Bradley Books

I have used this book in my Environmental Biology classes at Stanly Community College. It is well written, but at a reading level not beyond that of most high school graduates. It covers basic knowledge and current environmental problems. I really enjoy the Global Perspective sections. I highly recommend this book as a beginning environmental science book.

The author and photographer of this new guide to the Ephrata Cloister show their love and understanding of this unusual historic site. John Bradley does a wonderful job of capturing tons of history and the flavor of this religious experiment in a few, well-crafted words. The photographer, Craig A. Benner, obviously selected only the best of a lifetime of great photographs that take you to all corners of the Cloister and capture the distinctive look of the medieval-style architecture and peaceful atmosphere. There's nothing in my extensive collection of books on this site that captures the experience of this unique place as well as this book. Short of a visit there's nothing I'd recommend more... and then, the book would serve you well with it's map and site guide.

Easy way to learn basics of macro and microeconomy. One-color version of Essentials of Economics

Dr. Kuhns book is written in laymen's terms and is easy to understand. It starts with the basics in Homeopathy and explains the concept of using this alternative medicine for one's health. In contrast, with so many other books out there using their own various Homeopthic combinations, this book takes one through the actual homeopathic single remedies and how they are used for various illness and disease. I would recommend this CD-ROM, book for anyone that keeps an alternative medicine library.

When Francis Herbert Bradley published this work in 1876, utilitarianism was riding high in British ethical philosophy. As he notes in his preface, Bradley was not trying to develop a complete system of moral philosophy or even to determine what is the proper subject matter of that field. His purpose was critical, and his target was utilitarianism.

However, his work is probably more positive than he gave it credit for. While it is undoubtedly not a full moral philosophy, he at least sketches the outlines of an ethic of self-fulfillment that does not collapse into either amorality or tautology.

Utilitarianism has moved on since Bradley's time and its arguments and doctrines have not stood altogether still. But Bradley's critiques of hedonism and its inability to provide a rule of life are still trenchant; his dissection of "duty for duty's sake" should still have the power to make Kantians squirm a bit; and his essay on "My Station and Its Duties" is surely a classic of British moral philosophy.

The meat of Bradley's own positive case, though, is presented in the final two chapters, on "Ideal Morality" and "Selfishness and Self-Sacrifice." It would be a mistake to regard "My Station and Its Duties" as Bradley's final word on ethics, for he did not thus regard it himself. On the contrary, in his closing chapters he sketches a view of the moral life as a life in which one's "good self" is fulfilled by overcoming one's "bad self" -- the former answering to our "true being" and the latter incapable of being desired for its own sake. And this "good self" is not simply or fully exhausted in our practical obligations.

Bradley did not allow the book to be republished for many years after it had gone out of print, but in later life he did begin to make notes toward a reissue. This reissue was published in 1927, some three years after Bradley's death, with the help of H.H. Joachim; this edition, which is the one here made available, incorporates Bradley's rough notes as bracketed additions.

A hugely useful work on a long-neglected area. A must for both local history collections and the "curious adult" alike! Looking forward to more offerings from the authors. Kudos!

The books are great, but do not be in such a hurry that you so not realize that there are THREE authors McCaffery (Crystal Line), Weis (Short Stories) and Bradley (Witchlight), if you already have some of these as I did you will feel that Amazon should list the books.

The Farm As Natural Habitat: Reconnecting Food Systems With Ecosystems edited by Dana L. Jackson (Associate Director of the Land Stewardship Project, White Bear Lake, Minnesota) and Laura L. Jackson (Associate Professor of Biology, University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa) is a thoughtful, extensively researched and meticulously presented compendium of essays by a variety of learned and expert authors focusing on the interaction between agriculture and the environment. Emphatically rejecting the idea that "ecological sacrifice zones" are required to feed the hungry, The Farm As Natural Habitat reaches out to explore how agriculture and biodiversity can exist in harmony. A first-rate, eye-opening book for farmers around the world, The Farm As Natural Habitat is a strongly urged addition to academic reference collections (especially for agricultural colleges), governmental policy makers and department of natural resources/farm bureau administrative personnel, and the personal reading list for anyone engaged in agriculture ranging from the "family farm" to agribusiness.
