A moose frustrates commuters by wandering onto the highway; a cougar stalks his prey through suburban backyards; an alligator suns himself in a strip mall parking lot Such stories, which regularly make headline news, highlight the blurred divide that now exists between civilization and wilderness In Coyote at the Kitchen Door, Stephen DeStefano одеги draws on decades of experience as a biologist and conservationist to examine the interplay between urban sprawl and wayward wildlife As he explores what our insatiable appetite for real estate means for the health and wellbeing of animals and ourselves, he highlights growing concerns, such as the loss of darkness at night because of light pollution DeStefano writes movingly about the contrasts between constructed and natural environments and about the sometimes cherished, sometimes feared place that nature holds in our modern lives, as we cluster into cities yet show an increasing interest in the natural world Woven throughout the book is the story of one of the most successful species in North America: the coyote Once restricted to the prairies of the West, this adaptable animal now inhabits most of North Americaa??urban and wild alike DeStefano traces a female coyote’s movements along a winding path between landscapes in which her species learned to survive and flourish Coyote at the Kitchen Door asks us to rethink the meaning of progress and create a new suburban wildlife ethic.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 224 стр ISBN 0674035569.

Exposes the agenda behind the bio-robotic grey aliens’ genetic manipulation of certain human races • Reveals the Grey’s nature as sophisticated self-aware machines created by a long vanished extraterrestrial civilization • Explains how their quest to capture human souls appears in the historical record from biblical times • Explains одегю how the phenomenon of racism is a by-product of their genetic tampering In 1997 Nigel Kerner first introduced the notion of aliens known as Greys coming to Earth, explaining that Greys are sophisticated biological robots created by an extraterrestrial civilization they have long since outlived In this new book Kerner reveals that the Greys are seeking to master death by obtaining something humans possess that they do not: souls Through the manipulation of human DNA, these aliens hope to create their own souls and, thereby, escape the entropic grip of the material universe in favor of the timeless realm of spirit Kerner explains that genetic manipulation by the Greys has occurred since biblical times and has led to numerous negative qualities that plague humanity, such as violence, greed, and maliciousness Racism, he contends, was developed by the aliens to prevent their genetic experiments from being compromised by breeding with others outside their influence Examining historical records, Kerner shows that Jesus, who represented an uncorrupted genetic line, warned his disciples about the threat posed by these alien interlopers, while Hitler, a pure product of this alien intelligence, waged genocide in an attempt to rid Earth of all those untouched by this genetic tampering Despite the powerful grip the Greys have on humanity, Kerner says that all hope is not lost Greys exist wholly in the material world, so if we follow the spiritual laws of reincarnation and karma, aiming for enlightenment and rising above the material--a state the Greys are unable to reach--we can free ourselves from their grasp.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 504 стр ISBN 1591431034.

From antebellum slavery to the twenty-first century, African American funeral directors have orchestrated funerals or “homegoing” ceremonies with dignity and pageantry As entrepreneurs in a largely segregated trade, they were among the few black individuals in any community who were economically independent and not beholden to the одедг local white power structure Most important, their financial freedom gave them the ability to support the struggle for civil rights and, indeed, to serve the living as well as bury the dead During the Jim Crow era, black funeral directors relied on racial segregation to secure their foothold in America’s capitalist marketplace With the dawning of the civil rights age, these entrepreneurs were drawn into the movement to integrate American society, but were also uncertain how racial integration would affect their business success From the beginning, this tension between personal gain and community service shaped the history of African American funeral directing For African Americans, death was never simply the end of life, and funerals were not just places to mourn In the “hush harbors” of the slave quarters, African Americans first used funerals to bury their dead and to plan a path to freedom Similarly, throughout the longa??and often violenta??struggle for racial equality in the twentieth century, funeral directors aided the cause by honoring the dead while supporting the living To Serve the Living offers a fascinating history of how African American funeral directors have been integral to the fight for freedom.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 288 стр ISBN 0674036212.

