Ironically, as many Western scholars have turned to constructivist theories to explain new ethnic movements and forms of identity politics, the subjects of their studies have begun to embrace a form of essentialism to justify their political legitimacy. This article presents a critical rethinking of constructivist and essentialist approaches to identity formation and maintenance. Drawing upon Maya ethnotheoretical models of identity, I introduce the analytic concept of cultural logicgenerative principles realized through cognitive schemas that promote intersubjective continuity and are conditioned by the unique contingencies of life histories and structural positions in politicaleconomic systems. I show how the concept of metaphysical balance in Maya cosmology illuminates the working of a uniquely Maya cultural logic, and I find in Maya cognitive models of the heart and soul a theory that mirrors that of cultural logic.

Science is now on the verge of a nswering our most profound questions about the nature of existenc e. Here Paul Davies explains how the far-reaching discoveries of recent physics are revolutionizing our world and, in particular, throwing light on many of the questions formerly posed by religio n, such as: Why is there a universe? Where did we come from? What is life? How is the world organized? Examining subjects fro m the creation to the soul, free will to time, black holes to mir acles, he travels through science and religion to show us that th ere is more to the world than meets the eye. 'Excellent ... expla ins with fluent simplicity some of the profoundest questions of c osmology' Daily Telegraph 'One of the finest science writers of t his generation' Independent 'Paul Davies is our best guide to thi s strange new world' Observer 'A list of topics to which he refer s would constitute an outline for a dictionary of contemporary sc ientific excitement. His style is clear, interesting, chatty' The Times Higher Education Supplement Paul Davies is Director of the BEYOND Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, and co-Direct or of the Cosmology Initiative, both at Arizona State University. An internationally-acclaimed physicist, writer and broadcaster, Davies is the author of some twenty award-winning books, includin g The Eerie Silence: Searching for Ourselves in the Universe, The Goldilocks Enigma: Why is the Universe Just Right for Life? and The Mind of God: Science and the Search for Ultimate Meaning.

It is a perilous undertaking, but there will always be the impetuous, the brave and the mad who are willing to leave their homes to explore the unknown.Even unto the edge of the world. . .Kevin J.

Good Reads""""Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. I love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS and CLOCKWORK LIVES, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are two of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series.I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author of the Dune prequels. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps.I serve as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest.My wife is author Rebecca Moesta.
