The impetus behind this collection of original essays is the tension between the aesthetic emphasis on stylistics in science fiction and fantasy writing and the critical limitations imposed by prevailing literary theory. From a variety of perspectives, the contributors show how a new, or expanded, set of methods and models can enrich critical exchange within the genre and between it and other types of fiction. The focus of the book is not entirely on critical restraints but also on the genre's robustly subversive, creative drive--its unwillingness or inability to pause for critical validation. The essays examine the proliferation of stylistic acts and experiments in science fiction and fantasy writing as assess the genre's revolutionary qualities: its reordering of narrative priorities, inversion of consecrated categories, and elevation of "minor" devices.

With an interdisciplinary approach, Edwards utilizes literature, aesthetics, world religions, and continental philosophy as avenues into the theology of natural beauty. This is an epistemological look at our aesthetically charged knowing of God through nature. Emphasizing our embodied experience of the world, Edwards examines the phenomenon of perceptual beauty, while questioning traditional notions of God's metaphysical "beauty." Drawing upon Michael Polanyi's philosophy of science, Edwards explores the human aesthetic and religious interface with the natural world. This philosophical approach is then linked to the poetic: Polanyi's "tacit knowledge" and Jean-Luc Marion's "saturated phenomena" give support to Wordsworth's "pregnant vision" of the natural world. This approach culminates in a re-envisaging of John Ruskin's typology of natural beauty: Ruskin's vision of the world can be adapted toward an understanding of natural revelation. Edwards brings this Romantic theology back across the Atlantic in dialogue with American nature writers and the uniquely American experience of wilderness and "frontier."

The History of Creation is a book by German scientist Ernst Haeckel, which deals with issues of creation and evolution under influence of Charles Darwin. The book did a great deal to further explain "Darwinism" and widens the theory to the world. Haeckel argued that human evolution consisted of precisely 22 phases, the 21st – the "missing link" – being a halfway step between apes and humans. He even formally named this missing link Pithecanthropus alalus, translated as "ape man without speech"

In Ernst Haeckel's groundbreaking work, The History of Creation (Vol.1&2), he explores the complexities of evolution and the origins of life in a comprehensive and detailed manner. Haeckel's literary style combines scientific rigor with captivating storytelling, making this book accessible to both scholars and general readers. Written in the late 19th century, The History of Creation provides unique insights into the scientific debates and discoveries of the time, contributing to the development of evolutionary theory and shaping the way we understand biology today. Haeckel's meticulous research and clear explanations make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the study of life on Earth. Ernst Haeckel, a renowned biologist and philosopher, was a key figure in the promotion of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in Germany. His extensive studies in zoology and comparative anatomy informed his writing, and The History of Creation reflects his passion for advancing scientific knowledge. Haeckel's work was influential in both scientific and philosophical circles, earning him recognition as a leading thinker of his time. I highly recommend The History of Creation by Ernst Haeckel to anyone interested in the origins of life, evolution, and the history of scientific thought. This book offers a rich and informative exploration of these topics, presented in a compelling and engaging narrative that will captivate readers from start to finish.

A comprehensive resource that will prove invaluable to fashion historians, this book presents a detailed exploration of the breadth of visually arresting, consumer-driven styles that have emerged in America since the 20th century. What are the origins of highly specific denim fashions, such as bell bottoms, skinny jeans, and ripped jeans? How do mass media and popular culture influence today's street fashion?
