Arthur C. Clarke,author of the greatest stories ever written of our destiny in outer space - '2001: A Space Odyssey' [see rja27647 in my 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die catalogue] and '2012: Odyssey Two' - presents here an immensely readable and stimulating collection of essays examining the enormous possibilities the human race now has for both creativity and destruction. Against Orwell's ominous date 1984 he has deliberately set the hopeful word 'Spring' because he feels that the worst of the world's long winter may well be over. Arthur C. Clarke's passionate interest in space exploration,his vast knowledge of current technological and scientific developments (then 1984),and his informed, optimistic humanism,are communicated in an immediately accessible style which will strike a responsive chord in the hearts and minds of all readers concerned for the future of humankind on - and off - Earth.

New. &quot;Unlike Freud, I do not claim that religion is just an illusion and a source of neurosis. The time has come to recognize, without being afraid of 'frightening' either the faithful or the agnostics, that the history of Christianity prepared the world for humanism.&quot; So writes Julia Kristeva in this provocative work, which skillfully upends our entrenched ideas about religion, belief, and the thought and work of a renowned psychoanalyst and critic. With dialogue and essay, Kristeva analyzes our &quot;incredible need to believe&quot;--the inexorable push toward faith that, for Kristeva, lies at the heart of the psyche and the history of society. Examining the lives, theories, and convictions of Saint Teresa of Avila, Sigmund Freud, Donald Winnicott, Hannah Arendt, and other individuals, she investigates the intersection between the desire for God and the shadowy zone in which belief resides. Kristeva suggests that human beings are formed by their need to believe, beginning with our first attempts at speech and following through to our adolescent search for identity and meaning. Kristeva then applies her insight to contemporary religious clashes and the plight of immigrant populations, especially those of Islamic origin. Even if we no longer have faith in God, Kristeva argues, we must believe in human destiny and creative possibility. Reclaiming Christianity's openness to self-questioning and the search for knowledge, Kristeva urges a &quot;new kind of politics,&quot; one that restores the integrity of the human community., 6<
