One of the more contentious questions to emerge into scientific prominence has been whether life is prevalent in the cosmos. Although there are many factors that shape this debate, one of the most overlooked yet crucial rests on the temporal organization in biotic systems. In this work the author investigates the compatibility and incompatibility between the thermodynamic arrow of time indicative of abiotic structure, and the temporal organization so characteristic of biotic processes and uses it to explore the origins of life here and elsewhere. Far from a minor problem, the author argues that the temporal organization in biotic systems plays a key role in shaping not only the prevalence of life, but also in grounding the scientific theories we use to explain the universe and the moral concepts that will anchor our exploration of the larger cosmos.

Something's Rising collects oral histories from a diverse group of individuals from Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Virginia who are fighting mountaintop removal, an ecologically devastating form of coal mining. Taken together, these voices stand as a testament of what it means to be an Appalachian and demonstrate the value of preserving a culture's history and spirit through the stories of its people. The authors have chosen twelve unique voices including Jean Ritchie, the "mother of folk," who doesn't let her eighty-six years slow down her fighting spirit; Judy Bonds, a tough-talking coal miner's daughter; Kathy Mattea, the beloved country singer who believes that cooperation is the key to the battle; Larry Bush, who doesn't back down even when speeding coal trucks are used to intimidate him; and Denise Giardina, the West Virginia writer who ran for governor to bring attention to the mountaintop removal issue. Written and edited by native sons of the mountains, these riveting, personal stories are captured in an original and highly readable book.
