it is designed for courses in Environmental
Sociology and Environmental Issues in departments of Sociology,
Environmental Studies, Anthropology, Political Science, and Human
Geography. Clearly defined terms and theories help familiarize
students from various backgrounds with the topics at hand. Each of
the chapters is significantly updated with new data, concepts, and
ideas. Chapter Three: Climate Change, Science and Diplomacy, is the
most extensively revised with current natural science data and
sociological insights. It also details the factors at play in the
establishment of the Paris Agreement and its potential to affect
global climate change. This edition elevates questions of
environmental and climate justice in addressing the
human-environment relations and concerns throughout the book.
Finally, each chapter contains embedded website links for further
discussion or commentary on a topic, concludes with review and
reflection questions, and suggests further readings and internet
sources.

Former best friends Scott and Errol meet unexpectedly at Oso Lake,
a remote Canadian fly-fishing paradise where, five years before,
fresh out of college, they had the time of their lives. Their
situations, though, have changed, their high hopes quashed by
workaday realities and, in Errol's case, marriage to Claire, who
has come with him trying to stave off divorce. But Oso Lake has
changed. The fall before, a woman's severed head was left in a
campfire pit beside the lake. The shadow cast by her murder is
darkened further by a fire-scarred white truck driver who claims to
be a long-dead Native shaman and has plans to eradicate not only
Scott, Errol, and Claire, but all of Western civilization. The
beauty of the wilderness becomes, every day, more threatening and
perverse. But the worst danger the vacationers face may be
themselves.

Something is rotten in the state of American poetry. Â With
respect to audience and artistry, poetry has shot itself in many
portions of its anatomy, and keeps blasting. The fact that
vast numbers of poems are published every year, and a large number
of Creative Writing students and graduates combine to read a few of
them, does not mean that poetry is on the right track. Â How
has the erstwhile Queen of the Arts been consigned to the tiny
corner of the cultural basement where she languishes today—and
how can she get out? As an acclaimed poet and veteran
teacher of poetry, Charles Harper Webb knows what it takes for a
poem to grab a reader's attention and hold on. As a former
rock singer/guitarist and a licensed psychotherapist, he
understands how to connect with an audience. A Million MFAs
Are Not Enough shows—with wit and style and concrete tips that
working writers can use—how poetry can return to cultural
relevance again. Â
