Which Future? will change forever the possibilities you imagine for the future. Relentless climate disruption and severe societal inequities threaten Earth's well-being and humanity's future. But are chaotic, dystopian scenarios inevitable? Not if we recognize our collective choices as the very foundation of these destructive forces. Which Future? presents a bold, provocative alternative to conventional thinking, based on an imaginative synthesis of 21st century cognitive, cultural, and biological sciences. First, it explains how, because human reality is socially constructed, we have the power to control our own destiny. Second, it spells out the way humanity is interconnected with nature, so that our very survival depends on keeping nature healthy. Finally, it fleshes out the full worldview of "natural humanism," built on the values of true democracy and sound natural science, a vision of people interconnected with the planet and each other, and morally committed to everyone's well-being and fulfillment.

The Manual of Articulation Teaching, Part 1 is a book written by David Greene in 1894. The book is a comprehensive guide to teaching proper articulation, which is the ability to pronounce words clearly and distinctly. The first part of the book covers the basics of articulation, including the anatomy of the mouth and throat, the sounds of the English language, and common articulation errors. The book also provides a variety of exercises and drills that can be used to improve articulation skills. These exercises include tongue twisters, vowel and consonant drills, and exercises for specific sounds that are often mispronounced. In addition to the practical exercises, the book also includes theoretical explanations of articulation, such as the principles of phonetics and the psychology of speech. The author also provides tips for teachers on how to effectively teach articulation to students of all ages, including those with speech impediments or other communication disorders. Overall, the Manual of Articulation Teaching, Part 1 is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their articulation skills or teach others how to do so. It is a timeless classic that is still relevant today, over a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