Diana Wells, author of 100 Flowers and How They Got Their Names now turns her attention to something bigger—our deep-rooted relationship with trees As she investigates the names and meanings of trees, telling their legends and lore, she reminds us of just how innately bound we are to these protectors of our planet Since the human race began, we одежс have depended on them for food, shade, shelter and fuel, not to mention furniture, musical instruments, medicine utensils and more Wells has a remarkable ability to dig up the curious and the captivating: At one time, a worm found in a hazelnut prognosticated ill fortune Rowan trees were planted in churchyards to prevent the dead from rising from their graves Greek arrows were soaked in deadly yew, and Shakespeare’s witches in Macbeth used “Gall of goat and slips of Yew” to make their lethal brew One bristlecone pine, at about 4,700 years old, is thought to be the oldest living plant on earth All this and more can be found in the beautifully illustrated pages (themselves born of birch bark!) of 100 Trees.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 369 стр ISBN 156512491X.

Critics of intelligence tests—writers such as Robert Sternberg, Howard Gardner, and Daniel Goleman—have argued in recent years that these tests neglect important qualities such as emotion, empathy, and interpersonal skills However, such critiques imply that though intelligence tests may miss certain key noncognitive areas, they encompass одежц most of what is important in the cognitive domain In this book, Keith E Stanovich challenges this widely held assumption Stanovich shows that IQ tests (or their proxies, such as the SAT) are radically incomplete as measures of cognitive functioning They fail to assess traits that most people associate with “good thinking,” skills such as judgment and decision making Such cognitive skills are crucial to real-world behavior, affecting the way we plan, evaluate critical evidence, judge risks and probabilities, and make effective decisions IQ tests fail to assess these skills of rational thought, even though they are measurable cognitive processes Rational thought is just as important as intelligence, Stanovich argues, and it should be valued as highly as the abilities currently measured on intelligence tests.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 328 стр ISBN 0300164629.

Join Paul Raffaele, whom the Washington Post calls the "last of the great, old-fashioned adventure writers," is on a journey to meet the last great apes living in the wild Humans have long felt a deep attraction to the great apes: bonobos, chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas We see a reflection of ourselves in their faces, in their mannerisms, одезй and in their interactions with kin But we also look to them for contrast Part of how we define ourselves as human rests with recognizing the differences between us and the great apes, in spite of the substantial amounts of DNA we share In decades past, many great primatologists, including Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall, and Richard Wrangham, have dedicated their lives to the observation and study of the great apes in their natural habitats Unfortunately, many of these sheltering places no longer exist The great apes live in some of the most volatile regions on our planet, lands plagued by civil unrest, poverty, environmental degradation, and corrupt governments In Among the Great Apes, acclaimed nature journalist Paul Raffaele goes into the wild to see how our closest relatives are faring today He takes us through isolated jungles and misty mountain forests, sharing wonderfully intimate observations of ape life paired with the most current research about their behavior Raffaele introduces us to leading conservationists and researchers working to save and study the apes But, best of all, he gets up close to these amazing animals He describes orangutans fashioning umbrellas from long leaves, a young chimpanzee mothering a "baby" log, and the bonobos' lively ritual of swinging like gymnasts through the treetops before building elaborate nests to sleep in Moving from Borneo to the Congo, Among the Great Apes brings us to the natural habitats of all the species and subspecies of the great apes?a trip possible for perhaps the last time.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 384 стр ISBN 0061671835.

