If the moon was bright he walked all night, wading through dry prairie grass. He was alone and carried his meagre belongings on his back. It was November and snow clung to the hollows and shadows, but that snow was old, dry, delicate as meringue. He had come down the leeward side of the Rockies and had descended into the rolling grassland that runs from Alberta all the way into Montana. Having left the only real home he had ever known, he was looking for the border.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eCold as the days were, the sun was intense. Every noon he boiled in his coat and every night he lay shivering on the frigid ground and whined like a dog. After four days and nights, his feet were very bad. He suspected they were bloody by now but he couldn’t bring himself to pull off the boots and look.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eThis was open country. To the east, long grass and low trees all the way to the horizon, and to the west, the land bled into the cloud-like silhouette of the mountains. Days ago he had lost sight of the ranges he called home, and now he paced alongside peaks he remembered dimly from long ago, when he was a younger man, a line of only half-familiar shapes, the faces of acquaintances. He’d stolen everything he could from a ranger’s station outside Banff, including a knapsack, a hatchet, matches, and a blanketcoat with ROCKY MTNS PARK stencilled across the shoulder blades and STN 153 on the chest. He’d found nothing useful for hunting. No gun, not even a knife.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eThe jerky he’d been eating began to fume right through the canvas of his knapsack and sicken him as he walked. Holding the bag to his belly he clawed through it, dropping behind him the last strips of meat. Then the reeking square of oilcloth in which they had been wrapped fluttered down to settle on a tuft of grass like a tiny umbrella. He took out the hatchet and considered dropping it as well, to get rid of the weight, but couldn’t open his hand. The hatchet had great utility, so he slid it back into his bag. He was god-almighty thirsty and dreamed as he walked, dreamed of a river, of drinking gallons of water from that cold river.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eOne afternoon he came upon a gully packed with young trees which turned out to be mostly dry, but he dug down and sipped at a muddy pool. Then he rolled onto his side under the cover of shrubs and slept hard. When he rose a few hours later it was getting on to dark and he was stiff and trembling.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eThat night he found himself on the road he had been looking for. He followed it until he was standing, as planned, outside the little guard hut at the Sweetgrass border crossing between Alberta and Montana. He stood by the lightless window and swayed on numb legs. A bright coin of a moon overhead and no wind at all. The world was utterly still, so quiet he could hear his own ears humming. William Moreland stood like an idiot before the hut and waited for the guard. He stared about with hollow eyes and slowly came to the conclusion that he should probably do something.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eBeyond the hut was a small gabled house and an unoccupied corral. There was a motorcar up on blocks by the kitchen door, but no lights to be seen anywhere. Moreland tried to call out with his dry throat but all that came out was a thin hiss; his first attempt to speak in more than a week. The applicant to cross over simply waited there, as he should, trying to either speak to authority, or call for service, but could make no sound at all, while the guard slumbered somewhere out of sight.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eA barn owl melted out of the dark and alighted on a gable of the house. They gazed unblinking at each other until the owl tilted off and moved without sound to the west. \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eThe absurdity of the situation was not lost on Moreland: this was after all the border between two countries. But all around him was a sea of grass and rolling land and wind and animals and dust and seeds that flowed this way and that across the imagined line. A decade and a half earlier he would not have stopped, nor intended to stop, nor have approached the crossing station at all. He would not have given it the slightest thought, but gone his own, quiet, solitary way, neither wild nor domesticated, just alone. But now he had been so long among people he’d forgotten that part of himself. So it came to him very slowly that the natural world, having long ago defined its own precincts and notions of order, was simply waiting for him to become unstuck. \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHe cupped his face and pressed it to the thin glass. In the darkness of the hut he saw a wooden counter and a high stool. He wandered round to the rear and pulled open the door. Inside he found a shelf under the counter on which stood a few romance books, a clean plate and a fork, long-dead bees and bits of bee, and below that, bolted to the floor, a small metal box. On top lay a heavy padlock, twisted open, and the key was stuck in it. He gathered the padlock into his fist, lifted the lid of the box, and let it all sag to the floor. \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eMoreland stood for a long time looking down at the revolver. An army model, Colt single action. There were a few spare rounds in the box, some of which didn’t match the gun but seemed to have been put there for tidy housekeeping. He considered taking the pistol, but in the end he shut the lid of the box, put the padlock back on top, shut the door to the hut, and left everything as it had been. He looked across the road at the blank windows of the little house and went back out into the night, moving south, always south, wading through a vast nothingness of grass. An ocean of grass.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Previous_review_q_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEW COPIES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBooklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"Adamson’s Ridgerunner is the kind of book that forges the possible from the impossible, despite age and borders.

