  • Violence as Worship

    Stanford University Press Violence as Worship

    Book SynopsisThe book views religious violence as a special type of social action and analyzes the world views and scripts of modern militant religious communities as well as those of their opponents.Trade Review"Hans Kippenberg's Violence as Worship: Religious Wars in the Age of Globalization offers an insightful and fresh perspective using a historically detailed sociology . . . Well-written and historically-robust case studies make this book a valuable addition to the growing literature on religion and violence."—Melissa Mathes, Politics & Religion"In Violence as Worship, an expertly researched and excellently translated book, Kippenberg has offered a completely new interpretation of religious cum political conflicts in the contemporary world. This is a must-read book for government leaders, law enforcement officers, and religious personalities who advise presidents and other foreign politices."—Kofi Asimpi, Missiology"Kippenberg's handling of violence as a religious act has broader applications for how analysts consider religion, agency and causation. The book is enormously useful for the analysis of religious and civic activity."—Ipsita Chatterjea, Bulletin for the Study of Religion"This book is both one of the best contributions to the study of contemporary world conflicts and an impressive new approach to research on religiously inspired political conflicts in general. Kippenberg's approach is directed against all attempts to essentialize 'religion' and 'violence:' instead, he focusses on religious motivations and interpretations of violent acts by individuals and collectivities."—Hans Joas, Max Weber Center, University of Erfurt, Germany, and Committee on Social Thought, University of Chicago"What makes Violence As Worship so engaging is Kippenberg's consistently brilliant use of social theory to explain the story behind the headlines. No one else has laid bare the extent to which religious advocates are also actors in civil society, empowered through the vast expansion of the public domain during the past half-century."—Bruce Lawrence, Duke University

    Book SynopsisMore than three centuries after Maria Sibylla Merian established herself as a scientific trailblazer—and after more than two centuries of obscurity—the work of this pioneering naturalist and artist is being rediscovered. Merian’s work, The New Book of Flowers, raised the artistic standards of natural history illustration. Published in 1675, the book employed impeccable botanic accuracy with artistic expression. In it, Merian moved away from traditional methods that favored single illustrations and instead composed her studies to explore the relationships between flowers and insects. This poster book draws its nearly two dozen illustrations from The New Book of Flowers. Exquisitely reproduced, each illustration reveals the exacting detail and luminous colors that are the hallmark of Merian’s work. Perfect for close study as well as decoration, this treasury of botanical delight will help brighten any room—and inspire anyone drawn to the beautiful world of flowers.