This clinician-friendly guide presents a model for engaging the most challenging children and families who are served by the child welfare, mental health, juvenile justice, and special educations systems These children are among the most troubled clients that treatment providers will ever encounter They have been failed by every adult, every одедв treatment modality, and every system of care that they have encountered Unconditional Care, a breakthrough guide from the founder and clinical director of California's Seneca Center for Children and Families, offers both a theoretical model and practical guidelines for working with this most difficult group of children The approach weaves together attachment theory and learning theory into a coherent relationship-based intervention strategy built around a no-fail policy: a child can never be discharged from a program for exhibiting the behaviors that resulted in the placement Professionals working with these families instead focus on re-building relationships that teach children to secure safe and supportive relationships with caregivers using new behaviors and skills to replace the destructive ones that have, until now, organized their worldview The concept of unconditional care allows, for the first time, a safe space for youth to reconstruct their perceptions of themselves and those who care for them Rich case examples, quick-reference bullets and boxes, and sample assessment and planning worksheets make this a handy clinical reference and training tool for mental health and child welfare professionals.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 304 стр ISBN 0199733031.

Newcomers to older neighborhoods are usually perceived as destructive, tearing down everything that made the place special and attractive But as A Neighborhood That Never Changes demonstrates, many gentrifiers seek to preserve the authentic local flavor of their new homes, rather than ruthlessly remake them Drawing on ethnographic research одедд in four distinct communitiesa??the Chicago neighborhoods of Andersonville and Argyle and the New England towns of Provincetown and Dresdena??Japonica Brown-Saracino paints a colorful portrait of how residents new and old, from wealthy gay homeowners to Portuguese fishermen, think about gentrification The new breed of gentrifiers, Brown-Saracino finds, exhibits an acute self-consciousness about their role in the process and works to minimize gentrificationa??s risks for certain longtime residents In an era of rapid change, they cherish the unique and fragile, whether a dilapidated house, a two-hundred-year-old landscape, or the presence of people deeply rooted in the place they live Contesting many long-standing assumptions about gentrification, Brown-Saracinoa??s absorbing study reveals the unexpected ways beliefs about authenticity, place, and change play out in the social, political, and economic lives of very different neighborhoods.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 352 стр ISBN 0226076636.

Why does time pass and space does not? Are there just three dimensions? What is a quantum particle? Nick Huggett shows that philosophy -- armed with a power to analyze fundamental concepts and their relationship to the human experience -- has much to say about these profound questions about the universe In Everywhere and Everywhen, Huggett charts одеец a journey that peers into some of the oldest questions about the world, through some of the newest, such as: What shape is space? Does it have an edge? What is the difference between past and future? What is time in relativity? Is time travel possible? Are there other universes? Huggett shows that answers to these profound questions are not just reserved for physics, and that philosophy can not only address but help advance our view of our deepest questions about the universe, space, and time, and their implications for humanity His lively, accessible introduction to these topics is suitable for a general reader with no previous exposure to these profound and exciting questions.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 240 стр ISBN 0195379500.

In Moby-Dick, Ishmael declares, "Be it known that, waiving all argument, I take the good old fashioned ground that a whale is a fish, and call upon holy Jonah to back me " Few readers today know just how much argument Ishmael is waiving aside In fact, Melville's antihero here takes sides in one of the great controversies of the early nineteenth одежб century--one that ultimately had to be resolved in the courts of New York City In Trying Leviathan, D Graham Burnett recovers the strange story of Maurice v Judd, an 1818 trial that pitted the new sciences of taxonomy against the then-popular--and biblically sanctioned--view that the whale was a fish The immediate dispute was mundane: whether whale oil was fish oil and therefore subject to state inspection But the trial fueled a sensational public debate in which nothing less than the order of nature--and how we know it--was at stake Burnett vividly recreates the trial, during which a parade of experts--pea-coated whalemen, pompous philosophers, Jacobin lawyers--took the witness stand, brandishing books, drawings, and anatomical reports, and telling tall tales from whaling voyages Falling in the middle of the century between Linnaeus and Darwin, the trial dramatized a revolutionary period that saw radical transformations in the understanding of the natural world Out went comfortable biblical categories, and in came new sorting methods based on the minutiae of interior anatomy--and louche details about the sexual behaviors of God's creatures When leviathan breached in New York in 1818, this strange beast churned both the natural and social orders--and not everyone would survive.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 304 стр ISBN 0691146152.

