MD - Duke University Press Acting with the World Agency in the Anthropocene
Book SynopsisIn the Anthropocene our actions are coming home to roost. Global warming, species extinctions, and environmental disasters are the dark side of our mastery of nature. In Acting with the World, Andrew Pickering identifies a different pattern of being and doing that can evade this dark side, a pattern that he calls acting-with the world. In contrast to our usual practice of acting on the world, acting-with foregrounds nonhuman or more-than-human agency and aims to attune our practices to the propensities of nature. Pickering explores examples of acting-with from around the globe, including flood control on the Mississippi River, ecosystem restoration on the Colorado River, the Room for the River project and rewilding in the Netherlands, natural farming in Japan, Aboriginal fire techniques in Australia, and Amazonian shamanism. Pickering argues that acting-with intimately and gracefully plugs us into nature, undercuts the Anthropocene from below, and offers a constructive approach to addressing otherwise intractable wicked problems.

The University of Chicago Press A Planet of Viruses Third Edition
Book SynopsisCelebrated science writer Carl Zimmer’s classic book, updated in a new edition, is an eye-opening look at Covid-19 and the many other viruses that shape our planet and ourselves.Trade Review"A smart, beautiful, and somewhat demented picture book that's likely to give you a case of the willies. In the best way possible."-- "Boing Boing, on the first edition" "Absolutely top-drawer popular science writing. . . . Zimmer's information-packed, superbly readable look at virological knowledge awakens readers to the fact that not only are viruses everywhere but we couldn't live without them."-- "Booklist, starred review, on the first edition" "As with any great journey, this virtual tour opens your eyes and expands your horizons. . . . Reading Zimmer's work is like hanging out with the smartest, most interesting guy you have ever met as he regales you with tales of his travels and fascinating finds along the way."-- "Science News, on the first edition" "Just about everything you've always wanted to know--and a lot you'll probably wish you didn't know--about the viruses that have caused humanity so much grief throughout history."-- "Forbes, on the first edition" "Succinct yet elegantly written. . . . A fascinating and enlightening introduction."-- "Guardian, on the first edition" "Zimmer reshapes our understanding of the hidden realities at the core of everyday existence. . . . Concise and illuminating."-- "Washington Post, on the first edition" "Zimmer is one of the best science writers we have today. A Planet of Viruses is an important primer on the viruses living within and around all of us--sometimes funny, other times shocking, and always accessible. Whether discussing the common cold and flu, little-known viruses that attack bacteria or protect oceans, or the world's viral future as seen through our encounters with HIV or SARS, Zimmer's writing is lively, knowledgeable, and graced with poetic touches."--Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks "on the first edition"

University of Toronto Press The Typewriter Century
Book SynopsisThis book captures the intensity of the relationship between writers and their typewriters from the 1880s, when the machine was first commercialized, to the 1980s, when word-processing superseded it. Drawing on examples from the United States, Britain, Europe, and Australia, The Typewriter Century focuses on celebrity writers, including Henry James, Jack Kerouac, Agatha Christie, Georges Simenon, and Erle Stanley Gardner, who wrote prolifically and mechanically, developing routines in which typing, handwriting, and dictation were each allotted important functions. The typewriter de-personalized the text; the office typewriter bureaucratized it. At the same time, some authors found a new and disturbing distance between themselves and their compositions while others believed the typewriter facilitated spontaneous and automatic typing. The Typewriter Century provides a cultural history of the typewriter, outlining the ways in which it can be considered an agent of Trade Review"Well written and really entertaining, with numerous interesting individual findings, Martyn Lyons' book provides a useful introduction to a complex field of research." -- Kim Christian Priemal, University of Oslo * H-Soz-Kult *"This is a useful study of the complex impacts of the typewriter on the practices of different writers in the twentieth century. It contextualizes existing research approaches to this set of questions effectively and offers original insights into the history of the typewriter as a technology and its interactions with the social position of writers and the market for published literary works." -- Morag Shiach, Queen Mary University of London * Journal of British Studies *"With so many technological changes in our lives, the typewriter has become a clear symbol of the transformation from manual to digital technology. In The Typewriter Century, Martyn Lyons plays homage to this once cherished tool of authors, tracing its history from an eighteenth-century ‘writing machine’ to the post-digital age. Along the way, he recounts how famous authors felt about their typewriters, and how changes in the typewriter also changed the writing process itself, not always for the better." -- Gretchen Webster * Publishing Research Quarterly *"The Typewriter Century is clearly the result of extensive research but that does not inhibit the prose, which is very engaging. This book will interest scholars concerned with the means of production, and it will also appeal to general readers who are curious about the history of technology and writing." -- Alice Grundy, Australian National University * SHARP News *“This book will be of interest to historians of typewriters and office work and a wider audience curious about the writing practices of some of the most legendary authors since the 1880s.” -- James Inglis * Technology and Culture *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments 1.

