Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Joseph Bimeler letter to Peter Kaufmann, June 8, 1844
No full textLetter from J. M. Bimeler (by Christian Weibel) to Peter Kaufmann, acknowledging receipt of Bibles and spelling books and ordering more Bibles. He repeats his statement from his letter of April 31, 1844, of a preference for Bibles that embrace the Apocrypha. The letter also requests a catalog of books on hand at Kaufmann's establishment.
Led by Joseph Bimeler (sometimes spelled Bäumeler) in 1817, a group of Lutheran separatists left Germany and eventually established the small community of Zoar in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The group formed the Society of Separatists of Zoar, in which each person donated his or her property to the community as a whole, and in exchange for their work, the society would provide for them. After decades of economic prosperity, the unity of the village declined, and by 1898 the Zoarites disbanded the society.
Peter Kaufmann was a German immigrant and intellectual. He arrived first in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1820; in 1826 he became professor of languages at the Harmony Society town of Economy, Pennsylvania. In 1827, Kaufmann led the establishment of Teutonia, a utopian community in Columbiana County, Ohio, and published its weekly titled "Teutonia: The Herald of a Better Time." Following this he moved to Canton, Ohio, where he became translator and editor of "Der Vaterlandsfreund und Geist der Zeit" under Solomon Sala. Additionally, Kaufmann wrote a number of books on education, as well as a German almanac. He was also an influential Democrat, counting President Van Buren among his friends, and knew Ralph Waldo Emerson
Threat of frequent fire and drought for the rare wattle Acacia williamsiana J. T. Hunter: an experimental burn highlights implications for fire management
No full textClimate change projections are predicting large increases in drought in Australia along with more frequent fires associated with the drier and warmer conditions (Cary 2002; Australian Greenhouse Office 2003, Pittock 2005). Plants in fire and drought-prone vegetation communities may respond to these disturbances by means of recovery mechanisms or survival strategies to persist in these environments after fire (Keith 1996; Bradstock & Kenny 2003) or drought (Davidson & Reid 1989; Morgan 2004). Resprouting from bud reserves under the bark, from lignotubers, basal stems or rhizomes are recovery responses of many Australian plant genera in communities subject to frequent fire (Keith 1996) and drought. However, despite an ability to recover from single fires, high-frequency fire can cause some species to decline or become locally extinct if resprouters do not have time to recover reproductive capacity. Repeated disturbances can deplete a plant's reserves and soil seed stores and the regenerative capacity of vegetation may be affected by a combination of fire and drought (Keith 1996; Lawler et al. 1998; Marod et al. 2004; van Nieuwstadt & Sheil 2005), especially if inter-fire periods are short and droughts frequent. Croft et al. (2007) proposed a model that predicts the decline of several rare and threatened plants, including the rare wattle, 'Acacia williamsiana' J. T. Hunter, subject to the combined impact of fire and drought. They concluded from observations of wattle survival after a wildfire followed by drought that fire history should be adjusted to include severe drought in formulating fire management guidelines for sclerophyll vegetation. Here we examined the survival of plants from the same population of 'A. williamsiana' subject to a second experimental fire 5 years after a wildfire and intervening drought. The results indicate that caution is required with fire management in communities with this rare plant
Genetic homogeneity and circum-Antarctic distribution of two benthic shrimp species in the Southern Ocean, Chorismus antarcticus and Nematocarcinus lanceopes
No full textDuring the last years, molecular studies revealed significant population differentiation and cryptic species within various benthic and pelagic marine Antarctic taxa. This is unexpected due to the lack of obvious barriers to gene flow and strong current systems. Using mitochondrial (COI, 16S rDNA) and nuclear (28S rDNA: D2) gene fragments, we tested whether two circum-Antarctic benthic shrimps with planktotrophic larvae, Chorismus antarcticus and Nematocarcinus lanceopes, show patterns of regional differentiation. For both species, the 16S and the 28S fragment were invariant. However, for COI we found 24 different haplotypes for Chorismus antarcticus and 54 for Nematocarcinus lanceopes. No significant differentiation was observed among populations or regions. Furthermore, we found signatures of a population expansion in the late Pleistocene hinting at an impact of large-scale glaciations in particular on the shallow-water shrimp Chorismus antarcticus, supporting a (re)colonization and demographic expansion of this shrimp species in response to climate oscillation.Electronic supplementary material: The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00227-010-1451-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users
Using vignettes as self-reflexivity in narrative research of problematised history pedagogy
No full textThis article focuses on the use of vignettes as an emergent dimension of narrative research writing. The author draws on doctoral research that problematised history curriculum and pedagogy with pre-service teachers in the context of secondary teacher education in New Zealand. Pedagogic crossings of history education sites, and negotiation of disciplinary boundaries were storied in the narrative research. A lived experience of curriculum continuity and change had shaped a critical pedagogy orientation in the author's theorising and practice. This featured a self-reflexivity of pedagogic identities including those of student, practitioner, and researcher. The narrative writing was conceptualised as a layered bricolage of academic socialisation, engagement with theory, and practitioner work. Accordingly, it proved unworkable to distance the author's lived experience and pedagogic identities from the narrative, for these lay at the heart of the research. Therefore, the styling of vignettes became a creative way to story self-reflexivity within academic writing. Vignettes were conceived as inside stories that recalled pedagogic voices and evoked themes of curriculum disturbance as transgression, and desire as re-imagined history curriculum
Towards a Broader View of Hunter-Gatherer Sharing (Book review)
No full textChapters in Towards a Broader View of Hunter-Gatherer Sharing vary in topic and in quality. Three themes run through many of the chapters in this coedited volume. Foragers share more than food, and one focus is on sharing other goods, including ones that are not material. At times, this expanded picture of sharing becomes unhelpfully metaphorical: “shared selves” just seems to be a florid metaphor for the intimate character of forager lives. But there are probing chapters on sharing information, particularly those by Jerome Lewis, Alan J. Osborn and Robert K. Hitchcock, and Gilbert B. Tostevin.No Full Tex

Ong's Thought," I highlight the three volumes of the American Indian hunter-gatherer-forager Medicine Doctor Paul Peter Buffalo's teachings titled Gabe-Bines: "Forever Flying Bird": Teachings of Paul Peter Buffalo (c.1900-1977), transcribed from Paul Buffalo's tape recordings over the last twelve years of his life, edited, and annotated by the University of Minnesota Duluth anthropologist Timothy G. Roufs (born in 1943; Ph.D. in anthropology, University of Minnesota, 1971). In addition, I highlight the work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J.