He urges us to therefore choose life — to invest in our capabilities as human beings, to heed the warnings of our own self-destruction, and above all to honour our humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781487003227","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781487003227\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Height":"8","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"House of Anansi Press","MetaKeywords":"cbc massey lectures; the good place; nuclear arms race; vietnam; climate change; nationalism; refugee crisis; abortion; rainforest degredation; communism; sapiens yuval noah harari; this changes everything naomi klein; population control; human consciousness; evolution; canlit; poli sci; history; science; the universe within; neil turok; man's search for meaning; belonging; adrienne clarkson; in search of a better world; payam akhavan","NumberOfPages":"104","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis never before published found Massey Lecture will be released in paperback to complete the series.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe subjects he touches upon are even more urgent and timely today — overpopulation, nuclear arms, the environment have progressed further into the twenty-first century.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Wald is a Nobel Prize–winning biologist, and a well-known, popular Harvard professor, who was featured in TIME magazine as “one of the ten best teachers in the country”\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWald was also a political and social activist, and spoke out against the war in Vietnam and the nuclear arms race\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eA rebroadcast of this lecture is planned for mid-October 2017.

Seeking answers to these questions, men have followed many paths. I hope I may be forgiven for believing that science offers perhaps the surest of those paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have special need now for answers to those questions. Our society is adrift. We are in a crisis of conviction, of mission, of commitment — a kind of worldwide identity crisis. Indeed, technology having obliterated distance, man needs more than ever before to become a community. Unless we can achieve some commonly accepted sense of human needs and goals, we’re lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, that is the kind of thing I shall be talking about. I shall be asking the question: From what base can a scientist, dealing as a scientist, make moral and political judgements? I would like to examine that base — my base. Perhaps it can become yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat I am looking for is some sort of context that can serve as a guide to decision and action. In a sense, this is my religion — the entirely secular religion of one scientist. It contains no supernatural elements. Nature is enough for me — enough of awe, enough of beauty, enough of reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI would like to begin by sorting out some basic ideas. We need to know what we are talking about. Man has been engaged, ever since we have known him, in an unending struggle to know. I think that is epitomized in science — science is an attempt to understand all reality. Reality covers a very broad province — not only such relatively simple things as stones falling and the structures of atomic nuclei, but much more complicated things such as poets writing sonnets, people weeping, people praying. I think that some of those more complicated things science will never understand; but we’ll keep on trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point of the whole enterprise is to achieve understanding. Facts are only the raw material of science. Some time ago I read for the first time (though not the last) Herman Hesse’s book Siddhartha, and I came out of that first reading with a wonderful sentence: “One can gain knowledge from words, but wisdom only from things.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI think that’s what science is about: it’s a deep-seated attempt to extract the wisdom from things. As such, as that deep and consistent attempt to understand reality, science is altogether good (as our culture interprets “the good”) — there can be no such thing as bad science. Any other view would be a plea for ignorance, and there can be no possible quarrel with science that ignorance can improve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is another entirely different enterprise: the application of science to useful ends — technology. I have just finished saying that science is altogether good, but I would never dream of saying that about technology!