Behavioral Science in the Wild helps managers to implement research findings on behavioral change in their own workplace operations and to apply them to business or policy problems. As the second book in the Behaviourally Informed Organizations series, Behavioral Science in the Wild takes a step back to address the why and how behind the origins of behavioral insights, and how best to translate and scale behavioral science from lab-based research findings. Governments, for-profit enterprises, and welfare organizations have increasingly started relying on findings from the behavioral sciences to develop more accessible and user-friendly products, processes, and experiences for their end-users.

University of Toronto Press On the Heroic Frenzies
Book SynopsisItalian astronomer and Dominican friar Giordano Bruno (15481600), found guilty of heresy by the Roman Inquisition and burned at the stake, has long been an enigma of early modern European philosophy. His central 1586 work On the Heroic Frenzies has shown a particular need for a fresh examination. This vibrant bilingual edition, annotated by celebrated Bruno scholar Ingrid D. Rowland, features the text in its original Italian alongside an elegant, accurate English translation. On the Heroic Frenzies is at once a philosophical dialogue, an anthology of love poetry, and a collection of sonnets, songs, and emblems sometimes borrowed from other writers, but primarily Bruno’s own. Rowland’s detailed introduction and extensive footnotes highlight the philosophical sources, Biblical allusions, and biographical elements that make Bruno’s work both richly conceived and often challenging to understand. Providing cohesive insights into Bruno’s tTrade Review"Scholars, teachers, and students of Renaissance literature and intellectual history will certainly benefit from this elegant translation, which successfully contributes to the growing availability of Italian philosophical texts in reliable and accessible English translations. Bruno specialists, moreover, will certainly appreciate Rowland’s deep understanding of the text and insightful comments on the life and thought of the Nolan." -- Matteo Soranzo * Recensioni *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction The Imprese of the Eroici furori DE GLI EROICI FURORI / ON THE HEROIC FRENZIES Argomento del Nolano sopra Gli eroici furori The Nolan's Argument of the Heroic Frenzies Prima parte First Part Seconda parte Second Part Notes Bibliography Index

University of Minnesota Press Chris Marker
Book SynopsisFormative writings by French avant-garde filmmaker Chris Marker It is hard to imagine French cinema without La Jetée (1962), the time-travel short feature by the reclusive French filmmaker Christian François Bouche-Villeneuve, better known as Chris Marker. He not only influenced artists ranging from David Bowie to J. G. Ballard but also inspired the cult film 12 Monkeys. Marker’s influence expanded beyond his own films through his writings for the French monthly Esprit as well as anthologies and newly founded film publications. This first English translation of Marker’s early writings on film brings together reviews and essays, published between 1948 and 1955, that span the topics of film style, adaptation, and ideology, as well as animation and the debates surrounding 3-D and wide-screen technologies, ranging from late silent-era films to postwar Hollywood’s efforts to contend with the rise of television. Readers will find commentary on Laurence Olivier’s 1944 screen adaptation of Henry V, a scathing review of Robert Montgomery’s Lady in the Lake (1947), critiques of Walt Disney productions, a discussion of the pitfalls of prioritizing commercial success over aesthetic values, and more. An indispensable resource for cinephiles and scholars alike, these texts document the emergence of Marker’s critical voice and situate him alongside such contemporaries as André Bazin and Eric Rohmer, as well as the future French New Wave figures Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. They show how his remarks on individual films open onto his engagement with films as social and cultural phenomena.

Duke University Press The Terrible We
Book SynopsisIn The Terrible We Cameron Awkward-Rich thinks with the bad feelings and mad habits of thought that persist in both transphobic discourse and trans cultural production. Observing that trans studies was founded on a split from and disavowal of madness, illness, and disability, Awkward-Rich argues for and models a trans criticism that works against this disavowal. By tracing the coproduction of the categories of disabled and transgender in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century and analyzing transmasculine literature and theory by Eli Clare, Elliott DeLine, Dylan Scholinski, and others, Awkward-Rich suggests that thinking with maladjustment might provide new perspectives on the impasses arising from the conflicted relationships among trans, feminist, and queer. In so doing, he demonstrates that rather than only impeding or confining trans life, thought, and creativity, forms of maladjustment have also been and will continue to be central to their development.Table of ContentsPreface/Acknowledgments vii Introduction: On Staying with the Terrible We 1 1.

American Psychological Association The Hugging Tree A Story About Resilience
Book SynopsisThe Hugging Tree tells the story of a little tree growing all alone on a cliff, by a vast and mighty sea. Trade ReviewA tree precariously growing on a cliff-side serves as a metaphor for resilience under trying circumstances. "There's hardly any dirt for me./ No forest breeze, no birds, no bees./ But I will do the best I can to make this rock my home," says the tree, which befriends the rolling sea, birds, moon, and sun as it grows. Wong's delicate artwork touchingly conveys the tree s lonesome and perilous circumstances, and after a storm tears away the tree's roots, a boy brings it soil, enabling it to thrive and suggesting that resilience doesn't necessarily mean absolute independence...the tree's strength and transformation should have emotional impact for sensitive readers. * Publisher's Weekly *A gentle reminder that ‘storms will come and storms will go. * Plant Talk *The Hugging Tree is an inspiring and captivating story...Jill Niemark's text is poetic and rhythmic with beautiful imagery. Nicole Wong's illustrations are exquisite and evoke the emotion and joy in the story.... It is all about encouraging children to talk about the challenges they face (i.e. bullying, disappointments, loss, etc.) and to give them tools to cope. * Children's Books Heal *Wow. This is a powerful story that I can see being used at many levels. It is the story of a tree, growing alone on a cliff. The tree is faced with many challenges including thunder storms, freezing winters and vast, crashing waves, but the kindness and compassion of one little boy and protected by the natural world, the tree grows and eventually becomes a shelter for others. The entire story could be seen as a metaphor for the hope and resilience we can show when faced with life s struggles. A great book for inferring and transform! * Reading Power Gear *

