Environmental Ethics and Uncertainty: Wrestling with Wicked Problems

This book offers a multidisciplinary environmental approach to ethics in response to the contemporary challenge of climate change caused by globalized economics and consumption. This book synthesizes the incredible complexity of the problem and the necessity of action in response, highlighting the unambiguous problem facing humanity in the 21st century, but arguing that it is essential to develop an ethics housed in ambiguity in response. Environmental Ethics and Uncertainty is divided into theoretical and applied chapters, with the theoretical sections engaging in dialogue with scholars from a variety of disciplines, while the applied chapters offer insight from 20th century activists who demonstrate and/or illuminate the theory, including Martin Luther King, Rachel Carson, and Frank Lloyd Wright. This book is written for scholars and students in the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies and the environmental humanities, and will appeal to courses in religion, philosophy, ethics, politics, and social theory.

Kino-Eye: The Writings of Dziga Vertov

Dziga Vertov was one of the greatest innovators of Soviet cinema. The radical complexity of his work―in both sound and silent forms―has given it a central place within contemporary theoretical inquiry. Vertov's writings, collected here, range from calculated manifestos setting forth his heroic vision of film's potential to dark ruminations on the inactivity forced upon him by the bureaucratization of the Soviet state.

O'Brien (The Next to Die) lashes out against religious hypocrisy once again in this slight but spooky tale of a serial killer who makes martyrs out of his victims. The book opens when a love-starved older woman returns to a seedy motel for one final tryst with her mysterious lover and is stabbed to death in a bathroom scene reminiscent of Psycho. The narrative then switches to a spring morning at Our Lady of Sorrows Seminary, where Father Jack Murphy, a seminary spiritual advisor, pulls the body of his favorite young charge, John Costello, from the lake. Could the two watery deaths be related?