  • My Grandfathers Altar

    University of Nebraska Press My Grandfathers Altar

    Book SynopsisMy Grandfather’s Altar is an oral-literary narrative account of Richard Moves Camp’s family history and traditions.Trade Review“A profound recollection and a generous sharing of the experiences of holiness and power, humility and obligation, history and memory: a new classic in a long tradition of Lakota accounts of Lakota life.”—Philip J. Deloria, author of Becoming Mary Sully: Toward an American Indian Abstract“My Grandfather’s Altar provides a return to the spirituality of Lakota people in order for healing to occur for the current and future generations. . . . This book provides a contemporary perspective and contributes greatly to the spiritual or religious life of contemporary Lakota and non-Lakota people.”—Delphine Red Shirt, author of Turtle Lung Woman’s Granddaughter“An authentic and indelible biography filled with life lessons and loving tributes to those who taught and defined Richard Moves Camp, notably his powerful medicine men ancestors. . . . My Grandfather’s Altar is an engaging and remarkable gift for the next generations.”—Devon Mihesuah, Oklahoma Choctaw and editor of Henry Mihesuah's First to Fight“An excellent contribution to the literature on Lakota spirituality and worldview. Moves Camp tells his family’s story of well-regarded spiritual leaders from a grounded and insightful perspective. Most beautifully, he provides a compelling teaching about the importance of spirituality being linked to a way of life, an insight that provides us a healthy pathway for the future. . . . The whole volume resonates with truth and wisdom.”—Waziyatawin, author of Remember This! Dakota Decolonization and the Eli Taylor Narratives“If you want to know more about American Indians, read this book. It presents us with a deeply authentic voice of a traditional Lakota elder and spiritual leader; it is a narrative that displays the American Indian worldview in all its depth and complexity. . . . Richard Moves Camp’s story will be read for generations to come as a wonderful tool for holding onto important cultural truths.”—Tink Tinker, professor emeritus of American Indian cultures and traditions at Iliff School of Theology“Not since Luther Standing Bear has Lakota spirituality been portrayed with such sincerity. . . . Richard Moves Camp’s My Grandfather’s Altar evokes the everyday relevance of Lakota beliefs and values with true-to-life detail. In recounting his grandfather’s story and legacy through family history, Moves Camp shows the reader a Lakota way of doing things, a wouncage, that is as meaningful today as it was during the time of Crazy Horse.”—David Martínez, author of Life of the Indigenous Mind: Vine Deloria Jr. and the Birth of the Red Power Movement“My Grandfather’s Altar is a revelation of intergenerational Indigenous survival in the face of omnicide. . . . More than an autobiography, this is the story of the olówaŋ wičháša, or spiritual code, of generations of Lakota people immersed in lifeway knowledge who transmitted that knowledge even when it was outlawed by the U.S. government. . . . This book has the power to resonate and linger with you just like that.”—Christopher J. Pexa (Mní Wakháŋ Oyáte, Spirit Lake Dakota Nation), author of Translated Nation: Rewriting the Dakhóta Oyáte“Richard Moves Camp’s story is unique, significant, and moving. It is an important contribution to both the living oral tradition of the Lakota people and the scholarly canon. My Grandfather’s Altar is an engrossing read. . . . I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Lakota culture, history, and ceremonial traditions.”—David C. Posthumus, author of All My Relatives: Exploring Lakota Ontology, Belief, and Ritual and coauthor of Lakȟóta: An Indigenous History“Richard Moves Camp provides a rich, powerful narrative based on his family’s experiences. This book gives us an intimate window into Lakȟóta spirituality and way of life. This is a Lakȟóta story told in a uniquely Lakȟóta way by those who experienced it firsthand. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Lakȟóta past and present.”—Rani-Henrik Andersson, author of The Lakota Ghost Dance of 1890 and coauthor of Lakȟóta: An Indigenous History“This is a remarkable, honest, and heart-centered book. In everyday language, Richard Moves Camp narrates the oral traditions of the distinguished Chips family, a history of suffering, spiritual accomplishments, miraculous events, and successful healings. The context is colonialism, and the consequence is a multigenerational struggle to maintain sacred authenticity and living connections to the spirit worlds. It is an honor to read such a book, a rare treasure, revealing the deep truths of Lakota spirituality.”—Lee Irwin, author of The Dream Seekers: Native American Visionary Traditions of the Great PlainsTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments Editor’s Note Prologue Introduction 1.

  • Claude Monet Set of 3 Standard Notebooks

    Flame Tree Publishing Claude Monet Set of 3 Standard Notebooks

    Book SynopsisClaude Monet Set of 3 Standard Notebooks features a collection of three A5, foiled notebooks with alternating lined and blank pages. Each notebook has a different beautiful design: Waterlillies, Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies and The Poplars. With a sturdy cover and rounded corners, they are perfect to be carried everywhere! Claude Monet was an extremely insightful and experimental artist, from his first inklings as an Impressionist to his later flirtations with Abstract Expressionism. Towards the end of his life and much inspired by Japanese water gardens, Monet spent a great deal of time in his beloved Giverny. Adorned with poppies, blue sage, dahlias and irises, the waters were disturbed only by bamboos and water lilies. His water garden was originally created to satisfy a need to be near water, and to provide a visual feast that could be enjoyed from his house. Its famous green wooden footbridge was built across the water and it became the central focus of many of his works. He said, ‘It took me some time to understand my water lilies. I planted them for pleasure.’ and so he began to work on what is probably the most famous series of paintings the world has ever seen. Flame Tree: The Art of Fine Gifts.

