Art of Rachel and Terry Dodson
The Art of Rachel and Terry Dodson features many highlights from this exceptional team's 25-year career and shows how their art was created, including almost forty of their favorite comic-book covers. The pair also share insights into how eight personal pieces were executed, and they break down the making of a two-page Red One sequential comic story. The Dodsons reveal the stages of their creative process-including Terry's pencils, Rachel's inks and Terry's colors for each piece. Supporting commentary offers further insight, and two dozen covers are supplemented by Terry's initial sketches. The Dodsons also offer details about the tools they use and other tips for the aspiring artist. This is a unique way to see the steps that went into pieces the pair completed over the years for major publishers, as well as creator-owned and personal projects. One highlight is a section about the artwork on the cover of this book, broken down in great detail in twenty-seven stages that show its creation from concept to finish. All of the art in this collection was scanned or photographed from the originals, and there also are photos of the Dodsons at work in their studio. An introduction offers insight into how the pair became professionals and spans their full career to date. This book is a must for fans of Terry and Rachel Dodson as well as those interested in the creative process.

Rachel Carson was an environmentalist who studied the way the land, plants, and animals interact with each other, beginning when she was a child. She noticed that everything is connected, and all of nature must stay healthy for living things to thrive. When she realized that the chemicals people used outdoors were making plants, animals, and even other people sick, she began teaching others about the ecosystems, and how we must take care of them to keep the Earth balanced. Kids will see, through Rachel's curiosity and passion for all creatures, that even seemingly small choices can have big consequences on the world around them.

Aquinas and the Cry of Rachel

Aquinas and the Cry of Rachel

John F.X. Knasas

The Catholic University of America Press
2013
sidottu
In Aquinas and the Cry of Rachel, John F. X. Knasas explores Thomas Aquinas’s philosophical thinking about evil, and brings the results into discussion with the contemporary theodicies - philosophies of the problem of evil. It examines the relation of the human person and human nature to nature as a whole.Generally speaking, possible philosophical accounts for evil are two kinds: cosmological or personal. The cosmological account has evils rebounding to the perfection of creation. The personal account would have evils suffered rebounding to the good of the sufferer. Knasas argues that for Aquinas no philosophical resolution of these two kinds of accounts is possible. This argument is based upon Aquinas’s understanding of the human as an intellector of analogical being. Such an understanding establishes two truths. First, the human is by nature only a principal part of the created whole. Second, there is the philosophically discernible possibility of supernatural elevation by the creator.Hence, as far as philosophy can discern, evil may have a natural explanation or it may have a supernatural one. The Thomistic philosopher has no answer as to why evil exists because that philosopher discerns too many possible ones. In that respect, Aquinas’s thinking on evil is similar to his thinking about the philosophical knowledge of the biblical truth of the world’s creation in time. Such a creation is one metaphysical possibility among others. Some authors that Aquinas and the Cry of Rachel considers are Anthony Flew and Albert Camus, Jacques Maritain and Charles Journet, William Rowe, Marily McCord Adams, William Hasker, John Hick, David Ray Griffin, David Hume, Diogenes Allen, J. L. Mackie, Alvin Plantinga, Richard Swinburne, Bruce Reichenbach, Brian Davies, and Eleonore Stump.

Visualizing Social Science – Photographs by Rachel Tanur

Visualizing Social Science – Photographs by Rachel Tanur

Rachel Dorothy Tanur (1958-2002) wasn't trained as a social scientist, but she cared deeply about people and their lives and was an acute observer of living conditions and interactions. Her profound empathy for others and her commitment to helping those less fortunate than herself accompanied her on her travels and often guided her photography. She delighted in capturing the interaction between people and the artifacts they created and used, which, of course, are the raw materials of social science. In 1999 Tanur was diagnosed with cancer, and in response, she made several trips to Cuba, South and Central America, Africa, and Europe, as well as across the United States, before her death at the age of 43. The following year, Tanur's family and friends organized a memorial exhibit at Gilda's Club in New York called Cancer Journeys. The Social Science Research Council then opened its space for second show entitled Photographic Journeys. When Nikita Pokrovsky of Moscow's State University-Higher School of Economics experienced the SSRC exhibit, he was struck by the "human passion and compassion" of Tanur's work. He suggested combining the photographs with commentary, transforming the photos into useful tools for visual social science. These commentaries, written by an international group of social scientists, now accompany close to fifty of Rachel's photographs, and together the exhibit made its debut at the National Science Foundation in their Art of Science's 2006 show, Visualizing Social Science. This volume is an extension of that exhibition.
