This volume aims to inspire a return to the energetics of
Nietzsche's prose and the critical intensity of his approach to
nihilism and to give back to the future its rightful futurity. The
book states that for too long contemporary thought has been
dominated by a depressed what is to be done?. All is regarded to be
in vain, nothing is deemed real, there is nothing new seen under
the sun. Such a postmodern lament is easily confounded with an
apathetic reluctance to think engagedly. Hence the contributors
draw on the variety of topical issues - the future of life, the
nature of life forms, the techno sciences, the body, religion - as
a way of tackling the question of nihilism's pertinence to us now.
In 1795, Immanuel Kant proclaimed that the peoples of the earth
have entered into a 'universal community'. Since Kant wrote this,
the processes of inter-connection between the peoples of the earth
have grown even more pronounced and the notion of 'cosmopolitics'
has thus come to seem a defining one for the contemporary age. As
such, this volume makes a timely contribution to contemporary
debates about international law, global ecology and economy and
transnational synergies. The volume is inter-disciplinary and is
intended to be a contribution to a debate that crosses borders and
disciplines.
"Leading family sociologist David Morgan revisits his highly
influential 'family practices' approach in this new book. Exploring
its impact, and how it has been critiqued, Morgan shows the
continued relevance of the approach with reference to time and
space, the body, emotions, ethics and work/life balance"--

"I didn't set out to become a collector of your and your neighbors'
information. When I was growing up, nobody but egghead scientists
talked about 'data.' It was the mechanical age, and I was a gadget
geek, taking apart my cousin's toys and trying to put them back
together again. I was especially crazy about cars and engines, and
had it not been for a fateful encounter during college recruiting
season, I might've lived my life as a race car mechanic instead of
learning about computers at IBM. As it turned out, pursuing Big
Data allowed me the resources to become a professional race car
driver on the side, competing against the likes of Paul Newman, who
makes appearances in these pages as well. "Such are the wonders of
this journey we're all on. Mine has taken me from the frontier of
western Arkansas, where my ancestors owned a hardware store selling
iron tools to westbound travelers, to the frontier of the digital
age, where room-size computers have become eclipsed by the power of
smart phones. And in a sense, the story you're about to read isn't
so different from those of the colorful adventurers who stocked up
their wagons at my family's hardware emporium and headed west to
make their fortunes. Data mining is the new gold rush, and we were
there at first strike, dragging with us all our human frailties and
foibles. In this book's cast of characters you'll find ambition,
arrogance, jealousy, pride, fear, recklessness, anger, lust,
viciousness, greed, revenge, betrayal, and then some." "It is a
messy story. In the big picture, this could be called a narrative
of America since World War II. But in the micro telling, think of
it this way: The man who opened your lives to Big Data finally
bares his own."

Slaves achieved a degree of economic independence, producing food,
tending cash crops, raising livestock, manufacturing furnished
goods, marketing their own products, consuming and saving the
proceeds and bequeathing property to their descendants. The editors
of this volume contend that the legacy of slavery cannot be
understood without a full appreciation of the slaves' economy.
Rocket Age traces the history of spaceflight innovation from Robert
Goddard's early experiments with liquid fuel rockets, through World
War II and the work of Wernher von Braun and his German engineers,
on to the postwar improvements made by Sergei Korolev and his team
in the Soviet Union, and culminating with the historic Moon walk
made by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969. From
designers to engineers, and even communication specialists and the
builders who assembled these towering rockets, hundreds of
thousands of people worked on getting humans to the Moon, yet only
a few have been recognized for their contributions. George D.
Morgan sets the record straight by giving these forgotten figures
of space travel their due. The son of rocket scientists who worked
directly on NASA projects Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, Morgan gives
behind-the-scenes details on the famous missions, including a rare
interview with Dieter Huzel -Wernher von Braun's right-hand man and
a chief engineer on every major manned space program. Even the most
voracious readers of US space flight history will discover things
in this book that they have never read before. Rocket Age shines a
light on those that have for too long been left out of the picture
of the race to land on the Moon.

The make-up of the contemporary nation-state is increasingly
multiethnic and statistics show that in many cases no one group is
numerically the largest. Interethnic relations are given global
visibility by the media while much that happens among different
groups depends on context. Editors John D. Morgan (King's College,
London) and Pittu Laungani (South Bank and Manchester Universities,
England) have gathered leading international authorities to produce
Death and Bereavement Around the World the first of a five-volume
presentation and analysis of the ways different peoples experience
dying and grief. Effective bereavement care requires a knowledge of
an individual's physical, social, educational, and spiritual
existence since the expressions of grief and the needs that emerge
vary widely from one to another and are subject to past
experiences, cultural expectations, personal beliefs, and
relationships. An individual's identity comes from a sense of
personal uniqueness; solidarity with group ideals; continuity with
the past, present and future; and from the culture by which an
individual is raised or adopted. This first volume discusses the
major religious traditions of the world and how they help followers
deal with the fundamentals of life.

AN UNSUNG HEROINE OF THE SPACE AGE--HER STORY FINALLY
TOLD.
This is the extraordinary true story of America's first female
rocket scientist. Told by her son, it describes Mary Sherman
Morgan's crucial contribution to launching America's first
satellite and the author's labyrinthine journey to uncover his
mother's lost legacy--one buried deep under a lifetime of secrets
political, technological, and personal.
In 1938, a young German rocket enthusiast named Wernher von Braun
had dreams of building a rocket that could fly him to the moon. In
Ray, North Dakota, a young farm girl named Mary Sherman was
attending high school. In an age when girls rarely dreamed of a
career in science, Mary wanted to be a chemist. A decade later the
dreams of these two disparate individuals would coalesce in ways
neither could have imagined.
World War II and the Cold War space race with the Russians changed
the fates of both von Braun and Mary Sherman Morgan. When von Braun
and other top engineers could not find a solution to the repeated
failures that plagued the nascent US rocket program, North American
Aviation, where Sherman Morgan then worked, was given the
challenge. Recognizing her talent for chemistry, company management
turned the assignment over to young Mary.
In the end, America succeeded in launching rockets into space, but
only because of the joint efforts of the brilliant farm girl from
North Dakota and the famous German scientist. While von Braun went
on to become a high-profile figure in NASA's manned space flight,
Mary Sherman Morgan and her contributions fell into
obscurity--until now.
