More relevant now then ever, and more important for all of us to keep in mind at all times... this might be the strength required to carry us across the coming storms.. Peace Love and Light to All :):) p.s.

This event took place on August 25, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series. </p> <p>In eighteenth-century England—where cockfighting and bullbaiting drew large crowds, and the abuse of animals was routine—the idea of animal protection was dismissed as laughably radical. But as pets became more common, human attitudes toward animals evolved steadily. An unconventional duchess defended their intellect in her writings. A gentleman scientist believed that animals should be treated with compassion. And with the concentrated efforts of an eccentric Scots barrister and a flamboyant Irishman, the lives of beasts—and, correspondingly, men and women—began to change. In For the Love of Animals, Kathryn Shevelow, a respected eighteenth-century scholar, gives us the dramatic story of the bold reformers who braved attacks because they sympathized with the plight of creatures everywhere. </p> <p>A specialist in eighteenth-century British literature and culture, Kathryn Shevelow is an award-winning professor at the University of California in San Diego. She is the author of Charlotte: Being a True Account of an Actress's Flamboyant Adventures in Eighteenth-Century London's Wild and Wicked Theatrical World and Women and Print Culture. She lives in Solana Beach, California.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/51905-authors-google-kathryn-shevelow">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45410-flynt-leverett-wake-up-america-it-s-a-post-us-world 2008-11-20T17:41:24Z Carnegie Council <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MDmBGHht2r8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MDmBGHht2r8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45410-flynt-leverett-wake-up-america-it-s-a-post-us-world"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/52550" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>"We have a political debate, a foreign policy debate, in this country that is basically about some other planet from the one that we are talking about right now," says Leverett. <br />This is an excerpt from a Carnegie Council Global Policy Innovations event, "The Rise of the Rest," on July 1, 2008.

grown to almost epidemic proportions. Nearly one in two American males contract some form of cancer. Professor Howard looks at the probable reasons behind this, pointing in particular to the rapid rise in chemical pollution. The use of chemicals by industry has grown exponentially since the Second World War (see clip 3, 'Chemical Hygiene'). As a result we are led to absorb into our bodies many thousands of chemicals each year. Some of these are endocrine disrupters which interfere with hormonal activity -- especially in fetuses.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/4109-the-rise-in-cancer-party-1">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/4107-chemical-hygiene 2008-11-22T12:41:57Z COAnews <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fxkuQq1GoAA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fxkuQq1GoAA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/4107-chemical-hygiene"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/3361" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Video from: <a href="http://bigpicture.tv">bigpicture.tv</a> </p> <p>More great indy news media at: <a href="http://coanews.org/alerts">coanews.org</a> </p> <p>The chemical industry is huge. Widely defined, it accounts for 7% of world GDP. Yet despite the ubiquity of potentially toxic man-made chemicals, consumer health protection is woefully inadequate. Professor Howard's work has revealed cancer-causing (or 'carcinogenic') effects of many manufactured chemical compounds, some of which pose particular risk to the unborn foetus. Until health and safety standards improve, Dr Howard advocates a chemical hygiene discipline, just as we have a biological hygiene discipline. With better knowledge and increased awareness of the dangers, certain steps can be -- and must be -- taken to reduce unnecessary exposure.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/4107-chemical-hygiene">Watch the video</a>
