Igniting A Revolution: Voices in Defense of the Earth
Steven Best & Anthony J. Nocella, II

Global warming, acid rain, deforestation, air and water pollution are but a few of the overwhelming indicators that the earth's health is worsening. For decades, environmental groups have been resisting the destructive trends set by industry and government, but as the social and political climate has changed, popular protest movements have become less and less effective. As the earth's situation worsens, those opposing its destruction have out of necessity become increasingly militant. Corporate and federal properties have been vandalized, set ablaze-even bombed-and the government is meeting this new brand of environmental militance with an increasingly heavy hand.

Whether you're drawn by frustration with environmental strategies that, to date, have been ineffective against this growing ecological crisis, or simply by curiosity (Who are these people? Why are they doing this? What do they hope to gain?), Igniting a Revolution offers a fascinating and compelling look at the emerging movement of revolutionary environmentalism. Includes essays by Marilyn Buck, Robert Jensen, John Zerzan, Ashanti Alston, Jeffrey "Free" Luers, Derrick Jensen, Ann Hansen, and a preface by Bron Taylor.

Terrorists or Freedom Fighters? Reflections on the Liberation of Animals
Steven Best & Anthony J. Nocella, II


The first anthology of writings on the history, ethics, politics and tactics of the Animal Liberation Front, Terrorists or Freedom Fighters? features both academic and activist perspectives and offers powerful insights into this international organization and its position within the animal rights movement. Calling on sources as venerable as Thomas Aquinas and as current as the Patriot Act—and, in some cases, personal experience—the contributors explore the history of civil disobedience and sabotage, and examine the philosophical and cultural meanings of words like “terrorism,” “democracy” and “freedom,” in a book that ultimately challenges the values and assumptions that pervade our culture. Contributors include Robin Webb, Rod Coronado, Ingrid Newkirk, Paul Watson, Karen Davis, Bruce Friedrich and others.

The Postmodern Turn
Steven Best and Douglas Kellner

This book presents a groundbreaking analysis of the emergence of a postmodern paradigm in theory, the arts, science, and politics. From the authors of Postmodern Theory, the much-acclaimed introduction to key postmodern thinkers and themes, The Postmodern Turn ranges over diverse intellectual and artistic terrain--from architecture, painting, literature, music, and politics, to the physical and biological sciences. Critically engaging postmodern theory and culture, Steven Best and Douglas Kellner illuminate our momentous transition between a modernist past and a future struggling to define itself.

The Postmodern Adventure: Science, Technology, and Cultural Studies at the Third Millennium
Steven Best and Douglas Kellner


Massive geopolitical shifts and dramatic developments in computerization and biotechnology are heralding the transformation from the modern to the postmodern age. We are confronted with altered modes of work, communication, and entertainment; new postindustrial and political networks; novel approaches to warfare; genetic engineering; and even cloning. This compelling book explores the challenges to theory, politics, and human identity that we face on the threshold of the third millennium. It follows on the success of Best and Kellner's two previous books, Postmodern Theory--acclaimed as the best critical introduction to the field--and The Postmodern Turn, which provides a powerful mapping of postmodern developments in the arts, politics, science, and theory. In The Postmodern Adventure, Best and Kellner analyze a broad array of literary, cultural, and political phenomena from fiction, film, science, and the Internet, to globalization and the rise of a transnational image culture. They use the best of modern and postmodern perspectives to illuminate contemporary life and to strive for a just and viable future.

The Politics of Historical Vision: Marx, Foucault, Habermas
Steven Best


Providing an important contribution to current controversies regarding history, social theory, politics, and the Foucault Habermas debates, this work offers a detailed comparison of the historical visions of both Foucault and Habermas, using Marx as a modernist contrast. The book clearly illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of each thinker's theory for the productive analysis of history and society, relating the work of each to current debates over modern and postmodern theory.

___________________

Postmodern Theory: Critical Interrogations
Steven Best and Douglas Kellner


In this timely volume, the authors systematically analyze postmodern theory to evaluate its relevance for critical social theory and radical politics today.

Best and Kellner provide:
* An introduction and critique of the work of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Baudrillard, Lyotard, Laclau and Mouffe, and Jameson, which assess the varying contributions and limitations of postmodern theory
* A discussion of postmodern feminist theory and the politics of identity
* A systematic study of the origin of the discourse of the postmodern in historical, sociological, cultural, and philosophical studies.

The authors claim that while postmodern theory provides insights into contemporary developments, it lacks adequate methodological and political perspectives to provide a critical social theory and radical politics for the present age.

SOL INVICTUS Pictures, Images and Photos

Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was the Roman state-supported sun god created by the emperor Aurelian in 274 and continued, overshadowing other Eastern cults in importance until the abolition of paganism under Theodosius I. By far the earliest appearance of an inscription linking the unconquered emperor with the sun is the legend on a bronze phalera dated by its style to the

TRIIIIIIICCK OOORR TRRREEEEEAAATT!!!



We do have a barbarian at the gate, a demon lurking in the ground, frozen there for eons, now being thawed and released into the living world, where it will roast life alive. If you want to really scare yourself silly, watch this 50 minute video in one go. Turn off the light, and the phone..

One thing more about this demon. We have only 3 years to stop it, or kiss our children's future good bye.

Hi Steve,

Sending you hugs and love,

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by..
Right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by
How clever we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun<b

People who torture and kill animals are clearly psychopaths. Many
rapists and child molesters-their first victims of violence was
oftentimes a cat or kitten. Please sign Petition to make stronger animal
cruelty laws for your State.  In this Petition contains many scientific
and psychiatric publications citations proving that violence against
humans often begun with animal cruelty especially in the area of
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. This petition can apply for ANY State.

Hi Steve Best

10/22 Thurs. of the stray black dog, the one whose best friend, another black male dog was murdered

10/22 Thurs. of the stray black dog, the one whose best friend, another black male dog was murdered

Update: Stray black dog who's friend was murdered by hit & run truck

Pictures I took today 10/22 Thurs. of the stray black dog whose best friend, another black male dog was purposely run over & killed by someone in a white truck couple months ago in front of me & this dog who lost the only living thing he ever let near him. I took the pics through my front window screen, he's a lot further than it looks.

He's eating a bowl of kibbles & bits in front my house, always takes the food out the bowl & puts it on the ground before eating it. We built a cover over the bowl so the food doesn't spoil in rain, still won't come in garage to eat.

Little guy's gone underground, we think he stays under a small bridge that goes over a running stream that's partly on our property. He still hangs out in the cow pasteur across the road too. My husband says there's small hollow caves, nooks & crannies where he can protect himself from bad weather under the bridge.

He's not skinny anymore & is eating the food we put out for him daily. We still try to coax him but he runs like a wild coyote, he's become wilder.

My friends here followed this story since the other dog
