Imagine in your next life you might be in any random situation (ignorant, poor, unhealthy, living with war or a mentally-ill family member, etc.) and you can’t predict it. What changes would this make you want in our systems of information, economics, community, government, and religion? If you decide to work for one of these changes now, which should you pursue? It might seem prudent to focus on one in isolation, but it wouldn’t be enough. Other systems could work against it. And, though you might initially get more allies than if you talked about other systems, you could lose those allies if they began to suspect your overall vision conflicted with theirs. By looking at how changes in many systems fit together from as many perspectives as possible, you might be able to reach deeper agreement with others on a big-picture vision. Then, you could move the components forward together with greater trust, watching each system changing and facilitating change in the others. That’s what this book, first written in 1990 yet amazingly relevant, tries to do, both in essay and in novel form. The essay discusses the internet, free enterprise enhanced by universal basic income (UBI), community centers with publicly-funded workers providing universal basic services at UBI-affordable prices, world government, and a religion that helps people identify with the plights of others. The novel tells an inspiring human story of a couple as they marry and become grandparents while helping to develop these systems. This second edition has a new foreword to help integrate these ideas into the real world. It will be wonderful if any of the ideas in this book stimulate you. Even better, this book may help you develop a cohesive worldview, perhaps even one you can share with others in moving our world forward.
Plein Airs and Graces examines the extraordinary life of George Collingridge de Tourcey, a landscape painter of the late nineteenth century, just ahead of the Australian impressionists. When he emigrated from France to Australia he grew passionate about the possibilities of his new country, and worked tirelessly to contribute to it - not least for his Discovery of Australia (1895), in which on the evidence of ancient maps he argued controversially for Portuguese and Hispanic pre-discovery of Australia.
The Night Land William Hope Hodgson - The Night Land is a horror/fantasy novel by English writer William Hope Hodgson, first published in 1912. As a work of fantasy it belongs to the Dying Earth subgenre. Hodgson also published a much shorter version of the novel, entitled The Dream of X (1912).William Hope Hodgson was, like his contemporaries Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen, one of the most important, prolific, and influential fantasists of the early twentieth century. His dark and unsettling short stories and novels were shaped in large part by personal experience (a professional merchant mariner for much of his life, many of Hodgsons tales are set at sea), and his work evokes a disturbing sense of the amorphous and horrific unknown.While his nautical adventure fiction was very popular during his lifetime, the supernatural and cosmic horror he is most remembered for only became well known after his death, mainly due to the efforts of writers like H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith, who often praised his work and cited it as an influence on their own. By the latter half of the twentieth century, it was only his weird fiction that remained in print, and his vast catalog of non-supernatural stories was extremely hard to find.Night Shade Bookss five-volume series presents all of Hodgsons unique and timeless fiction. Each volume contains one of Hodgson's novels, along with a selection of thematically-linked short fiction, including a number of works reprinted for the first time since their original publication. The fourth book of the five-volume set, The Night Land and Other Romances, collects all of his romances and womens fiction, as well as the entirety of his classic 1912 dying-earth novel The Night Land.
