E-book Capital Redefined

At the heart of our intellectual journey in this book lies the profound realiza-tion that in order to redefine capital, we must first engage in a transforma-tive discourse that places (redefining) value at its very core. In the face of an imminent convergence of ecological and social crises, it becomes increas-ingly evident that the immense influence wielded by capital is at the core o…

E-book Bishops in Flight : Exile and Displacement in Late Antiquity

With the arrival of a so-called Christian emperor, Constantine the Great, Christian leaders gained the long-awaited tolerance of the empire. Christianity’s transition into the favored religious cult of the imperial household and Roman elite involved significant growing pains. The road to conformity was anything but smooth, as a series of controversial ecumenical councils demonstrated. I…

E-book Researching with Proximity : Relational methodologies for the Anthropo…

We are being told: ‘It is perhaps not wise to go to trekking during ‘räkkä’ time, the mass occurrence of insects—mosquitoes, blackflies, and midges— during the northern summer.’ As experienced trekkers, we already know this, but we have no option: this is the only weekend possible for us to go for a hike, and we are eager. I on…

E-book The Medieval Economy of Salvation : Charity, Commerce, and the Rise of…

It was a cold winter evening in 2010, and I had just arrived in Paris for a short research trip. The tiny hotel where I would be staying was on the fifth floor of the ophthalmological wing of the hôtel-Dieu (or hospital) just across from the cathedral of Notre Dame. 1 Given the subject of the book I was in France to research, it seemed appropri-ate that I should s…

E-book Representing Poverty and Precarity in a Postcolonial World

“Precarity is everywhere today”, French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu announced in a lecture in 1997 (qtd. in Springveld 26). “[P] recarity is not a passing or episodic condition, but a new form of regulation that distinguishes this historical time”, American philosopher Judith Butler writes in her foreword to German political theorist Isabell Lorey’s study State of Insecurity: Governme…

E-book A Greek State in Formation : The Origins of Mycenaean Pylos

The Bronze Age in Greece began around 3100 B.C. with the first bronze work-ing for the manufacture of tools and weapons (see map 1). Already in the Neo-lithic, there had been limited use of copper, the essential ingredient of bronze, while stone tools were still essential for some purposes in the Bronze Age. Copper typically was alloyed with tin to produce bronze, but…

E-book Gender: What Everyone Needs to Know®

The term "gender" was first distinguished from "sex" in the 1950s, when psychologists began to discuss the idea of "gender roles"--behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather than flowing from their biology. Over the last two decades, transgender people have expanded our understanding of gender even further, introducing to the mainstream the concept of "gender identity," …

E-book Relative Histories : Mediating History in Asian American Family Memoirs

In general, I distinguish between four models of the kind of text gener-ally (in publishing and reviews) classified as “family memoirs”. As with all forms of literature, there are no definitive barriers between the forms I clas-sify as distinct. Part of my interest in contemporary auto/biographical writ-ing lies in how writers continually open up possibilities for self-representation throug…

E-book Animal Emotions : How They Drive Human Behavior

Uually, our emotions are strongly controlled. Therefore, we seldom experience situations of raw affect, where emotions simply overwhelm us. This is basically a good thing, because controlling our ancestral emotional urges helps us to respond more appropriately to most of the daily situational demands of our modern society. It is simply not acceptable to always show an emotional response i…

E-book A Stage of Emancipation : Change and Progress at the Dublin Gate Theatre

In his introduction to Irish Drama and Theatre since 1950 (2019), Patrick Lonergan outlines the genealogy of the #WakingTheFeminists movement, which began as a contestation of how the Abbey’s 2016 Waking the Nation programme marginalised female playwrights and directors, but quickly expanded to raise awareness about the precarious position of women in …

E-book Gardening for Biodiversity

There are over 2 million domestic gardens (or 359,000 acres) in this country. Just imagine the difference it could make if 2 million gardens became biodiversity friendly! But we wouldn’t just be opening our gardens to nature for altruistic reasons. Gardening for Biodiversity also has advantages for human health and wellbeing. Research has shown that the more urbanised humans have become, the …

E-Book The End of the Book of Numbers: On Pentateuchal Models and Composition…

It has become increasingly clear that Numbers is the litmus test for new ideas relating to the formation of the Pentateuch. At the same time the profusion of ideas has only resulted in a corresponding lack of agreement between scholars. In the present study, Jordan Davis grants significant attention to the geographical references found at the end of the book of Numbers, combining archaeological…

E-book Understanding Media and Culture : An Introduction to Mass Communication

In 1850, an epidemic swept America—but instead of leaving victims sick with fever or flu, this epidemic involved a rabid craze for the music of Swedish soprano Jenny Lind. American showman P. T. Barnum (who would later go on to found the circus now known as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey), a shrewd marketer and self-made millionaire, is credited with spreading “Lindomania” through a s…

E-book Reimagining Urban Nature : Literary Imaginaries for Posthuman Cities

We, entangled humans and nonhumans, are at a critical point in managing environmental degradation, with human-induced environ-mental change occurring on a grand scale. Several environmental problems need urgent attention, including climate change, the sixth great extinction of plants and other animals, and increasing resource depletion in some of the most vuln…

E-book The Train That Had Wings : Selected Stories of M. Mukundan

Before the 1960s, Malayalam literature, whether poetry, novel,or short story, had been dominated by a parochialism centeredon the lives and experiences of Kerala, a small state of palmtrees, trading ports, and paddy fields in southwestern India.Most literary productions from this period in Kerala's historydepicted scenes, people, habits, and conflicts …

E-book Dictionary of World Biography

In the mid-1950s I had been puzzled that no comprehensive biographical dictionary was available in paperback and I determined to fill the gap. I wrote to Penguin Books in London/ Harmondsworth and received a thoughtful and encouraging letter from A. S. B. Glover, a classical scholar and editor. The two generally available major biographical dictionaries, Chambers’s and Webster’s, both had s…

E-book The lion and the unicorn

Prentiss had a long lease on the house, and because it stood in Jermyn Street the upper floors were, as a matter of course, turned into lodgings for single gentlemen; and because Prentiss was a Florist to the Queen, he placed a lion and unicorn over his flowershop, just in front of the middle window on the first floor. By stretching a little, each of them could see into the window just be…