  • Dear Science and Other Stories

    Duke University Press Dear Science and Other Stories

    Book SynopsisKatherine McKittrick presents a creative and rigorous study of black and anticolonial methodologies, exploring how narratives of imprecision and relationality interrupt knowledge systems that seek to observe, index, know, and discipline blackness.Trade Review“Drawing from black anticolonial thought and study, black poetics, music, and expressive arts, Katherine McKittrick's Dear Science and Other Stories is an experiment in materializing black method and black wonder in stories of black livingness and relation, in spite of conditions of racial colonial violence and antiblack science of maps, algorithms, and life chances. It insists on other sensoria, consciousness, creation, and knowing—a black sense of place.” -- Lisa Lowe, author of * The Intimacies of Four Continents *“Freedom is a place made through rehearsals of thought and human-environment inter-action. Katherine McKittrick's stories show geography in the making through their persistent refusal to recite empirics of suffering and catastrophe. What a gift to travel these surprising, complex paths through rage toward life. I am grateful for this book.” -- Ruth Wilson Gilmore, author of * Change Everything! Racial Capitalism and the Case for Abolition *"In this innovative, rich work, Katherine McKittrick works tirelessly to make us aware of how Black thought is a form of knowledge production. McKittrick uses a fascinating essay structure — stories and letters to science — to discuss jazz, computer science, poetry, Black history, and more. It contains one of the most powerful analyses of scientific racism that I’ve read in recent times, arguing that sometimes our efforts to articulate race and racism as social phenomena actually reinforce the idea that they are somehow biological in nature." -- Chanda Prescod-Weinstein * Bookriot *"McKittrick’s prose is beautiful and timely, and she demonstrates that there is a cost to reducing Black life to any description without deep thought. Her readers—no matter their relationship to science—are pressed to question what we know, how we know, and who we know. Dear Science urges us to be cautious of a single narrative, to articulate our thoughts with exacting labor, and it provides insight into how we can create a universe beyond Black suffering." -- Edna Bonhomme * The Baffler *"Reading the richly poetic and sonically-driven Dear Science, we can see the many complex projects and thoughts of McKittrick’s work. The stories are citational observations and calls for a theory and method of storytelling and reading practice as a way to undo discipline (41), a reimagination of the academic text as a genre and incomplete visions of defining ‘science’. The text itself is artfully arranged, breaking from the conventional academic structure. . . ." -- Anna Nguyen * LSE Review of Books *"For those of us working inside, along, and through environmental studies, the environmental humanities, science studies, and all disciplines in between, Dear Science challenges us to confront the stories that our fields of study tell us about ourselves and the world around us and to consider what is possible if we center Black ways of knowing to imagine more equitable futures." -- Erin Gilbert and Leah Rubinsky * ISLE *"You are my black feminist answer to Borges and his short story, 'On Rigor in Science.' In the rigor and incisiveness of your stories you challenge and dismantle singular, unified, totalizing representations, narratives of classification and ways of knowing and being that discipline and punish, stifle, crush and suffocate. In their stead, you offer and practice relationality, generative collaborative praxis, black creative consciousness, method, and life. Thank you." -- Hazel Carby * Society and Space *"Dear Science is like no other scholarly book." -- Dina Georgis * Society and Space *"Dear Science and Other Stories is a one-of-a-kind,theoretical-practical-creative work that promises to intrigue, inspire, and question the reader, urging them toward new relational ways of thinking and living. It is a wonderful book, which encourages the reader to step out of their comfort zone and to explore interdisciplinary and cross-theory-making and art, in and through Black creativity and ‘livingness’, storytelling, and ways of knowing." -- Lena Anggren * Feminist Studies Association *"Katherine McKittrick's book about Black livingness and Black knowledge is a mind-altering and world-bending read that rarely leaves my side. I turn to it constantly, as a way to recognize the world that the Black studies tradition is constantly building. . . . A must-read for anyone interested in finding alternative ways of being and knowing rooted in abolition." -- Orlando Serrano * Smithsonian Magazine *"Refreshingly, Dear Science . . . [shows] what science misses in trying to define Black spiritual and corporeal existence. McKittrick urges Black studies thinkers to resist the hold of biocentric knowledge and to imagine ways of being and thinking that exist beyond and beside it." -- Cera Smith * The Black Scholar *"Dear Science is generous and expansive—disrupting normative disciplinary approaches often rehearsed in academic writing. It demands careful engagement and deep study. . . . Reading this book will, borrowing from Fanon, cause your heart to make your head swim." -- Jade How and Gada Mahrouse * Lateral *"Each exquisite sentence of Dear Science is comprised of layers of meaning. Still, McKittrick thought carefully about the importance of readability. . . . On each page of Dear Science, readers will find a reminder that Black (livingness) is beautiful, complex, and brilliant." -- Chanda Prescod-Weinstein * Catalyst *"Though McKittrick’s short book may seem humble, it offers a wide-ranging examination of both racist and liberatory methodologies. . . . To anyone working within Western academia, especially to those invested in anti-racist, feminist, and anti-colonial study, this book provides teachings, guidance, and support for re-examining one’s critical practices so they may better serve and imagine non-colonial futures." -- Tavleen Purewal * Letters in Canada *"By reading in and with black studies, Dear Science is a discipline-shattering love letter to the possibilities imbued in the black imagination." -- Ladipo Famodu & Temitope Famodu * Antipode *"McKittrick’s work, and Black Studies more broadly, are offering us a home, a safe space, outside, which is empowering and life-affirming and generous. I want us to applaud McKittrick’s work.
