With the rise of religious fundamentalism worldwide, express disbelief in God(s) has become a taboo. In the last few years, however, atheism has witnessed a resurgence. This book contributes to the reassertion of "godlessness" as a philosophical and moral stance. Part One includes historic defenses of atheism (from Baron d'Holbach, Feuerbach, Nietzsche, Marx, Emma Goldman, Bakunin, Paine, Russell, and Freud), while contributions from contemporary nonbelievers from the political and arts communities make up Part Two.Andrea Levy has published widely on the ecology and peace movements.Dimitri Roussopoulos is an author and editor whose most recent work documents the New Left.

The Rise Of Cities

The Rise Of Cities

Dimitri Roussopoulos

Black Rose Books
2017
nidottu
The year 2007 marks a new epoch when the majority of human beings on the planet live in cities. What this work explores is how cities coalesce, develop, and thrive, and how they remake themselves for better or worse. The parasitic relationship cities have with nature, the webs of trade and immigration they rely upon to survive, how they feed and water themselves, and how they dispose of waste are examined in a sweeping exploration of what the city is. This book will stand alongside other comparable major studies for many years to come.What is offered is an explanation of cities in crisis. Dimitrios Roussopoulos demonstrates why the state has failed--and must fail--to end the urban crisis. What is analyzed is the spatial structure of the metropolis, metropolitan governance, urban redevelopment policies, housing problems, grass roots activism, the fiscal log jam of cities, and urban planning. How and why decisions are made, and who stands behind them, are questions raised and linked together in a historical perspective unique in studies of the city. The city is the foundation of democracy and citizenship, yet it is widely misunderstood as a geo-political space prone to playing a growing role in shaping the twenty-first century.Dimitrios Roussopoulos is a well-known urban-focused activist. He has worked in the field for thirty years, in several cities, organizing grassroots democratic opposition to mega urban development and the destruction of neighborhoods. Through his public speaking and writings, he has pioneered urban democratization and a new definition of citizenship in the city.

Political Ecology – System Change Not Climate Change

Political Ecology – System Change Not Climate Change

Dimitri Roussopoulos

Black Rose Books
2018
nidottu
"System change not climate change " This cry reverberated throughout the streets of Paris during 2015's heated COP21 climate negotiations. It was as much a demand as it was an indictment of the failure of existing political institutions to respond adequately to our world's ecological crisis. In an era of slow motion apocalypse, with 3,500 international environmental agreements to date, where did everything go wrong? In this new and greatly expanded edition of his 1991 classic Political Ecology, Dimitri Roussopoulos delves into the history of environmentalism to explain the failure of the state management of the ecological crisis. He explores civil society's various past responses and the prospects for channeling environmentalist aspirations into political alternatives, emphasizing the ideas of social ecology and the central role of democratic neighborhoods and cities in developing alternatives. Ecologists, Roussopoulos argues, aim further than simply protecting the environment--they call for new communities, new lifestyles, and a new way of doing politics. This US edition also includes a new preface analyzing the implications of Trump's presidency for climate politics and an extensive new conclusion analyzing the Paris Accord. Revised, expanded, and updated, Political Ecology is a classic that provides an essential, timely history of the environmental movement now when we need it most.

A Description of Moldavia

A Description of Moldavia

Dimitrie Cantemir

Histria LLC
2022
sidottu
Written by one of the country's most renowned rulers, A Description of Moldavia provides unique insight into the geography, history, economy, ethnography, culture, and traditions of the principality. Born to a noble family, the author, Dimitrie Cantemir, ruled as Prince of Moldavia on two occasions (March-April 1693 and 1710-1711). He was a famed statesman, philosopher, and scholar. Having sided with Peter the Great and Russia in a war against the Ottoman Empire to free his land from Turkish domination, Cantemir was driven into exile. The end of his second reign marked the beginning of the Phanariot regime in the Romanian principalities. Cantemir wrote his Description of Moldavia (Descriptio Moldaviae) in 1716 at the request of the Royal Academy in Berlin, of which he was a member. Originally composed in Latin, it circulated in manuscript during his lifetime but was not published as a book until 1771 when a German-language edition appeared in print. Cantemir's manuscript included a map (reproduced in the present edition), the first real map of the country, containing geographical detail. The book provides a wealth of information about the country's natural resources, political organization, customs and traditions, history, religion, and language. This deluxe edition of this classic work marks the first time A Description of Moldavia has appeared in the English language. An introduction and notes by Dr. A.K. Brackob, a noted specialist on Romanian and East European history, enhance this valuable historical resource.

Computational Techniques

Computational Techniques

Dimitri Gidaspow; Veeraya Jiradilok

Nova Science Publishers Inc
2010
sidottu
Book & CD-ROM. This text has been used in the form of class notes taught to graduate and senior undergraduate students in chemical and mechanical engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology for the last three decades. The computer codes, particularly the Navier-Stokes equation solvers, have been continually updated by several Ph.D. students over the last decade. The theory of fluidisation and multiphase flow is based on the new paradigm that emerged in the 1980s as granular flow. Commercial CFD codes, such as FLUENT, already use this theory. However, this theory is not yet complete. Hence the programs described in this text can be easily updated as new theory is developed. For example, the codes can be extended to anisotropic and multi-size particle flow based on the emerging kinetic theories. Hence this book should be useful to research engineers in industry, to graduate students and to professors teaching a first course in computational techniques. In this book the authors illustrate how their code as well as the commercial codes can be used for the design of green energy technology processes.