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnology is for use, and in any properly conducted society, every enterprise in technology, new and old, should be under constant review and judgement in terms of the needs and goals and aspirations of that society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the troubles with our present society is that we tend to regard all technology, without question, as progress — sometimes the more unpleasant aspects of technology as aspects of fate. But that’s altogether wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e One needs to ask: Should one do everything one can? All too often the answer one is given is, Why, yes! Of course, one does everything one can — one travels as far and as rapidly, and makes as big a bomb as one can, and all those other things, as soon as one becomes able to. But the proper answer is: Of course not! Among all those things that can be done, a decision needs to be made as to which to do and which not to do, and that in terms of our essential human social needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho is to make those decisions? Well, another trouble with our present society is that those decisions are being made almost entirely by the producers of technology — by those who see in that technology opportunities for wealth, or power, or status. One should listen to all that such interest parties have to say. But then that final decision should be made quite otherwise. That final decision should be made not by the producers of technology, but by those who will have to live with the products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, I think the position is this: Know all you can, but do only what seems socially useful and beneficial to do.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Long_description_1":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis never before published found Massey Lecture will be released in paperback to complete the series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe subjects he touches upon are even more urgent and timely today — overpopulation, nuclear arms, the environment have progressed further into the twenty-first century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Wald is a Nobel Prize–winning biologist, and a well-known, popular Harvard professor, who was featured in TIME magazine as “one of the ten best teachers in the country”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWald was also a political and social activist, and spoke out against the war in Vietnam and the nuclear arms race\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA rebroadcast of this lecture is planned for mid-October 2017.

Taking the concept of \u003cem\u003eamor mundi\u003c\/em\u003e as her starting point, she muses on the difficulty of loving the world. Why is it so hard, and why must we love the world? The love Hannah discusses here is not love in the conventional sense. To love the world means reconciling oneself with it, in all its imperfection and weakness — because this reconciliation is necessary for its continued existence. For Hannah Arendt, it was a case of “understanding and accepting what really happened.” How could anyone love the world after the Holocaust? In what world is something like the Holocaust even possible?\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah links love for the world, \u003cem\u003eamor mundi\u003c\/em\u003e, to responsibility, reflection, and judgement. A love that presupposes reflection over one’s own actions and an understanding of their consequences. In this approach, there are parallels to her thoughts on evil. Indifference can, according to Hannah, be fertile ground for evil, and the opposite of indifference is reflection. As a result, everyone has a responsibility to reflect on their own actions, a responsibility to choose, a responsibility not to simply obey orders and follow the crowd.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eYet the argument Hannah would come to call the \u003cem\u003ebanality of evil\u003c\/em\u003e aroused strong disgust and anger in many of her contemporaries. Hannah’s description of Adolf Eichmann, one of the architects of the Holocaust, as an unimaginative bureaucrat who was simply doing his job shocked the world. Critics saw Hannah’s argument as a diminishment of Eichmann’s guilt, and the book was slated everywhere. Friends and colleagues turned their backs on her. In an infamous interview with Günter Gaus on West German TV, just after the publication of \u003cem\u003eEichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil\u003c\/em\u003e (1964), Hannah is asked whether she wishes she had never written the book. Does she believe that, despite all the negative reactions — all the hate — she did the right thing by writing the book the way she did?\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah, a middle-aged woman by the time of the interview, listens to Gaus’s question with a frown. She is wearing a dark dress, and her once-black hair, though thick as ever, is flecked with grey. She has one leg nonchalantly crossed over the other, her dark eyes guarded yet alert, and she is holding a cigarette in one hand. Gaus, clean shaven in a white shirt and thick rimmed glasses, seems almost breathless as he waits for her reply.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eHannah leans back in her armchair, studies Gaus intently, and takes a deep drag on her cigarette before she speaks. Her answer paraphrases Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I’s motto, \u003cem\u003efiat iustitia, et pereat mundus: fiat veritas, et pereat mundus\u003c\/em\u003e — let truth be done, though the world may perish. She raises her free hand and points at Gaus, as though to stress the importance of her words: “The truth must be told, regardless of the consequences of that truth.” A worthy motto for someone who put their life on the line on more than one occasion in their steadfast belief in what is true and right.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Long_description_1":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSince the 2016 U.S. election, Hannah Arendt and her works have experienced a major rise in popularity.