In his most important book to date, award-winning author Timothy Ferris?"the best popular science writer in the English language today" (Christian Science Monitor)?makes a passionate case for science as the inspiration behind the rise of liberalism and democracy Ferris argues that just as the scientific revolution rescued billions одежь from poverty, fear, hunger, and disease, the Enlight-enment values it inspired has swelled the number of persons living in free and democratic societies from less than 1 percent of the world population four centuries ago to more than a third today Ferris deftly investigates the evolution of these scientific and political revolutions, demonstrating that they are inextricably bound He shows how science was integral to the American Revolution but misinterpreted in the French Revolution; reflects on the history of liberalism, stressing its widely underestimated and mutually beneficial relationship with science; and surveys the forces that have opposed science and liberalism?from communism and fascism to postmodernism and Islamic fundamentalism A sweeping intellectual history, The Science of Liberty is a stunningly original work that transcends the antiquated concepts of left and right.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 384 стр ISBN 0060781505.

Visionary social thinker Joel Kotkin looks ahead to America in 2050, revealing how the addition of one hundred million Americans by midcentury will transform how we all live, work, and prosper In stark contrast to the rest of the world's advanced nations, the United States is growing at a record rate and, according to census projections, will be одежя home to four hundred million Americans by 2050 This projected rise in population is the strongest indicator of our long-term economic strength, Joel Kotkin believes, and will make us more diverse and more competitive than any nation on earth Drawing on prodigious research, firsthand reportage, and historical analysis, The Next Hundred Million reveals how this unprecedented growth will take physical shape and change the face of America The majority of the additional hundred million Americans will find their homes in suburbia, though the suburbs of tomorrow will not resemble the Levittowns of the 1950s or the sprawling exurbs of the late twentieth century The suburbs of the twenty-first century will be less reliant on major cities for jobs and other amenities and, as a result, more energy efficient Suburbs will also be the melting pots of the future as more and more immigrants opt for dispersed living over crowded inner cities and the majority in the United States becomes nonwhite by 2050 In coming decades, urbanites will flock in far greater numbers to affordable, vast, and autoreliant metropolitan areas-such as Houston, Phoenix, and Las Vegas-than to glamorous but expensive industrial cities, such as New York and Chicago Kotkin also foresees that the twenty-first century will be marked by a resurgence of the American heartland, far less isolated in the digital era and a crucial source of renewable fuels and real estate for a growing population But in both big cities and small towns across the country, we will see what Kotkin calls "the new localism"-a greater emphasis on family ties and local community, enabled by online networks and the increasing numbers of Americans working from home The Next Hundred Million provides a vivid snapshot of America in 2050 by focusing not on power brokers, policy disputes, or abstract trends, but rather on the evolution of the more intimate units of American society-families, towns, neighborhoods, industries It is upon the success or failure of these communities, Kotkin argues, that the American future rests.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 320 стр ISBN 1594202443.

Earlier this year, President Obama declared one of his top priorities to be “making sure that people are able to get enough to eat ” The United States spends about five billion dollars on food aid and related programs each year, but still, both domestically and internationally, millions of people are hungry In 2006, the Food and Agricultural одеищ Organization of the United Nations counted 850 million hungry people worldwide, but as food prices soared, an additional 100 million or more who were vulnerable succumbed to food insecurity If hunger were simply a matter of food production, no one would go without There is more than enough food produced annually to provide every living person with a healthy diet, yet so many suffer from food shortages, unsafe water, and malnutrition every year That’s because hunger is a complex political, economic, and ecological phenomenon The interplay of these forces produces a geography of hunger that Thomas J Bassett and Alex Winter-Nelson illuminate in this empowering book The Atlas of World Hunger uses a conceptual framework informed by geography and agricultural economics to present a hunger index that combines food availability, household access, and nutritional outcomes into a single tool—one that delivers a fuller understanding of the scope of global hunger, its underlying mechanisms, and the ways in which the goals for ending hunger can be achieved The first depiction of the geography of hunger worldwide, the Atlas will be an important resource for teachers, students, and anyone else interested in understanding the geography and causes of hunger This knowledge, the authors argue, is a critical first step toward eliminating unnecessary suffering in a world of plenty.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 216 стр ISBN 0226039072.

