Why does the West rule? In this magnum opus, eminent Stanford polymath Ian Morris answers this provocative question, drawing on 50,000 years of history, archeology, and the methods of social science, to make sense of when, how, and why the paths of development differed in the East and West — and what this portends for the 21st century. There are two broad schools of thought on why the West rules. Proponents of "Long-Term Lock-In" theories such as Jared Diamond suggest that from time immemorial, some critical factor — geography, climate, or culture perhaps — made East and West unalterably different, and determined that the industrial revolution would happen in the West and push it further ahead of the East. But the East led the West between 500 and 1600, so this development can't have been inevitable; and so proponents of "Short-Term Accident" theories argue that Western rule was a temporary aberration that is now coming to an end, with Japan, China, and India resuming their rightful places on the world stage. However, as the West led for 9,000 of the previous 10,000 years, it wasn't just a temporary aberration. So, if we want to know why the West rules, we need a whole new theory. Ian Morris, boldly entering the turf of Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson, provides the broader approach that is necessary, combining the textual historian's focus on context, the anthropological archaeologist's awareness of the deep past, and the social scientist's comparative methods to make sense of the past, present, and future — in a way no one has ever done before.

An exceptional beauty at fifty-five years old, Kitty Krisstal had big green eyes and thick brunette hair. A lion would be jealous of her mane. She was about to have her life tossed around like a salad. What made her really special was her love and devotion for her husband, Stone. But, those qualities also flowed over onto her four critters. She had two dogs named Tara and Reata, and one beautiful black brindle boxer named Desher. But her pride and joy was Fandango, a mocha colored quarter horse buckskin gelding. Kitty and her critters were most definitely on the same wavelength. When Stone was ripped out of her life by a car accident, she lost her zest for life. She never wanted to have another relationship. Loosing Stone was to devastating and she never wanted to go through that again! He had been her perfect mate, sexy, loving, giving, and devoted. Not having a clue about her future she retired from her job, sold their one hundred acre ranch, and nailed down a “hermit” job. Mike, a railroad foreman, was skeptical about hiring a woman but she was fire-armed certified and her dogs were search and rescue trained. But the frosting on her cake was Fandango. There was only two ways to patrol the remote railroad tracks, walk or horse back. Mike hired her over the phone. Packing up what was left of her life and loading up her critters, she headed to Idaho. Never in a million years, suspecting this was one of the worst decisions that she could have ever made. Kitty gets pulled like a powerful ocean undertow into murder, drugs, men that won’t take “NO” for an answer!

Tropical forests are an undervalued asset in meeting the greatest global challenges of our time—averting climate change and promoting development. Despite their importance, tropical forests and their ecosystems are being destroyed at a high and even increasing rate in most forest-rich countries. The good news is that the science, economics, and politics are aligned to support a major international effort over the next five years to reverse tropical deforestation. Why Forests? Why Now? synthesizes the latest evidence on the importance of tropical forests in a way that is accessible to anyone interested in climate change and development and to readers already familiar with the problem of deforestation. It makes the case to decisionmakers in rich countries that rewarding developing countries for protecting their forests is urgent, affordable, and achievable.

Sheen to strengthen families... with Father Patrick Peyton, the “Rosary priest” for an increase in Christian discipleship... with Pope St. John Paul II for peace in the world... with Father Hubert F. Schiffer, S.J. as a weapon against evil... with Venerable Pope Pius XII to combat secularism... with Pope Leo XIII to become saints... with Pope St. John XXIII, St. Teresa of Calcutta, Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman, and many more Why the Rosary, Why Now? is not a typical “how-to book” about the Rosary.