American Psychological Association Essentials of Narrative Analysis
Book SynopsisThe brief, practical texts in the Essentials of Qualitative Methods series introduce social science and psychology researchers to key approaches toqualitative methods, offering exciting opportunities to gather in-depth qualitative data and to develop rich and useful findings. In this book, Ruthellen Josselson and Phillip L. Hammack introduce readers to Narrative Analysis, a qualitative method that investigates how people make meaning of their lives and experiences in both social and cultural contexts. This method offers researchers a window into how individuals'' stories are shaped by the categories they inhabit, such as gender, race, class, and sexual identity, and it preserves the voice of the individual through a close textual analysis of their storytelling.About the Essentials of Qualitative Methods book series: Even for experienced researchers, selecting and correctly applying the right method can be challenging. In this groundbreaking series,Trade ReviewA crisp, clear, and pragmatic orientation to narrative research in psychology. Every student beginning narrative research should have this book firmly in hand. An excellent introduction that explains why narrative is so critical to the future of psychological research. -- Brian Schiff, PhD, author of A New Narrative for Psychology, American University of Paris, Paris, FranceUsing clear examples and easy to grasp language, the authors demonstrate narrative analysis methods and also ask researchers to think in new ways. They demonstrate how to balance the small details of a person’s life with attention to the bigger picture—the person as they exist in history, social locations, and inequality. Psychologists across many fields can learn from this guidebook how to study people in context. -- Sara McClelland, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology and Women’s & Gender Studies, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United StatesTable of ContentsSeries Foreword—Clara E.

Cornell University Press Emotional Communities in the Early Middle Ages
Book SynopsisThis highly original book is both a study of emotional discourse in the Early Middle Ages and a contribution to the debates among historians and social scientists about the nature of human emotions.Trade Review"This is a landmark book, not only for the early middle ages but also for the emerging field of the history of emotions. Barbara H. Rosenwein evaluates with superb intelligence the strengths and weaknesses of the various methods that have been applied in this field, and fashions an approach of her own that will serve as a useful model for many other researchers. Using this carefully constructed method, she is able to bring to life for us, as no other scholar has, the emotional communities whose existence is implied in the scattered texts and epigraphs of the sixth, seventh, and eighth centuries. A real tour de force." -- William M. Reddy, William T. Laprade Professor of History and Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Duke University"Thoroughly discrediting the view of many scholars that medieval people, in contrast to modern ones, were 'emotionally childish, impulsive, and unrestrained,' Barbara H. Rosenwein ably develops and deploys the concept of 'emotional communities' to investigate several groups in early Medieval Europe whose members adhered to 'the same norms of emotional expression and valued—or devalued—the same or related emotions.'." -- Stephen D. White, Candler Professor of Medieval History, Emory University"What did people 1400 years ago mean when they told a woman that they 'were moved by her tears,' or found an event 'hell raising'? Historians have always been puzzled by medieval descriptions of emotions. They interpreted them in simplistic terms, or at best explained displays of emotion as ritual performances quite unconnected to what people really felt. Barbara H. Rosenwein, using recent psychological theory, opens doors to a completely new understanding of past emotions. Instead of a general and necessarily blurred picture of a 'typical' medieval set of emotions, she subtly reconstructs feelings and attitudes,'emotives' and passions shared by specific 'emotional communities.' Various languages of emotion connected stereotypes and metaphors with inner feelings. The book opens fascinating new ways of access to a 'dark age,' and should be read not only by medieval historians but also by anyone interested in the study of emotions past or present." -- Walter Pohl, Professor of Medieval History, University of Vienna, and Director, Institute for Medieval Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences"With her original book, Emotional Communities in the Early Middle Ages, Barbara H. Rosenwein opens new perspectives on the history of emotions. This includes a persuasive critique of Norbert Elias's influential notion of the civilizing process. Proposing that people lived (and live) in emotional communities, each having its own particular norms and emotional expressions, Rosenwein has written a groundbreaking book that is highly important to historians as well as to social scientists working on the history of emotions." -- Ingrid Kasten, Freie Universitët Berlin"With this book Barbara Rosenwein has made the emotions an essential component of our approach to the changing social history." -- Jacques Le GoffTable of ContentsIntroduction1.
