... by us. The environmental studies program summarizes Dr. Gunderson's presentation: Humans and nature have co-evolved over millennia, but it has only been during the past century that human impacts have expanded to the planetary scale. As our access ... , so have the scales at which we humans have been able to manipulate and alter environments. As we enter the new millennia, notions such as sustainability, impending climate change and energy reserves expand our thoughts about the nature and types of ...

... to which anyone in society is entitled by virtue of money in their pockets are blessings that have been in creation over millennia by all of human society, created by countless individual efforts as well as by the various institutions that man has developed over millennia. The community of man has created them - we are ALL the freeloading benefactors of all of the technologies that our predecessors have created for us. For example, antibiotics that can ...

Bob Glushko has a very interesting post on the problem of Pluto, over at Doc or Die: For millennia we earthlings have had a notion of planet as a "wandering" celestial object, but because we only knew of planets in our own solar system, we could define "planet" by enumeration. Very few categories can be understood that way, that is, by making an exhaustive list of their members.

Roman law is replete with legal fictions, as are the normative frameworks within which each of the so-called Abrahamic religions-Judaism, Christianity and Islam-have functioned for millennia. Henry Maine famously explained, the elaboration of legal fictions under the legal traditions of Roman law. "The fact is in both cases that the law has been wholly changed; the fiction is that it remains what it always was" (Henry Maine, ...

... of the need to resurrect the constitution project in conjunction with a necessary (if cautious) expansion to the East (the recent EU´s Ostpolitik) and, interestingly enough, an expansion to the Mediterranean basin (perhaps in hopes of restoring, after several millennia, the virtues of the Roman Mare Nostrum to Italy). These three projects will no doubt serve as the main course of the upcoming meeting of the Member State heads next week. And rightly so. Though I suspect that the realities of the ...

... itself inside out." Our Solar System was thus certainly much hotter in the period of its origin than it is now. Indeed, our own hellishly volcanic planet Earth is generally in a state of cooling down, as the fires within it slowly die out over the millennia. So what accounts for current global warming? Hiram Perry at As Maine Goes suggests to us that the increased solar flares (as signs of increased solar activity) that we have seen in recent years are the actual cause of global warming and ...

... against it)? All such calculuses are very unhappy ones. Better by far to resolve the whole business with a comprehensive peace now. But such a peace is reachable only if mankind puts aside its historical unreasonableness and sheer stupidity, not to mention its millennia of Jew hating. Sadly, one is not hopeful. * This posting represents the personal views of Lawrence R. Velvel.

... -American interest, and a number of book clubs and other specialized selling channels do a thriving business by specializing in black themes and authors. In October, however, Florida-based author Nadine Aldred, who writes under the pen name "Millennia Black", filed a pro se lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan against her publisher, Penguin Group, on the grounds that Penguin (she alleges) insisted on steering her work into black-interest channels although she would rather have been marketed as ...
