  • Two Eagles

    by Ricardo Sheffield
    In the middle of the Sonoran Desert, two eagles meet face to face. One has flown from the north, the other from the south. After a long journey, they confront each other in a vast territory that unites two great countries that, like the eagles, are not as different as they seem. Two hundred years after the beginning of diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States, Ricardo Sheffield takes a look at the shared history of both nations. He considers questions such as: • What was life li... more

  • Earth's Emergency Room: Saving Species as the Planet and Politics Get Hotter

    by Lowell E. Baier
    Earth’s Emergency Room reflects on the differences between the era of the ESA (the 1960s and 70s) and today. Baier explains, “We have lost our national unity, bipartisan spirit, and clarity of purpose. In 1973 Congress made a moral pronouncement on behalf of the American people, that it was important to protect the Earth’s species. Today, we know that to be truer than ever, but we have lost our perspective. Only by recapturing the moral authority of the past, and acting as a united people, can w... more

  • The Armenian Seminars

    by Michael Boyajian

    The author’s depth of knowledge and almost lyrical style and spontaneity of speaking about such topics of interest to Armenians from their early embrace of the West, control of the photoengraving industry in the United States and the abundance of Armenian illuminated bibles and what they signified and the need for non academic history books that tell a swashbuckling tale of Armenian history and its heroes all comes to life here. As Plato’s Socratic dialogues were to Greek cultural... more
