Although photography was still in its infancy, war correspondents produced thousands of images, bringing the harsh realities of the frontlines to those on the home front in a new and visceral way.

Peak oil is real and will stunt any economic recovery
The viability of modern civilization depends on two important dimensions: 1) the continuous availability and deployment of essential resources and 2) the long-term productivity and habitability of our environment.
The narrowing window for a transition to a sustainable industrial society
The International Energy Agency has just issued a special report titled, “ Are We Entering a Golden Age of Gas? ” The answer to that question is “yes” only if you are a natural gas producer who doesn’t care much about humanity.

Christianity grew out of a mixture of Persian Mithraism, Judaism and the works of individuals such as St. Paul who gave us written records of this synthesis. 1. Mithraism “ Spirit of Spirit, if it be your will, give me over to immortal birth so that I may be born again - and the sacred spirit may breathe in me. ”
Mithraism and Early Christianity
Augustine was bishop of Hippo (in the Roman colony on the northern coast of western Africa). He was the first major figure in the Church to set forth a list which included all of the disputed Old Testament books without making any distinction between the fully canonical Hebrew books and the lesser books derived from the Septuagint.

The Globalization of War: The "Military Roadmap" to World War III
Here's some idle thinking for a sunny afternoon at the end of winter. To access it, let's make a simple assumption that economics, politics, and warfare are all a function of the dominant technological substrate. A technological substrate is the family of related technologies that we rely upon. In the 20th Century, we were clearly reliant on an industrial substrate.

One more thing to report - now that I know how it works, peachtrees works fine with Terra, which is a much nicer browser than Safari. by fgbouman Oct 19
Yes - I have seven pearltree entries in the bookmarks bar by now. Still no button.
So now I've tried the bookmark and I see how it works. Perhaps I'm stupid or perhaps your explanation should mention that you're supposed to use the bookmark, not wait for a button to magically appear on the menubar.
Cheers by fgbouman Oct 19
Thanks for the details! it should appear in the bookmarks bar. Does the bookmark bar appear in Safari? You can manage this in the settings. Also, in the step 3 of the installation process, have you checked that you're adding the pearler in the bookmark bar ? by amsika Oct 19
The button on the lower left of the app runs me through the instllation instructions. I run through them and it says that it is successfully installed, but nothing appears on the Safari browser. Where are the buttons supposed to appear? They appear on Lion Safari just fine. by fgbouman Oct 19
It only works on safari. what happens when you click on the button "pearler" that is at the bottom left corner ? by amsika Oct 19
I don't get the buttons on either on my browsers, Terra or Safari. So I can't just tap a button. by fgbouman Oct 17
Yes, it works on iOS5. Do you manage to install it ? What happens when you try to pearl a webpage? by amsika Oct 17
I haven't been able to get pearler running on either safari or terra on my iPad. I've followed the instructions exactly and it doesn't work. Have you tested on iOS5? by fgbouman Oct 16
