![]() ![]() ![]() They also caught the eye of the expedition's second-in-command, Edward A. These traits were to serve him well when it came time for him to write down his memories of the expedition. He was also, according to novelist, biographer, and socialite Nancy Mitford, the only intellectual amongst the crew. Ĭherry-Garrard responded to these taunts with modesty, a self-sacrificial ability to work hard, and acute observational skills. "Cherry" was teased at first by some of the other members of this expedition because of his lack of Antarctic experience, his lack of specialised credentials for the position of assistant zoologist to which he had been named, and persistent suspicions among some of his comrades that he had in fact bought his way on board by contributing £1,000 to the expedition's troubled funds. In 1910, Cherry-Garrard and his fellow explorers travelled by sailing vessel, the Terra Nova, from Cardiff to McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. It has earned wide praise for its frank treatment of the difficulties of the expedition, the causes of its disastrous outcome, and the meaning of human suffering under extreme conditions. Yes, it is possible! We can end war on Earth if we truly want it and work for it with all our strength and intelligence.The Worst Journey in the World is a 1922 memoir by Apsley Cherry-Garrard of Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition to the South Pole in 1910–1913. The book shows how the peace movement can be organized globally and with what forces it can connect in order to be stronger than the forces of destruction. In order to explore the inner structures of a humane form of existence, we needed again and again to review and change the ways in which we coexisted… If one wants to know how humankind functions, one should learn how a group functions, for a group contains all the light and shadow sides of our human existence within it. Terra Nova is the result of a unique and pioneering work, drawing from more than forty years of research into the construction of functioning communities: It starts where wars emerge anew every day: in people’s day-to-day coexistence. The inner world consists of the driving powers of his soul, his libidinous longings, his sexuality and animality, his spiritual powers, his hopes and fears, his entire potential of unrecognized and untapped energies.įorty years after his bestseller Angst im Kapitalismus ( Fear in Capitalism), the author presents us with a deep and thoroughly thought out concept that explains a future of peace could be initiated in the world – for all nations, peoples and the natural world. The human being is the cause of his own failure because he disregarded some essential aspects of his own inner world. One of them is the psychoanalyst Dieter Duhm, leader of the so-called “emancipation debate” during the ‘68 Student Movement in Germany. Only a few visionaries have included human psychology in this research and worked to create holistic, coherent solutions for both humanity and the Earth. So far, our efforts to solve these problems have gone almost entirely towards creating new systems of energy and food production, urban housing, or matters of organization, communication and economy. We have no more urgent need than that of a positive perspective for the future of life on Earth. We see everywhere the miracles of technology, the glossy urban facades and the wealth of the elite, but we also see the oppressed and starving poor, the shocking degradation of nature and a mechanistic culture of war run rampant and out of control.