Race, Ethnicity & Impaired Driving

Race, Ethnicity & Impaired Driving

Dimitri Maillet

Nova Science Publishers Inc
2014
nidottu
The racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population is rapidly evolving. This is of substantial importance to traffic safety specialists because there is extensive evidence that the risk of involvement in traffic crashes varies significantly across racial and ethnic groups. Protective and risk factors affecting some groups may not be relevant to others. To be effective, safety programs and educational messages to curb such risks need to be sensitive to the nation's growing cultural diversity. This book reviews the state of knowledge of alcohol-impaired driving among major racial and ethnic groups living in the United States. Although it focuses primarily on impaired driving, it also covers the precursor issue of the differences in ethnic drinking practices. Finally, this book explores the meaning of key concepts that define the problem of the meaning of race, ethnicity, and acculturation; how these concepts are associated with health-related disparities; and how they relate to impaired driving.

A vivid love letter to the 1980s and one woman's struggle to overcome the challenges of immigration. It's 1986, and Muna Heddad is in a bind. She and her son have moved to Montreal, leaving behind a civil war filled with bad memories in Lebanon. She had plans to find work as a French teacher, but no one in Quebec trusts her to teach the language. She needs to start making money, and fast. The only work Muna can find is at a weight-loss center as a hotline operator. All day, she takes calls from people responding to ads seen in magazines or on TV. On the phone, she's Mona, and she's quite good at listening. These strangers all have so much to say once someone shows interest in them--marriages gone bad, parents dying, isolation, personal inadequacies. Even as her daily life in Canada is filled with invisible barriers at every turn, at the office Muna is privy to her clients' deepest secrets. Dimitri Nasrallah has written a vivid elegy to the 1980s, the years he first moved to Canada, bringing the era's systemic challenges into the current moment through this deeply endearing portrait of struggle, perseverance, and bonding.

Apostle to Zaire

Apostle to Zaire

Dimitri Aslanidis; Monk Damascene Grigoriatis

Uncut Mountain Press
2024
pokkari
In every generation there are those few exceptional souls who rise out of the conventionality of social life to become path-finders to the catholicity and otherworldliness of Christianity. Heroic and uncompromising, they imitate Abraham and become exiles and martyrs for Christ, following Him with loving exactness and mountain-moving faith. They "hate their life in this world" in order to keep it - and that of their neighbor's - for eternity; and to successive generations they become models to imitate, witnessing, long after their departure, to the honour the Father bestows on those who serve Him. Such a one was Blessed Father Cosmas of Grigoriou, enlightener of Zaire.The book is divided into two parts: In part one, we encounter the life, last days, letters and the writings of an Athonite ascetic, a modern model of mission, an apostle to the heart of Africa and an upholder, defender and conveyer of the life-giving Tradition. In part two, we read accounts of miracles and the battle with magic, interventions of the Saints and conversions of sinners, missionary adventures and baptismal testimonies. A unique biography of a contemporary missionary and holy monk of Mount Athos and a practical introduction to contemporary Orthodox Missiology.

The Stained Glass Curtain

The Stained Glass Curtain

Dimitri Sala

Xulon Press
2024
pokkari
The relationship between Catholics and Evangelicals is a story of power plays and politics, misunderstandings and bitterness. Battle lines from past wars--sometimes literal wars--are still drawn, even if only in the realm of ideas and beliefs. This is the inherited filter through which each group is taught to view the other. And this filter has become an invisible self-defeating barrier; thus, in a post-Iron Curtain era, Christians still maintain a "Stained Glass Curtain" of mutual suspicion and mistrust. Addressing the claim that Catholicism preaches another gospel, Father Dimitri Sala demonstrates in The Stained Glass Curtain that many -- even Catholics -- don't know official Catholic teachings When it comes to the basic message of salvation, that teaching, and the preaching of Evangelicals, do not differ. Combining his own testimony, authoritative Catholic sources, and passages from the Bible, he boldly invites you to learn the truth and embrace the reality of our common heritage. The book has been given the Imprimatur of the Catholic Church. An Imprimatur is an official declaration of ecclesiastical authority that the material in the publication is free from doctrinal and moral error. Fr. Dimitri is a Franciscan priest, ordained in 1984. Based in Chicago, he is not the pastor of a local church, but has a full-time apostolic ministry combined with a life of prayer. Fr. Dimitri has conducted retreats, days of reflection, apostolic leaders' workshops, healing services, missions and revivals, and in the past, a summer street ministry. With his trained team he has ministered to clergy and laity of many ethnicities, ages, and denominations. He has also been a featured speaker in diocesan, regional, national, and international conferences, and has appeared on Christian media. The ministry has also extended itself through publication of a pamphlet, and articles on evangelization and ecumenism themes. All his life as a friar, Fr. Dimitri has had relationships with Christians of various denominations; this eventually led him to involvement in different countries with reconciliation efforts between Evangelical Protestants and Catholics. His book is the product of these years of "Crossing the Evangelical-Catholic Divide to Find Our Common Heritage". More information can be found on the book's website, www.TheStainedGlassCurtain.com.
