To Whom It May Concern is a collection of simple, direct, and classically crafted poems that remind us of the brevity and fragility of life while also celebrating our brief moment in time. All living creatures have one thing in common: someday, they will no longer be living creatures. At what point in life does humanity sense this highest of truths?While we know not when, where, how, or even why, we are the only creature possessing the knowledge that death must eventually occur. Since we cannot fight the passage of our lives from young to old, we must accept that this is the only way life can

First published in 1983, The Ethics of Environmental Concern has become a classic in the relatively new field of environmental ethics. Examining traditional attitudes toward nature, and the degree to which these attitudes enable us to cope with modern ecological problems, Robin Attfield looks particularly at the Judeo-Christian heritage of belief in humankind’s dominion, the tradition of stewardship, and the more recent belief in progress to determine the extent to which these attitudes underlie ecological problems and how far they embody resources adequate for combating such problems.

"God intends our care of the creation to reflect our love for the Creator." from the foreword by John Stott For the theologians and scientists who are the contributors to this book, the care of creation is crucial to human survival and a supreme test of the reality of Christian faith. Such concern is not just the selfish interest of the developed North. Nor is it a minority enthusiasm, peculiar to bird-watchers and tree-huggers. Rather, it stems from what should be a communion of worship between the human and natural worlds. There is now a belated and increasingly evident humility a

This is the third in the series of volumes of essays that Robin Fox began with Reproduction and Succession and continued with The Challenge of Anthropology. Fox who has been described as "the conscience of anthropology" continues to have the same aim: to expose readers in the social sciences and beyond to the consequences of "the biosocial orientation," and to assess the "state of the art" in anthropology in particular and the social sciences in general. As always he encompasses a wide range of topics: Why do bureaucracies fail? Are we really an innovative animal? Is nationalism a purely c