This absorbing narrative follows the craft community of French chocolatiers-members of a tiny group experiencing intensive international competition-as they struggle to ensure the survival of their businesses Susan J Terrio moves easily among ethnography, history, theory, and vignette, telling a story that challenges conventional views одейб of craft work, associational forms, and training models in late capitalism She enters the world of Parisian craft leaders and local artisanal families there and in southwest France to relate how they work and how they confront the representatives and structures of power, from taste makers, CEOs, and advertising executives to the technocrats of Paris and Brussels Looking at craft culture and community from a cross-disciplinary perspective, Terrio finds that the chocolatiers affirm their collective identity and their place in the present by commemorating selectively their role in history In addition to joining a distinguished tradition of American anthropological writing on the role of food, her study of the social production of taste in the invention of vintage, grand cru chocolates lends specificity and weight to theories of consumption by Pierre Bourdieu and others The book will appeal to anthropologists, cultural studies scholars, and anyone curious about life in contemporary France.  ISBN 0520221257.

What happened to the so-called "golden age" of the postwar boom? Unprecedented rates of economic growth, profitability, and wage increases during the 1950s and 60s have given way to a global capitalist economy in disarray Reassessing common interpretations of postwar economic history and geography, this book focuses on the evolution одейи of the global economy from the 1950s to the present Based on extensive research, the book assesses histories of growth, profitability, and technological change in core industrial economies (Japan and the USA), raw material dependent economies (Australia and Canada), and several newly industrializing countries (Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan) The authors build on standard models of economic change to incorporate new developments in regional dynamics: they use nonlinear, nonequilibrium, and evolutionary arguments to frame discussions of profit rates, technological change, and interregional capital flows.  ISBN 0898625734.

This study of late medieval Sicily develops a critique of theories of dependence through trade, and a new interpretation of the late medieval economy It thus addresses current debates on the origins of modern Italian economic dualism, and on the transition from feudalism to capitalism in early modern Europe Dr Epstein argues that economic development одейц during this period was shaped largely by regional political and institutional structures which regulated access to markets Following the Black Death, many institutional and social constraints on commercialization were relaxed throughout western Europe as a result of social conflict and demographic change Peasants became more commercialized; economic growth occurred through regional integration and specialization The Sicilian economy also expanded and became increasingly export-oriented although only a small proportion of its output was shipped abroad before 1500 Late medieval Sicily is thus shown to have been neither underdeveloped nor dependent on foreign manufactures and trade.  ISBN 0521525071.

The enormous growth of London during the early modern period brought with it major social problems, yet, as Steve Rappaport demonstrates in this innovative study, Tudor London was essentially a stable society, subject to stress but never seriously threatened by widespread popular unrest or other forms of instability Professor Rappaport looks одейь once again at the nature, causes, and effects of the principal threats to the capital's stability in the sixteenth century - the threefold increase in population, the economic impact of such demographic expansion, the substantial rise in prices and the inequitable distribution of wealth and power - and concludes that historians have hitherto exaggerated the severity of such problems and over-simplified their effects Professor Rappaport's researches suggest that the institutional superstructure of the capital was more adaptable, its small social organisations more resilient, and opportunities for social mobility far greater than many historians have acknowledged Worlds Within Worlds combines sophisticated quantitative analysis with vivid empirical detail, and mounts a major challenge to much current thinking about urban life in early modern Britain.  ISBN 052189221X.
